"Let's go, what do you see," Qin Shan smirked at Hua Ru Meng then led the way.

"Eh, ah," Hua Ru Meng seemed to be unable to think at this moment, so after hearing Qin Shan's call, she said, he only followed him into Purple Lotus City while other cultivators from the Crow Claw Pavilion did the same.

The gatekeeper did not dare to stop them, all looking at Qin Shan as if he was some sort of scourge that should be avoided at all costs.

The cultivators who lined up outside to enter the city also took this as an opportunity and charged forward.

The city gate was in chaos as a dozen guards did not dare to stop these people. After a while, one of them regained his senses and exclaimed, "Quick, check on Elder Min's condition!"

Hearing this cry, the other guards woke up from their daze and rushed to Elder Min's side.

"Tell me. Sir Tian Feng!" Elder Min said a few words and coughed up blood then fell to the ground, fainting again.

The guard hurriedly took out a communication artifact, poured the Spiritual Sense into it, and gritted his teeth loudly.

All the guards wore angry expressions, they glared at Qin Shan's already disappeared back.

After Qin Shan caused chaos that they could not prevent, they would definitely get a severe punishment.

For so many years, no one dared to act arrogantly in Purple Lotus City. If this matter was not handled properly, the Purple Lotus would become a laughingstock. Clearly, these guards would not be able to bear the consequences of such behavior.

__________

Crow Claw Pavilion, Meeting room.

Hua Ru Meng and the others sat there, each of them showing panicked expressions on their faces.

Qin Shan also sat there, observing the room, looking calm and relaxed, not feeling guilty for the problems he caused, even looking like he was having fun.

"Little boy, why did you follow us here?" After a long silence, a burly bald-headed man suddenly snapped, he turned his head and glared at Qin Shan, his eyes full of hostility.

"That's right, why are you here?" Another cultivator finally recovered and looked at Qin Shan curiously.

"Oh. It's my first time in this city and I don't know him yet. Just now, Chairman Hua kindly invited me, and since I have no reason to refuse, I humbly accept it," Qin Shan smiled lightly.

"Me?" Hua Ru Meng looked at Qin Shan blankly and thought for a moment before gently nodding, "Yes, yes."

On the way here from the city gate, the person from the Crow Claw Pavilion behaved like a soulless body, completely lost and acted on instinct. This was not surprising, as the Crow Claw Pavilion was merely a small organization. Surviving the cracks left behind by the gigantic organization that ruled over the Xuan Continent and always acting discreetly and carefully in order not to cause trouble, but this time, it was, they were involved in an incident where Elder Min was beaten severely enough to cough up blood at the main gate of the city.

To the Crow Claw Pavilion, this was like the sky collapsing over their heads.

No one noticed Qin Shan coming with them to the Crow Claw Pavilion. Hua Ru Meng managed to regain her senses, took a deep breath, and directed her beautiful eyes towards Qin Shan then muttered softly, "Sister Ling, "Sister Ling, please arrange a room for her so she can rest."

Hearing this, a beautiful woman in a glamorous red dress responded and waved to Qin Shan, "Follow me."

"I will trouble you then," Qin Shan nodded lightly and stood up to follow him.

"Chairman ..." The burly bald-headed man called out anxiously when he saw Qin Shan leave.

Hua Ru Meng glared at him and the instant he fell silent, not daring to speak any further, only able to glare at Qin Shan's back while gritting his teeth.

Qin Shan followed the beautiful woman named Ling while observing her surroundings, after a while, he chuckled lightly, "Madam, it seems that your Pavilion has a luxurious building."

"Why did you say that?" The beautiful woman looked at Qin Shan with a cold expression.

"Although this is my first time coming to Purple Lotus City, I know every inch of land here will be comparable to hundreds of thousands of Gold Coins. If your Pavilion has a building of this size, it must be financially strong enough."

A wary look appeared in the pretty woman's eyes and she snapped, "This is all the result of the Chairman's hard efforts and everyone's for twenty years. Many of our brothers and sisters died to establish a small space in this Purple Lotus City, so what great financial power do we have? Moreover, we were caught in such a big trouble this time that the future of the Crow Claw Pavilion was now in question."

Qin Shan smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, it looks like I've caused trouble for your Crow Claw Pavilion."

"As long as you understand," the beautiful woman's expression brightened slightly as she stopped talking and continued to lead the way.

After a while, he reached the guest room and opened the door rather rudely, "You can stay here for now."

The beautiful woman then turned away, then stopped after a few steps.

"Is there anything the lady wants to say?" Qin Shan looked at him suspiciously.

