36-40

Hearing the voice, everyone looked back with astonishment. There was actually someone who was adamant about standing up for this fruit seller. Ye Wenchen was about to mock back but then remembered that this was one of the first-class clubhouses. Anyone here was from a wealthy background, so he swallowed his anger back.

A man walked over elegantly, flaming with anger. That expression was akin to an erupting volcano yet his complexion was as cold as an ice-sculpture. The one who arrived was Tang Wenchong. He was merely interacting with his friends as a gesture of social etiquette and allowed Jiang Xiu to enter the clubhouse by himself. He didn't expect someone would want to drive out the guest he had invited with so much difficulty.

"Who's this man? Acting so arrogant?" Ouyang Qian sneered.

The entire situation today was in their favor and was overseen by Ye Wenchen's Second Uncle, the boss of this Belden clubhouse. Who's so insensible that they want to stand up for Jiang Xiu?

"Are you crazy?!"

To the side, Lin Shu's complexion changed colors. "You don't even recognize Young Master Tang?"

Ouyang Qian said in a daze, "Tang family's eldest Young Master!"

"Which Tang family?"

Lin Shu replied in annoyance, "You're asking such a thing? Are there two Tang families in Jiang City?"

If someone mixed among the silk-pants of Jiang City and didn't recognize Tang Wenchong's identity, it meant that their qualifications were still inadequate. The reason Lin Shu was able to recognize Tang Wenchong wasn't since he had the qualifications, it was just that he had opportunely seen him before and this top young master had left a deep impression on him. Yet, Tang Wenchong simply didn't know who he was.

"You mean… He's Old Father Tang's…"

Ouyang Qian was frightened to death when she realized who had arrived, her complexion turning paler.

"Young Master Chong!"

"Young Master Chong!"

Everyone greeted him.

Ye Wenchen's Second Uncle, Yang Yong also greeted him respectfully. He was more deferential than the others, even making a bow. "You've come, Young Master Chong."

Tang Wenchong ignored him and directly walked in front of Ye Wenchen; that ice-cold chilling gaze was enough to make Ye Wenchen feel goosebumps. "Is it you? You want my guest to get lost?"

Swoosh!

"He's really a guest? Young Master Chong had invited him?"

Ye Wenchen and Yang Yong's complexion changed colors immediately.

How is this possible?

Just what kind of an identity did the eldest Young Master of the Tang family have? How could he even be acquainted with someone whose home ran a fruit stall? Such were Ye Wenchen's thoughts when he asked, "Young Master Chong, you aren't mistaken, right? He's just a fruit seller."

Tang Wenchen grit his teeth with hate and rage. Did you bleach your goddamn dog-shit eyes or what? You actually dare to humiliate Mr. Jiang in front of him? You really seem to not know how the word 'death' is written. What's even more repulsive is that you bastard implicated me too, making it seem like I was neglecting the guest. Who am I supposed to go to cry if Mr. Jiang storms off in anger?

"Get lost!"

His anger exploded out, making him use foul language.

Those words were like a resolute slap to his face, Ye Wenchen's complexion turned colors like a withering eggplant in the cold. The embarrassment was just too much.

Yang Yong started speaking with the intention to plea for leniency for this nephew, "Young Master Chong, this is all my…" He believed that his nephew was just trying to do good. After all, the other party was just a fruit seller and it wouldn't be a big deal even if he was invited as a guest. He thought his nephew wouldn't have to leave once he gave an explanation.

But who would've guessed that Tang Wenchong would glare at him, "You also get lost! From this moment, you are no longer the boss of Belden anymore."

Yang Yong was stupefied at the scene, with a look of disbelief.

He reacted after quite a while, rushing to say, "No, Young Master Chong, please listen to my explanation!"

"Get lost now!"

Tang Wenchong simply didn't give him an opportunity to explain. Yang Yong's heart had fallen to the depths of despair. All he possessed right now came from the position of being Belden's boss, if he lost this job then all will be gone. He said fervently, "Young Master Chong, I… I was only doing my part, checking this person's invitation card but he didn't have one. I… I'm not in the wrong here, I didn't make a mistake, Young Master Chong!"

Tang Wenchong said, "Yes, you didn't make a mistake but you were mistaken about the mistake. You don't know just who you've offended."

"Get lost by yourself, don't make me call the guards."

