The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 654: Touching the Reverse Scale
Chapter 654: Chapter 654: Touching the Reverse Scale
"Wu Hai, perhaps Qin Yi has spent these days in closed-door cultivation, striving to advance," Wang Tong began, laughing uncontrollably. "You must know, our dear Qin Tian is quite a hard worker at cultivating but even now, he only has the strength of an upper Earth Rank, hahaha—"
"Qin Yi, do you still consider yourself the genius of the past?" Li Kangwei said derisively. "If it weren’t for you vying for the same woman as the son of Guiyuan Sect’s Sect Leader, would Guiyuan Sect bear a grudge against our Qingyun Sect? Because of that, now Guiyuan Sect opposes us at every turn. In my opinion, you are not only worthless, but also a culprit of Qingyun Sect."
"Qin Yi, even your father has all but given up on you," Zhu Qiang, with his rotund figure, said coldly. "Do you think you have any chance of rising again in this lifetime? You were indeed the hope of Qingyun Sect, but now you are nothing but its disgrace."
"Qin Yi, you need to recognize the current situation," Yang Langtao chided. "Wu Hai here is now Qingyun Sect’s genius. He has reached the strength of a middle-grade Earth Rank. How could a piece of trash like you compare to him?" While humiliating Qin Yi, Yang Langtao also took the opportunity to flatter Wu Hai, predicting that Wu Hai had over a ninety percent chance of becoming the future Sect Leader of Qingyun Sect.
"Don’t you understand what I’m saying? Get out of my way," Qin Yi said, trying to contain the burning anger in his heart as he did not wish to resort to violence upon his return to Qingyun Sect.
The expressions of Wu Hai and the other four shifted; they hadn’t expected Qin Yi to be so assertive. Their eyes turned simultaneously to Ye Chenfeng who had arrived with Qin Yi. Since Ye Chenfeng was Qin Yi’s companion, they assumed he must be his friend. They couldn’t openly attack Qin Yi now, but dealing with his friend should be no problem, right?
If Qin Yi suddenly intervened, then Wu Hai and his group could take care of them both.
"Qin Yi, you may enter Qingyun Sect," Wu Hai said, stepping aside to let Qin Yi pass but then pointed at Ye Chenfeng and continued, "However, this person cannot. He is not a disciple of Qingyun Sect. Who knows if he harbors malicious intentions against our Sect? So, he must leave immediately."
"Listen to me, kid," said Wu Hai haughtily. "Scram right now, or don’t blame me for bullying you. With a little effort, I could send you directly to meet King Yama."
Unaffected by Wu Hai’s words, the corpulent Zhu Qiang spoke up, "Brother Wu, it seems this kid lacks self-awareness. Let me discipline him for you, so he understands he’s nothing but a big pile of shit."
Several female disciples of Qingyun Sect watching from a distance pitied Ye Chenfeng for becoming the new target of Wu Hai and his group.
"It looks like this handsome man is about to be toyed with by Brother Wu Hai and the others; he’s really unlucky."
"In my opinion, Brother Wu Hai is much more handsome than this man. He might as well get ready to be thrown out of Qingyun Sect like a dog!"
...
Hands casually tucked into his pockets, Ye Chenfeng shrugged his shoulders and, looking at the ranting Zhu Qiang, asked, "What did you say your name was?"
Zhu Qiang’s chubby cheeks quivered as he puffed out his chest and replied, "Originally, a nobody like you wouldn’t deserve to know my name. But just in case I beat you to death, I want you to die knowing who I am. My name is Zhu Qiang."
Ye Chenfeng smacked his lips and replied, "A name befitting of you indeed; you truly are a robust pig."
"Giggle, giggle, giggle, giggle, giggle..."
Upon hearing this jest, the nearby female disciples of Qingyun Sect couldn’t help but double over with laughter. This caused Zhu Qiang’s face to turn beet red, his eyes nearly shooting out flames in fury.
"Wu Hai, mind your manners. This man is my boss. I’m letting this slide because we’re fellow disciples, and I don’t want to make a thing of it. Now apologize to my boss immediately," Qin Yi commanded, his face taut.
