"Little girl, don't speak so harshly!" The old man who had been preaching earlier had a gloomy expression as he stared at Shangguan Tong and spoke.
"How have I spoken harshly?" Shangguan Tong's voice was slightly cold. She had wanted to say something, but Shangguan Chen immediately pulled her back and she fell silent.
"I'm sorry, everyone. My family's upbringing was not strict enough. My daughter spoke without thinking and made a fool of herself in front of everyone!" Shangguan Chen cupped his fists and bowed in all directions before apologizing in a very polite manner.
The moment Shangguan Chen apologized, many people's expressions were no longer ugly and had eased up. However, there were still a few people who refused to forgive and were unwilling to give up so easily!
"She's quite a pretty little girl. Why is her mouth so vicious?" A rather plump woman glanced sideways at Shangguan Tong and Shangguan Chen before she snorted coldly. "As expected, children without mothers are so uneducated!"
"No matter how pretty she is, it's a pity that her heart is lacking. She still looks repulsive!" A thin man looked at Shangguan Tong and shook his head as he spoke.
"A girl should speak gently, have a gentle personality, be educated and reasonable, and serve her man well!" An old woman with a meticulous face frowned as she spoke. "A girl like her has a fierce personality and speaks without thinking. She's no different from a village shrew. Who would dare to want her?"
"You …!" Shangguan Tong's expression immediately became extremely furious as she cried out.
However, at this moment!
Over a dozen figures that emitted terrifying heat suddenly appeared in the sky before they descended with a loud bang. They landed in front of everyone as the heatwaves from their bodies surged, causing the surrounding people to continuously retreat.
They were the guards of the Fire Spirit Race who were in charge of guarding Fire Spirit City. They controlled everything in Fire Spirit City, and every single movement in the city could not escape their eyes. They had immediately rushed over when they sensed that there was a conflict here.
"The trading manor is an important place in Fire Spirit City. You are not allowed to make a ruckus here. Otherwise, you will be punished according to the city's rules!" The person in the lead was a middle aged man from the Fire Spirit Race. His eyes were filled with a baleful aura while the heatwaves from him were extremely uncomfortable even from a hundred meters away. He berated everyone in the surroundings.
Fire Spirit City had been established by the Fire Spirit Race, and everything within the city was managed by the Fire Spirit Race. The Fire Spirit Race possessed absolute authority here, whereas, the human race didn't have much authority here.
The surroundings were completely silent. Everyone was as silent as cicadas in winter!
"My Lord, it's not that we want to make a ruckus here. It's just that someone's words are really unpleasant. That's why we're doing this!" The thin man who said that Shangguan Tong had a repulsive face stood out at this moment. He bowed deeply to the middle-aged man from the Fire Spirit Clan with a fawning expression on his face before he spoke.
"Oh?" The middle-aged man from the Fire Spirit Race raised his eyebrows.
"It's that girl girl girl Girl... Woman..... The woman with a rather plump figure also stood out at this moment, and then she glanced at Shangguan Tong. A trace of disgust flashed in her eyes as she reported to the middle-aged man from the Fire Spirit Clan.
"What exactly did she say?" The middle-aged man from the Fire Spirit Race looked at Shangguan Tong and sized her up. A trace of curiosity flashed across his eyes as he spoke.
"My Lord, it's like this …!" The skinny man spoke again. He added some oil to the fire and narrated what had just happened from the beginning to the end.
The middle-aged man from the Fire Spirit Race's face suddenly turned gloomy when he heard the thin man's words. His eyes were filled with hostility as he looked at Shangguan Tong and Shangguan Chen.
"Are the both of you speaking up for Xiao Fan?" The middle-aged man from the Fire Spirit Race placed his hands behind his back as he walked towards Shangguan Tong and Shangguan Chen. At the same time, he spoke with an expressionless face.
Shangguan Tong and Shangguan Chen's faces turned pale as they watched the middle-aged man from the Fire Spirit Race walk towards them with an incomparably powerful aura. They subconsciously gripped each other's arms tightly.
Shangguan Tong and Shangguan Chen had heard a lot about the strength of the Fire Spirit Race during the half a year they had spent in the Qingyun Lower Continent. At this moment, the middle-aged man from the Fire Spirit Race was clearly coming towards them with murderous intent. Great fear immediately rose in their hearts.
"We …!" Shangguan Chen opened his mouth with difficulty and spoke bitterly. He wanted to say something, but under the powerful pressure from the middle-aged man from the Fire Spirit Race, he was unable to say anything. He could only watch the middle-aged man from the Fire Spirit Race walk towards them step by step as death approached.
"Anyone who dares to speak up for Xiao Fan is an enemy of our Fire Spirit Race. Now, you have violated the rules of our Fire Spirit City. According to the rules, you should be beheaded!" The middle-aged man from the Fire Spirit Race looked at Shangguan Tong and Shangguan Chen coldly and said, "Now, die!"
