414: Chapter 414 Stop fooling around, the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion has a lot to lose!

Ye Chen was as he always was, dressed in casual clothes; his ordinary appearance made it impossible for anyone to tell he was an Expert.

But no one would have imagined...

That such a young man was the one stirring up the winds and clouds.

The other person was Yan Qingwu.

She had changed her usual style of dress.

Today, she wore a moon-white Mamian skirt; although it slightly concealed her curvaceous figure, it added a touch of the gentle charm characteristic of women from Jiangnan.

However, her face still bore that 'keep away' expression, which, paired with this gentle outfit, created a unique kind of contrast beauty.

The two of them walked side-by-side into the football field.

That group of wolf cubs was practicing vigorously; seeing Ye Chen arrive, their eyes lit up one by one, and the force in their hands increased by several degrees.

The screams of Huo Tiandu and Liu Rushi instantly rose another octave.

Ye Chen turned a blind eye, walking straight to a sunshade at the edge of the field and plopping down onto a lounge chair.

Just as he sat down, a figure rushed over.

Liu Ruyan stood before him, her eyes rimmed with red and her silver teeth clenched tight.

“Ye Chen! Just what do you want?”

She pointed at Liu Rushi, who was being beaten so badly he was rolling all over the ground, her voice sounding on the verge of collapse. “My brother is about to be beaten to death by you all! Can't you just give me a straight answer?”

Ye Chen leaned back on the lounge chair and asked in surprise, “Do you mean give him a quick end and kill him?”

“No...”

Liu Ruyan’s face darkened. “I mean, what exactly do you want?”

Ye Chen crossed his legs and spoke indifferently.

“It’s not about what I want, it’s about what your husband is going to do.”

“When your husband comes and redeems you, you won't have to stay here anymore.”

“But before then...”

He paused, raising a hand to point toward the field.

“Just stay put honestly. Watching your brother get thrashed every day is quite entertaining, isn't it?”

“If you really find it boring, you can also go down there and take a few hits for your brother.”

“Those implants of yours should be quite durable!”

Liu Ruyan trembled with rage.

Entertaining?

You call this entertaining?

Go down there herself?

Was she crazy? Why would she voluntarily run down there to get beaten?

Just as she was about to explode, Yan Qingwu, who was beside them, spoke up playfully.

“Don't be in such a hurry.”

“I just contacted your husband.”

Liu Ruyan was stunned and suddenly turned her head to look at her.

Yan Qingwu crossed her arms and continued.

“If your husband brings his adoptive father today to negotiate...”

“Then if things go smoothly, you can leave today.”

Upon hearing this, a light of hope instantly erupted in Liu Ruyan's eyes.

But before she could finish being happy, Yan Qingwu's next sentence caused her expression to completely freeze.

“If they don't come...”

Yan Qingwu paused, her smile becoming even more brilliant.

“Then we will cut off a few of your implants and send them to him as mementos.”

“Consider it free maintenance for you.”

Liu Ruyan: “???”

She widened her eyes, looking at Yan Qingwu in disbelief, and then at Ye Chen.

Cut off implants?

As mementos?

Free maintenance???

Is this even human speech???

She opened her mouth, wanting to curse, but found her throat felt blocked by something; she couldn't utter a single word.

The two people in front of her were simply devils!

Perverts!

Demons!!!

She was shaking all over, whether from anger or fear, her lips trembling.

“You... you two...”

Ye Chen waved his hand, interrupting her.

“Enough, enough, stop with the 'you this' and 'me that'.”

“Go sit on the side, soak up some sun, and watch your brother get beaten. How pleasant.”

Liu Ruyan: “...”

She took a deep breath, then another, struggling to suppress the collapse in her heart, and turned to leave.

Halfway there, she stopped, turned back, and gave Ye Chen a fierce glare.

That look seemed like she wanted to swallow him alive.

But Ye Chen didn't look at her at all; he had already pulled out his phone and started scrolling.

Liu Ruyan bit her lip, turned to the edge of the field, sat down on the steps, and watched her screaming brother. She felt completely numb.

Just then.

A member of the Dragon Group ran in quickly, came straight to Ye Chen, and bowed.

“Chief Instructor! An old man named Pei Donglai, Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion is outside requesting an audience!”

Ye Chen was stunned for a moment and looked up: “Pei Donglai, Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion? Who’s that?”

Yan Qingwu spoke up irritably from the side.

“You’ve detained their elder and are beating him, yet you don't know who he is?”

“He is naturally the Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion.”

Ye Chen realized and nodded: “In the few days I was away, Tianji Pavilion hasn't been investigated yet?”

Yan Qingwu rolled her eyes.

“How can an investigation be that fast? There are procedures to follow!”

“Do you think the Dragon Group and Bureau 749 are run by your family? You can't just investigate whenever you want.”

Ye Chen shrugged, leaned back on the lounge chair, and spoke lazily.

“Fine, let him in.”

“I’d like to see what he wants to do.”

“If he starts acting crazy, I’ll just kill him, and then there won't be any need for an investigation.”

Yan Qingwu: “6.”

Good grief!

