Chapter 2912 - 2913: Shameless Beyond Measure!
Chapter 2912: Chapter 2913: Shameless Beyond Measure!
No matter how deep this man’s cunning is, faced with Ren Ning’s imposing words and aggressive gaze, he couldn’t quite hold his ground and involuntarily took half a step back.
But he immediately reacted and felt ashamed of his performance.
He was actually scared by a little girl, which was truly intolerable.
So, he took a deep breath and spoke with mockery.
"Ren Ning, your words are really interesting. We just came to ask for compensation, when did we drive you away? On the contrary, it’s you being unreasonable and aggressive, truly laughable!"
Ren Ning’s eyes burned with fire, and she didn’t respond to his words at all, standing silently at the inn’s entrance with the imposing aura of a warrior defending a pass single-handedly.
Because Ren Ning knew very well that she had to be strong at this moment.
Even if she showed a little weakness, these guys would pounce like hungry wolves and tear her to pieces.
The situation then descended into a standoff.
But Sheng Hongqian quickly noticed something was wrong because more and more people were gathering outside the door.
Moreover, they were mainly from the Great Academies of Xihua City, which obviously was not a good sign.
The biggest possibility was that these academies in Xihua City had already reached a private agreement; otherwise, they wouldn’t dare be so blatant.
Sheng Hongqian was extremely anxious.
Ren Ning naturally also noticed this, but she showed no sign of fear, simply watching these newcomers coldly, as if she wanted to engrave their features in her memory.
At this point, the situation was already at the brink of explosion; the man, seeing that "the general situation was set," couldn’t help but feel more confident and spoke condescendingly.
"Ren Ning, you see, people from all major academies in the city have come to demand an explanation from you, what else do you have to say?"
"I only have four words to give you: shameless to the extreme!" Ren Ning retorted unceremoniously.
The man’s face instantly turned red, "A sharp-tongued little girl, your master recklessly destroyed the accumulation of countless academies, ultimately leading to this angry crowd; it’s all your own fault, blame no one else!"
Saying this, the man pointed a finger, "Everyone, what’s the use of keeping such ungrateful people, driving them out of Xihua City is only right!"
The words incited a thousand waves, and the crowd immediately began to respond.
"That’s right, drive them out!"
"I say it would be too easy to drive them out; isn’t this little girl the disciple of that Xue? Grab her to atone for her master!"
The shouting rang out one after another.
The look of triumph on the man’s face grew stronger.
Sheng Hongqian silently stepped forward, standing next to Ren Ning.
Not only her, but Niu Dali, Zhang Xiaoqiang, Fu Yuanfeng, and Zhuo Benzheng all stepped forward, making their stance clear through their actions.
And the people from these academies couldn’t hold back anymore and started to charge forward, the conflict seemed on the verge of breaking out.
But just then, a cold shout came from the distant sky.
"Stop all of you!"
With the words, several figures flew into the scene and landed right between both sides.
"It’s Lu Hui!"
"Members of the Qisi Poetry Society are here!"
That’s right!
The arrivals were indeed Lu Hui, the senior brother of the Qisi Poetry Society.
At the sight of him, the man who was originally full of satisfaction instantly had a somber expression.
Because he knew well how formidable Lu Hui was.
Back when he wanted to unite the major academies for this cause, the first door he knocked on was Qisi Poetry Society.
Because everyone knew Xue An had blown up the headquarters of the Qisi Poetry Society.
And before leaving, he even took away a woman from the Qisi Poetry Society.
So in the man’s view, Qisi Poetry Society must hate Xue An the most.
But he unexpectedly received a closed door without even seeing Lu Hui’s face.
Moreover, the attitude of the Qisi Poetry Society was very clear; these matters should not be mentioned again in the future.
This attitude greatly surprised the man; after several attempts, he ultimately found no success.
With no other choice, he had to give up on Qisi Poetry Society and turn to start contacting other academies.
So when he saw Lu Hui arrive neither early nor late, but precisely at this moment, his heart couldn’t help but skip a beat.
Nevertheless, he showed no sign of this on the surface, instead putting on a hint of a smile.
"President Lu, you are here!"
Lu Hui gave this man a deep look, finally sighing softly, "Kou Cangfeng, I say, let this matter go, the losses your academies suffered can be borne by our Qisi Poetry Society, what do you think?"
Kou Cangfeng!
Upon hearing this name, Sheng Hongqian was startled, then thought of something, her face turning more gloomy.
She clearly remembered that the one who instigated the major academies to seek justice was called Kou Zhengfeng.
The names of these two were so similar, it’s hard to say there’s no relation between them.
In fact, not only did she think of this, but anyone with a bit of brain realized something was amiss.
Only Ren Ning remained calm, without a hint of surprise.
She had made up her mind, even if the emperor himself came today, he wouldn’t take a single step into this Xiyue Inn.
Not for her own pride, but to preserve her master’s dignity.
Meanwhile, upon hearing Lu Hui’s proposal, Kou Cangfeng was first stunned, then burst out laughing.
"Good! Such a uniquely righteous President Lu, your own headquarters was bombed by someone, yet instead of hatred, you turn around and clean up after them! I truly admire you, Kou!"
These words were quite unpleasant, causing Tang Zheng, who accompanied Lu Hui, to change his face and want to speak.
Lu Hui stopped him with a hand, then said calmly to Kou Cangfeng, "The way we at Qisi Poetry Society conduct ourselves doesn’t require your commentary; I’m simply advising you to withdraw sooner, as it’s beneficial for you and everyone else!"
"What if I refuse?" Kou Cangfeng said sinisterly.
"I know you are all afraid of that Xue An, scared out of your wits by him, but while you may fear him, I don’t. I came here today to get an explanation, how could I be persuaded by a few words from you?"
"Then what kind of explanation do you want?" Lu Hui asked.
"Very simple!" Kou Cangfeng pointed at Ren Ning and others, "Make them pay adequate compensation, then get out of Xihua City!"
Niu Dali burned with anger, "Try pointing again and see if I don’t twist your head off!"
Kou Cangfeng completely ignored Niu Dali’s shouting, just looking at Lu Hui coldly.
"I don’t think my demand is excessive, is it?"
Lu Hui suddenly smiled, "Whether it’s excessive or not is not for me to say, I just don’t want things to escalate, since you insist on doing this, I can only let you do as you please!"
Saying this, Lu Hui stepped back, taking on an uninvolved stance.
This move greatly exceeded Kou Cangfeng’s expectations.
He originally thought that Lu Hui would strongly intervene, yet he didn’t expect him to give up so quickly.
