Chapter 651: Chapter 654: Let Him Off the Hook Spoiling—

Cai Ning's eyes widened, momentarily forgetting to breathe.

She swore she had never thought these two words could be related to her in any way.

"You're doing this on purpose, shameless," Cai Ning glared at Yang Chen through gritted teeth.

Yang Chen chuckled, "How is this shameless? Look at Yan Yan, usually fierce as a policewoman, yet she still comes to hold my hand and pouts for money."

Li Dun, who was chewing on his steak, burst into laughter, clapping his hands, "No wonder I've heard you have a lot of women. I didn't expect you to be so romantic! Let Miss Cai Ning act coquettish?! Haha! I want to see this. Miss Cai Ning, don't let your sister outshine you. Show us!"

Embarrassed and angry, Cai Ning saw Li Dun gloating nearby and, without warning, produced three leaf-shaped blades from somewhere. The blades glinted coldly as they flew straight toward Li Dun's nose and eyes.

Li Dun let out a startled cry. In such a situation, he dared not evade, fearing that the blades might end up among ordinary people. He quickly used his true energy to forcibly grab the three blades that could have sliced his head apart. At such a close distance, if not for Li Dun's cultivation having reached the early stage of the Innate Realm, others would have been doomed.

Sweat broke out on Li Dun's forehead as he awkwardly laughed, "I almost forgot, Miss Cai is from the Eight Major Clans, the Flower Rain, and thankfully, you didn't use full force, or I wouldn't dare take it head-on. But Miss Cai, you don't seem to be the type who hides hidden weapons. Where did these blades come from?"

Cai Ning's cold gaze locked on him, "One of the two kings of Yandu is indeed well-deserved. If you're truly curious, I have more. Want to try the Rain of Pearls or Peacock's Gallbladder?"

Li Dun quickly shook his head, "Heh heh, forget it. That's beyond my ability to handle."

He then shot a resentful glance at Yang Chen, "This is all your fault. Why did you make the female warrior act coquettish?"

Yang Chen leaned back on the sofa, took a sip of his drink, and laughed, "I just think girls should be a bit lively; otherwise, life would be quite boring. Everyone needs some hobbies."

Cai Ning snorted, "Then what about Ruo Xi? She should be even colder than me. Aren't you married to her?"

Yang Chen couldn't help but laugh, "That shows you don't really know her. Ruo Xi is actually quite lively inside. She likes watching cheesy Korean dramas, adores pink Hello Kitty, and loves glutinous rice balls. It's what's called 'tsundere' in current terms."

Cai Ning pouted and said sourly, "'We' is so affectionate. Since your marriage is so strong, why bother with us sisters?"

Yang Chen's face turned awkward, and he grinned, "That's not how it is. Everyone has their strengths. Someone like Ning'er, with such a calm demeanor, is quite good too. It's nice, haha..."

Li Dun looked at Yang Chen with disdain, "In short, a flower at home is not as fragrant as a wild one."

"Get lost!" Yang Chen grabbed a bottle of wine and threw it at Li Dun!

Li Dun managed to catch the bottle with both hands, looking very dissatisfied.

"If you say one more nonsense, I'll go tell Tang Xin you're bad-mouthing her!" Yang Chen threatened.

Li Dun immediately behaved, with a sycophantic smile, "Actually, Old Yang, you're the most loyal. I know you truly love everyone. You're an unparalleled good man. Say more good things about Miss Tang Xin, haha..."

Revealing his old wounds in front of everyone, Yan Buxue's face flushed with anger. Pointing at Yang Chen, he said, "Don't be too complacent! Do you think being able to hit people makes you great? In front of Young Master Ning, who do you think you are?"

The day Yang Chen had slapped him repeatedly until he was sent to the hospital was the first time Yan Buxue had experienced such humiliation. Had it not been for Yan Buwen's intervention, he would have sent assassins after Yang Chen. However, Yan Buwen, despite his indifferent attitude towards his younger brother, stopped Yan Buxue's revenge plans, saving his life.

