C21 Teahouse

20 Li outside of Chu Shi City, Chu Shi said.

It was midsummer, and the sun was high in the sky. Even the breeze was hot.

Qin Yuan picked up the kettle and gulped down a few mouthfuls of cold water. He wiped off the sweat that he could not wipe off as he cursed the depressing weather in his heart.

In fact, with Qin Yuan's current speed, he would only need three to five days to arrive at Western Orange Mountain. With his current strength as a four star warrior, it was almost impossible for him to kill a six star Fire Scorpion Tail Alligator.

His father could still hold on for around three months, but there was less than two months left before the Clan Martial Meet. Qin Yuan could not sit at home and slowly improve his strength before heading to Western Orange Mountain. Moreover, it would not be easy to find traces of the Fire Poison Scorpion's Tail Crocodile. Once Qin Yuan was strong enough, who could guarantee that he would be able to find the Fire Poison Scorpion's Tail Crocodile in a short period of time?

Thus, he could only set off immediately. He planned to go to the West Orange Mountain and hunt down magical beasts to hone his strength while he searched for Flame Poison Scorpion Tail Crocodiles.

After travelling for half a day, Qin Yuan's kettle had already run out. While he was thirsty and hot, he raised his head and saw a flag with the word "Tea" written elegantly in front of him.

"The teahouse!"

Delighted, Qin Yuan hurried into the simple little teahouse. He ordered a pot of Black Plum Tea and a plate of side dishes from Icy Town and held his clothes as a fan, trying to disperse the heat.

"When will you be able to absorb an Ice Vein Martial Seal? It's said that the warriors who possess this Martial Seal can walk with the air conditioner …" Qin Yuan grumbled in a low voice as he was not satisfied with the wind blowing from his clothes.

The teahouse had no name, but under such weather, there were quite a few guests who came in for tea. After Qin Yuan sat down, there was no longer any empty table.

"Hey, boy, give me this table, I'm taking it!"

Just as Qin Yuan was about to bring the cold black plum tea to his mouth, he heard a rude voice.

Raising his head, he saw that the man in front of him was big and broad with a crooked knife scar at the corner of his eyes. He knew that he was not someone to be trifled with.

Qin Yuan looked around and confirmed that the big man was indeed looking at him. He said, "There are still three empty seats at this table. If you don't mind, you can sit."

The big man was at a loss as to what to do. Normally, people would just give way out of fear, or else they would explode in a dispute. What did this kid mean by saying this?

"I'm not asking if you can sit at the same table with me!" I don't like sharing anything with others, if you know what's good for you, then scram! " The burly man slammed the table, making the dish of side dishes on the table jump up. Qin Yuan picked up the Black Plum Tea in time to prevent the plate from toppling over.

A bright aura appeared on the burly man's body. It seemed to be close to the standard of a three star warrior. He saw that Qin Yuan was wearing coarse hemp clothes and that he was still young, so he thought that Qin Yuan would not be too strong, even if he was a martial practitioner.

The shopkeeper at the side seemed to have seen this kind of thing many times, although he was anxious, he stepped forward and advised, "Don't do it, don't do it! The two guests had come to drink tea, why should they hurt each other because of a certain position? I think this little brother here should give you a 20% discount if you give me a seat. "

Qin Yuan took a sip of Black Plum Tea. The ice-cold taste of the tea invigorated him.

As the chief steward of the Alchemy Pavilion, he had handled many similar cases and had a good understanding of the tea shop's owner's state of mind when he was worried that the conflict would lead to him ruining his fortune. Moreover, the reason he was going out was to go to the Western Orange Mountain to hunt the Flame Poison Scorpion Tail Crocodile, so it was better to avoid unnecessary troubles. Thus, he carefully put down the teapot and cupped his hands towards the shopkeeper: "Thank you, shopkeeper, for your good intentions."

The shopkeeper heaved a sigh of relief. Seeing that the matter was about to be settled, the big man was unhappy: "storekeeper, what do you mean? Give him a 20% discount, what about me? And since there are so many people here, can you give me a 20% discount? "

All of a sudden, all the customers who were watching the scene were attracted by the big man's words. Although it was just a small amount of money, wouldn't it be a fool to not take advantage of the big man?

