Chapter 2656 A Bite in My Throat
Qin Fei is no ordinary person. Not only is his talent for cultivation outstanding, but his ability to fight beyond his level is unparalleled in the entire cultivation world.
To fight across so many realms in one go—probably no one else has ever done that before. Qin Fei has truly made history.
In addition, he also had another identity as a disciple of Dionysus.
Now that he's come here to meet the owner of Zuixianlou, whoever the owner of Zuixianlou is, he has to give Qin Fei some face.
No, at the very least, we should give Dionysus face.
Offending Qin Fei is tantamount to indirectly offending the God of Wine, so it's just a matter of meeting him once, and they don't need to refuse Qin Fei.
Led by this servant, Qin Fei quickly penetrated deep into the heart of their Drunken Immortal Pavilion.
Here, Qin Fei sensed one powerful aura after another, including not only those at the Dao God Realm, but also at least three at the Dao Saint Realm.
With so many Dao Saints, it's quite strange that Drunken Immortal Pavilion isn't even a top-tier power.
"Young master, this is the best I can do for you. Our master is just ahead. Please proceed on your own!" the servant who brought Qin Fei said respectfully.
"it is good."
Nodding, Qin Fei walked forward without fear.
He's now so skilled and daring that he's willing to venture anywhere.
Since he dared to come to their Drunken Immortal Pavilion's headquarters, he wasn't afraid of anyone here.
"Truly, heroes emerge from among the young. Looking at you, I can't help but recall my own youth."
Just then, a casual voice rang out, and then Qin Fei's line of sight came into view a figure dressed in purple with long hair.
The other person was pouring themselves tea, and the scene looked quiet and peaceful.
Without a doubt, this person should be the owner of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, and his aura is also very strong. According to Qin Fei's observation, he must have at least the cultivation level of the mid-stage of the Dao Saint Realm.
Such strength would place him among the top-tier experts in any faction.
No wonder Zuixianlou can maintain those rigid rules at all costs; their foundation is indeed extraordinary.
Were you as capable as me when you were young?
"Can you stand shoulder to shoulder with me?" Qin Fei asked bluntly.
"Then... naturally it's inferior." The man in purple paused, seemingly taken aback by Qin Fei's question.
Qin Fei's current ability to fight beyond his level is so abnormal that probably no one in the world can compare to him. Therefore, Qin Fei's question really hit his weak spot.
Despite his current high level of cultivation, if he were to return to the past, he would indeed be no match for Qin Fei at this stage; the gap would be significant.
"Since you yourself admit that you were not as good as me when you were young, you should also know how much potential I have. Do you think it's worth it to offend such a promising player like me for the sake of a stupid rule?"
Is it worth it?
Qin Fei directly posed a soul-searching question to the purple-robed tower master.
Everything in the world has its own rules of operation. When you are strong enough, the so-called rules and regulations will actually serve you, and you can even become the rule-maker.
Qin Fei's current level is indeed not high enough, but his potential is enough, so Qin Fei wanted to use this sentence to make the other party carefully consider it.
Dragon Soar must die!
This is a label that Qin Fei voluntarily gave him.
Therefore, he hoped that Zuixianlou could provide some preferential treatment.
He doesn't need Zuixianlou to truly break the rules left by their ancestors. He only needs to let himself deal with Long Teng on a small scale. As long as he secretly takes care of Long Teng, who will know what happened?
This may not necessarily affect Zuixianlou's future business.
Furthermore, the fact that Zuixianlou took Long Teng in as a guesthouse has already angered many righteous people, who feel that Zuixianlou is protecting criminals and aiding and abetting evil.
Therefore, Qin Fei felt that coming to see the owner of their Drunken Immortal Pavilion should still be of some use.
Unfortunately, Qin Fei overestimated his own role and underestimated Zuixianlou's firm commitment to upholding its own rules.
"There's an old saying that goes, 'Without rules, nothing can be accomplished.' Do you think the reason why my Zuixianlou has grown so big and its business has lasted so long has anything to do with our ironclad rules?"
"If I make an exception and let you in to kill someone today, won't others follow suit tomorrow?"
"If this continues, will my Drunken Immortal Pavilion still be able to do business?"
"Perhaps to you, we are just helping you out a little, but you don't think at all about what price we will pay after helping you."
"First, our business will definitely be greatly affected. Second, will this guy's master come after our Drunken Immortal Pavilion?"
"At least you have your master to back you up, so you can do whatever you want without fear, and even do things without restraint."
"But what about us?"
"We could be wiped out at any moment, or even our lineage could be destroyed. Given that we might have to pay such a high price, do you think our Drunken Immortal Pavilion would dare to help you?"
The purple-robed man's words were reasonable and well-founded, leaving Qin Fei with no way to refute them.
