“You brat, too arrogant.”
“Speaking nonsense, truly speaking nonsense.”
“His heart can be condemned.”
Shi Liang and the others roared in anger, as if they were the ones being insulted, each filled with righteous indignation, wishing they could rush forward to help Ba Leng, but no one actually took action.
As for the others, they clenched their hands tightly, staring intently at the situation. With Ba Leng's temper, how could he endure such ridicule? He would definitely erupt in rage and fight back. Therefore, everyone began circulating their true energy, fearing they might get caught in the crossfire, but there were also those who were extremely excited, waiting to watch the show.
One was a disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall, and the other was a disciple of the Xuanyuan Empire. The martial domain had only just calmed down; could it be that the two sides were about to clash again?
But unexpectedly,
Ba Leng did not make a move. His gaze was colder than ever, with a killing intent that felt almost tangible, as if he wanted to slay everything. Endless fury lingered around him, so everyone could see that he was already furious.
“Good, very good, you are the first one daring enough to be this arrogant towards me. I will wait for you outside the Taigu Residence; I hope you can continue hiding inside.”
As his voice fell, Ba Leng's figure flickered, and he directly turned around and left the Taigu Residence.
Ba Leng just left like that?
This scene caught everyone off guard, leaving them astonished and speechless.
It seemed that the background of the Taigu Residence was even more frightening than they had imagined.
Ba Leng did not take action, which surely wasn’t because he feared Qin Chen; the only possibility was that he was wary of the Taigu Residence.
The plump woman sighed in relief when she saw Ba Leng didn’t act.
“Continue, everyone, don’t let some mad dogs ruin the fun,” Qin Chen said lightly, his expression nonchalant and unconcerned.
The crowd exchanged glances, as they didn’t dare to casually respond to such words.
The plump woman gave Qin Chen a deep look and then turned to leave. Soon, the mist once again filled the high platform, and the previous dancers began to perform again, turning the place into a heavenly realm.
However, within the entire building, there were faint undercurrents surging, oppressive and terrifying, like a volcano about to erupt.
“Young Master, why must you offend Ba Leng for Yi Xin's sake? You’re putting yourself in danger, and Yi Xin cannot bear it.” Yi Xin softly leaned against Qin Chen, softly saying, her beautiful eyes shimmering with concern.
“Lady Yi Xin, are you so moved that you intend to pledge yourself to me?” Qin Chen chuckled lightly, seemingly unaffected by the earlier events.
“Young Master, Yi Xin truly worries about you.” Yi Xin's face carried worry as she softly said, “Ba Leng is tyrannical and arrogant, and he comes from the Law Enforcement Hall. With the current might of the Law Enforcement Hall, he will definitely not let you off easily. Young Master, you can’t be joking.”
“Since the Law Enforcement Hall is so terrifying, why did you submit to Ba Leng earlier?” Qin Chen laughed again.
“I...” Yi Xin lowered her head and sighed, “Yi Xin was born in the Taigu Residence; this is Yi Xin's fate, something I cannot choose. But Yi Xin can decide her own allegiance. I do not like Ba Leng. If he truly forces me, I would rather die than let him succeed.”
The girl was determined, her gaze shining like the blazing sun, dazzling and bright.
“It shouldn't be the case. The Taigu Residence has a deep background. Even Ba Leng from the Law Enforcement Hall seems to be wary of it. I am now quite curious about what the background of your Taigu Residence is. Is it the Illusory Demon Sect?” Qin Chen questioned with confusion.
In his previous life, Qin Chen was naturally aware of the Taigu Restaurant. While it had some background, it was not afraid of the three major families of Guhua City, but it had yet to reach the point of confronting the Law Enforcement Hall.
