Every private room on the second floor was divided into a front hall and a back hall.
The moment Xu Shan pushed open the door and entered, the huge stone that had been hanging in her heart was half put down. He Yiming and Xu Shan didn't directly enter the inner room. Instead, the two of them held hands and silently admired the painting hanging on the wall.
Ever since He Yiming entered the room, he immediately saw the painting on the wall.
This was a painting of mountains and rivers. It looked vivid and lifelike, and it was quite fascinating. However, it clearly wasn't made by a famous artist because there wasn't any name or seal on the painting.
If it wasn't for the fact that this painting was indeed a masterpiece, it wouldn't be hung in this place.
Of course, this was only something that ordinary people could appreciate.
In He Yiming's eyes, this painting wasn't just a painting for people to admire. It was a painting that contained some kind of Dao of Heaven and Earth.
He was certain that the person who made this painting was definitely a Xiantian Master. Moreover, it was a Xiantian Master who had considerable attainments in the Dao of Clouds and Rain.
This painting might not be of much use to the current He Yiming, but if he looked at it for a long time, he could comprehend the Dao contained in the painting and verify it with his own understanding. It should be of some help.
He sighed in his heart. His luck was really good. If it wasn't for Young Master Zi insulting Yuan Lixun, he wouldn't have come up here, let alone see this landscape painting.
Unless this landscape painting fell into the hands of a Xiantian Master like him who had comprehended the Dao of Clouds and Rain, no one would be able to see through its mysteries even if it was hung there for a hundred years.
Even Cheng Fu and Shui Xuanjin couldn't see through it.
Light footsteps sounded behind him. He Yiming turned around with a trace of a playful smile on his face.
Xu Shan smiled bitterly and bowed deeply to He Yiming. Seeing the painful expression on his face, He Yiming muttered to himself and pointed at the landscape painting on the wall. His meaning couldn't be more obvious.
Xu Shan let out a long sigh and nodded his head like a chick pecking at rice. As long as he could persuade this unfathomable maleficent star, he was willing to pay any price, let alone a landscape painting to be hung here for people to admire.
After all, he was doing business in the Tian Luo Kingdom. If he offended the five aristocratic families, he wouldn't have a good ending.
Even with Feng Laixiang's deep background, he wasn't willing to easily offend the local tyrant.
Of course, after witnessing He Yiming's skills, he was deeply fearful. He was already so powerful at such a young age. God knows how powerful his backer was.
As long as these two didn't cause a ruckus in his Soaring Phoenix, he would thank the heavens and earth.
He Yiming smiled and nodded to Yuan Lixun.
He Yiming was about the same age as He Yiming, but she was smart and quick-witted. She immediately understood what he meant. Seeing that he was no longer entangled in the matter of Young Master Suan, although she was gratified, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
However, when she took a few steps forward and was about to take down the painting, she heard a familiar voice, "Lixun, after we get out of here, I will help you vent your anger."
Yuan Lixun was slightly startled. Her heart was suddenly filled with sweetness, and a thick sense of happiness arose spontaneously. Her movements seemed to have become lighter.
Suddenly, a light sound came from the inner hall's door. Zi Ruiguang walked out with a displeased expression. When he saw He Yiming and Xu Shan, the displeasure on his face immediately turned into extreme dissatisfaction.
Xu Shan suddenly had a splitting headache. He didn't expect this young master to walk out so quickly. It seemed like he wasn't interested in the carefully prepared jewels in the building.
At that moment, Yuan Lixun happened to be next to the landscape painting. She naturally ignored Zi Ruiguang as if he didn't exist. She reached out her hand to take down the painting.
Zi Ruiguang scoffed angrily. When his gaze landed on the painting, he was suddenly stunned. When he saw that Yuan Lixun's fair hand had already touched the painting's frame, he immediately shouted, "Wait!"
His voice was fearless, and he raised his eyebrows as if everyone in the world should listen to his orders.
However, regardless of whether it was He Yiming or Yuan Lixun, how could they really listen to his orders?
Yuan Lixun took down the painting as if she didn't notice him. She pulled out the frame and rolled it up.
Zi Ruiguang's face instantly turned pale. In the past 20 years of his life, it was rare for him to meet someone who didn't give him face.
When he shouted angrily, the servants outside immediately swarmed in. Although they were also abnormally fearful of He Yiming, but when their master called for them, they didn't dare to be negligent.
He Yiming saw Yuan Lixun holding the painting and returning to his side. He could not help but smile and turned to ask, "Mister Xu, how much is this painting? Name a price."
Xu Shan sighed and smiled bitterly. "This painting is used for decoration in this building. If you're interested, you can take it."
He Yiming shook his head. "That won't do. He doesn't have the habit of taking things by force."
Xu Shan smiled bitterly and thought to himself, 'As long as you don't continue to stay here and provoke Zi Ruiguang, you can take eight or ten of these paintings.'
However, he could not say that out loud in front of Zi Ruiguang.
Zi Ruiguang scoffed and suddenly said, "Mister Xu, I'll take that painting."
Xu Shan widened his mouth and looked like he was in extreme pain. It was as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a fly.