Swoosh. Everyone on the scene made a commotion again.

Don't those words make it sound like this fruit seller is actually someone important?

Just what is happening?

This matter was really developing into a strange turn. Originally, they believed that Jiang Xiu would have a miserable end, but no one could expect that such a hazardous counterattack would come hitting back. Not only was Ye Wenchen being driven away from the clubhouse, even his Second Uncle who covered for him was also being thrown out. This hit to their face was quite ruthless.

Everyone's gazes towards Jiang Xiu changed.

"How is he a friend of Tang Wenchong, does he have some background?"

Surprise filled the faces of the Cheng mother-daughter pair, they were most clear about Jiang Xiu's background. His parents ran a fruit stall so they wondered how Jiang Xiu was acquainted with Tang Wenchong.

"So, you became acquainted with Tang Wenchong, no wonder you are so arrogant these days." Cheng Lingsu felt like she had finally found the reason for Jiang Xiu's change, "Is this where your confidence comes from?"

Immediately after that, she shook her head. You're too naïve. Tang Wenchong is just your friend. To what degree can he support you? Possessing personal strength is true strength.

Jiang Xiu, you're still the same Jiang Xiu.

Tang Wenchong faced Jiang Xiu, "Mister Jiang, can you please forgive this Wenchong for his negligence?"

Jiang Xiu was as tranquil as before, just giving a smile while declining to comment.

A disharmonious voice came through at this moment, "East can't become West, there's always elsewhere if not this place."

The voice was pretty languid and seemed mocking.

"Who is it?"

Tang Wenchong furrowed his brows. Everyone was quite astonished as well that there was actually someone who dared to challenge Young Master Tang. A man wearing a white suit languidly leaning on the wall appeared into their view, it was that Young Master Bai, Bai Feng.

He came over while swaying the wine cup in his hand gently, "Tang Wenchong, they are guests I've invited. This Belden doesn't belong to just your family, my Bai family also holds shares in it."

"What authority do you have to drive my guests away?"

Swoosh! Everyone caused a commotion once again.

"Y-Young Master Bai!"

Ye Wenchen's call out seemed filled with agitation. He didn't expect that Young Master Bai would cause trouble for him. It could only be said that life is like a rollercoaster ride, too fast and thrilling.

Bai Feng hinted Ye Wenchen to keep calm as he gazed towards Jiang Xiu with contempt, "Even a fruit seller can enter our Belden? It seems like I'll have to speak with my father to close down Belden as soon as possible."

Tang Wenchong puckered his brows, "Bai Feng, what are your intentions? Are you set on making things difficult for me?"

Bai Feng laughed coldly, saying to Yang Yong, "You did pretty well. This sort of beggar-like person who wants to force himself into the upper-class circle should just be thrown out. Feel relieved, as long as this Young Master is here, no one can remove you from the being Belden's boss."

"You…"

Tang Wenchong's expression morphed, this was a clear-cut slap towards his face. He controlled his voice while saying, "Bai Feng, don't create trouble. Don't forget the reason for holding this party today."

Bai Feng said sternly, "It's because I know the reason! This Young Master wants to defend the proper qualifications to enter Belden and fulfill everyone's desire."

Bai Feng's gaze fell on Jiang Xiu while Jiang Xiu's face was still indifferent as before, "Brat, act a little sensitive and get lost from here. Don't force me to call the guards."

"Belden isn't a place you can come into."

"Bai Feng!" Tang Wenchong shouted in anger. He had invited Jiang Xiu with great difficulty and if he left now, he'd be done for.

"I'm warning you, Mr. Jiang is an esteemed guest, you can't afford to offend him."

"Hahaha…"

Bai Feng wasn't frightened by Tang Wenchong's words and instead laughed out loud as if he had heard the best joke in the world. He even shook his head slightly, assuming a helpless appearance. "Tang Wenchong, can't you think before speaking? Just look at him, you say this Young Master can't dare to offend him? Crushing him to death is as easy as crushing an ant to its death."

Ouyang Qian felt goosebumps all over, her face blushing with excitement, "Young Master Bai is very impressive."

Lin Shu said, "Young Master Bai has an illustrious family background, the Bai family is among the top families in the entire Jiangnan province. Myriad Base's Qin Weiping is his cousin, that's a relation to the Imperial Capital."