Before Yan Buxue could finish, Li Dun, who had been eating and drinking heartily, suddenly exploded!

"Get lost!" Li Dun shouted as he stood up and shoved Yan Buxue into the dance floor!

Yan Buxue rolled several times, and the dance floor erupted into chaos with shouts and screams as people saw the fight!

Yan Buxue was initially stunned but, getting up and pointing at Li Dun, wanted to curse him out. However, knowing the power of the Li family, he hesitated and stammered, "W-why did you hit me?!"

Li Dun didn't care that this was a gathering of prominent people in Yandu. He spat on the ground and said, "Damn it! You keep calling Yang Chen a hooligan and saying he's nothing, so if I'm with him, doesn't that make me the same? Come on! It seems you're still unconvinced. If you're not convinced, come over and fight me fair and square! Old Yang slapped you before, and today I'll slap you a few times too!"

The surrounding people looked at Yan Buxue with fear and pity. Although the Yan family was one of the Four Great Families, Yan Buxue was not Yan Buwen. Even if Li Dun really killed him, it wouldn't make a huge impact.

More people were puzzled. Li Dun's actions clearly showed that the Li family stood firmly with Yang Chen, even at the cost of publicly offending the Ning family. What kind of background did this young man have? Countless people had strong doubts in their minds, but no one recognized him.

Cai Yan had initially wanted to go up to the stage to sing but, seeing the fight break out, quickly ran over. Seeing that Ning Guodong was here, she knew it was not something she, as the second daughter of the Cai family, could intervene in. She obediently hid beside Cai Ning but looked excited, as if the fight thrilled her.

Ning Guodong's eyes were particularly gloomy. He could read that Li Dun's actions clearly indicated that the Li family and Yang family's relationship would be extremely close. This was not good news for the currently most powerful Ning family, as he had no way to reconcile with Yang Chen and had no common topic with Li Dun. According to reliable sources, Yang Chen had many connections with the Tang family.

In this case, the Ning family would be left isolated, causing Ning Guodong, who was waiting to assume the position of head of the Ning family, to feel extremely uneasy.

Yan Buxue's legs had gone weak. Fight with Li Dun? Was he out of his mind?!

In the end, Yan Buxue had no choice but to plead and hide behind Ning Guodong, saying, "Young Master, please intercede for me. I can't withstand a slap from Li Dun."

Ning Guodong's eyes flashed with disdain. If it weren't for the Yan family's current impressive momentum and Yan Buwen's ability to balance out Li Dun, he wouldn't have wanted to bring along the useless Yan Buxue and embarrass himself. However, if he upset Yan Buxue now, it would only make things more difficult for him, so he had no choice but to put on a forced smile and say to Li Dun, "Li, since you're asking, let's just let it go for today. Yan Buxue is a bit muddled; he's no match for you."

Li Dun snorted a few times, "Since Young Master Ning is pleading, I'll let him off the hook this time."

Ning Guodong was about to say a few polite words when Yang Chen, who had been sitting quietly, suddenly spoke up, "Wait a moment. I haven't agreed to let it go."

Upon hearing this, Ning Guodong's smile instantly froze, and a flash of resentment crossed his face. This was Yang Chen publicly slapping him in the face!

Yang Chen continued淡淡地道,"Just now, Yan Buxue was insulting me. Since you're speaking on his behalf to plead with Li Dun, you should also apologize to me. If you don't apologize here, I have no intention of letting this matter go."

Many people gasped in shock. This guy was incredibly bold, openly demanding an apology from Ning Guodong?! Even if Yan Buxue were to apologize now, it would mean Ning Guodong was backing down to Yang Chen. How would Ning Guodong maintain his standing in the future? Could the young master of the Ning family still have any face?

However, Yang Chen showed no signs of backing down. Although he had restrained his temperament after returning to his country, it didn't mean he would let someone insult him without consequence. The key was that he didn't like dealing with these people at all.
