Questioning Heaven, Desiring the Way

Chapter 207: Teach You A Lesson

While Gu Suihan and Boss Zhang were having a good conversation

A commotion broke out upstairs. Sounds of shouts, jeering, and even the breaking of tables and chairs could be heard, making everyone within earshot frown and feel upset.

A few moments later, the sound of footsteps came from the staircase, along with a charming female voice. A young man with some bloodstains on his face came down the steps with his arms around a voluptuous woman.

Guess what happened upstairs? said Gu Suihan with a snigger as he raised his cup and smiled faintly after casting the stairs a glance.

There was probably some disagreement followed by a fight, said Boss Zhang. He wasnt bothered by this at all.

He finished the wine in his cup, wiped his mouth, and raised his voice, Mr. Fengyun! Everything, including the tables, chairs, and other items youve damaged, and the food will cost you around 5,000 spiritual coins. Thanks for patronizing!

Five. Thousand. Spiritual. Coins.

The entire establishment fell silent.

Boss Zhang wasnt just trying to weasel a little extra money. This was daylight robbery.

Five thousand? Youre really greedy. Fengyun Yu wasnt some idiot. His expression instantly turned foul. He slowly sauntered to where Boss Zhang and Gu Suihan were seated and said in a menacing voice, Arent you afraid thatyour stomach might burst from eating too much?

Not even a cultivator on the Earth Ranking would dare to refuse to pay in such an unreasonable manner. Youre not very old, but you say very big things for your age. Thank you for your concern, but my appetite is enough to fit way more than just 5,000 spiritual coins. Boss Zhang stopped eating and gently tapped the end of his chopsticks onto the table. His tone of voice was indifferent, but the threat and disdain in his words were obvious.

His words and actions were making it very clear to Fengyun Yu that he was in Fengyang and not within any territory controlled by the Fengyun Court. There were as many cultivators as stray dogs in this city, so Fengyun Yu had no right to throw his weight about as though he were someone really that formidable. Boss Zhang was only collecting 5,000 as a favor to Fengyun Court. If Fengyun Yu werent from somewhere reputable, he would have been beaten to death for making such a commotion.

After all, Fengyuan Bordello was a fairly famous place in this part of the city. It wasnt a place where just any Tom, Dick, or Harry could enter in the first place.

Excellent. Just great. Im gonna take a good look and see what in the world is even worth 5,000 spiritual coins, spat Fengyun Yu as he narrowed his eyes after his expression went through several transitions.

Five thousand spiritual coins werent really worth much, and Fengyun Yu was well able to afford it. He just didnt think this meal was worth that sort of money. Besides, if he actually foot the bill, he was going to be known as the idiot who paid way too much for nothing. After all, everyone watching him right now werent people of integrity. These people were the sort who would add unnecessarily to the story as they passed it around, so in less than half a year, Fengyun Yu was going to go from just being an unfortunate guy who was pushed into paying too much to being labeled a complete fool.

Boss Zhangs expression turned sour as well as he stared at Fengyun Yu, who looked like he wasnt going to back down without a fight. Boss Zhang sneered inwardly. He was determined to fleece this young man, yet this young man was going to insist on checking the bill?

Get the bill.

Boss Zhang let out a couple of insincere laughs and took the bill from his wait staff. He was expressionless as he said, You wanted a banquet and reserved ten tables. Each table had 39 dishes and six soups, including Demonic Monkey Paw, Liger Heart

Hold up, Fengyun Yu stopped him right there and scowled. These things will never add up to 5,000 spiritual coins.

Of course. The expensive things are at the end. Boss Zhang smiled brightly and went on, You broke three tables and seven chairs, as well as some cutlery. The tables were made from thousand-year earth-grade otherworldly wood, the chairs were made from warm jade pine wood, the chopsticks were made from the bones of a blood-winged ice crystal condor

Fengyun Yus eyes bulged as he instantly stared at the seemingly ordinary cutlery on Boss Zhangs table, and his lips began to twitch uncontrollably.

Tell you what, Ill round it down for you and make it exactly 5,000. Boss Zhang flung the bill in Fengyun Yus face and snorted. You can take it as paying to learn a lesson. When youre in Fengyang, even if your dad, Fengyun Ba, were here, hed have to pay for this as well. Youre merely from Fengyun Court.

Why you Fengyun Yu was so angry that he started shaking, but the slightly plump middle-aged man in front of him was giving off the aura of an Origin Core cultivator.

