Chapter 1598 - 598: Off You Go! (3)The waiter gave a smile:
"Baisui City is less than seventy li from here. Just follow this road west, and you’ll reach it."
Su Mo nodded slightly: "Thank you."
He casually handed a piece of broken silver to the waiter, who left with a shower of thanks.
After that, there was nothing else, so everyone watched Zhen Xiaoxiao eat.
At that moment, a young man quietly passed by outside the tea house.
His gaze swept around inside the tea house, frowning slightly.
Without entering, he was about to continue along the road.
Everyone inside the tea house was fixated on watching Zhen Xiaoxiao eat, without blinking, until someone caught sight of the young man out of the corner of their eye, exclaiming "Oh my!" as they leapt up and shouted sternly:
"Hold it!!!"
This shout instantly woke everyone else inside the tea house as if from a dream.
They all looked up, their expressions changing dramatically, shouting angrily:
"Stop!"
"Don’t let him leave!!"
"Chase him!"
The young man did not stop, but instead walked even faster.
Those inside the tea house were infuriated, grabbing weapons from under the tables and running to catch up.
Many of them glared fiercely at Zhen Xiaoxiao as they chased.
These people had come with a purpose.
And that purpose was the young man.
The group had originally camouflaged themselves well, confident that even if the young man didn’t enter the tea house, they could stop him.
But now, they had become so absorbed in watching someone eat...
They had carelessly let the young man slip away right before their eyes!
What an incredible blunder.
Zhen Xiaoxiao, savoring a roasted chicken, turned back and saw that the tea house was almost empty, leaving only their table.
She blinked, looking completely baffled.
The waiter was dumbfounded and only realized after everyone was gone:
"Oh no, they haven’t paid yet!"
He was about to chase after them when the shopkeeper pulled him back:
"Stop right there; once disaster goes, there’s no reason to invite it back.
"Just calm down."
"But..."
The waiter wanted to say more, but seeing the shopkeeper’s demeanor, he could only shut his mouth, stamping his feet and sighing.
The shopkeeper sighed with relief.
He had seen many things in Jianghu.
In the chaotic Jianghu, cultivators often fought without hesitation, causing suffering for common merchants like them.
The shopkeeper had escaped death many times while running this business.
Though it was profitable, it was truly dangerous.
From the moment this group arrived today, he knew they had other motives.
But for visiting guests, how could they dare drive them away?
He could only let them sit there for two or three hours.
The longer he waited, the more anxious he became.
Luckily, this group didn’t harm them.
Running a roadside tea house sometimes meant one’s life hung by a thread, a slight mistake could cost one’s life.
Yang Xiaoyun looked at the Jianghu people leaving, then glanced at Su Mo, feeling somewhat amused and exasperated.
Su Mo shook his head slightly, thinking Zhen Xiaoxiao was truly born in the wrong era.
A group of Jianghu men intending to kill were mesmerized by her eating and forgot their target.
If she were in his era, opening a food streaming channel, she would definitely go viral.
The spectacle had dispersed, and Su Mo didn’t plan to join the excitement.
Once Zhen Xiaoxiao finished eating, they settled the bill with the shopkeeper and continued their journey.
To avoid drawing attention, Yang Xiaoyun and the others gave up riding horses, staying hidden in the carriage.
Su Mo, Old Ma, and Xiao He, however, rode their horses ahead.
But before long, they saw shadows moving ahead.
The Jianghu guests who had gone to chase the young man were waiting here for some reason.
Upon seeing Su Mo and his party arriving, someone instantly stretched out a hand:
"Stop!!"
Su Mo raised an eyebrow, smiling slightly:
"What business do you have with us?"
"Where’s that girl who was eating just now? Hand her over!"
Someone immediately stepped forward, shouting angrily.
Su Mo glanced back at Zhen Xiaoxiao yawning on the cart, smiling slightly:
"Pardon me, hero, but why do you want this girl of ours?
"She’s young and eats a lot.
"If you take her, it won’t do you any good; in three to five days, she’ll eat you poor."
"Enough nonsense!"
The man shouted angrily:
"This girl ruined our plan!
"Either you hand her over and let us brothers deal with her.
"Or we’ll attack you all, murder and loot, and throw your bodies in the woods to feed the wolves... Choose your path!"
Hearing this, Xiao He’s eyes flashed, and Old Ma smiled knowingly.
Su Mo turned back to glance at Zhen Xiaoxiao:
"Xiao Xiao, do you want to go with them?"
"No, no."
Zhen Xiaoxiao shook her head like a rattle:
"Going with them means no food."
"What if they don’t let us pass?"
Su Mo asked again.
"Then..."
Zhen Xiaoxiao hesitated, then hesitated again:
"Then should I make them clear the road?"
"That works."
Su Mo nodded.
Zhen Xiaoxiao immediately stepped forward, coming to the front line, but before she could speak, there came a sneer:
"You look decent and respectable.
"But you’re actually rotten inside."
This voice came from a tree branch on the side.
Su Mo looked up; it was the young man who had just slipped away.
With his arms folded, he stood swaying on the branch, speaking coldly:
"They’ve come to your door, and since this girl is under your care, you should protect her.
"What reason is there to hand her over?"
Su Mo smiled at this:
"You’re right, but aren’t those people after you?
"You ran away earlier, so why have you come back now?"
"Naturally, to repay the lifesaving grace..."
The young man said, jumping down from the tree branch, standing beside Zhen Xiaoxiao:
"Don’t be afraid, young lady, they’re here for me. Your master can’t protect you.
"I will protect you!
"When the fight starts, I’ll hold them off, you run quickly.
"Don’t mind your heartless master."
"Hahaha, Yun Mantang, what this kid said earlier is correct!
"If you had made it to Baisui City and given the item to Old Master Xing, we’d have no way against you there. But you still came back?
"Even with death at your door, you don’t forget to play the hero...
"Fine, we’ll make it happen for you!"
The opponents were elated at this sight.
Yun Mantang’s face darkened, gripping his knife with one hand, whispering to Zhen Xiaoxiao:
"Once I strike, you run..."
Before finishing his sentence, he suddenly felt a hand grab him.
Looking down, it was Zhen Xiaoxiao’s hand.
He thought to himself, this girl must be too frightened... seeking comfort.
He sighed.
Such a delicate girl, her master doesn’t care at all, yet lets her face such ferocious Jianghu people; naturally, she’s frightened.
Just as he thought of this, he realized how strong this delicate girl’s grip was.
In surprise, he found himself lifted high by her.
Looking down, he saw her face full of impatience:
"If you want to fight, fight, don’t waste words, delaying lunch... oh no, delaying the schedule. If you want to fight, go first, off you go!!"
With that, Zhen Xiaoxiao took a big step and tossed Yun Mantang out like a paper airplane.
In that instant, flying through the air, Yun Mantang was dumbfounded.
The Jianghu guests were also left speechless!
