Chapter 20 Venting
"Second Miss, something terrible has happened!"
In an elegant boudoir, Bai Ru, the second young lady of the Bai family, sat before a candlestick, looking at account books. Hearing a flustered voice outside, she said unhappily, "What's the matter that you're in such a panic?"
"Second Miss, a thief has broken into the manor."
Bai Ru frowned, put down the account book in her hand, and asked, "Who discovered this?"
"Just now, Li Si and Zhang Chang were found unconscious in the corner of the room. They were knocked out, but they've woken up now. They said a thief wants a maid named Er Ya."
"Er Ya?"
At this moment, a personal maidservant standing nearby seemed to remember something and said, "Miss, before Xiao Hong entered the manor, she was called Er Ya. I heard that she has a cousin who studies martial arts at the Wu family's martial arts school. I guess it's that cousin of hers."
"It was her."
Bai Ru sneered, "Fine, first she seduced the young master, and now she's colluding with thieves, plotting something wicked. Zhang Xiaowu, go and inform Master Wang immediately, and have him arrest them."
She naturally didn't take a young man who had only been learning martial arts at Wu's Martial Arts School for a few months seriously.
"Miss, we have already sent someone over there."
"it is good."
"We've caught them, what should we do?"
"Break the man's leg and hand him over to the authorities. As for Xiao Hong, marry her off to Old Zhang, the coachman. Old Zhang has been a coachman in our Bai family for thirty years, and he's crippled. He needs someone to take care of him."
The maid turned pale with fright and lowered her head, not daring to say another word.
The rickshaw driver, Old Zhang, was over forty years old, ugly, and a drunkard. Marrying someone like that would be worse than death.
After Bai Ru made the arrangements, she muttered to herself, "Mother is just too kind-hearted. In the past few years of her managing the household, the servants have become increasingly unruly. This is a good opportunity to teach them a lesson—"
Before he could finish speaking, they suddenly heard a noise outside the door, and Zhang Xiaowu's trembling voice came through, "Who are you? How dare you cause trouble here? The second young lady of the Bai family is inside."
boom!
A figure smashed the door to pieces, fell to the ground below, and was unconscious.
Then, a cold voice rang out, "We're looking for the Second Miss."
A foot stepped in; it was a young man in black, his face ashen, his eyes sharp as knives, making Bai Ru's heart tremble.
She tried her best to remain calm, but her hands holding the ledger trembled uncontrollably.
"you--"
Snapped.
Chen Qiyuan didn't give her a chance to speak at all, and lashed out with his whip, striking her shoulder.
"ah--"
She screamed in pain.
pop-
Chen Qiyuan cracked the whip, lashing her seven or eight times in a row, leaving her skin torn and bleeding.
Bai Ru had never suffered like this before. She rolled on the ground in pain, crying out frantically, "Stop hitting me..."
"Stop... I'm going to kill you—"
"Please...stop hitting me..."
"I was wrong... Waaah..."
Chen Qiyuan finally felt relieved and looked at Wang Erya behind him, "Do you want to whip her a few times too?"
Wang Erya was still dreaming at this moment.
Chen Qiyuan forcibly dragged her to the Second Miss's courtyard, where she quickly and easily knocked down the usually imposing guards and servants.
They barged into the second young lady's boudoir and whipped her.
This feels like a dream.
When did my cousin become so amazing?
Upon hearing his words, Wang Erya subconsciously shook her head.
Although she hated the second young lady to the core, seeing the usually aloof second young lady being beaten and crying for mercy, she felt a little sorry for her.
She whispered, "Never mind, let's go quickly."
She was even more worried that Master Wang, who was at the Transformation Realm, would arrive at the Bai residence, at which point she wouldn't be able to escape.
In her opinion, no matter how skilled her cousin was, he had only trained for three months. How could he compare to those martial artists who had trained for decades?
……
Not far away, in another courtyard, a banquet was being held, with people toasting and drinking, creating a lively atmosphere.
