Chapter 20

"Are you here to exchange the three-hundred-year-old ginseng?" Qing Xiangming felt as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world and couldn't help but ask again, suspecting that his ears had deceived him! The notorious scoundrel of Yaocheng, whom he hated to the core, actually came to him to talk about an exchange! Was this a joke?

"Of course!" Ye Chu seemed to ignore the ridicule from the crowd, smiling as he said to Qing Xiangming, "As long as you are willing to exchange, I can offer something of equal value to your three-hundred-year-old ginseng!"

Ye Chu had no money, but he did have some good things besides gold coins, such as pills condensed from evil energy, which were indeed valuable!

"Funny! Truly funny!" Qing Xiangming burst out laughing, "If you break both your legs, I might consider it!"

Ye Chu still stood there calmly, a lazy smile on his face: "If you have the ability, come and break them yourself!"

"Wow..."

The hall was in an uproar, and everyone's eyes suddenly focused on Ye Chu. Was he challenging Qing Xiangming? A waste of talent actually challenging the talented youth of Yaocheng! Truly overestimating himself!

Ye Chao also looked at Ye Chu, seeing him stand there with neither humility nor arrogance, his eyes filled with confusion. Without the protection of the Ye family's heir status, what gave him the audacity to be so arrogant?

Su Rong's beautiful eyes fixed on Ye Chu! Despite being glared at by so many people, Ye Chu still maintained a lazy and carefree demeanor! It gave the impression that he was completely disdainful of Qing Xiangming and his group! Su Rong couldn't quite figure it out; Ye Chu had indeed changed since his return, but that didn't mean he could confront Qing Xiangming head-on!

"I'll make it happen for you!" Qing Xiangming was furious. How dare he be so arrogant on his territory, putting him in such a position.

Just as he was about to make a move, several people around him held back Qing Xiangming: "Brother Qing! Such a scoundrel, how can he dirty your hands? Leave it to us!"

Several people surrounded Ye Chu, their eyes filled with cold and fierce light. Scoundrels should be punished by everyone, and today was a good day to teach him a lesson!

Seeing Ye Chu surrounded by the crowd, Liang Shan was so anxious that he stomped his feet. But he couldn't help Ye Chu; although he had been practicing for the past three years, his achievements were not ideal!

"Ye Chu! Today I'll tell you! Yaocheng is not a place for you to step into!" The leader of the group, a young man, glared at Ye Chu, rolled up his sleeves, and was about to punch him.

"Wait!" Seeing that they were about to attack, Ye Chu quickly waved to stop them.

"Scared now? But it's too late! Today you must leave here in a horizontal position!" They sneered, their eyes filled with disdain.

"Not out of fear!" Ye Chu shook his head, "I'm just used to being low-key and don't like violence! So, let's skip the physical stuff. In the new era, we should be civilized and set new trends! Brutality is not something we should do!"

"Ha! As a scoundrel, you still have the nerve to talk about civilization!" The one preparing to attack laughed, finding it the biggest joke, "Brothers! Vent your grievances and seek revenge! It's rare to have a chance to deal with a scoundrel, don't miss it!"

"Are you sure you want to attack?" Ye Chu said helplessly, "Isn't being low-key better?"

But these people didn't care about Ye Chu and started to punch him.

Seeing this scene, Ye Chao's expression was complex. He clenched his fists but eventually relaxed them. This person absolutely couldn't be saved; if he made a move, it would mean acknowledging that Ye Chu was still a member of the Ye family. All the efforts of his grandfather would be in vain, and the Imperial Ye family would again suppress the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, making the Ye family the public enemy of Yaocheng!

A group of people punched at Ye Chu, and everyone couldn't help but get excited, as if they could already hear Ye Chu's screams.

As they expected, they did hear screams, but they weren't Ye Chu's!

The scene in front of them made Liang Shan's eyes widen in disbelief. The young men who had just punched at Ye Chu were all flying out, crashing into tables, shattering the banquet tables in the hall.

