In an instant, the atmosphere in the entire shop turned cold, and everyone detected the anger in the words of the young man from the Commandery City.
The waiter also assumed a stern expression and said, "This is the Mansion Master's territory, don't make trouble!"
Chu Nan said calmly, "I buy and you sell. Is it wrong for me to ask if it can stay fresh or not?"
The waiter felt Chu Nan didn't actually have the money to buy and was deliberately finding fault, so he said arrogantly, "If this Reishi Mushroom is rotten, you can chop off one of my hands!"
After saying that, the waiter crossed his arms and watched to see what Chu Nan would do next.
Bam!
Chu Nan slapped his hand on the counter, directly taking out 20,000 gold notes and slapping them on the countertop, saying, "One share of Reishi Mushrooms, I want it now."
Zheng Yao looked at Chu Nan in surprise and didn't know where he got so much money from.
However, she knew Chu Nan did this to vent his anger, so she didn't stop him.
The waiter showed a disdainful smile at the corner of his mouth. He was not actually afraid of Chu Nan really buying because this was the Mansion Master's territory, even if he really sold him something rotten, would he actually dare to chop off his hand?
At that time, if Chu Nan didn't take action, he would instead suffer even greater humiliation and embarrassment.
"Alright, then wait here." The waiter put away the 20,000 gold notes and turned to start selecting the Reishi Mushrooms.
If he took out a fresh one, Chu Nan would have no reason to cause trouble, but the waiter deliberately chose one that was obviously rotten and brought it out.
His purpose was to make Chu Nan publicly embarrassed here.
The rotten Reishi Mushrooms were worthless, not even deserving a plate; the waiter directly threw a whole bunch in front of Chu Nan.
The stench of the fruit juice immediately flowed out, emanating a foul odor.
"Here are your Reishi Mushrooms, take them back home to eat."
"These are Reishi Mushrooms sold by the Mansion Master, they are never stale, and if someone says they are stale, they are challenging the Mansion Master!"
The waiter coldly smiled at Chu Nan, waiting to see how he would act.
At that moment, everyone's attention was on them. Just one look, and you could see the Reishi Mushrooms on the counter were already rotten.
However, no one spoke. They were waiting to see if Chu Nan would swallow this humiliation or take action.
Doing anything here would be as good as courting death.
But if Chu Nan just left like that, he would surely become a laughingstock.
Most appearing in the Cyan Profound Mansion at this time were martial artists participating in the Cyan Profound Contest.
Once the contest started, if Chu Nan was recognized, what happened here would certainly spread throughout Qingxuan Province after the contest ended.
By then, no matter how talented Chu Nan was, he would not escape others' ridicule behind his back.
Zheng Yao also realized this, regretting that they should have left earlier. Now it was a dilemma; what should Chu Nan do?
Chu Nan glanced at the Reishi Mushrooms on the counter and said unabashedly, "These Reishi Mushrooms are rotten, aren't they?"
The waiter didn't expect Chu Nan to be so stubborn, daring to point it out, so he sneered and said, "So what if they are rotten, can't eat them?"
"Unless you eat it and then say whether it's rotten or not!"
The waiter was humiliating Chu Nan, a mere Spirit Pill Martial Artist from the Commandery City, dared to flaunt here, today he would give Chu Nan a lesson!
Although he was just a small waiter, he came from the Cyan Profound Mansion and could look down on outsiders.
"Eat? How about you eat it!"
Chu Nan's eyes flashed sharply; he didn't take a mere Spirit Pill Realm waiter seriously.
He grabbed the waiter's head and directly pressed it onto the rotten Reishi Mushrooms.
Hearing a puffing sound, the rotten juice splattered, and under Chu Nan's spiritual power manipulation, it all surged into the waiter's nose.
"Ah!"
The waiter screamed, a large amount of rotten juice gushed from his mouth and nose, making him smell unbearable.
He angrily said to Chu Nan, "Bastard, you dare to lay hands on me, I..."
Before he could finish his words, Chu Nan coldly said, "You just said if the Reishi Mushrooms were not fresh, chop off one of your hands, do it now."
Buzz~
The Willow Branch Sword instantly appeared, and as Chu Nan's sword light flashed, accompanied by a piercing scream, the waiter's left hand was chopped off completely.
Blood flowed profusely for a moment, mixing with the rotten juice to emit an even worse stench.
Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned, no one had expected that a martial artist from the Commandery City would dare to act on the Mansion Master's territory, truly audacious.
The waiter lay on the ground clutching his hand, letting out a blood-curdling scream, staring fiercely at Chu Nan and shouted, "You're finished, you're finished."
"I will kill you, I will kill you!"
The commotion here quickly caught the attention of the entire shop, and soon a large number of martial artists surged out from the back room.
Seeing the situation here, they surrounded Chu Nan and Zheng Yao without a word.
The waiter, clutching his arm, pointed at Chu Nan and snarled, "Kill him, kill him for me, I want him dead, I want him dead!"
"What's going on here?" A middle-aged man who looked like a shopkeeper asked.
The waiter immediately said, "This brat from the Commandery City doesn't have money to buy Reishi Mushrooms, and then he caused trouble here, cutting off one of my hands!"
With just one sentence, the waiter absolved himself completely, wanting to put Chu Nan to death.
The shopkeeper frowned and looked at Chu Nan and said, "Kid, regardless of who you are, you should know the consequences of causing trouble on the Mansion Master's territory, right?"
"Causing trouble?" Chu Nan feigned innocence and said, "I wouldn't dare to make trouble on the Mansion Master's ground, senior, you shouldn't listen to this guy's one-sided story."
Immediately, Chu Nan explained the whole process, ending by saying a bit regretfully, "I spent a full 20,000 gold, planning to eat well this time and buy more in the future."
"In the end, not only did I not get fresh Reishi Mushrooms, this guy also forced me to eat them."
"Senior, if you were in this situation, could you bear it?"
The expression of the middle-aged shopkeeper changed slightly, realizing it was the waiter's problem, and his tone gradually softened, "Even so, you shouldn't have cut off his hand."
Once again, Chu Nan said, "Senior, I ask you, could you bear it?"
"Do you also think that even if the martial artists from the Commandery City have money, they're not worthy of eating Reishi Mushrooms?"
These words left the middle-aged shopkeeper unable to stand on the waiter's side anymore.
This was the Mansion Master's industry, and if word got out that the Mansion Master looked down on martial artists from the Commandery City, it would cause a stir in several commanderies of Qingxuan Province.
Moreover, the two in front of him were here to participate in the Cyan Profound Contest. If something happened on the Mansion Master's territory, it would trigger a series of undesirable reactions.
This would be very detrimental to the Mansion Master managing all of Qingxuan Province, and he dared not cause such trouble over a mere waiter.
"Shopkeeper, don't listen to this kid's nonsense. He's just a native of Commandery City, even if you cripple him, he wouldn't dare do anything!" The waiter said resentfully at this time.
Slap!
"I'll cripple you first!" The shopkeeper slapped the waiter, sending him flying to the ground, then angrily scolded, "All because of you, how dare a mere waiter be so arrogant, who gave you such courage."
"Go to the back room and receive a hundred lashes, then destroy your own cultivation, and get out of Cyan Profound Mansion."
"If I see you in Cyan Profound Mansion again, I will cut off your head!"
