Chapter 413: Chapter 26 Go for it!_1

The crowd came running over in a commotion, and the old scam artist’s head dipped even lower.

After the crowd passed by, the old scam artist breathed a sigh of relief, but just then, he heard the Rabbit shout, "Hey there, are you guys tired from running? Since we’re heading in the same direction, why not hop on and ride together?"

"Ah? Thanks, we won’t be polite, then. You’re really nice, Rabbit." They were unabashed and then three or four people climbed onto the chariot.

Upon hearing this, the old scam artist almost jumped up to start a fight, but in the end, he managed to hold himself back.

Swindling in Lingling Ancient City was like slapping the Yu Family’s face. Getting caught would indeed lead to troublesome consequences. On a normal day, he would just turn tail and run, but now, with his ulterior motives, he naturally wasn’t willing to leave just yet.

So, the old scam artist gritted his teeth and kept his head low, continuing to trudge along with the chariot.

But the Rabbit wasn’t done yet, calling out to pedestrians as they went, drawing more and more people. Eventually, even another horse-drawn carriage was attached! Together, the two carriages were filled with over twenty people!

As the old scam artist walked, he cursed inwardly, "They say the Yu Family has good virtues, but what about their descendants? Don’t any of them know how to respect their elders or care for the young? They also have the nerve to get on...damn it!"

At that moment, someone on the carriage laughed, "Rabbit, your demon servant is not up to snuff; he can barely move with so few people. My family’s donkey demon runs faster than this..."

The old scam artist’s eyes went red with anger. He stomped his foot and took off running, ripping the two connected carriages into a sudden dash. Then, because he pulled too hard, the carriage fell apart right there on the spot! Taking advantage of the chaos, the old scam artist bolted and disappeared without a trace.

The man who had just mocked the old scam artist said apologetically, "Rabbit, your demon servant sure has a temper... Sorry about your carriage."

Qin Shou followed up with a nod, "No worries, that idiot does have a big temper; I’ll beat him when we get back!"

Everyone laughed along, and then who knows who started it, but one person gave Qin Shou some money, and soon after, they all dispersed.

Clearly, this was not an act of charity, but money for repairs.

Qin Shou was speechless at this, realizing that these ordinary things really cost him nothing! It’s a business where he earns without spending a penny!

Yet Qin Shou also felt the moral fiber of this city of virtue—indeed, its people were simple and kind.

By this time, the banks of the Xiang River were bustling with activity, crowded with throngs of people.

Cultivators capable of flight took to the skies, but they were considerate enough not to fly too high. Their altitude was a representation of their strength—the stronger the individual, the higher they flew. If someone of greater power appeared at the same altitude, others would lower themselves, and those with stronger abilities would rise a bit more.

This fully demonstrated the strict hierarchical system of this world.

Many ordinary cultivators were present, but the one who flew highest was all by himself—a man dressed in black, with a robust frame and a back like a tiger and waist like a wasp, the very image one might describe. Despite his formidable appearance, his face was surprisingly gentle.

Although he stood at the highest point, he greeted the people around him every now and then, showing no signs of arrogance but instead emanating a sense of modesty, gentleness, and politeness.

"That’s Yao Bofu, the top talent of the Yu Family," the old scam artist introduced.

Sun Wukong nodded and said, "He’s quite capable."

Upon this remark, the people around them scattered with a whoosh, looking at Sun Wukong, Qin Shou, and the old scam artist as if they were fools. That look wasn’t just one of disbelief, but also mixed with scorn and distaste.

A dissatisfied voice said, "Monkey, you sure talk big, saying the eldest son is ’quite capable.’ What, do you think you’re very strong yourself?"

"Monkey, if you were so skilled, why don’t you go stand up in the sky? No skill and all talk, that’s just begging for a beating."

"Find somewhere else to stand. We don’t welcome you here!" Someone even bluntly told them to leave.

...

Clearly, Yao Bofu’s status here was exceptional, a status not just based on his power but also his virtue. These people truly adored him, not just out of fear.

If they’d been anyone else, they would have likely backed down, but the trio before them were all hard cases!

One, an old scam artist who feared things wouldn’t cause enough trouble!

One, a Rabbit whose eyes glinted with excitement at the sight of Yao Bofu’s various accessories, silently taking notes.

And one, a Monkey whose arrogance knew no bounds!

