Due to the opponent's weak strength, Ye Tian only used three layers of force with this punch, but even just three layers were enough to create a howling wind.
Just now, Hu Han was caught off guard, but this time he was prepared. Seeing Ye Tian throw a punch, he immediately activated the Vajra Arhat Battle Body, enveloping himself in a layer of golden light.
However, this did not change the fact that he was sent flying.
Thud!
Hu Han flew backward like a cannonball, landing six or seven yards away.
He was robustly built, weighing at least two to three hundred pounds. As he flew through the air, he knocked down several innocent bystanders, and the most unfortunate were the minions following closely behind him; several of them were also sent flying along with him.
In the end, they ended up being crushed beneath him...
"Y-you... who exactly are you?" Hu Han, despite his tough exterior, managed to get up after a moment of groaning. He stared at Ye Tian in shock, his mind racing as he tried to recall any enemies he might have made.
After thinking it over, it seemed there was no one among his enemies who fit this description. Could it be that someone had hired an assassin to kill him?
At this thought, cold sweat broke out on Hu Han's forehead, mixing with the hot sweat from when his fingers were just broken.
Behind him, a group of Loyal Minions struggled to get up as well. The most unfortunate one among them couldn't stand and directly passed out from blood loss after being crushed.
"Boss, who is he?" one of the sharp-eyed Loyal Minions whispered, glancing at Ye Tian. When Ye Tian shot him a glare, he immediately fell silent.
"Who cares who he is? He’s definitely not a good person," Hu Han gritted his teeth against the pain in his fingers and lowered his voice as if trying to remain composed. "Go find my senior brother."
The sharp-eyed Loyal Minion nodded and quickly ran off, disappearing into the crowd shortly after.
Ye Tian naturally heard their conversation, and he intentionally sent Loyal Minions to report back. Otherwise, with his strength, those insignificant characters would not have been able to escape so easily.
"Brother, we should resolve our grievances peacefully. Let me treat you to a drink," Hu Han said, approaching cautiously. At this moment, he was very afraid; after all, this guy acted without hesitation and had no strategy at all. But in order to stall for time until his senior brother arrived, he had no choice but to take the risk.
"Sure," Ye Tian replied with a hearty laugh.
Hu Han was taken aback again, thinking that this guy was so confident that even his senior brother might not be a match for him. It would be safer to invite their master instead. However, he quickly reconsidered; bringing their master might be overkill since there was only one opponent.
"Elder Lin, which tavern do you think is better?" Ye Tian looked around. Within a short distance of Hundred Zhang, there were four or five taverns, making it hard to choose.
Lin Qingshan couldn't understand what Ye Tian was up to. It was clear that he was going to call for reinforcements, yet he still had the mind to drink.
However, he didn't voice his thoughts. After all, just a glance from Ye Tian could render an Azure Ice Fox, comparable to a Five-Stage Martial Artist, powerless to resist. This indicated that he still had the capital to be arrogant.
Although the Azure Ice Fox could not compare with humans skilled in various schemes, the strength of a Five-Stage Martial Artist was not to be underestimated. From his past memories, the strongest in the entire Southern Wilderness Town was only a Four-Stage Martial Artist at best.
Of course, reclusive masters were another matter entirely.
"Let's go to that one," Lin Qingshan pointed at a tavern named Hero's Tavern.
"Alright, let's go there," Ye Tian said as he stepped forward without even glancing at Hu Han.
At this moment, Hu Han felt secretly pleased. He had seen Lin Qingshan, and through his earlier observations, he had confirmed that this person must indeed be Lin Qingshan. He remembered that when he was young, Lin Qingshan was also a prominent figure in Southern Wilderness Town. Having crossed paths with such a person gave him reason to call for their master’s help now.
Watching Ye Tian and Lin Qingshan walk toward the tavern, Hu Han whispered a few words to the nearby Loyal Minions, his eyes flashing with excitement.
At the same time, in an unknown alleyway, a shadow flickered several times before disappearing without a trace.
"Waiter, bring the wine." Ye Tian shouted loudly as he settled into the private room on the second floor.
"Coming right up!" The waiter hurried over, asking, "What kind of wine would you like, young master?"
"Just bring whatever is best, and a few signature dishes as well," Ye Tian replied casually.
"A few?" the waiter inquired.
"Just fill the table," Ye Tian said lightly.
The waiter glanced at Ye Tian, thinking to himself that this was the largest private room, and to fill the table would require at least twenty-two dishes. However, he didn't look like a wealthy young master; could he be someone trying to dine and dash?
Of course, these thoughts could only remain in his mind; he couldn't say them out loud.
"Young master, is it just the two of you?" the waiter cautiously probed.
Ye Tian nodded and poured a cup of tea for Lin Qingshan before pouring one for himself.
"That might be a bit wasteful..." The waiter subtly tried to minimize losses, as he felt this young man resembled someone who might skip out on the bill.
At that moment, heavy footsteps echoed from the stairs. The waiter turned to look and was instantly shocked.
It was uncertain whether this young man was someone who would dine and dash, but the person coming upstairs was undoubtedly that kind of person.
"Hu Hu Hu, young master..." The waiter stuttered, recognizing Hu Han's notorious reputation in Southern Wilderness Town.
