Xing Nan was reluctant to take action before because he knew the rumors would never end and would even get worse.
If he doesn't take action, others will say he is too arrogant.
He took action. If he failed, it would be detrimental to his health and reputation.
But if they win, the matter will not end with this. The heroes feel that their faces are shameless. Under the influence of rumors, for the sake of face, they have to find stronger people to challenge Xing Nan.
Even if Xing Nan was very calm and defeated Jian Ling with just one move without injuring Jian Ling, and did not respond to Jian Ling's insults with words, it just did not make the heroes of the Four Kingdoms too excited.
"Then it's true that Jian Ling gave up after just one move. She was scolded outside for so long. I thought she was so capable!"
"These so-called heroes are nothing but flowers cultivated by the academy. They are only for sight but useless!"
"It's not unreasonable for Xing Nan to look down on them. He actually let a woman who can only scream but not have much strength come out. No, she gave up in one move. How embarrassing!"
"Aren't there spiritual heroes coming from Kurosawa and Capricorn Kingdoms? And they are two men. Why don't they come out to challenge us?"
"I didn't come out before, and I don't dare to come out now. Their representatives were defeated in one move. I really don't know how many moves they can withstand!"
Rumors and rumors spread like a tidal wave, making all the heroes of the Three Kingdoms except Piaoyun Kingdom blush.
Some people are deliberately spreading these words. There are not many of them, but most of the guests in this inn are people from the Piaoyun Kingdom. They are more willing to spread such rumors. After all, Xing Nan is an outstanding representative of the Piaoyun Kingdom, and he just made a move
Defeated Jian Ling of the Capricorn Kingdom.
It is difficult to find the starting point of the rumors, but there are many people who spread the rumors. In addition, this is the territory of Piaoyun Kingdom. It is difficult for the heroes of Kurosawa, Capricorn, and Youyan to get angry here, so they can only hold back their anger.
in the belly.
There are always people who can’t hold it back!
boom!
Someone was banging the table in the inn again. It was a handsome representative of the Youyan Kingdom. His name was Jiang Zan.
After Jiang Zan finished patting the table, he stood up suddenly, quickly went to the next table, grabbed the collar of a monk who was spreading rumors, and lifted the man up directly.
"Can you try saying something again?"
Jiang Zan stared at the monk angrily.
The monk was so frightened that his face turned pale, but in front of his friends, he did not show weakness and said: "If you have the ability to challenge Xing Nan, bullying weak people like us will only make people look down on you more!"
"I just bullied you, what's wrong?"
Jiang Zan raised his arm to slap the monk in the face, but his arm was caught halfway.
At some point, the shopkeeper rushed over from behind the counter. He grabbed Jiang Zan's arm and kicked Jiang Zan in the calf, sending Jiang Zan's whole body flying upwards.
Then, the shopkeeper held Jiang Zan under his arm and reached the door of the inn in a few steps. No matter how hard Jiang Zan struggled, he could not break free.
Without any words, the shopkeeper shook his arm, and Jiang Zan's body was thrown away like a ball.
boom!
Jiang Zan's body fell heavily, making a dull sound.
The guests who often came to Kirigakure Inn looked gloating, but the heroes of the Four Kingdoms were all extremely surprised.
After throwing Jiang Zan out, the shopkeeper silently returned to the counter and continued to take a nap.
Jiang Zan's strength was not bad either. Although he was thrown into a very embarrassed state, he was just embarrassed and not injured. After he got up, he was naturally extremely angry.
Throwing himself out of the inn in front of so many people, not to mention he is a hero of the country, even an ordinary person would not be able to bear it.
Jiang Zan entered the inn again aggressively, and was about to get angry at the innkeeper, but was stopped by a hero from the same country.
"Brother Jiang, please don't be impulsive, this is Piaoyun Kingdom!"
"The shopkeeper can easily subdue you and throw you out, which proves that he is much stronger than us!"
"We can appeal to the college after we go back. If we make trouble here, we will only continue to suffer losses!"
"You were the one who started the attack just now, and we are in the wrong. After all, they didn't name and shame us!"
The other four Youyan heroes pulled Jiang Zan back and persuaded him in low voices.
Jiang Zan's anger gradually subsided. He is also a smart man. If there is a step for him, he has to step down. If he really takes action, he may not be able to take the shopkeeper's move.
Jiang Zan was thrown out, which shocked the heroes of the four countries, but also encouraged the arrogance of the monks who spread rumors.
Trouble and fighting are not allowed in the Kirigakure Inn, but talking is not forbidden. Even spreading rumors is just talking.
"This shopkeeper is not weak!" Ling Bin, a young strongman from the Holy Dragon Empire, said with narrowed eyes.
"I guess it has some background."
Lei Hao nodded and said: "Although these heroes from the Four Kingdoms are not very strong, they all have some background, and they also represent a kingdom and an academy. This shopkeeper dares to throw out the heroes of a country.
