“Sister Jing is coming over… That man must be her backer!”

Li Yunwan saw Sister Jing walking out of the office arm-in-arm with Ye Feng, and the hair on her arms stood on eund.

When the surrounding people saw Sister Jing, they all rose to greet her.

But when they saw Ye Feng, they immediately bowed their waists, calling out respectfully, “Mr. Ye, good evening!”

Ye Feng waved his hand with poise, following Sister Jing toward the booth where Qi Dengxian and Li Yunwan were sitting.

Li Yunwan whispered bitterly to Qi Dengxian, “Sister Jing likely heard everything you just said. Those two women who were backing you are gone, and now her backer is here… What do we do now?”

Qi Dengxian let out a snort. Without even glancing at the two approaching figures, he toyed with a die in his hand and continued drinking in silence.

“I didn’t expect Mr. Ye to be at the bar today. That guy found someone to back him earlier to settle things with Sister Jing, but this time, he likely won’t escape!”

“Yeah, he took advantage and then acted like a victim. Isn’t it better to just quit while you’re ahead? He just had to open his foul mouth and talk trash. Now he’s drawn Mr. Ye over!”

“Mr. Ye is a specially appointed Guest Elder of the Donghai Province Dragon Gate branch. No matter how badly Wang Bao was beaten, Sister Jing let him go with one word—that was all out of respect for Mr. Ye.”

The crowd discussed in low voices, while simultaneously casting gloating glances toward Qi Dengxian.

Li Yunwan was almost scared to tears, her face pale. Qi Dengxian and his foul mouth… now he’s provoked a true big shot. How is this going to end?!

Sister Jing, holding Ye Feng’s arm, stopped in front of Qi Dengxian and pointed at him without saying a word.

“Young man, as a person, you must know your limits and when to stop.” Ye Feng smiled slightly and spoke.

Qi Dengxian didn’t respond, keeping his head down as he drank.

Ye Feng continued, “I cannot ignore General Yu’s face. I’m here simply to give you a warning: do not take advantage and then act like a victim.”

“I won’t make things too difficult for you. Stand up now and penalize yourself with three drinks.”

“After drinking, kneel down and apologize to Xiao Jing. Repent for the foolish words you just spoke.”

“If you do that, I can let bygones be bygones.”

As Ye Feng spoke, someone nearby couldn’t resist sucking up to him.

“Mr. Ye is truly magnanimous in both character and action. Even facing such a madman, he still behaves like a perfect gentleman!”

“Kid, don’t be ungrateful. Mr. Ye has already given you a way out. You were disrespectful to Sister Jing, why haven’t you stood up to apologize yet?”

“Damn it, Mr. Ye is standing while you’re sitting? Who do you think you are?”

Beside him, Li Yunwan was so terrified she could no longer remain seated and hurriedly stood up.

She stammered to Ye Feng, “Mr… Mr. Ye, my friend is drunk. What he said just now was just the alcohol talking. Please don’t take it to heart.”

Ye Feng chuckled. “I am not particularly bothered, of course. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have given him this chance.”

“What kind of thing are you to give me a chance?” Qi Dengxian asked flatly, his head still lowered.

“You dog thing, you really don’t know what’s good for you!” A man wanting to flatter Ye Feng stood up and stroded forward.

“Who is Mr. Ye? Him speaking to you calmly is already showing you respect, giving you immense face!”

“And you’re still putting on airs, sitting while talking to Mr. Ye? Still speaking so rudely? I think you’re tired of living!”

“Do you know Mr. Ye is a specially appointed Guest Elder of the Dragon Gate branch? With one word, he can have you die on the streets in minutes!”

Qi Dengxian shook his head slightly, silently adding two ice cubes to his glass. “So noisy.”

The man was instantly infuriated by him and roared, “I’ll give you three seconds. Stand up and apologize to Sister Jing and Mr. Ye.”

“Otherwise, Mr. Ye won’t even need to lift a finger. I’ll show you the price of such arrogance!”

Qi Dengxian drained the alcohol in his glass in one gulp, slammed the glass onto the table with a heavy thud, and stood up abruptly. He raised his hand and delivered a massive slap to the man’s face.

“Didn’t you hear me say you’re too loud?!” Qi Dengxian’s slap was anything but light. It sent the young man flying over the railing of the booth, rolling across the floor until he lay unconscious.

Seeing this, Li Yunwan’s vision went dark. It’s over. The backer is gone, and Qi Dengxian is acting like a lunatic again. Who can save him now?!

“This guy… he might be an idiot, but I have to say, he is truly ferocious!”

“Sister Jing’s bar has rules against causing trouble, yet he doesn’t care at all. Now, he even hits someone right in front of Sister Jing and Mr. Ye.”

“He’s not ferocious, his head is just broken… Sister Jing gave him face earlier, but this time, that likely won’t happen again!”

“Holy crap, he really dared to make a move in front of Mr. Ye… He has a death wish!”

The crowd erupted upon seeing Qi Dengxian strike someone in front of Sister Jing and Ye Feng.

Sister Jing’s face turned completely black as she shouted, “I just gave Long Yanan face to settle things, yet you’re ungrateful and even spread rumors behind my back!”

“Now, I gave you a way out and you didn’t take it. You even dared to hit someone.”

“I see you truly don’t respect the rules of our bar at all, do you?”

Qi Dengxian sneered. “Rumors behind your back? I’ll say it to your face just the same.”

The crowd gasped, falling into a sudden silence. This was the first time they had seen anyone dare to speak such words to Sister Jing’s face.

“You aren’t fair in your actions, so why talk to me about rules? Do you think having a few people behind you gives you the right to be high and mighty?”

“Sorry, I don’t buy that. And what I hate most are posers like you who love to act superior.”

After saying this, Qi Dengxian stepped directly onto the tabletop, leaning forward with his hands on his thighs. With a fake smile, he asked, “Now, do you still think I’m talking behind your back?”

Sister Jing’s face turned from black to red with rage.

Ye Feng’s face also darkened.

Li Yunwan collapsed back onto the sofa, frantically gulping down wine to steady her nerves, praying only that this war wouldn’t involve her.

“Turn on the main lights.” Ye Feng said coldly, his aura becoming increasingly frigid.

The waiter hurried to turn them on.

“Mr. Ye is truly enraged. Ever since he became a Dragon Gate Guest Elder, no one has dared to be this insolent in front of him.”

“Yeah… Mr. Ye gave him face and he didn’t want it. Now that Mr. Ye is thoroughly provoked, what kind of good ending do you think he’ll have?”

“If I were him, I’d kneel to Mr. Ye right now, kowtow, and admit my mistakes. That might be the only way to live.”

The crowd whispered, debating the exact way Qi Dengxian would die at Ye Feng’s hands.

At that moment, the main lights snapped on.

The multicolored, swaying, dizzying lights were cut off, and brilliant light instantly flooded the entire bar.

Qi Dengxian saw Ye Feng standing next to Sister Jing clearly and couldn’t help but laugh.

“Yo, Little Yezi!”
