Chapter 325 - Mengxi (1/2)
”Sir Chengban, please calm down!” the staff of the Redstone Restaurant desperately tried to appease the young man. ”Someone like that is not worth getting angry about!”
Chengban's earlier punch on Bocheng had already damaged their restaurant and alarmed every customer on this level.
If a fight broke out on top of that, who knew how much worse the situation would become?
”Stop bothering me, I will pay for all the damages later!” Chengban waved him away in irritation.
The helpless staff could only take a step back, fearing that he might end up being implicated as well if he continued to pester Chengban.
All this while, Chengban's eyes had remained locked onto Lu Tianzi, as well as Nanlan Qianxue who was hiding behind him ever so naturally.
So this was the reason why she rejected me…
”It would do you good to stop resisting. Otherwise, don't blame me if I accidentally go too far!” Chengban sneered.
”Leave first,” Lu Tianzi sent a voice conveyance to Nanlan Qianxue. ”I will be right behind.”
”Be careful,” Nanlan Qianxue nodded before turning to leave.
”Don't even think of it!” Chengban yelled in rage, and he released his Origin Force straight towards Lu Tianzi.
This time, he no longer held back.
After the previous exchange, he felt like his ego had been bruised a little. Because of that, he was determined to utterly crush Lu Tianzi as payback!
Lu Tianzi's face warped in horror as he saw the sheer magnitude of Chengban's Origin Force. He simply stood there blankly, not even defending himself with his own Origin Force.
The people watching the situation gasped in shock.
It seemed like Lu Tianzi had frozen up from witnessing the might of his opponent, no longer able to put up even an ounce of defence. At this rate, he could end up being severely injured!
However, right before Chengban's Origin Force connected, another surge of Origin Force came from the side, clashing directly against Chengban's.
No moves were exchanged, but just the collision of the two surges of Origin Force was enough to stir up a whirlwind of energy within the restaurant, tearing the curtains and rattling the walls.
Thankfully, everyone dining there was a martial artist, and they were able to defend themselves from the aftershock of the impact to a certain degree.
Otherwise, they could easily have been injured from that!
”What is the meaning of this?” Chengban's cold voice sounded out before the storm of energy had even died down.
When the storm of energy finally dissipated, everyone present immediately looked in the direction from which the other surge of Origin Force had originated.
They were all curious as to who was actually daring enough to go against Chengban of the Divine Storm Sect, and their answers were answered immediately.
There stood a young lady with a high ponytail that reached down to her back. She was definitely a beautiful lady, but her looks were the last thing on everyone's mind right now.
After all, everyone who had been in Divine Storm City for long enough would surely know of her identity.
Divine Storm Sect core disciple – Mengxi!
On top of that, she was even a Sixth Cycle Origin Core realm martial artist, one boundary above Chengban!
”Are you intending to gang up with outsiders against your own sect members?” Chengban glared at the young lady. ”If that's the case, I will make sure to report this matter to the elders!”
”I am actually doing you a favour this time, but sure, go ahead and report the matter to the elders,” Mengxi replied while nonchalantly standing up from her seat. ”And when the elders ask the reason for my actions, I will just let them know that their beloved Chengban is still trying to force himself on girls even though everyone has been told to stay out of trouble until the wedding is over.”
Beside her, the plates on her table were still resting neatly despite the storm of energy earlier. In fact, her female companion was even taking her time to savour the food, not showing the slightest bit of worry about Mengxi whatsoever.
”Tch!” Chengban clicked his tongue in irritation. ”Let's go!”
He stomped towards the exit with his two companions hurrying after him.
Lu Tianzi might have told Nanlan Qianxue to leave first earlier, but she had remained after seeing that the situation had changed.
Seeing that Chengban was walking towards them, Lu Tianzi and Nanlan Qianxue cautiously stepped aside to open up the way.
But Chengban did not just walk past them.
Just as he was about to pass them, Chengban stopped in his tracks and glared at Nanlan Qianxue who was standing safely behind Lu Tianzi.
”Damn bitch, you will regret not listening to me today,” Chengban sneered. ”Believe me, I will make you mine no matter what. Since you don't want to take the easy way out, I shall not give you a status either. I will make you a lowly servant, keeping you around purely to satisfy my physical needs!”
Nanlan Qianxue frowned in disgust, while Lu Tianzi gave this Chengban another lookover.
Who would have thought that a core disciple of the Divine Storm Sect, one who looked as suave and decent as Chengban, would actually be capable of spouting such crude words?
However, Lu Tianzi did not retort.
No matter what, this was still the territory of the Divine Storm Sect.
Without any proper understanding or knowledge of the sect, going against a core disciple could end up being extremely disadvantageous to them.
It was one thing if Chengban had acted on his words.
But since he was just making empty threats for now, Lu Tianzi decided to just let it slide.
That was also the reason why he had gladly accepted the aid from Mengxi earlier, even going as far as acting weak and helpless just to lower everyone's wariness towards him.
