Chapter 8

That night, after the last guest had left, the Drunken Immortal Tower finally returned to its peaceful state.

Wang Ye sat at the counter, closed the account book he had just finished, and took out a document.

Due to the bustling business during the day, Wang Ye had no time to check the content of the document on the street market.

Helpless, he had Li San take a look and bring it over so he could see what was written in the document that had caused such a stir.

His eyes scanned the document, and Wang Ye shook his head, looking both amused and exasperated.

"Damn, this government document should quit his job and go tell stories at a teahouse!"

As he spoke, Wang Ye slapped the document on the table and said, "This thing written by Ah Ji is just as ridiculous as flying through the clouds and catching demons!"

"I was wondering why today's business was so abnormally good, turns out it's because of this!"

"According to how this document is written, it would be a miracle if nothing goes wrong!"

At this moment, Wang Ye was truly speechless.

He never imagined that the normally strict and fair Jinling government could write such a ridiculous announcement!

If Ah Ji, that little rascal, didn't add his own embellishments, that would be truly strange!

"Boss!"

Just as Wang Ye was feeling helpless, Ah Ji's voice came from the side.

Turning his head, he saw Ah Ji twist his muscular body and come to his side, bumping Wang Ye with his shoulder and saying in a sly manner, "Doing the accounts?"

"What's up?"

Looking at Ah Ji, Wang Ye raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Made a lot of money today, didn't we?"

Ah Ji's words and actions were full of arrogance.

"Still pretty good, today's earnings are eight times what they usually are."

Wang Ye responded calmly to Ah Ji's words.

"Do you know why today's earnings are eight times what they usually are?"

Ah Ji's words became even more affected and annoying.

"Because of you, right?"

Wang Ye replied softly, but the veins on his forehead were slowly bulging.

Although Ah Ji was always annoying, today's behavior made him even more inclined to take action.

"Smart guy."

Hearing Wang Ye's words, Ah Ji pushed him and said, "Guessed it right away..."

"Right my ass!"

Before Ah Ji could finish, Wang Ye raised his hand and gave him a hard knock on the head: "Look at your effeminate and disgusting appearance, even the madam of the brothel isn't as repulsive as you!"

"If you keep talking like this, I'll sell you to the brothel as a pimp tomorrow!"

"Hey, I found it!"

After being hit by Wang Ye, Ah Ji held his head and said, "I found out you're the type who eats with a bowl and then curses with a chopstick. Without me, would today's earnings have been eight times as much!?"

"You've been leaning against the door frame and sighing for ages!"

"You still have the nerve to bring this up!"

Hearing Ah Ji's words, Wang Ye became even angrier.

He picked up the government document he had just read and slapped it in front of Ah Ji, saying, "I ask you, is the content in this document what you told the government!?"

"I fought off eight bandits yesterday, isn't that the truth? What's wrong with the government reporting it truthfully!?"

While refuting Wang Ye's words, Ah Ji unfolded the government document.

But it was better not to unfold it. After scanning it, Ah Ji looked up at Wang Ye with a red face, clearly unable to accept the content of the document: "Boss, is this really the government document?"

"What do you think? I want to ask you the same thing!"

Looking at Ah Ji's face, Wang Ye responded, "What did you say to the government when I asked you to report it yesterday!?"

"I just told them about fighting off the bandits from the Heavenly Gang yesterday..."

At this moment, Ah Ji looked at Wang Ye and said reluctantly, "Of course, I embellished the process a bit..."

"Embellished a bit?!"

Before Ah Ji could finish, Wang Ye interrupted, "This document is almost as ridiculous as flying through the clouds and catching demons. If you're so capable, why don't you protect Tang Sanzang on his journey to the West?"

At this moment, Wang Ye was so angry that his liver was trembling.

Ah Ji was really good at nothing but causing trouble.

Such a big matter could have been handled quietly, with the government taking the blame.

But Ah Ji, that little rascal, wanted to show off and embellished the whole process to the government.

Now, the news of Ah Ji saving Luo Changtian and killing the Heavenly Gang members had spread throughout the city.

"Alright, both of you, stop arguing and let's eat."

Just as Wang Ye was glaring at Ah Ji, Chen Chong came into the hall with four dishes and a soup: "Do you two ever get tired of arguing? Besides, it's not that big a deal."

"Not that big a deal?"

Hearing Chen Chong's words, Wang Ye turned his head and said, "Chen Chong, don't be so casual. If the Heavenly Gang finds out about this, the consequences will be unimaginable. What will we do when they come to our door?"

"But boss, the matter has already happened. We just need to deal with it, no need to talk about it."

Chen Chong shook his head and placed the bowls and chopsticks on the table.

"Right, the matter has already happened. We just need to face it, no need to talk about it."

Hearing Chen Chong's words, Ah Ji stiffened his neck and said matter-of-factly.

"Hey, I..."

Seeing Ah Ji's annoying appearance, Wang Ye was about to take action.

But at that moment, a knocking sound suddenly came from the door.

Bang bang bang!

Hearing the sound, Wang Ye and Ah Ji immediately stopped.

Everyone slowly turned their heads, their eyes landing on the already closed door.

It was already night, and the Drunken Immortal Tower had closed for the day.

At this time, who would suddenly visit?

Could it be the Heavenly Gang?

At this thought, a bad feeling rose in everyone's hearts.

Bang bang bang!

Just as everyone was guessing, the sound came again.

This time, the sound was much louder, indicating that the person knocking had increased their force.

"Open the door!"

After the sound, a voice suddenly came from outside!

Hearing the voice, everyone's hearts sank again.

Could it really be the Heavenly Gang?

"Sir, our shop is closed. If you want to eat, please come back tomorrow!"

Thinking about it, Wang Ye took a deep breath and said to the person outside the door.

His voice trembled, as if he was truly very afraid.

"I'm looking for someone!"

Hearing Wang Ye's words, the voice outside continued.

"Who... who are you looking for?"

At this moment, Ah Ji spoke up.

"I'm looking for the young hero who fought off eight bandits yesterday, Ah Ji!"

The voice outside immediately responded.
