"Why should I go with you?" Li Se raised an eyebrow. The two burly men in front of him clearly looked like they had trained.
"Our young master fancies her!" one of the burly men said indifferently, as if stating a trivial matter. Clearly, such incidents were not uncommon.
Bai Shaotian knew his chance to shine had arrived. He said, "My good sirs, who is your young master?"
The two burly men sized up Bai Shaotian, seeming to sense his extraordinary nature. They replied, "Young Master Xu!"
Bai Shaotian searched his memory carefully and found no wealthy young masters he knew named Xu. He then paid it no further mind, crossing his legs and saying, "Go back and tell that so-called Young Master Xu that this is the woman Bai Shaotian has set his sights on!"
"Did you hear that? Get lost!" Guo Fufu commanded.
The two burly men frowned slightly.
Bai Shaotian stopped paying attention to them and turned to Jiang Ranran, saying, "Ranran, don't worry, I'll protect you."
"I don't need you!" Jiang Ranran said coldly. "I'm not your woman either!"
"Ranran, this is the only way I can keep you safe," Bai Shaotian said with a smile.
"Bai Shaotian, is it?" Li Se narrowed his eyes. "If you dare to call Ranran your woman again, I'll smash your mouth!"
"How dare you?" Bai Shaotian was somewhat annoyed. Li Se was just a penniless kid from Qingyun City, yet he dared to provoke him repeatedly!
"Heh, the woman Young Master Xu fancies, no amount of Bai Shaotian or Hei Shaotian matters!" the burly man said dismissively.
"Beautiful lady, come with us, or we'll have to resort to force," the other burly man said.
Clearly, Bai Shaotian's influence was useless.
Bai Shaotian, already angered, felt even more furious seeing the two burly men disregard him so completely. "Don't you understand what I said?"
"So imposing, Bai Shaotian!"
Just then, a male voice rang out.
Upon hearing the voice, Li Se felt it sounded somewhat familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before. When he clearly saw the figure, he was somewhat surprised.
It was Xu Zhenxing!
The ex-boyfriend of Xia Bingyun.
The last time they met was in Qingyun City. Li Se had pointed out Xu Zhenxing's kidney deficiency and Xu Zhenxing had vowed revenge. He never expected to meet him at this underground boxing ring.
"Who are you?" Bai Shaotian snorted.
However, Xu Zhenxing directly ignored Bai Shaotian. He looked at Li Se, then at Jiang Ranran, and said with a half-smile, "Li Se, what elegant taste. Changed women so quickly?"
"Xu Zhenxing, you kidney-deficient fellow," Li Se replied with a similar half-smile.
Xu Zhenxing was furious. "You're asking for death! Attack!"
Upon receiving the order, the two burly men immediately swung their fists towards Li Se's face.
"After I deal with you, I'll have some fun with your woman," Xu Zhenxing said, somewhat excitedly. After all, Jiang Ranran was no less attractive than Xia Bingyun.
Bang, bang…
But before Xu Zhenxing could get excited, the two burly men had already fallen to the ground, groaning in pain.
Bai Shaotian and the others were dumbfounded. They had clearly not expected Li Se to handle these two burly men so effortlessly.
Slap!
A moment later, a slapping sound echoed.
"Xu Zhenxing, you useless bum, stop thinking about women and spend more time on exercise. It'll help your kidneys. Get lost!"
Li Se spoke without any regard for Xu Zhenxing's feelings, and his voice was quite loud.
This immediately shifted the attention of many people who were watching the fights on the stage towards Xu Zhenxing. Everyone's gaze was a bit strange, with some occasionally glancing at his crotch.
"You dare to hit me? You just wait! I'll have Brother Fei kill you!" Xu Zhenxing said fiercely, then turned and fled.
Jiang Ranran said with some concern, "Should we leave? He'll definitely find people to come here."
"No need," Li Se replied, completely unconcerned. His purpose for being here was to obtain the Thirteen Needles of the Ghost Gate. He hadn't gotten the silver needles yet, so how could he be scared away by Xu Zhenxing?
"Ranran, listen to me, let's leave first. You're not from Tiancheng, so you don't know Brother Fei, which is normal. Brother Fei is the leader of the Flying Motorcycle Gang, a local power in Qingyun City. If Brother Fei really shows up, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Bai Shaotian hadn't heard of Xu Zhenxing, but he had heard of Brother Fei. As a resident of Tiancheng, how could he not know Brother Fei?
Furthermore, he had even had dealings with the Flying Motorcycle Gang before.
Guo Fufu sneered, "In the end, you'll still have to rely on Bai Shao, won't you?"
Guo Caijun nodded, "Ranran, Bai Shao is your ultimate destination. Even against Brother Fei, Bai Shao can protect you."
"No need!" Jiang Ranran replied with two cold words.
Bai Shaotian pondered for a moment and then said, "Ranran, it's okay if you don't leave. I'll step forward and protect you later. As for him," he chuckled, "offending Brother Fei, he's basically done for."
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people started walking towards them.
Leading them was the boss of the Flying Motorcycle Gang, Brother Fei.
"Brother Fei, it's him!" Xu Zhenxing pointed at Li Se, gritting his teeth. "I saw a beautiful woman and thought I'd bring her to show my respect to you, but I didn't expect this kid to even beat me up."
Although Brother Fei was the leader of one of the four major gangs in Jiangnan Province, he was quite young, appearing to be only around thirty years old. He squinted at Li Se and said with a smile, "Kid, you've got some skills, haven't you? But causing trouble on my territory is a very dangerous thing."
Saying that, he looked at Jiang Ranran and continued, "I fancy this woman. Do you have any objections?"
Just as Li Se was about to say something, Bai Shaotian quickly said, "Brother Fei, do you remember me? Bai Shaotian."
"Oh, it's Young Master Bai," Brother Fei finally glanced at Bai Shaotian.
"Brother Fei, it's like this..." Bai Shaotian wanted to explain.
Slap!
Brother Fei slapped him. "Did I ask you to speak?"
Bai Shaotian stood stunned. Such public humiliation left him extremely embarrassed, but he didn't dare to say anything. Despite being a rich second generation, he was nowhere near Brother Fei's level.
Let alone him, even if his father came, it wouldn't be of much use.
With Bai Shaotian being hit, Guo Fufu and Guo Caijun immediately fell silent, lowering their heads. They knew that Jiang Ranran was probably doomed to fall into Brother Fei's clutches today.
"Since you asked if I have any objections, then naturally I do, because she is my woman." Li Se stood up, still with a composed expression.
"Break his legs, and take this woman away!"
Brother Fei uttered this sentence, then turned to leave.
The people he brought with him looked like they were about to act.
Li Se also prepared to counterattack.
"Stop!"
A cold shout cut through the air.
Zhao Ba arrived. He walked over quickly and said with a cold smile, "This is my friend. Brother Fei, would you give me some face?"
