Ren Youhua finished speaking, and then said to Wen Qiang, "Young Master Wen, don't take offense with this lowly woman! Don't get angry!"
"To be honest with you, even if you were a dog, with your noble status, I would still accept it!"
Wen Qiang's face was grim.
How did these words sound a bit off to him?
It was as if he was being compared to a dog.
But Ren Youhua was flattering him, so he couldn't say much.
"Li Ziling, hehe, I truly like you, give me a chance. I heard you haven't been doing well in Longmen. If you give me a chance, with me here, no one will dare bully you again."
Wen Qiang sneered inwardly.
He was partly responsible for Li Ziling's situation in Longmen.
He wasn't worried that Li Ziling would refuse him.
Otherwise, Li Ziling's path in Longmen would be fraught with difficulties.
Any normal woman would understand that choosing him was the best option.
"Li Ziling, long time no see," Chen Jie interrupted Wen Qiang, looking at Li Ziling with a smile.
Truth be told, Li Ziling felt a trace of confusion.
It wasn't because she was contemplating whether to accept Wen Qiang.
It was simply that her current status was indeed a disgrace to her father.
She didn't want to continue living such a subservient life.
Now, she actually missed her life at the dance school.
Although she missed her father then, she didn't have so many worries.
She was the darling of the class, everyone supported her, and Ah Zhu was always helping her.
Chen Jie's appearance also gave her an opportunity to find her father.
It was also the beginning of her troubles.
On one hand, she was torn about whether to accept Chen Jie and what his true intentions were in approaching her.
However, this struggle and distress were also accompanied by a hint of sweetness, her own secret.
On the other hand, as she became involved in more matters, her conflicts with people also increased.
This was something she most disliked facing.
However, if she could go back to the past, she would still make the same choice.
Because nothing was more important than finding her father.
Upon hearing Chen Jie's words, Li Ziling stared blankly at him.
Without even answering Wen Qiang, she called out, "Brother Chen Jie!"
After saying that, she unhesitatingly threw herself towards Chen Jie, hugging him tightly.
She had endured too much grievance during this time and had no one to confide in. The moment she saw Chen Jie, she almost broke down.
"Chen Jie, brother?"
Wen Qiang's face turned grim upon hearing this.
"Li Ziling, are you giving me too much face?"
He was furious.
He was a young master from an ancient aristocratic family. Even if he wanted to pursue Gu Yue, the Gu family wouldn't dare to refuse. When did he ever have a lowly woman slap his face?
He recalled that it was only after he learned that Gu Chong and Gu Bao had tricked his family's experts that he canceled the engagement with the Gu family.
If that hadn't happened, wouldn't the Gu family have eagerly sought an alliance with him?
Li Ziling's body stiffened.
Chen Jie's face immediately turned cold, "I'll give you a chance to rephrase your words."
Wen Qiang's face darkened, "Chen Jie, don't think that because you've had the upper hand twice, I'm afraid of you! Haven't you inquired? Whose territory is this capital!"
"To put it plainly, I want to reconcile with you because I don't want to make things difficult for you. If I'm unhappy, you're nothing in front of me."
Wen Qiang's subordinate shouted, "Take your dog paws off! You dare to touch a woman Young Master Wen fancies? Are you tired of living?"
"Scram!"
Chen Jie uttered a light command.
"You're courting death!"
The subordinate's face changed, "Do you really think Young Master Wen not getting angry means he's a sickly cat? You're looking for death?"
Ren Youhua's face also changed drastically as she shouted, "Let go of Li Ziling! You beast, kneel and apologize to Young Master Wen at once!"
"Brother Chen Jie, don't take them seriously!" Li Ziling's pretty face paled slightly.
She didn't want Chen Jie to make enemies everywhere as soon as he arrived.
Even more so, she didn't want Chen Jie to be troubled over her matters.
"Li Ziling, don't worry. With me here, no one can bully you."
Without using his immortal cultivation power, Chen Jie could suppress Wen Qiang.
Currently, Chen Jie's martial arts strength was rapidly approaching the realm of Foundation Establishment. In his eyes, Wen Qiang was like an ant.
Not worth mentioning.
Thinking of this, Chen Jie walked towards Wen Qiang, his face cold, and said, "Make your subordinate repeat what he just said."
The immense pressure caused Wen Qiang to feel a tremor.
Wen Qiang was so shocked his tongue almost bit off.
He felt that Chen Jie's current martial arts strength was terrifying.
In front of him, he had an urge like facing the collapse of Mount Tai.
"What do you want to do!" Wen Qiang said with some trepidation.
"How dare you! You truly have the audacity to disrespect Young Master Wen! Young Master Wen spared your life, and you truly think you're something? Die!"
Wen Qiang didn't speak, but a subordinate beside him slapped Chen Jie.
This slap was fierce and ruthless.
Ren Youhua watched with extreme pleasure.
She had disliked this man for a long time, daring to compete for a woman with Young Master Wen. It was perfect that Chen Jie would be killed today, and Li Ziling would give up any hope.
She often heard Li Ziling and Ah Zhu talk about a person named Teacher Chen.
How good Teacher Chen was, how handsome he was, she had heard it until her ears were calloused!
"Slap him to death, slap his face to a pulp, slap him until he can't find his way north!" Ren Youhua shouted.
However, in the next second, Chen Jie raised his hand and easily gripped the man's wrist.
The subordinate's face changed drastically.
As Wen Qiang's confidant, he naturally possessed formidable strength.
His martial arts realm was at the peak of Martial King, just one step away from breaking through.
Yet, when his hand was caught by Chen Jie, he felt as if his vital points were being held, completely unable to move.
"Release your dog paws, and present your face!" Wen Qiang's subordinate was unconvinced and didn't believe Chen Jie would dare to lay a hand on him, so he roared aggressively.
"Is that so? Ask your master if he dares to speak to me like that? You, a dog, are you fit to disrespect me?"
After Chen Jie spoke, he used his other hand to slap the man across the face.
Instantly, after a loud bang, the man's face was shattered, his teeth knocked out, his eyeballs bulged, and bloodshot veins swelled from the corners of his eyes.
Until his death, he couldn't understand how Chen Jie dared to attack him.
He was Young Master Wen's subordinate!
He also couldn't understand why Chen Jie was so strong that one slap had muddled his brain.
"Murder! You truly have the gall to attack Young Master Wen's subordinate! You're finished! In this capital, from now on, there will be no place for you!"
Ren Youhua screamed in disbelief.
However, Chen Jie merely cast a cold glance at her, and she immediately shut her mouth in terror.
Then Chen Jie looked at Wen Qiang.
"Chen Jie, what do you want? A gentleman uses his words, not his hands!"
Feeling the power of Chen Jie's slap, Wen Qiang realized that the current Chen Jie was not someone he could deal with.
Coupled with Chen Jie's ruthlessness, he immediately cowered.
