Jiang Hengshuo’s group heard this, and their faces flushed with anger, but they dared not speak.
Long Fei did not care who this old fellow was. They had co in good faith to help, only to be belittled and insulted.
He launched a kick, hitting the butler from behind.
With a loud bang, the butler was kicked from the middle of the drawbridge to the front.
His head hit the ground heavily, and he was dazed, unable to get up for a long while.
The disciples on the city tower noticed and imdiately shouted, "How bold!"
More than a dozen disciples, holding spears, descended from the city walls and pointed them at Long Fei and his group.
The group behind Long Fei, led by Jiang Hengshuo, imdiately drew their longswords and confronted the other party.
They felt a sense of relief and admiration for Long Fei’s decisive action, regardless of who the other party was.
They were happy but also sowhat afraid.
After all, this was the Bai Family Mansion; having injured soone here, they feared being severely punished by the Bai Family.
The butler got up from the ground, his head bleeding, adjusted the hat on his head, and angrily cursed Long Fei and his group, "Rebellion! How dare you brats hit ?"
Long Fei took out the token and glared at the butler, shouting angrily, "Open your dog eyes and see clearly, we are Outer Sect Disciples of the Celestial Mystery Sect and also Jiang Family disciples. Originally we were resting today, but were sent by the steward master to help you without compensation. But what was your attitude? You refused to open the gate and insulted us, saying we are inferior disciples? Tell , shouldn’t you be beaten?"
"You, you..."
The butler blushed, unable to respond to Long Fei’s accusations.
Long Fei continued to glare at him and shouted, "Since the Bai Family looks down on us, then send a notice to the Mystic Heaven Sect and let us return. You look down on us; we brothers don’t want to go in anymore."
He led them to sit down on the drawbridge, and the excited Jiang family disciples followed suit.
Following such a powerful leader was unbelievably exhilarating.
The butler shook with anger, "Alright, kid, don’t think that using the Celestial Mystery Sect and the Jiang Family against will save you. If this causes a scene, it’ll be more trouble than you can handle!"
Long Fei sneered, "Fine, then make it a bigger scene. I want to see whether our master supports us or you, the Bai Family. You are not only slapping our faces but slapping the faces of the Celestial Mystery Sect and the Jiang Family. I want to see if you can take responsibility for that!"
He spoke decisively and firmly, without arrogance or inferiority, and then retrieved wine from the storage ring, allowing Jiang Hengshuo to distribute bowls, drinking it in front of the butler.
The Bai Family disciples blushed as they had never encountered such a rogue.
The butler was also stunned, not knowing how to handle this difficult situation.
The Celestial Mystery Sect had sent these disciples as a gesture of goodwill.
Other families accepted them; if the Bai Family returned them, it would clearly be an affront to the Celestial Mystery Sect!
The Bai Family could not bear this accusation, nor could he.
He sighed and changed his tone towards Long Fei, "Alright, alright, my mistake. What’s the point of staying on the bridge? Aren’t you here to perform a task? Then hurry into the mansion!"
Long Fei sipped his wine with a faint smile, "Now you rember us? Weren’t you just calling us trash and looking down on us? We are not cows or horses to be driven and beaten at will. If you want us to go in, you must compensate us ntally!"
"Yes, compensate us!"
With Long Fei leading, Jiang Hengshuo’s group beca assertive, raising their longswords and shouting ardently.
"You..."
The butler almost spat a mouthful of old blood, wishing to grab Long Fei and beat him.
He gritted his teeth and asked Long Fei, "Are you really not coming in?"
Long Fei solemnly said, "Without compensation, the matter ends here."
The butler coldly snorted, "Alright, alright, you win. Raise the drawbridge, let’s see if they can sit still!"
The disciples inside heard the command and imdiately activated the chanism.
The four iron chains tightened abruptly, creaking as they hoisted the drawbridge.
Bodies lifted sharply forward, like sliding down a slide, seemingly about to slide off.
"Is that all you’ve got?"
Long Fei sneered, raised his hand, and drew Jiang Hengshuo’s longsword, slashing forward with a swish.
A stream of sword qi, like a soft whip, whipped onto the four iron chains with poof poof poof sounds.
Bang,
Bang,
Bang!
A sound of iron shattering, the four iron chains were simultaneously sliced in half.
With a bang, the drawbridge crashed heavily backward, kicking up dust into the air.
Bai Family disciples scread, while Jiang family disciples were also startled.
Especially the butler, looking incredulous, stamring, "What sort of magical weapon is this? Our divine iron forged chains can’t even be cut by a Human Immortal Sword?"
Jiang Hengshuo looked at his sword, swallowed nervously.
He knew well of his sword’s Earth Immortal Level, yet in Long Fei’s hand, it proved so sharp.
The Jiang family disciples’ morale soared, shouting at the butler, "Don’t entertain bad intentions, our senior brother’s swordsmanship is unmatched, even a Human Immortal Weapon can’t stop him. If you don’t want to escalate the issue, pay us ntal compensation. Part amicably, let’s not intrude upon one another."
When the butler looked at Long Fei again, any trace of disdain had vanished from his eyes.
This world is like that, the stronger you present yourself, the more respect others give you.
If you present weakness, others take advantage of you.
The butler coughed lightly, cupped his fists respectfully at Long Fei, "May I know how to address you, young friend?"
Jiang Hengshuo proudly introduced from behind, "This is our senior brother, Jiang Family genius, Jiang Hengyuan!"
The butler forced a smile, "So it’s young brother Hengyuan, my apologies. I’ve heard my lady ntion you before, never thought to et here, truly unintended. May I ask young brother Hengyuan, what compensation do you want for today’s issue to be resolved?"
Preventing thieves was critical, the butler didn’t want to spend ti on these Celestial Mystery Sect disciples.
Moreover, this Jiang Hengyuan, he really had heard of.
Earlier, their first lady Bai Fengling was in the house cursing this little thief to the head matron.
According to the lady, she seed to fancy this lad.
The butler dared not offend one whom the first lady liked.
If they ended up together soday, he would have made an enemy.
After years of service, the butler was quick-minded and considerate.
Seeing the butler relent, Long Fei also took a step back, "We were just angry at your words just now. Since you sincerely apologize, we aren’t ones to pester. Before we ca, we hadn’t eaten dinner. If you provide us with dinner, we’ll call it quits, and I won’t pursue further."
"Dinner?"
The butler frowned, thinking Long Fei would demand a hefty price.
Who knew his request would be so simple.
Looking at Long Fei, he couldn’t help but feel a fondness, thinking this master had a temper but was reasonable.
Genius, everyone has so temper.
The butler could understand.
"Thank you, Young Master Jiang, for your understanding. I’ll imdiately arrange for dinner!"
He happily cupped his fists towards Long Fei, repeatedly inviting everyone inside.
Everyone followed Long Fei, proudly walking into the Bai Family Mansion, faces full of satisfaction.
Before they ca, everyone thought they’d end up being insulted here, ready to be bullied.
Unexpectedly, with "Jiang Hengyuan" leading, everyone beca emboldened.