"No wonder even Young Master Tang was suppressed."

A smile rose up on Jiang Xiu's mouth, his interest was piqued a bit now. He came in front of Bai Feng, "You say crushing this Deity to death is as easy as crushing an ant to its death?"

"Mhm. This Deity is actually curious, just how will you do the crushing?"

Suddenly, Jiang Xiu reached out with his palm, which was followed by a thunder-like sound. It had slapped Bai Feng's handsome face, causing him to fly back.

Swoosh! The entire place was in a panic.

All of them were stupefied.

Cheng Lingsu's and Sun Xiaohong's eyes almost popped out.

Hearing the voice, everyone looked back with astonishment. There was actually someone who was adamant about standing up for this fruit seller. Ye Wenchen was about to mock back but then remembered that this was one of the first-class clubhouses. Anyone here was from a wealthy background, so he swallowed his anger back.

Suddenly, Jiang Xiu reached out with his palm, which was followed by a thunder-like sound. It had slapped Bai Feng's handsome face, causing him to fly back.

Swoosh! The entire place was in a panic.

All of them were stupefied.

Cheng Lingsu's and Sun Xiaohong's eyes almost popped out.

This was none other than Young Master Bai nevertheless Jiang Xiu still dared to hit him. Shock filled the hearts of everyone present on the scene, giving them the shivers all over. T-this is too insane!

Even Tang Wenchong was in a daze.

Bai Feng fell to the ground brutally. His eyes expanded so much that they almost popped out. He didn't dare to believe nor want to accept that a fruit seller had the nerve to hit him.

He checked the inside of his mouth with his trembling hand, it was full of blood. He spat it out along with two of his incisors, "You… dared to hit me?"

"Who do you think you are?"

The anger in his heart right now was quite imaginable, it was enough to set him on a flame.

He, Bai Feng, was hit by someone.

"This brat is so dead."

"Not just him, his family and even his relatives will all suffer." It is a simple matter for a Young Master from the rich and powerful families to ruin your family as they have a lot of underlings who're willing to do that.

Sun Xiaohong spoke to Cheng Lingsu nervously, "Remove the engagement as soon as possible. This Jiang Xiu is too unreasonable. He can neither retain his anger nor endure some insults. Let alone, his family's condition is so worse. Even if he were a child of an influential family, he'd just become a good-for-nothing."

Cheng Lingsu still hadn't told Sun Xiaohong that Jiang Xiu had already signed the agreement to remove the engagement.

Shock filled her face, making her lips go paler.

Aren't you a little too impulsive?

The other party is the No. 1 Young Master of Jiang City, one stomp from Bai family is enough to make the entire Jiang City tremble thrice, and you dared to attack the son of Bai family. Can't you see even Tang Wenchong is in an awkward situation?

And you're just a thug who relies on Tang Wenchong.

Can you even imagine the consequences?

Bai Feng got extremely angry, "This Daddy will cripple you today…"

Bai family was a martial arts family so naturally, Bai Feng was also a martial arts expert. His strength was above the so-called super soldiers of the Dragon Battle Regiment. He got careless a moment ago as he didn't expect Jiang Xiu would dare to attack him.

Tang Wenchong said, "Bai Feng. Today's situation has happened in front of so many bigwigs, it's already blown up big. When the time comes, not only would you lose face, the entire Bai family will lose face."

Bai Feng ignored Tang Wenchong completely. His mind was only set on one thing, to kill Jiang Xiu. "Brat, I, Bai Feng, won't bully you. Let's have a 1 vs 1 duel. This Daddy will give you the first move."

Jiang Xiu laughed faintly, his cold gaze sweeping over, "You're not qualified!"

Too arrogant, just too arrogant, you say Young Master Bai isn't qualified! </em?>

"You've got quite the guts!"

A voice came through from afar, but it fell into everyone's ears clearly, penetrating the crowd like a thunderclap. It seemed as if the entire area had gone cold and even the wind had stopped blowing.

A young man wearing a simple yet elegant white dress walked into the place.

"Young Master Lin!"

The crowd separated to make a path. The people on the sides looked at him with courtesy. He seemed quite thin, but as he walked, each of his steps built up his aura. Everyone was suppressed and didn't dare to even utter a letter.

"Who is he?"

