"You, you dare hit me?" Fang Xue, being a Grandmaster Realm cultivator, wasn't knocked unconscious by the slap. She still had the strength to stand up and demand an answer.
Even so, her hair was disheveled, and her initial arrogance had vanished, replaced by a mix of anger and fear in her eyes.
It seemed that command medallion must be something truly formidable, for Manager Chu to change his attitude so quickly.
Damn Chu Hao, why are you so lucky?
"Scram, or I'll kill you," Manager Chu's killing intent was icy cold.
"Fine, let's see how you explain to Liu Pian that you dared to lay a hand on me!" Fang Xue's eyes were filled with resentment as she immediately left without looking back. After all, continuing to provoke them now would only lead to her own detriment.
"Such a parasite, with no sense of propriety." Bai Luo disdainfully cursed.
This command medallion represented the authority of the Liu family ancestor. If Fang Xue dared to be disrespectful, Manager Chu would definitely be held accountable, and Fang Xue herself might end up dead and undiscovered.
What was Liu Pian compared to the Liu family ancestor?
One could say that Manager Chu himself had saved Fang Xue's life.
If not for his apprehension of Liu Pian, Manager Chu might have directly slapped Fang Xue to death.
Now, with Chu Hao holding the command medallion, even if he, in a fit of rage, destroyed the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, no one would or dared to stop him. Even if short-sighted fools like Fang Xue tried to intervene, they would be beaten to death.
This command medallion was absolute authority!
"So this is the power he relies on."
Some people's hearts trembled. The majority of people here fundamentally didn't know the origin of this command medallion, but they understood one thing.
This command medallion could not be violated, nor could it be disgraced!
"Sister, do you want to forgive him?"
In the vast space of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion's first floor, Chu Hao's faint voice echoed.
Manager Chu's body trembled.
Then, as if he had aged several years, he clasped his hands and bowed to Chu Ling Er.
"Please forgive me, Miss Chu!"
Everyone was silent, not even daring to breathe heavily.
This man was the manager of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, a tenth-stage Grandmaster Realm cultivator, backed by the Liu family. Combining these identities, even some Great Grandmaster Realm cultivators dared not offend Manager Chu.
Compared to Bai Luo, Manager Chu was superior in every aspect.
Yet, even such a figure with such a background, when facing that command medallion, became a puppet, obeying every command. Where was his prestige now?
Today, he was forced to bow his head by Chu Hao, apologizing to Chu Ling Er.
This sixteen-year-old young man, with one foot, had trampled over the head of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion!
At this moment, the entire space was silent, no one spoke.
Everyone was waiting for Chu Ling Er's answer.
In Chu Ling Er's beautiful eyes, ripples of emotion surged, a warm current rising within her heart.
How could she not understand that all of Chu Hao's actions were entirely for her to vent her anger?
Arrogantly shattering the Bright Moon painting, forcing Manager Chu to bow, and even having Fang Xue slapped and driven out.
Everything, everything, was simply for her to vent her anger.
Nothing more, nothing less!
Just as Chu Hao had once declared, from now on, no one could oppress them.
At this moment, he fulfilled his promise.
"Little brother, he was merely following orders, he couldn't help himself. I don't blame him." Chu Ling Er's lips curved into a smile.
Compared to Chu Hao's growth and transformation, these grudges were simply insignificant to her. She didn't even want to care about them anymore.
What was important was that her little brother had grown up and was now protecting her.
"Thank you, Miss Chu." Manager Chu inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Bai Luo, Bai Wei and I no longer have any grudges. You don't need to apologize again."
Chu Hao glanced at Bai Luo beside him. Hearing this, disappointment flickered in Bai Luo's eyes. This aloofness was indeed thousands of miles away.
But Chu Hao's next sentence made his heart leap with joy.
"However, you had good intentions just now. Thank you for standing up for us."
"Young Master Chu speaks too highly of me." Bai Luo suppressed the joy in his heart and quickly responded.
"Manager Chu, do you want me to keep standing here?" Chu Hao's gaze fell on Manager Chu.
"I wouldn't dare. I will go prepare the room immediately."
"Manager Chu, me too. I also wish to stay at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion for a few days. Please help me prepare a room."
Bai Luo coughed lightly.
...
At the most expensive room in the Drunken Immortal Pavilion.
At the center of the room was an incense burner, releasing fragrant smoke that permeated the entire space. This scent had a calming effect on people.
The room's space was perhaps five times larger than the low-tier room Chu Hao and Chu Ling Er had previously stayed in. All the furniture, such as tables, chairs, beds, and cabinets, were handcrafted and carved from various types of high-grade wood. Everywhere in the room were luxurious porcelain and blooming fresh flowers, elegant, exquisite, quiet, and beautiful.
Staying here for one day cost 10 primordial stones.
Previously, Chu Hao only received ten primordial stones a month at the Chu family, which goes to show how expensive the accommodation here was.
"Sister, what do you want to ask? Go ahead and ask."
Chu Hao sat on a chair, looking at Chu Ling Er beside him. He knew that after what had just happened, Chu Ling Er would certainly have many questions.
Chu Ling Er hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"Little brother, what happened between you and Liu Ji Ya?"
Liu Ji Ya, one of Jade City's top prodigies and one of its four great beauties, was someone she couldn't possibly not know.
However, she couldn't figure out how Chu Hao would come to be related to Liu Ji Ya.
"We met through a bit of destiny. She had a request for me," Chu Hao said nonchalantly.
