Oh no! I, the weakling, have become the villain!

"Get him completely drunk, so he won't be able to get out of bed for three days! Make sure he can't even touch his bride's hand!"

Zhang Xiaomei gave Awei another look.

"Um, Patriarch, I was just saying it was over, don't take it seriously."

……

Before long, Xu Yao brought Du Cheng and Du Gong to the tavern.

As soon as they entered, the boss looked at them with a smile and asked them a question.

"What would you three like to order?"

Xu Yao answered directly.

“We’re not here for a meal, we’re here to ask you some questions.”

Upon hearing this, the boss nodded, looking like he understood, and immediately spoke to Xu Yao.

"Oh, I see. You must want to know about the recent news about people hunting magical beasts and the appearance of magical beasts, right?"

Seeing Xu Yao nod, the boss held up three fingers.

"Three hundred gold coins, not a penny less, not a penny more. That's the price if you ask me for information."

Xu Yao didn't say anything, and directly took out three hundred gold coins and handed them to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper was also generous and immediately started talking to Xu Yao.

The boss didn't actually know much either.

However, according to rumors, the reason why those monsters are attacking people everywhere is because they have escaped from the secret realm, and that the secret realm has opened a gap, and now people are searching for that secret realm.

Those who hunted magical beasts could make money while also searching for the entrance to this secret realm.

Because of the rumors surrounding the secret realm, many powerful figures have already come here, eager to find out what's going on.

The boss who was saying this glanced at Xu Yao.

"In the end, I'm just an information broker, and that's all I know. If information could be circulated, I might know more, but that's a matter for the future."

That's true, but considering your young age, you should probably abandon those reckless ideas. The number of skilled individuals who have come this time far exceeds your expectations. I wonder how many people have come; they're all after the benefits of this secret realm.

"If they get close to them, then there are only four words to describe it: they will be powerless to control their own destiny."

Although what the boss said was true and meant well, Xu Yao simply smiled and expressed his gratitude.

He didn't really care about what his boss said, since it was true. He also had people from the Qingyun Sect behind him, so he figured he wouldn't run into any trouble.

After finding out which area the monster had appeared in, Xu Yao immediately decided to take Du Cheng and Du Gong there to investigate.

Meanwhile, a group of people in the tavern had already set their sights on Xu Yao and his two companions with ill intentions.

“Look at those three boys.”

"Hehe, they look pretty weak. Could it be that they're also here to search for a secret realm? But judging from their appearance, they're just cannon fodder."

"That's right, these three guys can actually make a different kind of contribution for us."

Several people let out a sinister laugh.

"So, shall we make our move?"

"Waiting a little longer won't hurt, they're just three little pieces of trash anyway."

……

Xu Yao stopped shortly after leaving the tavern.

Du Cheng and Du Gong looked at Xu Yao with suspicion, not understanding what was going on.

"Xu Yao, what's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly stop?"

"Yeah, I almost bumped into you. Can't you just say what's on your mind?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Yao chuckled, but instead of looking at Du Cheng and Du Gong, he gazed at a corner.

"Hey you guys over there, you've been watching us ever since we left the tavern. If you have something to say, just say it to our faces. There's no need to hide like this. It's not a good habit."

Upon hearing this, the dozen or so people who had been plotting against Xu Yao and his companions came out one after another, each glaring at Xu Yao and his group with a malicious smile.

Seeing the way these guys looked, Xu Yao smiled at them.

"Oh dear, these people are certainly up to no good. Don't you think so, gentlemen?"

One of them let out a disdainful snort at Xu Yao's words.

"Heh, you do have some eyesight, managing to spot us. But that's all."

The person next to him chimed in, "That's right, if you three face us, you're all doomed."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yao smiled and narrowed his eyes.

"It can't be that bad, folks. I think we have no grudges against each other."

"What, does that mean we can't fight if we have no grudge against each other? We want your lives, do we need any reason? But since you've said that, it's not unreasonable to give you a reason to die."

The person who spoke gave Xu Yao an extremely malicious smile.

"You only have your own fault. You had to stick your nose out and get yourself killed. If you hadn't come to this tavern, none of this would have happened. But since you're here, don't blame us for keeping an eye on you."

"You three little scum, you dare to covet the secret realm? We never imagined you would only die here, and everything on you would become our wealth."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yao's eyes still showed no fear whatsoever.

He had figured out what these people were up to.

They don't covet the secret realm itself, but rather those who desire it. If they identify someone as weaker than themselves, they will attack that person, kill them, and then profit from the kill.

This kind of person is disgusting.

Therefore, Xu Yao naturally wouldn't be polite to these people.

"Judging from what you're saying, you seem quite confident in yourselves. But do you really think you can be my match?"

Upon hearing Xu Yao's words, the group smiled smugly.

"What kind of time is this to be daydreaming? The strength and numbers of my brothers are obvious. Even if all three of you fought together, you probably wouldn't be able to do anything to me and my brothers."

Xu Yao smiled and said, "Then, shall we give it a try?"

He had a clear sense of the strength of the dozen or so people in front of him.

The strongest among them was only at the sixth level of the Qi Refining stage, while the rest had varying levels of strength.

However, generally speaking, there are very few people who have surpassed the fifth level of the Qi Refining stage.

Because of what Xu Yao had just said, many people present already had anger flashing in their eyes.

"You ignorant brat, I think you're really asking for trouble."

"You're right. If I don't teach you a lesson today, you'll never know what it means to be arrogant and domineering."
