The Enthusiastic Players

Clearly, this woman has completely clashed with Nan Xu.

If you just want to eat grilled skewers, you can buy them from other customers.

However, what she couldn't tolerate wasn't not being able to eat those few skewers, but rather that Nan Xu had offended her.

Upon hearing the woman's words, several servants immediately sprang into action, quickly approaching Nan Xu's barbecue stall.

Some diners at the back of the line couldn't stand it anymore when they saw this.

"Is there no justice left? How can they still force people to buy and sell?"

Several hot-blooded young men rushed out of the line, intending to stop the servants.

But those men were all skilled in martial arts, their fist and foot techniques were solid and solid, and they quickly broke free from the few young men who did not know martial arts, throwing them to the ground.

Others who were planning to step forward were also stunned by this scene and stood rooted to the spot, not daring to move.

Upon seeing this, the woman revealed a smug smile.

However, before she could be happy for long, she saw a group of rather strange people rushing out from the crowd.

They were saying some incomprehensible things:

"Quick, quick, the quest has appeared here!"

"Someone actually dares to bully Boss Nan Xu? I think they don't take us seriously at all!"

"Brothers, today is the day to die for righteousness! To protect the best of Nam-xu, let us go!"

"These randomly spawning villains should just obediently become experience points and favorability ratings!"

And so, a dozen or so players swarmed forward and surrounded the burly servants.

Among them were Xiaoyao Suifeng and Shiguang Ge, who were already eating barbecue skewers on the side, but were attracted by the noise of the argument.

"A bunch of rabble, how dare they lay a hand on me?" The noblewoman's anger surged. "Fine, fine, show them no mercy, break their bones!"

Upon hearing this, the leading servant immediately kicked out without hesitation, sending one of the players flying against the wall.

He kicked the player with considerable force as a show of defiance, causing the player to cough up blood and immediately lose consciousness.

But to his surprise, this scene did not scare away the players at all; on the contrary, it aroused their fighting spirit.

"Alright, alright, we're in combat now. We shouldn't have to worry about being a red name anymore."

"Not only did the enemy not surrender, but they even dared to attack us?"

"They're just a few NPCs, we can overwhelm them with sheer numbers!"

The players charged forward with howls, and the servants were immediately overwhelmed. They used all their martial arts skills to defend themselves and reduce the players' combat power as little as possible without killing anyone.

At the same time, they also had to spare some attention to protect the noble ladies, which made them, who were much more skilled in martial arts than the players, somewhat clumsy.

"This... Miss, your safety is more important. Perhaps we should retreat first..." the leading servant said in a low voice.

"Retreat what? Didn't you hear me say don't hold back? Kill them all!" the noblewoman roared.

Upon hearing this, the servants gritted their teeth, and a powerful surge of true energy coursed through their bodies; they were about to get serious.

But the next moment, the leader felt a chill on the back of his neck as a cold, piercing acupoint was struck, rendering him unable to move.

"Gentlemen, isn't this going too far?"

The others were terrified and quickly turned around, only to see that Nan Xu had somehow appeared beside them, standing with his hands behind his back.

Several servants, as if facing a formidable enemy, quickly retreated several steps and stood guard tightly in front of the noblewoman.

The noblewoman looked annoyed and was about to say something when she heard the sound of uniform footsteps coming from the entrance of Ningquan Residence not far away.

"Who dares to cause trouble at my Ningquan Residence?" Master Huang asked in a deep voice.

The leader of Tianfu followed closely behind, carrying two steel kitchen knives, and looked at the woman with hostility.

Behind them were the chefs of Ningquanju.

Beside the group from Ningquanju stood the young men who had intervened in the indignation but were thrown to the ground. It seemed they had gone in to inform the chefs of Ningquanju and brought them reinforcements.

Seeing that the other side had a large number of people and that she was in the wrong, the noblewoman's face turned pale and then red, looking extremely ugly.

In the end, she had no choice but to back down and say, "Fine, I won't buy it anymore. Let's go!"

"Wait a minute."

Master Huang reached out his hand and made a gesture of blocking.

"So this is the second young lady of the He family, right? Leading her servants to cause trouble at the entrance of my Ningquan Residence, and even injuring a customer... It's unacceptable not to give an explanation, isn't it?"

"You don't want us to report this to Shizhen Pavilion, do you?"

Players also chimed in with their support:

"Exactly!"

"Apologize to us!"

Miss He gritted her teeth, then waved her hand and instructed her servants, "Go! Give each of the injured some money for medical expenses!"

"Don't forget about the compensation for Master Nanxu." Master Huang's expression remained unchanged.

"Is this enough?"

Reluctantly, Miss He instructed her servant to take out an embroidered money pouch and place it on the cart.

Master Huang did not answer, but looked at Nan Xu.

A bright golden light shone from the bag. Nan Xu weighed it in his hand and nodded slightly.

Although he wasn't so easily swayed by such a small amount of money, the fact that he could offer this sum was at least a token of his sincerity.

If he still doesn't agree to a settlement at this point, he might be fine, but Ningquanju still needs to do business in Wanling.

Master Huang stood up for him out of loyalty, so he should reciprocate and not cause any more trouble for others.

"In that case, please go back." Master Huang nodded.

Miss He breathed a sigh of relief and led a group of servants away in a dejected manner.

After she left completely, a cheer suddenly erupted from the players!

"Holy crap, that's amazing! I barely lost any health, and I got this much money?"

"What about the guy who was knocked unconscious? Has he woken up? How much did he take?"

"This is a huge windfall! I knew following Nanxu would guarantee a life of luxury!"

Some of them even forgot to turn on the player channel, which made many of the locals present look a little strange.

At this moment, Nan Xu cleared his throat, drawing everyone's attention.

He first bowed deeply to the players, the chefs of Ningquanju, and the few righteous young men who had helped him.

"Thank you all for your help. Nanxu thanks you all."

"To express my gratitude, I would like to host a banquet for everyone at Ningquanju tomorrow noon. I will personally cook for you all to enjoy my first 'Feast of Life.' I hope you will not refuse."

Then, Nan Xu looked at the other diners still in line and said loudly:

"To all the diners who were delayed by this matter, I will offer a free skewer as an apology."
