Chapter 557 Cao Wen

Su Lai pondered for a moment, then slowly declared, shocking everyone: "I have no money!"

As soon as Su Lai uttered these words, everyone was stunned, even Yu Daohen behind him looked bewildered.

What the hell, if you have no money, why are you acting so tough?

"Tsk~"

A wave of hisses came from all around. The woman's face turned green with anger, and she cursed inwardly.

Damn it, if you have no money, why are you pretending to be some big shot, playing with me for fun?

To be honest, Yu Daohen wished he could crawl into a crack in the ground right now.

Having been in the martial world for so many years, he had never felt so embarrassed.

Just as everyone thought the matter was over, Su Lai suddenly spoke again: "Wait a moment."

At Su Lai's words, everyone turned their heads to look at Su Lai and Yu Daohen again.

Yu Daohen wore a constipated expression. Wasn't this embarrassing enough? What else was he trying to pull?

A smile crept onto Su Lai's lips, and he resumed his arrogant demeanor: "Although I have no money, I hope you can grant me some face and let me stay here."

Hearing this, even a fool could tell that Su Lai was here to challenge them.

The woman snorted disdainfully, "You come to Tianxuan Entertainment to save face? Who do you think you are?"

Just as the woman was about to call for guards to throw them out, she heard Su Lai speak again: "If my face isn't enough, then how about his?"

As soon as Su Lai finished speaking, he stepped aside, leaving the position for Yu Daohen.

Yu Daohen hadn't even reacted before he felt all eyes focused on him.

Yu Daohen looked at Su Lai beside him, only to see him giving a thumbs-up with a carefree expression.

Damn it...!

Yu Daohen wished he could kill this brat right now.

The woman's face darkened as she stared at Yu Daohen: "And who might you be, sir?"

Yu Daohen's face looked worse than if he had eaten shit. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Su Lai boasting beside him.

"This is the renowned Master Yu of Jiangdu, Yu Daohen! He once fought against experts on the Black List without falling behind, single-handedly slaughtered a village with his Kanglong Mace, and is known throughout the martial world as the Peerless Prodigy!"

As soon as Su Lai finished speaking, everyone began to chatter.

"No wonder he looked so familiar, it's the famous Master Yu."

"I didn't expect Master Yu to come to a place like this."

"..."

"..."

Yu Daohen, hearing everyone's discussion, wished he could die on the spot.

Seeing that it was Master Yu, the woman hesitated for a moment before a smile appeared on her face: "So it's Master Yu. I apologize for any offense earlier. Tianxuan Entertainment welcomes you."

Master Yu's name was known throughout the martial world. This formidable figure dared to confront anyone, so it was best not to provoke him.

Seeing the woman make way, Su Lai swaggered past.

Yu Daohen followed behind, suppressing his anger, and silently recited:

Don't get angry, don't get angry. If you get angry, no one will take care of you. I only have this one brother, I must endure!

After sitting on the sofa, Yu Daohen looked at Su Lai with a dark expression: "You truly are my good brother."

Su Lai chuckled, "Master Yu, only on the third floor can we see the boss behind all this."

Hearing this, Yu Daohen could only shake his head helplessly.

It was a bit embarrassing, but the outcome was good.

Su Lai's life was tied to the 'Desperate Lock' on his chest, and he would die when its time was up. They couldn't delay any longer.

Yu Daohen surveyed everyone present, looking somewhat puzzled: "I don't see any formidable figures here either."

Su Lai had told him that everyone who came here was a well-known expert in the martial world.

But he didn't see any experts from the Heaven Ranking on the third floor.

Su Lai chuckled and pointed to the fourth floor: "These are just minor characters. The real experts are on the fourth floor."

Yu Daohen looked at the stairs to the fourth floor: "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go up and take a look."

Su Lai gave him a sideways glance: "Forget it. You can't even afford to play on the third floor, how could I let you go to the fourth floor?"

Yu Daohen was embarrassed and said nothing. Time ticked by, and after about two hours, the boss still hadn't returned.

Yu Daohen couldn't wait any longer. He beckoned the woman who had served them earlier: "When will your boss be back?"

The woman shook her head, a professional smile on her face: "I don't know."

Yu Daohen's face darkened as he stared at the woman: "You're not going to tell me, are you?"

The woman shook her head, a flicker of panic in her eyes that Yu Daohen caught immediately: "You're lying to me!"

The woman shook her head, and her smile became unnatural: "Mr. Yu, you jest. Why would I lie to you?"

Seeing this, Yu Daohen snorted, "You can go ask around in the martial world. Is my nickname 'Little Fiend' just for show?"

Su Lai beside him suddenly added: "Isn't it 'pretty boy'?"

Yu Daohen glared at Su Lai, annoyed, and then looked back at the woman: "Tell your boss that Su Lai is here to repay the debt."

Seeing that her deception was exposed, the woman no longer hid it: "Mr. Yu, I can't help it. The boss said not to disturb her no matter what."

Yu Daohen stood up and said, "How about this, you take me directly to your boss."

The woman shook her head, looking troubled: "Mr. Yu, please don't make things difficult for me. The boss has instructed that I must not disturb her under any circumstances."

Seeing that the woman was unmoved, Yu Daohen began to threaten her: "Tell your boss, if she doesn't come out, I'll smash this place!"

"Mr. Yu, please don't make things difficult for this humble servant." The woman looked distressed.

Just then, a figure walked over from the side, a smile on his face: "Master Yu, why bother a waitress?"

Yu Daohen and Su Lai simultaneously looked in the direction of the voice.

A man wearing a work uniform with a scar on his left cheek walked over, a smile on his face: "I am Cao Wen. Greetings, Master Yu and Master Su."

Cao Wen, formerly ranked eighth on the Heaven List?

Yu Daohen's brows furrowed. Su Lai beside him also scrutinized the man carefully and couldn't help but ask, "You are Cao Wen, formerly eighth on the Heaven List?"

Cao Wen, known in the martial world as 'Little Saber King', was a master of ghost control techniques. At a young age, he had fought his way to the eighth position on the Heaven List.

However, after failing to challenge Huang Yuemin, who was ranked fifth on the Heaven List, he disappeared from the martial world.

Many speculated that he had been severely injured in that battle and eventually succumbed to his wounds.

Cao Wen smiled modestly, "I didn't expect that after so many years, someone would still remember me."

"I didn't expect Tianxuan Entertainment to be able to invite a master like Master Cao." Yu Daohen's face showed a smile, but he muttered inwardly.

Cao Wen's ability to break into the top ten of the Heaven List was proof of his formidable strength.

If they tried to force their way through, they likely wouldn't gain any advantage.

Moreover, as Su Lai had mentioned, Tianxuan Entertainment had more than just one expert from the Heaven List.

No wonder the guards at the entrance were so arrogant. It seemed Tianxuan Entertainment indeed possessed some power.

Yu Daohen cupped his fists and said, "I have no ill intentions. I'm just here to repay a debt."
