The other elderly man following behind him was slightly thin, but his temples were bulging and his eyes were sharp as snakes; he was clearly also a top-notch internal martial arts master.
They were acting on the Dragon King's orders to find their missing young master. Based on the last signal, they located this place.
But the moment they burst in, they were met with a scene that horrified them—
Their young master, Ye Chen, lay on the ground like a lump of mud, his clothes disheveled, laughing maniacally as if he were insane.
Meanwhile, the young master's fiancée, Feng Lingyi, the president of the Phoenix Perch Society, was also disheveled and hiding in a panic behind a strange man. Although the man's expression was calm, his clothes were also somewhat messy.
The entire room was filled with a nauseating atmosphere that was both ambiguous and eerie.
Shi Wei's head buzzed, and a rush of blood shot to the top of his head!
This is an utter disgrace! An unprecedented disgrace since the establishment of the Dragon King Palace! The young master of the Dragon King Palace, the future master, has been so humiliated on his own territory!
"Young Master!" Another elder, Elder Qian, exclaimed in surprise. He disregarded everything else and rushed forward to help Ye Chen up from the ground.
Shi Wei's sharp, razor-sharp gaze was fixed on Qin Xiao, his voice strained as if squeezed out from between his teeth, each word filled with overwhelming killing intent and rage.
"Who are you!"
Just as Elder Qian's hand touched Ye Chen's shoulder, Ye Chen suddenly turned over and dodged his help.
"Don't touch me!" Ye Chen's voice was sharp and distorted. He raised his head, his dark eyes looking at Elder Qian in front of him, and suddenly grinned, "Uncle Qian... you're here too? To see me make a fool of myself? Look, am I pathetic? Useless?"
Elder Qian was so startled by his appearance that he took a half step back, speechless for a moment: "Young Master, you..."
"I'm fine! I've never been this fine!" Ye Chen interrupted him with a maniacal laugh, spreading his arms wide and greedily inhaling the stalemate of awkwardness and anger in the air. "Your anger... your pity... are all nourishment for me! Hahahaha!"
Seeing this, Shi Wei's heart clenched painfully. He understood; the young master hadn't just been humiliated, his mind... seemed to have suffered a loss as well!
This humiliation, this blow, is heavier than it can bear!
Shi Wei's anger and murderous intent reached their peak at this moment. All the blame, all the sources, pointed to the man who still stood there calmly, protecting Feng Lingyi behind him.
Qin Xiao completely ignored the two glares that seemed to want to tear him to pieces. He even had the leisure to turn his head and whisper to Feng Lingyi, who was trembling like a leaf in his arms, "It seems that your 'return gift' came with two surprise blind boxes."
This sarcastic remark startled Feng Lingyi, and an absurd sense of calm arose within the extreme fear in her heart.
Qin Xiao ignored Shi Wei's questioning and instead spoke leisurely, his voice not loud but clearly reaching everyone's ears: "You two have arrived just in time, saving me from having to call an ambulance again. Your young master seems to have gone mad while practicing his martial arts and has turned himself into this state. I was just a kind-hearted citizen passing by and helped to control the situation."
"You're talking nonsense!" Shi Wei roared, his hair and beard standing on end. "Do you think I'm blind? The young master and Miss Feng are disheveled, and you dare say it has nothing to do with you!"
"Oh? This?" Qin Xiao's tone was as calm as if he were stating a fact. "Miss Feng saw that Young Master Ye was practicing hard and wanted to dance for him to cheer him up, but Young Master Ye suddenly went berserk, and I had no choice but to stop him. As for the clothes being a little messy... maybe the scene was a bit intense just now."
He paused, glanced at Ye Chen who was still chuckling to himself on the ground, then looked at the furious Shi Wei, a playful smile curving his lips.
"However, speaking of which, the cultivation methods of your Dragon King Palace are truly unique. This is the first time I've ever seen a cultivation method that requires others to cheer you on in order to break through. It's just a bit... exhausting for the audience."
"You're asking for it!"
Shi Wei could no longer endure this humiliating cat-and-mouse game. As a guardian elder, he had never suffered such an unbearable disgrace! Every word the other party uttered was trampling cruelly on his pride as a high-ranking member of the Dragon King Palace!
He roared, his aura surging, and his figure blurred as he, like an enraged lion, unleashed a powerful punch aimed at Qin Xiao's face! This punch was incredibly strong, the wind howling, and even the air itself was compressed, producing a sharp, explosive sound!
He wanted to smash this arrogant fool in front of him, along with his damned mouth, into a bloody pulp!
