Mythical Beasts: The Useless Lady Is a Genius!

The waiter took out the smelly shoe from his mouth angrily and spat before planning to argue with the old man.

Seeing that he really couldn’t win, the waiter didn’t plan to fight head-on. He only planned to kick the other party out after arguing.

However, before he could speak, he saw the old man wink at the two men in navy blue robes. “You two look so strange. Don’t tell me you’re planning to do something wicked?”

When everyone present heard the old man’s words, many of them suppressed their laughter as they thought to themselves, “How dare you say that others look strange with your appearance?”

Although these two men looked a little strange, they looked much more righteous than the old man in front of them.

The two men seemed to have no intention of paying attention to the old man. They picked up their tea and drank it, as if the person sitting on the table didn’t exist.

Their strange behavior made Kong Rui pay more attention to them.

Ordinary guests would probably have ordered the waiter to change tables even if they didn’t fight with the troublemaker.

However, the two of them acted as if nothing had happened. This made them seem fishy.

With this thought in mind, Kong Rui looked at the two of them.

The two of them seemed to have noticed the change in the surrounding gazes. The two of them shifted in their seats and one of them said to the old man, “Sir, we’ve never offended you and we’re just drinking tea here, so why did you insult us?”

As soon as that person spoke, everyone shifted their gazes to the old man accusingly.

After the old man picked up his wine gourd with one hand and took a big gulp, he placed his other hand on the table and bent his right leg. With his bare foot on the table, he glanced sideways at the person who spoke.

“What? I can’t even say a few words to you because I don’t like you? Or do you have some noble status?” The old man looked like he despised the other party.

The person who spoke earlier had a dark expression as he said to the old man, “Sir, we’re being polite to you. Please don’t push your luck!”

The old man chuckled and glanced in Kong Rui’s direction. “If you guys are really that polite, why did you guys stalk a little girl for so long?!”

When the two people in navy blue robes heard the old man’s words, their expressions changed.

Although the two of them didn’t look over, Kong Rui could sense that their attention was on her.

Kong Rui frowned as she cursed them inwardly. So these two fellows had been following her! She actually thought she had misunderstood them!

After Kong Rui cursed the two of them inwardly, she was immediately curious about why this old man was helping her.

Seeing that Kong Rui had realized it, the old man looked impressed.

He said to the two men again, “I’m not interested in what dirty things you want to do, but if you dare to bully a little girl in the imperial capital, don’t blame me for being merciless!”

After the old man finished speaking, he suddenly threw the wine gourd in his hand.

Although the two men were already on guard, they were still startled by the wine gourd that suddenly appeared in front of them.

The weapons in their hands flashed, but they were not as fast as the wine gourd and they were beaten black and blue.

The waiter who stood not far away touched his head with lingering fear when he saw the blood on their foreheads.

It seemed that this old man had shown mercy just now. Otherwise, he would have been smashed by the wine gourd long ago!

The waiter secretly heaved a sigh of relief and his original disgust towards the old man subsided. Even the smelly shoe in his hand that he didn’t have the time to throw away yet was no longer so disgusting.

Although the old man had taught the two men a lesson, this was only the old man’s side of the story. The victim that the old man had mentioned had never appeared, so the others present were dubious.

After all, the old man’s words were quite exaggerated, so his story was unbelievable if there was no evidence.

As everyone was thinking about it, Kong Rui had already stood up and came to the old man’s side.

She bowed to the old man. “Sir, thank you for your help!”

Everyone looked at Kong Rui in surprise, including the waiter. Could it be that the two of them were following this girl?

The old man waved his hand and said with a smile, “Didn’t you discover them long ago?! I’m just doing you a favor!”

Kong Rui had a smile on her face, but her eyes were filled with vigilance. “I wonder why you helped me?”

The old man smiled in relief.