"This …" The storekeeper's expression was bitter. He originally wanted to settle this matter peacefully, but unexpectedly, the big man had made an even bigger ruckus. If the whole place was 10% off, then he wouldn't be able to make a profit. The guests were all looking at him with burning eyes. If he didn't get a 10% discount, it would only get worse.

Gritting his teeth, the shopkeeper admitted that he was unlucky. He frowned and closed his eyes, "Alright, everyone here will get a twenty percent discount!"

As soon as he finished, everyone cheered. The burly man sat down on Qin Yuan's original seat and sent him a provocative look full of complacency. Some of the customers even went over to thank the burly man.

"Hehe, we've all accepted your kindness, big brother!"

"Let me toast you!"

The big man, on the other hand, was happily chatting with these people as if he had done something extraordinary. "I'm really too kind. Everyone can drink tea happily!"

Qin Yuan watched everything and narrowed his eyes, but did nothing.

Although the people in front of him were hateful, it was not good for him to fight here. Otherwise, it would only bring more trouble to the owner of the teahouse.

However, just because Qin Yuan didn't want to cause trouble didn't mean that the other party didn't want to.

When the big man saw Qin Yuan silently settling the bill with the shopkeeper, he recalled that Qin Yuan was definitely not someone he could not afford to offend. Thus, the big man smacked his bottom and stood up, swaggering in front of Qin Yuan. Whether intentionally or not, he shook his fist and said, "Brat, I'm a bit short on cash these days."

Qin Yuan's expression did not change as he looked at the big man and said, "What does it have to do with me?"

"What are you pretending for? Uncle wants you to contribute some money! " As the big man spoke, he moved to push Qin Yuan, but Qin Yuan sidestepped him.

The man who pushed him was stunned. Before he could react, his body was sent flying out of the teahouse window and he fell face first onto the ground.

As for the customers in the teahouse, they also didn't clearly see what was going on. They only saw the big man mysteriously fly out of the window and thought that he was acting out something.

The burly man didn't understand how he flew out. He got up and was about to rush back to the teahouse in anger when he saw a girl in blue clothes wiping her sweat as she walked over with a hint of joy. Her fair skin made him feel dizzy under the sunlight.

"What a beautiful little sister!"

The big man took two steps forward and blocked the door of the teahouse in front of the girl.

What he did not expect was that the girl with the soft body was a four star warrior. A chill went up his spine as he made another intimate contact with the ground.

"Insolent thief, what do you want to do?" The young girl's melodious voice rang out, followed by a powerful stomp.

Compared to when he had inexplicably flown out of the teahouse, the young girl's suppression was real. The big man was frightened and quickly begged for mercy. Spare me! I thought you were an accomplice of that overlord in the teahouse, so you attacked! It's a misunderstanding! "

The young girl let go of the big man's foot with suspicion and asked, "What happened?"

The big man was happy, but he thought that this girl was easy to deceive, so he tried his best to keep his calm and pretended to be pitiful, "Just now, I was drinking tea at the teahouse. I met a brat who refused to pay the bill, how could a righteous person like me endure this? "It's a pity that I'm not as skilled as him. I just managed to say a few words before he threw me out of the window …"

The blue-robed girl had indeed seen the big man fly out from the window just now. He didn't look like he was lying. Her desire to be righteous suddenly grew as she dragged the big man inside the teahouse. "Let's go, I'll teach this brat a lesson!"

The big man was so scared that he continuously dug at the ground in an attempt to break free from the blue-clothed girl's grasp. Unfortunately, the girl's strength was frightening and his struggles were completely ineffective.

"Big Sis, no, big Sis!" Just go in, I'm afraid I'll be thrown out by him again! "

"What am I afraid of!"

Qin Yuan paid the bill and just as he walked to the door, he saw the blue-robed girl dragging a burly man with a sullen face as she walked in. She looked at him doubtfully.

The girl tossed the big man to the side and asked, "Who are you talking about?"

The big man saw Qin Yuan's cold gaze and immediately shrank back. He braced himself and pointed at Qin Yuan. "That's him!"
