At this moment, Zhang Fei was already pale, his body swaying, nearly fainting.
He didn't even have the thought of defending himself.
"Master Chen Mu, just now they said they knew Master Liu Guang, my subordinate was afraid of getting it wrong, so the handling was a bit slow." Captain Chen wiped his cold sweat and hurriedly explained.
"They know Master Liu Guang?"
Chen Mu was taken aback, looking over.
"Yes!" Captain Chen nodded.
"Master Chen Mu, don’t listen to their nonsense. These two guys even said they were sent by Qin Chen from the Qin family. What is Qin Chen? Just a despicable illegitimate child, and he dares to claim to know Master Liu Guang? Clearly, they are just flaunting their connections. They should take a look in the mirror at their own virtues." Li Yaowen scoffed, mocking from the side.
"What? You said Qin Chen? The Qin family's Qin Chen?" Chen Mu's expression changed instantly.
"Yes, that's the guy." Li Yaowen sneered: "If you want to scare someone, at least say something credible, like the head of the Qin family or something. Mentioning that despicable illegitimate child is just laughable!"
Li Yaowen laughed loudly, full of ridicule, but before he could finish his sentence—
Slap!
A swift and fierce slap landed on the other side of Li Yaowen's face, sending him flying several meters, blood mixed with a few remaining teeth spraying out as he lay on the ground convulsing.
It was actually Chen Mu who struck him.
This scene left the onlookers dumbfounded, each one in shock, as if petrified.
What’s going on?
Isn’t Li Guanshi from the Alchemy Pavilion? Why did Master Chen Mu slap him? Could it be a mistake?
"You dog, well slapped. Why didn’t you kill him just now? What a disgrace." After slapping him, Chen Mu cursed, his expression furious.
Then, Chen Mu turned his head with a smile, jogging over to Zhang Fei and Zhang Ying, his previously angry face now blossoming with a smile, as if a hundred flowers were blooming: "So you two are friends of Young Master Chen, I was unaware of your arrival and failed to greet you properly. Please forgive me."
Everyone was dizzy, their minds blank, completely not understanding what had happened.
Not just them, but Zhang Fei and Zhang Ying were also stunned.
What on earth is going on? Just a moment ago, Master Chen Mu was furious, saying he wanted to capture them, but in the blink of an eye, he seemed as gentle as a spring breeze.
The two were utterly confused, feeling as if they were in a dream.
"May I ask how you two know Young Master Chen?" Seeing the two remain silent, Chen Mu couldn’t help but speak.
Zhang Fei was startled, finally coming back to his senses. "We—"
"I and Young Master Chen are good friends, we are roommates at Tianxing Academy. This is my second uncle, Zhang Fei." Zhang Ying spoke directly.
At this moment, he had completely understood; all of this was because of Young Master Chen, and his admiration for Qin Chen grew even stronger.
Previously in the Bloodline Sacred Land, and now in the Alchemy Pavilion, it seemed there was no problem that could not be resolved in Young Master Chen's hands.
"So you are Young Master Chen's roommates. It’s a pleasure to meet you! No wonder you are so young yet possess extraordinary cultivation. Heroes emerge from youth."
Chen Mu shook Zhang Ying's hand, his smile as warm as could be.
"And this Brother Zhang Fei, what a remarkable demeanor, truly a talent among men."
He turned around, grasping Zhang Fei's hand, with an enthusiasm that was off the charts.
Everyone was stunned.
"Dude, just now you clearly said they were two lunatics," they thought, "And now they are talents among men? This change in attitude is way too fast!"
Zhang Fei and Zhang Ying were also dizzy, completely at a loss for words.
"Master Chen Mu, Young Master Chen sent us here because he has urgent matters to discuss with Master Liu Guang. Please help us notify him." After a moment, Zhang Ying came back to his senses and hurriedly said.
If they delayed any longer, their Zhang family’s store in the market was about to be demolished.
