Lei Mengsha was the first to wake up, but he was afraid that his boss would ask him for money, so he could only endure the cold and pretend to be asleep.
However, Xie Xuan, who was holding the umbrella, noticed his slight trembling and said directly:
"Young Master Zhuomo, now that you're awake, please get up!"
Upon hearing Xie Xuan's words, Baili Dongjun was overjoyed. He rushed to Lei Er's side, grabbed him from the ground, and shouted, "Second Senior Brother, you're finally awake! I was fucking frozen to death!"
With you and me, we can each carry one back.
Lei Er was startled when he was suddenly pulled up, but he quickly recovered and nodded repeatedly, saying:
"Alright, in that case, let's get started."
As he spoke, he quickly looked around, searching for his target.
Seeing Xiao Ruofeng lying not far away, Lei Er immediately rushed over, picked him up, and muttered:
“I’ll carry this guy.”
Xiao Ruofeng was still asleep when Lei Er's sudden movement startled him awake. He groggily opened his eyes, looked at the open roof above him, and asked with a puzzled expression:
"What happened? How come even the roof is gone?"
Lei Er had just fallen asleep and was equally unaware of his surroundings. He could only look up at Baili Dongjun, hoping to get an answer.
Just as Baili Dongjun was about to lift Liu Yue, seeing this situation, he explained directly:
"After you all drank, Yu Shengmo, the number one expert in the Southern Manual, came to challenge Master to a duel, and that's how things turned out."
"We're a bit better off here, it's farther away. All the houses on that street ahead collapsed, and thousands of people were injured."
Upon hearing Baili Dongjun's words, Xiao Ruofeng suddenly snapped out of his daze and exclaimed in surprise:
"Wow, is this some kind of exaggeration?"
Immediately afterward, he seemed to remember something important and hurriedly called out to Baili Dongjun and Lei Er:
"Quickly wake Liu Yue and the others up, let's run!"
However, just as Xiao Ruofeng finished speaking, the waiter outside walked in and said respectfully:
"Gentlemen, you're finally awake! Please pay today's bill!"
After saying that, the waiter took out a bill from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Ruofeng.
Xiao Ruofeng took the bill with trembling hands and looked at it. It was densely covered with the prices of various damages. The total amount at the end was 250,000 taels of silver!
He immediately clutched his chest, almost unable to breathe, and couldn't help but curse:
"Damn it! Two hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver! This is going to kill me!"
When Lei Er, who was standing to the side, heard Xiao Ruofeng mention 250,000 taels of silver, his eyes widened, and he roared in disbelief:
"How can there be so much? Waiter, how dare you rip off our Eighth Young Master of Bei Li! You have some nerve!"
Hearing Lei Er's words, Xiao Er felt wronged and choked up as he said to Lei Er:
"Sir, if you don't believe me, you can go to the window and take a look."
Upon hearing this, Lei Er immediately strode to the window and looked outside.
When he saw the scene before him clearly, he couldn't help but burst into curses:
"Wow! I clearly remember we were on the fifth floor, how come we're on the second floor now?"
When Xiao Er heard Lei Er's question, he replied with a tearful expression:
"It was indeed on the fifth floor originally, but after all that commotion, the entire building was shaken down to just two floors."
After hearing Xiao Er's explanation, Lei Er was speechless for a moment and did not know how to respond.
He silently turned his head, looked at Xiao Ruofeng beside him, and said:
"Seventh Brother, I'm afraid you'll have to pay for this. When I have the money in the future, I'll definitely repay you double."
Xiao Ruofeng rolled his eyes upon hearing Lei Er's words, muttering to himself:
"You think you can just pluck a chicken's feathers and then pay me back? You're kidding me!"
Nevertheless, he still politely said to the waiter:
"You can come directly to my residence to collect the money later."
Afterwards, the crowd helped Qi Chen, Luo Xuan, and Liu Yue slowly leave Wangchun Tower.
At that moment, Sima Changfeng also arrived at the outskirts of Tianqi City.

Chapter 75: Zhu Qing boasts and tricks the old emperor of Tai'an into kicking the cart.
