Chapter 19 Trouble Has Arrived

  But Si Cheng was completely unaware of this, and he wasn't interested in knowing either. He didn't want to provoke those common thugs for no reason, but that didn't mean he was afraid of them.

  As Ce Cheng continued on his way, he finally arrived at a place with relatively fewer people. There was an inn here called "Shui Xiang Inn". For Ce Cheng, who was unfamiliar with the local customs, it didn't matter which inn he stayed in.

  "Since we've met, let's stay here."

  Then, Cai Cheng walked in quickly. The first thing that entered his line of sight was a large hall with many tables inside, and at the entrance there was a large counter. Behind the counter stood an old man, who was tapping on an abacus while muttering to himself.

  When he saw someone coming in, he hastily stopped what he was doing and walked out from behind the counter, smiling at Si Cheng and said: "Sir, are you here to eat or stay?"

  "Live in the store." Si Cheng's voice rose faintly.

  "Very good! Please follow me." He then led Si Cheng upstairs to the second floor.

  "Is this room satisfactory for you, sir?" He then pushed open the wooden door in front of him.

  The room is not big, but very clean. Most importantly, this place is a bit far from those noisy areas, and it's unusually quiet.

  "En, not bad, this one will do."

  "Great! Sir, you can rest first. If you want to eat, please go to the first floor and find me." With an extremely bright smile, he said to Si Cheng after agreeing on the accommodation.

  Xia Cheng nodded slightly, waited for the shopkeeper to leave and closed the door, put away his luggage, and then sat directly on the bed. "It's okay to stay overnight, hoping nothing will happen," he said, and his eyes gradually closed.

  It was about three hours later, and the sky had gradually darkened. Only then did Si Cheng open his eyes, "Go down and see if there's anything to eat." He immediately got out of bed and walked out.

  When I came downstairs and took a look, the entire hall was already filled with many people. It seems that this inn's business is quite booming.

  Seeing Si Cheng coming down the stairs, the shopkeeper hurried over with a smile and said: "Sir, are you hungry? This inn has the best food in Jishui City, would you like to try some?"

  "Alright, two special dishes and a bowl of noodles." He said as he walked over to an empty table and sat down.

  "Great! Please wait."

  Before long, the dishes that Si Cheng wanted were all served, and the taste of these dishes was indeed as described by the shopkeeper. After eating, the aftertaste lingered in the mouth, making one's appetite suddenly open up.

  However, just at this moment, a loud noise came from the door. Looking towards the door, he immediately frowned. Because it was not someone else at the door, but Wang Xiaosan who had met on the road.

  But Wang Xiaosan had five or six beggar-like men behind him, rushing straight to the inn. Seeing these people's ferocious appearance, the innkeeper hid in the counter and didn't dare come out.

  Si Cheng smiled coldly and shook his head, continuing to eat his own food. He didn't put the few people who rushed in at all in his eyes.

  Wang Xiaosan came in and soon saw Si Cheng sitting alone eating. He then walked over with a cold face, followed closely by several people behind him.

  "Little kid, you're still so carefree! Do you know what happens to those who offend me in Giant Water City?" Wang Xiaosan kicked over the stool next to him and said with a pleased expression.

  "What's going on?" Shi Cheng didn't even lift his head, still eating with relish.

  "It seems that if you don't give him a show, he won't die of heartbreak." Wang Xiaosan looked at the people behind him with an evil expression. "Get up and beat him hard."

  Then five or six beggars rushed up, but before they could get close, Si Cheng suddenly punched out a fist, bringing with it a rolling roar that heavily smashed towards the front.

  In an instant, the few people who were rushing over crazily stopped in their tracks, their faces revealing painful expressions. Blood spurted out of their noses as the table in front of Si Cheng turned into powder.

  Wang Xiaosan, who was standing by, suddenly took a cold breath. "How can this guy be so strong?" Seeing the few people covering their noses and squatting on the ground wailing, he felt that he had encountered a tough opponent today, and had the idea of retreating.

  Thinking of this, Wang Xiaosan pointed at Sicong with a trembling finger, "You... you wait for me, see how long you can be smug."

  As he ran out, the several guys covering their noses also rolled and crawled out. Seeing the appearance of several people, it suddenly caused a burst of laughter from the people who had just watched the excitement in the inn.

  Sai shook his head and looked at the shopkeeper who was walking over with a trembling body, casually throwing some silver coins.

  "These ten taels of silver will serve as compensation for that table." He then headed upstairs to his room.

  Just then, someone walked over and blocked Si Cheng's path. Si Cheng couldn't help but turn pale.

  Seeing Si Cheng's appearance, that person only smiled slightly, "This young brother, seeing you so young yet having such ability, is truly a good skill."

  "Overpraise"

  Seeing that person didn't have a malicious look, Si Cheng also slightly relaxed and responded faintly.

  "However, that Wang Xiaosan himself is not a big deal, just a street rascal, not worth mentioning. But he has a childhood friend who is from the Cai family of Jushui City, you'd better be careful about their revenge." The man saw that Si Cheng was ignoring him and didn't get angry, but continued to advise.

  "Thank you!"

  He walked into the room with no expression on his face.

  As for what that person said, Si Cheng had no interest in it at all. As long as he got through tonight, he would leave this place. Whether it was Wang Xiaosan or the so-called Cai family, they wouldn't follow him to Kunlun Mountain anyway.

  Without a word that night, Shi Cheng set out early the next morning, taking his bundle and leaving the inn, then following yesterday's route to exit the city gate.

  When he was about ten miles away from the city gate, Si Cheng felt a bit uneasy and stopped in his tracks. He looked around but didn't feel anything out of the ordinary, so after laughing at himself in his heart, he prepared to continue on his way.

  Just then, a breaking sound came from the front, and a figure blocked the way.

  "You're the one who offended Wang Xiaosan yesterday..."

  Sai also stunned, then looked at the man, in front of him was a middle-aged man, with a still somewhat handsome face, his whole body emitting a very strong aura, standing there with an arrogant expression.

  "Who are you? Why block my way." After feeling the opponent's strong breath, Si Cheng had a hint of vigilance. He didn't think that someone blocking his path would bring him any benefits.

  "Heh heh, it doesn't matter who I am. What matters is whether you'll follow me back to let Wang Xiaosan deal with you, or if I'll have to drag you back myself." This person raised their head, not even bothering to glance at Si Cheng, with an expression of self-importance that was plain to see.

  Sishi let out a quiet sigh and knew that this was probably the person from the Cai family that the man had mentioned yesterday.

  "If I say neither of these options, then what?" Seung's face gradually turned cold as he said to that person.
