Bai Li Dong Jun opened a tavern called Dong Gui Tavern.
His neighbors, however, were all quite eccentric.
The butcher with a thick beard looked quite fierce, his gaze always seemed like he was about to kill someone.
The old woman selling needles and thread next door also felt a bit eerie, she must have some kind of secret skill under her sleeve.
And then there was the Xi Shi boss lady selling dumplings, still full of charm, she had a captivating aura.
Plus, the mysterious guest who had recently stayed for a while and then left.
It made Bai Li Dong Jun feel incredulous.
Had he strayed into some strange place?
It wasn't until his part-time waiter Si Kong Chang Feng voiced his own guess that Bai Li Dong Jun realized how ridiculous the path he had chosen was.
Turns out, this place was within the territory of the Gu family, one of the most powerful families in the Southwest Dao.
There were two major families in the Southwest Dao, with equal power and constant competition.
Until recently, news of an arranged marriage surfaced, which gave Bai Li Dong Jun the idea to seize the opportunity to take over their wedding feast, make a fortune, and gain some fame along the way.
“Unfortunately, you were wrong! Gu Lo Li, the head of the Gu family, recently died unexpectedly. This marriage was supposed to be called off, but for some unknown reason, the Yan family decided to have their daughter, Yan Liu Li, marry the second son, Gu Jian Men!”
Through Si Kong Chang Feng’s explanation, Bai Li Dong Jun finally understood how wrong he was.
Good heavens, there was so much hidden meaning here.
Were these people all here with malicious intent then?
Just as he was feeling melancholic, a dusty young man slowly walked into the tavern.
He sat down and called out.
“Shopkeeper, bring me some wine!”
Bai Li Dong Jun was both surprised and delighted to have a customer at this time.
He rushed forward to greet him, offering his personally brewed wine and even claiming it was free if it wasn't good.
“Really?”
The handsome youth, although dressed in plain clothes, with an unknown origin, carried an air of nobility in his expression.
Clearly, he was confident about his choice of this tavern.
He then took a sip of Bai Li Dong Jun’s wine.
It was indeed familiar.
Just like the taste he had tasted in the Peach Blossom Forest.
That’s right!
The one who appeared here was none other than Jun Yu, who had just left Penglai Immortal Island and rushed here.
He had calculated the time and arrived at this place.
It was at a time when the Gu and Yan families in the Southwest Dao were in conflict.
Bai Li Dong Jun, now going by the name Bai Dong Jun, was still oblivious, unaware that he was already trapped.
The butcher, the boss lady, and everyone else running shops around him were all assassins hired by Yan Po Tian.
Next, they would make their move against them.
Of course, there would soon be other reinforcements coming to help.
For example, his junior brothers whom he hadn't met yet.
Because the Gu family involved in this incident was the elder brother of Gu Jian Men, one of the Eight Young Masters of Bei Li.
Of course, they couldn't just ignore their own family's affairs.
But Jun Yu’s appearance still brought joy to Bai Dong Jun’s heart.
After all, this was his guest.
He immediately asked with a smile, “So, how is our wine? It's definitely worth the price!”
“Yeah, it's got some flavor! Here's a silver ingot for you. I want a top room, I'll be staying tonight!”
“Don’t worry, you’ll be satisfied! Little one, go ahead and take care of him!”
Bai Dong Jun was surprised to receive the silver ingot. This guest was very generous, this tavern was finally open for business.
Being called to take care of the guest, Si Kong Chang Feng was unwilling and immediately complained.
“This guy is weird, why would he choose this place?”
“What are you talking about? That’s our honored guest, at least we got some money, right?”
Bai Dong Jun was very optimistic.
Regardless of who came, let my tavern survive this crisis first.
However, Si Kong Chang Feng had been through the world, he saw things clearer than Bai Dong Jun.
Right now, there were people hired by the Gu family all around, they might even think we’re here for some ulterior motive.
What if this guest is a master arranged by the Gu family, then you, a guy with no inner strength, will be in for trouble, right?
“Then what do you think we should do?”
Bai Dong Jun was unhappy too.
Turning down good business and kicking people out because of this?
Don’t I have you, the waiter, to be my bodyguard!
After all, someone has been mooching off me and refusing to work hard.
You’re being too ungrateful.
At a crucial moment, you have to be useful!
As the two were bickering, the assassins came knocking.
Yan Bie Tian was a very direct person.
Since he found out something was wrong with Bai Dong Jun, he directly sent his subordinates to kill them.
This angered Si Kong Chang Feng.
You want to kill someone in front of me, don't you have any manners!
At least, ask about my gun first.
He then raised his long spear and introduced himself.
“I never saw my parents when I was young, so I came empty-handed, and therefore called myself Si Kong! This life, I only want to become a long wind, so I’m called Si Kong Chang Feng!”
He showed off a little, using his Pursuing Ruins Spear to defeat the attackers.
Who would have thought that the waiter here was so skilled.
The attackers had really met their match!
However, Yan Bie Tian had set up informants all over the street.
Originally, they were to monitor the Gu family’s every move, preventing them from causing any trouble.
Now he had to let his assassins deal with the troublesome Bai Dong Jun and his companion first.
Since his trash couldn't do the job, then the real aces had to make their move.
The butcher, the boss lady, and the old woman selling needles who had been lurking on the street were all ready to make their move.
However.
As the butcher was about to barge into the tavern, a figure quietly appeared in front of him.
Blocking his path.
It was none other than the nameless young master Jun Yu who had just returned.
But now he was dressed in plain clothes, looking unremarkable.
Standing in front of the butcher, it looked like he was merely a grasshopper trying to stop a carriage.
“Get out of the way, you looking for death?”
The butcher was furious, he revealed his butcher’s knife, ready to drive the other away.
“Golden Mouth Yan Luo, you’re called Ten Thousand Years, aren’t you? I don’t want to see you here, scram!”
Then, he made his move.
It was just a casual glance.
Golden Mouth Yan Luo felt like kneeling down!
Sword Qi!
