396: Chapter 396: Don’t Force Me to Get Rough 396: Chapter 396: Don’t Force Me to Get Rough Wei Yaoye looked at Tangyu, yet disdain and ridicule flashed in his eyes, “What, don’t women naturally have such privileges?
Everyone should be responsible for their actions, women included.
This little girl has insulted and trampled on my dignity over and over again, so naturally, I must punish her.”
“Hold your tongue, punishment isn’t something you can just declare.
Her words may not be pleasant, but she’s still a little girl, children are outspoken.
You’re a grown man, surely you wouldn’t be so petty with a little girl?” Tangyu said.
He remained civil before resorting to force, acknowledging that Zhao Yaya’s insults were indeed harsh and understanding why the other party was angry.
Whenever possible, Tangyu preferred to reason, as he was not an unreasonable brute.
Of course, this was based on the fact that Wei Yaoye hadn’t done anything excessively outrageous so far.
“Hmph, ‘children are outspoken’, but I don’t buy that excuse.
I have said before, whoever offends my dignity will be punished and will pay the proper price.
She is not a three-year-old child; I don’t have that much magnanimity.
Therefore, my words still stand,” Wei Yaoye sneered coldly.
Tangyu also grew displeased.
If the other party were willing to let things go, Tangyu would not bother arguing further.
After all, they were out to enjoy themselves, aiming for happiness, and it wasn’t worth spoiling everyone’s mood over some issues.
However, it seemed this matter was difficult to resolve amicably.
The commotion also attracted others.
Three other young masters came over with their bodyguards, providing a strong back-up for Wei Yaoye.
Deng Li walked over, his eyes somewhat hostile towards Wei Yaoye, and asked Tangyu, “What’s wrong?
Do you need my help?”
“Stand aside for now, I’ll handle this,” Tangyu told Deng Li, not wanting to drag him into this.
After all, these four individuals seemed quite influential, and if they harbored thoughts of revenge, Deng Li might be in a tough spot.
“Oh.” Deng Li looked at Tangyu, then retreated to where Guo Momo and the others were.
They weren’t very worried about the situation here, as they had great faith in Tangyu’s abilities.
Tangyu looked at Wei Yaoye and said, “It seems you really are a sissy, lacking even that bit of magnanimity; you’re indeed not much of a man.
She just spoke the truth, what, did that make you lose your temper?”
Indeed, Tangyu was provoking him.
Wei Yaoye’s face darkened, and his expression became murderous, “It seems you are courting death.”
Tangyu smiled faintly and said, “Don’t force me to get rough.”
In the air, tension and the smell of gunpowder were thick, creating a pressurized atmosphere.
However, Zhao Yaya was somewhat excited and shouted, “Good guy, beat him up, that freak!
He has such a punchable face.
Hit him hard and let’s see if he dares to be so arrogant again.”
“Beat him to death.” Wei Yaoye completely lost his temper and snorted coldly.
His bodyguard, poised for action like a fierce wolf, charged towards Tangyu at high speed with murderous intent.
With a leap, he reached Tangyu and threw a punch straight at Tangyu’s forehead, as if aiming to smash his skull.
Tangyu advanced instead of retreating, dodging the bodyguard’s punch with a sidestep, then suddenly slammed his elbow hard against the bodyguard’s chest.
Narrowing his eyes, the bodyguard was skilled enough to be the personal bodyguard to one of Linwu’s Four Young Masters—they were usually composed even in dangerous situations.
He bent his arm for defense, placing it across his chest.
Tangyu’s fist slammed into the bodyguard’s arm with a loud ‘thump’, causing the bodyguard to stagger backward, his arm swelling with a painful, burning sensation, beginning to numb.
“Hmph!” The bodyguard grunted coldly and charged forward again.
Seeing his own bodyguard at a disadvantage, Wei Yaoye’s expression turned ugly, a flicker of concern passed through his eyes.
The other three also watched intensely, realizing this young man was not so easy to deal with.
Tangyu gave no chance for the bodyguard to recover and pursued his advantage, pressing closely as the bodyguard retreated.
“Thump thump thump!!!”
Before the bodyguard could strike, Tangyu swiftly delivered three punches, each landing solidly on the bodyguard’s body, the last one smashing directly into the bodyguard’s chest.
The blow caused the bodyguard to tumble backward, his body thrown violently to the ground, creating a shallow crater.
He struggled for a while before staggeringly getting up, but blood was already trickling from the corner of his mouth, clearly having sustained internal injuries.
“Yay, the good guy is so awesome, beat them, beat them hard, let them know they shouldn’t be so arrogant or dare to mess with us,” Zhao Yaya said excitedly, dancing around.
Her cheers were like stinging slashes to the hearts of Wei Yaoye and the Linwu Four Young Masters.
They felt as if they had been slapped in the face.
When had they ever been put at a disadvantage in front of others?
They were accustomed to controlling the life and death of others, reigning supreme like kings.
When had they suffered such a loss?