The beautiful woman opened her thin lips, “The two do not like to see others bullied. Many brothers and sisters here support him because they have received kindness from him, including me. If it wasn't for the Chairman's help, I would have been dead ten years ago. Therefore, I won't blame him for standing up to help you, but .. if Purple Lotus City wants to hold someone accountable, I hope you can take the initiative to stand up and resolve this matter, I hope you can take the initiative to, do not let danger befall the Chief. He's a good person, so I don't care how strong you are, if something happens to him because of you, even if I become a ghost, I won't let you go."

Qin Shan's facial expression became solemn then nodded, "I understand."

"I hope so." After the beautiful woman finished what she said, she turned around and left.

In the previous room, the bald-headed burly man paced anxiously.

"Uncle Hao, can you calm down? My eyes blurred to see how you were behaving, "On the right, a woman who looked to be in her twenties was staring at the bald-headed burly man.

"How can I calm down?" The bald-headed burly man bellowed furiously, "You've just seen what happened, this time I'm afraid it's all over for us."

On the chairman's chair, Hua Ru Meng gently rubbed his forehead and smiled bitterly. He had not expected to get into such trouble today. He simply did not want to see Qin Shan end up tragically like that middle-aged man. He had not expected Qin Shan to dare hit the city guards and Elder Min in front of the gates of Purple Lotus City.

"Hao Rong, sit down. Now that things had gotten to this point, there was no point in fidgeting," Hua Ru Meng was also a little dizzy looking at the pacing Hao Rong.

Hearing this, Hao Rong stomped his feet then walked back to his chair and sat down. However, as if his pillow was made of thousands of needles, he could not sit still, he constantly moved forwards and backwards, his expression stiff and ugly.

Hua Ru Meng turned her gaze towards the old man who had closed his eyes since they had returned, making her mind impossible to read.

Pausing for a moment, Hua Ru Meng finally asked, "Uncle Xiao, you are the most experienced and knowledgeable person in this Pavilion. I wonder if Uncle Xiao has any way to solve our current problem?"

Xiao Wu Jing slowly opened her eyes and frowned for a moment then sighed, "It's a difficult situation."

"Even Uncle Xiao has no way?" Hua Ru Mengs heart sank upon hearing this.

Xiao Wu Jing smiled bitterly, "Although this old man has always claimed to be a strategist in this Pavilion, this old man is only a Third Level Saint King. With such low strength, there were not many methods that could be used. Chief, you understand who we've hurt this time…"

Hua Ru Mengs beautiful eyes darkened and her expression was extremely bitter. The Pavilion had experienced many calamities in the past, but they passed through all of them thanks to the careful arrangement and advice from Xiao Wu Jing, but this time, even Xiao Wu Jing was helpless.

"Chairman, this time you are too reckless," Xiao Wu Jing shook his head slowly.

"Uncle Xiao, don't tell that to the Chairman. The chairman only acted on his conscience, he did not want to look for trouble on purpose," The twenties woman whispered softly, seemingly unable to bear to see Hua Ru Meng being reprimanded.

"This old man did not intend to reprimand the Chairman. Who among us is sitting here that has not received any favor from him? If the Chairman didn't have such a high moral code, there wouldn't be a Crow Claw Pavilion today. Actually, none of us will be sitting here," Xia Wu Jing said slowly.

Everyone nodded gently and agreed. It was because of Hua Ru Meng's kindness that they survived to this day.

"Just, this time.haa.." Xiao Wu Jing sighed heavily. After a while, he looked at Hua Ru Meng and said, "Chairman, there are only two options now."

Hua Ru Meng's beautiful eyes sparkled and smiled, "I know Uncle Xiao must have a way. Please explain."

Hao Rong and the woman in her twenties also hurriedly looked at Xiao Wu Jing with great expectations.

"The two thought too much about this old man. These two plans might not resolve the crisis, but.we should try something," Xiao Wu Jing reached out and stroked her beard then said, "The first choice is… capture the child and hand it over to Purple Lotus City!"

Hua Ru Meng immediately frowned.

"This matter was caused by that brat, so it should be resolved by him as well. As long as we hand over the child, we might be able to avoid the Crow Claw Pavilion taking full responsibility. Of course, some punishment would likely still be given, but as long as the Chairman was here, the Crow Claw Pavilion could rise again."

"Yes, as Uncle Xiao said. I'll go catch the boy now and hand him over to Purple Lotus City," Hao Rong did not wait for Hua Ru Meng to speak and immediately jumped to his feet.

Hua Ru Meng simply looked at him sharply and firmly shouted, "Sit down!"

Hao Rong's neck immediately shrunk and he quickly sat down obediently. It could be seen that Hua Ru Meng's words had great authority for him.
