Chapter 1012: Chapter 972: Arrogance at Its Peak

Regarding this, Lin Yi could only say that a wise man has his ways, and he naturally has a method to make these people listen to him.

Thus, facing Lord Liu’s aggressive questioning and his condescending gaze, Lin Yi simply treated it as air, casually dusted off his clothes, and then walked over to the table in front of everyone, sitting down without hesitation amidst their shocked stares.

That wasn’t all. He even picked up a wine pot from the table, poured himself a cup, and savored it slowly.

This behavior naturally provoked Lord Liu immensely.

Not only Lord Liu, but all the surrounding officials glared angrily and began to chastise Lin Yi, questioning who he was, why he came here, whether he was courting death, and if he was tired of living.

In short, every sentence was arrogant and overbearing, which clearly showed that they were a rabble, all birds of a feather, without a good person among them.

And this was exactly what Lin Yi wanted to see.

The more of such people there are, the better. If the number of chickens is too few during this demonstration, its effectiveness will be greatly reduced. On the contrary, if there are enough, this will truly deter those petty villains.

Yet, facing their wild gestures and questions, Lin Yi didn’t take them seriously. After drinking, he picked up a pair of clean chopsticks, grabbed a dish from the table, and started chewing.

Although the taste of the dishes was not great, at the moment, he wanted this style, wanted to intimidate the opponent, waiting for those soldiers to arrive.

Until they arrived, Lin Yi would not make a move or have any contact or communication with them. After all, if there are too few people, it won’t have any effect.

Facing Lin Yi’s arrogant attitude, Lord Liu couldn’t help but start to laugh coldly:

"Well, haha, this really seems like a lad jumping out of the rock.

I wonder if I should call you a calf that is unafraid of tigers or say you are brainless?

Daring to be so arrogant at my mansion, do you really think I’m of no consequence, or do you think my knife isn’t sharp?

Haha, well, today I must see what skills you have to be so arrogant with me.

Do you even know, in this territory, let alone you, even if that old emperor came, I wouldn’t take him seriously."

Who knows if Lord Liu was doing it deliberately, but one way or another, his words repeated that sentiment.

Perhaps these words make him feel more dignified,

Maybe the words allow him to elevate his own status,

bringing up the old emperor and stepping on him, such bragging probably not many dare do.

It may make people remember him and fear him.

Knowing that he is a man who even fears not the emperor.

But upon hearing these words, Lin Yi merely sneered coldly, then shook his head, and continued to enjoy the food on the table, ignoring the man.

However, amidst this tense atmosphere, with Lord Liu glaring angrily, a clatter was heard outside.

Which made Lord Liu and the crowd pleased.

At the same time, they knew the ones they were waiting for had arrived, making them suddenly excited.

One might wonder why so many are here, yet fear a little Lin Yi?

Of course, because these people are lost in indulgence, their bodies hollowed out long ago,

Not to mention facing such a burly fellow, even if a woman stood before them, they lack the courage to rush in.

Moreover, they believe their status is precious, and would not personally engage in a fight.

Firstly, if they fought personally, they would lose their dignity; secondly, if truly injured by the opponent, they’d be the ones hurt. Such matters naturally are to be handled by specific individuals.

Not to mention their own thugs, even just under Lord Liu, are legitimate National Guardian Soldiers,

With them charging, why should Lord Liu rush to the front line?

At the slightest danger, he would be hiding in the back.

This is his way of being an official, his way of survival.

As he often says, never put yourself in danger, not even a little, to live carefree in this world.

Sure enough, with that commotion, instantly, a group of soldiers surrounded the small hut.

The outside was suddenly brightened like daylight by the blaze of torches.

In a moment, no fewer than a hundred soldiers rushed outside, and as the soldiers surrounded here, several generals quickly came rushing towards the room, pushed open the door, and immediately saw everything happening inside.

However, the soldier generals looked at the large hole above, and then at the mess on the ground, momentarily confused.

Regarding why, of course, because besides this, only a circle of officials was left around the dining table.

Despite those people’s unpleasant expressions, they didn’t immediately comprehend what happened, did the room collapse?

However, if truly so, why didn’t this group escape? Why didn’t the officials rush out of the room?

As for Lin Yi, sitting there drinking wine, the generals didn’t ponder elsewhere, simply thinking he was a friend invited by the officials today.

"Greetings, Commander, during patrol, we heard a loud noise just now. Dare I ask, did something dangerous happen?"

With this question, Lord Liu’s face immediately darkened, and then he furiously pointed at the general and began to curse:

"Are you blind? Didn’t you see this guy sitting here? Someone, arrest him for me."

As he spoke, he had extended his hand, directly pointing at Lin Yi’s nose.

And directly issued an order to the general to arrest Lin Yi.

In his view, regardless of who this guy is, it’s better to tie him up first. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