A fierce twitch crossed Wei Yaoye’s eyes, knowing full well the skill of his bodyguard.
In a clash with ordinary thugs, his bodyguard could easily handle twenty or thirty single-handedly.
Yet in just two rounds, he was defeated and even spat blood.
The gap between their strength was indeed vast.
Wei Yaoye was infuriated and frustrated, it seemed this young man had quite the skill.
The bodyguard was still very loyal, despite spitting blood, he kept his fierce focus on Tangyu, determined to charge again no matter what.
“Come back.” Wei Yaoye gave an order, and the bodyguard retreated obediently to his side, bowing his head and saying, “I have disappointed you, Master Wei.
Please, punish me.”
“Step aside for now.” Wei Yaoye waved his hand dismissively and looked at Tangyu with a cold smirk, “It seems you can really fight, huh?”
“Just a bit,” Tangyu replied.
“I’ve said it before, don’t force me to get physical.
We are all civilized people; there’s no need to resort to violence over trivial matters, right?
Approaching us like this, don’t you think it’s a bit too much?
Since my friends don’t want to talk to you anymore, please show some respect.
We can have fun on our own.”
“Hmph, just because I can’t touch you today doesn’t mean I can’t tomorrow.
My dignity, Wei Yaoye’s dignity, is not to be trampled on for nothing.
Once my word is out, there’s no taking it back.
There’s always tomorrow, and today’s account, I’ll remember it,” Wei Yaoye said with a sinister chuckle.
Tangyu, looking utterly unconcerned, replied, “Whatever you want, I’m up for it.”
“We’ll see about that,” Wei Yaoye said, and then they all left.
After sending off the group, Deng Li came up, looking at Tangyu with a odd expression but admiration in his eyes, “Wow, just like that, you knocked that guy down.”
“You’re not bad yourself,” Tangyu knowingly said.
Deng Li scratched his head, “Actually, I’m just naturally strong.
I never really learned anything, just a Taoist taught me a bit when I was little.
I haven’t gotten into many fights, so I don’t really know how good I am.”
“Don’t just fight with people randomly; I’m afraid you might not be able to control your strength,” Tangyu patted Deng Li’s shoulder and advised.
Deng Li sheepishly smiled and scratched his head, a bit embarrassed, “Hehe, how did you know?
I once got into a fight and nearly killed our village’s old cow with one punch.
Since then, I’ve been afraid to hit anyone.”
Deng Li indeed possessed brute strength but lacked control.
“When we have time, I’ll teach you a few moves on how to control your strength.
But remember, Kung Fu is best used for self-defense,” Tangyu said.
“Really, haha, thank you very much.
You must be older than me, so I’ll call you Big Brother Tangyu,” Tangyu’s words immediately closed the distance between him and Deng Li.
“Right, Big Brother Tangyu, those four guys are the village chief’s esteemed guests.
I’ve heard they come from wealthy families and are sons of rich folks.
You might have some trouble after this.
But honestly, I’ve disliked them from the start.
I can tell by their looks they really look down on our villagers.
I don’t like their arrogance and the way they gaze at us.
Also, they ran over a few of our chickens as soon as they arrived, claiming the village chickens are too dumb, even though it was their speeding,” Deng Li indignantly added.
“No worries, we’re not afraid of trouble,” Tangyu said with a calm smile.
Deng Li glanced at Tangyu, not quite understanding his meaning, but he could feel a confident strength from Tangyu’s tone and expression.
His mind wasn’t complicated, so if he didn’t need to worry, he just wouldn’t.
“Let’s go, there’s an apple orchard ahead, I want to pick some apples, these oranges are so sweet, I must pick more on my way back,” Zhao Yaya said nonchalantly.
“This time, let’s not split up too much, at least pair up in twos,” Tangyu said seriously.
Obviously, Tangyu paired with Lin Feifei, Zhao Yaya with Guo Momo, adding Deng Li, since these two were especially important to protect.
Liu Shanshan and Fang Min paired up.
This setting split them into three groups, but not too far apart; a simple call could bring them together.
The forest was too large to stay grouped; it wouldn’t be fun.
Plus, with Zhao Yaya’s restless spirit present, unless one followed her, it was hard to coordinate movements.
For Lin Feifei, it was a rare pleasure to be alone with Tangyu; she wasn’t even interested in picking apples.
No bounty of red apples could compare to the joy of being with Tangyu.
Strolling through the orchard was an artistic conception in itself, the faint fragrance in the air making the mood great and spirits high.
Before he knew it, Tangyu’s hand had found Lin Feifei’s hand, and the two, like a freshly in-love young couple, walked, soaking in the nourishment love brought.
“If only we could keep walking like this until the end of time,” Lin Feifei suddenly said.
Tangyu playfully scolded, “Silly girl, we’d starve to death after three to five days.”
“Pfft—You’re really not romantic,” Lin Feifei said.
Tangyu thought to himself, “I have ‘pleasure’.”
