Chapter 21

"Leave? You can't leave today!" Qing Xiangming blocked Ye Chu's path, his eyes cold and fierce, ready to settle all old and new grudges with Ye Chu right now!

"I never thought of leaving!" Ye Chu said, "But I don't want to fight with you either!"

"What? Scared now?" Qing Xiangming mocked Ye Chu, "But it's too late! You won't leave the Qingyang Marquis Manor today without leaving your legs behind!"

"Not scared to that extent! Just fighting for no reason, who would do it without a prize! How about this, if you insist on fighting, put up your three-hundred-year-old ginseng as the prize!" Ye Chu said casually to Qing Xiangming, "What do you think?"

"Even if it's a thousand-year-old ginseng, so what? Do you have the ability to take it?" Qing Xiangming sneered, not taking Ye Chu seriously. He was just a scoundrel from Yaocity, easily dealt with with a wave of his hand.

Qing Xiangming swung his fist towards Ye Chu.

"Be careful!" Liang Shan was in a panic, thinking that Ye Chu was really something, why didn't he call Pang Shao to come with him? With Pang Shao around, not just a three-hundred-year-old ginseng, even a thousand-year-old one, the Qingyang Marquis Manor would try hard to find it for him!

"Ye Chu! Today I will rid Yaocity of a menace!" Qing Xiangming's fist was about to hit Ye Chu, his voice loud and excited.

Ye Chu casually grabbed a nearby chair and threw it at Qing Xiangming. Qing Xiangming's fist smashed into the chair, shattering it into pieces, wood splinters flying everywhere. Everyone involuntarily stepped back, forming a circle.

With that blow, Qing Xiangming's movements paused. Ye Chu took a few steps back and extended a finger, wagging it: "One move is enough!"

Before everyone could understand what Ye Chu meant, they saw the previously lazy Ye Chu move like a quick rabbit, extremely fast. In a blur, Ye Chu was already in front of Qing Xiangming, his fist colliding with Qing Xiangming's without any flair.

"Bang..."

A dull sound echoed, and they witnessed a shocking scene. Everyone in the hall widened their eyes, held their breath, and stood there in disbelief, the dull sound lingering in the hall and their minds.

Everyone felt their brains turn to mush, losing their thoughts, standing there in a daze, their eyes almost popping out.

Su Rong and Zhang Suer, along with a group of women, suddenly opened their delicate mouths, then quickly covered them with their hands to suppress their screams.

"He... he..."

Liang Shan pointed at the fallen Qing Xiangming, speechless!

How could this be?! One move! Just one move to take down Qing Xiangming, one of the top talents in Yaocity, almost in the top ten! Liang Shan felt his brain couldn't handle it, his eyes burning as he stared at Ye Chu. Was this the notorious, worthless scoundrel from Yaocity? This was too unbelievable!

"Three years ago, I could bully you into silence, and three years later, I can do the same!" Ye Chu said calmly to Qing Xiangming, "Lose and pay up! Hand over the three-hundred-year-old ginseng!"

Ye Chu thought some people just liked to ask for trouble. He had originally intended to exchange it with him. But if he insisted on causing trouble, he would have to suffer the consequences!

Qing Xiangming used his hands to prop himself up, struggling to stand, coughing a few times, and noticing some blood. Thinking of the force from the exchange just now, Qing Xiangming was terrified. That was definitely the power of a high-level True Qi realm!

"Impossible! You're just a scoundrel from Yaocity! You can't defeat me!" Qing Xiangming was almost mad, unwilling to accept this fact, it was too absurd!

Not just Qing Xiangming, Su Rong was also covering her lips, her beautiful eyes blinking hard, confirming this wasn't an illusion! Her heart couldn't calm down. She had repeatedly advised Ye Chu to leave Yaocity, but now her advice seemed ridiculous. With the ability to defeat Qing Xiangming, he indeed had nothing to fear!

"Three years! Can it really transform a person to this extent?" She looked at Ye Chu with a complex expression, this young man no longer seemed like the one who used to secretly admire her but trembled in front of her.

