182 Chaos Demon (1/2)

Yao Zhixing's name was the equivalent to the Chaos Demon in San Lin City. He had his own way of doing things. When he was six, he yanked off the pants of the boys who dared bully his little sister and kicked the girls out of the house. He did not care about their family background, their age, or their gender; as long as they made him unhappy, he would make sure the unhappiness was repaid in kind. Therefore, there was a saying among the high society at San Lin City—Even if you mess with the police or the mafia, do not mess with Yao Zhixing.

If they offended someone else, they might have been able to find a mutual friend to help liaise the situation, but if they offended Yao Zhixing, most of the time, it would end up in acts of violence.

This person made me uncomfortable, but you want me to be patient. In other words, you want me to surrender my face to lift up your face. Since you're not giving me face, I won't give you face. Or less politely, go to hell.

”…Since you've already stated your stance, what is there to worry about?” Ye Shuang stared at Yao Zhixing silently for about ten seconds before sighing. ”I think the combined power of all these young masters and young ladies is still less than you alone.”

Basically, with Yao Zhixing standing in her corner, Ye Shuang was practically wearing a sign that read 'Scary hound inside, please be careful.' Unless they really wanted to die, no one would challenge Ye Shuang. Yao Zhixing scratched his chin to think about it before agreeing with a nod. ”Yes, you have a point.”

That was not a compliment!

Anthony had already mixed joyfully with the people in the hot spring. He had always been a player and could separate his personal life from official business. The invited young people initially thought Anthony might be hard to approach, but after some time, they realized that was untrue.

Therefore, a gang of young people soon surrounded Anthony. They chatted happily, and even Little Brother Ye was pulled into their fold. If he knew what they were talking about, he would chime in with some words, but if he did not, he would focus on eating. There was no awkwardness. Everyone thought this young man was quite friendly and easy-going, so they paid some attention to him, and Little Brother Ye responded in kind.

Yao Zhixing observed coldly from the sideline and commented, ”Your little brother is not bad.”

”He's so so,” Ye Shuang replied humbly. This was something that was trained at home. If Little Brother Ye was the kind of young man that had to have the spotlight and would complain if he was not the center of attention, he would have wilted and died at home.

There were quite a number of people that did not go into the spring. There was a barbeque stand and buffet. People were playing mahjong, eating, waiting for the fireworks. Since there was no set schedule, people could do whatever they wanted.

The people who wanted to take a dip in the spring, naturally, would separate according to gender, but there were no set rules. If a pool was all women and a man wanted to join them, said man had to be shameless enough to do so. Furthermore, the people there were all people of a certain standing. If someone really acted out of line, they might cause offense to others.

Occasionally, there would be people who came over to greet Yao Zhixing. Some asked him to come join them in the pool or at the mahjong table, but he rejected all of them. He yawned and lifted his head to the sky, waiting for the fireworks to start. Due to this, Ye Shuang, who stayed beside Yao Zhixing, naturally was given a heavy focus.

”That's Brother Yao's girlfriend.” Facing everyone's confusion, the few minions who hung around Yao Zhixing's racer team the longest 'explained' it to everyone. Naturally, a few party-goers believed them.

”Sister Shuang might not come from a famous family, but she has the talent and has friends in both the light and the dark. If you don't believe me, why don't you go to Fei He Street and ask around who the heroine that beat up the group of car thieves was? Nowadays, if they see Sister Shuang coming down the street, they run the other way. Also, the elders at the Go association call Sister Shuang to go play with them several times in a week.”

The situation at the Go association could be explained quite easily—there were the qualification matches at the end of the year. She was not that worried, but other people were worried on her behalf. Since she had shown up their many times, it was normal for people to know about it, and the upper society would give face to the arts community.

Fei He Street was the location where Ye Shuang helped Yao Zhixing take down the gang of car thieves. She was indeed not the one who cleared the thieves' hideout; any of the young masters would be able to do, and the police would give Yao Zhixing face. However, Ye Shuang was indeed the one who was made famous by that war. After all, it was not common for a weak-looking girl to take down more than ten muscular men in under ten seconds. Anyone would share a story like that.

The people who spread the rumors enjoyed the look of surprise and awe that were tossed their way by the people who heard the rumors. It was thus that the rumors were spread further and further. Even when Little Brother Ye heard it, he scratched his head and said, ”When did my sister become that savage‽”
