After traveling through time, the four best friends were all targeted by the boss

Xu Zheng laughed out loud: "Hey, you're leaving now. I thought you were so capable."

The waiter waved his arms, wanting to cover her mouth but not daring to.

"Miss, please stop talking. Recently, the Xiaoyao Sect has become more and more powerful and has already been ranked among the top sects."

Ah Yan, who was standing behind him, heard this, sneered, and said nothing.

Xu Zheng rolled her eyes. It would all be gone in a few days, so why should she be afraid of him?

After the little episode, the storyteller also walked onto the stage. Xu Zheng immediately put what had just happened behind her and pulled A'yan to sit down and listen to the story.

As luck would have it, the second in command of the Xiaoyao Sect was sitting opposite them. Xu Zheng squinted and took a look. The two or three young masters who were sitting there walked out dejectedly.

Xu Zheng slammed his fist on the table, and the plate on it made a crisp sound.

"What's wrong with the people from the Xiaoyao Sect? They take advantage of the fact that they have something behind them to bully the weak, right?" Xu Zheng said.

Ah Yan was very calm, "They will get their retribution in a few days."

Xu Zheng let out a breath, leaned back in her chair, and crossed her legs.

"That's good. A sect like this should have been destroyed long ago," she said.

A'Yan glanced at her out of the corner of his eye. She was sitting casually, taking a few bites of snacks from time to time, and was very high-profile and free.

I didn't expect the host to like this kind of girl. Ah Yan couldn't help but think.

The storyteller below was wearing a gray cloth robe, a hat on his head, and holding a paper folding fan in his hand.

He stroked his beard and said loudly, "Today I won't tell you about books. Today I will tell you about strange stories in the martial arts world."

When Xu Zheng heard this, she immediately became interested.

The storyteller continued, "Everyone should know that there is a mountain between Xiaoyao City and Ziyang City called Wushan, right?"

Xu Zheng raised her eyebrows: This person actually wants to talk about Wushan. Let's listen to see if there is any useful information.

Xiao Ruiniang, who was sitting opposite them, supported her forehead with one hand and fiddled with the teacup in front of her with the other hand. Her mind was completely not on the content of the story.

"There are many famous rare herbs on Wushan Mountain. I believe that the medicines that everyone here drinks are all picked from Wushan Mountain."

"Originally, this Wushan Mountain was fine, and nothing happened. But just a month ago, everyone who entered the Wushan Mountain mysteriously disappeared!"

The storyteller's expression was very exaggerated, and the people below were also moved by him and started talking about it.

"Hey, this is strange. The bodies of those people cannot be found. Someone who passed by that path said that a large area of ​​fog would appear on that road at dawn and dusk. Those people disappeared in the fog!"

"Is there a ghost?" the man shouted.

The storyteller put away his fan with a snap, shook his head pretentiously, and said, "No, no, no, this matter of Wushan is caused by human beings!"

"I guess everyone has heard of the Soul-Devouring Hall and the Universal Tower?" he asked.

The man curled his lips and said, "Who hasn't heard of this? Two of the four most powerful sects in the martial arts world!"

"That's right, you've heard of it!" The storyteller shook his sleeves.

The more Xu Zheng listened, the more she felt something was wrong. Were these two people playing a double act with her?

"I heard that the incident at Wushan was caused by these two sects!" As soon as the storyteller said this, there was an uproar in the audience.

Xu Zheng immediately became unable to sit still. She slammed the table and was about to shout out loud, but Ah Yan stopped her in time and shook his head slightly at her.

Xu Zheng frowned, afraid of causing trouble for Pei Xuanxi, so she had to suppress her anger.

Seeing her reaction, Xiao Ruiniang on the opposite side couldn't help but feel curious about her background.

"You, come here." She turned her head and waved her finger backwards, "Go check her out for me."

The man nodded: "Yes."

The storyteller below was getting more excited: "One day, someone found a hidden weapon from the Wanxiang Tower! Tell me, how could this be a coincidence? How could there be hidden weapons in the deep mountains and old forests?"

Xiao Rui Niang looked at the sturdy man. The man walked forward and almost everyone below could see him. "Maybe it was Wanxianglou who did it! Such a big sect actually did this kind of thing for some herbs."

