All the people in the tavern were dumbstruck as they gazed at this pair of man and rooster. They didn't know if they should say that this young man was courageous because of his skill or that he was courting death. In any case, the composure of Chu Mo and the big rooster had completely stunned the group of people in the tavern.
The tavern owner glanced at the two top-grade spirit stones before him and gulped down a mouthful of saliva before he roared furiously at the attendant that stood there dumbstruck. "What're all of you still standing there for? Quickly go serve the best food and wine of our tavern to these two gentlemen! "
Men die for wealth just like birds die for food. Just for the sake of these two top-grade spirit stones, the tavern owner accepted it. As for the Hong Clan … No matter how unreasonable the Hong Clan was, it wouldn't go to the extent of venting their anger on a tavern like him, right?
This meal satisfied both the big rooster and Chu Mo. Needless to say, the ingredients of the Radiant Dimension were filled with intelligence, and it was something that the ingredients of the Mortal Dimension couldn't compare to at all.
The tavern owner who'd been constantly on tenterhooks didn't receive the Hong Clan's revenge even after the two gentlemen had eaten their fill and left the tavern. He couldn't help but feel fortunate in his heart, and then he immediately instructed his subordinates to repair the damaged walls of the tavern.
He practically didn't suffer any other losses!
The value of these two top-grade spirit stones was almost sufficient to buy half of his tavern. Even if Chu Mo demolished the tavern earlier, the tavern owner wouldn't have any objections.
At this moment, in an enormous manor at the east of Silken City.
This was the Hong Clan's residence.
At this moment, a group of people stood in the room that the Hong Clan's Patriarch resided in.
It was precisely the group of people that had a conflict with Chu Mo earlier. The young man that Chu Mo grabbed by the collar and tossed out had changed into a new set of clothes and was standing there timidly.
The Foundation Building Realm cultivator wasn't here because he was injured.
The Hong Clan's Patriarch, Hong Qiang, looked at the young man before him Coldly. "What exactly happened?"
The young man's figure trembled before his knees went weak, and he knelt on the ground. "Eldest … Eldest Uncle …"
"Hmm?" Hong Qiang made a sound through his nostrils.
"Patriarch … I, I was strolling on the street with some people, and I saw a man in a tavern … with a spirit pet, so I thought … I wanted to buy that spirit pet and give it to Eldest Uncle." The young man knelt on the ground, and with a trembling voice, he recounted what had happened.
Hong Qiang's face did not show any emotion. After the young man finished speaking, he looked at the other Hong Family guards and asked, "Is he telling the truth?"
These guards glanced at each other. They surely didn't dare lie before the Patriarch, as everyone knew that this expressionless middle aged man was actually the most ruthless person in the entire Silken City. Lying in front of him was simply courting death.
But at the same time, they did not dare to betray their master. Otherwise, they would not have a good ending in the future.
What the young man had just said was generally correct, but the key problem was that the young man wanted the Spirit Pet Chicken, not because he wanted to give it to the Patriarch first, but because he had his eyes on it.
What were they supposed to say?
Hong Qiang's icy cold gaze swept past the faces of this group of people, and he roughly understood the whole story in his heart.
After that, he glanced deeply at the young man that knelt on the ground and said indifferently, "Alright, I understand. You can leave first."
"Patriarch … I …" The young man seemed to want to say something, yet when he came into contact with the middle aged man's icy cold gaze, he instantly shrunk back and kowtowed before leaving dejectedly.
"Trash that can't accomplish anything, yet is good at spoiling things!" After the young man left, the Patriarch, Hong Qiang, cursed Coldly before the faces of these Hong Family guards, and then he said, "All of you remember to look after him in the future, and don't allow him to cause trouble everywhere! Otherwise, I'll break your fucking legs! "
The group of guards from the Hong Family all shivered and hurriedly agreed. Yet all of them were crying bitterly in their hearts. That's your nephew, yet you don't care about him, so how would we dare care about him? But they didn't dare say these words no matter what.
"Withdraw!" Hong Qiang waved his hand, and the group of guards seemed as if they'd been granted amnesty.
In the room, only an old man that hadn't spoken since the beginning remained.
Hong Qiang looked at the old man, and his attitude finally eased up as he asked. "Mr. Zhao, what do you think about this matter?"
The brows on the old man's forehead raised lightly, and then he raised his head and looked at Hong Qiang as he said, "Because that ruin was discovered recently, our Silken City has started to become slightly restless. Many people have rushed over from all over, and I presume they've come for that place. "
The old man seemed to have given an irrelevant answer, yet Hong Qiang didn't feel it was strange, and he instead looked at the old man and said, "What you mean is that we shouldn't touch that person for now?"
The old man nodded. "At a time like this, it's best to not cause unnecessary trouble. There are truly too many people staring at that ruin. If we were to allow our enemies to seize this opportunity at a time like this, then I'm afraid … "
The old man didn't continue speaking, yet Hong Qiang's expression had become solemn, and his brows knit together as he muttered. "Yeah, a young man at the Congenital Realm swaggered through the city with a spirit pet. Moreover, his combat strength is extremely shocking, and even Hong Yue is actually not a match for him. A Congenital Realm cultivator fighting a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator without any pressure, it's indeed slightly unusual. "
The old man thought for a moment and said, "Even though it's slightly unbelievable, it's not like something like this hasn't happened before. If I'm not wrong, this young man ought to be walking the path of body refinement. Or perhaps, he ought to possess an Innate Physique! "
"What?" Hong Qiang was instantly stunned, and he said with slight shock, "An Innate Physique? This … This is impossible, right? "
The old man said, "Otherwise, there's no reason why Hong Yue wouldn't be a match for him. According to what Hong Feng said earlier, when Hong Yue attacked with a technique, that young man directly used his hand … to block Hong Yue's strike. After that, he fiercely punched Hong Yue flying. If he doesn't walk the path of body refinement, then this doesn't make sense at all! "
Hong Qiang frowned. "Are there any great body refinement sects nearby?"
The old man thought for a moment and shook his head. "We're clearly aware of all the great sects nearby in an area of a few thousand kilometers. They ought to … not be from here. In the Radiant Dimension, there are a few great body refinement sects. If he's really a disciple from one of those sects … "
The corners of the old man's mouth twitched, and he didn't continue speaking.
A wisp of faint fear flashed within Hong Qiang's eyes as well, and he couldn't help but curse. "Bastard! You only know how to cause trouble for me every day! "
Meanwhile, someone reported from outside. It was someone that Hong Qiang had sent to investigate Chu Mo.
"Come in." Hong Qiang's face once again revealed a dignified expression.
"Patriarch, I've investigated clearly. That person just arrived at Silken City today, and he followed a group from the Jin Clan here. They only separated after arriving 5km outside the city." The person that entered went straight to the point.
"Jin Clan?" Hong Qiang's brows frowned even deeper, and his gaze looked towards the old man at the side.
