CHAPTER 171: CHAPTER 171 THE PROVOKED PRETTY BOY

Little pretty boy...

Gui Hu’s temples bulged with veins.

This was the second time he had heard this term today, and it was extremely unpleasant to his ears.

"He’s my younger brother."

The younger brother of Big Ghost, that would be Little Ghost.

"So, you’re his elder brother. Since you’re his elder brother, let’s have a good talk."

Upon hearing this, several local ruffians winked and nodded at each other, looking like they had landed a big fish tonight.

"Your brother just bumped into me, and my leg, it got crippled by the bump. Tonight, I was supposed to do a job for the Imperial Doctor Mansion, but now I can’t because of my crippled leg. You need to compensate me, ten thousand silver taels, and we’ll call it even."

The leading local ruffian grunted, feigning a limp.

In Taoyao Pavilion, no one dared to speak up; this was clearly a set-up, but who dared to say more, lest they be the next unlucky ones.

"Alright."

They fully expected Gui Hu to agree immediately.

The local ruffians were ecstatic, unable to see that this youngster was an easy mark.

Gui Hu stood up, and the leader of the local ruffians rubbed his hands together with glee.

"That kid has a good-looking face, but his brain isn’t up to par, ten thousand silver!"

"Those local ruffians are the kind who would devour a person without spitting out the bones. It looks like these two brothers are in for trouble tonight."

"Exactly, poor things."

Guests in Taoyao Pavilion commented in murmurs.

They shook their heads, pitying the unfortunate brothers.

Bang—

An unidentifiable object suddenly flew past everyone’s eyes, and the bragging leader of the local ruffians was sent flying out in an instant.

His body broke through a window and landed directly on the street.

The whole process took merely the blink of an eye.

On the street, there was a sudden uproar as the ruffian leader lay on the ground, groaning, clutching his leg.

"My leg... my leg..."

"Crippled."

Gui Hu took a sip of his drink, his deep blue eyes emitting a cold light.

Now, the injury was indeed real.

"You bastard! Dare to strike and injure someone, brothers, attack!"

The local ruffians saw this and burst into rage, swarming up to attack Gui Hu with the advantage of numbers.

But as they threw their punches, the man before them disappeared.

A series of bone-crunching sounds followed by screams, another local ruffian was knocked unconscious... In Taoyao Pavilion, whether guests or the courtesans, all they could see was a figure moving as fast as lightning.

They couldn’t make out the man’s figure at all, only witnessing each local ruffian falling one by one.

Four or five local ruffians, in just a span of a few blinks, had lost the ability to resist.

The local ruffians hadn’t even realized what had happened; their legs and arms shattered, having no clue how he had moved, only feeling their limbs fail them.

What kind of person had they offended?

The skills of this man were simply inhuman!

As the local ruffians fell, nearby, the Evil Spirit Array began to operate at high speed.

Waves of Spiritual Energy were absorbed by the Evil Spirit Array, continuously transforming into Evil Qi.

It was terrifying.

This person was truly terrifying.

The injured woman watched in shock.

Even the most formidable guests who had come to the Taoyao Pavilion were nothing compared to this man.

Who exactly was he?

By the time the guests recovered their senses, there was no sign of Gui Hu and Little Xinzhuo.

Amidst the bright lights and lively music,

Outside on the street of Taoyao Pavilion, Gui Hu carried Little Xinzhuo into the crowd.

Behind them, the wailing of the local ruffians was incessant.

The Imperial Doctor Mansion was nothing special, after all, trying to use these ruffians against Little Budian.

Gui Hu sneered. Just earlier, while he was drinking in Taoyao Pavilion, a servant from the Imperial Doctor Mansion had come to meet those ruffians, and Gui Hu had heard every word of their conversation.
