155: He flipped the table!

Shen Wenshi gazed at Shen Ling, whose face remained pale and clearly hadn't recovered from the shock, and his hesitant heart was instantly ignited by a surge of rage.

"It's alright now."

He reassured her once more, then immediately sent a covert communication.

He understood perfectly well that whether he spoke up or not about this matter was irrelevant—it would soon reach Yan Sheng through various channels.

The key lay in an attitude, one that would completely shatter his stance of neutrality.

But he had also come to a realization.

Perhaps in the eyes of the five major powers, he, a mere Imperial Court Marquis with just one star river fiefdom and a Venerable Rank Martial Artist, was nothing.

But he still wanted to vent Shen Ling's anger.

While he was still just a King Rank Star Patrol Envoy, during the upcoming banquet, knowing there was a Military Alliance member from another star river present, and aware that Martial Arts Company happened to be embroiled in internal strife... at this moment.

The few who had just gone to inquire about the situation returned to Shen Wenshi's side.

They exchanged glances and spoke directly.

"Marquis."

"The accounts from those at the scene are consistent."

"Duke Yan's son publicly named Martial Arts Company and that Star Envoy, and the latter, who happened to be present, proceeded to beat him up without hesitation."

As soon as the words fell.

Several figures walked in through the main door.

Shen Wenshi immediately said in a low voice.

"Handle it."

Then, with a smile on his face, he stepped forward a few paces.

"You all arrived quite quickly."

As Shen Wenshi's personal guards, their abilities and understanding of him went without saying; without the slightest hesitation, they turned to "pacify" everyone at the scene.

And those figures, after casually glancing at them, shifted their gaze to Shen Wenshi.

Among them.

Were Cao Xiujie and Shu Xia, whom Lin Yan had seen before.

They all keenly noticed Shen Wenshi's few steps forward, their eyes flickering slightly as smiles appeared on their faces.

"Marquis Shen!"

"As expected, you're faster!"

"Haha."

"My daughter had an incident, so naturally I came quickly." Shen Wenshi's gaze swept over them, his eyes flickering.

Not just the Military Alliance.

Supreme Academy had also sent someone.

That was even better.

"And these two are...?"

A voice, neither cold nor warm, came from beside Cao Xiujie.

"Supreme Academy, Cao Ya."

Shu Xia's side wasn't slow either, as a deep voice came through.

"Military Alliance, Pei Xingwen."

After speaking.

This man and woman exchanged a glance, a cold light flashing simultaneously in their eyes.

Clearly.

The two knew each other, and not just casually.

Shen Wenshi ignored their subtle expressions and nodded slightly.

Just as he was about to continue speaking.

"Brother Pei!"

A voice like a ghost's wail came through.

A pig-headed face was thrust in front of Pei Xingwen, who reflexively wanted to slap it away.

"Brother Pei! You've finally come!!"

Pei Xingwen's eyes were suspicious.

"Brother Yan?"

"It's me! It's me!!" Yan Nan's pig head nodded vigorously, saliva spraying everywhere due to missing teeth or his swollen face.

Shu Xia frowned slightly, stepping back inconspicuously.

Pei Xingwen's eyes were furious.

"Brother Yan!"

"Who hit you?!"

"Who dared hit you!"

Yan Nan answered angrily, "Martial Arts Company! That damned Lin Yan from Martial Arts Company!"

"Lin Yan?!" Pei Xingwen turned to look at Shu Xia, his eyes frighteningly red, "Who is Lin Yan?"

Shu Xia's mouth twitched slightly.

"The one from the Eastern Region I told you about."

Pei Xingwen's eyes flashed with realization, then he turned and abruptly hugged Yan Nan, his voice filled with guilt.

"Brother Yan."

"I came too late!"

Yan Nan, caught off guard by the sudden attack, stiffened at first.

Then came overwhelming grievance.

"Wuwu... wuwuwu..."

He sobbed a few times.

Pei Xingwen held his shoulders, his red eyes utterly sincere.

"Brother Yan, rest for a while!"

"Later, I'll take you to seek justice!"

Immediately.

Yan Nan burst into tears.

He nodded repeatedly.

"Okay... okay..."

When I go back, I'll tell my father—the Military Alliance is good, the Military Alliance is definitely a great partner, stop hesitating!

Shu Xia, who had watched the entire process, was speechless.

Pei Xingwen, you nearly two-meter-tall brute, couldn't you act a little less convincingly?

Cao Xiujie and Cao Ya, who had been controlling themselves not to laugh out loud, exchanged a glance.

This battle maniac Pei Xingwen actually had such tricks up his sleeve.

Especially Cao Xiujie, who thought to himself.

This Lin Yan, his strikes are too vicious.

Fortunately, he didn't treat me like that during the arena match.

But why would he attack Duke Yan's only son?

He didn't dwell on it.

Because Cao Ya had already spoken.

"Young Master Yan, rest assured."

"Our Supreme Academy will certainly not stand by and let such a vile incident occur."

Yan Nan turned his head, his eyes hesitated for just a moment before nodding immediately.

"Thank you."

Supreme Academy is also quite good.

"Ahem..."

Knowing it was his turn to speak, Shen Wenshi cleared his throat lightly.

"Nephew."

"You've suffered."

"At the upcoming exchange meeting, I, as Marquis, will sternly condemn Lin Yan's actions from the Imperial Court's perspective."

Yan Nan paused, a flash of delight in his eyes.

"Thank you, Marquis!"

What's going on?

Shen Wenshi, who had always been unyielding, had actually shifted his stance!

This was the Imperial Court tough guy his father had long wanted to recruit!

No matter how much they talked about the relationships among the five major star river powers, nothing compared to having someone from your own side!

He suddenly felt this beating wasn't in vain!

Great merit! I, the Young Master, have achieved great merit!

Pei Xingwen and the others narrowed their eyes slightly.

Indeed.

This Marquis Shen, who had always remained neutral, had wavered in his stance.

They glanced inconspicuously at Shen Ling, who had kept her head bowed and hadn't spoken from start to finish, and quickly understood the reason.

Only this kind of reason could affect this thousand-year-old fox!

Shen Wenshi faced the many gazes calmly.

He glanced at his personal guards still busy in the hall.

"The matter is now understood."

"I think we might as well go over now?"

Immediately.

"Right!"

Yan Nan raised his arm, his already red pig-headed face flushing even darker with anger.

"Let's go now!"

"What exchange meeting!"

"Just flip the table on him!"

Pei Xingwen glanced at Cao Ya, who happened to be looking his way, and his expression instantly turned furious.

He threw an arm around Yan Nan's shoulder, also raising his arm.

"Dare to mess with my brother Pei Xingwen!"

"We must flip it!"

"Damn!"

Yan Nan was deeply moved by this gesture, turned his head, tears of gratitude glistening in his eyes, and roared along.

"Damn!"

Then he strode out first, with a swagger ten thousand times more arrogant than usual.

At this moment, he felt incredibly powerful!
