"That’s more like it, you’re more sensible than your aunt. Good, sit down, have so drinks with , chat a bit. Cheng Xue i, don’t just stand there, go get so barbecue." Cheng Kai said with a smile, a hint of smugness evident in his eyes.
He loved this feeling of being unchecked and unrestrained.
"My niece, she can’t drink alcohol; how about this, I’ll drink a few glasses with you." Cheng Xue i suggested.
"I’m not interested in you. Little beauty, if you don’t have a drink with tonight, your aunt’s stall won’t be open anymore." Cheng Kai sneered coldly.
"I’ll drink with you, as long as you don’t make things difficult for my aunt."
Cheng Guo didn’t think too much of it, assuming it was just about having a few drinks. She could handle alcohol quite well, so she wasn’t afraid.
Cheng Xue i tried to dissuade her, but one of Cheng Kai’s n pushed her aside.
"Didn’t you hear Brother Kai’s words? Go get so barbecue, you’re really an eyesore." A little thug scolded.
"Aunt, it’s fine, I can handle my drinks well." Cheng Guo said with a smile.
Cheng Xue i sighed softly, thinking to herself how naive this girl was, even claiming she could drink—wasn’t she just asking for trouble?
Cheng Kai was overjoyed, he liked girls like Cheng Guo who were young and innocent.
"Little beauty, you’re bold, Brother likes people like you." Cheng Kai said with a smile, reaching out to touch Cheng Guo’s body.
Cheng Guo hadn’t expected Cheng Kai to make a move before they even had drinks; instinctively, she tried to avoid him, causing Cheng Kai’s hand to pause awkwardly in mid-air.
"Not giving face, huh? I’m talking to you nicely now, but if you don’t appreciate it, don’t bla for being rude." Cheng Kai said, his expression darkening, clearly displeased.
After all, Cheng Guo was just an inexperienced girl, intimidated by Cheng Kai’s tone, so she braced herself and sat down beside him.
Cheng Kai reached out his greasy hand again, and this ti Cheng Guo didn’t dodge, ready to endure.
But just as Cheng Kai’s hand was about to touch Cheng Guo, a light flashed, and sothing flew over.
Cheng Kai realized there was a disposable chopstick embedded in his palm, and the piercing pain made him howl in agony.
The scene caught everyone off guard, and Cheng Kai’s henchn panicked, scrambling to check his injury while scanning the crowd for the perpetrator.
Onlookers, who were sick of Cheng Kai’s arrogance, couldn’t help but gloat at seeing him impaled by a chopstick, nearly feeling the urge to clap in delight.
Cheng Guo and Cheng Xue i were also startled, but they quickly understood what happened, as Ye Tian strolled over leisurely.
"Brother Ye, you’re back." Seeing Ye Tian return was like a lost soul in the desert suddenly seeing an oasis for Cheng Guo, bringing her imnse joy.
anwhile, Cheng Xue i felt a mix of surprise and worry.
Ye Tian struck at Cheng Kai right away, and knowing Cheng Kai, he wouldn’t let this go.
Ye Tian gave Cheng Guo a reassuring smile, then looked at Cheng Kai, who was clutching his suffering hand, and said one word indifferently.
"Scram."
That single word, uttered calmly, exploded like thunder in the minds of Cheng Kai and his thugs. Cheng Kai glared at Ye Tian, murderous intent blazing from his eyes.
"You dare ambush ? Do you know who I am?" Cheng Kai roared angrily.
"I’ll say it again—scram." Ye Tian spoke once more, his tone still unruffled.
"Get him! Rough him up! How dare he show off in Lihuang City; he’s begging for death."
Cheng Kai was notorious for being fierce; he couldn’t allow anyone to act brazenly in front of him.
His henchn, upon hearing their leader’s command, rushed at Ye Tian, but they were barely stronger than ordinary people. Such weaklings Ye Tian didn’t even deign to look at, casually kicking them away, sending them flying.
Ye Tian showed rcy with his kicks; with so many witnesses watching, he didn’t want to make a scene or kill anyone in public.
"Don’t think just because you know so martial arts you can disregard , Cheng Kai. If you’re tough enough, state your na." Cheng Kai was panicking now, surprised by Ye Tian’s prowess.
Ye Tian said nothing, letting his cold gaze speak for him.
"Fine, you wait; I’ll make you regret this." Under Ye Tian’s piercing gaze, Cheng Kai shivered, realizing Ye Tian was not to be ssed with. If he stayed there, he would only get beaten, so he had no choice but to retreat for now.
Leaving behind a threat, Cheng Kai and his henchn fled dejectedly, supporting each other.
Spectators, witnessing Ye Tian’s display of power against Cheng Kai and his n, cheered spontaneously, showering Ye Tian with praises.
After what had just transpired, Cheng Xue i lost her appetite for business and said to Ye Tian, "Young Master Ye, that Cheng Kai is a notorious bully in Lihuang City, backed by the Cheng Family. Their influence is huge; he won’t let this go easily. You should take Guoguo and leave Xiangxi quickly, wait until things calm down, and then Guoguo can return later."
Cheng Xue i, being just an ordinary person, naturally feared Cheng Kai and the Cheng Family.
"I ca tonight specifically to try your late-night snacks; you won’t deny that, will you?" Ye Tian said with a smile, clearly unbothered by the incident with Cheng Kai.
"But, Young Master Ye, aren’t you worried?"
Seeing Ye Tian so nonchalant, Cheng Xue i couldn’t help but be puzzled. Did Ye Tian truly have the strength to ignore the Cheng Family?
"If you’re worried, maybe you should be concerned about Brother Kai instead." Ye Tian replied with a smile.
Cheng Xue i sighed helplessly, thinking that perhaps Ye Tian’s background was so formidable that even the Cheng Family had to be cautious, allowing herself to be reassured.
After getting so barbecue for Ye Tian, Cheng Xue i sat beside him, asking if he managed to retrieve anything from the Liao Family today. Ye Tian nodded but didn’t ntion he had slain the Great Wizard of the Black Witch Clan, feeling there was no need to talk about it now.
Upon learning Ye Tian had retrieved sothing from the Liao Family, Cheng Xue i’s opinion of him rose significantly; if the Liao Family had to give face to Ye Tian, then the Cheng Family wouldn’t dare provoke him lightly.
After all, among Xiangxi’s Five Major Families, the Liao Family was the toughest to handle.
"Since there’s nothing happening now, tell about the other four families in Xiangxi besides the Liao Family." Ye Tian said, munching on barbecue casually.
With the Liao Family in Xiangxi backed by the Black Witch Clan, Ye Tian had already plundered a lot of spiritual artifacts; if possible, he didn’t mind plundering the others.
"Then I’ll start with the Cheng Family. Guoguo and I belong to them, but we’re not from the Inner Clan; we just have the surna Cheng. You know the Cheng Family’s backing is the Holy Witch Sect."
