Chapter 36 White Robes and Blue Swords: Subduing People with Strength!
"Here it is, this is it! Braised beef in a clay pot, a local specialty of Donghai."
Na'er transformed into a treasure-hunting mouse, leading Jiang Xiu through the bustling crowd until they stopped in front of a small shop, where the words "Braised Beef in a Pot" were prominently displayed on the storefront.
As night was falling and the temperature outside was not high, the aroma of beef wafted over as soon as you approached the store, instantly making you feel comfortable and stimulating your appetite.
"Then let's go in and have a taste."
Jiang Xiu looked at the small shop in front of him, raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he had thought of something, but did not say anything to disturb Na'er who was in the middle of her excitement. Instead, he followed her into the shop.
"Welcome! There are seats inside, please have a seat for the two children."
The shop wasn't big; there were only five small rectangular tables inside, seating a maximum of about twenty people. It was already half full. A middle-aged owner wearing an apron and with a kind face greeted Jiang Xiu and Na'er warmly as they entered.
"Two servings of braised beef, a side dish, and I'll skip the rice, sir."
Na'er had already planned ahead, ordering the signature dish right away, and even skipping the rice to save room for herself.
In no time, the middle-aged owner brought out the beef with a smile on his face, and the aroma immediately filled the air.
"Eat quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold."
Na'er picked up her chopsticks, ready to unleash her whirlwind attack.
"What a pretty young lady! Take your time eating. If you're not full, just tell me and I'll refill your plate for free. We have plenty of beef here."
Looking at Na'er, who was as beautiful as a porcelain doll, the middle-aged boss laughed heartily, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes.
He also has a daughter, about the same age as Na'er, but she is now seriously ill at home. He has to come out and work hard to save money for her treatment. Fortunately, he has saved enough money, and soon his family will be able to resume their warm and happy life.
Na'er responded and immediately started eating.
Jiang Xiu's attention was drawn to a customer in the restaurant. This customer was tall and wiry, with long arms and a narrow waist. Although he looked somewhat thin, his eyes were bright and piercing, and his nose was high and straight. He gave off an exceptionally upright and imposing aura.
What's even stranger is that this diner had blue hair, wore a white dress, and had calm eyes that exuded a faintly cold aura.
"White clothes and a blue sword? Is this Wu Changkong? It can't be that much of a coincidence."
The moment Jiang Xiu saw him, he immediately thought of this person, and now that he was in the East China Sea, Jiang Xiu became even more certain.
"Hmm? There's even a genius here."
Seemingly noticing Jiang Xiu's gaze, Wu Changkong raised his cold eyes, but when he saw Jiang Xiu and Na'er, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
Jiang Xiu smiled slightly at him. He didn't have a bad impression of Wu Changkong. He was one of the few normal people in Shrek Academy, loyal to love, and had feelings and righteousness.
Jiang Xiu then prepared to eat beef, because if he didn't eat it soon, Na'er would finish hers and then sneak over to eat his.
Sure enough, while Na'er was eating from her own bowl, her bright eyes were already fixed on the beef in Jiang Xiu's bowl.
Just as the two were eating, a sound of a clay pot breaking suddenly came from outside the shop, followed by the scream of the middle-aged owner.
The next moment, the middle-aged boss stumbled into the house. His once kind face was now bruised and swollen, and his eyes were filled with terror. Three burly men followed him arrogantly into the store.
"Hey Li, it's time to pay your protection money. And those three bastards beat me up and sent me to the hospital last time because of you, so it's not unreasonable to charge you with the medical bills."
The bald man at the head of the group spoke with a mocking and sinister expression, his eyes filled with resentment.
Three months ago, when he came to collect protection money, he was beaten up by three teenagers from Donghai Academy. Now that he has been discharged from the hospital, he is naturally resentful and wants to come here to get revenge. Otherwise, how can Guanglong survive in this area?
With a wave of his hand, Guanglong sent two burly men beside him ruthlessly snatching the money bag from the middle-aged boss.
"No, I can't give you the money. It's for my daughter's medical treatment. I'll treat you to free beef instead. Is that okay with you?"
The middle-aged shop owner clutched his money bag tightly, pleading desperately, "This is my daughter's life-saving money!"
But how could an ordinary man like him possibly defeat two strong men who were both first-ring Soul Masters? Not only was his money bag stolen, but he also had two more footprints on his body and was kicked to the ground again. He could only watch helplessly as his daughter's hope of being saved slipped away.
"Beef? I don't eat beef."
"Whether your daughter lives or dies is none of my business."
Guanglong tossed the money bag in his hand, took out the Federal Coins one by one, and chuckled.
Seeing this, no one in the surrounding crowd offered a helping hand; in fact, they all took a step back. They all knew that Guanglong was not only a Great Soul Master, but also had a brother who was a Six-Ring Soul Emperor protecting him. They were just ordinary people; how could they afford to offend him?
Seeing this, Guanglong laughed even more arrogantly, thinking that he, Guanglong, was still in charge here. He then prepared to raise his foot and step on the middle-aged boss.
"Boss, this uncle was just about to give us free refills of beef, should we help him out?"
A hint of anger rose in Na'er's eyes. She put down her chopsticks, clenched her fist slightly, and asked Jiang Xiu across from her in a deep voice.
"Na'er, as the saying goes, a gentleman doesn't just offer help; he tries to persuade people with reason."
Jiang Xiu's gaze remained calm as he spoke softly, slowly putting down his chopsticks.
"But boss... I..."
Upon hearing this, Na'er clenched her fists even tighter, her gaze lingering between the boss and Jiang Xiu, her heart filled with intense hesitation.
Upon hearing this, Wu Changkong's cold eyes flashed with disappointment. He then prepared to get up, but then he heard Jiang Xiu's voice continue to ring out.
"But I'm not a gentleman, and I don't like to persuade people with reason. I prefer to persuade people with force."
Jiang Xiu's muscles trembled, and as soon as his voice fell, he transformed into a black shadow and swept past, a cold, sharp glint flashing in his hand.
"Pfft!"
A sound of blood splattering rang out, and the left leg that Guanglong was about to step down with was instantly lifted up and severed at the root, with bright red blood gushing out.
"Aaaaaah!"
Guanglong felt a sharp pain, his face instantly contorting in agony. At that moment, a figure appeared before him, calmly watching him.
"you……"
Before Guanglong could react, Jiang Xiu raised his whip leg and swept it across. In an instant, a tremendous force struck his chest, causing him to grunt and roll his eyes back. Like a cannonball, he was sent flying out of the shop and crashed onto the street outside.
"Boss!"
Upon seeing this, the two burly men each released a white soul ring, roared, and charged towards Jiang Xiu.
"Boss, I'm here to help you!"
At this moment, Na'er's voice rang out, a flash of silver light appeared, and the two burly men immediately followed in the footsteps of the light dragon and took to the air.
Na'er looked at Jiang Xiu beside her, her purple eyes filled with joy. This was the boss she knew.
"You two little brats! You're finished! Do you even know who my older brother is?!"
Guanglong struggled to lift his head from the ground, glaring venomously at Jiang Xiu and the other man.
At this moment, a series of mechs flew rapidly from afar. A hint of surprise flashed in Guanglong's eyes, and he looked at Jiang Xiu and Na'er with an even more ferocious expression.
"Brother Jia is so fast!"
