"Brother, you cannot make things difficult for me like this," Manager Chu's voice was frigid as he spoke.
"This is interesting. But even if this person has Liu Ji Ya backing him, this matter won't be settled so easily, will it? Liu Ji Ya is a third-generation descendant, while Liu Zhengming is the eldest son of the second generation. Liu Ji Ya still has to clasp her hands and salute Liu Zhengming, calling him 'Elder Uncle'." Someone analyzed.
"Liu Ji Ya, I suppose that's your last trump card, isn't it? What a pity, it's just not enough!" Fang Xue sneered repeatedly, speaking as if Chu Hao, at this moment, had been driven to a dead end.
Yet Chu Hao, who stood at the center of the storm, remained as calm as ever, showing no hint of panic or fear. His expression remained unperturbed.
"What Liu Zhengming? I have no interest. Manager Chu, today I want you to explain something to me." Chu Hao said calmly. If this young man hadn't already proven himself with his actions, no one would have guessed that this unhurried young man, unfazed by anything, was the culprit behind the shattered pile of glazed jade.
"When Liu Ji Ya gave me this item, she said the Drunken Immortal Pavilion would receive me with the highest standards. Is this your way of treating guests?"
"Still talking about Liu Ji Ya? Unless Liu Ji Ya herself is here to support you, do you think you can call the shots here just by relying on something she casually tossed you? How ridiculous." Fang Xue mused to herself. Although she was scathing towards Chu Hao, her envy flared upon seeing everyone revere Liu Ji Ya so much. Therefore, her previous thought was mainly directed more towards Liu Ji Ya.
But when she looked again, she was stunned speechless.
Manager Chu said nothing, his eyes fixed intently on the command medallion in Chu Hao's hand. Then, his entire face turned pale.
"The Liu family ancestor's command medallion!"
Bai Luo glanced at it, and his heart was deeply shaken.
Seeing this command medallion was equivalent to seeing the Liu family ancestor himself.
Even if Liu Zhengming were here, he would have to bow in salute before this command medallion!
"The Liu family ancestor even gave this command medallion to Miss Liu Ji Ya? It seems he truly intends to groom Miss Liu Ji Ya to become the future helmsman of the Liu family. With this command medallion and control over the Silver Guard, Miss Liu Ji Ya's influence is unstoppable!"
Bai Luo understood the intricate web of power and status within the Liu family. Therefore, when he looked at Chu Hao, his gaze became even more respectful.
Liu Ji Ya even gave this command medallion to Chu Hao. How much did she value Chu Hao?
Today, he had come to the right place!
He successfully stood up for Chu Hao. What did offending Liu Zhengming matter then?
"Now, do you still wish to take me away for questioning?" Chu Hao slowly said to Manager Chu. The calmer his gaze was, the more pressure Manager Chu felt suddenly increase.
"I wouldn't dare." Manager Chu forced a bitter smile, bowing and clasping his hands towards the command medallion.
Daring to disrespect the command medallion was disrespecting the Liu family ancestor himself. If word got out, he would be killed on the spot the next day, his corpse chopped into dog food.
Even if Manager Chu was a tenth-stage Great Grandmaster Realm cultivator.
"Very good. I just said, I want you to explain something to me. Is it true that you couldn't accommodate us and wanted my sister and me to leave the Drunken Immortal Pavilion?!"
Chu Hao's voice was very faint, very soft, like a gentle breeze blowing by, but at the last few words, it was like a rolling clap of thunder, echoing throughout the Drunken Immortal Pavilion.
Manager Chu's mouth twitched. He glanced at Chu Ling Er, then at Fang Xue beside her, and sighed inwardly.
"I didn't know that Miss Chu was Young Master Chu's sister. It is true that I first ordered my subordinate to inform Miss Chu to leave. This mistake... is mine." Manager Chu knew this matter couldn't be hidden. In front of the command medallion, he dared not conceal anything.
"Since you know your mistake, then, I've shattered the painting. Will you explain this to me?" Chu Hao said.
"I understand."
Manager Chu bowed. His formerly superior demeanor, looking at Chu Hao as if he were an ant crawling at his feet, was gone.
Because this ant was carrying a colossal mountain. If he was even a little careless, this colossal mountain would crush him.
Compared to the colossal mountain, Manager Chu was merely an ant.
Just for a trivial matter of making Chu Ling Er leave, it resulted in such a huge commotion. He now regretted it immensely.
"Get rid of this woman. I don't want to see her again." Chu Hao didn't even look at Fang Xue, as if Fang Xue wasn't worthy of his gaze.
"You wouldn't dare!" Fang Xue's smile twisted, she said coldly, "I am friends with Liu Pian. Who dares to drive me out!"
Liu Pian was one of Liu Zhengming's daughters. Because Fang Xue was Liu Pian's friend, Manager Chu agreed to force Chu Ling Er to leave. Otherwise, how could a mere Fang Xue have the right to order him around?
Moreover, it was also because of Liu Pian that Fang Xue could stay in the most expensive room. Otherwise, with the exorbitant rent of this room, a Grandmaster Realm cultivator would find it very difficult to afford.
Fang Xue had been staying in the Drunken Immortal Pavilion's most luxurious room until now without paying even a single primordial stone.
Seeing Manager Chu frown, Fang Xue's face showed an arrogant expression. She said fearlessly: "Hmph, it's just a small command medallion. What's so special about it? Manager Chu, why are you so surprised..."
"Presumptuous!"
Suddenly, Manager Chu roared, his voice erupting from his lungs like thunder during a rainstorm.
"Who do you think you are to dare insult this command medallion!"
Manager Chu's figure flickered, disappearing from his spot. His eyes were filled with rage, and in an instant, he was in front of Fang Xue.
In Fang Xue's eyes, filled with panic, he swung his palm, delivering a fierce slap downwards.
Manager Chu was a tenth-stage Grandmaster Realm cultivator. How terrifying his angry slap would be goes without saying.
Fang Xue screamed, her entire body flung out like a rag, heavily falling onto the street outside.
Her entire face was red and stinging from the blow. Her mouth was full of blood, and several of her teeth had been knocked out.
