"What's wrong with you? I'm eating. I told you I'm just a stranger passing by. Besides, the innkeeper has already confirmed my identity. Why are you still entangled in this aspect? Do you think I'm an outsider who is easy to bully? You know, rabbits will bite when they are cornered. Are you sure you want to do this?"
After Ye Xuan noticed the other party's tone, he knew that they were deliberately picking on him, but he was in a very good mood today and wanted to ignore them. However, the other party was like a dog wrapped in medicine, sticking to him and he couldn't deny it even if he wanted to. At this time, he couldn't help feeling depressed.
Boy, I didn't realize you have such a bad temper. I like people with strong personalities the most. As long as they are in my hands, they will behave themselves. Let's go. I suspect you have something to do with the person in the portrait. Come with us. I advise you not to resist us. The consequences of resisting us will not be good, right?
Seeing that the opponent was not going to take his soft approach, he tried using a tough look. Several other people came over and surrounded him. The situation on the field was precarious at this time.
"Gentlemen, you are my guests. How can I open my shop to do business if you do this? How about this? I don't want the money for the wine and food, but I will give you ten taels of silver each, and that's it. Is that ok?"
The owner of the inn knew very well that if he fought here, he would suffer more than just a small loss, so he directly warned both parties not to be impulsive, as this would ruin everything. However, he obviously did not find the right moment, as the other party had already taken the initiative.
Humph, I think you are really not worth it. I've already talked to you nicely, but you just won't listen to any reason. You can't listen to any good or bad words he says, and you still sit here with a look of indifference on your face. In that case, then why don't you just go to hell?
There was no drawing, no unnecessary movements, until the cold light flashed, and their sword sect's ninth-level peak cultivation was perfectly displayed. Even under their combined attack formation, they exerted the power of masters at the Sword King level .
What a pity, it's still too slow, too slow, can't you go faster, too slow, why is it so slow? Do you want me to give you some pointers?
Ye Xuan, after having a good meal and a few drinks, just wanted to move around and happened to see the scene in front of him. He didn't expect that the other party would start fighting without saying a word. Fortunately, he reacted fully and did not fall for their trick.
"You came just in time. I can use you to verify this. There is a road to heaven, but you don't take it. There is no door to hell, but you insist on breaking in. I don't know what to say to you."
He dodged their attacks with ease, but in the eyes of the other side, he was seen as cowardly and incompetent, which further encouraged their arrogance. However, just as this happened, the sword in his hand shattered with a few clicks.
"Okay, it's really good. Your Excellency's good tricks are really for us to see. I see you take back our words just now. Let's leave this matter and end it like this. How about it?"
In a flash, he used only two fingers to break their weapon, a steel knife made of fine steel, into two parts. Such a simple action was enough to shock them. It was not impossible for them to do it given their level of cultivation, but it was obviously not that easy. The opponent did it as if he was eating or drinking water, with a very simple and calm expression.
"You can doubt me if you want to, arrest me if you want, and release me if you want. Don't you think this is too trifling? Normally, now that I don't agree, shouldn't you compensate me?"
Ye Xuan finally found a reason and an excuse, so he would naturally not let them go easily. At this time, he already had a perfect idea that could be implemented on the spot.
When these words were spoken, the faces of several detectives kept changing, looking extremely ugly as if a fly had been eaten by them.
"Kid, excuse me for disturbing you. I advise you not to do this. We have already given in. Let's all find a way out. Do you really want to force us into a desperate situation? Don't think we are afraid. We just don't want to make things worse."
Seeing that their suggestions did not receive a perfect response, they already had their own ideas. At this time, there was no illegality and they directly got ready to fight to the death.
The innkeeper was deeply moved when he saw how tense the situation was. He didn't know how to persuade both sides, but he was a man with high emotional intelligence after all, so he reacted immediately.
"Gentlemen, our shop is a small business and cannot afford your disturbance. How about this? All the food for today is mine and I will give it to you for free. If you want to fight, kill or make trouble, please go out to eat, okay?"

His attitude was very sincere. After all, some things could not be said clearly just because you wanted to. At the moment, he still had business to do, so naturally he could not argue with them too much, so he changed his mind and directly expressed his thoughts.
Everyone looked over, wondering what they were trying to do. Something was bound to happen in this situation. Surely something was bound to happen?
"Why are you scared now? Don't worry, I won't give you less money!"
Several constables had no intention of taking the money. Instead, as a stranger, he was very generous and handed a stack of silver to the other party.
"Since the boss has opened the door to do business, how can he let you lose money? Don't worry, this is what you deserve, take it!"