Although he was still a rogue, he was no longer a worthless scoundrel! Who would dare call someone who could defeat Qing Xiangming a scoundrel? That would be slapping their own face!

Ye Chao's expression was complex, his heart surging with waves. This person was a descendant expelled from their Ye family. He had thought Ye Chu was doomed, but never expected this outcome!

He knew very well what the Sixth Level True Qi realm meant. It was a realm that ordinary people could never reach in their lifetime. In the kingdom, such strength was comparable to a deputy general in the army! One step further, and it would reach the high-level True Qi realm! In the entire Yaocity, it was absolutely top-notch! Yet, he couldn't even block one move from Ye Chu!

Ye Chao estimated his own strength; even he couldn't defeat Qing Xiangming in one move so easily! What did this mean? That Ye Chu was already stronger than him?!

"This is impossible!" Ye Chao refused to accept this fact!

When Ye Chu was in Yaocity, he was only concerned with doing evil and enjoying himself, while he had been enduring the heat and cold, training hard for over ten years! If Ye Chu could catch up in just three years, it was too demoralizing!

Ye Chao had always despised Ye Chu's actions, thinking he was a disgrace to the Ye family. But at this moment... Ye Chao felt a myriad of emotions in his heart!

"What? Still not handing over the three-hundred-year-old ginseng!" Ye Chu laughed, "A self-proclaimed gentleman like you wouldn't break a promise, right?"

"You can't defeat me!" Qing Xiangming roared, swinging his arms and fiercely attacking Ye Chu again, unwilling to believe Ye Chu was that strong.

"Until you see the Yellow River, you won't believe it!" Ye Chu shook his head, "Fine! Yesterday, that fatso said that you can only beat the fat, not the thin. I don't believe it. Let's test it today!"

As Qing Xiangming's fist was about to hit Ye Chu, Ye Chu slapped back without hesitation. A slap landed on Qing Xiangming's face, leaving a red mark that instantly swelled up.

Qing Xiangming had never experienced such treatment, his heart burning with anger, his mind filled with only one thought: kill Ye Chu. He lunged at Ye Chu like a madman, his aura exploding to the extreme, his strength increasing several times.

Ye Chu's expression didn't change, and he slapped again!

"Slap..."

The loud sound of the slap echoed in everyone's ears, their eyes filled with complex emotions. This was once the talent they admired, the center of their world, the one they revered and aspired to be.

But now, their central figure was being trampled underfoot by someone they called a scoundrel and a scoundrel! This was a fact they couldn't accept, as it completely shattered their beliefs!

"Slap..." Another slap, Ye Chu looked at the increasingly swollen face and muttered, "Strange! Really can't make someone thinner, only fatter?"

"Slap... I don't believe it! I think it can make someone fatter!"

"No logic! According to physics, a slap is a compression, which should make it smaller, not bigger! Let me try again..."

The sound of slaps continued, and Ye Chu occasionally made sarcastic remarks. Liang Shan thought Ye Chu was too shameless, intentionally making people feel sick. He had never heard of making someone thinner by slapping them!

"Slap..." Ye Chu slapped again, seeing Qing Xiangming's face so swollen it was almost unrecognizable, and shook his head, "Forget it! It seems even I, who knows everything, can be wrong! It really can't make someone thinner! But it doesn't matter, at least it proves the possibility of 'faking it till you make it'!"

Ye Chu felt he was an excellent scholar, still thinking about leaving reference materials for future generations at this moment!

"Such audacity! Daring to cause trouble in my Qingyang Marquis Manor!" As Ye Chu stopped, a roar suddenly echoed, and everyone looked over to see Qingyang Marquis storming in, furious!

Qingyang Marquis's arrival made everyone overjoyed, but Liang Shan's expression changed drastically. This was a person of the same generation as his father, and Qingyang Marquis was known for his fiery temper. Among the marquises, no one wanted to provoke him!
