Being spoken to like that by a mere little girl, Chen Ping was immediately enraged. He rolled up his sleeves and yelled menacingly at Yun Duo, "You brat, what did you say? Fine, I'll slap you to death!"
"what you up to!"
"Chen Ping! Have you no shame?"
Yun Dazheng and Chen Aijun shielded Yun Duo behind them and shouted in unison.
Yun Duo peeked out from behind Yun Dazheng, made a face at Chen Ping, and said in a show of force, "Master Leopard told me personally that from now on, he will be my backer in Qingping County. If you're not afraid of dying, then go ahead and hit me. Let's see if Master Leopard will spare you."
As the saying goes, a person's reputation is like a tree's shadow. To ordinary people, Leopard's reputation is almost like that of the King of Hell, let alone to a small-time hoodlum like Chen Ping.
Therefore, upon hearing Yun Duo's words, even though his first reaction was that they were false, Chen Ping still became suspicious and uncertain. The fierce expression on his face softened considerably, and he instantly became like a paper tiger. However, he was still unwilling to give up, and looked at Yun Duo with a fierce but weak expression, scolding, "You little brat, you're full of lies! It's one thing to fool me, but you even dare to infringe on Leopard Master's name! You simply don't know the immensity of the heavens and the earth! It's only because your Uncle Chen Ping is kind-hearted that I'll just listen to these words, let them go in one ear and out the other, and forget about them as soon as I turn my head. I will never tell anyone else. But if others hear this and it reaches Leopard Master's ears, not only you, but also your grandfather, your grandmother, and even the Yun family who have already severed ties with you, will not fare well!"
"Listen, little girl, you can't say things like that again, or no one can save you!" Judging from his tone and expression, he seemed quite righteous.
But Yun Duo wasn't buying it. She made a face at Chen Ping and continued, "Whether I'm lying or not, you'll know once you try it. How about it? Want to give it a try? I promise I'll plead with Leopard for you and get him to spare your life. How about that? Am I being a good friend?" As she spoke, she shook her little head smugly, looking quite pleased with herself.
The more this happened, the less Chen Ping dared to act rashly. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Hmph, you little girl, you're full of bad ideas. I almost fell for your trick. Since you've brought up Master Leopard, whether it's true or not, if I lay a finger on you, it would be disrespecting Master Leopard. You won't get away with it, and I'll be implicated too."
"Hmph, forget it, I, Chen Ping, am magnanimous and won't hold it against you."
"What if I insist on arguing with you?" Seeing Chen Ping back down, Yun Duo became unconvinced and stepped out from behind Yun Dazheng, speaking with a rather persistent tone.
"Little girl, what do you want to do?" Chen Ping looked at Yun Duo warily and asked with some annoyance.
He paused, then, with a fierce but weak expression, threatened Yun Duo, "Let me tell you, don't think I'm really afraid of you. I'm just too lazy to bother with you, you know? Let me tell you, don't push your luck. If you really piss me off, I don't care about being neighbors or relatives. We'll see each other all the time, and I'll definitely go to Master Leopard and complain about you!"
Chen Aijun wasn't sure if Yun Duo was telling the truth, and he was also a little worried that Chen Ping might complain. So he quickly advised, "Forget it, Yun Duo, let him go. Don't bother with a scoundrel like him."
