Chapter 683 (2/2)

“Little jerk, do you have proof?” asked Coldblood Five, her eyes sweeping across Xin Ying and Sir Ximen. While there was something off, she couldn’t really tell what exactly was wrong.

“Of course, I was sure since the beginning!” said Ye Lang, nodded.

“?!”

After he spoke, Xin Ying and Sir Ximen were shocked. They did not think anything they did would be suspicious.

They were so careful because they feared being exposed! Why?

Actually, they didn’t know that their caution led to the problem!

“Why are you so sure?” asked Coldblood Five.

“First, when I hit him, those people were very anxious, even more anxious than when I was about to hit Sir Liu!” said Ye Lang, pointing at Sir Ximen.

After his reminder, Coldblood Five recalled that this was true. When he wanted to hit Sir Liu, these people weren’t as anxious but when he was about to hit Sir Ximen, some of them had already rushed over.

“That is because you’re hurting our customer. It’s fine if you hurt one of us, Wanhua Building will deal with it but if you hurt other people, the problem becomes more complicated!” Xin Ying replied calmly.

It made sense, it was a common answer. Some shops thought their own reputation was more valuable than their own safety. Of course, some realised that Ye Lang could be right.

“Alright, that makes sense but after that? Sir Ximen never showed any reaction. This is a problem, I believe he’s hiding something,” said Ye Lang, looking at Sir Ximen.

“What? I didn’t react? What reaction do you want me to have? Do I really have to react whenever someone spreads false rumours about me? I did not respond because you’re not worth my attention,” scoffed Sir Ximen with contempt.

Yeah, why did he have to react? It’s not even the truth, so let them talk!

That’s right. Many people agreed. Even if someone else insulted them, they did not have to respond either. Responding to people like that just meant more trouble.

With his position in the Ximen clan, he did not need to care about a small, rude boy like that. He did not need to respond.

“Is that so? I hurt you and yet, you did not react at all. Are you really THAT even-tempered?” asked Ye Lang, stunned. “Then I should continue hitting you, and you’ll be fine with it?”

“!!”

AT this moment, everyone realised that Ye Lang’s response meant this, not about the ‘rumours’.

There was indeed a problem!

There were even-tempered people in the four major clans. However, although Sir Ximen was quiet, he wasn’t the kind who wouldn’t retaliate after getting hit. Not just Ye Lang, a savage- he might even hit back if the emperor hit him.

Coldblood Five now realised what was so wrong. According to reports, Sir Ximen was a cold tiger. He was calm but still a tiger-- no one can touch a tiger without its permission.
