"Ye Chu!" Chen Bowen suddenly shouted, his voice booming, the smile on his face completely vanishing. The reverberating sound made the entire room fall silent.
Everyone knew that Ye Chu had angered Chen Bowen. It was no wonder; when had Chen Bowen ever not been flattered? Now, he was being insulted by Ye Chu’s words. How could he not be furious?
"What’s wrong? Is there a problem?" Ye Chu still smiled as he looked at Chen Bowen and said, "We were just discussing the role of men. Is it necessary to call me so loudly? If someone didn’t know better, they might think you’re in love with me, but I rejected you, and now you’re angry out of embarrassment!"
Ye Chu spoke with a smile, but the people around him stared with wide eyes. They thought this was the most arrogant thing they had heard today. Did Ye Chu know who he was facing in Yao City?
"Alright! I’m a bit tired! I won’t play with you anymore!" Ye Chu smiled at Su Rong and the others. Chen Bowen had just schemed to make him be scolded by everyone, and he had retaliated by insulting him. It was even now, and he had no interest in continuing.
As Ye Chu turned to leave, Chen Bowen angrily shouted, "Stop right there!"
The explosive shout tore apart Chen Bowen’s calm and sunny exterior, revealing a power he had never shown before. He stared straight at Ye Chu, and a tremendous pressure spread around. Almost everyone knew that Chen Bowen was now in a thunderous rage. They held their breath, not daring to even look at Chen Bowen!
But only Ye Chu, with his carefree smile, turned to Chen Bowen and said slowly, word by word, "I said... I’m tired!"
The not-so-loud voice echoed in the study. Many girls covered their mouths, unable to believe that someone dared to confront Chen Bowen. In Yao City, who among the younger generation dared to challenge Chen Bowen? They thought this was the most impressive thing they had ever heard in their lives!
Chen Bowen also did not expect that someone in Yao City would dare to treat him like this. He was momentarily stunned, staring blankly at Ye Chu’s back as he walked out. By the time he reacted, Ye Chu was already at the gate of the study!
Seeing Ye Chu confront Chen Bowen so strongly, Su Rong walked up to Chen Bowen with a smile, subtly blocking him and said, "Brother Bowen, it’s been a long time since we’ve seen your calligraphy and paintings. Why don’t you show us?"
Zhang Suer, though she didn’t know why Su Rong was blocking Chen Bowen, also smiled and said, "Yes! Brother Bowen rarely comes out, he should have fun!"
The two women spoke, and the others immediately chimed in, "Exactly! Why should Brother Bowen waste his time on a scoundrel!"
"..."
The crowd’s words finally dissuaded Chen Bowen from chasing after Ye Chu. He put away his angry face and resumed his bright smile.
Su Rong sighed in relief and glanced at Chen Bowen. She thought it was fortunate that there was no conflict just now, or it would have been another trouble! If the black-robed person in the palace was really Ye Chu, then Ye Chu’s strength was even greater than she had imagined. She had seen the black-robed person force back the head guard with one palm!
Chen Bowen was indeed strong, but was Ye Chu weak? If they really fought, even if Chen Bowen won, it wouldn’t be easy! Moreover, Chen Bowen was about to face the challenge from the Sand Kingdom. He couldn’t waste his energy on Ye Chu!
"Brother Bowen! I heard that the Sand Kingdom has sent an envoy to Yao City and is challenging the cultivators of Yao Kingdom. Is that true?"
"Yes! That’s true! In three days, the battle will take place on the city walls of Yao City!" Chen Bowen smiled.
"Is it really true?" someone exclaimed, "I heard they are betting a city. Is that true?"
"Um!" Chen Bowen nodded, "The Sand Kingdom has long lived in the desert. We have no interest in their cities! It’s about to get cold, and they want to find a good place to settle, which is why they are trying to take a city from Yao Kingdom."
"What scoundrels! They are so bold!" someone was furious, "Brother Bowen, you must defeat them and not let them win the city!"
"What nonsense are you talking?" a woman hit his head in dissatisfaction, "When Brother Bowen acts, who can stand in his way? The cultivators of the Sand Kingdom will be easily dealt with!"
"Exactly! Are the cultivators of our Yao City inferior to those of the Sand Kingdom? They will be easily dealt with!"
"Don’t speak if you can’t speak properly. With Brother Bowen here, everything is foolproof!"
The crowd glared at the person who spoke, making him laugh awkwardly and not dare to respond.
Chen Bowen smiled at the crowd, his gaze falling on Su Rong. Looking at the bright and cold woman before him, Chen Bowen’s heart couldn’t help but stir. This woman was so beautiful that he couldn’t help but want to possess her.
"Su Rong! In three days, I will be battling the people of the Sand Kingdom. Can you come to the general’s residence these three days to paint and write with me to adjust my state?" Chen Bowen asked.
Chen Bowen’s words made everyone hold their breath, their eyes fixed on Su Rong and Chen Bowen. The meaning of Chen Bowen’s words was clear; he was subtly confessing to Su Rong! They didn’t expect Chen Bowen to suddenly confess at this moment!
Although the two were a perfect match in their hearts, it was just what they thought. In reality, it wasn’t like that. Would Chen Bowen’s confession make everything seem natural?
"Ah..." Su Rong’s face turned slightly red, and she also didn’t expect Chen Bowen to say such a thing at this moment.
Looking at the handsome and sunny man before her, Su Rong couldn’t deny that she had a good impression of him. It was like seeing something good, always making one want to get closer. Sometimes, she would even blush for Chen Bowen like other girls! But this didn’t mean that her good impression would make her agree to Chen Bowen!
"Sorry! I have some family matters these days, so..." Su Rong shook her head and apologized, gently refusing.
Her words made the crowd sigh, and they couldn’t help but look at Su Rong.
"Su Rong is not so easy to conquer! I’m glad I didn’t confess. Even Chen Bowen was rejected, so I have no chance at all!"
"Su Rong is still a white crane in the sky, high and hard to conquer!"
"A pearl is a pearl. Even Chen Bowen can’t make her come down from the sky!"
"..."
Countless people sighed, thinking that Su Rong was truly a proud flower, and perhaps no one could pick her.
"It’s fine!" Chen Bowen’s smile was still bright, but it was a bit forced.
"Brother Bowen! Let’s meet another time. I have some things to do, so I’ll leave first!" Su Rong stood up, smiled at Chen Bowen, and pretended not to understand his words.
After saying that, Su Rong left with Zhang Suer, under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
Outside the study, Zhang Suer asked, "Why didn’t you agree to Chen Bowen? Among the younger generation in Yao City, aren’t you the one who likes him the most?"
"Are you talking nonsense?" Su Rong’s face turned slightly red.
"How can I not know who you like? We are so close! You actually refused him, which surprised me. But thinking about it, who is worthy of our white swan! Haha, our white swan said when she was young that she would only marry a man who is both scholarly and martial, a great and upright man!"
"Talk nonsense again, and I’ll tear your mouth apart!" Su Rong hit Zhang Suer, not letting her talk nonsense. Zhang Suer laughed heartily, and the two of them chatted all the way.
