Chapter 208 Settling Old scores
In order to save time, they did not stop along the way. When they arrived in Haicheng, the Su family's ship had not yet docked. So Yunzhi suggested that they go for a walk first. She had been in Nanzhou for less than a month and was curious about everything.
This main city is relatively far from the Western Continent and is less affected by the demons. The city is still as lively as before.
Jiang Qiao wanted to go to the auction house, and Yun Zhi was also interested. After all, it was an auction house in the Southern Continent, and perhaps there would be something she wanted.
Ye Lan also wanted to sell pills to exchange for spirit stones, so the group discussed it and headed towards the auction house.
Sanshengxuan was as magnificent as ever. Jiang Ning asked his senior brother Jiang Qiao to take Yun Zhi for a stroll first, while he and Ye Lan went to find a maid to reveal their identities as sellers.
Time was of the essence, so they didn't wait for the pill auction to get the spirit stones. Instead, they sold them directly to the auction house and went to meet Yun Zhi. However, they unexpectedly ran into an "acquaintance" on the way. Jiang Ning's eyes suddenly darkened, and Ye Lan's aura also turned cold.
They were supposed to be "acquaintances," but they had never actually met each other. They had only briefly seen each other once before at the entrance, and later inadvertently became enemies.
This "familiar face" was none other than Bei Gong Lingtian. Leng Ning Shuang was no longer by his side; instead, a man in black had taken her place.
After the incident at the Tibetan Incense Academy, they asked Su Bo to have the Su family help them find out why Wanwan and the others were so hostile towards Ye Lan, even deliberately setting a trap, even though they had never met before.
With a little money, one could easily find out about such places of ill repute. The Su family didn't have to exert much effort; they followed the clues all the way to Young Master Beigong.
At that time, they were worried that it would be difficult to make a move on someone else's territory, so they planned to find an opportunity to take revenge later. Unexpectedly, Bei Gong Lingtian has now delivered himself to their doorstep.
The two exchanged a glance, knowing that the other had the same plan. So Jiang Ning quietly followed Bei Gong Lingtian out of the Sansheng Pavilion, while Ye Lan went to find Yun Zhi to borrow an invisibility artifact.
Bei Gong Lingtian came to Haicheng again after hearing that demons had appeared in the Southern Continent, but he didn't encounter a single demon. Haicheng was in a similar situation to when he first came.
Feeling bored, he decided to visit Sanshengxuan to buy some things. This time, he brought enough spirit stones to avoid a repeat of the last situation.
As a result of the demons' influence, it seemed that all the sellers from all over the country had disappeared. He didn't buy many good things today and is now leaving Sanshengxuan with a disappointed look, turning around and going to the teahouse across the street.
"Young Master, someone is following us."
The man in black spotted Jiang Ning as he caught up and immediately reported the news to Bei Gong Lingtian. Bei Gong Lingtian glanced back at Jiang Ning and realized he didn't recognize the man.
Jiang Ning made no move, his expression was natural, and his gaze never fell on him from beginning to end, as if he really just happened to be there for tea. After Bei Gong Lingtian and the others entered the private room, he also went into the next private room.
Bei Gong Lingtian dismissed the waiter, poured himself a cup of tea, and said to the person next to him, "Go and find out who this is."
The man acknowledged the order: "Yes!"
The man in black had just stepped out of the private room and hadn't even had time to close the door when he felt something swiftly dart behind his clothes. The thing was as cold as ice, so he quickly turned around to check.
Long Li shrunk its size to the size of a loach. It slithered inside the man's clothes, and for a while, the man in black really couldn't catch it.
Bei Gong Lingtian frowned as he looked towards the door, his expression seemingly showing some disdain.
Leng Ningke is not as reliable as his sister. He shouldn't have told his father to change his attendants out of spite.
Just as Bei Gong Lingtian was holding up his teacup to drink, a strange force snatched the cup away and splashed the entire cup of tea onto his face.
"who is it!"
Bei Gong Lingtian was furious. No one had ever dared to treat him like this before!
Leng Ningke turned his head to see what had happened to the young master, when suddenly the little thing inside his clothes bit him, and instantly his whole body was frozen, unable to move.
Bei Gong Lingtian thought it was the person who had been following them who was up to something, and he was so angry that he rushed out and kicked open Jiang Ning's door. But then a strong force landed on his back, kicking him so hard that he tumbled and crawled to his knees at Jiang Ning's feet.
This teahouse is always very popular because it is close to Sanshengxuan. Almost every private room is occupied. The commotion caused by Beigong Lingtian attracted a lot of onlookers.
As soon as they peeked out of the private room, they saw someone kneeling on the ground, and their gossipy hearts were ignited.
Jiang Ning looked slightly surprised and asked Bei Gonglingtian with a puzzled expression, "Brother, these days, it seems we don't need to kneel to greet each other, right?"
Bei Gonglingtian's face flushed red with anger. He pointed directly at Jiang Ning and shouted, "Was this your doing?!"
Jiang Ning said slowly, "I'm sitting here perfectly fine. Where did you see me make a move? I haven't even complained about you suddenly barging in and disturbing me yet."
As if to verify Jiang Ning's words, another force slapped Bei Gong Lingtian across the face, knocking his entire body to the side.
Leng Ningke caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of his eye, and cold sweat poured down his forehead. Unfortunately, he was unable to move and could only worry anxiously.
Oh no, he failed to protect the young master this time. He'll probably get a severe scolding when he gets back. He should have known better than to take this lousy job for his sister.
Bei Gongling angrily unleashed his spiritual power to attack his surroundings, determined to kill anyone who dared to harm him!
Seeing this, onlookers quickly set up protective barriers to shield themselves and avoid being affected.
The force that had struck him suddenly vanished, and there was no other sound around, making Bei Gong Lingtian appear like a madman who had lost his composure.
The commotion was so loud that the waiter immediately informed the shopkeeper.
The owner of this teahouse was no ordinary person either. When he came up, he called several of his men, intending to use force to stop the farce if the customers refused to listen to his advice.
Knowing when to stop, Ye Lan quietly slipped away through the window when the shopkeeper came up, accompanied by Long Li.
When the teahouse owner arrived at the private room, Bei Gong Lingtian was still going crazy, cursing and swearing. The owner held him down and asked what had happened.
Bei Gong Lingtian pointed at Jiang Ning and said, "He attacked me for no reason and even immobilized my subordinates."
Jiang Ning: "Don't make baseless accusations without evidence, or I won't be someone you can easily talk to."
The shopkeeper acted as a peacemaker, but after inspecting the place, he couldn't find anything wrong with Jiang Ning. On the contrary, it was Bei Gong Lingtian who had damaged his shop, so shouldn't he demand some compensation?
Bei Gongling was so angry that his face twisted in rage. Forced by the other party's strength, he paid compensation, but in the end, he still couldn't find his enemy.
Jiang Ning was about to leave after watching a good show when Bei Gonglingtian instinctively tried to stop him. The shopkeeper immediately spoke up: "Young master, I don't care where you're from, but you'd better behave yourself in my shop. If you want to fight, go outside and do it. Don't disturb the other customers' enjoyment."
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Ning had already left the teahouse. Leng Ningke regained consciousness and followed him, but he was already gone.
Jiang Ning went to find Ye Lan, who was hiding in a corner where no one could see her. The two exchanged bracelets, and the next moment, Bei Gong Lingtian was stripped naked and thrown out of the teahouse.
By sheer coincidence, it landed right at Leng Ningke's feet, who had run out looking for someone, looking quite disheveled.
