"Boss, there’s a group of people outside insisting that we compensate them for their losses!"
"Losses? What losses?" Niu Dali found it utterly baffling.
To ensure caution during this period, he and his men hadn’t even stepped out of Xiyue Inn.
He turned his head to Zhang Xiaoqiang, "Was it you who went out and caused trouble?"
Zhang Xiaoqiang called Zuang Tianqu, "Big brother, you’re falsely accusing me. We’ve been together all this time, when have you seen me leave?"
"Exactly, if it wasn’t you, then where is this so-called compensation claim coming from?"
"Old Five, explain clearly, what’s going on?" Zhang Xiaoqiang demanded.
"The compensation they’re asking for isn’t because of us, it’s because of the Master!"
"Master? This gets even more confusing! Since the literary meeting, the Master has already left, what compensation do they want?" Niu Dali was even more puzzled.
"They want compensation for the battle at the literary meeting. They say it was because of the Master’s actions that their property suffered damages, and that’s why they’re looking for us!"
At this point, everyone finally understood what was happening, and Zhang Xiaoqiang was so furious he jumped up from his chair.
"What? These guys are really saying that?"
Old Five nodded.
"Who are they?"
"All people from the major academies in the city!"
"Well, I, Zhang Xiaoqiang, never thought of myself as a good person. I’ve done a few bad things when I claimed my own territory, but today I’ve truly learned something!"
As he spoke, Zhang Xiaoqiang’s teeth almost cracked, "There are actually such shameless people in this world. At that time, the Master shouldn’t have saved them, let them die directly!"
The faces of the rest of the crowd were also filled with anger.
After all, this incident was unreasonable in both sentiment and logic.
Everyone was watching during the battle at the literary meeting that day; Shuming was so arrogant. If not for Xue An’s timely intervention, the entire Xihua City might have collapsed.
And now, just because of some property loss, these academies turned faces and even came here demanding compensation.
Isn’t this shamelessness?
Just when everyone was filled with righteous indignation, Ren Ning remained very calm and got up to walk outside.
Sheng Hongqian grabbed her, "Where are you going?"
"Naturally, I’m going outside to negotiate with those people. They’re looking for the Master; but since the Master is not here, as a disciple I must stand up!" Ren Ning’s expression was very calm.
Sheng Hongqian shook her head, "You can’t go, at least not just like this, because this matter is not that simple, there must be something fishy!"
Yao Yachao, who had been listening on the sidelines, waved his folding fan, "Miss Sheng is right, there’s definitely something fishy about this!"
"These people didn’t come early or late, but chose to come when the Master is absent, that’s one suspicious point!"
"And then there’s the excuse they’ve chosen, demanding some kind of compensation. Saying it out loud is enough to make people laugh their heads off; it’s unreasonable in both sentiment and logic, yet these people insist on it, that’s another suspicious point!"
"So I think the real purpose of these people isn’t about this, but rather to take advantage of the period when the Master is absent to deal with you and me, hoping to drive us out of Xihua City. That’s what they really want!"
Yao Yachao’s analysis was reasonable and logical, making the seaters nod in agreement.
But Ren Ning was completely unmoved, "You’re right, but even knowing these people’s ill intentions, what can be done? Are we supposed to hide and not show our faces?"
