Chapter 70 A Little Joke
Xianzui Inn, second floor.
At this moment, confusion filled the shopkeeper's expression.
Especially upon seeing the Sect Master Xuanqing hugging his leg, the confusion deepened even further.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Was this the one hugging his leg, the legendary Sect Master Tianqing?
The legendary figure at the Nascent Soul Realm Peak, now embracing his leg?
No, no!
This wasn't the main point.
The focus should be on this young man.
He came on behalf of his respected master to deal with the matter of Sect Master Tianqing freeloading at his inn?
Was there such an incident?
No, no!
Suddenly, the shopkeeper remembered something, and his body shook violently.
His mind involuntarily recalled the person who was evidently at the Nascent Soul Realm but always freeloaded at his inn.
Last time, to cover up a lie, he casually mentioned that someone from Tianqing Sect freeloading at his inn.
That person also said he would stand up for him and send a disciple to deal with the matter.
At that time, the shopkeeper didn't believe it, thinking it was just an idle remark.
And now this scene...
The shopkeeper sneaked a glance at Ye Luo, who stood beside him like a god of death.
Then, he looked at Sect Master Xuanqing, who was still hugging his leg, trembling all over.
"Esteemed sir, may I ask... may I inquire if your revered master is often dressed in white, handsome in appearance, with the demeanor of an immortal?"
The shopkeeper cautiously asked.
"Indeed,"
Ye Luo nodded in response.
But his tone sounded somewhat strange.
There was something off about this shopkeeper.
Wasn't it said that he and the Respected Master were old acquaintances?
Why couldn't he even remember which one was his Respected Master?
Upon hearing this.
The shopkeeper was dumbfounded.
It really was that person.
I…
This…
He…
You…
The shopkeeper truly didn't know what to say.
He had only intended to cover a lie with another lie.
He had thought that freeloader was just bluffing.
He never expected them to actually send a disciple down the mountain and even capture Sect Master Tianqing.
Looking at Sect Master Tianqing's expression, the abilities of this disciple might indeed reach the heavens.
This...
The shopkeeper felt a headache coming on.
The Sect Master Xuanqing, still hugging the shopkeeper's leg, continued to ramble on.
"I really didn't freeload!! Shopkeeper, look carefully, have you ever seen me before?!"
"Shopkeeper, you must clear my name!"
Sect Master Xuanqing's voice was choked with emotion.
"Ahem, get up first, get up first,"
The shopkeeper felt his scalp tingling.
He tried to help Sect Master Xuanqing up first.
"No! I really didn't freeload! Shopkeeper, you must clear my innocence..."
Sect Master Xuanqing refused to get up, clinging desperately to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper felt helpless.
Standing by, Ye Luo suddenly looked up, his eyes flashing with sharp Sword Qi, staring at Sect Master Xuanqing.
"Stand up, let's discuss compensation properly, and don't make me have to talk to you personally,"
Ye Luo said coldly.
Under the deathly gaze of Ye Luo.
Sect Master Xuanqing finally, with a dejected face, let go of the shopkeeper's leg and stood up.
"Alright, you two, discuss how to handle the compensation. If Mr. Shopkeeper isn't satisfied, then Sect Master Xuanqing, you'd better think carefully about the consequences,"
Ye Luo spoke slowly.
After finishing his words.
He walked over to a table and sat down.
His aura remained unyielding, firmly locking onto Sect Master Xuanqing to prevent any sudden outbursts.
"This..."
With a distressed look, the shopkeeper wanted to say something.
He hadn't even begun to speak.
When Sect Master Xuanqing interrupted him.
"Shopkeeper! Really! Neither of us have seen each other before, right? This is our first meeting, right? I really haven't freeloaded, you must clear my name!"
Sect Master Xuanqing's voice trembled as he spoke.
"Wait, wait, just let me explain,"
the shopkeeper coughed twice, gesturing for Sect Master Xuanqing to keep quiet for a moment.
Sect Master Xuanqing still wanted to say something.
But with a glare from Ye Luo, he dared not speak.
Standing to the side, the shopkeeper pondered for a moment.
He looked at Ye Luo, then at Sect Master Xuanqing.
"Ahem, you see, the truth is, the Sect Master of Tianqing Sect has never dined and dashed in our inn. In fact, we have never even met before,"
"The reason for this scene is just a little joke between me and that great one's Respected Master; it was all in good fun, just in good fun,"
the shopkeeper said cautiously.
As his words fell silent,
the room became quiet.
Ye Luo's eyes widened in astonishment.
He was rather composed, not too exaggerated.
The Sect Master Xuanqing, on the other hand, was a sight, his face showing a maniacal expression.
"Look, you see! I really didn't freeload!!"

"I really didn't freelo..."
Mid-madness,
Sect Master Xuanqing abruptly stopped.
Wait a minute.
What's that?
Did the shopkeeper just say it was all a little joke?
A little joke that got the entire Tianqing Sect involved?
A little joke that left the whole Tianqing Sect in shambles?
A little joke that shook his seat as Sect Master and got him labeled as a freeloader?
I'll be damned...
Sect Master Xuanqing became furious, glaring at the shopkeeper, wishing he could tear him to shreds.
"You dare mess with my master's old friends? Believe it or not, I'll smash your Tianqing Sect all over again,"
Ye Luo's indifferent voice slowly rang out.
Remembering the scene of sword qi filling the sky at Tianqing Sect, Sect Master Xuanqing shivered and quickly bowed his head, not daring to speak.
Watching this scene,
Ye Luo fell silent too.
If this matter was a mistake,
how would he account for wrecking the entire Tianqing Sect?
At the time, he just wanted to test his strength, unleashing the formidable power of the Endless Sword Gourd; one slash and myriad sword qis descended.
At least half of Tianqing Sect was gone...
Was he supposed to compensate for that??
Ye Luo silently tallied up his possessions.
Treasure, the Endless Sword Gourd.
Clothes, of the mortal realm.
Divine Spells, self-comprehended.
He seemed to be broke.
Ask his Respected Master to pay?
No way!
That would ruin his image in his master's eyes.
Ask this shopkeeper to pay?
Ye Luo glanced at the shopkeeper without drawing attention.
Forget it; how much could a mortal have?
Or maybe, just owe it for now?
Let's just owe it for now!
With this thought, Ye Luo casually stood up and touched his nose.
"So, Sect Master Xuanqing, um... this has been a misunderstanding."
"However, I accidentally smashed your Sect, and I don't have any money on me right now. How about I owe you and pay you back next time?"
"What do you think?"
Ye Luo said rather helplessly.
Standing aside, Sect Master Xuanqing almost spat out a mouthful of old blood when he heard these words.
His Sect had been smashed to bits, and he had been wrongfully called a freeloader.
And now, just like that, a simple 'I owe you' is supposed to settle everything?!
Sect Master Xuanqing wanted to say something,
but looking at the gourd on Ye Luo's waist, he suddenly didn't dare to speak again.
Your gourd is big, so you must be right...
