Chapter 24: Ye Chen, A Violent Maniac?

“Why so angry? Didn’t your father teach you to be kind to others?” Ah Long scolded as he stared at the deep pit at his feet, cursing under his breath. He was lucky to have dodged Ye Chen’s fierce attack.

“You’re asking for it!” Ah Long’s mention of Ye Chen’s father only fueled Ye Chen’s rage. He wouldn’t tolerate any disrespect towards his late father.

Without holding back, Ye Chen swiftly moved beside Ah Long and aimed a punch at his abdomen. Ah Long narrowly evaded the attack, understanding the gravity of the situation.

Angered by Ye Chen’s unprovoked violence, Ah Long unleashed his full strength, channeling his internal energy into his legs and aiming a kick at Ye Chen’s head.

Under the dark night sky, with waves crashing against the dock, the two engaged in a fierce battle. Soon, Ah Long was evidently outmatched due to Ye Chen’s superior cultivation level. The gap between the Dark Energy realm and the Innate realm was an insurmountable gulf.

“It’s getting late; I should take you home,” Jiang Che suggested to Shen Qingqiu at Hai Di Yue Tian Shang Guang restaurant, noting it was already ten o’clock. Shen Qingqiu, not having used her internal energy to sober up, was slightly tipsy.

“Okay~” Shen Qingqiu replied obediently, her cheeks flushed like a docile kitten, looking utterly adorable.Rread latest chapters at novelhall.com

“Waiter, the check please,” Jiang Che called out. The waiter promptly arrived, beaming.

“Young Master Jiang, our boss has said this meal is on him. It’s his treat for you,” the waiter informed.

“Tell your boss I owe him a favor,” Jiang Che said, not dwelling on the matter. He gently supported a somewhat inebriated Shen Qingqiu and headed for the exit.

“Ah Long, what exactly happened?” Jiang Che looked at Ah Long, signaling him with his eyes.

Ah Long, understanding the cue, feigned weakness and spoke, “This guy came here demanding to see President Shen. I told him she was dining with you and asked him to wait, but he started beating me up without a word...”

Ah Long then coughed violently and spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning pale and his lips trembling, as if enduring immense pain.

“Do you have anything else to say?” Shen Qingqiu’s gaze was icy as she looked at Ye Chen, truly baffled by her junior brother’s behavior today.

“He’s slandering me! He insulted me first,” Ye Chen protested, feeling utterly aggrieved and frustrated.

“Slander? How do you explain his injuries then? Can you deny that you caused them?” Shen Qingqiu pressed him further.

“I...” Ye Chen was at a loss for words, feeling like a mute who had swallowed bitter herbs – full of suffering he couldn’t express.

“Apologize to Ah Long and Jiang Che,” Shen Qingqiu said, taking a deep breath. Regardless of her anger, Ye Chen was her junior brother and her master’s favorite disciple. She couldn’t be too harsh on him.

“I...” Ye Chen hesitated, clearly unwilling.

“What, you don’t want to apologize?” Shen Qingqiu glanced at him, her cultivation power as a master of the Transformation realm manifesting an invisible pressure that bore down on Ye Chen.

“I... I will...” Ye Chen broke into a sweat, his back soaked with cold perspiration. He realized Shen Qingqiu was truly angry, and if he didn’t apologize, he might face a severe beating.

Remembering something terrifying, Ye Chen involuntarily shivered...
