Chapter 173: One More Crime
More and more people gathered on the street in front of Qianfan Tower.
The Li family is the undisputed first family in Chiyang City, and now the eldest son of the Li family has his hands and feet broken and is thrown on the street like a beggar. How can people not be curious?
Especially this eldest son of the Li family is a famous cultivation genius. Before he was 25 years old, he had already entered the ninth rank. A master once said that he could enter the extraordinary before he was 40.
In the entire Chiyang City, except for the city lord who was extraordinary, there was only the head of the Li family, so the entire Li family had high expectations for Li Nanxi and almost devoted all their efforts to cultivate him.
This directly led to Li Nanxi's habit of being spoiled since childhood and not taking others seriously.
But this time he kicked on the iron plate.
Li Nanxi knelt on the ground, and the pain on his body was not even a fraction of the pain in his heart. He had never been humiliated, let alone such a great humiliation.
He wanted to die immediately, but now his hands and feet were disabled, his spiritual power was sealed, and he was suppressed here in this humiliating posture, unable to move a finger.
In the lobby right in front of him, he could clearly see Han Xu sitting at the table, with one leg raised on a stool, drinking fine wine and eating beef.
Qing'er and Yingying, two beauties, stood behind him to serve. People in Chiyang City looked at Han Xu one after another. Why had they never heard of such a romantic figure before?
I don't know where he came from, but he treated the eldest young master of the Li family like this, and I'm afraid he will be retaliated by the Li family later.
In their opinion, a teenager who dared to challenge the Li family was simply courting death.
In the private room on the top floor, Chang De observed everything that happened with interest.
"Eighteen-year-old eighth-rank, Han Xu, Han Xu, you are really amazing. You have such a high talent, why do you keep it hidden?"
Thinking of the past, Han Xu's attitude towards him was neither hot nor cold, and he did not have the awe of ordinary people towards extraordinary strongmen. Chang De finally figured out the reason today. That was because with the talent he showed today, it was only a matter of time before he broke through the realm of extraordinary.
And his methods were decisive, and it was impossible for him to be just a playboy.
"You have entered the eighth rank at such a young age. No wonder even a strong man like the White Sword Demon can be related to you." Thinking of the discussions in the inner court a few days ago, they could infer from various signs that both the White Sword Demon and the mysterious Buddhist master were related to Han Xu, but they could not explain why such a strong man would be related to a useless young master.
But now it seems that everything can be explained.
Han Xu has been playing the pig to eat the tiger all the time. He is not a waste, but the most incredible genius Chang De has ever seen in his life.
Chang De did not take action, but chose to be a quiet spectator. He wanted to see how many unknown secrets Han Xu had hidden.
Han Xu was drinking in the lobby. There was no one around him. In the huge lobby, there were only him and his two maids. Everyone knew that the Li family would come to rescue people, so they were afraid of having any relationship with Han Xu and avoided him.
At this time, the chief shopkeeper of Qianfan Building came in a hurry to inquire, and said to Han Xu anxiously: "Young Master, please leave here quickly. Maybe you are from another place and don't know that the Li family is the largest family in Chiyang City. You can't afford to offend them."
"You are worried about affecting Qianfan Building. Don't worry, it won't implicate you." Han Xu said calmly, "Besides, you don't have to worry about the first family in Chiyang City in Qianfan Building."
"This..." The chief shopkeeper said with difficulty, "After all, we are businessmen, and we emphasize making money in harmony."
From Han Xu's words and deeds, he could easily infer that Han Xu was definitely not a small fish or shrimp, so he was quite polite in his words.
As the chief shopkeeper of Qianfan Building, he still has some vision, not to mention that Chiyang City is so close to the royal city.
"You don't need to intervene in this matter. This young master will be responsible for anything that happens." After Han Xu finished speaking, he took out a purple and gold card and handed it to the chief shopkeeper.
After seeing this card, the chief shopkeeper made a respectful comment and said nothing more.
This purple-gold card represents the highest level of VIP status of Baige Chamber of Commerce. You can enjoy supreme service in any branch of Baige Chamber of Commerce.
Even if Han Xu demolished Qianfan Building today, no one would pursue it.
The capital card is not just obtained by simply having money. In the entire Dawu Dynasty, there are no more than 30 people holding this card. Even the mayor of Chiyang City does not have such an honor.
The card in Han Xu's hand was sent by Zhu Ze himself after the last auction.
Some careful people have noticed the change in the attitude of the chief shopkeeper before and after, and also noticed the purple-gold card. Although they don't understand what it is, they can also associate it with the calm young man in the lobby. Perhaps he has some remarkable origin.
Not long after, there was a commotion in the crowd outside the door. A group of sword-wielding warriors pushed the crowd away and squeezed to the front of the door.
A middle-aged man in luxurious clothes came with a tiger step. When he saw Li Nanxi's miserable appearance, his face looked like he was struck by thunder.
Seeing this man, everyone unconsciously took a few steps back, with awe in their eyes, because he was the patriarch of the first family in Chiyang City, and the first master besides the city lord, Li Nanxi's father, Li Hongjiang.
"Father, save me, kill this kid." Feeling Li Hongjiang's breath, Li Nanxi roared angrily. He wanted to make Han Xu live a life worse than death to avenge the humiliation he had suffered recently.
Li Hongjiang looked at Han Xu, who was much younger than his son, and thought of all the possible big shots in his mind, but none of them matched.
Since he was an unknown person, there was nothing to worry about. If you dare to trample on the face of the Li family, you will have to pay a painful price.
"Take him down and destroy his cultivation first." Li Hongjiang gave the order without saying a word.
The group of sword-wielding warriors followed the order and rushed in. Then, the sound of the zither came from the hall, and countless wind blades flew out. In an instant, this group of well-trained warriors were beaten to pieces before they even stepped into the door.
Qing'er picked up the guqin and followed Han Xu with Yingying, slowly walking out of the door.
"This young master asked him to repent here. Who dares to save him!"
The corners of Li Hongjiang's mouth twitched. He had never seen such an arrogant young man. Looking at the two beautiful maids behind him, they actually had strong cultivation. Where did such a person come from?
"Who are you? I don't know how my son has offended you, but you want to humiliate him like this."
"Is this considered humiliation?" Han Xu said with a harmless smile, "He did something wrong, and this young master gave him a little punishment. Can this be considered humiliation?"
"Young man, I don't care where you are from. In this small piece of land in Chiyang City, no one dares to do this to my Li family."
As he said that, his figure flashed and he rushed towards Li Nanxi. No matter what, he had to save his son first. Li Nanxi was the hope of the Li family in the future, and there couldn't be any accidents.
Although he was fast, Han Xu was close to him. When he just moved, Han Xu got in front of Li Nanxi first and put a dagger directly on his neck.
"Threatening me?"
"Add one more crime."
After saying that, he didn't hesitate at all and cut Li Nanxi's throat with a knife.
