Eternal Saber Chapter 53: The Road Ahead Is Long

"And you few!"

Chen Tang wasn’t planning to let it go at that, he jumped into the crowd, and with a few backhanded slaps, he smacked the faces of several teenagers’ parents.

"Not disciplining your children is one thing, but bullying others, your foul mouths deserve this!"

These people were hurling obscenities at Zhiwei just now.

Slap! Slap! Slap!

In no ti, Chen Tang had beaten them black and blue, making them fall to the ground.

The crowd that had gathered suddenly dispersed.

Chen Tang held a long, gleaming knife, his brow ominous, his gaze like a wolf watching a tiger, ordinary people didn’t dare to approach, fearing that any mistake could lead to bloodshed on the spot!

Seeing Chen Tang like this, even those who were trying to diate kept silent.

The guards from Plum Blossom Martial Arts Hall instinctively looked at i Nianzhi.

After all, they practiced martial arts year-round, and as long as i Nianzhi gave the order, the guards would naturally act to subdue Chen Tang.

i Nianzhi lowered his gaze slightly and shook his head imperceptibly.

In his view, although Chen Tang’s actions were sowhat intense, they were still within reason and understandable.

If it were Yingxue being bullied like this, in his rage, he might do the sa.

Otherwise, if he wanted to stop it, it wasn’t like he didn’t have the opportunity just now.

Those families were rely relying on their wealth, letting their children act recklessly.

In their eyes, bullying that maid was no big deal, so what?

That Chen Tang, born in the wilderness, with low status and considered useless, dare to challenge them?

Unexpectedly, today they t soone tough.

Teaching them a lesson is good too.

"Madman, he’s truly a madman!"

"Ziqi, let’s not bother with him."

"Acting like that, he’ll suffer greatly sooner or later!"

Those people didn’t dare to co forward, they could only murmur complaints, shooting Chen Tang so fierce glances before turning to leave.

Chen Tang looked at that group, and said calmly, "Next ti open your eyes, don’t ss with the wrong person."

"What’s your arrogance about, I think you’re just a bully of the weak."

Unwilling to accept it, soone instigated, "This matter was started by Gou Dai, why don’t you dare to touch him? You’re just afraid of the Evil Wolf Gang, and only have the nerve to flash a knife at us."

Chen Tang just smiled, glancing at Gou Dai hiding among the Evil Wolf Gang guards, without refuting.

In Chen Tang’s heart, Gou Dai was already a dead man.

The reason he didn’t act now was because of i Nianzhi and the guards, along with the presence of the Evil Wolf Gang.

He punished those few kids, and i Nianzhi turned a blind eye.

But if he were to kill, i Nianzhi would certainly intervene, otherwise, explaining back in Changze County would be difficult.

With so many people around, it would be extrely difficult to kill Gou Dai, he might have to show his hand, affecting future plans.

For such a person, it’s not worth it.

Also, killing in public, if investigated by the governnt, trouble would be unavoidable, too irrational.

There will be opportunities.

The road is long.

i Nianzhi coughed lightly, waved his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Disperse!"

The crowd slowly dissipated.

The wealthy businessn beaten by Chen Tang were still unwilling, gathering their attendants together as they left.

Combining the attendants from several families, there were more than a dozen, discussing how to regain their face.

"Everyone, let’s just leave this matter for today."

At this mont, i Nianzhi walked over, shaking his head slightly.

"Hall Master i, I respect you, but why didn’t you intervene and stop that little brat from flaunting his prowess and hurting people?"

"That’s right, look at the injuries my child has, his wrist is broken!"

"We wanted to teach him a lesson, yet you advise us to stop, what’s the reason?"

Those people vented their grievances on i Nianzhi.

i Nianzhi coldly laughed inside, and said, "If I had intervened just now, your children might already be corpses! Do you really think he wouldn’t dare to kill?"

Their faces changed at his words.

i Nianzhi continued, "I advise you to stop, also for your own sake. Even if your attendants go, they may not succeed, and if they truly provoke him..."

i Nianzhi did not continue, those people recalled the scene just now, and couldn’t help but feel apprehensive.

"Let’s call it off for now, we have plenty of ti."

One person said in frustration, taking his wife and children onto the carriage.

After this uproar, no one had the appetite to eat anymore, they extinguished the fire, packed their belongings, and the convoy moved on.

Chen Tang continued to drive the carriage, staying at the back of the convoy.

i Yingxue ca to Chen Tang’s carriage, but didn’t go inside, instead sitting at the driving seat next to Chen Tang.

Every so often, she turned her head, curiously watching Chen Tang.

That scene earlier had left her shocked.

She never thought that soone her age like Chen Tang could do such a thing under so much pressure and actually do it!

Seeing Chen Tang stand up for Zhiwei, and vent her anger, she felt happy too.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have known how to ask her father to intervene.

And even if her father did intervene, it would just be blowing things over, nothing as satisfying as before.

"Aren’t you going to say sothing?"

i Yingxue finally couldn’t help but ask, turning her head.

"Say what?"

Chen Tang feigned ignorance, focused, like a ditating monk, driving the carriage.

i Yingxue said, "For instance, how your injuries healed, how you were so formidable just now, and that fierce look of yours."

"Want to hear the truth?"

"Of course, I want the truth."

"Practicing the Tiger Subduing Fist."

"..."

Inside the carriage.

Zhiwei’s emotions, soothed by Qingmu, had gradually cald down.

The fat old man leaned in the corner, smiling, and said, "Disciple, when facing the Evil Wolf Gang, you can be decisive and ruthless, but against these unruly and unreasonable ordinary people, you were at a loss."

"Indeed."

Qingmu recalled the situation just now, nodding his head.

Although the other party initiated the conflict, their error wasn’t worth death, and since they were all ordinary people, Qingmu wasn’t sure how to deal with it.

"You saw it now, right?"

The fat old man said, "Don’t think because they are ordinary people, they dare to bully others because, in their eyes, Zhiwei’s status is low, and Chen Tang is worthless, not worth fearing."

"When faced with such unreasonable people, you need to be like Chen Tang: tougher and more ruthless!"

"Strike with thunderous ans, make them hurt, make them fear! Otherwise, they will be relentless, taking inch by inch."

The fat old man had road the Jianghu for years, seeing too many people, experiencing too much, and understanding people like them thoroughly.

"Don’t be deceived by their appearance as ordinary people; when they do evil and bully others, they have no bottom line. If you show weakness, they will surely press, bullying you at every turn."

The fat old man said, "So from the start, you need to fight back, clearly tell them, you are not to be trifled with. If they want to ss with you, they’ll have to pay the price!"

This was said for both Qingmu and Zhiwei.

But Qingmu wasn’t really listening, his attention was on the two people outside the carriage, eavesdropping intently.

Only Zhiwei nodded, sowhat understanding, sowhat not.