He Yiming did not seem to have heard him. He continued to smile and said, "Mister Xu, not only do I want this painting, but I also want to know its origin, who painted it, and why it's hung here."
The anger on Zi Ruiguang's face grew stronger and stronger. He suddenly said, "Are you two deaf? I want this painting."
He Yiming waved his hand and said, "Where did this fly come from? It's buzzing and annoying."
This time, the faces of Xu Shan and the others changed completely. If it was only a small conflict earlier, what Ou Yangming said was a provocation.
If it were any other time, Zi Ruiguang's attendants would have already reprimanded him or taken action. However, earlier on, they had witnessed He Yiming's elusive body technique. They knew that Ou Yangming's skills were remarkable, and he was one of a kind. If they wanted to be his enemy, they would not be able to gain anything. Therefore, they kept quiet out of fear. Though they looked like they were facing a common enemy, nobody dared to say anything to provoke Ou Yangming.
Yuan Lixun covered her mouth and chuckled softly. However, her gaze inadvertently glanced at a person's face. Immediately, her beautiful brows furrowed slightly. However, it was only for an instant before she returned to normal. Because for a moment, she actually couldn't remember who that person was.
Nevertheless, the person kept staring at He Yiming, so he did not notice the change in Yuan Lixun's expression.
Zi Ruiguang's eyes flashed with embarrassment and anger, then he was instantly filled with a fierce killing intent.
When He Yiming sensed the killing intent, he could not help but sigh. The disciples of the wealthy and influential clans really regarded human lives as worthless. He merely mocked Ou Yangming, and it triggered his killing intent. Ou Yangming did not know if human lives were too worthless in this world, or if the hearts of these people were too twisted and perverted.
"Hehe, I'm Zi Ruiguang from the Zi Estate. May I know how to address you? You don't look familiar." Zi Ruiguang forcefully suppressed the resentment in his heart and squeezed out a smile.
Although he was furious, he was not a stupid good-for-nothing since he was born in a wealthy family.
At the very least, he knew that he had to find out about his opponent's background. If it was too troublesome, he could not touch the bottom line of the aristocratic clans.
He Yiming smiled and said, "You don't have to pull strings with me. I don't have a friend like you who is useless and looks down on others."
When he said this, he winked twice at Yuan Lixun. Yuan Lixun's beautiful face immediately blushed. She quickly lowered her gaze, but there was a deep smile in her eyes.
When they first met, Zi Ruiguang had mocked Yuan Lixun for being a country bumpkin. Therefore, when He Yiming said that he was looking down on others, it was a tit for tat action. It clearly showed that he did not put Zi Ruiguang on the same level.
He Yiming's attitude was unbridled and even domineering. It was as if he did not put the entire Zi Estate in his eyes.
Zi Ruiguang's face finally became gloomy. He snorted angrily and no longer cared about the fear in his heart.
He had already been criticized to this extent. If he still endured it, then the name of the Five Aristocratic Clans of Tianluo Kingdom would be in vain.
He waved his hand and said coldly, "Take them down."
Fortunately, he was not dizzy and knew that this was not a place to kill. However, once the two of them were taken down, there were countless ways to deal with them.
Since their master had spoken, the servants and diners naturally did not dare to disobey. They complained in their hearts, but they still pounced forward.
There were a total of twelve people beside Zi Ruiguang. Nine of them were servants trained by the Zi Family, while the other three were diners recruited from other places.
At this moment, there were six attendants. Just by looking at their identities, one could tell that they were definitely skilled in joint attacks. Their movements were filled with a valiant aura, as if they had experienced bloody battles on the battlefield.
He Yiming naturally wouldn't put these people in his eyes. He smiled faintly and was about to make a move when he heard a burst of hurried footsteps coming from outside. Then, the door was pushed open and a person quickly stepped into the room.
As soon as the person entered the room, he happened to see the servants making a move. He also saw He Yiming and Yuan Lixun leisurely, as if they did not notice the mountain-like fist and the sharp fist wind at all.
That person's face suddenly changed and his eyes were filled with fear.
Without hesitation, he rushed forward and shouted, "Stop!"
His voice was filled with terror, but it was also filled with power. The six servants who had already rushed out were stunned when they heard this because they were all too familiar with this voice. However, for some reason, this voice had changed slightly, as if it was slightly different from what they remembered.
Zi Ruiguang's face immediately revealed an overjoyed expression. However, he was immediately dumbfounded.
This was because after this person appeared, not only did he have no intention of helping him, but he also rushed forward as if he was flying. He arrived between He Yiming and the six servants first.
He had his back facing He Yiming, completely leaving his back to him. He did not set up any defenses at all. At the same time, he stretched out his hands and struck out fiercely.
After the six servants were stunned, they immediately noticed the person in front of them. Their faces changed drastically at the same time. Facing the fist and palm that were striking through the air, they did not even dare to block it, let alone counterattack. Each of them stood as straight as a mountain like wooden stakes.
That person mercilessly struck each of the six servants with his palm, instantly sending them flying.
