Lu Batian came to Yunlai Inn with a group of guards and asked Qiao Rui to come out and meet him by name, with a very rude and arrogant attitude.

"Our boss is not in a position to see guests. The same goes for Boss Lu, if you have anything to say, just tell me!" Tian Jing saw that this group of people seemed to have bad intentions, so she had to deal with them carefully.

"My son Yanjun and Qiao Rui were classmates when they were young. I heard that he was brave and chivalrous when he was young, and he made a name for himself in the martial arts world. He also built up a huge business in Longxing City. As an elder, I naturally have to come and see such an outstanding nephew." Lu Batian said with a wry smile.

"Qiao Rui caught a cold last night, so it's really inconvenient for him to meet guests!" Tian Jing saw that although Lu Batian had a smile on his face, his eyes were sharp and domineering. She couldn't figure out his intention for a moment, so she had to refuse again.

"Are you sure he is afraid to see people because he has caught a cold and is not injured?" A thin man behind Lu Batian interrupted. He was short and thin, but his voice was like a thunderclap, full of energy.

"Injured?" Tian Jing was shocked, but she believed it a little. No wonder Qiao Rui was a little abnormal today.

"Hmph! Qiao Rui tried to assassinate my second son last night, but was stopped by my junior brother Tian Shiguang, who has the 'Paishan Palm'. Although he killed my junior brother in the end, I'm sure he was also seriously injured!" The thin man snorted coldly, with a rather unfriendly look on his face.

"Why did Qiao Rui want to assassinate Lu Yanjun for no reason?" Tian Jing was confused and shocked, but did not dare to show it on her face.

"That's why I came here. I also want to ask Qiao Rui why he wanted to assassinate my son!" Lu Batian smiled bitterly and said helplessly, "They were classmates. Why did they force each other to death? It's just a small matter of business competition. It shouldn't be necessary to kill someone, right?"

"Old fox!" Tian Jing complained in her heart. From his tone, it seemed that there was no evidence. Lu Batian was saying this to prove that Qiao Rui assassinated Lu Yanjun because of business competition. Thinking of this, Tian Jing narrowed her watery peach blossom eyes and projected a solemn look. She said, "Boss Lu, be careful with your words. Don't make random accusations without any evidence!"

"Whether it was Qiao Rui who did it, just let him come out for confrontation and we'll know!" the short man said in a muffled voice.

"I told you that our boss is not in a position to receive guests!" Tian Jing bit her lower lip slightly, her attitude firm and stubborn.

"you......"

Seeing that Tian Jing was determined not to give in, the thin guard behind Lu Batian said angrily: "Don't refuse a toast and drink a penalty!"

Tian Jing looked quiet and virtuous, with a delicate figure, but at this moment she refused to give in and her eyes were extremely firm.

At this moment, a clear voice came from the stairs, "How about a toast? How about a penalty drink?"

A man in white walked down the stairs leisurely, his lips slightly pursed in a smile, his not-so-handsome face revealed calmness and confidence, his tiger eyes were bright and shining, but his face was a little pale, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness, which made him look more handsome.

Tian Jing knew it was Qiao Rui when she heard the voice, and she turned around to greet him. Her pretty face was slightly annoyed, as if she was happy and angry. She blinked at Qiao Rui with her beautiful peach blossom eyes and said half-truthfully, "The doctor said you have caught a cold and need to rest more. Why did you come down?"

Not long after Lu Batian arrived, a smart guy saw that the situation was not good and went to inform Qiao Rui. Qiao Rui then went downstairs and happened to hear the other party's nonsense, so he added a sentence.

Qiao Rui walked to Tian Jing, patted her shoulders gently, signaled her to be at ease, smiled and said softly, "It's okay!" Then he took two steps forward and looked at Lu Batian and his gang.

When Lu Batian saw Qiao Rui's pale face, he became more certain of his previous guess. A fierce look flashed in his eyes, but he laughed, "My dear nephew Qiao, how are you?"

Qiao Rui smiled faintly, clasped his fists and said, "It's been many years since we last met, Boss Lu is still as domineering as ever!"

