143: Don't bully the poor young

“If she doesn’t agree, even if it’s the King of Heaven, no one can snatch her away from me!”

Xia Xuan’s voice was exceptionally firm.

This made everyone burst into laughter.

“This guy, he couldn’t possibly think he’s very strong, could he?”

“He must have watched too many TV dramas, actually believing that a surge of passion can change everything.”

“I really don’t know what this kid is thinking, to cause such a scene.”

No one thought highly of Xia Xuan, nor did anyone consider Xia Xuan’s actions at this moment to be great.

Instead, they found it extremely ridiculous, and this included Chen Tianming.

“Security, where are the security guards? Quickly drag these two idiots into the trash heap.”

Li Dong couldn’t sit still; he couldn’t let a perfectly good situation turn into this.

Following Li Dong’s voice, four or five security guards quickly rushed in, immediately intending to kick Xia Xuan out.

“I’d like to see who dares!”

Xia Xuan puffed out his chest, thinking he looked very handsome, but unexpectedly, right after he finished speaking, several security guards rushed over.

“Slap!”

“Slap!”

“Slap!”

Several crisp sounds rang out, and the security guards felt a sting on their faces. Xia Xuan’s movements were exceptionally fast, slapping each person across the face.

“Just you people, you can’t kick me out!”

Xia Xuan’s calm and composed demeanor left everyone a bit dumbfounded.

But just as everyone thought Xia Xuan had successfully shown off, a stream of tea shot towards Xia Xuan.

Under everyone’s shocked and bewildered gazes, Xia Xuan was actually sent flying backward, directly hitting the doorframe.

Then he lay prostrate on the ground.

“With your meager abilities, you still insist on showing off. You can’t even catch a drop of tea, what are you showing off for?”

Chen Tianming’s words were like a sharp thorn, instantly piercing Xia Xuan’s heart.

“Detected Child of Destiny’s mentality has been struck, gained 866 Devil's Value.”

“Detected Child of Destiny is bewildered, gained 955 Devil's Value.”

“Detected Child of Destiny…”

A series of system sounds rang in Chen Tianming’s mind, making him secretly pleased.

“Junior Brother, are you alright? What happened?”

Ai Yun also hadn’t expected such a thing to happen and quickly helped her Junior Brother up.

She knew her Junior Brother’s strength; even professionally trained bodyguards were no match for him.

But she hadn’t expected that Chen Tianming, with just a stream of tea, could turn her Junior Brother into this state.

If she didn’t know her Junior Brother well enough, she would have suspected if he was cooperating with Chen Tianming in a performance.

“He… how could he be so powerful?”

Wiping the corner of his mouth, Xia Xuan said with lingering fear. Just now, he had felt a fatal crisis.

“Xia Dage, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault!”

Just as everyone was preparing to watch the show, Li Qingzhi suddenly rushed over from her seat.

She ran to Xia Xuan’s side and helped him up.

“How can it be your fault? It’s all that hateful Chen Tianming’s fault. If it weren’t for him, none of this would have happened.”

Seeing that Li Qingzhi’s heart was still with him, Xia Xuan felt much better.

If even Li Qingzhi didn’t stand with him, he would completely lose face.

“Qingzhi, what are you doing? Nonsense!”

Li Dong saw his daughter actually run to Xia Xuan’s side, and he was about to explode with anger.

“Qingzhi, don’t be willful, come back quickly. What’s so good about that person?”

Zhao Lan was also startled and quickly shouted.

“Dad, Mom, you keep saying you want me to be with Chen Tianming.”

“But have you considered my feelings?”

“What’s so good about him? Isn’t it just that he’s rich? Although Xia Dage is poor now, his medical skills are excellent, and he will definitely earn a lot of money. Why won’t you give him a chance?”

Li Qingzhi’s words echoed throughout the hall, making everyone look at her with some pity.

“What a foolish girl.”

“Chen Shao is more than just rich; now things have gotten serious.”

“It’s a pity for such a good girl, to be so utterly enchanted by that kid.”

The murmurs of the crowd did not escape Xia Xuan’s ears.

He took a deep breath, enduring the pain in his body, and straightened himself up.

“Thirty years to the east, thirty years to the west, don’t bully a young man for being poor!”

“I, Xia Xuan, will one day step on Chen Tianming, no matter how many hardships and dangers I have to go through.”

Xia Xuan’s serious demeanor left Chen Tianming a bit speechless.

“Is that so? Then I’d like to see how far you can develop.”

“But for now, since you’re so arrogant, you’ll have to pay some price.”

“I’ll spare your life for now, but one of your legs will stay here.”

As soon as Chen Tianming finished speaking, Ai Yun eagerly blocked Xia Xuan’s path.

She had understood: Chen Tianming didn’t intend to let her Junior Brother go; instead, he wanted one of her Junior Brother’s legs.

“Senior Sister, be careful!”

As soon as Xia Xuan finished this sentence, he saw Chen Tianming flick his finger, and then he saw Ai Yun instantly curl up like a large shrimp.

“Senior Sister, what’s wrong? Don’t scare me.”

Chen Tianming also hadn’t expected Ai Yun to be so decisive, disregarding her own body for Xia Xuan’s safety.

Slowly standing up, he stopped the anxious Li Dong and walked towards Xia Xuan.

“Chen Tianming, what… what exactly do you want?”

Watching Chen Tianming walk towards Xia Xuan step by step, Li Qingzhi didn’t know why she felt a little flustered, and her voice trembled slightly.

“What else? Of course, to leave one of his legs here.”

Chen Tianming spoke exceptionally calmly, but to Li Qingzhi, it was undoubtedly the most terrifying sound in the world.

“Chen Tianming, please… please don’t hurt Xia Dage, don’t hurt him, okay?”

Li Qingzhi’s voice carried a hint of trembling, a hint of plea.

Whether in terms of martial power or family background, Li Qingzhi couldn’t imagine how Xia Xuan could withstand Chen Tianming’s wrath.

“No.”

The answer to Li Qingzhi was just two words.

“I… I beg you, as long as you promise not to hurt Xia Dage, I’ll do anything you want, please.”

Li Qingzhi had no other choice and blurted it out without thinking.

“No, Qingzhi, don’t beg him! I, Xia Xuan, am not afraid of him! Let him come!”

“Sister Qingzhi, don’t be foolish.”

Xia Xuan and Ai Yun both said with some surprise, only to see Li Qingzhi’s face already covered in tears.

“As long as you don’t hurt him, I’ll do anything?”

Chen Tianming also hadn’t expected Li Qingzhi to say that, and he immediately asked with some doubt.

“As long as you don’t hurt Xia Dage, anything.”

Li Qingzhi seemed to have lost all her strength, speaking weakly.
