Chapter 60 : The Uncanny Tavern
In the private room on the second floor,
Hearing the chaos downstairs, Xiao Xinyue frowned slightly and said to her maid, "Chun Ya, handle it."
"Ah? Oh... alright!"
Chun Ya nodded and quickly ran out the door.

Qi Daozi, with his feet propped up on the table, froze.
In that instant, a strange, fleeting dream flashed before his eyes like a revolving lantern.

He was beaten down in the street by a crowd of angry commoners. Clubs and fists rained down on him.
There were too many people; he couldn't fight back. The resentment he had accumulated over the years finally erupted at this moment.
He took countless blows, his body wracked with excruciating pain, his consciousness fading.
On the verge of death, he seemed to sense something and looked to the side.

A pitch-black cat was sitting in the middle of the street, its heterochromatic eyes quietly watching him.
"Smack!"
"Big brother, what are you doing?"
The crisp sound of a slap echoed.

Qi Daozi came back to his senses, a little dazed.
What the hell just happened?

His underling beside him was holding his face, looking at him with the aggrieved expression of a wronged maiden.
What's going on?
What just happened?
A daydream?
The scene before him returned to the bustling tavern. Qi Daozi was in a trance.
But the memory of being beaten to death was exceptionally clear.

He shook his head, trying to pull himself together.
The job at hand was more important.
He raised his eyes and said to the accounting waiter at the counter, "I don't want much, just give me 20 taels of silver."
"You don't want others to know that your food is unclean and not good, do you..."
Before he could finish, a short figure wearing a mask walked out from behind the counter.
The wooden mask concealed her face, making it impossible to see her clearly.

But through the holes, one could see a pair of dull, gray, lifeless eyes.
"You damn little brat, who are you?!"

"Get the person in charge to talk to me."
For some reason, upon seeing the other's eyes, Qi Daozi felt a little unnerved.
However, the only response he received was silence.
Xiu Die walked towards him step by step, getting closer and closer. Qi Daozi unconsciously pursed his lips.

This damn tavern is really uncanny.
First, that bizarre daydream, and now this strange child.
"Speak!"
"Hey, you damn little brat!"

Seeing Xiu Die approach, a companion next to Qi Daozi couldn't help but raise his hand, wanting to slap her.
However, just at that moment,
Wë b̄n о̂v̇еl̀ Е̃ nũṁа
"Swoosh!"
A figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
A single kick sent him flying.
The sturdy adult man was kicked three steps away, knocking over several tables and chairs.
The woman, dressed in green, retracted her foot, crossed her arms, and looked coldly at the few hooligans, completely devoid of the chattering, girl-next-door demeanor from before.
In front of the Imperial Princess, it was no mistake to call Chun Ya a maidservant.

Outside, in front of these hooligans, what should these people call her?
"Ouch~"
"Hey, you little..."
Everything happened too fast. Who would have thought someone would suddenly appear and start fighting!
The hot-headed hooligan immediately rolled up his sleeves, ready to curse and fight.
However, just at that moment,

"Stop!"
Qi Daozi, the leader, abruptly stood up and stopped his companion who was about to make a move.

"My lady... my lady, this lowly one has eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai. I didn't know you were resting here. I beg for your forgiveness, I beg for your forgiveness."
Arrogant before, respectful now. The domineering local ruffian from a moment ago had turned into a subservient dog in the blink of an eye.
Qi Daozi's greatest strength was his perceptiveness.
Otherwise, being so arrogant at the foot of the capital, he would have died somewhere long ago.

Many times, a person's status could be seen from their demeanor, their actions...
Chun Ya looked at him coldly and said only one word: "Scram!"
Qi Daozi pulled his companions and nodded hastily, "We'll scram right now, we'll scram right now!"
As he spoke, he and his group ran out in a sorry state.

A dramatic ending.
The diners had all thought the tavern was in for trouble, but they never expected the outcome to be like this.

Who was that woman?
People secretly observed Chun Ya, guessing her identity.
This tavern was indeed unusual!
That young, mysterious shopkeeper seemed to have some backing.
"You!"
Chun Ya raised her head and said to the dazed storyteller on the stage, "Continue!"

"Uh... yes."
...
The woman in green clattered back up to the private room upstairs. The overturned tables and chairs downstairs were put back in order.
The storyteller resumed his tale, though his voice trembled slightly.
The diners whispered among themselves, and little by little, the volume grew.
Gradually, the tavern returned to its initial bustling state.

As if nothing had happened at all.
And in a place no one cared about,

"Grandpa, watch the shop for me."
The child touched her mask, looked at the gradually darkening sky outside the tavern, and spoke to the empty space beside her.
No one could see that the ghost of an old, white-haired general was floating leisurely beside her.
He had been lonely for too long. He actually quite liked this place, full of human energy.

But others might not like him very much.
After speaking, Xiu Die didn't care about his response and ran out.

"Huh?"

Night.
In a place one street away from the Fragrant Man Lou, a ruffian furtively knocked on the door of another tavern.
The shopkeeper opened the door. Upon seeing the visitor, his face changed. He glanced around before letting him in.
However, he didn't seem to see that in the darkness, a pair of dull, gray eyes were quietly watching everything unfold.
"Why are you here?!"
The shopkeeper glared at Qi Daozi. "Didn't I tell you not to look for me at this time?"

Qi Daozi sat down in a chair with a swagger. "Then when should I look for you?"
The shopkeeper rubbed his nose and said again, "How did it go?"
Qi Daozi shrugged. "No good. Can't be done."
"Can't be done? Why?"
"Old Zheng, you'd better believe me. You can't afford to provoke that tavern."
The thing Qi Daozi trusted most in his life was his own judgment and feeling.

First, that woman in green was no ordinary person. Second, that tavern was a bit uncanny.
That strange child, that inexplicable daydream.

Even now, he still felt a chill.
Whoever it was, he wasn't going to that tavern again.
"Hmm? Can't afford to provoke?"
Shopkeeper Zheng frowned tightly.
E ṅu̇ m̂а. іḋ
That's right. It wasn't Qi Daozi who went looking for trouble on his own; it was this shopkeeper who had commissioned him.
The reason was simple: (tóngháng shì yuānjia) - people in the same trade are rivals.
This was a simple, unadorned business war.
Originally, that old tavern was lukewarm, so as a competitor, there was naturally no pressure.

But ever since the new shopkeeper took over, everything had changed.
The number of customers was about the same. If that place had more, this place naturally had fewer.

Shopkeeper Zheng had lost many of his old customers. If this continued, they wouldn't be far from closing down.
