The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 108: 108 Apologize Chapter 108: 108 Apologize Liu Daquan meant that, but Gao Zhan and the others didn’t know it.

In the message from Liu Daquan, it was said that this Young Master Jing Yan was an esteemed guest.

However, Gao Zhan and his companions had no idea about Jing Yan’s actual strength; they thought their duty was only to escort Jing Yan to Sinful Canyon and then to safely lead him out of Moonlight Forest.

“Fang De, what’s the use of spouting nonsense?

If you don’t want to go, you can stay in Black Teeth Village!”

Beside Gao Zhan, a beautiful woman in a red dress glared at Fang De, the black-clothed Martial Artist, and scolded.

“Heh heh heh…” Fang De immediately touched his head and started laughing.

In fact, he was just grumbling and felt that the reward of a thousand Spirit Stones was a little low, but he wasn’t really going to refuse the commission.

“Sister Gao Feng, don’t you know what I’m like?

I was just talking off the cuff; how could I not go with you and our captain?” Fang De said with a wide grin.

The others also smiled.

They knew that Gao Feng wasn’t really angry.

Having spent a lot of time together, they understood Gao Feng’s character: she was straightforward and liked to joke with fellow team members.

“Alright!

I know all of you think the reward for this mission is too low.

However, when we meet that guest later, it would be best not to mention this matter,” Gao Zhan said, his gaze sweeping over the group of Martial Artists behind him.

“Captain, don’t worry!”

“We will definitely not upset that guest.”

“Exactly, with the Family Head Liu valuing this guest so much, he must be someone of great status!

Our Fiery Flame team promotes harmony and profits; if we satisfy the guest this time, perhaps he will introduce many more missions to our Fiery Flame team in the future.”

The Martial Artists said, smiling amongst themselves.

As they spoke, they began to file into the Black Teeth Tavern.

At that moment, the tavern’s main hall was relatively quiet.

Therefore, the entrance of Gao Zhan and his team caused a relatively big commotion.

Gazes shifted, falling upon the Martial Artists of the Fiery Flame Adventure Team.

“Flame, bullying people again, huh?”

Gao Feng, her beautiful eyes narrowed, stared at the hook-nosed Martial Artist, Flame, who was now preparing to kneel and apologize to Jing Yan while also offering to compensate two hundred Spirit Stones.

Flame rolled his eyes, then side-stepped to look at Gao Zhan, Gao Feng, and the others from the Fiery Flame team.

The Fiery Flame Adventure Team typically entered Moonlight Forest about twice a year, and Flame, being a local thug who loitered around the vicinity of Black Teeth Village, naturally knew the siblings Gao Zhan and Gao Feng and was aware that Gao Zhan was the captain of the adventure team.

Normally, the two parties had little contact.

Although Flame liked to bully people, he didn’t carelessly provoke an adventure team.

Members of an adventure team weren’t afraid to fight to the death in battle, and most were tough, honed by the edge of the sword, not easily antagonized.

“It has nothing to do with you!” Flame said, glancing at Gao Feng who had spoken, his eyes slanting and his attitude defiant.

Though he didn’t want to provoke Gao Zhan and the others, he wasn’t truly afraid of the Fiery Flame Adventure Team.

“Flame, this lady here can’t stand seeing scum like you bullying strangers.

Have some sense and beat it, or don’t blame this lady for not being polite,” Gao Feng huffed coldly.

She was naturally hot-tempered and forthright in character.

When she saw Jing Yan, she guessed that this young warrior in green clothes must be their guest at Fiery Flame.

Being bullied as a guest, it was Fiery Flame’s responsibility to protect him, so naturally, she couldn’t stand idly by.

Jing Yan also recognized Gao Zhan and the others, knowing that these twenty or thirty martial artists who had just entered the tavern were members of the Fiery Flame Adventure Team.

He had meant to greet them, but before he could speak, the female warrior in a red dress had already confronted the local bully, Hua Bao.

“Gao Zhan, what do you mean by this?

What, does your Fiery Flame Adventure Team also want to meddle in my business?” Hua Bao narrowed his eyes and looked at Gao Zhan with a cold expression on his face.

Gao Zhan was indeed the captain of the Fiery Flame Adventure Team.

Gao Zhan frowned and glanced at Jing Yan again.

Honestly, if it weren’t for the fact that Jing Yan was his guest, he might not have intervened.

But now, he had no choice.

Offending a local snake like Hua Bao was not worth it for Gao Zhan.

Hua Bao’s own strength wasn’t much to speak of, but in this area, he knew all kinds of lowlifes.

Offending such people would bring a lot of trouble.

“Is this brother perhaps Young Master Jing Yan?” Gao Zhan didn’t respond to Hua Bao first, but instead greeted Jing Yan with a cupped fist salute.

“Indeed.

You must be Gao Zhan, the captain of Fiery Flame, right?” Jing Yan also greeted Gao Zhan with a cupped fist salute, smiling as he spoke.

Hua Bao’s brow furrowed when he saw Gao Zhan conversing with Jing Yan.

He hadn’t expected this unfamiliar young man to actually know the people from the Fiery Flame Adventure Team.

And the many martial artists in the hall also came to a realization: no wonder the young warrior in green clothes could remain so calm and composed; he knew people from the adventure team.

The Fiery Flame Adventure Team was also quite a renowned team, especially the team’s Gao Zhan and his sister Gao Feng, both of whom were extremely formidable Ninth Layer Heaven martial artists.

Since he knew people from the Fiery Flame Adventure Team, it was no wonder he was more confident.

“Hua Bao, Young Master Jing Yan is our friend.

I think we should let this matter slide,” Gao Zhan said, looking at Hua Bao with a smile.

“Oh?” Hua Bao’s mouth curled into a sneer.

“Since he’s someone Captain Gao Zhan knows, I’ll step back.

Captain Gao Zhan, I’m giving you face here.

Your friend has taken my seat, and out of respect for you, I’ll let it go if he apologizes to me.”

In Hua Bao’s view, his words were already giving Gao Zhan a lot of face.

And by having Jing Yan apologize to him, it would also allow him to save face in front of the other martial artists.

If he just let it go, wouldn’t others say that he, Hua Bao, was afraid of the Fiery Flame Adventure Team?

Hearing Hua Bao’s words, Jing Yan started to laugh.

He had been about to act, ready to deal with Hua Bao, when Gao Zhan and the others came in, which was why he had delayed.

Now, with Hua Bao asking for an apology, was that possible?

Keep in mind that Jing Yan hadn’t done anything wrong in this situation at all.

The seat in the tavern wasn’t owned by Hua Bao; it was only because he was a local bully that others feared him and didn’t dare to take the seat.

For Jing Yan, a martial artist who surpassed the Early Innate Realm, to apologize to a Martial Arts practitioner of the seventh or eighth level was, of course, impossible!

Jing Yan narrowed his eyes and a cold smile played upon his lips.

“Young Master Jing Yan, what do you think…” Gao Zhan, not aware of Jing Yan’s strength, also wanted to smooth things over.

So after Hua Bao’s words, Gao Zhan’s intention was to have Jing Yan apologize to resolve the conflict.
