Why are you crying when I've severed ties? The fake heiress is leading a new sect to new height

Chapter 55: A direct kick

But Tian Haotian didn't believe it at all, and said disdainfully, "Come on, you don't say that everyone is a distinguished guest. I think you're just trying to fool me."

"Young Master Haotian, I really didn't lie to you, this fairy is..."

"Enough." Tian Haotian interrupted impatiently, "If there were really any disciples from sects or young ladies from noble families coming to Qionglou City, my father would have told me long ago. Why would you need to come and tell me?"

This is also why Tian Haotian dared to be so arrogant in the city.

His father had already spoken to him about those who couldn't be moved, and he knew who the rest were.

He glanced at Shen Sangruo's clothes; she was dressed so plainly that, apart from her face, she would be inconspicuous in a crowd.

How could someone like that be a benefactor? That old man must have deliberately deceived him.

Shen Sangruo quietly observed the scene before her, and from the conversation between the two, it was not difficult to deduce Tian Haotian's identity.

When disciples from sects and aristocratic families go out to train, the sects and families will usually inform the regions they will pass through in advance.

In such a city, only the city lord can know this information.

The Flying Cloud Sect happens to have some dealings with Qionglou City. She had heard Shen Daochen mention that there was a city lord in Qionglou City surnamed Tian.

Therefore, it can be seen that this person is Tian Haotian, the son of City Lord Tian.

She sneered; this person was truly both stupid and wicked.

"I'm warning you, you better not meddle in my business, or I'll have your shop torn down tomorrow. If you please me, you'll get your share of the benefits." Tian Haotian pointed at the innkeeper's nose.

The innkeeper was sweating profusely with anxiety, but he still stood in front of Shen Sangruo.

"Young Master Haotian, let's discuss this again..."

Tian Haotian's patience gradually ran out, his face turned fierce, and his voice was filled with anger as he roared:

"Discuss my ass! You're determined to go against me today, aren't you? Get out of my way or not? Huh?"

"Young Master Haotian, if you insist on doing this, I have no choice but to inform the City Lord," the innkeeper said through gritted teeth.

The innkeeper had long disapproved of Tian Haotian's behavior. He knew he couldn't stand up to the entire city lord's mansion, but he couldn't bear to see the little girl being bullied by Tian Haotian.

He was really out of options. Some time ago, Tian Haotian had committed a crime and was warned by the city lord, so he had no choice but to try invoking the city lord's name.

"You still dare to bring this up with me?" Tian Haotian's expression instantly turned ferocious.

The punishment he received that time had already made him lose face, and he had been feeling resentful ever since. Now that the innkeeper had brought it up again, it only fueled his anger.

"It seems I've been too good to you all this time, and you've been living too comfortably. If I don't teach you a lesson, you'll really take me for granted."

Tian Haotian raised his foot to kick the innkeeper.

He is a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, the most talented genius in Qionglou City.

He had already channeled spiritual power into his feet, and this kick would surely make the innkeeper suffer greatly.

At this moment, Shen Sangruo, who had been silent all along, suddenly burst out laughing.

Tian Haotian thought she had been so frightened that she couldn't even speak.

Seeing her calm expression and even smiling at him, he couldn't help but feel a little curious.

He withdrew his foot, which was about to kick out, and instead looked at her with interest.

"I was so busy talking to that old scoundrel that I forgot about the beauty."

Shen Sangruo's smile was perfectly timed; were it not for the icy coldness in her eyes, one might easily mistake her for a friendly smile. This smile swelled Tian Haotian's confidence, causing him to unconsciously smile back. He narrowed his eyes and asked, "What's that beauty smiling about? Is it because you're also interested in me?"

He rubbed his hands together, grinning lewdly.

He knew that no woman in the world could resist the charm of a man as handsome, powerful, and good-looking as him.
Those who resisted him before were definitely faking it, playing hard to get. They were clearly obsessed with him, but pretended to be chaste and virtuous.

Shen Sangri smiled even more, but not into her eyes. She said slowly, word by word, "You'll soon find out what I'm laughing about."

"Okay." This was the first time Tian Haotian had encountered such a "proactive" female lead, and he immediately became interested.

He was still looking at Shen Sangruo with expectant eyes.

But the smile on her face vanished instantly the next moment, and she kicked Tian Haotian hard.

Caught off guard, Tian Haotian was kicked more than ten meters away and slammed hard onto a table in the store, smashing the table.

Shen Sangruo calmly withdrew her foot, her tone composed, "Is one high-grade spirit stone enough?"

The innkeeper was stunned by the sight before him, and it took him a moment to realize that Shen Sangruo was talking to him.

She meant that she had damaged the furnishings in his shop and should compensate him.

"Ah, enough, enough, enough." The innkeeper's mind went blank, and he just nodded blankly.

Such a commotion attracted the attention of many people in the store.

They were already used to Tian Haotian bullying men and women, but they dared not watch, for fear of being implicated.

They had never heard of Tian Haotian being kicked away after his attempt to harass him being unsuccessful. They all craned their necks, wanting to see who was so bold as to rid the people of this scourge.

Anyway, he probably doesn't care about them; his hatred is all directed at the person who kicked him away.

Tian Haotian struggled to his feet from the pile of rubble, rubbing his chest repeatedly with his hands, his face contorted in agony.

There was a hint of doubt mixed with the pain.

The woman looked frail, but her sudden kick felt like it was going to shatter his internal organs.

What he didn't know was that the woman, who seemed to have almost no ability to resist, was actually a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator.

He could not withstand a kick from a cultivator in the early stage of the Golden Core realm.

Tian Haotian clutched his chest for a while before recovering from the excruciating pain. When he looked up, he saw that he was surrounded by people watching the spectacle.

His face turned pale and then red, feeling utterly humiliated, and he instantly flew into a rage.

He sprang to his feet, cursing, "You little bitch, how dare you lay a hand on me! Do you know who I am? I'll kill you!"

He gathered spiritual power in his hands and charged straight at Shen Sangruo with fury in his eyes.

Those around Shen Sangruo couldn't help but feel worried for her.

They were just watching from the sidelines, unlike Tian Haotian who personally experienced the power of her kick, and they were unaware of her cultivation level.

Although Tian Haotian clearly felt her kick, his reason was overwhelmed by rage.

Furthermore, because he was constantly praised as a "genius boy" by the people of the city, he became extremely arrogant and subconsciously believed that he was already the pinnacle of combat power in the city.

The kick Shen Sangruo just delivered was only because he wasn't on guard, which is why she managed to knock it away by luck.

"You'd better die!"

The second update is here, here it is!