So, the old swindler stood with hands on hips and shouted, "This is by the Xiang River, not inside Lingling Ancient City! By what right do you say I’m not welcome here? I won’t leave, what can you do about it?"

The result of his shouting was that even more people took notice, and soon someone called out, "It was this old swindler who scammed me into buying tickets! Old swindler, give back my money!"

Upon hearing this, the old swindler quickly rubbed his face and turned to run, shouting as he did so, "You’ve got the wrong person!"

A crowd was about to chase after him when Sun Wukong stepped forward to block them, saying, "I, how can I not make a comment about him?"

The crowd halted, and then someone laughed, "Monkey, you haven’t even transformed, probably aren’t even past the stage of pulling Qi into your body, right? With such a cultivation base, you dare to comment on our great young master? Our great young master became an Earthly Immortal years ago!"

"Nowadays, with no Heavenly Immortals emerging, our great young master is the number one in the world! Recklessly making comments, aren’t you afraid of biting your own tongue?!"

"Exactly! Two little monsters like you dare to be so arrogant. If it weren’t for our presence here, in some other place, you’d probably have been beaten to death already."

"Monkey, if you don’t agree, why don’t you stand in a line beside our great young master? I bet you don’t have the guts, do you?"

"Haha..."

...

Sun Wukong was immediately furious!

At that time, many cultivators in the vicinity turned their gazes over, frowning and looking askance at Sun Wukong and Qin Shou. Seeing they were two untransformed little monsters, they all faced them with cold expressions, and snorts of disdain were frequent.

Those with a better temper said nothing.

Those with a worse temper cursed, "Ignorant fools, looking for trouble, aren’t you?"

A young Taoist in the crowd directly started to scold, "Where did such a clueless thing come from!" At the same time, he unleashed his own momentum, pressing down on them, bellowing, "Kneel down and apologize now!"

Once this person made a move, others laughed, saying, "A disciple of the Yao Clan has taken action!"

"I know him, he is a young disciple of the Yao Clan, named Yao Hui! When I passed by the Yao Clan, I saw him leading a horse for the Yao Clan’s son!"

"To be able to lead a horse for the son, he must be a cultivator! Haha... Now those two monsters are going to get it!"

The crowd rejoiced secretly, but their discussions were loud and unreserved, as if intentionally broadcasting them for all to hear.

Yao Hui, far from being ashamed of leading horses, rather arrogantly raised his head and yelled, "Monkey Demon, Rabbit Demon, if you won’t kneel now, then when will you?"

In Yao Hui’s view, monsters that couldn’t even fly, let alone transform, were the bottom of the barrel among little monsters, garbage among garbage! Although he was just a disciple that had only entered cultivation, he at least came from a distinguished family; how could he be compared to such trifles?

Thus, full of confidence, he unleashed his full momentum, striving for a powerful impression in front of the many citizens of Lingling Ancient City!

Feeling the supposedly immense but actually feeble momentum from the other side, Qin Shou and Sun Wukong were both a bit stupefied. After exchanging a glance, Sun Wukong said, "Rabbit, this is mainly your affair. I don’t want to ruin your business, what should we do?"

Qin Shou countered, "If we tolerate for a moment, will you get angry?"

Sun Wukong nodded, "Angry!"

Qin Shou asked, "What about stepping back?"

Sun Wukong replied, "Even angrier."

Qin Shou continued to inquire, "Can we take him down?"

Sun Wukong understood that Qin Shou was referring to Yao Bofu, not this novice in front of them. After a brief contemplation, he replied, "We’d only know after a fight."

Hearing this, the people around them laughed, especially Yao Hui. Initially, he had been a little worried that he had encountered powerful monsters in disguise, but now it seemed they really were just two little monsters! He wasn’t afraid of not being able to take on these two little monsters because his master was behind him! A master of Qi Refining and God Transformation, suppressing two little monsters would be child’s play, wouldn’t it?

So, full of confidence, Yao Hui was about to speak...

But he was rudely interrupted by a wave of Rabbit’s hand, "Shut your mouth first!"

Yao Hui subconsciously closed his mouth... then realized something was off and his old face turned red with anger!

Qin Shou said to Sun Wukong, "Some say that to endure for a moment would lead to calm seas, to step back would open up a vast sky. But I don’t buy any of that. In my view, to endure for a moment makes the anger grow, to step back only increases the sense of loss! If we can take them down, why endure at all! Let’s do it!"