Qin Yi indeed considered Ye Chenfeng as his sole boss in this lifetime. Without Ye Chenfeng, he’d still be a good-for-nothing, which was why Ye Chenfeng held such a high place in his heart. How could he tolerate others insulting Ye Chenfeng?
"Boss? Qin Yi, since when did you acknowledge someone as your boss? Alright, I’ll give you face today," said Wu Hai to Qin Yi.
Then, turning his gaze to Ye Chenfeng, he remarked, "Kid, since you’re Qin Yi’s boss, you must be quite strong, right? Just beat me and you can join Qingyun Sect. Otherwise, get lost."
"Kid, are you scared? Brother Wu can crush you with a flick of his finger. You dared to be rude to me just now, you son of a bitch raised by a dog. You think we’d be afraid of you just because you’ve got Qin Yi backing you up?" Zhu Qiang was still holding a grudge against Ye Chenfeng’s earlier words!
Seeing Wu Hai and the others getting more and more out of line, Qin Yi was about to unleash his Heaven Rank Middle Grade strength when he felt Ye Chenfeng pat his shoulder. What was Ye Chenfeng’s Achilles heel? Wasn’t it his deceased parents? But Zhu Qiang dared to call him ’raised by a dog’? Wasn’t that an indirect insult to his parents? Anger in Ye Chenfeng’s heart was slowly rising.
As Ye Chenfeng’s face turned icy upon hearing the insults hurled at his parents, the others began to speak up too. They wanted Ye Chenfeng to make his move—that would be entertaining! Besides, they were bored lately and they hadn’t sensed any strong energy from Ye Chenfeng.
"Kid, what’s wrong? Are you angry? Your mother was a whore, played by countless men, and your father was a weakling, a eunuch who couldn’t even satisfy your mother," Wang Tong spat out the insults cheerfully.
"Kid, does insulting your parents upset you? If you’re upset, just speak up, won’t you? You’re just a bastard raised by a dog," Li Kangwei said disdainfully.
"Maybe this bastard doesn’t even know who his father is! Because his whore mother had too many men," Yang Langtao glared at Ye Chenfeng, challenging him.
Wu Hai twisted his wrist with a smile and said, "Brothers, although what you’re saying might be true, he is still Qin Yi’s boss after all. We ought to give Qin Yi some face."
Suddenly, Ye Chenfeng laughed, an icy curve forming at the corner of his mouth, like a lotus unfolding in a land of ice and snow. His voice devoid of emotion, he addressed Qin Yi, "Qin Yi, if I killed them, would you have a problem with that?"
Having spent time with Ye Chenfeng in the Secular World, Qin Yi had come to understand Ye Chenfeng’s family background and knew that Ye Chenfeng’s parents were dead. Ye Chenfeng’s parents were his Achilles heel, and now Wu Hai and the others had undoubtedly hit a nerve.
Knowing that even if he said it would cause trouble, his boss Ye Chenfeng would still act, and considering the out-of-line remarks made by Wu Hai and the others, Qin Yi sighed inwardly and replied, "Boss, I won’t have any trouble."
"What did this kid just say? He said he’s going to kill us? He must be an idiot, right? Qin Yi, you’ve actually accepted an idiot as your boss?" Zhu Qiang said recklessly.
"Kid, if you have the guts to kill me, come right at me. But since you’ve made this statement, I absolutely won’t show any mercy. I’ll send you to meet King Yama," Wu Hai said as he began to boost his Earth Rank Middle Grade aura.
"Qin Yi, don’t say I don’t give you face. Your boss is too arrogant. However, if you’re willing to kneel and beg for mercy for your boss, I might spare his life afterwards; at worst, he’ll just become a cripple," Wu Hai said with a dark, mocking smile on his face.
At this point, Qin Yi, seeing Wu Hai and the others still so arrogant, felt sorry for them. A mere Earth Rank Middle Grade strength stood no chance against his boss, Ye Chenfeng—they were just making a fool of themselves.
Since Qin Yi couldn’t stop his boss, Ye Chenfeng, anymore, and he had no fondness for Wu Hai and the others anyway, not to mention that they were the instigators, even if Ye Chenfeng killing them would bring him some trouble, he still unhesitatingly stood by Ye Chenfeng’s side. Because Ye Chenfeng was his boss, the only boss he’d ever have in his life. (To be continued.