What a move—if you can't solve the problem, then solve the person who created the problem!

The Dragon Group member was also sweating a bit; he gave a response and turned to leave quickly.

A moment later.

A figure walked in from the entrance.

It was an old man in his seventies with white hair and beard, wearing a deep gray long robe; his face was lean, and his steps were steady.

It was indeed the Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion—Pei Donglai, Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion.

Behind him followed several elders and managers of Tianji Pavilion.

Each of their faces was gloomy, as if their parents had just died.

As soon as this group walked into the football field, their gaze was drawn to the bustling scene in the center.

One hundred and twenty wolf cubs were formed into two circles, fists and feet flying, accompanied by continuous screams.

Pei Donglai, Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion looked closely, and the corners of his eyes twitched violently.

Those two people being beaten until they were scurrying like rats and rolling on the ground...

Weren't they exactly his Tianji Pavilion's Great Elder Huo Tiandu and Foreign Affairs Elder Liu Rushi?!

At this moment, these two pillars of Tianji Pavilion were being pinned to the ground and mobbed by a group of young lads in their early twenties, completely unable to fight back.

Huo Tiandu was prone on the ground, head in his hands, clothes in tatters, face covered in bruises—it was a pathetic sight.

Liu Rushi wasn't doing any better, curled up on the ground, his wails even carrying a sob.

The corners of Pei Donglai, Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion's eyes twitched again.

What was being beaten wasn't just the bodies of Huo Tiandu and Liu Rushi.

It was also the face of his Tianji Pavilion!!!

Just then.

Huo Tiandu and Liu Rushi caught a glimpse of the familiar figures from Tianji Pavilion, and a light of plea for help instantly erupted in their eyes.

“Pavilion Master!!!”

The two of them roared in unison, their voices filled with excitement and grievance.

“Pavilion Master, save me!!!”

“We’re here! Quickly save us and get us out of here!!!”

Liu Ruyan also stood up, her face full of expectation and nervousness.

She expected that since the Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion had appeared, he should be able to save her brother, right?

She was nervous about whether he would also be detained...

At the thought of this, Liu Ruyan shuddered and hastily snuffed out that absurd idea.

No!

It would definitely not be like that!!!

At this moment, Pei Donglai, Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion stood in place, took a deep breath to suppress the twitching in his heart, and stepped toward Ye Chen.

Ye Chen leaned back on the lounge chair and smiled slightly as he watched Pei Donglai, Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion approach.

“Pavilion Master Pei, I have heard much about you.”

“I wonder what brings you here today?”

Pei Donglai, Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion's face was gloomy, his gaze staring at Ye Chen like a knife as he spoke coldly: “Ye Chen, are you the one who had people investigate my Tianji Pavilion?”

That’s right!

The current Tianji Pavilion had already been targeted by people from the Dragon Group and Bureau 749.

Furthermore.

They had already gone through two rounds of investigation, and many people had been taken away.

If it continued...

Not to mention others being unable to withstand it, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand it himself.

So he came.

He came here to find Ye Chen and demand an explanation!

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen nodded.

“That’s right.”

The veins on Pei Donglai, Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion's forehead throbbed slightly, and his voice became even deeper: “Don't push people too far. As the old saying goes, leave a way out for others so we can meet again in the future!”

Hearing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but laugh.

“Pavilion Master Pei, what you’ve said is quite interesting.”

“I had people investigate Tianji Pavilion; that was acting according to the law.”

“If your Tianji Pavilion has no problems, then naturally you shouldn't fear an investigation. Where does 'pushing too far' come into it?”

He paused, his smile becoming even more brilliant.

“But once problems are found in your Tianji Pavilion...”

“Then it’s quite reasonable for me to bully you, isn't it?”

“After all, in my, Ye Chen's, eyes, not even a grain of sand can be tolerated.”

Pei Donglai, Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion's face turned ashen, his chest heaving violently.

The elders behind him were even more furious, trembling all over, wishing they could rush up and tear Ye Chen apart.

But they didn't dare.

Even Huo Tiandu had been beaten to that state; if they went up, wouldn't they just be delivering their heads on a platter?

Pei Donglai, Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion took a deep breath, suppressing the monstrous rage in his heart, and spoke word by word: “Ye Chen, aren't you afraid my Tianji Pavilion will do something extreme?”

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow, his smile remaining harmless to both humans and animals.

“Oh?”

“Planning to kidnap the people around me?”

Pei Donglai, Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion shook his head: “No.”

A flash of surprise crossed Ye Chen's eyes, and then he tilted his head.

“Then you're planning to come directly and find trouble with me?”

Pei Donglai, Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion shook his head again: “Also no.”

Ye Chen leaned back on the lounge chair, resting his chin on his right hand, putting on a thoughtful expression.

“Let me think...”

“Are you planning to kneel down and beg me to let you go?”

As soon as he finished speaking.

Yan Qingwu, who was beside him, couldn't hold it in and giggled.

“Don't joke around. Tianji Pavilion values face the most; how could that be possible?”

However.

The next second.

“Thud!”

Pei Donglai, Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion's knees hit the ground, and he knelt straight down in front of Ye Chen!
