C416 He Saw Hua Ruojun Again
"Little brat, you haven't returned home yet. Aren't you satisfied after earning so much spirit jade?" A person from the purple cave walked over. His words were full of provocation.
"Are you here to return the spirit jade?" Wan Hao gave him an indifferent look and said, "If not, scram to the side. Don't be an eyesore here."
This was just a servant of the Purple Cave. How dare he speak like this? He naturally would not give a good face.
"You... How dare you behave atrociously in Phoenix City? How dare you make Young Master Li Chengxuan write an IOU? You really don't know the difference between life and death."
"You owe me a spirit jade, yet you still dare to threaten me. Are you speaking on behalf of the Purple Cave?" Wan Hao glanced at him and said, "You are just a puny servant, yet you dare to speak such nonsense. Get lost!"
He lightly scolded. Others might not feel anything, but to this servant, it sounded like heavenly thunder. His ears buzzed, and he plopped down on the ground. His expression changed and he said, "You..."
Not far away, those people were shocked. The purple-clothed man slowly walked over and looked down at Wan Hao. He said, "You are so young, yet you are so impressive."
"You are overpraising me." Wan Hao replied casually. He didn't look at him, but at the beautiful scenery of the Purple Flame Palace's Immortal Stone Workshop.
"Do you really think that I am praising you? You are indeed a brat whose hair hasn't fully grown yet." The people beside him mocked him.
"People at your level can only understand this kind of meaning." Wan Hao glanced at him, then stopped Wu Liang who wanted to come over, and told him to stay at the side and not get involved.
"I heard that my younger brother Li Chengxuan owes you ninety jin of spirit jade. I wonder if it's true or not?" The purple-clothed man asked faintly.
"That's right. Are you here to pay the debt on his behalf?" Wan Hao replied unhurriedly.
"Give me the promissory note. Let me see if it's true or not." The man in purple stretched out his hand and demanded from Wan Hao.
Wan Hao took out a piece of paper and handed it to him with his fingers.
The purple-clothed man did not look at it. Instead, he threw it to the person beside him and said, "Take a closer look. Is it the words' Bearing the Comet '?"
"It's fake. How can this be the promissory note that Second Young Master wrote? It was clearly forged." The person beside him didn't even look at the paper after receiving it. He directly tore it into pieces. Then, he fiercely rubbed it with his hand, turning it into powder. They all fell to the ground.
"Your courage really isn't small, even daring to scam me, splashing dirty water on my little brother's head." The purple-clothed man sneered. He stared at Wan Hao and said, "I think you all really are crazy about poverty!"
"How can these little brats, who are still wet behind the ears, know how to differentiate between stone and stone? It is obvious that they want to extort money from me. If I don't teach them a lesson, it will be hard for them to get away with it."
"Someone, bring them out and beat them half to death."
On the side, those people all berated, wanting to pull Wan Hao away.
"How can you all be like this?" Wu Liang was incomparably furious. He was about to launch a powerful attack to suppress Wan Hao, but Wan Hao stopped him.
"It is only right and proper for you to pay back your debts. Don't you think that your methods are despicable?" Wan Hao said in a cold voice.
"Little bastard, what nonsense are you spouting? Who owes you spirit jade?" The person beside the purple-clothed man berated.
"Take out the real promissory note. If you don't have it, I will break your leg today. You dare to blackmail someone at such a young age!"
"You..." Not far away, Wu Liang wanted to pounce over and bite off a few pieces of their flesh.
"Teach these little brats a lesson. Just break their arms and legs. Don't take their lives. If you don't take out dozens of jin of spirit jade today, you can't let them go."
"There's no need to talk nonsense with them. Just drag them out and beat them half to death first!"
The people around the purple-clothed man surrounded them, trying to pull Wan Hao away. They didn't dare to make a move in the courtyard, because they were afraid that the Purple Flame Palace's Immortal Stone Workshop would get angry.
"Get away from me!" Wan Hao scanned these people and said, "Don't you want to see the promissory notes? Let me take a closer look."
Speaking up to this point, he took out another piece of paper, but did not hand it over. He only waved it in front of everyone's eyes.
"This is..." The person who tore the paper apart revealed a shocked expression. This was clearly the real promissory note. That piece just now was fake, and he had crushed it without even looking at it.
The purple-clothed male turned around and shot him a glance. It immediately made that person tremble. Then, his eyes revealed vicious light, and he was just about to throw himself forward and seize the true promissory note.
"You guys are really bold. In broad daylight, you actually dare to behave atrociously in the Purple Flame Palace's Immortal Stone Workshop. Do you really not put the fairy here in your eyes?" Wan Hao berated loudly, and his voice spread far and wide.
In front of them, all the people who came to gamble heard him and looked back.
"What's going on?" A clear and melodious voice was heard. A young girl from the Purple Flame Palace's Immortal Stone Workshop asked.
"Fairy from the Purple Flame Palace, please forgive us. We had a few quarrels because of a sudden impulse." The purple-clothed man cupped his hands in front of him.
In the distance, the sound of a zither could be heard from between the halls and pavilions. He didn't ask any further questions.
"Mud monkey, you can do it!" The people beside the purple-clothed man all stared angrily at Wan Hao.
"Why are you all still thinking of causing trouble? Why don't we invite Fairy Hua Ruoyun from the Purple Flame Palace to come and judge us?" Wan Hao looked at these people and said with a sneer.
The purple-clothed man flicked his sleeve and walked forward. Those people followed closely behind him.
"Kid, keep the promissory note properly. Don't lose it." One of them looked over hatefully, his words sinister.
"Don't worry, I'll keep it well. I'll wait for you all to return the spirit jade." Wan Hao lightly flicked the promissory note, and then kept it in his sleeve.
The courtyard inside was even more serene. There was a lake in front of them. Although it was very small, it was clear and transparent. The shore was covered with old vines, making it extremely beautiful.
On the shore, the Spirit Field was piled up in a very natural manner.
On the lakeside, there was a pavilion built near the water. That place was actually covered in hazy immortal mist. The pavilion was hidden within the ancient trees, surrounded by lush greenery and shrouded in mist.
The sound of an ancient zither was precisely transmitted from that place, cleansing one's mind and making one involuntarily relax.
The sound of the zither was long and drawn-out, containing a gentle and beautiful feeling, refreshing and relaxing, the charm endless.
Even though there was a green shade separating them, surrounded by immortal mist, it was as if one could see a fairy lightly playing the zither in that pavilion. It was otherworldly and exceptional, not tainted by the aura of mortals, beautiful to the point of making one suffocate.
It was as if an illusory world had appeared, and the clouds were faintly discernible. Jade pavilions were faintly discernible, and a flawless woman stood alone in the clouds... This type of music caused one's emotions to rise and fall along with it, moving along with the tune.
If Wan Hao had not fought with saintess and Hua Ruoyun from the Purple Flame Palace previously, he was afraid that he would have been deceived by Hua Ruoyun's current appearance! Hua Ruoyun had become so extraordinary at this moment, but she was very domineering in the auction house. Thinking about the previous comparison, Wan Hao still maintained a sense of vigilance in his heart.
However, the current Hua Ruoyun was completely different from the past. She was fresh and refined, and the sound of the kite had a mysterious power that could affect people's emotions.
At this moment, all the fish in the lake were gathered in the clear water in front of the attic. They were swaying their heads and tails as if they were dancing. They were completely immersed in the music.