Many of them didn't know who had arrived yet looking at that dignified manner, they felt he was someone amazing.

"Lin family, one of the top 4 prominent families of Jiangnan!"

"Lin Jiadong!"

Ouyang Qian covered her mouth, this little girl was too shocked. Tang and Bai family ruling over Jiang City was enough to scare people, now even one of the top 4 prominent families of Jiangnan has come. Just what kind of terrible existence was that?

"Is this Young Master qualified?"

Swoosh , the entire place was in an uproar.

Lin Jiadong had the Lin family behind him, and him favoring Bai Feng represented that Bai family and Lin family had joined hands.

Jiang Xiu shook his head, "Not qualified!"

"How about me then?"

Followed by those words, another Young Master joined the fray. This person was too concealed, and when people found him, they cried out in alarm.

"It's Li Chengfeng from another of the top 4 prominent families of Jiangnan, Li family."

Everyone was filled with fear the longer they looked. Everyone called Li Feng as Instructor Heavenly Dragon as he was the instructor of the Heavenly Dragon Regiment, but he was younger than most of the members. Adding his identity was the young master of the Li family, he was considered as the No.1 youth in the entire Jiangnan province.

"How come he's also here? Isn't he in the Army Division?"

Never had they seen such a situation where a person was bullied so much. He's a fruit seller, Young Masters, do you want to scare him to his death or what?

Jiang Xiu gave the same response, "Still not qualified!"

"Tsk…"

Another voice arrived, "Then me?"

Everyone was startled once again, their eyes almost popped out from the shock.

"Young Master Gu!"

The people there cried out simultaneously, chaos had begun.

"Jiangnan province's No.1 Young Master!"

All the girls present on the scene had lost their calm, this Gu Yihao's only son, the leader of Jiangnan province's silkpants' circle. What's happening today? Even Young Master Gu has arrived.

It's all over. The fun this time had gone over the top a little.

With these Young Masters acting together, it was easy to turn the entire Jiangnan province's sky and earth upside down, let alone they had allied to deal with a fruit seller.

All of them were thoroughly stupefied.

Jiang City's Bai family, Lin and Li families of Jiangnan province's four prominent families, and even the No. 1 Young Master of Jiangnan. Hah, they really want to scare people to their deaths. Looks like this youngster might meet his maker today.

"Still not qualified!"

This brat…

To stay stalwart when confronting oppression was worthy of praise, but forcing it even when it's an impossible situation were the traits of a stupid cnt.

Cheng Lingsu's face went paler.

She wanted to save Jiang Xiu out of this pinch when the conflict between him and Young Master Bai began, after all, she and he were acquaintances, but the matter had already gone out of control. No one could save Jiang Xiu now.

Jiang Xiu should've never raised his hand against Bai Feng. Just what kind of existence was Bai Feng? The present scene depicted it clearly. His friends were all influential Young Masters.

Tang Wenchong had lost his wits, he didn't knowknew not how this will end.

"Brat, I know you're terrified." Lin Jiadong sneered. He didn't believe that Jiang Xiu possessed the strength to challenge them four.

"Is that so?"

Jiang Xiu thought to himself, This Deity had taken a cooperative attack of Nine Grand Exalts and still got away scot-free while chatting with a smile.

Slap!

Jiang Xiu slapped Lin Jiadong's face ruthlessly, it gave a clear and loud sound amidst the quietness. Lin Jiadong's smile froze on his face as five scarlet finger marks appeared on it. He was left in a daze.

Everyone else was stunned, their mouths almost took the 'O' shape.

OH MY GOD!

F*CK!

HOLY CR*P!

All kinds of swear words rose in their hearts. This fruit seller wants to upturn the heavens.

"What now?"

Jiang Xiu asked indifferently, "Do you still think that this Deity is terrified?" Deity Xiu used the most direct way to prove himself. He wasn't terrified at all.

Lin Jiadong remained dazed for quite a while. He couldn't accept that someone had dared to hit him and in front of so many people too. The burning sensation on his face told him that it had indeed happened, that damn fruit seller had hit him.

He had given him a slap!

"You dare to hit me?"

Lin Jiadong finally reacted.

As someone who had personally experienced it, Bai Feng understood how Lin Jiadong felt right now. What kind of a mindset was created when a person whom they viewed as a tiny ant hits them? It begins with disbelief, followed by the rage taking over the mind, making the person mad.

