"Who's causing trouble?" Qin Shopkeeper asked his attendant on the way to the Guest room.

"Reporting to Shopkeeper Qin, it's Miss Olivia Wang from the Wang Family hosting Young Master Miles Ye, and they've invited some other young masters and misses from various families. It seems the trouble started because an unknown nobody offended them."

Hearing that the troublemaker was an unknown nobody, Qin Shopkeeper had a good idea of the situation. Miles Ye was a direct descendant of the Ye Family, highly valued by them, and he was being opposed by a nobody—it was clear whose side to take.

Soon, Qin Shopkeeper entered the Guest room.

He glanced at the disarray inside the room and couldn't help but frown slightly, but quickly returned to his usual demeanor.

Miles Ye's companion, Cris Zhou, saw Qin Shopkeeper come in and pointed at Terra Su in the room: "Shopkeeper, you've arrived just in time. This man has injured Levi Wang in your Drunk Immortal Residence. Surely you won't stand by and do nothing?"

Qin Shopkeeper looked at Miles Ye, then turned to glance at Terra Su's ordinary attire, chuckled, and with his hands tucked in his sleeves, tried to defuse the situation with a smile: "Let's all calm down and talk this through."

Truth be told, Qin Shopkeeper didn't need to curry favor with Miles Ye given his relationship with the Princess Anyang's estate.

But as a businessman, he naturally wouldn't want to offend the Ye Family without good reason.

Moreover, someone had been injured in the Drunk Immortal Residence, and they couldn't just ignore that, especially since the assailant appeared to be an ordinary person without any background.

Immediately, Qin Shopkeeper signaled to several tall and burly guards with a glance.

The guards exuded an intimidating presence as they approached Terra Su.

Emma Jiang stood up abruptly, blocking Terra Su's path, and said: "It was clearly Levi Wang who started this. Does the Drunk Immortal Residence handle matters so unfairly?"

Cris Zhou retorted fiercely: "Enough talk! Terra Su broke Levi Wang's leg, and we all saw it. He must pay for this!"

"Terra Su?"

Qin Shopkeeper, with his sharp hearing, caught the name mentioned by the young man and was intrigued.

Wasn't the benefactor mentioned by Princess Mia in the VIP room also named Terra Su?

As the guards were about to reach Terra Su, Qin Shopkeeper quickly intervened: "Wait a moment!"

His gaze lingered on Terra Su, hesitating. Could it really be such a coincidence? Or was it just someone with the same name?

"Young man, are you called Terra Su?" Qin Shopkeeper probed.

Terra Su nodded slightly.

"This morning at the Five Treasures Hall, did you treat an elderly man?" Qin Shopkeeper asked, feeling it was unlikely—the benefactor mentioned by the princess just happened to be dining in the Drunk Immortal Residence? It must be a coincidence of names.

But to Qin Shopkeeper's surprise, Terra Su answered calmly: "You mean the elder bitten by the Cold-Hearted Python? I treated him."

It was him!

Indeed, it was him!

Qin Shopkeeper had no doubt about Terra Su's identity, for an imposter couldn't possibly know the details of the elder's injury.

"Shopkeeper, why are you chatting with this guy? Give him a good beating!" Cris Zhou, seeing Qin Shopkeeper not taking action but instead chatting with Terra Su, grew impatient.

However, to Cris Zhou's surprise, the usually amiable Qin Shopkeeper suddenly turned stern, gave him a cold look, and said firmly: "I'm speaking with a distinguished guest, please shut your mouth!"

Distinguished guest?

Who?

Cris Zhou stood there, puzzled.

Qin Shopkeeper took a deep breath and quickly approached Terra Su.

To everyone's astonishment, Qin Shopkeeper bowed to Terra Su in front of everyone, then respectfully said: "I failed to recognize you earlier, my apologies, Young Master Su!"

"Why would Young Master Su come to the Guest room? Could it be a mistake? The VIP room guests have prepared a banquet waiting for you, please come with me."

Qin Shopkeeper truly hadn't expected Terra Su to choose the Guest room over the invitation from Princess Mia in the VIP room. The only explanation was that Terra Su had entered the wrong room.

As Qin Shopkeeper spoke, the Guest room fell into a stunned silence.

Miles Ye, Cris Zhou, Levi Wang, Olivia Wang, Emma Jiang...

Everyone thought they had misheard.

VIP room guests waiting for Terra Su?

How could it be?

The Drunk Immortal Residence's VIP room was reserved for guests of the highest caliber, not just in terms of wealth but also status!

Only individuals of the Patriarch level or higher from Clear River City's three major families were qualified to book the Drunk Immortal Residence's VIP room!

And as far as they knew, none of the Patriarchs had plans to entertain guests today, so the VIP room's guests could only be someone of even higher status.

Such a high-profile figure was hosting a banquet for Terra Su?

Olivia Wang found it hardest to accept. Wasn't Terra Su just Emma's cousin? At best, he was a discarded disciple of the Orthodox One Sect, with a cultivation level of only the eighth layer of the Inducing Qi Realm. How could he possibly be the guest of honor for such a prominent figure?

What made Olivia Wang feel even more humiliated was that she had mocked Terra Su for bragging about going to the Earth or VIP rooms.

The reality now slapped her like a scorching slap across the face.

Cris Zhou and Levi Wang also averted their gazes, their eyes filled with fear instead of the ferocity they had shown towards Terra Su earlier.

Emma Jiang felt the most conflicted. She had already regretted letting Terra Su join the banquet, and the insults he received from everyone made her feel terrible, yet she resented Terra Su for not standing up for himself.

But unexpectedly, the development of events took her by surprise.

This cousin she had always looked down upon was actually invited by the VIP room's dignitary.

"Young Master Su, shall we move to the VIP room?" Qin Shopkeeper asked.

Terra Su nodded indifferently, stood up, and left with Qin Shopkeeper.

After the two departed, a pin-drop silence fell over the Guest room.

"Hmph!" Miles Ye, who had been silent throughout, finally slammed down his wine cup, his face ashen with rage!

As one of the top talents of Clear River City's younger generation, when had he not been the center of attention?

Yet this time, Qin Shopkeeper didn't even consult him before publicly snubbing him and taking Terra Su away!

And Miles Ye couldn't even take issue with Qin Shopkeeper, knowing full well that the shopkeeper had powerful backers, which was why the Drunk Immortal Residence had thrived for so many years!

"Terra Su!"

Miles Ye coldly spat out the name, his frustration and displeasure of the day all directed at Terra Su.

"You got lucky today, I'll let you off. Next time, it won't be so easy!"

What Miles Ye didn't know was that Terra Su was even more frustrated at the moment!

If Qin Shopkeeper hadn't intervened, Terra Su was ready to deal with Miles Ye, and even if he couldn't kill him, he could have made him suffer on the spot!

But Qin Shopkeeper's arrival meant Terra Su had to abandon his plan and temporarily let Miles Ye off the hook.