With that, the middle-aged man from the Fire Spirit Race extended his hand mercilessly. He quickly condensed a fiery-red hand in the air and slammed it down heavily towards the two of them.
"Sigh!" Some people could not bear to see Shangguan Tong and Shangguan Chen being slapped to death on the spot. They sighed heavily and turned their heads away.
There were also some people who looked at the skinny man, the rather plump madam, and the meticulous old woman in disdain. A sliver of disgust flashed through their eyes.
There would never be a lack of spineless people in the world!
Due to the strength of the Fire Spirit Race, there were many people in Fire Spirit City and even in the outside world who had completely fallen to the Fire Spirit Race. They had become loyal dogs of the Fire Spirit Race and were willing to do anything for the Fire Spirit Race.
Although the three of them had not completely fallen to the Fire Spirit Race, they were clearly trying to curry favour with the Fire Spirit Race. On the other hand, Shangguan Tong and Shangguan Chen would be killed by the Fire Spirit Race because of their slanderous words.
However!
Bang!
A foot suddenly descended from the sky, and it directly stomped down on the middle-aged man's shoulder. It instantly stomped him to the ground, and he was unable to move at all. On the other hand, his attack instantly dispersed and ceased to exist.
Such a scene immediately stunned everyone in the surroundings. Every single one of them stared at the unfamiliar middle-aged man in black in shock. At that moment, they froze on the spot while their minds went blank.
It was Xiao Fan!
Shangguan Tong was stunned for a moment when she saw Xiao Fan, and then she was instantly pleasantly surprised. She immediately charged over and cried out happily.
Shangguan Chen swiftly recovered from his shock as well, and then he walked over swiftly as well while a trace of a smile appeared in his eyes.
"Xiao Fan!"
Shangguan Tong's words were like an enormous rock that had been smashed into a calm lake, and it instantly caused a mighty uproar and alarmed everyone.
"He's Xiao Fan?" Someone gazed at Xiao Fan with an expression of disbelief.
"Exactly, it's Xiao Fan!" Someone cried out loudly, and his voice carried unconcealable excitement. "I saw Xiao Fan while standing in the crowd in the distance on Skypeak Mountain. It's him!"
"That's right, it's him. When I was in Qinghua Ancient City, I met him once in the crowd!" Someone shouted and confirmed Xiao Fan's identity.
"Xiao Fan!" The old man who had become the focus of everyone's attention and talked about Xiao Fan suddenly turned pale, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably!
Who didn't know about Xiao Fan's ferocious reputation?
He originally thought that it wouldn't be a big deal to say a few words here, but who would have thought that Xiao Fan would be here?
If his words had caused Xiao Fan's displeasure, then with Xiao Fan's ferocious reputation, it wasn't impossible for him to kill him on the spot!
"Why did I speak out of turn?" The old man had already collapsed on the ground powerlessly. His forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his eyes were filled with intense regret.
"Why are the two of you here?" Xiao Fan was stepping on the middle-aged man from the Fire Spirit Clan. He looked at Shangguan Tong and Shangguan Chen who were approaching and asked with a smile.
"It's a long story. To put it simply, we joined a small sect and were sent here by the sect to see if there was any way to buy the Fire Spirit Blaze Grass, a specialty of the Fire Spirit Clan!" Shangguan Chen said helplessly, "I just didn't expect it to turn out like this!"
"Then what do you owe that sect?" Xiao Fan asked.
"We don't owe them anything!" Shangguan Tong looked at Xiao Fan with a smile on her rosy face and said, "We joined that small sect as free agents. We usually work for them, and they provide us with corresponding remuneration. We have an employer-employee relationship. We can be fired at any time and go our separate ways!"
"In that case, come to the Red Chamber!" Xiao Fan immediately smiled, "Actually, I've always wanted to look for the two of you, but I've been suffering from a lack of time. I never expected to be able to meet the two of you today. That really couldn't be any better!"
"Alright!" Shangguan Tong didn't hesitate at all to agree. She smiled like a blooming flower.
Shangguan Chen didn't say anything else. Clearly, he'd agreed as well.
Xiao Fan opened his mouth and wanted to say something. At this moment, a few hundred members of the Fire Spirit Clan who emanated terrifying heat rushed over from afar. They arrived here in an instant, and then they surrounded Xiao Fan's group of three. Every single one of them stared at Xiao Fan with hostile expressions while they drew their weapons.
They were the subordinates of the middle-aged man from the Fire Spirit Clan!
After they saw Xiao Fan appear here and heard of his name, they knew that they weren't a match for him. So, they immediately notified the other members of the Fire Spirit Clan to provide support. After a short exchange of greetings between Xiao Fan, Shangguan Tong, and Shangguan Chen, the reinforcements had arrived.
