Chapter 249: Chapter 125: Tian Yuan’s Li Gang, First Battle with Mao Ruxue!_3
In front of these house servants stood a man in a white robe, dressed like a scholar.
This scholar was surrounded by an intense white heavenly aura.
At first glance, it was clear that he was a cultivator who had refined his Literary Qi.
Plus, his cultivation level didn’t seem low.
He might not have reached the fifth stage, but he certainly possessed the third or fourth stages.
These two groups of people were on the verge of battle, their hostility immediately apparent.
Around them, a large crowd had already gathered.
Chen Chang’an walked among the crowd, and after asking an old man beside him, finally understood what was going on.
In summary, this was a dispute that happened at the gate of an auxiliary courtyard of the Jixia Academy, and Lin Qingxue was here to deliver goods.
However, it seemed the goods were not accepted successfully.
The cause of the problem was simple: it appeared that Lin Qingxue’s goods were damaged.
"Miss Lin, I’m really sorry. My father said he doesn’t want your goods," one refined man in the confronting crowd said.
"We apologize for the loss this has caused you."
Hearing this, Lin Qingxue’s brows furrowed.
She looked at the man and said:
"But, Master Li, you entrusted this task to my Lin family in the first place."
"Moreover, my Lin family delivered the goods within the agreed time, but you’ve refused our goods. Isn’t this breaking the rules?"
"Rules? Ha ha." Li Yuan laughed.
"Miss Lin, I’m sorry, but in Saint State City, my Tian Yuan mansion is the rule!"
"So, when I say I’m not accepting, I’m not accepting!"
"Furthermore, Miss Lin, I’ve just remembered that when we entrusted you with the task, we hid something important to my Tian Yuan mansion in your team’s goods."
"However, we didn’t see that thing in the goods you brought back."
"Miss Lin, how do you plan to explain this?"
Upon hearing this, the surrounding people remained silent, but the Lin family’s escorts’ eyes suddenly filled with hatred.
Mao Ruxue was also fuming at the side:
"Hey, you’re really unreasonable."
"Miss Lin went through so much trouble to bring these goods back to Holy City."
"As a result, you rejected them without even a glance and accused her of stealing your things. Is that how you treat people!"
Mao Ruxue was truly furious.
Like this, over the past year following her senior brother Chen Chang’an, she had seldom burst into anger.
But this doesn’t mean she wasn’t angry!
The Lin family almost met a tragic end in the infamous demon-filled Qilian Mountain Range for these goods.
In the end, you just arbitrarily rejected these goods.
The reason you gave was that the goods were damaged.
Who does things like this!
"Master Li, isn’t this inappropriate of you?"
Not only was Mao Ruxue angry, but Li Zhiwan next to her also looked rather displeased.
"Heh, who are you two, wanting to question the decisions of my Tian Yuan mansion?"
Upon hearing Mao Ruxue and Li Zhiwan’s words, Li Yuan immediately laughed coldly:
"Remembering that you two are strangers, clearly newcomers to the Holy City, let me give you some advice."
"This situation is too complex, and not something you two young ladies can handle."
"So, please don’t overstep your place. It won’t be good if you land in my hands."
"And I’ve also heard from my subordinates."
"When this batch of goods was brought into the city, they saw you two mixing in the convoy."
"So I strongly suspect that you two ladies are involved in this theft."
"You...!"
Upon hearing this, Mao Ruxue almost exploded.
This was a threat - a barefaced threat.
If she didn’t need to conceal her identity, she was sure this man would have already been killed by her!
Definitely!
At this point, Chen Chang’an, who had been observing the situation from the side, finally understood what was happening.
This man named Li Yuan, who was the son of the city lord of Saint State City, Li Gang, was absolutely a spoiled brat.
The reason he was causing trouble for the Lin family was because he coveted Lin Qingxue’s beauty and was trying to coerce her into becoming his concubine.
But Lin Qingxue always refused.
And thus, the current situation arose.
You have to say, this was a clichéd plot.
But this was also reality.
Through the chatter of people around him, Chen Chang’an had learned about the true character of this so-called young city lord.
In a nutshell, he was domineering, cruel, and unrestrained!
After all, his father, Li Gang, was a strong Dao Master at the seventh stage.
Given this, who would dare provoke him?
Even outside Saint State City, few would dare provoke him!
In this moment, Chen Chang’an completely understood.
Why Mao Ruxue and the others had been caught up in this dispute.
They must have been reluctant to make a move!
Of course, this was understandable.
Chen Chang’an could see that, aside from the influence of the city lord, Li Gang,
Li Yuan had two Dharma Aspect Great Cultivators at the fourth stage, and an old man who had reached divinity at the fifth stage as his companions.
