547: Chapter 547 Training Disciples!
Chu Niubi's face turned pale instantly.
He turned around abruptly and kicked Lin Fan on the shoulder, knocking him flat on his back just as he had started to get up.
"You motherfucker, you're trying to get me killed!"
Lin Fan lay on the ground, his face covered in tears and snot, not even daring to cry out loud.
After kicking Lin Fan, Chu Niubi turned back around, his expression shifting from ferocious to fawning with a speed comparable to a face-changing act.
"Master, you've misunderstood. How could I ever dare to deal with you?"
"It was that bastard Lin Fan who called me, saying a Cultivator had made a move on an ordinary person, breaking the rules, and asked me to come and uphold justice."
"I thought this was a matter that really needed handling, so I came over to take a look..."
"If I had known it was you, I wouldn't have dared to come even if you killed me!"
Ye Chen looked at him indifferently: "So you mean, if it wasn't me sitting here today, but some other Cultivator, you would have stood up for Lin Fan?"
Chu Niubi: "..."
Ye Chen continued to ask: "Then do you even know what he did? Why he offended a Cultivator?"
Chu Niubi: "..."
Ye Chen shook his head: "You didn't know anything, yet you acted according to your own assumptions. What if you had wronged a good person?"
Chu Niubi: "..."
He was speechless.
He really hadn't figured out the full story before rushing over in such a hurry.
Ye Chen stood up, walked over to Chu Niubi, and patted him on the shoulder.
"Chu Niubi, you became my disciple. What have I taught you?"
Chu Niubi lowered his head, his voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz: "Taught... taught me to be low-key, not to bully others by relying on power..."
"And what else?"
"And... and that Cultivators cannot make a move on ordinary people, and certainly cannot help ordinary people deal with other Cultivators..."
"Then what are you doing today?"
Chu Niubi fell silent.
Ye Chen withdrew his hand and said indifferently.
"Lin Fan drugged Sophie and kidnapped her to the hotel. This is a crime."
"He broke the rules first, which is why I took action."
"You rushed over to stand up for him without asking for the facts. Do you think you did the right thing?"
Chu Niubi's head drooped lower and lower; he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
"Master, I was wrong."
Ye Chen looked at him and remained silent for two seconds before saying: "After you go back, copy the Dragon Group's 'Cultivator Code of Conduct' one hundred times. You are not allowed to leave until you finish."
Chu Niubi's face fell instantly, but he didn't dare to say a single word of refusal.
"Yes, Master."
Ye Chen ignored him and turned to look at Lin Fan, who was still sprawled on the ground.
Lin Fan trembled all over and subconsciously shrank back.
Ye Chen looked down at him from above and said indifferently: "The Fucheng Lin family? It's time for them to be taught a lesson."
Lin Fan's pupils contracted sharply, and the color drained from his face completely, as if he had been drained of life.
"Mr... Mr. Ye, I didn't know she was your friend!"
"Please spare me this one time!"
"I won't dare to do it again!"
Ye Chen looked down at him, expressionless.
"With a name like a protagonist, yet you act like a villain. How can you expect me to spare you?"
"Besides, I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it."
"Tell me, should I spare you?"
Tears welled up in Lin Fan's eyes, and a sense of fear engulfed him.
The next second.
His body shook like a sieve, but he couldn't say a single word.
After all.
The man was right.
He had already been spared once, but he hadn't cherished it!
Ye Chen stood with one hand behind his back and said indifferently: "Enough, stop kneeling. I won't interfere in your affairs."
Lin Fan was stunned, a glimmer of hope flashing in his eyes.
Could it be...
Was this person planning to give him another chance?
He was just about to open his mouth in gratitude, but Ye Chen's next words made him fall completely into an ice cellar.
"Chu Niubi, you handle it."
Upon hearing this, Chu Niubi strode over to Lin Fan, a cold sneer tugging at the corner of his mouth: "Don't worry, Master. Leave this to me."
Ye Chen nodded, turned around, and looked at Sophie.
"Let's go, I'll take you back."
Sophie stood up and glanced at Lin Fan, her eyes devoid of sympathy, filled only with disgust.
She followed Ye Chen toward the hotel entrance.
Behind them came Lin Fan's sobbing pleas.
"Mr. Ye! Please spare me!"
"I won't dare again! I really won't dare again!"
Ye Chen didn't stop walking, not even turning his head back.
The two walked to the roadside, and a white Mercedes-Benz slowly drove up and stopped in front of them.
The car window rolled down, revealing Yi Yue's gentle face.
"A-Chen, Feifei, get in."
Sophie opened the back door and got in, and Ye Chen followed and sat in the passenger seat.
The car started, merged into traffic, and quickly disappeared into the night.
At the hotel entrance, Lin Fan was still kneeling on the ground, watching the direction the car had left in, his whole person as if drained of all substance.
He was done for.
Completely done for.
After seeing Ye Chen off, Chu Niubi turned to look at Lin Fan, the smile on his face fading, replaced by coldness.
