Shangguan Xiao possessed the Innate Essence.
She was already arrogant in Wang City, let alone on this small island.
She deliberately raised her voice when speaking.
For no other reason than to make sure Su Muwan could hear her.
She looked contemptuously at Su Muwan's table!
Rumors said that Su Muwan from Jiang City had exceptional martial talent!
Such rumors had even reached her ears in Wang City.
But!
How laughable!
How could a young miss from some tiny family possibly compare to her, who possessed the Innate Essence?
Wasn't this just an indirect insult to her?
After all...
Comparing a young miss from a insignificant family to someone from the prestigious Shangguan family was clearly an insult in itself.
She had heard that Yuwen Hua had suffered a setback when visiting the Su family in Jiang City.
But that Yuwen Hua was nothing but trash.
She was different - she was a woman who had stood at the pinnacle of Wang City since childhood.
With her Innate Essence, she would at least reach the Peak Realm.
Not to mention now... at just 23 years old, she was already a super genius at mid-stage Mastery Realm!!
What right did Su Muwan have to compare with her?
Indeed, Shangguan Xiao cast that sarcastic, disdainful gaze toward Su Muwan.
Su Muwan, aren't you supposed to be so great? Let's see if you can endure this!
If you endure it, I'll mock you even more!
If you can't endure it, I'll beat you down and then mock you!
As Shangguan Xiao spoke.
The atmosphere in the restaurant suddenly grew quiet.
Gulp!
The sound of swallowing could be heard.
They first looked at Su Muwan, whose expression was gloomy (stiff).
Truth be told, Su Muwan's reputation in Jiang City was incredibly vast.
So vast that martial artists from other cities had heard of her.
Names like: Jiang City's Tyrant, Jiang City's Demon, This World's Evil, The Destroyer of Dragon King Palace...
All these exaggerated titles had reached their ears.
This led them to view Su Muwan as an extremely terrifying figure!
And now looking at her.
(Natural charisma comparison) Su Muwan was surrounded by a murderous aura, indeed looking quite formidable!
Rumors said that if someone provoked Su Muwan, even the bystanders would suffer!
But!
They then looked at Shangguan Xiao.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
It's fine, they had Shangguan Xiao and Long Jiuxiao here.
One was a super genius from the Shangguan family, the other was the Dragon Commander from the Long family!
How could such a combination lose?!
Shangguan Xiao's face showed disdain.
Long Jiuxiao also looked at Su Muwan's gloomy (stiff) expression.
He seemed to finally remember who she was, and his eyes darkened as he coldly said, "So you're Su Muwan?"
"I heard you thoroughly humiliated my sister Long Xiayue last time?"
"You even threw our Dragon King Palace's Dragon King into the sea to feed sharks?"
"You clearly don't take our Long family! Don't take our Dragon King Palace seriously at all!!"
At this point.
Boom!
A powerful aura burst forth from Long Jiuxiao's body.
Boom boom boom!!
Peak of mid-stage Mastery Realm!!! Just one step away from entering late-stage Mastery Realm!!!
Such powerful talent shocked everyone present!
Dragon Commander! Impressive!
Shangguan Xiao looked on with admiration, Brother Jiuxiao would soon enter late-stage Mastery Realm!
At that time!
Everyone would envy her, Shangguan Xiao, for having such good judgment!!
Everyone in the venue sighed slightly.
They all felt sorry for Su Muwan.
This Miss Su had come at the wrong time.
This place... was essentially a trap set for her!
Jiang Xueqi watched with excitement.
Finally!
Someone could teach Su Muwan a lesson!
She gleefully looked toward Su Muwan.
Su Muwan, you poisonous woman!!
Weren't you so arrogant before?
Yes! In Jiang City! No one could control you!
But! On this Thorn Island! Where powerful families and even Western Kingdom experts gather!!
You, Su Muwan!! What do you amount to!!
Jiang Xueqi trembled with excitement.
She screamed internally.
Quick!
Long Jiuxiao, teach Su Muwan a lesson!
Shui Yue also watched Su Muwan with interest.
So this is the Su Muwan that the master spoke of.
Very well, let me see just how powerful you really are.
How will you break out of this situation?
If you endure it, the master might be disappointed, thinking you're unworthy to be her opponent.
But if you don't endure it, the master might think you're incredibly stupid, after all, facing the Shangguan and Long families.
How can you possibly turn this around?! With those weak followers of yours?
On Su Muwan's side.
She was completely stunned.
Utterly stunned.
Her expression wasn't gloomy, but rigid.
She clenched her fists, wanting to cry but having no tears.
Really!
Who had she offended!
She hadn't provoked them! Why did they have to keep coming at her one after another!
The Long family she could understand, since she'd already crossed them before.
But!
What was Shangguan Xiao's problem?! Had she ever offended her?! Why did she have to mock her!
Wuwuwu, sometimes she really felt exhausted.
Jiang Zixuan and others took a deep breath, knowing that arguing or fighting here would be meaningless.
Only through showing their strength in the competition could they silence them!
So.
Jiang Zixuan looked toward Qin Luo's direction: "Luo...??"
He stopped mid-sentence, stunned.
Where was he?
Meanwhile, Long Jiuxiao, seeing the atmosphere had been built up enough.
Slowly stood up, looking at Su Muwan with icy eyes, and began:
"Su Muwan, if you kneel down now and cripple yourself, kowtow and apologize to my Long family."
"I might spare you..."
Slap!
"Ugh--!!"
The voice suddenly stopped.
Following a crisp slapping sound.
A thunderous noise echoed throughout the restaurant: "Who do you think you are to bark so wildly here!!"
"Dragon Commander? In front of my young miss! You're nothing but a maggot!!"
As the words fell
Who was it?!
Everyone was shocked and quickly looked over.
Only to see.
That follower beside Su Muwan... had moved with ghost-like speed and slapped Long Jiuxiao across the face?!
Long Jiuxiao's face was tilted, clearly stunned by the slap.
His pupils shook, his cheek burning with pain.
Gasps of shock echoed around him.
He suddenly came to his senses, his expression filled with disbelief.
What...
I..... got slapped?
When Long Jiuxiao realized this, his face instantly twisted in distortion, and he turned to yell at the person who had slapped him: "You dare..."
Slap!
"Ugh--!"
Before he could finish.
Qin Luo delivered another slap, his face dark as he coldly said: "This slap is for your blindness!!"
Slap! Immediately followed by another!
"This slap is for your failure to recognize worthiness!"
Slap! Another one!
"This slap is for your poor judgment!"
Slap slap slap slap slap!!!!!
"These slaps!! Are for being too ugly!! So ugly that my young miss can't even eat her meal!"
Thud!!
After several slaps.
Long Jiuxiao fell to the ground with a twitching expression, his cheeks severely swollen.
His expression was completely bewildered.
Eh...
What... happened?
Why can't I... move?