Seeing this situation, he didn't know what to say, but he was extremely excited inside. Fortunately, he met a sensible person, otherwise, if he continued to talk like this, he wouldn't know when it would end .
After a series of operations, everyone finally got used to it and didn't say anything. Fortunately, everyone was very clear and understood what needed to be done at this time.
"Why, what's the matter?"
After having a good meal and a good drink, Ye Xuan was very clear about the news he had just heard. He suddenly became interested and disappeared in a flash. The people behind him thought he knew something and followed him.
At this time, even if the detectives were stupid, they could still react and realize that the man in front of them was not someone they could deal with. However, they were in a dilemma and had no choice but to go ahead.
"Boy, our eldest brother has already given in. Are you still going to hold on to him like this? Don't you understand the principle of leaving a way out for others so that we can meet again in the future?"
The other party was also a very understanding person, and knew very clearly what could be done and what could not be done. However, he was used to bullying here, and did not expect to encounter such a situation, and did not know how to start the conversation.
"You need to understand the situation. It's not about what I want to do, but what you want to do. You said it all, and now you know you've hit a wall. What's the point of telling me so much? I'm not afraid. There's no one around now. With so many people, I alone know what you want to do. Will you kill us and leave no trace?"
Ye Xuan, who already had his own special mission, did not want to conflict with these people at the moment, but he insisted on asking them whether they had seen the person in the portrait. In fact, they naturally had not seen him, but it had to be said that this was the most critical moment. God knew whether they would directly kill people, rob the goods and dump the bodies in the wilderness. That was also possible.
Boy, don't talk so much nonsense to us. The suggestions just now are still valid. If you are willing to accept them, then we will just consider it as a pleasant cooperation between us. If you are not willing to accept them, don't blame us for being blind.
They were cautious at the beginning when there were too many people around and they were talking too much. Now they have chased all the way here and came to a very remote place in the sequence. Not many people come to talk about it. Robbers often appear here. They must have already started to act at this time, and all this is just the perfect cover for them.
"Haha, I have to say that you have made a very good calculation. You have gained both the inside and the outside. But you think I will let you go by doing this. Are you overthinking? Again, what do you want to do? You should ask the sword in my hand if it agrees."
Ye Xuan was not at all panicked, but was very calm and composed. Although the development of things up to now had deviated from his expectations, it was still within an acceptable range. Although it was a bit tricky, it could still be accomplished.
It seems that there is nothing to talk about. I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it. What should I say to you? Should I reward you well, or play with you for a while, so that you will know that there are some things that cannot be said or done carelessly?
Several constables had also been through thick and thin . Although they did not understand why people were missing within their jurisdiction, they only suspected that some demons were around. However , they did not dare to make any hasty judgments until the matter was confirmed .
"Boy, you must not lie to us. Do you know what the consequences of lying to us are? You should be very clear about this matter. If it is really as you said, you will naturally benefit from it. If you deceive us in the slightest, your fate will be very embarrassing. I hope you can understand?"
When they received the news, they were very happy. After all, compared with the result of looking for a needle in a haystack, such precise positioning was better. They didn't expect that things would develop as they expected, and they encountered many setbacks along the way.
"My Lords, when have I ever lied to you about this matter? If it wasn't true, I wouldn't have told you. Don't worry, the situation is 100% accurate and the information is reliable."
Just as they received a few messages, they rushed to the nearby area without stopping to find someone to challenge the conclusion, but to no avail. Unexpectedly, they met a strange face. They wanted to establish his prestige with everyone, but ended up hitting a wall, which made it impossible for them to step down.
"Brother, there is no need to waste time talking to him. This kid is very clear in his mind. We should not beat around the bush with him. Since he is so disobedient, don't blame us for not following martial ethics."
"Wait, I told you that this matter has not reached that stage yet. Let's fight for it carefully. The other party is also a reasonable person. We were wrong just now. Can't we admit it? Don't you understand that small details are not important in achieving great things?"
Several of his men wanted to say something, but were interrupted by him. Instead, they adjusted their attitude and tried to persuade them again with kind words. He hoped that everyone would understand that it is better to resolve a feud than to create one. If there is a problem, as long as it is talked out, what is there that cannot be resolved?
"My dear young man, that person just now was someone I know. He was ignorant and offended me. I apologize to you again. I will not give you a chance this time. Can you give us a chance? I know you came with us because you must have something to tell us, otherwise you would not have come."
Their captain rushed over at this time and stopped his men from doing stupid things on impulse. Fortunately, no unpredictable situation occurred.
