Zhuge Liang's Journey to Dominate the World: Starting from Another World

Chapter 223 Peerless Young Master

Pigsy curled his lip and said in a gruff voice, "Such a beautiful fairy, who cares what her purpose is, I'm not afraid. If she pushes me too far, I, the old pig, will gnaw her hair off!"

Kongming glared at Zhu Bajie and said irritably, "You blockhead, all bravado and cowardice, you're only good at bullying your own kind and spouting tough talk!"

"Hehe...hehe...Can't I, Old Pig, just ramble a little? Really..."

Just then, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly froze as a group of people walked in from outside.

The leader was a young man with a gloomy face, wearing a brocade robe embroidered with silver patterns that faintly emitted a strange luster, clearly a valuable robe.

Walking alongside him was a woman whose face was veiled by a light gauze.

Her figure was graceful, and although her face was not clearly visible, one could tell from her faint outline and lively eyes that she must be an exceptionally beautiful woman.

She wore a light purple silk dress, the hem of which swayed gently in the wind, making her look like a fairy descending to earth, and no one could help but take a second look.

The young man would occasionally glance at the woman beside him. Although his eyes were no longer so gloomy, they were still filled with undisguised lewdness.

Several cultivators followed behind him, all dressed in uniform and exuding an imposing aura.

"The Ji family, Ji Wushuang!"

"So this is the famous Peerless Young Master!"

"Why is he here too?!"

Inside the inn, the people were whispering cautiously, their voices filled with awe and respect for the three ancient aristocratic families.

"I wonder what the background of that fairy beside him is!" someone couldn't help but whisper, their eyes full of curiosity.

"Hey...you don't know this! It's said that the Peerless Young Master met her while traveling. This young master is notorious for his womanizing ways, maybe..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ji Wushuang reached out to put his arm around the woman's waist.

The woman turned slightly to the side, subtly avoiding his hand. A hint of disgust flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.

Ji Wushuang's lips curled into a lewd smile, then her gaze swept coldly over everyone in the hall, displaying her innate arrogance to the fullest.

"Hmph, if anyone dares to gossip again, I'll cut out their tongue!"

The crowd below sighed in dismay, not daring to meet his gaze.

"Oh dear! Brother, this seems a bit bad. You...you see, even the people from the ancient clans have arrived. Let's retreat!" In a corner of the hall, Zhu Ganglie said to Kongming somewhat timidly.

However, Kongming seemed not to hear, and his gaze quietly swept over the woman beside Ji Wushuang.

The woman also sensed Kongming's gaze, turned her head slightly, and their eyes briefly met.

A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure and subtly looked away.

"Young Master Wushuang, I have failed to greet you properly. Please forgive me!"

Just then, Manager Xu of Yunyin Inn came over with a big smile on his face.

Kongming naturally had a deep impression of this person.

When he first visited the Holy City, he used the Liu family's power to intimidate the elders of various countries, and this Steward Xu slapped him without any mercy.

Later, Kongming distributed most of the gold notes he had extorted to him, which finally appeased the man.

Ji Wushuang waved his hand impatiently, "Is my cave dwelling properly arranged?"

Steward Xu hurriedly nodded and bowed, smiling obsequiously, "Young master, rest assured, I have already cleared out the best seats in the 'Heavenly Class' to entertain distinguished guests from the ancient families!"

Ji Wushuang snorted coldly and ignored him, saying in a cold voice, "Hurry up and lead the way!"

Upon hearing this, Steward Xu immediately stepped aside to lead the way.

Although Yunyin Inn belongs to Lord Liu's property, it is backed by a behemoth like the Sima family.

But the Ji family, being an ancient and powerful clan, was not one that a mere innkeeper or a lowly Golden Core cultivator could easily neglect.

Steward Xu was perfectly aware of the situation and proceeded with extreme caution, even holding his breath slightly, for fear of accidentally displeasing the young master of the Ji family.

"Ganglie, shall we still go to the 'Heavenly' area?" Kongming asked in a deep voice, holding the 'Heavenly' jade token in his hand.

"Um... Brother, I think this place is great, it's lively..."

Zhu Ganglie spoke in a muffled voice, scratching his head, his eyes revealing a hint of fear and deep-seated inferiority.

"Hahaha... Since we have this jade token, it seems a bit of a waste not to go. Brother, I'll take you to see it today, shall I?" Kongming leisurely picked up his teacup, took a sip of tea, and said unhurriedly.

To everyone's surprise, Pigsy shook his head vigorously, stammering, "Brother, I...I, Old Pig, am...a little scared..."

"Look at you, so spineless! Straighten your back! With a coward like you, how am I supposed to lead you to conquer this cultivation world in the future!"

After Kongming finished speaking, he said no more and immediately held his breath and listened to the conversations of the people around him in the inn's lobby.

They tried to piece together from the fragments of information what had caused so many people to flock here, even alarming the ancient aristocratic families...
