Shen Yichen said calmly, "The servant that Yunxi bought is to play with Ruoning and Ruoyu."

Bai Ruoan: "..." This Shen family is truly unfathomable.

The group walked and stopped frequently, and as night fell, they finally arrived at Zhiyang City, where the four kingdoms met.

With the Star-Picking Pavilion's recruitment exam approaching, the town is overcrowded, and it's almost impossible to find a place to stay.

Having finally found an inn with vacancies, Shen Yichen was about to negotiate the price with the innkeeper when a fat man with a big head, big ears, a face full of fat, and eyes narrowed into slits walked in and swaggered in, saying, "I want all the remaining rooms!"

A murmur arose around them, and Shen Yunxi learned from the discussion that the man was Zhang Youzhi, the eldest son of a certain family in Nanchen Kingdom. He was arrogant and domineering because his family had a lot of money.

Shen Yichen frowned slightly, his tone cold and hard: "We arrived first."

Zhang Youzhi glanced at him disdainfully: "So what? Money talks, you know?"

Bai Ruoan said expressionlessly, "Shopkeeper, three times the price."

Elder Xuanqing gave him enough money to squander on this long journey.

Zhang Youzhi's expression changed, and he glared fiercely at Bai Ruoan: "You dare to compete with me? Four times the price!"

The shopkeeper beamed with delight, his eyes gleaming, wishing they would raise the price even higher.

Just as Bai Ruoan was about to speak, Di Xuanshang suddenly made a move, using spiritual power to throw Zhang Youzhi away like trash.

With a loud "bang!", Zhang Youzhi's obese body crashed heavily to the ground, like a flattened toad.

Shen Yunxi: "!!!!"

That looks kind of cool!

Bai Ruoan: "!!!"

So direct?

Shen Yichen: "!!!"

Junlan, well done!

Everyone: "!!!"

Di Xuanshang walked up to the innkeeper and tossed down a large bag of spirit stones: "We've booked the room."

The Zhang family disciples who had recovered from their shock drew their swords and roared, "Where did this fool come from, daring to disrespect our young master!"

The commotion inside the inn quickly attracted the attention of people outside, and more and more people gathered to watch, most of whom were there to participate in the Star-Picking Pavilion's recruitment exam.

They would love for these people to fight each other, preferably killing or injuring a few, so that they would have fewer competitors.

Di Xuanshang and Zhiyan flashed to Shen Yunxi's side and shielded her behind them.

In the tense atmosphere, someone in the crowd suddenly recognized the insignia on Shen Yunxi and her group's clothing and exclaimed, "That's the insignia of the Shen family of Beiyuan! They're from Beiyuan Kingdom!"

Beiyuan has a bad reputation among the four kingdoms, especially in the wealthy Dongyue Kingdom, where it is regarded as a barbaric land, and the people of Beiyuan are labeled as "savage" and "unreasonable".

Zhang Youzhi was already furious after being thrown out. Hearing the surrounding chatter, he immediately clung to it like a lifeline, clutching his stomach and groaning on the ground: "Ouch, it hurts so much! These Beiyuan people are bullying us! Everyone, look at them! They're taking advantage of their numbers to steal our rooms and even beat us up!"

Zhang Youzhi was originally from the Dongyue Kingdom and was quite well-known in Zhiyang City. When he shouted this, many people recognized him. Coupled with the claim that "the Beiyuan people are bullying the Dongyue Kingdom," it instantly ignited the anger of the people around him.

"The people of Beiyuan are truly barbaric! How dare they run wild on Nanqi's territory!"
