Chapter 976: Chapter 976: The City Lord Wants to See Him?
Jiang Xiaobai’s brows furrowed tightly upon hearing this.
He was chatting leisurely with Qiongyu, what did these bastards want, coming over to cause trouble?
“Get your dog paws off me,” Jiang Xiaobai snorted coldly.
He just couldn’t take it anymore, these dogs were really getting too cheeky.
Yet, to them, Jiang Xiaobai’s threatening words sounded like the buzzing of a mosquito.
They didn’t take him seriously at all, instead, the group burst into boisterous laughter.
The way they looked at the two of them was as if they were watching a clown perform.
“Why did you choose to pretend to be a scribe’s apprentice in the first place?”
Qiongyu sighed deeply.
“How would I know these… It’s my first time masquerading, and I did a poor job,” Jiang Xiaobai also sighed, then stood up.
The city lord’s retainer who had grabbed his shoulder was now smirking, “What’s the matter, scholar? You seem a bit defiant, don’t you?”
“My friend, to impose one’s will on another is not very kind, I’ve studied for over twenty years, not to perform for you all like monkeys,” Jiang Xiaobai said with a cordial smile.
He seemed only a folding fan away from a delicate scholar.
Again, the room erupted into laughter, with many clutching their bellies, almost to the point of gasping for air.
“You little scholar, indeed you speak so elegantly,”
the retainer said, his face suddenly turning cold, “But what I despise the most are scholars like you. Think you’re great because you can read? In this world, it’s the fist that speaks!”
“I’m giving you one last chance, don’t take it for granted. Even if you are the Wang Family’s apprentice, what of it? Beating you up here, do you think the Wang Family will stand up for you?”

This was why these city lord’s retainers dared to be so brazen.
Major families regarded these servants as no more significant than ants,
mere lackeys, and if they got beaten, it was nothing, especially by the city lord’s men, who were indeed the strongest family in Jade Emperor City!
Upon hearing these words, Jiang Xiaobai took another deep breath.
The fury could no longer be contained…
It seemed, without killing a few, no one would really understand what the name Jiang Bai meant.
Just as Jiang Xiaobai could no longer hold back and was about to make his move, a sudden reprimand came from outside.
“How dare you, to lay a hand on my Wang Family’s apprentice?”
Before the voice even faded, a figure had already rushed forward and slapped the city lord’s retainer, sending him flying.
The person turned out to be Wang Qian’an.
“A bunch of damned fools, those who know think you are the city lord’s retainers, those who don’t think you are the city lord!”
Wang Qian’an said with a face full of anger, “How dare you be presumptuous towards my apprentice, who gave you the courage?”
The sudden appearance of Wang Qian’an caught everyone by surprise.
Even the city lord’s steward who had been sitting in the seat of honor was startled and hurried to his feet.
“Miss Wang, you’ve misunderstood, we’re just fooling around…” the steward hurriedly argued defensively.
Slap!
Wang Qian’an, known for her fiery temper, raised her hand and gave him a slap that left the steward shaking with fury, revealing the aura of a true immortal.
“What of a true immortal, try and lay a hand on me,” Wang Qian’an said with a continuous sneer.
The steward truly didn’t dare to make a move…
Although he was the steward of the city lord’s residence, commanding respect in front of others, in the face of these major families’ direct descendants, he was nothing.
As these retainers had said, the city lord’s residence wouldn’t cause a stir with the Wang Family over such a trivial matter.
Especially since Lu Yishan and Wang Zhencheng were friends close as life and death!
“Miss Wang, it was our fault, please calm your anger,” the steward forced out a smile and said sheepishly.
Only then did Wang Qian’an harrumph, then looked towards Jiang Xiaobai, “Jiang Bai, although you’re my Wang Family’s apprentice, you’re not someone who can be bullied by just anyone.”
“You don’t beat a dog in front of its owner!”
Jiang Xiaobai cursed inwardly.
What are you saying, girl?
Who’s being called a dog here!
“Let’s go, to the front hall, the city master has heard of your impressive poetry and wants to witness your talent, this is a good opportunity to make a name for yourself!”
Wang Qian’an giggled as she pulled Jiang Xiaobai and Qiongyu towards the outside.
The entire area where the menial workers dined fell silent.
No one dared to be disrespectful to any servant of the Wang Family anymore…
Walking on the road, Jiang Xiaobai was pondering in secret.
Could the city master really be interested in seeing his poem composition skills? Impossible!
He thought of that lady from the city master’s mansion—Yaran!
“This woman must have seen through something about me, today is really a setup…”
Jiang Xiaobai estimated in his heart, was it time to reveal himself and take action now?
The secret realm hadn’t been opened yet, and if he really started fighting with the city master’s mansion, he, Jiang Xiaobai, would be at a disadvantage.
It would surely bring people from the Heaven Sea Sect!
According to Jiang Xiaobai’s original plan, he was to enter the secret realm covertly, take advantage of the situation, and nobody would know.
He wanted to hide his identity for as long as possible to minimize the chances of exposure.
“Hey, if we really have to take action tonight, then I’m truly an idiot for playing dumb!”
Jiang Xiaobai was furious inside.
If that were the case, there was no point in playing dumb; it would be better to just swagger through town!
He glanced at Qiongyu, who could understand the meaning in his eyes.
It would depend on the situation!
They quickly arrived at the front hall, where all eyes turned to them, but what concerned Jiang Xiaobai was the lady named Yaran.
Her gaze was sharp, always fixed on him.
“This is the scholar that Miss Wang has found? Indeed not bad, one can tell at a glance that he’s a learned man!” Sun Wang laughed heartily.
Wang Zhencheng also smiled faintly, “Old Sun, no need to tease, if my little daughter is not pleased, no one would hear any poems today.”
Laughter erupted again.
Then, Lu Yishan, who sat in the main seat, began smiling, “Come, let us see what talents you possess?”
Wang Qian’an smiled happily and hurriedly poked Jiang Xiaobai, who was cursing inside.
But he still recited a few poems casually, while the power of his Purple Sky Primordial Spirit slowly spread out.
He was checking these people for any problems.
Under close scrutiny, Jiang Xiaobai did find something amiss.
There was a faint power emanating from Yaran, as if she could see something!
It seemed that it wasn’t his original identity that had been exposed.
“Ahaha, excellent poem!”
Lu Yishan clapped and laughed, “Someone, bring a seat, such a scholar is a great talent, the Wang Family has truly found a treasure!”
Wang Zhencheng bowed in thanks, and then both took their seats.
After three rounds of wine, Lu Yishan suddenly put down his chopsticks and looked at everyone with a faint smile.
“Gentlemen, tomorrow is the time to open the secret realm, and before that, I have a few words to say.”
“You may know that I have some connections with the Heaven Sea Sect, in fact, I am a vassal under the Heaven Sea Sect, otherwise, I wouldn’t be sitting as the city master of Jade Emperor City!”
“And this time, regarding the cultivation secret realm… ah, to be frank, the Heaven Sea Sect has taken an interest in this realm!”
