Simultaneous Transmigration: Minor Characters Don't Be Cannon Fodder

Hearing Hou Ling's whispers, Ruan Tao, as the senior brother, couldn't help but frown slightly.

He immediately reprimanded her in a low voice.

"Alright, that's their business. If you don't know the details, don't say anything. Just eat your food!"

After being scolded by Ruan Tao, Hou Ling subconsciously shrank back and immediately stuffed a mouthful of food into his mouth.

Even so, he couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"I was just a little curious."

"As the leader of the righteous path, the Sanyi Sect has always acted with great discretion."

"Even if other factions are at odds with the disciples of the Sanyi Sect, they wouldn't show their displeasure in front of so many outsiders."

"Hearing the San Yi Sect so overjoyed, I'd say they're probably those unorthodox members of the Quanxing Sect."

Hou Ling spoke softly after being reprimanded.

However, the diners sitting around Hou Ling were all skilled martial artists with keen hearing and eyesight, and they heard Hou Ling's words quite clearly.

In particular, Li Muxuan, the protagonist of the discussion, immediately turned his head, locked his eyes on Hou Ling, and revealed a somewhat sharp look.

Seeing this, Ruan Tao couldn't help but curse under his breath and glared fiercely at Hou Ling.

He then quickly raised his wine glass and apologized to Li Muxuan.

"Excuse me, brother, my junior brother sometimes speaks without thinking."

"It's our fault for failing to properly educate you at Qingzhuyuan. Ruan Tao apologizes to you here."

With that, Ruan Tao downed the wine in his glass in one gulp.

At the same time, he glanced at Hou Ling out of the corner of his eye, signaling him to apologize quickly as well.

Hou Ling smiled awkwardly when the person in question overheard him talking badly about the other person.

He scratched his head, raised his glass, and stepped forward to give a slight bow.

But he only bent halfway before he felt a force of energy pulling him down.

He then looked up in confusion and saw Li Muxuan across from him wearing a strange smile.

"There's no need for an apology. In fact, I do have quite a history with Quanxing."

"After all, my skills are inherited from Ghost Hand Wang Yaozu, so what you said isn't wrong."

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding diners stopped talking and all the things they were doing.

They all turned their heads, looking at Li Muxuan with surprise and uncertainty.

Ruan Tao and Hou Ling, who had just been apologetic, now had a change in expression.

Hou Ling, in particular, immediately straightened up from her half-bent-over posture.

He didn't apologize anymore, and muttered "bad luck!"

He turned around and sat back down in his seat, muttering curses under his breath.

Although Ruan Tao wasn't as direct as Hou Ling, he no longer felt apologetic.

He merely gave a symbolic bow and returned to his seat without saying anything more.

Seeing the sudden expression on their faces, Li Muxuan was taken aback.

He then ignored the other party, after all, Li Muxuan was not the kind of person who would offer a warm welcome to someone who didn't reciprocate.

He then shook the empty bottle, intending to ask for another one.

Then he noticed that the waiter at Yinghelou was surrounded by rising red qi, staring at him with a cold expression.

"I'm really sorry, sir, but I'm afraid you can't drink this wine."

Upon hearing this, Li Muxuan raised an eyebrow and his voice suddenly turned cold.

"What? The Ghost Hand King's apprentice can't even drink your wine?"

At this moment, Liu Wei, who was inside the house on the second floor, also heard the servant report.

He quickly walked out of the room and spoke to Li Muxuan downstairs.

"Brother Li? I opened this restaurant specifically to make friends."

"It doesn't matter who's apprentice comes to my place for drinks, but there's one thing I need to confirm."

"Excuse me, Brother Li, are you from the Quanxing sect?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Muxuan couldn't help but think of the attitudes of Ruan Tao, Hou Ling, and the others earlier.

He immediately smiled knowingly, "What? So what if I'm from the Quanxing sect? So what if I'm not?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Wei, who was upstairs, did not change his expression; he still wore a faint smile.

But a strange meaning suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"Hehe, if Brother Li weren't a member of the Quanxing sect..."

"Then I'll treat you to a free drink, so please continue with your meal happily."

"But if Brother Li is a member of the Quanxing sect, then I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to leave Yinghe Tower."

After Liu Wei finished speaking, the atmosphere in the entire Yinghe Tower suddenly froze.

Veins bulged on Li Muxuan's forehead as he stared intently at Liu Wei for a long time.

But in the end, Li Muxuan seemed to have thought of something, let out a soft breath, and looked away.

Then he reached out and flicked two coins, tossing them to the counter some distance away, and said in a calm voice.

"One pot of wine isn't enough, I'm not short of money! Bring me two more pots of even better wine."

The meaning behind these words is self-evident.

Liu Wei smiled slightly upon seeing this, beckoned to the waiter, and said loudly.

"Go and get Brother Li two more jugs of good wine. Of course, you don't need to pay for them; you've given too much. Two bottles of wine shouldn't cost that much!"

Both sides backed down, and the atmosphere immediately relaxed.

However, at that moment, at another table...

Hou Ling, slightly tipsy, suddenly became sarcastic again, letting out a cold snort in a nonchalant voice.

"Hmph, if the master is an old thief, the disciple must be a little thief too."

"This money must have come so easily that they spend it without a second thought!"

Hou Ling's voice wasn't loud, but everyone in the room could hear it clearly, and soon someone couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Li Muxuan, who had been suppressing his emotions, finally changed his expression at this moment.

He looked at Hou Ling with a gloomy expression, his eyes narrowed as he met Hou Ling's gaze, a wicked smile appearing on his lips.

"Yes, I came out specifically for you guys!"

"Just you wait, I'll tear your damn Green Bamboo Garden down to the ground sooner or later!"

Upon hearing this, Hou Ling was furious and immediately stood up to fight Li Muxuan.

However, Ruan Tao, as the senior disciple, did not want to cause trouble, and he subdued Hou Ling with just a glance.

He then looked apologetically at his friend who had come over for drinks.

"I'm sorry you had to see this. I'm afraid we'll have to drink this wine another time."

After saying that, Ruan Tao looked up and glared fiercely at his junior brother Hou Ling, meaning he would deal with him when they returned to their home.

Then, ignoring Li Muxuan on the other side, he turned around and led Hou Ling and another junior sister away.

But Li Muxuan was not willing to let the three go so easily.

Just as Hou Ling passed by him, he suddenly flipped his hand and activated the Eight Directions Reversal.

Suddenly, an invisible stream of air shot out, leaving a deep cut on Hou Ling's eye.

Caught off guard by the sudden attack, Hou Ling was initially stunned.

He then raised his hand to touch the blood on his forehead and immediately flew into a rage.

He suddenly sprang up and pounced on Li Muxuan.

He raised his hand and smashed it down on the other person's head.

But before he could land, the force field generated by the reversal of directions fell from a distance.

He pinned Hou Ling to the ground and banged his head against the floor several times.

Then, Hou Ling, who was lying on the ground, heard a playful voice enter his ears.

"Ah, what a good child I am!"

"Get up quickly, Grandpa won't argue with you today!"