He glanced around and saw that everyone inside was looking at him. He continued to shout, "And the Pei family is behind this Wanxiang Building! You can imagine how rampant they are! I heard that the owner of this Wanxiang Building is a gigolo who is only over 20 years old. How can he be worthy of a cabinet position!"

After hearing what he said, almost everyone below started talking.

Most of the people who come here to listen to stories are young men and scholars, who usually love to talk a lot. From their mouths, even the Jade Emperor would be criticized.

Xu Zheng was so angry that her eyes turned red. Not only did she spread rumors in public, but she even dared to say that Pei Xuanxi was unworthy of his position. She was simply courting death.

She couldn't bear it any longer, so she stood up and walked outside. Suddenly she found that the view here was excellent and she could see everyone in the hall.

"You dead pig, what are you talking about!" Xu Zheng pointed at the big man opposite and cursed.

Zhu Dun was suddenly scolded and almost couldn't react. He was stunned for a moment.

Xu Zheng continued, "Who do you think you are? You know nothing! How dare you criticize Pei Xuanxi? You have a pig face, and you are still here to attract attention? Aren't you ashamed!"

"You!" Zhu Cong was so confused after being scolded. The woman opposite him was even more aggressive than his second in command.

He was so angry that he almost flew over to find her, but was stopped by Xiao Ruiniang.

"From what the girl said, you are very familiar with the Pei family?"

Fortunately, Xu Zheng was not so angry that she lost her mind. She sneered and shouted, "It's none of your business!"

Xiao Ruiniang's fair face suddenly turned pale. It was the first time that someone spoke to her like this, and the other person was just a young girl.

"Who do you think you are, Xiaoyao Sect? You just spread rumors everywhere. If you have the guts, confront Wanxiang Tower head-on!" Xu Zheng shouted again.

Her voice was so loud that it echoed in the hall. People below looked at Xiao Ruiniang one after another. They didn't expect that she was from the Xiaoyao Sect.

The Xiaoyao Sect has been thriving in Xiaoyao City recently. Even the local officials have to listen to them. They have even started collecting protection fees privately, and the people below them can only be angry but not say anything.

Xu Zheng also saw the mystery. She clapped her hands and pointed at Xiao Ruiniang.

"I understand. You Xiaoyao Sect are afraid that Wanxiang Tower will suppress you, so you spread rumors here so that they can target Wanxiang Tower and you can continue to dominate Xiaoyao City, right?"

After hearing Xu Zheng's words, the smart people below nodded in agreement.

They don’t know whether Wanxiang Building is the mastermind behind the Wushan Incident, but it is a foregone conclusion that the Xiaoyao Sect is the overlord in the city!

They couldn't help but start talking, and some of the brave ones even pointed fingers at Xiao Ruiniang from time to time.

When Xiao Ruiniang saw the situation turn out like this, she stood up with a somewhat ferocious expression.

"We will meet again!"

Xu Zheng raised her middle finger: "Don't beg for mercy when the time comes."

Xiao Ruiniang was so angry that she was shaking. She threw away her sleeves and left with Zhu Dun and his group.

When Xu Zheng saw that the person was scolded away by her, her anger subsided. She glanced at the stage below and saw that the storyteller was nowhere to be seen!

"Ah Yan, that storyteller is probably in cahoots with them, should we catch him?"

Ah Yan's expression was still serious. He nodded and said, "We must catch him, but not now."

Xu Zheng sat down and suddenly felt a little impulsive: "What should I do? Was I just... too impulsive? Will it expose Pei Xuanxi's plan?"

Seeing Xu Zheng's somewhat anxious eyes, Ah Yan shook his head and could only comfort her awkwardly: "No, the host will arrange things well, and our plan is going smoothly."

Xu Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, I was scared to death."

After experiencing such a thing, Xu Zheng was no longer in the mood to watch the show. She jogged all the way, wanting to quickly tell Pei Xuanxi what happened today.

As they were walking, Ah Yan suddenly grabbed her shoulders.

"What's wrong?" Xu Zheng turned her head and asked.

Ah Yan's eyes were particularly cold and stern: "Someone is following us, Miss Xu, go to the front and wait for me, I will deal with it."

Xu Zheng shook her head: "I'll go too!"

Ah Yan held the hilt of the sword and said, "Miss Xu, don't be willful. If you get hurt, the host will not forgive me."

Xu Zheng was stunned and had to give up: "Okay, I'll wait for you over there."