However, he also held back his strength, only sending the six servants flying. He did not really injure them.
After doing this, that person suddenly turned around and bowed deeply to the ground. He said respectfully, "Master He, my younger brother was ignorant and offended you. Please be magnanimous and forgive his unintentional mistake. When I return, I will definitely punish him severely. "
Xu Shan, Zi Ruiguang, and the others were stunned at first, then immediately widened their eyes.
Although they did not recognize He Yiming, after hearing about "Master He" that had been spreading like wildfire in the capital recently, if they still did not know where he came from, they would not be able to stay in the capital anymore.
For a moment, everyone's eyes were filled with excitement and fear, especially the servants.
Especially those attendants. Once they thought that they had the guts to attack a Xiantian master, their backs were instantly soaked in cold sweat.
Zi Ruiguang's eyes were also filled with fear. His arrogance disappeared in an instant and was replaced by a deep fear.
He Yiming glanced at that person and said, "You're Zi Ruiwen."
"Yes." Zi Ruiwen was inexplicably excited. "I didn't expect Master He to remember my name. It's my honor."
He Yiming secretly shook his head. When they first met, Zi Ruiwen was riding on a horse in the middle of the street with a large group of young masters and young ladies. His unscrupulous manner was much stronger than Zi Ruiguang's.
It was just that he had recognized him at this moment, which was why he had become so restrained and submissive.
He Yiming suddenly felt agitated. He did not want to have anything to do with these people at all. He sneered and said, "Young Master Zi, you're really impressive. I think Young Master Zi Ruiguang needs to be taught a lesson."
Zi Ruiwen's face changed slightly. He immediately said respectfully, "Yes, you're right, Master He."
Then, he turned around and came to Zi Ruiguang. "Raise your head."
Zi Ruiguang lifted his head in a daze. His vision blurred and he felt a burning pain on his face. His elder brother, Zi Ruiwen, had slapped him one after another.
After a few slaps, his face was as swollen as a pig's head. Blood dripped from the corner of his mouth. It was a ghastly sight.
Nevertheless, after subconsciously dodging the first slap, Zi Ruiguang stood straight and endured it without begging for mercy.
He Yiming frowned and said, "Alright, let's call it a day."
Zi Ruiwen finally stopped and said, "Why aren't you thanking Master He?"
Zi Ruiguang bent down and said, "Thank you, Master He." His face was so swollen that he could not even speak clearly.
He Yiming ignored him and said, "Mister Xu, can you tell me how much this painting is worth and where it came from?"
Xu Shan finally jumped up as if he had just woken up from a dream. He agreed repeatedly and gave a series of orders at the same time.
After a brief moment, someone brought an account book over. Xu Shan flipped through it a few times and said with a bitter smile, "Master He, I've found out that this painting was made two months ago by a destitute wanderer who had a meal in our restaurant. He didn't have the money to pay the bill, so he made this painting on the spot to pay the bill. The shopkeeper at that time thought the painting was pretty good, so he decided to waive his bill and sent the painting here as a decoration. "
"Pay the bill for the wine?" He Yiming did not know whether to laugh or cry. He sighed in his heart. The world was so big, and there were so many strange things. An Innate Expert was actually so destitute and could even reason with ordinary people. This was also a great anecdote.
Xu Shan replied respectfully, "In response to Master He, that's exactly the case."
He Yiming pondered for a while and asked, "Did Feng Laixiang open a restaurant here too?"
"Yes, we have similar jewelry stores and restaurants in all the big countries."
"If someone ate a meal but couldn't pay for the wine, how do you usually deal with it?"
Xu Shan hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "According to the restaurant's rules, if we really meet someone who eats a free meal, then we have to beat him until he spits out everything he ate."
He Yiming's expression became more and more strange, and said, "Your restaurant's shopkeeper has some eyesight. Fortunately, he accepted this painting and did not use violence. Otherwise, your restaurant can forget about opening."
Xu Shan was slightly startled, and asked tentatively, "Why is that?"
He Yiming took the painting from Yuan Lixun's hands, and gently stroked it, and said, "The painter of this painting is a Innate Master. His understanding of the Dao of Heaven and Earth is not below mine. Even if I meet him, I may not dare to say that I can defeat him. If your restaurant's bodyguards wanted to beat him out of the food he ate, hehe … "He looked at Xu Shan with ridicule, and said," Of course, maybe there is a hidden Innate Master in your restaurant. "
Xu Shan's expression immediately became extremely interesting, and his eyes widened to a size that he had never seen in his entire life.
He Yiming laughed, and said, "How much is that meal worth? Go back to Shaoming Restaurant and report it. They will settle it with you. Lixun, let's go. "
Yuan Lixun softly responded, and followed He Yiming to the door. Her footsteps suddenly stopped, as if she had thought of something.
However, she forcibly suppressed the surprise in her heart, and left with He Yiming.
He Yiming didn't talk to the Zi brothers again, which made the two of them heave a sigh of relief.
Although Zi Ruiguang was greatly embarrassed, and there was a trace of resentment in his eyes when he looked at He Yiming, there was more fear and lingering fear.
