The Darling of Heaven Owns a Rip-off Shop

At this moment, Tang Fengyue finally understood why the aloof Ice Swordman, Dugu Yan, was willing to stay at this little tavern doing odd jobs.

”Wait, Boss Tian, wait!” Tang Fengyue finally snapped back to reality and called out.

Tianmiao ignored him and continued walking forward.

”Wait, Boss Tian, I...” Tang Fengyue kept shouting.

Tianmiao suddenly stopped, slowly turned around, and looked at Tang Fengyue.

Tang Fengyue was delighted and was about to say something.

But Tianmiao said blandly, ”Remember to compensate. That table is very expensive.”

After speaking, she turned and walked away.

Tang Fengyue choked, watching Tianmiao’s figure disappear behind the curtain.

Then, the next moment, his view went black as a shadow blocked his way.

Dugu Yan silently stood in front of him, looking down, and said gloomily, ”Sir, pay up. One thousand taels of silver.”

”What? It’s just a table, how can it be so expensive, is this a black shop?” Tang Fengyue widened his eyes and protested.

”Yes,” Dugu Yan replied directly, ”Stay if you wish.”

Tang Fengyue: ”...” With such a direct response, he didn’t know how to refute.

In the end, Tang Fengyue obediently paid, then had to deal with the table himself. After all, the Pear Blossom Needles on it were highly toxic, and if someone else handled it carelessly, it could be deadly.

Dugu Yan took the money, handed it over to Kong Hou, and went back to his work.

Tang Fengyue silently dealt with the table on one side. Xu Lang came over and whispered, ”Young Hero Tang, remember, don’t make a move inside the store in the future. I feel like even if we all team up, we might not be a match for the boss.”

”Hmm,” Tang Fengyue replied gloomily, clearly not in a good mood.

”But, Young Hero Tang, you’re really impressive. You actually made the long-lost Intense Rain Pear Blossom Needle,” Xu Lang sincerely praised him.

”What’s the use? My Intense Rain Pear Blossom Needle is probably the most pathetic among all, the only one fired without drawing blood,” Tang Fengyue said grimly.

”Oh, don’t think like that. Boss Tian is not an ordinary person, nothing surprising happens here. You’re really amazing, a genius, a genius!” Xu Lang nodded, genuinely admiring him.

Tang Fengyue’s mood finally lifted a bit. He looked up at Xu Lang and smiled, ”Thank you, I’ll treat you to drinks tonight.”

”Oh, how could I accept?” Xu Lang said, a bit embarrassed, ”I really think you’re amazing, I’m not trying to trick you into treating me.”

”I know.” Tang Fengyue finally showed a trace of a smile.

”Hey, you weren’t the first to try to take action against Sheng Yulin in the store.” With the evening’s drinks secured, Xu Lang was in a better mood and didn’t mind continuing to comfort Tang Fengyue.

”Oh?” Tang Fengyue didn’t react for a moment.

”It’s Dugu Yan.” Xu Lang pointed his thumb at Dugu Yan, who was cleaning, ”You’ve seen the consequence. He doesn’t even get a salary.”

Oh, right, the first one to make a move in the tavern seemed to be Dugu Yan! Tang Fengyue suddenly felt his luck wasn’t so bad. The previous person to make a move is now doing odd jobs without pay in the tavern. He only had to compensate for the table without any other punishment. Hmm, not bad, not bad.

Shen Hanshu listened to Xu Lang’s words from the side, turning his head and twitching his mouth. That rascal Xu Lang, is it really okay for him to be fooling kids like this? Is this really what happened with Dugu Yan? How did it change so much when it came out of his mouth?
