Huai'an's previously dejected expression instantly brightened, and he sneered triumphantly: "I am the most valued talent in the Six Sects. Even the sect leader treats me with deference. Ziyi, you are nothing but the lowest-ranking bodyguard, yet you dare to challenge me. Today, I will show you who is in charge!"

That tone immediately gave the impression that the man who had arrived was the leader of the Sixth Gate.

Under the spotlight, the elder brother from Huai'an approached, and he gave off a cold and aloof vibe.

Huai'an called out, "Brother, I'm here."

His elder brother is Mu Feng, a very powerful figure in the Six Gates. He has done many great things for the country and is their role model.

Moreover, he is very loyal to his brothers in the sect and will definitely help him cripple Ziyi.

Zi Yi remained unmoved, maintaining his initial indifference. When Mu Feng appeared, he merely glanced at him, a glance so indifferent that he barely even looked at him. Perhaps, here, only Tang Yaoyao could catch his eye.

Mu Feng looked up, and their eyes met.

Mu Feng was slightly taken aback, as if his eyes were burning. He immediately lowered his brows, for to look at him again would be an act of blasphemy and disrespect.

He nodded and walked towards him, clasping his hands in a gesture of utmost respect: "Sect Master."

Zhao Yusheng: "..."

Xu Fenglai: "..."

Jiang Mi felt a wave of dizziness and almost fainted.

Huai'an's excited expression froze instantly. Seeing Mu Feng lower his head even further, he was completely petrified, muttering, "How is this possible? How could this be..."

Chen Zhu's old face froze, extremely embarrassed, as if his face had been pressed to the ground and rubbed hard.

Not only the two of them, but even Tang Yaoyao was slightly stunned, and her usually carefree smile finally showed a bit more seriousness.

She always knew that Zi Yi's true identity was not just that of a bodyguard, but she never expected that he would be the leader of the Six Gates.

Mu Feng's young yet stern face showed only respect, a deep-seated admiration. He then asked, "I received a call from Huai'an, but I didn't expect the sect leader to be here as well. I saw that he was seriously injured. I wonder if the matter has been resolved?"

Huai'an was still in a sleepwalking state, thinking that the pain was too great and that he was hallucinating. He still refused to believe that the bodyguard next to an actor was actually the famous sect leader.

"It's not resolved," Zi Yi said.

Huai'an nodded again: "No need for the sect leader to take action personally. Leave it to me whoever seriously injured Huai'an."

He didn't realize that Huai'an and the sect leader were now on opposite sides. He just thought that Huai'an had gotten into trouble and the sect leader happened to be passing by and was helping him.

However……

"It's me."

Mu Feng raised his head, looking at him in shock. Seeing his cold expression, he suddenly understood: "Has Huai'an offended the sect leader?"

Zi Yi slowly raised his straight and powerful right hand, his well-defined fingers lowering the sleeve and then slowly buttoning it up. After both sleeves were down, he said, "He did bad things outside using the Six Gates, but we only cut off his two hands. Now, it's up to you."

The voice sounded calm, but the ending was cold, cruel, and ruthless.

Just two hands were broken?

So what's next?

You don't need to understand; there are rules within the sect. Just know that things don't end well in Huai'an.

Huai'an suddenly realized the truth of his boastful words.

The person he despised was the sect leader.

Only the sect leader could have beaten him into this state without him even realizing it.

My soul felt as if it had been struck a heavy blow; it was a fear that came from the depths of my heart.

Everyone knows that the Sixth Gate Master is extremely skilled at dealing with vicious criminals. Who in this world dares not to fear him?

He actually dared to offend the sect leader...

Wu no longer had his previous arrogant attitude. He knelt down and kept kowtowing, begging for mercy: "Sect Master, I was wrong. I was blind to your greatness. I'm so sorry."

Huai'an initially threatened to make Ziyi kneel down and beg for mercy, but so quickly, he himself knelt there trembling, his eyes filled with fear.

This unexpected reversal stunned everyone.

This is beyond description; it can't be described as simply shocking.

Huai'an still has the nerve to say he's the most trusted, but he doesn't even know the sect leader. The sect leader can take him down with a flick of his finger. That's the difference between people.

Su Mei was very excited: "Brother Yao, Brother Yao, pinch me quickly, am I dreaming?"

The bodyguard was actually the sect leader.

Tang Yaoyao was in a good mood and reached out to pinch her waist.

Su Mei was almost moved to tears: "Ouch, ouch, ouch! It's not a dream, it's not!"

Tang Yaoyao withdrew her hand, gently blew a breath onto her fingertips, and said in a languid voice, "Otherwise, what do you think?"

"Brother Yao, aren't you excited at all? You probably don't even know what the Six Gates is? Let me explain. It's a very powerful organization, and everyone in it has amazing skills—hackers, pharmacists, researchers, all sorts of people..."

Su Mei choked up a little as she spoke, her gaze towards Zi Yi filled with even more admiration. She then finished in one breath, "And they only obey the six sect leaders, while the esteemed sect leader, the representative of justice, is actually your bodyguard! No honor can compare to that!!!"

So how could someone with such a strong sense of justice possibly distort the truth?

Everyone knew what kind of existence the Sixth Gate Master was, but Su Mei repeated it at this moment, and considering the events that were happening now, it made everyone's sense of awe even stronger.

Yes, is it really necessary for someone like him to bully a minor celebrity like Jiang Mi?

Immediately, everyone looked at Jiang Mi.

Jiang Mi's eyes darted around, her hands clasped together. She only wanted to ruin Tang Yaoyao's reputation, but she never imagined that it would involve such a powerful figure.

She clenched her fists tightly, trying to find a sense of security, but no one could give her that.

His shoulders were trembling uncontrollably, his lips were pale, and he dared not speak.

Xu Nuan gradually withdrew her hand from her back, her watery eyes filled with disbelief and even more reluctance. Finally, she let out a long sigh and asked gently, "What exactly happened? Honey, please tell me."

"I, I, I..."

She was so frightened that she couldn't utter a complete sentence.

Chen Zhu's face also turned pale. Could it really be that Jiang Mi orchestrated this all along?

Even if it is, so what?

Things had already progressed to this point, and he could not back down; he could only move forward. He was afraid of the sect leader's authority, but he was even more afraid of falling into ruin.

Regardless, we have to make this last stand: "This is an entertainment industry matter. You almost killed Jiang Mi. Did you think you could escape punishment just because you have a good relationship with the sect leader? I am a director and the chairman of a film and television company. From the perspective of the entertainment industry, I believe you must retire from the industry to give Jiang Mi justice."

After saying that, he added fearlessly, "The sect leader is your bodyguard, and it's understandable that he's protecting you, but you can't distort the truth. It's a fact that Jiang Mi was injured."
