I Truly Am The Villian-Chapter 995 - 994: The Prodigal Meets the Prodigal

Chapter 995: Chapter 994: The Prodigal Meets the Prodigal

“Did you hear that? Young Master Gao Yang said you’re not qualified. He’s asking for your shopkeeper to come out,” someone began to clamor.

By the time a few people arrived, the first floor of the restaurant was already dotted with patrons.

Now, Young Master Gao Yang and his entourage started driving people to other tables, freeing up several empty ones for themselves.

Those who were unwilling to give up their seats tried to argue but were stunned into silence by a few slaps.

These people were completely unreasonable.

The originally somewhat peaceful atmosphere was instantly shattered.

...

“Young Master Gao Yang, what brings you to my humble establishment today?” came a gentle voice from behind the shop.

Immediately after, a woman deftly made her way out.

The woman was on the older side, in her thirties.

Her features weren’t particularly stunning but could easily score an eight out of ten.

It was her figure that was main attraction: full and supple, it seemed to lack nothing.

Her body was flawless; you wouldn’t be able to find a single imperfection.

Probably everyone who saw her would have words of praise.

“Sister Xu, I was just thinking of you,” laughed Young Master Gao Yang.

The woman approached him, and he reached out his right hand to draw her into his embrace.

But the woman’s body was incredibly nimble, and she swiftly turned to evade his move.

Her laugh was lighthearted, her teeth white and lips red as she said: “Young Master Gao Yang, you’ve frightened my guests. This doesn’t seem like someone who’s missed me.”

“How could that be,” Young Master Gao Yang said, sitting beside the table, leaning back: “How much can they be worth? Sister Xu, if you’re short on money, just let me know.”

“Xiao Mei, bring over the menu. Let’s see what Young Master Gao Yang would like to eat,” the woman said, not responding directly but instead instructing another girl beside her.

At another table, Xu Zimei and his companions observed the scene.

Lin Ruhu laughed and said, “Could it be we’ve encountered a profligate son?”

“Interesting,” Xu Zimei replied with a smile.

“No, no, if we let him show off like this, then what are we doing here?” pondered Lin Ruhu, shaking his head slightly.

“Don’t rush, wait and see,” Xu Zimei replied.

…

The Bright Moon Pavilion certainly had many fine details.

Both the service and the restaurant’s decor were impressive.

Young Master Gao Yang took the menu, browsing through it while also taking liberties with the hand of the woman holding the menu.

The woman appeared somewhat embarrassed, trying to avoid his touch.

“Xiao Mei, go downstairs,” said Ms. Xu, gesturing with her hand, seemingly uncomfortable with the scene.

The table couldn’t accommodate all ten or so of Young Master Gao Yang’s group, so another group of customers was driven out.

That was a young man with silver hair and an old man.

The young man’s silver hair was striking.

Delicate-looking skin; though a man, he exuded more of a feminine than masculine air.

“On what grounds?” the young man, having his seat taken, was infuriated and stood up, shouting angrily.

His right hand was already on the hilt of his treasured sword, but he was stopped by the elder traveling with him.

“He’s just a boy and doesn’t understand, please forgive us, young masters,” the elder hastily apologized with a smile.

But they had only just begun eating their meal.

The old man’s gaze swept across the first floor, finally landing on Xu Zimei.

“Would you gentlemen mind sharing a table?”

Xu Zimei nodded slightly.

Their meal was brought over to Xu Zimei’s table, and the two followed suit and sat down.

As the young man took a seat, a faint fragrance emanated from him.

Lin Ruhu felt his body wasn’t quite adapting well and took a seat next to Xu Zimei.

He whispered, “Could this guy have some issues with his orientation?”

“Do you know the term ‘woman dressed as a man’?” Xu Zimei replied with a smile.

“Ah?” Lin Ruhu was stunned for a moment, then seemed to realize.

He then scrutinized the other person meticulously.

Until that person’s face turned beet red.

“What’s the background of this Mister Gao Yang? It seems like everyone here is quite afraid of him?” Xiao Guizi asked.

The young man beside him still held some resentment and snorted, “Just putting on airs in this little plot of land.”

The elder was quite amiable, introducing himself first.

His name was Wei Guohua, and the young man was Wei Ying.

The two of them were grandfather and grandson, visiting relatives from the Purple Sun Empire.

“This Mister Gao Yang’s Gao family is a famous and powerful clan in the Purple Sun Empire’s King’s City.

Of course, these powerful families are just that, even across the entire Purple Sun Empire, they’re nothing but lapdogs of the Sect Gate.

But the Gao family has produced an extraordinary figure; it’s said that the younger brother of the Gao family head is an Inner Sect Elder at the True Martial Holy Sect.”

Hearing this, Xu Zimei and the others looked at each other and smiled, understanding a bit more.

The position of an Inner Sect Elder wasn’t very high, but that depends on where you’re talking about.

As the current overlord of the Eastern Continent, the True Martial Holy Sect gave the position of Inner Sect Elder considerable prestige.

Especially after Hundreds Miles City, many people saw the True Martial Holy Sect’s Saint Heir as the bearer of Destiny.

Once a Great Emperor emerges, the status would change altogether.

An Inner Sect Elder, even many first-rate powers wouldn’t dare to offend, even wish to curry favor with.

“Which Inner Sect Elder is it?” Xu Zimei casually inquired.

His gaze shifted to Xiao Guizi.

He and Lin Ruhu had noble identities; they had been Core Disciples since they were born.

One’s father was the Deputy Sect Master, the other’s grandfather was a Core Elder.

They basically did not interact with the Inner Gate.

But Xiao Guizi, before meeting them, was an Inner Sect Disciple and knew much more about the situation within the Inner Gate.

“There’s only one Inner Sect Elder with the surname Gao – Elder Gao Ruchu,” Xiao Guizi thought about it and then said.

“Exactly, exactly, it’s Gao Ruchu,” the elder nodded vigorously.

Surprised, he looked at them and asked, “And you are?”

“We’re Outer Sect Disciples from the True Martial Holy Sect,” Xu Zimei said with a smile.

“The old man here has misjudged; I did not see clearly,” Old Wei hastily said.

Xu Zimei waved his hand and then said, “You two enjoy your meal; we’ll take our leave now.”

The three were about to stand and take their leave when a woman from the pavilion stopped them.

“Gentlemen, please settle the bill for the meal. The total is one hundred and three Spirit Crystals, but one hundred Spirit Crystals will suffice for you.”

“This must be a swindler’s inn,” Lin Ruhu glanced at the woman and said.

“Besides, when have I ever paid for a meal? Go ask around here in Maori City.”

Hearing this, Old Wei dining beside was also taken aback.

The complexion of the woman from the pavilion changed slightly.

“Somebody’s trying to dine and dash.”

“What do you gentlemen mean by this?” The woman surnamed Xu, hearing the commotion, came over and inquired.

“If you gentlemen are trying to dine and dash at Bright Moon Pavilion, I’m afraid you’ve chosen the wrong place,” Mister Gao Yang, sitting aside, filled his cup with wine and lightly chuckled.

“A bunch of scoundrels,” the one named Wei Ying also snorted coldly.

“So what do you want to do about it?” Lin Ruhu asked.

“Break their legs and have them beg in Maori City. Once they have enough to pay for their meal, then they can be released,” Mister Gao Yang said.