As Zhu Qing walked towards the Golden Palace in the Northern Li Imperial Palace, his mind raced, contemplating how to recount the failed assassination attempt to Emperor Tai'an.
After all, the Rain Demon's strength was too terrifying. If Zhu Qing had acted rashly at that time, he would have certainly died.
However, this matter must not be reported to Emperor Tai'an truthfully, otherwise it would not only make him appear weak, but also cause his status in Emperor Tai'an's eyes to decline significantly.
When Zhu Qing arrived at the entrance of the Golden Palace, he secretly made up his mind that in order to appear more valuable in front of Emperor Tai'an, he had no choice but to boast.
With a creak, Zhu Qing pushed open the palace door and carefully entered the Golden Palace.
At this moment, Emperor Tai'an was still immersed in the thrilling battle between Yu Shengmo and Li Changsheng, unable to extricate himself from it.
Just then, Emperor Tai'an suddenly heard a slight noise, and he immediately realized that it must be Zhu Qing returning.
He quickly raised his head and asked impatiently:
"Zhuqing, how is the matter progressing?"
Upon hearing Emperor Tai'an's words, Zhu Qing secretly rejoiced that she hadn't said it outright earlier.
Otherwise, given Emperor Tai'an's personality, he certainly wouldn't have been given any important position.
He calmed himself down and began to organize his thoughts, preparing to make a plausible boast.
After thinking for a while, Zhu Qing felt it was about time, and said solemnly:
"Your Majesty, both Yusheng Mo and the High Priest are exceptionally powerful. In a one-on-one fight, I am not confident that I can defeat them. Moreover, their duel did not result in either of them being seriously injured."
Upon hearing Zhu Qing's words, Emperor Tai'an's heart sank, and his face immediately turned grim.
He was already feeling oppressed by Li Changsheng, and now with the appearance of the Rain Demon, it's no wonder he's in a bad mood.
Seeing the grim expression on Emperor Tai'an's face, Zhu Qing knew he would have to brag about it later, so he quickly continued:
“Your Majesty, although I was unable to defeat them, I secretly followed Yu Shengmo after they separated and, taking advantage of his moment of inattention, disguised myself as someone else to ambush and kill him.”
To the servant's surprise, Yu Shengmo still had some strength left.
In order to avoid revealing his identity, the servant had no choice but to fight him.
In the end, the Rain-Born Demon escaped.
However, Your Majesty, rest assured, although Yu Sheng escaped, he was struck by my palm, which severely injured him and damaged his foundation.
Even if he recovers from his injuries, he will no longer be able to become a match for the servant.
Upon hearing Zhu Qing's account, Emperor Tai'an's previously unpleasant expression instantly brightened, and he spoke with a hint of excitement:
"Good! Zhuqing, you did very well this time."
Although it's a bit of a pity that we weren't able to kill Yu Shengmo, it's still good that you were able to weaken his strength.
"Tell me, what do you want as a reward from me?"
Zhu Qing breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Emperor Tai'an looked somewhat excited.
Although he had just boasted, according to the information he received from the Shadow Sect, as long as he did not provoke Yu Shengmo, he would not cause trouble for the Northern Li royal family.
This is why he dares to boast.
Upon hearing Emperor Tai'an's offer of a gift, Zhu Qing quickly declined:
"It is my duty to share Your Majesty's burdens, and I dare not accept any reward."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Tai'an was momentarily at a loss for what to reward Zhu Qing with. After thinking for a moment, he said:
"A reward is definitely in order, how about this!"
Go to the national treasury and choose something you like as your reward this time.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Qing was secretly delighted, but outwardly maintained a respectful demeanor and immediately bowed to express his gratitude.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."
Emperor Tai'an nodded in satisfaction, then waved his hand at Zhu Qing and said:
"You may leave now!" Upon hearing this, Zhu Qing turned and left the Golden Palace without hesitation.
...
Jixia Academy.
In the courtyard on a rainy day.
Yu Shengmo sat quietly in the room, circulating his internal energy to heal his injuries.
Ye Dingzhi stood in the center of the courtyard, holding the Heavenly Cold Sword in his hand, recalling the thrilling battle between Yu Shengmo and Li Changsheng in his mind.
