"Elder Ye is about to make a move!"
"This boyfriend of Qin Lan is way too arrogant, he actually dared to hit Young Master Jin. Elder Ye is a Peak of Hua Realm master, one of the three High-ranked Guests of the Jin Family. Once he makes a move, this kid’s fate is sealed—there’s only one road, death!"
Jin Ziliang also staggered to his feet, glaring at Chen Xiao and hoarsely shouting, "Elder Ye, cripple him for ! I want to grind his bones to dust!"
"Today... even if God ca, he couldn’t save him!"
"Young Master Jin, don’t worry. Dealing with a greenhorn like this is as easy as a snap of the fingers." Elder Ye’s voice was proud, his body vanished like lightning, and when he reappeared, his fist was already directed at Chen Xiao!
Jin Ziliang sneered. No matter how formidable this kid might be, could he surpass Elder Ye? Just this one punch from Elder Ye could likely shatter all his internal organs!
But the next second, his expression froze—
Chen Xiao rely raised a hand, effortlessly stopping the fierce punch. Elder Ye’s mighty power seed to vanish into thin air!
In fact, Chen Xiao’s body didn’t move an inch!
"As easy as a snap of the fingers?" Chen Xiao looked calmly at Elder Ye. "Who gave you this confidence, Old Deng?"
Elder Ye’s face turned pale as he tried to withdraw his fist, only to find that Chen Xiao’s strength was astonishing.
"Get lost!" Chen Xiao pushed forcefully, sending Elder Ye’s aged body flying until he lay on the ground, unable to get up, and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Elder Ye, defeated in one move?
Seeing this scene, fear filled Jin Ziliang’s face, "Who... who are you really?"
"My na is Chen Xiao!" Chen Xiao’s voice was indifferent!
Upon hearing these two words, Jin Ziliang’s face instantly grew pale, nearly passing out.
Chen Xiao!!!
Of course, he had heard of this na.
The comrcial battle between Lu Rugao and the Luo Group was already no secret, and it was well-known in the upper circles that the Lu Family had suffered a great defeat at the hands of Chen Xiao!
All three High-ranked Guests of the Lu Family were defeated by him; in terms of combat power, who could rival this freak?
Jin Ziliang had heard of Chen Xiao’s ruthlessness, and now any arrogant attitude was completely quashed.
The surrounding scene erupted in an uproar.
So, this young man was the Chen Xiao who had thoroughly subdued the Lu Family recently!
This event had caused quite a stir in the Divine Land.
The Lu Family was utterly defeated in this incident; not only was their financial power crushed, but even their martial power was overpowered, their reputation plumting. Even the Lu Family’s precious ’jewel’ was sent over to Chen Xiao as a hostage...
The tales behind this are truly thought-provoking.
Chances are, Lu Rugao’s heart has long been taken by Chen Xiao.
Could soone capable of forcing the Lu Family to such an extent be an ordinary person?
Chen Xiao looked down at Jin Ziliang and asked indifferently, "Are you convinced by this slap?!"
Jin Ziliang’s face burned with pain!
But how could he dare to rebut even a single word?
He imdiately put on a smile, bowing to Chen Xiao, "Young Master Chen, for to be struck by you is my honor! Besides, since my brother and I share the sa mother, it’s only reasonable for to take a few slaps for offending you on his behalf."
He had now changed his mind.
Now was the crucial ti for him to compete for power against Jin Zilong, and with Jin Zilong having offended Chen Xiao, the opportunity was his to seize!
If he could push Jin Zilong out of the way, his status as heir would be secured!
Now, the most important thing was to curry favor with Chen Xiao.
anwhile, he could subtly step on Jin Ziliang in front of everyone.
With this thought, he shouted, "Soone, bring out the fine wine I’ve treasured for so long to present to Lord Chen. I shall punish myself with three cups, apologizing to Lord Chen for my brother’s transgressions. The sin my brother committed, it is I, his younger brother, who will bear it!"
These words imdiately earned him praise from those present, as Second Young Master Jin took two slaps for his brother, yet bore no resentnt, instead trying to resolve the grudges for his brother.