In the center, Ye Chu, with a lazy smile, sent each punch flying, sending a young man flying with each strike. Ye Chu was like a fierce tiger, while they were like a flock of sheep. Each light and casual strike was like throwing stones, and one by one, they were thrown out by him!

This scene was beyond everyone's expectations, including Su Rong's. Although Su Rong knew that Ye Chu was no longer weak, seeing him so strong was still a shock. She couldn't help but cover her rosy mouth with her hand. The contrast was too great; in her memory, Ye Chu should only be capable of mischief and flirting with women, but now...

The strong attack made the group of people who were about to deal with Ye Chu retreat in panic, their faces filled with fear. Some were so frightened that they muttered incoherently, "Impossible! Impossible!"

As they retreated in fear, Ye Chu moved forward, slapping them one by one. The sound of slaps echoed, and he directly knocked down a group of people: "What's wrong with throwing you into a latrine? What's wrong with peeking at your sister while she bathes? What's wrong with destroying your house... I only did these things because I respected you, to add some fun to your lives, so you wouldn't be bored!"

These people wanted to cry and couldn't help but curse in their hearts: Can you please not respect us? Can we not have fun? Can we like being bored?

Slap after slap, he finally scared them. They begged continuously: "Let us go! We won't fight anymore! Ye Chu, you like being low-key, right? Can you be low-key?"

These young masters were like flowers in a greenhouse; they couldn't withstand Ye Chu's slaps. They knelt on the ground, begging for mercy, tears and snot streaming down their faces, extremely frightened!

"Being low-key was in the past; now I prefer being wild!" Ye Chu said seriously to the group, "Either low-key or wild! I have my attitude!"

Zhang Su'er, who was always carefree, couldn't help but laugh at this, thinking it was quite a powerful statement!

"Stop!" Qing Xiangming didn't expect this situation and stepped in front of Ye Chu.

After slapping a person next to him, Ye Chu clapped his hands, as if nothing had happened, and smiled at Qing Xiangming: "Can we talk about the exchange now?"

"Ye Chu! You really make me look at you differently!" Qing Xiangming stared at Ye Chu, realizing that he must have practiced hard over the past three years to be able to easily slap these people, "However, today you disrupted my brother's birthday banquet, which is a more serious offense!"

Seeing Qing Xiangming make a move, the group who had just been slapped by Ye Chu shouted: "Brother Qing! Will you take revenge for us?"

"Break his legs!"

"Cut off his hands!"

"Don't let him leave alive!"

"..."

The group shouted, hating Ye Chu to the extreme.

"Do you really want to make a move?" Ye Chu looked at Qing Xiangming, "Aren't you afraid of following in their footsteps? You are different from them; you are a respected and famous person. If you, a scoundrel, also get slapped by me, you'll lose face!"

Before Qing Xiangming could speak, someone shouted: "What are you? Brother Qing Xiangming can easily deal with you!"

"Right! Who are you scaring? Brother, quickly deal with him!"

"Brother Qing is about to enter the top ten talented youths of Yaocheng. What are you, a scoundrel?"

"..."

Liang Shan, seeing Qing Xiangming standing opposite Ye Chu, felt his heart race. Qing Xiangming had reached the True Fire Realm, sixth level, which was terrifying! Although Ye Chu seemed strong just now, how could he compare to such a person?

Ye Chu had been missing for three years and, even if he had practiced non-stop, he could only have reached the peak of the ninth level at best! Qing Xiangming, on the other hand, had practiced for over ten years and had entered the martial cultivation realm, reaching the terrifying sixth level of the True Qi Realm! This level was already comparable to some of the older generation!

"Ye Chu! Don't be stubborn! Leave first!" Liang Shan couldn't hold back anymore and shouted at Ye Chu.

There will be two more updates, but they will be a bit later, before 11 PM!
