Chapter 6, The Martial Arts of Lan He

Is it possible that today will end up being the same as this morning, leaving in anger once again

After saying that lazily, he shouted: "Get down!" At that moment, Luo Xiaoyi was reflecting when she heard the words and quickly performed a light and agile somersault, landing in the corner of the main hall. Just as a few cheers were about to break out, they were immediately silenced upon seeing his tear-filled eyes: How pitiful, he is still just a child, the manager Lan has gone too far!

Thinking of this, she flicked her whip, not looking back as she struck down heavily! The force of her whip was immense, accompanied by a fierce howling sound, suddenly smashing towards an empty table behind her!

At this moment, Miss Liu gritted her silver teeth, her eyes wide open, and shouted sternly: "Sisters, let us smash this tavern!"

As soon as the call was made, there was no response for a long while

Miss Liu is currently staring in astonishment at Lan He in front of her. Just a moment ago, he effortlessly caught the chair, which has left her, who prides herself on her strength, somewhat uncertain about his capabilities.

Lan and Wei Yi clasped their fists together, gracefully performed a salute, and with an air of elegance addressed the young ladies present: "All of you young ladies are renowned beauties of Luoyang City. Today, gathering at Qianli Xiang, this humble establishment is greatly honored. Xiao Guang, Xiao Yi, quickly bring forth our restaurant's finest dishes and drinks for the esteemed ladies."

With a triumphant glance at the now quiet crowd, Miss Liu widened her slender, phoenix-like eyes and, filled with murderous intent, shouted at Lan He: "Lan He, I did not come here to get close to you!"

However, the great man's back straightened for less than a second before it bent again. It turned out that Luo Xiaoyi's eyes shifted, and she thought of a key point: to be a great little person is clearly a long process, possibly requiring a lifetime to pursue. At this moment, what is most important is to see if there are any bargains to be had, while also ensuring the safety of our own lives

Amidst the sounds of joy, the gazes of the diners towards the young ladies were filled with enthusiasm and gratitude. Furthermore, with Lan and the beauties on either side calling out, and given his own extraordinary presence, in that moment, these young ladies of noble birth were all blushing, their faces radiant, looking at Lan with eyes full of delight and affection

Upon thinking of this, she raised an eyebrow, her bright red silk dress reflecting her rosy little face, strikingly eye-catching. With a heavy crack of the riding whip against the empty air, a sharp sound echoed, instantly silencing all whispers and laughter!

Lan looked at her with a melancholic expression, revealing his snow-white teeth as he prepared to speak. Feeling the increasingly loud exclamations of joy from the girls behind her, Miss Liu could not help but think to herself: No, I must not let this fellow speak! I fear that if he opens his mouth, all my sisters will stand by his side!

Miss Liu grew angrier the more she thought about it. She simply chose to ignore the women behind her and turned around, focusing intently on Lan He, who was smiling with great composure and exuding masculine charm. With a flick of her riding whip, she shouted sharply: "Lan He, today I am going to smash your shop. What do you have to say for yourself?"

Miss Liu turned around and was so furious that she almost spat blood! The sisters behind her were all shyly throwing flirtatious glances at Lan and Luan, their faces full of bashfulness, completely devoid of any murderous intent. She had brought them here to disrupt the scene, not for matchmaking!

Hush

As soon as Miss Liu spoke, everyone became restless. Luo Xiaoyi quickly released Xiao Guang and silently retreated to the back. He kept retreating until he reached a corner near the entrance of the tavern.

At this moment, Luo Xiaoyi was reflecting: Damn it, no wonder I couldn't make it as a hoodlum and ended up as a thief, and then the thief ultimately fell to the level of a beggar. Even as a beggar, I couldn't hold onto my territory and was driven to Luoyang City. It turns out that I, this petty person, have made my actions too obvious. Wow, why am I only realizing this now? How much precious time have I wasted!

It is not feasible; strategies must be changed in the future

This is a profound education! In an instant, Luo Xiaoyi, having grasped the true reason for her failure, straightened her back and assumed a serious expression, embodying a sense of righteous indignation. With this posture, a new generation of great leaders was officially born

After observing the distance between herself and the entrance, and feeling that the area was quite safe, Luo Xiaoyi noticed that the guests at the table in front of her were staring wide-eyed and nervously at the commotion. With a smile, she swiftly extended her right hand, and with a whoosh, when she retracted her hand, a plump and fragrant pig's trotter had already appeared in her palm

At the very moment the riding whip was swung, no one noticed that Lan He’s index finger suddenly flicked silently! Then, a silent surge of energy swiftly struck the Hegu acupoint on Miss Liu's hand.

Having said that, he bowed to the surrounding diners and, with a beaming smile, said: "Ladies and gentlemen, today I, Lan, am fortunate to have so many distinguished and extraordinary beauties in attendance. In gratitude for your generous presence, I have decided that all of your expenses will be completely waived!"

Lan, with his arms crossed, did not even glance at Luo Xiaoyi and slowly said: "It's nothing of significance. This little fellow is too timid; just now he actually thought of using me as his shield. It was merely a small punishment."

The force was extremely light, almost imperceptible. Miss Liu only felt a sudden itch at the Hegu acupoint as the whip was swung. Consequently, unable to resist the itch, her fingers involuntarily relaxed. With a sudden sound, the long whip slipped from her grasp and darted towards a corner like lightning. Then, with a loud snap, it wrapped around an object in the hands of a boy squatting in the corner and spun back again.

Amidst the sounds of joy, Miss Liu first felt delighted, but upon seeing the expressions of her sisters, she was filled with anger: Could it be that I, the esteemed lady, have come here with such a fierce demeanor, only to be dismissed after a couple of casual remarks from Lan He? Furthermore, this morning, I suffered such great humiliation; although it was not Lan He's doing, the incident arose because of him. Hmph, I absolutely cannot let this little brat off easily!

Upon hearing this, Luo Xiaoyi, who had been pulling Xiao Guang and not allowing him to enter the kitchen to prepare the food and drinks, suddenly brightened her eyes and said, "Hey, this young master is still impressive; just by looking, I can tell that the best part of the show is yet to come"

Lan still wore that faint smile, his demeanor gentle and refined, akin to the most distinguished young noblemen. Coupled with the captivating smile he displayed upon his entrance, the several beautiful young ladies standing beside Miss Liu were momentarily entranced.

After quickly scanning with her eyes and confirming that no one was paying attention to her, Luo Xiaoyi shrank further inside and then sat down on the ground, eagerly gnawing on the pig's trotter.

Everyone merely glanced at Luo Xiaoyi and then set this minor character aside. After all, there were more exciting performances and more prominent protagonists on stage
