The onlookers gathered, and all eyes turned toward the owner of the Rice Shop.
The Rice Shop owner shouted to the crowd, "I've been running this small shop for several decades, thanks to everyone's patronage. Today, there's no rice in the store, yet someone insisted on buying rice, forcing me to risk my old life today. At my age, even if I die here today, it'll have been worth it. I just ask for everyone, young and old, to be my witness. If someone asks in the future, at least speak a word of truth for me!"
More and more spectators gathered, and Du Zhaohui became increasingly nervous.
His subordinates stepped forward to drive away the crowd, but it was useless; no one listened to their yelling.
Seeing that the situation was about to escalate, a Cultivator named Chen Yusheng stood by Du Zhaohui's side—a Fifth Layer Martial Cultivator.
This man was clever and could see the situation clearly.