The host was Bai Kewen, the eldest son of the Bai family, who was entertaining Liu Shijie. Master Wang was also present.
Liu Shijie flattered, "Senior Wang has been famous for over a decade, and I have long admired you. Your Iron Arm Divine Fist is rarely matched in Nan'an City."
Master Wang had a smug look on his face as he stroked his beard and said, "It's all thanks to my friends' kindness. With my skills, I wouldn't last more than a few moves against a master of the Blood Exchange Realm."
"You're too modest, senior."
Master Wang sized him up and said, "Judging from your stance, it seems you learned it at the Wu Family Martial Arts School?"
Liu Shijie said with admiration, "Your insight is truly remarkable."
Master Wang recounted an incident: "I heard that last night, the Guo family's son stormed into the Wu family martial arts school. With a steward from the Ironclad Sect as witness, they arranged five matches, and he was confident of victory. However, a martial arts master under twenty years old suddenly appeared from the Wu family martial arts school and defeated Guo Yongsheng in a single move. Do you know this young expert?"
This is the biggest news in Nan'an City today, and Liu Shijie has naturally heard about it. He smiled wryly and said, "To be honest, I didn't know that the Wu Family Martial Arts School had such a master of the Transformation Realm. When I first heard about it, I couldn't believe it."
"It seems that Master Wu was one step ahead, secretly taking in such a young apprentice. This caused Guo Yongchang to suffer a great loss."
"Yes, by the way, senior, have you heard what that person's name is?"
"It seems his surname is Chen, and his name is Chen Qi—"
Just then, a cry of alarm came from outside: "It's terrible, Master Wang! A thief has broken into the mansion and has already entered the Second Miss's courtyard."
"What?"
Master Wang's face changed color. He had been invited by the Bai family, and his friends in the underworld all knew that someone dared to cause trouble here. How could he not be furious?
He flashed out of the courtyard.
"Let's go take a look."
Liu Shijie followed closely behind, eager to witness Master Wang's Iron Arm Divine Fist.
A moment later, they arrived at the second young lady's courtyard.
Several servants were lying outside, and they all looked to be seriously injured.
From inside the courtyard came Master Wang's angry voice, "You little thief, release the second young lady!"
Liu Shijie rushed into the courtyard and looked into the house. He saw that the room was in a mess. The arrogant second young lady of the Bai family was lying on the ground with bloodstains all over her clothes, which were unrecognizable.
What surprised him most was the person standing in the room.
Chen Qiyuan?
Is he the petty thief?
Liu Shijie paused, but quickly regained his composure. Seeing the scene in the room, he had a pretty good idea of what had happened.
He felt a pang of regret; Chen Qiyuan was quite talented, but he turned out to be a brainless idiot.
What kind of place is the Bai family? How could someone who has just broken through to the Ming Jin realm possibly get past them?
Bai Ru has been tortured into this terrible state; it would be strange if he didn't tear him to pieces.
"Master Wang... save me..."
Lying on the ground, barely breathing, Bai Ru reached out her hand to him as if she had seen a savior.
"Hehe, here you go."
Chen Qiyuan sneered and kicked Bai Ru out of the courtyard.
Master Wang rushed forward and caught her. While she was in the air, he pushed her away, and she floated lightly towards a maidservant beside him.
The entire set of movements was fluid and seamless.
"You little brat, you're asking for it!"
He roared and pounced on Chen Qiyuan like a giant eagle.
……
Liu Shijie saw that Chen Qiyuan seemed to be frozen in fear, not moving at all, until the fist was above his head, then he hurriedly raised his hand.
It was nothing but a desperate struggle—
With a bang.
The two fists collided, and Master Wang was sent flying backward.
"Um?"
Liu Shijie rubbed his eyes and looked again, seeing Master Wang lying on the ground, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, his face filled with horror. A look of bewilderment flashed across his face from the shock.
What happened?
