The bald young man actually didn't want to kneel, but at the critical moment of life and death, his left leg involuntarily went down. "I didn't recognize Mount Tai, please forgive me, young master."
"Hehe." Tan Yun chuckled, "I rented this stall for three hundred thousand Supreme Ancestor Stones. How about this, if you present me with three hundred thousand Supreme Ancestor Stones, this matter will be completely resolved."
"Good, you can leave now." Tan Yun said casually.
The bald young man then stood up, collected his goods back into his Ancestral Ring, and disappeared into the night sky…
"Alright, it's taken care of." Tan Yun turned to Yu Yunxi and smiled brightly, then sat cross-legged at the stall. Yu Yunxi smiled back and stood behind him.
At that moment, a middle-aged stall owner approached Tan Yun's side, "Young brother, you've stirred up trouble!"
Tan Yun clasped his fists and asked, "Brother, what do you mean?"
The middle-aged man whispered, "That bald guy is Ximen Lai. His father, Ximen Chong, is the chief steward of the East Town Grand Marshal's Residence!"
"Ximen Lai often runs rampant on East Town Anping Street because of his father's influence, and nobody dares to provoke him."
"I just warned you not to offend him. If he wants to take your stall, let him have it; after all, losing money can prevent disaster!"
"But now it's different. You've crippled him; he will come looking for trouble."
Saying this, the middle-aged man urged, "Young man, you should quickly take your wife and escape from the Four Towns Bazaar!"
Yu Yunxi, who was standing gracefully behind Tan Yun, felt her cheeks slightly warm when she heard him refer to her as Tan Yun's wife. She was six parts shy and four parts angry under the dim moonlight.
"Ahem." Tan Yun wrinkled his nose, "Thanks for the heads-up, brother."
Then, he looked at Yu Yunxi and smiled, "My dear, should we be afraid?"
"Not at all." Yu Yunxi stared at Tan Yun, "Husband, don't be scared. My family also has some power."
Then, Yu Yunxi transmitted her voice, "Tan Yun, how dare you take advantage of this princess!"
Tan Yun chuckled, finding it quite enjoyable to tease Yu Yunxi.
Seeing Tan Yun and Yu Yunxi's carefree attitude, the middle-aged stall owner shook his head and quickly packed up his goods to leave.
In the following moments, stall owners on both sides of Tan Yun quickly gathered their items and tried to make a run for it.
"Hey, why are you all in such a hurry?" Yu Yunxi frowned.
The stall owners looked at the couple; some showed sympathy, while others looked mockingly, angrily, or as if they were looking at fools. They all shouted:
"What are you afraid of? We don't have the background like you two. If we stay, will we wait to get caught in your mess? Pah!"
"Exactly! If you two want to die, go find a deserted place to do it, why act so boldly here? You're making us pay and then leaving!"
"You two are troublemakers!"
"You ignorant couple, do you really think you can provoke Ximen Lai? Brother Liu just told you to run, yet you won’t leave. We have no choice but to go!"
"…"
Upon hearing this, Yu Yunxi was so angry that her delicate body trembled slightly, causing her full chest to create beautiful ripples.
"Don't get mad, it's not worth it to be angry with these ignorant people." Tan Yun comforted Yu Yunxi, then suddenly stood up and scanned the dozens of stall owners.
Those stall owners were all fleeing at the same time.
At that moment, within a radius of three hundred feet around Tan Yun, it was completely empty.
Meanwhile, stall owners across the street and beyond three hundred feet away were pointing at Tan Yun, discussing amongst themselves, and their voices reached Tan Yun and Yu Yunxi's ears:
"This couple must have lost their minds, daring to beat Ximen Lai!"
"Isn't that right? I heard Ximen Chong dotes on Ximen Lai very much…"
"Just watch, it won't be long before this couple suffers. They won't die, but they'll get hurt badly…"
"…"
Hearing this, Yu Yunxi sneered, "A bunch of hopeless snobs."
"Alright, there's no need to bother with them." Tan Yun smiled and stretched, "Let's start setting up the stall."