"Get out of my way." Hu Han impatiently pushed past the waiter and immediately put on a smile as he addressed the young man in the private room: "Have you ordered your wine and dishes yet?"
Ye Tian nodded without any intention of inviting him to sit down.
"Waiter!" Hu Han shouted as he turned around. "Add ten more dishes on top of what this young master originally ordered. If you can't make this young master happy today, then you might as well close the tavern for good."
The waiter was startled and repeatedly nodded, his mind racing as he wondered what kind of person this young master was, to have Hu Han treating him so respectfully. It seemed he really had been looking down on others; he would need to sharpen his perception from now on.
Of course, no one knew about the waiter's chaotic thoughts, nor did anyone care to know.
"You are Hu Han, right?" Ye Tian said as he lifted his teacup to his lips.
"Yes, yes!" Hu Han hurriedly chuckled and nodded, looking like a dog wagging its tail in submission.
"I'm curious how someone like you manages to survive in Southern Wilderness Town," Ye Tian said disdainfully, glancing at him. This question wasn't meant to insult; he genuinely didn't understand.
Hu Han chuckled awkwardly again. How could he admit that it was because he had flattered and appeased his master?
Hu Han didn't answer, and Ye Tian didn't press further. While waiting for the food and drinks to arrive, he began chatting casually with Lin Qinghan over tea.
Seeing Ye Tian's relaxed demeanor made Hu Han curse his ancestors in his heart repeatedly, just waiting for his senior brother to arrive so he could take action.
Damn it, daring to provoke Hu Han in Southern Wilderness Town? I'll make sure you won't even know how you died!
Hu Han secretly vowed while maintaining a flattering smile on his face.
In truth, Hu Han's facade wasn't weak, but compared to the deep-minded Ye Tian, it was child's play. Every expression of Hu Han's fell into Ye Tian's eyes, and he had a rough idea of Hu Han's intentions.
However, Ye Tian chose not to expose him; instead, a slight smirk of disdain appeared at the corner of his mouth.
In contrast to Ye Tian, Hu Han was far less perceptive at that moment. He was solely focused on how to deal with Ye Tian and didn't consider why the latter remained so composed.
"The food is here!"
Half an hour later, amidst the shouts of the waiter, the food and drinks arrived, filling the room with a delightful aroma.
Ye Tian's appetite was stirred; he hadn't had such a lavish meal in a long time. Lin Qingshan also looked eager, and there seemed to be a glimmer of light in his murky old eyes.
As a chubby man, Hu Han naturally drooled over the feast laid out before them, but Ye Tian showed no intention of inviting him to sit down. Helpless, he could only swallow his saliva and fantasize that it was he sitting at the table instead of Ye Tian.
Ye Tian and Lin Qingshan didn't care about their manners, devouring the food and drink like a whirlwind. In just half a stick of incense's time, the table was already in disarray.
Hu Han watched the whole time, his eyes nearly turning green with envy. He thought to himself that once he got his hands on that bastard, he would enjoy a good meal too.
"Ah, this is truly delicious..." Lin Qingshan sighed contentedly as he leaned back in his chair after eating and drinking his fill.
"It is indeed delicious, but it still pales in comparison to the oil-splashed noodles you make," Ye Tian replied with a smile.
"When did you become so sweet-tongued? I'm not quite used to it," Lin Qingshan said, returning to his old self and referring to himself as an old man for the sake of maintaining his image.
Ye Tian laughed heartily and was about to speak when they heard footsteps coming up the stairs again.
"They're finally here." There was no trace of fear on his face; instead, there was a hint of excitement after waiting for so long.
Hu Han also felt a surge of joy and naturally changed his demeanor from earlier servility to one of confidence.
Soon, several figures emerged from the staircase—each one a burly man with a solid stance.
However, Hu Han's expression changed; these were not his senior brothers at all...
"Your senior brother?" Ye Tian asked disdainfully upon seeing Hu Han's unusual expression.
Hu Han shuddered all over, thinking that this guy actually heard what I said. How can he still eat and drink calmly? Could this be what they call 'the boldness that comes from great skill'?
The few burly men did not pay attention to the crowd and headed straight for the private room across the way. Among them, a tall and thin man caught Lin Qingshan's eye, causing his expression to change.
"What’s wrong?" Ye Tian asked in a low voice.
"I have some impression of this person; they might be from the Lin family," Lin Qingshan said, frowning in deep thought. He could only vaguely remember that the tall and thin man had considerable strength but could not recall any specific details.
"Oh..." Ye Tian nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly laughed and said, "Isn't that your own family?"
Lin Qingshan felt helpless against Ye Tian's carefree attitude and could only chuckle awkwardly, though he felt quite anxious inside.
Having just arrived in Southern Wilderness Town and encountering them—could this be a coincidence? Or had the Lin family already spread their influence throughout Southern Wilderness Town during his absence over the years?
If that were the case, the Lin family's current strength would be quite formidable...
At that moment, a sudden roar echoed from downstairs, booming like thunder and shaking the roof tiles.
"Hu Han, what trouble have you gotten into this time!"
Ye Tianxin was delighted; Hu Han's senior brother had finally arrived!