"No, no!" Lu Batian smiled and waved his hands, pretending to be concerned and asked: "You don't look well, are you feeling unwell?"

Qiao Rui brushed his sleeves and said calmly, "It's just a cold. I'll be fine after two days of rest. I didn't want to go out to see guests, but your men were aggressive and aggressive, and their words offended my shopkeeper, which made me feel disgusted. Your Lotus Inn can't compete with my small inn, so are you here to ruin my business?"

Several people exchanged sharp words, their voices neither too loud nor too soft, and they did not guard against others. The passengers who wanted to listen could hear it clearly, and at this moment they all looked at Lu Batian and his gang with contempt, and some people whispered to each other, with expressions of disdain.

Seeing this, Lu Batian was secretly angry in his heart, but on the surface he looked very helpless, and smiled bitterly, "My dear nephew, what you said is serious. My bodyguard is the eldest disciple of Jia Renyi, the Eight Bags Elder of the Beggar Gang. He is called 'Yin Sha Palm' Hou Zijian. He also has a junior brother named 'Pai Shan Palm' Tian Shiguang. He was originally the bodyguard of my son Yanjun. Last night they were assassinated, and Tian Shiguang's heart meridian was shattered by someone's palm power. Zijian was heartbroken by the death of his junior brother, and his words were a bit offensive. I think it is understandable!"

"Hiss!" Some travelers gasped when they heard about Hou Zijian, the master of 'Yin Sha Palm'. It was said that this man was short in stature but gifted with extraordinary talent. At a young age, he had already opened up the twelve meridians and became a first-class master. His internal strength was profound, and his 'Yin Sha Palm' was extremely vicious, and it was difficult to leave anyone alive in his hands.

Tian Jing was horrified as she listened to this. She quickly took two steps forward and stood side by side with Qiao Rui. She grabbed Qiao Rui's sleeve tightly with her slender hands, her face full of worry.

Qiao Rui frowned slightly, thinking to himself that after beating the younger one, a new older one would come. If the older one is dealt with, will there still be an older one? It seems that this matter will not be resolved easily.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Tian Jing coming over. Qiao Rui suppressed his thoughts and made up his mind. As the saying goes, when enemies come, we will fight them; when water comes, we will block it with earth. When dealing with people and things, how can we be hesitant and indecisive? Since there is no way to resolve it peacefully, he might as well make it bigger.

Thinking of this, Qiao Rui deliberately showed an unhappy look and scolded: "What does it have to do with me if he is sad about the death of his junior brother? He came to my inn to act wildly because he was in a bad mood. What kind of logic is this?"

"Humph!" Hou Zijian, the short man behind Lu Batian, could no longer hold back. He snorted coldly and said angrily, "It was you who killed my junior brother, and you are still here trying to confuse right and wrong with your words!"

"Oh?" Qiao Rui suddenly realized, "So you suspect that I killed your fellow apprentice. Do you have any evidence?"

“Let me try your skills and see if you have any internal injuries. Although my junior brother is in a weak condition, he is also a top-notch second-rate expert who has opened up eleven meridians. The price to kill him will be high.” Hou Zijian said hatefully in a voice like thunder.

"You are just guessing without any real evidence?" Qiao Rui sneered, "You Lotus Inn is really overbearing!"

"Do I need to guess?" Hou Zijian said angrily. "There are many masters in Longxing City, but not many can defeat my junior brother's 'Mountain Paving Palm' with pure palm power. And last night, when I heard the second young master asking for help, I immediately went to rescue him. Although I was a step late, I still vaguely saw the assassin's swift and agile body movements. Who else could be such a person with such superb lightness skills and powerful palm power except you who killed 'A Red Apricot'?"

"What a joke. It's too rash to conclude that I'm the murderer based on just these two points. How can anyone believe it?" Qiao Rui raised his eyebrows and glanced at Hou Zijian. "Besides, you also said that Tian Shiguang has opened up eleven meridians, and is a top second-rate expert. I can only open up ten meridians, which is only second-rate. How can I compete with him and kill him before you can quickly come to help? I'm afraid you can't do it, right?"

"This..." Hou Zijian was speechless for a moment, his face flushed red.