Indeed, if the Drunken Immortal Pavilion's entire lineage is destroyed because they helped him, then even if Qin Fei kills Long Teng, the Drunken Immortal Pavilion will still be the biggest loser.
Therefore, their best option now is to simply not help.
This way, they might offend Qin Fei, but at least they could preserve their own power.
The rules came first, and Qin Fei's situation arose later, so even if they didn't help Qin Fei, the subjective factors weren't on their side.
So even if Qin Fei pleads his case to the bitter end, they still won't lend a hand in this matter.
"Young Master Qin, please put yourself in our shoes and understand our difficulties." The Purple-Clad Pavilion Master was a relatively polite person. Even though he rejected Qin Fei, he didn't want to truly break off relations with him.
Otherwise, given his cultivation level, he wouldn't have needed to say so much to Qin Fei.
"Does that mean there's absolutely no room for maneuver in this matter?" Qin Fei asked again.
"Yes!" The purple-robed lord's attitude was very firm. He said, "I can't gamble with the future and fate of the entire Drunken Immortal Pavilion, so Young Master Qin, this trip is destined to be in vain."
"It wasn't a wasted trip. At least I figured out your Zuixianlou's attitude. If I have the chance in the future, I'll stay at your restaurant," Qin Fei said.
"Then our Drunken Immortal Pavilion would naturally be more than happy to welcome him." The purple-robed pavilion master was exceptionally polite, and even took the initiative to escort Qin Fei all the way to the gate of their residence.
"Young Master Qin, take care and don't see me off." The purple-robed master waved to Qin Fei and said.
"Okay, you go back!"
On the surface, Qin Fei was very polite, but in reality, after he walked a hundred meters, his face instantly turned gloomy.
He hadn't expected Zuixianlou to be so adamant. They really didn't want to break the rules left by their ancestors, and even his own appeal to his potential was useless.
Of course, everyone has their own perspective on the issue. In Qin Fei's view, Zuixianlou could have easily given him some personal convenience and let him go in and kill Longteng.
However, the reality is that, for the sake of their restaurant's business and the safety of their entire organization, Zuixianlou would rather risk offending Qin Fei than provide him with any convenience.
Without their permission, if Qin Fei were to make a move at Zuixianlou, it would be a blatant challenge to their bottom line, and the manager would not allow him to act recklessly.
Of course, Qin Fei was also aware that Zuixianlou's current actions were somewhat like bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
If the person who just brought Qin Fei there was his master, the God of Wine, then the Drunken Immortal Pavilion definitely wouldn't dare to utter a single word.
It can only be said that Qin Fei's own strength was too weak, and he failed to make them truly take him seriously.
"call……."
Since he couldn't kill Long Teng for the time being, Qin Fei was in a very bad mood.
He felt a distinct discomfort, as if he had swallowed a piece of excrement.
Although Long Teng is not as good as him now, just because he lives in Zui Xian Lou, he is protected by others, which makes it impossible for Qin Fei to kill him.
Qin Fei could ask the Divine Martial Sect for help, but if he did that, there was no guarantee that Old Monster Yin wouldn't interfere directly.
Thinking of this, he could only force himself to calm down.
It took Qin Fei a good five or six minutes to adjust his emotions before he felt a little better.
Although Long Teng is still staying at Zuixianlou and hasn't left, Qin Fei has no way to kill him. However, Qin Fei has another thing to do: to go to Zuixianlou and bring Zhen Tian and Su Chen out.
They've been living at Zuixianlou for quite some time now, and it's time to bring them back.
Upon arriving at the location of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, one could see the people from the pavilion repairing the site of the damage caused by the previous battle between Qin Fei and Long Teng.
After all, Zuixianlou is a business. If they can't even keep their storefront clean, who will come to patronize them in the future?
When Qin Fei appeared, one of the busy waiters immediately ran in to inform their manager.
Before long, the shopkeeper came out to greet them.
He first smiled at Qin Fei, and then asked, "Young Master Qin, have you received the order from the Master of Drunken Immortal Pavilion?"
"I didn't get the imperial edict, but I did manage to grab a handful of shit. Do you want to eat a bit?" Qin Fei asked expressionlessly.
"Cough cough..."
The shopkeeper was taken aback by Qin Fei's words. He could only cough twice to cover his embarrassment and said, "Young Master Qin, please don't joke around."
"I only joke with people I know well, and you're obviously not one of them. You once mobilized people to protect me, but now you're protecting your enemy. So let's wipe the slate clean. From now on, neither of us owes the other anything," Qin Fei said calmly.
"That's how it should be."
Although the manager thought Qin Fei's words were heartless, their restaurant had indeed offended Qin Fei, so it was understandable that he was unhappy.
If he doesn't allow others to vent their emotions when they're unhappy, Qin Fei might actually do something outrageous.
The current situation should be considered the best possible outcome.