Li Chengfeng was also shocked, he yelled, "Brat, I think you aren't terrified but rather scared senseless!"

Jiang Xiu had already offended the Bai family, and he still dared to provoke the Lin family, one of the four prominent families of Jiangnan. No sane person would do that, so Li Chengfeng was convinced that Jiang Xiu was scared senseless.

"Hoh?"

Slap!

It was pretty straightforward, Jiang Xiu gave him a slap too, causing a crispy clear echo which delivered the message that he wasn't scared senseless.

Li family's Young Master had also taken a hit.

This is…

Words weren't enough to explain the feeling of the people present on the scene. They were completely dumbstruck. They could only curse in their minds over and over.

This damn fruit seller, he actually hit the three Young Masters.

Just a stamp from one of them is enough to cause ripples over half of Jiangnan.

Young Master Gu was put in an awkward situation as the other three Young Masters who teamed up with him had all got whacked. Only he remained now. His complexion turned ashen when he discovered Jiang Xiu's gaze fall on him. He naturally wasn't afraid. No one dared to act against him, Jiangnan's No. 1 Young Master, the only son of Gu Shu. He was furious that someone had hit his brothers in front of him.

He was left with no face!

"This Young Master doesn't believe you'll dare to hit me."

"Why don't you come try?"

Slap!

Too ridiculous. It was an utterly absurd situation. Jiang Xiu didn't even spare Young Master Gu. This time, all four of them got dealt with by such a humiliating slap.

It felt inconceivable to everyone even after the shock had dissolved. An insignificant person whom they could end with just a gesture from their lips had actually disgraced them.

Just thinking about it made everyone feel melancholic.

Anyone would go insane if such a thing happened to them.

Jiang Xiu held the same indifferent attitude as before; his eyes glistened with a luster similar to a pitch-black and cold pool as if an ancient beast looking down on an ant, "This Deity beat you, what will you do?"

OH MY GOD! Keeping aside the fact that you picked a fight with the four Young Masters, you still dare to taunt them. You're just itching to get wrecked.

Just what has this world come to?

Since when did a loser's counterattack become so high-profile?

"You… good… very good…"

Five distinct finger marks appeared on Young Master Gu's fair face. His chest heaved up and down in anger, that gaze in his eyes akin to a wild beast hungry for prey.

"Call the men…"

Young Master Gu roared, losing self-control.

Bai Feng, Lin Jiadong, and Li Chengfeng took out their cell phones. They understood that Jiang Xiu possessed skills but thought he was too over-confident. The strength their families possessed was a lot stronger than his; it was enough to butcher him to pieces!!!

The four Young Masters were about to go berserk!

The mood became very tense. Just the fact that Bai Feng got beaten up was overwhelming and let alone, the top three Young Masters of Jiangnan province, including the No. 1 Young Master in it, got beaten up by Jiang Xiu. This was too much.

The tempest on the eve of arrival was quite imaginable.

No doubt this brat is done for.

Even if Tang family did their utmost to protect him, they'd still fail. No one in this world can save him now. Don't even kid about this. Young Master Gu is among the four of them.

Tang Wenchong's face went pale from the fear, "Mr. Jiang, y-you're too impulsive. A calamity has befallen us now."

His voice quivered.

Jiang Xiu ignored his words, "I hope someone decent appears."

"Mr. Jiang, why don't we quickly leave before their men arrive?"

"Leave?"

Tang Wenchong almost cried due to the anxiety, "It'd be troublesome if we wait for their men to arrive."

"Oh?"

"This Deity is looking forward to it very much."

Learning that Jiang Xiu had no intentions of leaving, Tang Wenchong got drenched in sweat due to the worry when he saw the four Young Masters make calls. It wasn't that he didn't have confidence in Jiang Xiu, but rather the opponent was too strong. No matter how high Jiang Xiu's strength was, it couldn't possibly match the combined power of the four families.

Left with no choice, he took out his cell phone to call Tang Zhenshan.

Old Father Tang's voice came over from the other end, "Wenchong, how did it go? Were you able to invite Mr. Jiang over?"

Old Father Tang felt nervous as he asked this.

He underestimated Jiang Xiu's strength and lost the opportunity to get acquainted with Jiang Xiu. An expert like Jiang Xiu was usually prideful, so he believed that the chances of Tang Wenchong inviting him over was quite small, almost zilch.