"Lin Fan, oh Lin Fan, you really are something."
Lin Fan trembled all over: "Chu... Brother Chu..."
"Don't call me Brother Chu."
Chu Niubi squatted down and reached out to pat Lin Fan's swollen, unrecognizable face: "You motherfucker almost got me killed, do you know that?"
Lin Fan's lips trembled; he didn't dare to say a single word.
Chu Niubi stood up, hands in his pockets, looking at him coldly.
"The Fucheng Lin family, right?"
"Fine, I've remembered it."
"Starting tomorrow, your Lin family can forget about getting by in Fucheng."
Lin Fan's pupils contracted, his voice trembling: "Chu... Brother Chu, you can't do this, our Lin family..."
"Can't?"
Chu Niubi sneered, interrupting him.
"You motherfucker dared to make a move on my Master's woman, and even dared to call me to stand up for you, and now you're telling me I can't?"
"Lin Fan, do you think your life is too long?"
"Go check for yourself what happens to people who offend my Master!"
"He didn't take action against you personally because you aren't even worth his attention; he thinks you're dirty!"
Lin Fan knelt on the ground, his face covered in tears and snot, his whole body shaking like a sieve.
"Brother Chu, I really didn't know she was Mr. Ye's friend!"
"If I had known, I wouldn't have dared to touch her even if you killed me!"
"Please put in a good word for me in front of Mr. Ye. I'll pay! I'll pay whatever you want! Please, I beg you!"
Chu Niubi sneered.
"Pay?"
"Lin Fan, do you think money can solve everything?"
"You motherfucker drugged someone and kidnapped them to a hotel. Do you know that's attempted rape?"
"Just this charge alone is enough to put you in prison for a few years."
The look of fear on Lin Fan's face became even more pronounced.
For someone from a big family like him, even if they did something to someone, they could usually pull strings behind the scenes to get off scot-free.
But.
If one offended someone like Ye Chen, forget about pulling strings; they wouldn't get out for ten or eight years.
And.
The family behind him would also, in all likelihood, be thoroughly investigated along with him.
But their Lin family wasn't exactly a clean family to begin with; how could they withstand an investigation?
Once investigated, there would be no way out.
Especially when the order came from the Chief Instructor of the Dragon Group Hidden Dragon Pavilion?
Fear!
Boundless fear!
"Brother Chu..."
Lin Fan was about to grab Chu Niubi's leg to continue pleading.
But.
Chu Niubi kicked him away and said coldly.
"If begging for mercy worked, what would we need prisons for?"
"Lin Fan, let me tell you, today it's only because my Master couldn't be bothered to deal with you."
"If it were anyone else, you'd be a corpse by now."
"Look out for yourself; you should pray that your family doesn't have any issues."
As soon as he finished speaking.
Chu Niubi turned around, strode toward his lamborghini, opened the door, and got in.
The engine roared.
The yellow supercar shot off like an arrow from a bow, disappearing into the night in the blink of an eye.
Lin Fan knelt on the ground, disheveled in the night wind.
The surrounding Bodyguards stood in place from start to finish, not daring to make any move.
They understood very well...
The Lin family was finished!
After all.
In this society, which is like a big dye vat, who among those who want to be above others has clean hands?
A Bodyguard couldn't bear it and stepped forward to ask: "Young Master, what should we..."
"Get lost!"
Lin Fan snapped back to reality and roared.
Then.
He hurriedly took out his phone and made a call.
The next second.
The call connected.
A doting middle-aged voice came from the other end: "Xiao Fan, why do you have time to call me now? Did you get into trouble again?"
Lin Fan broke down crying: "Wah... Dad, it's over. This time I've really gotten into big trouble!"
...
Before long.
The car drove steadily into the residential complex where Sophie rented, stopping below the apartment building.
Ye Chen pushed the door and got out, and Sophie followed him.
But her steps were still a bit unsteady, and her legs felt weak when she walked.
Yi Yue locked the car, walked to Sophie's side, and reached out to support her arm.
Sophie forced a smile: "Teacher Yi, I'm fine."
"It's good that you're fine."
Yi Yue didn't let go, just said gently, "Let's go, let's go up first."
The three went upstairs and entered the house, only to see Yan Lingling sitting in the entryway by the door, hugging her knees, curled up into a ball like an abandoned kitten.
Hearing footsteps, she looked up abruptly.
"Feifei!"
Yan Lingling stood up instantly, rushed to Sophie, hugged her tightly, and tears streamed down her face.
"You scared me to death, do you know that!"
"I called you so many times and you didn't answer!"
"I was about to go all over the streets putting up missing persons posters!"
Sophie gently patted Yan Lingling's back: "Alright, alright, didn't I come back? Don't cry anymore, you won't look pretty if you keep crying!"
"You're the one who doesn't look pretty!"
Yan Lingling cried even harder.
Sophie was her only good friend, and the only person who had accompanied her through the darkest moments of her life.
She didn't want to lose her.
