Chapter 1319: Chapter 1320: Flower-picking Thief

Immediately, all the patrons turned their gaze towards Xiong Qing. Although Xiong Qing didn’t have a great reputation in Great Wilderness City, his strength was undeniable, Wheel of Reincarnation Nine Transformations, a talent among his peers.

Yet now, he was actually sent flying by a single palm from this outsider man.

Xiong Qing noticed the peculiar stares from all around, and looking at the two servants endlessly kneeling before him, he seemed to feel an overwhelming humiliation. His face flushed with fury, he kicked the hotel manager and the shop assistant flying.

"You flower-picking thief, what a nerve, watch how I destroy you."

Xiong Qing roared loudly towards the two elders behind him, "Elders, catch this flower-picking thief for me and rid the people of harm."

The two elders were already unable to hold back. They were responsible for protecting Xiong Qing, and now upon hearing his command, they moved and instantly appeared behind Ye Mo, each grabbing one of Ye Mo’s shoulders.

"Young man, good cultivation, but pity you’ve offended someone you shouldn’t have."

One of the elders, eyes like eagles, said faintly.

"That kid surely isn’t from Great Wilderness City, dares to offend the Xiong Family. These two elders of the Xiong Family are twins. It’s said they’ve cultivated together for a thousand years; both have the strength of Divine Venerate One Soul."

"Even the Zhu Family wouldn’t dare offend Xiong Qing."

"Now with the two elders of the Xiong Family taking action, this kid might be in for a rough time."

"He’s too high-profile, hugging an exquisite woman in public. Xiong Qing is a notorious lecher; how could he miss this chance?"

Inside the tavern, many people started delighting in the misfortune, while a few looked at Ye Mo with some sympathy, knowing that anyone targeted by this Xiong Qing rarely met a good end.

"What’s all the fuss about?"

Suddenly, a woman’s voice came from the stairway of the tavern, and a green-clad woman, accompanied by two elders, slowly walked up the tavern.

The woman looked ordinary, yet carried a heroic demeanor, a flavor of "women not yielding to men."

"Isn’t that Miss Zhu from the Zhu Family, Zhu Jiu? Why are both the Zhu Family and Xiong Family here at the tavern simultaneously?"

"Heard they’re discussing maintaining order for the auction three days later, both families are here for that."

"This is said to be the largest auction in the history of Great Wilderness City; the hosts have entrusted the two families to maintain order."

Seeing the woman appear, the surrounding people started discussing again.

Upon Zhu Jiu’s appearance, Xiong Qing immediately wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "Zhu Jiu, I’m capturing a flower-picking thief; you sit aside and enjoy watching. Once I deal with this thief, we can discuss the auction’s order."

"Flower-picking thief?"

Zhu Jiu questioned and glanced at Ye Mo, seeing him holding an unconscious woman, she couldn’t help but laugh, "You don’t mean him, do you?"

"Indeed!"

Xiong Qing nodded.

"You fancy that unconscious woman, don’t you? Good, you continue; I’ll just watch."

Zhu Jiu laughed and found an empty table to sit down. She had a marriage with Xiong Qing, a political alliance. Zhu Jiu naturally resented it, but due to family pressure, she accepted it. If she caught Xiong Qing openly flirting with a woman, she could refuse the marriage on that ground.

"Zhu Jiu, how could I be that kind of person? You know my heart only has you."

Xiong Qing patted his chest and said righteously.

Zhu Jiu’s beauty was ordinary, but her methods were highly refined, a strong woman type. He felt accomplished if he could win her, so he restrained himself in front of Zhu Jiu.

"Kid, tell me, who is the woman you are holding? Why is she unconscious? Did you do something to her?"

Xiong Qing said coldly.

"If you don’t want to die, leave!"

Ye Mo was no longer patient to waste time with them.

"What did you say?"

Xiong Qing’s face turned livid, he roared, "You won’t cry until you’re in a coffin. Elders, seize him, and let’s interrogate him at Xiong Mansion."

With that said, the two elders simultaneously exerted force, trying to crush Ye Mo’s shoulders, but as they did, they felt not a person’s shoulders but a block of eternal iron.

Instantly, the elders’ faces turned extremely unpleasant. They were tough Divine Venerate One Soul experts, yet unable to prevail over a young man.

"Humph!"

Ye Mo sensed their exertion, shook his body, instantly sending the two elders flying.

Bang! Bang!

Accompanied by two loud noises, like thunder from a clear sky, everyone in the tavern was startled to see the two Divine Venerate One Soul elders of the Xiong Family break through the wall and fall from the third-floor tavern.

"How is this possible? The other party didn’t even strike but sent the two Divine Venerate One Soul elders flying?"

For a moment, everyone in the tavern was shocked, even Miss Zhu from the Zhu Family, Zhu Jiu, showed an incredible expression, as this youthful-looking twenty-year-old man had such terrifying strength, possibly at least Divine Venerate Two-Soul or even Divine Venerated Three Souls level.

While Xiong Qing was scared out of his wits, seemingly unable to comprehend that Ye Mo’s strength was so terrifying.

"Who are you really? Do you know the consequences of offending me?"

However, Xiong Qing stayed calm, after all, Zhu Jiu was still watching.

"You want to flaunt your family background to me again? To show your power and prestige?"

Ye Mo said coldly, "My wife is unconscious from grave injuries, so I’m holding her instead of placing her in a cold space. But you covet my wife’s beauty and are provoking me intentionally, aren’t you?"

"Nonsense, who’s coveting your wife’s beauty?"

Xiong Qing’s face slightly changed, he quickly explained, "You are holding an unconscious woman in broad daylight, it’s easy for people to misunderstand, and you admitted being a flower-picking thief, I naturally need to apprehend you."

Xiong Qing’s voice was still loud, seemingly trying to use this point to exonerate himself, apprehending a flower-picking thief was a rightful thing.

"You labeled me as a flower-picking thief; we don’t know each other, yet just by seeing me holding an unconscious woman, you assume I’m a flower-picking thief. Could it be you specialize in catching flower-picking thieves?"

Ye Mo said calmly.

Ye Mo’s words were very clever. He could guess that this Xiong Qing must have also committed flower-picking acts, indirectly slapping Xiong Qing in the face.

"Hahaha!"

Instantly, the tavern erupted in laughter, even Zhu Jiu covered her mouth, laughing aloud.