The aura was very slight, but it was enough to remind him that the older man was not afraid of Fengyun Court at all. If he really refused to pay, he might never see the light of day again.

All of a sudden, the gorgeous and charming woman next to him fluttered her eyes, glanced at Gu Suihan and hurriedly sent a message to Fengyun Yu via telepathy, Mr. FengyunI think the man next to him is

Youre the pillar of support the Li family got? After reluctantly handing over the money, Fengyun Yu suddenly turned to look at Gu Suihan, who was eating quietly, and asked this question in a frosty voice.

Hoho. Gu Suihan turned around slowly and stared at Fengyun Yu and his companions. His stare was like actual pressure weighing down on them. He suddenly increased the pressure and the crackling noises followed.

In that instant, Fengyun Yu and his companions, including the guards behind him, turned purple in the face. The crackling noises were coming from their bones. They had barely held up for a second when their knees gave way. The group fell to their knees with a loud thud.

This is to teach you a lesson. Use your brains when before speaking or doing anything. Not everyone is willing to let you off just because youre from Fengyun Court. Gu Suihan splashed a cup of wine on Fengyun Yus face. Fengyun Yus eyes were bloodshot and his expression was twisted as Gu Suihan patted his face. When youre here, make sure you behave yourself. Even if youre a dragon, keep yourself coiled up. Even if youre a tiger, just lay low. The Clan Ranking is about to start, so dont end up putting lots of effort to get in only to be injured severely just before it starts. Thatll be terrible.

How dare you! Immediately after Gu Suihan said those words, the last two of Fengyun Yus guards who were still somewhat standing because they were at Origin Core got angry when they saw how their young master was being humiliated. They gave a loud shout and thrust their palms out. The wind and clouds within a kilometer radius came together and turned into a giant hand that howled and boomed like a thunderstorm, then flew toward Gu Suihan.

Pieces of trash at Origin Core. Gu Suihan merely snorted at the mighty palm coming toward him. He narrowed his eyes and everything in the restaurant suddenly paused. His power over the laws of nature shot out from him as thin but brilliant lines that weaved together into a net that trapped the giant hand. The net turned the hand into nothing but a cloud of qi in mere seconds.

The net was not weakened in the slightest as it moved on to cover the two guards. The guards shrieked as the net chopped them into tiny pieces no larger than a finger. Before anyone could even smell the blood of their bodies, a large hole appeared in the floor and swallowed up all their flesh and bloodstains.

The whole exchange happened within the blink of an eye and the winner was obvious after just one breath.

Everyone could hardly believe their eyes. The two guards who had just shouted angrily and launched an attack had vanished into thin air.

All the people watching inside the restaurant, including Boss Zhang and Fengyun Yu and his companions who could not get up from the floor at all gasped in horror at this sight and felt cold all over.

All of that seemed to have happened very simply, but thinking about the process was terrifying

In just the blink of an eye, Gu Suihan had made use of so many laws of nature. Not even a cultivator at Nascent Change could have understood so many laws and be as familiar with them. His actions sent shudders down everyones backs.

In the capital, Xianyang, of the great Qin empire, at the moment when Gu Suihan launched his attack.

A figure who resembled a civet suddenly appeared, wrote a lot of words on a piece of paper and presented it respectfully before slowly fading away like a cloud of mist.

The middle aged man seated in the room looked carefully at the note that was written very simply. His gaze paused at one of the lines written and a faint smile spread across his lips. Ive been looking for you for a long, long time. I didnt expect everyone to be gathered here. As the emperor, I will give you a chance. A chance to stand on the chessboard.

After he uttered those words, he casually cast the paper aside and focused all his attention on the animal hide on his table that measured no more than a foot or so. The tiny words inscribed all over it were dizzying. It was creepy, yet it contained the mysterious vicissitudes of ancient times.

Nuwa created mankind and blessed all the creatures in the world. Thatsso foolish. What a joke. Mankind, humans, are made from demons, souls, and some other things. You who have no heartyou have something I need.

Ive been bored for too long. Ill give you a chance to get onto the Go board to fight and take a gamble on.

It was late at night. The moon shone brightly in the sky.

There was a light breeze, and the skies contained no clouds.

Gu Suihan sat alone in his courtyard and drank by himself. All of a sudden, his face paled, then turned bright red as a mouthful of blood came out of him against his will. It sprayed into his cup of wine, swirling itself into the clear liquid inside, and turned the wine into a faintly red, mildly fragrant liquid instead.

My spell has been broken. Who is it? Who is trying to find out where Ive come from and where I am now?
