The master is inhuman; he beat up his senior brother, destroyed the sect, and then left.

Chapter 138 Wang Moran

Wang Moran, quick-witted, instantly realized that a stalemate was pointless. Although there were few guests on the second floor, those who did ascend were all of extraordinary status, and such a stalemate might damage the reputation of Jubaozhai.

He made a firm decision and decided to give the armor to Han Yi.

He stood up, his expression resolute, and said to Han Yi, "Young master, this armor is offered as an apology from Jubaozhai, and will be given to you free of charge."

After speaking, he raised his hand and beckoned lightly. A servant in the distance hurriedly brought out the armor and respectfully placed it in front of Han Yi.

Han Yi remained calm, his gaze shifting from Wang Moran to the battle armor.

Wang Moran stared intently at Han Yi, filled with trepidation, unable to fathom his reaction.

Several people watched from all sides, and seeing the usually highly respected Elder Wang so humble towards a young man, they all fell silent.

At this moment, it seemed that only Han Yi and his armor remained on the second floor of Jubaozhai, becoming the focus of everyone's attention.

Han Yi remained silent for a moment, then slowly reached out and gently stroked the surface of the armor. The cool, hard texture was indeed very suitable for Su Yao.

He looked up at Wang Moran, nodded slightly, and accepted the "gift".

Wang Moran secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and a relieved smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

As Han Yi withdrew his oppressive aura, the woman managed to stand up, her figure still swaying slightly, and her face still pale.

At this moment, she was no longer as arrogant as before, but her eyes still held a resentful and venomous look as she stared intently at Han Yi in front of her.

The next second, Tuoba Xun'er stepped on the woman and drew her sword to cut off her head.

"Please, sir, have mercy!" Wang Moran pleaded again.

"Release her!" Han Yi said calmly. Such a person posed no threat to him, so releasing her would not be a problem.

Seeing this, Wang Moran sighed inwardly, then put on a smile and bowed slightly to Han Yi, saying, "Today, I, Jubaozhai, have truly failed to provide adequate hospitality. Please, esteemed guest, move to the third floor for tea. I will certainly do my best to express my gratitude."

They said they were going to have tea, but their real intention was to ease the tension between Jubaozhai and this young man; if they could win him over, that would be even better.

However, Han Yi merely glanced at him coldly and directly refused, saying, "No need."

His voice was icy cold, leaving no room for negotiation.

What happened today made Han Yi very disgusted with Jubaozhai. He felt that the people there were obsequious and bullying.

He said nothing more, turned around and led Su Yao and the others downstairs, completely ignoring Wang Moran's slightly embarrassed and anxious attempts to stop him.

Han Yi and the others had already gone downstairs. Wang Moran stood there, watching Han Yi's departing figure, a look of helplessness and regret on his face.

He knew that Jubaozhai had already left a bad impression on this mysterious young man. As he pondered how to salvage the situation, the woman spoke up at an inopportune moment.

"Grandpa Wang, you are a super strong person with the strength of the Nascent Soul stage. Why are you so subservient to a young man?"

Wang Moran frowned, turned his head and glared fiercely at the woman, then reprimanded her in a low voice.

"Grandniece, let me give you a piece of advice: when facing a strong opponent who is no match for you, put away your anger. It will only make you die faster!"

The woman was startled by Wang Moran's gaze and words, but she still muttered defiantly, "Your Jubaozhai may be afraid of offending him, but I'm not. I will definitely get my revenge for today's humiliation!"

Wang Moran was so angry that his face turned pale. If it weren't for this stupid woman, Jubao Pavilion wouldn't have gotten into a grudge with that mysterious young man. However, due to the power behind the woman, he couldn't do anything about it and could only sigh heavily.

“Grandniece, out of respect for your grandfather, I advise you not to provoke that person. Qingmu City is full of hidden talents these days, and there are some people we cannot easily mess with.” After saying this, Wang Moran turned and walked towards the inner hall, leaving the woman standing there with a displeased expression.

"What a waste of his Nascent Soul Realm strength. You may be afraid of him, but I am not. Just wait and see."

This woman was indeed of noble birth; she was Liu Sisi, the daughter of Liu Shang, the city lord of Qingmu City, and she was used to being arrogant and domineering because of her status.

Liu Sisi stormed back to the city lord's mansion, ran all the way to the old ancestor Liu Wujing, pouted her little mouth, and burst into tears.

"Grandpa, you must do justice for Sisi!" Liu Sisi cried out.

Liu Wujing looked at his granddaughter with heartache and quickly comforted her, "Sisi, be good, don't cry, tell Grandpa what happened? Who bullied you?"

Liu Sisi choked up and said, "Grandpa, I met a hateful young man at Jubaozhai today. He was so fierce and embarrassed me in front of everyone. He bullied me just because he was stronger than me. If it weren't for Grandpa Wang's help, I probably wouldn't be back today."

Upon hearing this, Liu Wujing frowned immediately. "Is that so? Sisi, tell Grandpa in detail."

Liu Sisi's eyes darted around, and she began to exaggerate her complaints: "Grandpa, that guy is so arrogant. He doesn't take Jubaozhai seriously at all because he has some strength. He's also very rude to Grandpa Wang. Sisi only said a few words to him, and he attacked me. If Grandpa Wang hadn't intervened, I don't know what he would have done to me."

"Grandpa, you must stand up for Sisi! We can't let this outsider be so arrogant and domineering in Qingmu City."

Upon hearing this, Liu Wujing slammed his hand on the table in anger and shouted, "Outrageous! How dare a mere brat run wild in my Qingmu City and bully my precious granddaughter! I will never let him get away with this!" Liu Sisi shook her head. "Grandpa, he seems very powerful. Why don't we just let it go? It's fine if Sisi suffers a little grievance."

Liu Wujing snorted coldly, "So what if he's powerful? In Qingmu City, he has no right to be so presumptuous! I want to see just how capable he is, daring to bully my grandson!"

Upon hearing her grandfather's words, Liu Sisi was secretly delighted and continued to fan the flames, saying, "Grandpa, that guy is really awful. You must teach him a lesson and let him know who's in charge in Qingmu City."

A ruthless glint flashed in Liu Wujing's eyes. "Don't worry, Sisi, Grandpa will definitely avenge you."
