Chapter 976 A Test

"Y...You dare to challenge us!"

"Let's hit this useless young master, Big Brother!"

"Yeah, let's do it!"

"Let's teach this arrogant Bastar*!"

'Follow current novels on No v elBin.',

"GET HIM!"

"YOU DARE ATTACK ME!"

Because they ignore her and shift their anger back to Tao Bing Wen Lory continues to give her order to the anxious waitress, "Do you have any more grapes fruit? I will pay extra, Oh, can you also bring me meat buns and more hot tea?"

The waiter look petrified he just nod his head and then ran in a hurry as if he was chased by a ghost, Lory wondered if the waiter would bring her order? on the other hand, Mong Ki was worried that the commotion would make Lory uncomfortable so he asked worriedly, "Should we move somewhere else, Madam? I heard there is another cake shop that just opened near the main road" he persuade Lory with cakes.

Lory's eyes lit up hearing the news about the new cake shop "Really, we should check it out, I might buy some for Xi Ying too"

"As you wish, Madam, but please don't forget about Milord" Mong Ki politely reminded her.

Lory crossed her arms and sighed, "But, he doesn't like sweets and he already has everything…."

When it came to giving Zhao Li Xin a gift Lory was out of ideas, the man was ridiculously rich he was also an armament master which meant whatever he wanted he could make it with his own hands, even she couldn't do that. Besides she had already given him a magic amulet as protection from curses and dark spells apart from that Lory didn't know what else he could give him.

By the way, they never celebrated birthdays, neither hers nor Zhao Li Xin's because Zhao Li Xin didn't know exactly when she was born since she gave up when she was a baby and the birth date was announced in the Jiang Wei kingdom obviously not his actual birth date.

Lory also does not know when her birthday falls because the calendar in this world is different from her world, therefore Lory does not know exactly when her birthday is even before that Lory also rarely has any interest in her own birthday, and when her world plunge in endless darkness the matter of her birthday has long been forgotten in her minds, as a result, Lory and Zhao Li Xin never celebrated their birthdays.

After all, there's so much going on in their life that they don't have time to think about birthdays, anniversaries even having a proper wedding.

"I think that even if you give the lord a pebble, he will treasure it, nonetheless," said Mong Ki without the slightest hesitation.

Still, if Lory asked him what gift Lory should give his Lord, he would also have no idea unlike everyone else Zhao Li Xin didn't have many interests apart from honing his skills and cultivation, he also has any distinctive hobbies, since painting and music are just activities to pass his time although he is undeniably gifted however Zhao Li Xin didn't find it interesting to learn further.

As long as Mong Ki knows that Zhao Li Xin's favorite things are everything that is related to Lory, easier to understand it's Lory herself.

"Hey you there, help me get rid of this bunch of ass hol*!" Tao Bing Wen suddenly turned towards Lory.

"You dare to call us ASS HOL*!" shouted the boys of the Iron Horse angrily.

Lory looked at them with a flat expression, she didn't understand why they were shouting at each other like a shrew instead of punching each other, Lory looked at them then pointed at herself "But I'm just a girl"

Tao Bing Wen forgot about it so he turn his head to Mong Ki asking for help.

"Sorry, I'm so weak," Mong Ki said in a monotone voice as he lied through his teeth without blinking.

Tao Bing Wen was taken aback he didn't expect Lory to refuse to help him he really thought that after he helped her then she would no doubt risk her life for him, it was even funnier because Tao Bing Wen knew Lory's identity as a commoner who didn't have money, power, moreover strength to defend herself yet he expected her to fight with one of the most influential sects in the Hwang Wu continent.

Lory thought this kid was not only spoiled but also very stupid.

Tao Bing Wen lost expression making the Iron Horse sect members laugh, he thought Tao Bing Wen was very stupid for asking an outcast and weak woman like Mong Ki as his backer but, in Lory and Mong Ki's opinion they were all as stupid as Tao Bing Wen because if they realized it, they would notice something strange about them because from the start neither Lory nor Mong Ki showed any concern on their faces even though they were facing a quarrel between the Sword Saint sect heir and the sect members of the Iron Horse Sect while everyone else had already left the restaurant even the owner was hiding behind the counter and the waiters huddled in a corner hoping that no one would notice their presence.

Tao Bing Wen's face was deathly pale, he knew he couldn't win against any of them let alone all of them at the same time. Accustomed to having people who always comply with his wishes Tao Bing Wen did not expect that there would be people who did not comply with his wishes.

"So, what are you going to do young master?" one of the young members of the Iron Horse taunted with a sickening grin growing on his face.

The other young members laughed at Tao Bing Wen's helpless appearance so he mocked him "Why don't you kneel before us, if you did, we might forgive you, right brother?!"

"Yes, do it!" the other members clapped and burst out laughing.

Tao Bing Wen could feel rage surge within his chest it was a mix of shame, anger, and frustration knowing he had no chance of winning if he fight them alone but if he were to kneel here not only would he will humiliate his name but also his family and his sects.

Lory propped her chin with both hands seemingly indifferent as she watched what Tao Bing Wen was going to do, a glint of interest flashed in her eyes, whether Tao Bing Wen would give up or push through even without even a chance to win.

"Why does Madam care about that spoiled kid?" Mong Ki ask curiously in a low voice that only the two of them could hear.

Lory shrugs nonchalantly "His nature is not that bad, he's just spoiled"

"Is that a good thing?" Mong Ki didn't understand what Lory thinking

"Even the most beautiful flower grows through the dirt so I wonder..." a reticent smile appears on her face.

Tao Bing Wen clenched his fists until his knuckles turned white, he was afraid of being hit but what he was most afraid of was confirming people's words that he was a useless child, that he did not deserve to be a descendant of the Tao family the founder of the Sword Saint sect, also he is unworthy of being Tao Ji Fang's son.

"N…No" Tao Bing Wen's voice trembled but his eyes were brimmed with unwavering determination "I won't…I won't kneel before you, ANY OF YOU!"

The Iron Horse members did not expect that Tao Bing Wen would be brave enough to refute them bluntly at the same time people were staring at them while muttering to each other, by now, they already could guess that people would gossip about their misbehavior towards Tao Bing Wen but they thought if they were succeeding in humiliating Tao Bing Wen in front of public people would prone to gossip about Tao Bing wen's cowardice than talking about their bad manners but who would have thought that Tao Bing Wen dare to go against them, as a result, incited the public admiration.

"Hump, a coward like you dare to pretend to be brave, we'll see if you still dare to talk big after I teach you a lesson!" One of the youths lunges toward Tao Bing Wen while launching his fist at Tao Bing Wen's face.

Instantly a fight broke, but because Tao Bing Wen valiantly challenged them the members of the Iron Horse Sect did not dare to gang up on Tao Bing Wen fearing that people would say they were a bunch of cowards who bullied the weak.

If Lory finds out what the members of the Iron Horse sect think she will say 'You don't have to worry, people already think so!'
