Upon hearing this, Ji Fengming and Hei Xiao were both stunned: When did he become so superstitious?
They're not from prestigious families, yet they insist on not drinking during the day.
With a slight chuckle and a shake of his head, Black Owl downed his drink in one gulp, realizing he'd been acting a bit strangely lately.
Ji Fengming then came to her senses and continued to warmly serve Hei Xiao wine and dishes.
The two were enjoying their meal when a sarcastic voice suddenly came from the second-floor stairwell: "Oh, isn't this Doctor Xiao? I heard in Tongyou that Doctor Xiao went to meet with friends, so it turns out he went back to the capital ahead of us."
The two looked up and recognized each other as acquaintances.
It was Chen Xiaoyi, the second son of the Duke of Chen, who came to the restaurant with his group of followers.
Originally, the group had no prior interaction or grudges.
But when Chen Xiao saw the black owl, he remembered the mess he had made in the secluded forest. Knowing that Doctor Xiao was the doctor who treated the Ninth Prince, he was very unhappy and deliberately came to cause trouble.
Black Owl didn't bother with a spoiled brat like Chen Xiaoyi who relied on his family's power, and didn't even lift his eyelids.
Ji Fengming didn't take this person seriously at all. He ate his food and drank his wine as usual, completely ignoring Chen Xiaoyi and the others.
Even when it came to picking a fight, Chen Xiaoyi had never been looked down upon like this before, and he was immediately enraged.
It was one thing for the Ninth Prince to put on airs in front of the Duke of Chen's mansion, but at least they had managed to win a few battles.
Who are these two nobodys? How dare they ignore Young Master Chen?
Unfortunately, since they had never interacted, they couldn't find any flaws in each other's arguments.
Chen Xiao glanced at Hei Xiao's handsome face, then at Ji Fengming, whose dashing figure was still undeniable despite the mask, and said in a lewd tone, "Why isn't Doctor Xiao wearing that red dress today? This guard uniform is a real waste of Doctor Xiao's stunning face. Is there someone who doesn't know how to appreciate beauty?"
"roll!"
"Bang!"
The black owl's angry roar and the loud thud of Chen Xiao being suddenly knocked away and falling to the ground rang out almost simultaneously.
Ji Fengming leaped forward and stomped on Chen Xiaoyi's chest, forcefully pushing Chen Xiaoyi back down as he was trying to get up.
"You dare lay a hand on me? Do you know who I am?" Chen Xiaoyi's mouth was bleeding. He was kicked to the ground in front of everyone and couldn't get up. He was angry, ashamed and annoyed.
"Just a dog barking everywhere without a leash. Someone as lowly as you is too much for my Eastern Dragon Gate to bother killing, it's too dirty for us. But if you insist on courting death, this young master doesn't mind killing a dog occasionally to relieve your boredom," Ji Fengming said contemptuously and arrogantly.
"Eastern Dragon Gate! The number one assassin organization in the martial arts world!" Those present who had heard of the Eastern Dragon Gate exclaimed in surprise.
"He is the young master of the East Dragon Gate who once massacred an entire city! My God, he is a god of death!" Another exclamation rang out.
"My goodness, this second young master of the Chen family really knows how to pick people to cause trouble!"
"That's right. People in the martial arts world don't care about the imperial court. If you offend them, even an imperial edict won't help."
Listening to the chaotic discussions around him, Chen Xiaoyi was utterly exasperated:
Holy crap, I must have forgotten to check the almanac before I left home. Who the hell knew that Doctor Xiao would be on good terms with the young master of the Eastern Dragon Gate!
If he had known earlier, he would have been bored out of his mind and wouldn't have bothered to gossip about the young master of the East Dragon Gate.
"Apologize, or die?" Ji Fengming said coldly, stepping on Chen Xiaoyi.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know you were the young master of the East Dragon Gate. I was blind to your greatness." Chen Xiaoyi was quite straightforward, decisively throwing his face and integrity to the winds.