I don’t know if he is grumpy and ignorant, or if he is too strong and has no scruples.”
"I think it should be the latter."
The third prince also spoke up. He said: "Strong people can have bad tempers, but there are almost no stupid people. It is impossible for stupid and ignorant people to become strong."
"A master-level monk is as weak as a baby in front of him, with no resistance. What kind of cultivation level does he have?" Ling Bin asked curiously.
"Anyway, I can't see through his cultivation level. I conservatively estimate that he is at least one level higher than me." Lei Hao said.
"King of Swords or King of Martial Arts?" Ling Bin was surprised.
"It should be stronger." The third prince shook his head.
"I carry a sensing magic weapon on my body. It can help me sense the energy of all living creatures around me and determine the level of those living beings. Unfortunately, it has no response when it senses this shopkeeper."
The third prince smiled bitterly and said: "The shopkeepers and bosses of the ordinary inn are all very respectful after knowing our identities. Only in this inn, not only have we never met their boss lady, but even their shopkeeper has never looked at us.
one time."
"What grade is your induction magic weapon?" Ling Bin asked again.
"The top level of Xuanbian." the third prince replied.
"The top level of Xuanbian! Isn't it almost a divine weapon?" Ling Bin said in surprise.
"It's still far from a divine weapon. Even if it's not as good as a quasi-divine weapon, it can sense the specific cultivation level of any monk below the emperor level." The third prince shook his head and replied.
"Emperor level?!"
Lei Hao and Ling Bin were both shocked.
They then realized something. No wonder the noble Third Prince kept a very low profile in this small inn.
"It may not be the emperor level, maybe he also has a very high-level breath gathering magic weapon." The third prince said calmly.
"That's right, even if there are only a handful of emperor-level masters in our Holy Dragon Empire, why would they settle in a corner outside this Ten Thousand Beasts Forest?" Ling Bin said with relief.
"It's no use guessing here. Let's talk about Xing Nan. He was originally used by Piaoyun College as a supplement, and it seems that his strength is not bad." Lei Hao said.
"The shopkeeper of this inn is so powerful, it's normal for their waiter to have some tricks." Ling Bin replied.
"During the competition just now, I saw that Princess Yun Shang seemed to be very interested in Xing Nan. After he won, Princess Yun Shang's face was obviously happy. Could Princess Yun Shang be interested in him?
"Lei Hao said worriedly.
"That shouldn't happen. After all, he is just a waiter at an inn. Even if he has some skills, how can he make a princess fall in love with him?" Ling Bin shook his head and asked.
"That's not necessarily true. Princess Yunshang is not like an ordinary woman."
Lei Hao said: "Besides, this inn is not an ordinary inn. With this inn as a backer, Xing Nan's identity is not just as simple as a waiter."
"No matter what, in terms of appearance, family background, and cultivation level, he and our third prince are very different. If he competes with our third prince to pursue Princess Yunshang, I believe that our third prince will not be able to win."
The suspense wins out, after all, the advantage is overwhelming!" Ling Bin said with confidence.
Lei Hao didn't want to offend the third prince, and he was on the third prince's side in his heart, so he could only nod in agreement.
"Then Xing Nan should only be sixteen or seventeen years old. He is not weak now, which proves that his talent is not bad. With the guidance of experts from Wuyin Inn, at my age, he may not be worse than me." The third prince was not blind.
Confident, commented very pertinently.
"So, His Highness should take action earlier." Ling Bin answered.
…
After the battle between Xing Nan and Jian Ling, the news quickly spread to the Luo family in Blue Maple City.
"What?"
After listening to his son Luo Feng's report, Luo Biao seemed very surprised. After pondering for a moment, he said, "What kind of cultivation is Jian Ling?"
"Sixth-grade swordsman, he follows the path of fast swordsmanship." Luo Feng replied.
"Xing Nan defeated Jian Ling with one move, which shows that his strength is definitely above that of a seventh-grade martial artist... His progress is also faster!" Luo Biao said with narrowed eyes.
"Although the rumors have had an effect, he should be very clear in his heart that the rumors were created by us. This may deepen his hatred towards our Luo family." Luo Feng said with a worried look on his face.
"The hatred between our Luo family and him is already very deep, and it will be the same if it gets deeper. Don't forget, Xing Hao died after punching me, and Xing Nan was also driven out of the Xing family by Heng'er.
There is no way he can resolve the grudges with our Luo family." Luo Biao said.
"Then we need to make plans early. If we wait for him to mature, our Luo family may suffer great losses." Luo Feng said.
Luo Biao began to ponder again.
After a long time, Luo Biao said: "Come with me and visit Xue's house."
"Going to Xue's house?"
Luo Feng was a little surprised.
"Dealing with Xing Nan, the Xue family cannot stay out of the matter. Uncle Chen, who has always been loyal to the Xing family, was killed by the Xue family. If Xing Nan becomes stronger, the Xue family will not be easy. I think the Xue family will definitely be happy.