Such generosity and spirit were far superior to Jin Zilong, who lets his brother take the fall.
Chen Xiao smirked, clearly recognizing that these two Jin family brothers were not seeing eye to eye.
Jin Ziliang’s words just now clearly thrust Jin Zilong into the fire! Jin Zilong’s ss needed Jin Ziliang as the brother to endure it on his behalf... If this spread, Jin Zilong’s reputation would be utterly ruined!
Indeed, these people from great families have more cunning than one could count.
Jin Ziliang brought out a bottle of aged wine, downing three large cups in one go, then patting his chest, "Lord Chen, my brother offended you, you can vent your anger on just fine. I am his brother; suffering punishnt for him is only right."
"I only beg you not to trouble him anymore."
"Also, today I offended you, Lord Chen, for not recognizing true greatness. I am willing to accept punishnt."
"Forget it, every grievance has its perpetrator," Chen Xiao said lightly, "With you saying this, doesn’t it make look petty? Am I such a small-minded person? Hmm?"
"Of course not, of course not!"
Jin Ziliang quickly flattered, "For you to only slap twice shows your magnanimity!"
Although he said this, internally, his turmoil was strong—if you weren’t small-minded, dammit why’d you slap twice out of the blue? Acting both as the villain and the hero!
Yet, these thoughts were words he dared not utter.
"Lord Chen, please have a seat—"
He respectfully invited Chen Xiao to sit.
Chen Xiao nodded, not standing on ceremony, and took a seat boldly, pulling Qin Lan to sit beside him.
Jin Ziliang promptly poured them a glass of wine.
At this mont, Mila, who had remained silent, suddenly stood up voluntarily.
She smiled softly, "Mr. Chen, let offer you a toast in accordance with the Divine Land’s customs."
Her eyes openly displayed her interest in Chen Xiao.
After all, she was familiar with the situation in the Divine Land— the Jin Family was a colossal entity there, yet after Jin Ziliang received two slaps from Chen Xiao, he was even more courteous to him, which seed unimaginable to her!
As a woman, she had a natural curiosity for powerful and mysterious n.
In essence... she admired strength.
Even Mila, whose identity was so distinguished, as the Princess of the Yama Group, was no exception.
It was precisely her unique status that common n couldn’t catch her eye. Only soone like Chen Xiao, with a hint of mystery, could pique her interest.
And even more importantly... Chen Xiao perfectly matched her aesthetic—handso, with deep-set facial features, thick eyebrows, and big eyes, exuding spirit and elegance, a veritable heartthrob.
In her view, such a man also embodied the "exotic charm" of the Orient.
Seeing her initiate conversation, Chen Xiao smiled slightly, raising his glass to clink with hers, "Miss Mila, I have long admired your reputation. Today, my girlfriend and I ca here just to have a glimpse of you."
"Miss Mila is so beautiful that speaking to you makes a bit nervous."
Though he said this, Chen Xiao was perfectly composed, showing no signs of nervousness.
"Mr. Chen, in your Divine Land you would say you have a glib tongue," Mila laughed heartily, full of charm, "A man like you, in the Divine Land, seems to have a term... isn’t it called a scoundrel?"
"I am only stating the truth." Chen Xiao remained earnest, "I’m known for being an honest person. Additionally, Miss Mila, you are too kind. The term ’Mr. Chen’ is too formal yet too intimate."
"Oh?" Mila looked intrigued, "I understand it being formal, but how is it intimate?"
Chen Xiao solemnly responded, "The term ’Mr.’ in our Divine Land isn’t just a form of respect, it also has a connotation of ’husband.’ When addressed so, it’s easy to cause misunderstandings."
Mila wasn’t upset, instead, she asked with curiosity, "Then how should I address you?"
"According to our Divine Land customs, addressing soone by their na is more cordial among friends. I’m Chen by surna, Xiao is my given na, and my style na is Xianggong. Miss Mila can call Xianggong."
Everyone: "..."
This guy was audacious beyond asure, was he taking advantage of Mila’s perhaps lack of foundational education, openly teasing her?
Qin Lan imdiately turned black in the face, discreetly pinching his waist.
Cheekily flirting with her, seriously?
