Master Lü took a deep breath and said, "Chen Shao, I understand your nature, and I’m not trying to pressure you with the rules of the Ten Great Families. The main issue is that the other party is simply too arrogant, but neither Young Master Huang nor I am a match for him; we’ve suffered a significant loss."
"If the other party were from Capital City, then that would be it, because after all, we’re all from the sa circle. But he’s from Pingnan Province, and both Young Master Huang and I are from Capital City. The two of us losing face is like dishonoring our Capital City circle."
"We truly had no other choice but to co and ask for Chen Shao’s help. Regardless, we must reclaim our Capital City circle’s reputation!"
Chen Shao shook his head, "Don’t make it sound so noble. I have never been a part of the dandies of Capital City. For this matter, you should seek out my elder brother; he would undoubtedly be happy to help you. As for , I’m not at all interested in upholding this ’Capital City circle’ of yours!"
Master Lü was taken aback. By bringing up the Capital City circle, he was trying to put pressure on Chen Shao. But now that Chen Shao didn’t acknowledge himself as part of the Capital City circle, he was left without a strategy.
Young Master Huang frowned and then suddenly said in a deep voice, "Chen Shao, you are known as one of the top three masters among the young generation in Capital City. But this ranking only holds within Capital City; once outside, who knows how far back you’d be in line. Are you afraid that you won’t be able to beat that man, and is that why you refuse to take action?"
Chen Shao laughed uproariously, looking up, "You’ve grown up, haven’t you? Learned to use reverse psychology? Tsk tsk, interesting. Now that you put it that way, I am indeed curious to et this person who’s made you two tumble and flee. Co on, tell , how many moves did it take for him to defeat you? If it’s more than three moves, then nevermind, I’m not interested in eting him!"
Young Master Huang’s face chilled even further. Chen Shao was clearly looking down on him. Yet, he had to admit that Chen Shao indeed had the credentials to do so.
"He beat with just one move!" Young Master Huang said gravely.
"Oh, really?" Chen Shao responded, his voice filled with surprise, "One move?"
"Yes, one move!" Young Master Huang paused before continuing firmly, "Moreover, his secret technique is very special. He threw a chopstick at , saying the strength of my attack would determine the rebound force of that chopstick. The chopstick broke my arm, but then, the second chopstick he threw didn’t even pierce a piece of paper!"
"Is that so?" Chen Shao’s voice expressed greater surprise, "That’s quite interesting indeed!"
"Just say whether you dare to fight him or not!" Young Master Huang pressed.
"Such an interesting person, of course, I want to have a match with him!" Chen Shao laughed heartily, "However, I have so things to take care of tonight, so it’s not convenient for tonight. You two stay here. Once I’m done with tonight’s business, I’ll go and et this person!"
Master Lü and Young Master Huang were overjoyed, for Chen Shao to personally take action ant they could finally redeem themselves.
"Many thanks, Chen Shao!" Master Lü said hastily.
"No need to thank , I am just looking forward to sparring with a strong opponent, not interested in helping you. So, don’t go causing trouble under my na. If soone kills you, I won’t protect you!"
As he spoke, Chen Shao turned his head and looked at the two with a cold gaze, "Understood?"
If Su Yang had been there, he would have cried out in surprise. Because this Chen Shao was the very sa Chen Benhao that Su Yang had previously encountered in Beiguan Town!
During the Dragon Head eting finals in May, Chen Benhao had left for so reason with that girl and was not present for the final battle. Even then, Su Yang knew that Chen Benhao was not a simple character.
But who could have imagined that Chen Benhao was actually an important figure from Capital City. Even Ye Zhenying and Shangguan Ge personally t with him, which spoke volus about his noble status!
Having said his piece, Chen Benhao did not wait for a response from the two, but walked out of the room straight away, treating them as if they were invisible.
Master Lü and Young Master Huang looked at each other, their hearts filled with reluctance, yet they knew they had to swallow their pride.
Chen Benhao was renowned in Capital City as an oddity, ranked among the top three of his generation and with his twin brother, known as the Chen Family Double Excellences.
However, Chen Benhao was entirely different from his brother.
His brother, Chen Benhong, was a leading figure among the Capital City’s dandies and the most outstanding among them, regarded as a leader whom others would eagerly follow. In the circle of dandies, Chen Benhong also commanded considerable influence, respected by all dandies in Capital City.
As for Chen Benhao, he never fit in with those dandies from the beginning. In fact, his ideas differed greatly from many in his family. Although he had talent rivaling his brother’s and their strengths were comparable, he was not the favored one in the family.
Moreover, due to Chen Benhao’s unique personality, he offended quite a few in Capital City. His most famous deed was the sweeping defeat of one of the Ten Great Families.
Because of that incident, that family joined forces with so familiar households and collectively went to the Chen Family to demand accountability.
With the anger of many families against him, the Chen Family originally planned to hand over Chen Benhao to appease the discontent of the other families.
Lacking the Chen Family’s protection, Chen Benhao, despite being in the top three of his generation, was not a match for so many families.
At the most critical mont, finally, soone from Capital City took action and saved Chen Benhao. Due to that event, Chen Benhao was virtually independent of the Chen Family and fully under the protection of this person. Because of this patron’s explicit support, Chen Benhao’s brazenness in Capital City grew, to the point where he would disregard even the Chen Family’s dignity.
Master Lü and Young Master Huang, being rely second-tier dandies in Capital City and not even counted among the Ten Great Families, naturally didn’t dare to co into conflict with Chen Benhao.
However, both were incredibly excited inside.
Chen Benhao had said he would fight Su Yang; with such a declaration, the matter was absolutely certain. And when Chen Benhao fought, he was almost indistinguishable from a madman. This ti, Su Yang, if not killed, would surely co away skinned!
At the very least, the grievance of being bullied by Su Yang could be swallowed!
Neither of them left the Qianlong Clubhouse; after Young Master Huang had his wound dressed, he rested for a while in the room, then began strolling around the villa with Wang Hui.
Since Chen Benhao had told them to stay, as long as they did not leave the villa, they would be under Chen Benhao’s protection.
"This Qianlong Clubhouse is quite beautifully done!" Young Master Huang remarked as they walked.
"Hmph, for such a small place, to be done up like this is probably already their limit!" said Master Lü with disdain.
Knowing Master Lü’s character, Young Master Huang chose not to respond. The three of them continued their stroll, and suddenly, they saw several cars driving into the villa. Among the individuals in the lead car was Su Yang!
