Above all spirits

Chapter 55 Nouveau riche

"Crack."

Lin Zaicheng slowly walked downstairs and stomped hard on a candied hawthorn.

Syrup splattered everywhere, and the fruit pulp inside was mashed into a pulp.

"What a lowly commoner, so ungrateful."

"It's your good fortune that I've taken a liking to you."

The loud noise also attracted the attention of the diners on the first and second floors.

Those who can afford to dine at Zuixianju are certainly not ordinary families, even if they are not business tycoons or powerful figures.

Even if you are not qualified to communicate with or curry favor with some high-society figures, it is still common to hear about or occasionally see them.

The man in the stairwell was instantly recognizable to everyone, based on his clothes and appearance, as Lin Zaicheng, the third young master of the Lin family, a powerful figure in Lanyu City.

"That must be Young Master Lin."

"Of course, only he would dare to cause trouble at Zuixianju."

"That's true. You see, that store manager is usually very arrogant around here, but he doesn't dare to say a word in front of Young Master Lin."

"Isn't that obvious? Rumor has it that Young Master Lin has a father who is a half-step Saint Body. I wonder if he has broken through that barrier yet. That's a Saint Body!"

“In the small city of Lanyu, we can do whatever we want.”

"If I had a father like that, I'd be even more arrogant than him."

"Come on, you're dreaming."

Shh, keep your voice down. Oh, that waiter is so pitiful.

"Indeed, they probably ran into bad luck and got themselves into trouble."

"Hey, let's just focus on our own food and not get ourselves into trouble."

"You eat, you eat, I'll just take a few more glances and have some melon."

...

Everyone began to whisper.

Lin Zaicheng still felt a little unsatisfied.

Just as he was about to kick Xiaodie, who was curled up on the ground trembling, again...

A cheerful voice gradually approached from afar.

"Haha, what's gotten into my nephew so angry?"

Lin Zaicheng withdrew his foot, which was about to land.

If that kick lands, Little Butterfly on the ground will probably be half dead.

Xiaodie is just an ordinary person, while Lin Zaicheng is a cultivator who is about to enter the third stage of the mortal body realm.

Looking at the burly man who was gradually approaching.

"Uncle Lin Ping, it's nothing. She's just a whore. It's ridiculous that she can't even be touched while working as a waitress."

Lin Ping glanced at the woman in blue on the ground. Judging from her makeup and accessories, they were all cheap items. She probably didn't have any background and was unlikely to be a cultivator. She was just an ordinary woman.

The slight unease in his eyes was easily dispelled by the wind.

However, there are too many eyes watching here. After all, he is a person of some status. If this gets back to the Second Prince, it could be detrimental to him, even if it's something as trivial as this.

The less trouble, the better.

Lin Ping withdrew his scrutinizing gaze, patted Lin Zaicheng on the back nonchalantly, and agreed.

"Come on, come on, you're just a lowly commoner. Next time I have the chance, I'll take you to the brothels in the capital. Every woman there is more beautiful than this kind of trash. Nephew, I know you're in a bad mood today, so let's drink until we drop."

Yu Wei, who was trembling and dared not speak, immediately understood the atmosphere and seized the opportunity to speak.

"That's right, that's right, Young Master Lin, don't be angry. This meal is on me today. Eat as much as you want, I'll make sure you enjoy yourself!"

Lin Zaicheng's anger subsided considerably upon hearing this; he wasn't such an ungrateful person.

He naturally understood the meaning behind his uncle's words.

Following the last flicker of hope in his heart, he raised his leg again and kicked at Xiaodie.

Lin Ping and Yu Wei did not stop them, probably knowing that this was the last chance to extinguish the flames, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

Success is achieved if you can get the job done.

Xiaodie stared at the foot about to fall, her eyes tightly shut, her body tense, and tears of resentment welled up from the corners of her eyes.

"Snapped."

Lin Zaicheng stumbled and quickly grabbed the handrail in the stairwell to steady himself.

Did you miss?

Did a grown man miss his kick?

Looking at the empty hallway, Lin Zaicheng rubbed his eyes in a daze.

Lin Ping and Yu Wei looked around, somewhat puzzled.

Especially Lin Ping.

He is a powerful expert at the Invincible Body level, although he has only recently broken through and is only at the fourth level.

However, the dynamic vision of the superhuman level is not on the same level as that of the ordinary level.

Even standing in a downpour, he could see clearly whether each falling raindrop contained impurities.

Even so, the woman in blue who was lying on the ground still disappeared right under his nose.

While everyone was wondering...

A faint but miraculously audible male voice came from the fourth-floor staircase.

"Didn't I say? I'll take care of anything."

Hongxiu, standing beside her, was brushing the dust off Xiaodie's clothes.

As for some wounds, Gu Yun had already healed them completely.

The healing speed of innate Qi for minor wounds that are not even at the mortal level is frighteningly fast.

It's like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

"Ah, brother, my candied hawthorn!"

Bai Qing'er, standing beside her, looked sadly at the candied hawthorn balls scattered all over the ground.

Xiaodie was still in a daze, clearly not yet recovered from the fear she had just experienced, her mind filled with the thought of the kick that was about to come at her.

But feeling the pain in his body, which was no longer in pain, and the strange woman wiping him down beside him.

A warm feeling welled up inside me.

But then his face was filled with worry.

Xiaodie is a kind child. She wouldn't say that today's misfortune was caused by Gu Yun's extra demands, and therefore she wouldn't have any dissatisfaction or even resentment towards Gu Yun.

She was only worried about whether her own affairs would implicate Gu Yun.

Xiaodie swallowed a few times, hesitating to speak.

Because that young master Lin seemed to have a very powerful background, even the store manager, who usually looked up to him, bowed and scraped before him.

This distinguished guest before me is truly...

"So you're that lowly commoner? That nouveau riche? Right?"

"What, you think you're superior just because your eyes are red?"

Lin Zaicheng looked up at Gu Yun, who was dressed in all black, and said with some disdain.

Without considering why the little butterfly in front of them could instantly move to the fourth floor.

Perhaps he was used to running rampant in Lanyu City.

Or perhaps it was the confidence his father's impending breakthrough to the Holy Body gave him.

He didn't believe that this lowly commoner, who couldn't exert any sense of pressure on him, could have any real power or background.

But Lin Ping doesn't think so.

He climbed up step by step from the bottom, and he considered many things, whether it was his suggestion to temporarily close the family's Fengyue Pavilion business or his attitude towards Xiaodie not wanting to cause any extra trouble.

Lin Ping frowned as he sized up Gu Yun.

The black-clad man before them exuded an aura that was far too ordinary and unremarkable.

He gives the impression of being just a passerby.

But his expression was too calm.

His eyes also had an inhuman quality.

Judging from the current situation...

There are only two possible outcomes.

Either Gu Yun knew nothing about them, or they were insignificant to Gu Yun.

He certainly didn't want it to be the latter.

That would be a big problem.
