《Heavenly Will》Chapter 19 - Xu Ya Inn, Tao Lin
Advertisement
Just like it’s exterior, the interior of Xu Ya Inn had a faint air of elegance. Qing Yun couldn’t help but raise his eyebrow at this sight. Although there were many ordinary people in the Tianlong City, most of them were rough practitioners and mercenaries. It wasn’t out of ordinary to see this kind of Inn in other countries, but for a border city like this, it was quite a peculiar sight.
Qing Yun looked around and couldn’t help but smile wryly. The Inn was quite popular as he couldn’t see any table free at this moment. The first floor was packed full with people, most of them being burly men that were far from the epitome of elegance. There were several young women, clad in yellow tight fit outfits serving the tables.
Qing Yun had to give it to the patron of this Inn, they really know what they’re doing. The cultivation level of Tinalong City was quite low, apart from several prominent clans the vast majority of practitioners that populated it were rough looking practitioners and mercenaries. Their crude appearances together with the air of elegance inside the Inn made it for a very interesting sight.
Su Fen grinned when he saw Qing Yun’s expression, “Brother Yun, this is the most sought Inn in the Tianlong City, their food and wine are a rarity around those parts. Even some people from outside the city come here just to try out this Inn’s specialities.”
Qing Yun looked around and nodded, this much was clear with a single glance, what baffled Qing Yun was that this bunch of customers didn’t exactly seemed like a friendly one, he wouldn’t be surprised if some of them would assault women in broad daylight. But now, even when surrounded by the young serving girls no one dared to do more than give a few hungry stares. It seems there was a great power behind this Xu Ya Inn.
“Mn, Brother Fen had indeed good eyes, I’m now even more eager to meet this sister in law Xu Ya.”
Qing Yun showed a smug face waiting for Su Fen’s reaction, just to see Su Fen by his side with a grave expression on his face as if he didn’t heard him. Qing Yun started and followed Su Fen’s gaze to a group of people walking their way. There was a lean young man with a mocking expression on his face, leading this group.

Qing Yun shook his head at this sight. Why did it look so familiar? Even he couldn’t believe that they will end up in this kind of situation twice in a day.
The people who didn’t pay any attention to them till now, at this moment had looks of wanting to see a good show. The customers shot rueful looks at Su Fen while the serving girls shook their heads helplessly. Judging from their behavior it didn’t seem that this was a first at this Inn.
Qing Yun didn’t miss their reactions and grasped something from this as he smiled and took a step backwards just when a sharp voice pierced his ears. “Yo! Su Fen! I’m really impressed that you have the guts to show your face here again. It seems the trashing I gave you last time wasn’t enough, you still have some face to lose!” The person speaking was the young man that lead the group of people. He had a scar under his right eye giving him a savage aura and his countenance didn’t hide the murderous intent in his eyes. It was obvious that at a glance that he was the sort of person who felt that apart from himself, everyone else beneath the heavens was extraneous.
“Hmph, Tao Lin. Don’t think that you’re something just because you were lucky to breakthrough. With your mere strength it not enough to make me kneel!” Su Fen jeered back, there was a faint mockery in his voice.
“Ke ke, Su Fen, you’re really something you know that? I told you to stay away from my woman but you don’t learn. It’s this you’re way of trying to impress a woman? By losing you’re face in front of her again and again? Tsk tsk, I thought you were just some trash but it seems you’re an idiot just as big!”
“Haha, young boss speaks true!”
“That’s right, Miss Xu Ya is young boss's woman. This trash dares to have thoughts on her? That’s seeking death?!”
“Haha, his head must have gone wrong after so much trashing!”

“Trash! What rights do you have to stand in front of our young boss! Go back to that puny clan of yours. It seems you think you’re something big just because you’re from some Su Clan? Ka, what Su Clan, us Bloodstone mercenary are not even afraid of the Jia Action House, you think you’re little clan it’s enough to let you speak to our young boss?!”
“Hahahaha!” Tao Lin gave an extremely disdainful laugh as contempt flashed through his eyes, and he looked at Su Fen like he was some kind of idiot. His followers started cursing at Su Fen too. They were well aware of the enmity between Tao Lin and Su Fen. This young boss liked to be fawn over and didn’t find anything more enjoyable than being in the limelight and show his might.
At this time Tao Lin’s followers had the same thought, What better time to kiss up to young boss if not now?
Qing Yun let out a mocking laugh as his eyes swept over Tao Lin’s group, he shook his head, “Trash will always be trash!”
Tao Lin was at the 5th layer of Houtian, just above Su Fen. But his followers were all stronger than him. The weakest was at the 5th layer to while the strongest was at the 7th layer of Houtian. Despite this, they were all trying to kiss Tao Lin’s ass, someone weaker than them.
Qing Yun saw too many people like them. They are afraid to stand in front of someone stronger but try to kiss up to someone weaker that has some backing. In this world of martial dao, if one doesn’t have a strong heart and an unwavering will one won’t be able to discard their mortal body and ascend to a higher realm. Those kind of people are destined to remain as puny existences in this kind of backwater place.
It was rather Su Fen that surprised Qing Yun. It’s not easy to get up when you fall so many times. His opinion of Su Fen raised up instantly. A heart as strong as bolder and a will as unwavering as a mountain. In Qing Yun eye, this kind of person was worthy of the utmost respect, in the future he might even be able to break free from the shackles of Xiantian and attain the profound realm.
Su Fen face darkened, “Enough with your rubbish, Tao Lin, if you have the guts then come and fight me yourself! You always hid behind your dogs, ka, even after your lucky breakthrough you're still a coward!” Su Fen let out a mocking laugh, it was obvious that he wasn’t afraid of Tao Lin even if this guy was stronger.
“Tsk tsk, Su Fen are you that willing to lose your face. A strength that can be commanded it’s still strength, what’s wrong in me using my subordinates?” Tao Lin looked at Su Fen as if he was looking at an idiot.
“Trash, you think you’re worthy of young boss to personally make a move?!”
“Haha, why should young boss dirty his hands to crush an ant, we are enough for that!”
“Brother speaks right, in our young boss eyes this guy is just an ant, he should feel grateful that young boss is allowing him to be in his great presence!”
Of course the ass kissing followers won’t let this chance slip by as they thrown smear at Su Fen while eulogizing Tao Lin to the heavens.
Qing Yun could barely contain his laughter. He looked at those people like looking at a bunch of buffoons putting on a show. He had to give it to them, they really know what they were doing, they didn’t even seemed bothered by Su Fen calling them dogs as if it was already a given.