"I was able to invite…"

"You did it?!"

Tang Zhenshan trembled with excitement. That's good. Wenchong, this brat, has done a great service this time.

"But, Grandpa…"

"Bai Feng, Lin Jiadong, Li Chengfeng, and even Young Master Gu provoked Mr. Jiang and got beaten by him."

Tang Wenchong felt gloomy as his achievement was in vain.

"What?"

Tang Zhenshan felt shocked, "Where are you now?"

"At the Clubhouse!"

Tang Zhenshan said, "The party shall begin. I'll notify their elders to tell those children to restrain themselves, those group of useless things."

Tang Wenchong relaxed after hearing those words.

The Old Father was someone who always fulfills his promises. Since he said he'd keep those four Young Masters under control, there was no doubt he'd accomplish that.

Tang Zhenshan ended the call and then immediately called the patron's of those four Young Masters, i.e., their fathers, the source of their arrogance. If these troublemakers didn't have good fathers, that riff-raff group was just trash. Although it was so, who'd actually refer to them as troublemakers? None would do that.

It was easy to handle the Bai family, Lin family, and Li family. It seemed to Tang Wenchong that Young Master Gu was the most troublesome as he was the only son of Gu Shu. Only, to Tang Zhensan, it was easy to handle Young Master Gu. Gu Shu was quite attentive to his social profile and also very strict with children.

"Let's wait for the good show to begin. Jiang Xiu has run out of luck this time." Ye Wenchen couldn't suppress his excitement.

"Yeah!" Ouyang Qian was also looking forward to it.

She had forgotten entirely that Jiang Xiu had helped them in Entertainment City before.

"This brat thinks he's hot shi*t just because he succeeded twice."

"It's great that a calamity befell him now."

You wanted this Young Master to leave and even tried to expel my Second Uncle. You better think about whether you can leave this clubhouse alive now.

Everyone was waiting for the show to begin, but the situation changed suddenly.

"What? I can't act against him?"

Young Master Gu got stunned after receiving such a call. He was filled with rage and had nowhere to vent. He was now told that he couldn't act against this man, "WHY?!"

Young Master Gu yelled.

"He, a fruit seller beat me up, and I still can't act against him?"

When the people present there heard this, they felt as if they had received enlightenment. Looking at Jiang Xiu's easy-going appearance, they thought that he was just a stupid cnt before, but now, he felt completely different to them, similar to an enigma.

What kind of joke is this? Even Jiangnan's No. 1 Young Master can't act against this person.

"But…"

Before Young Master Gu could finish saying his piece, the other side had ended the call. The intent was quite clear, this matter had no margin of discussion. Young Master Gu's complexion changed colors, he had utterly lost face today.

First, he was beaten up by the damn fruit seller, then, he was reprimanded like a dog due to the Old Father.

"Brat, I'll let you go since the party is starting!"

Young Master Gu wasn't an obedient child. Though the Tang and Qin family meddled this time, he wouldn't let Jiang Xiu off after the party ends. He even delivered an eloquent speech, "Brothers, please give some face to me and quell your anger. We shall take care of this after the party ends. Let's give some face to the host."

Those words made sense and adding the four Young Master's reputation onto it, no one believed they were scared of Jiang Xiu and thought they were quite cool. Amazing, to be able to endure until the party ends, such benevolence!

Jiang Xiu smiled calmly, "Let's wait for that time then. This Deity hopes that you won't disappoint."

Tang Wenchong felt cold sweat pour down when he heard that, This Mr. Jiang is quite a hard person to deal with.

If it weren't for my Grandfather, who knows where you'd have ended up? You still dare to act so arrogantly.

The surrounding crowd made a commotion.

This guy doesn't stop. The Young Masters were showing face to the host, and you're ready to climb over them. Such a reckless guy. They should just deal with him right now.

"Don't worry. This Young Master won't let you have an easy time."

"Just wait!"

The four Young Masters were quite gloomy. These top Young Masters who could cause the entire Jiangnan province to tremble thrice with just a single stamp were reduced to squabbling like primary grade students.

You shouldn't run once the classes end!

The Young Masters felt they had suffered extreme humiliation.

"Let's go!"

The Young Masters all had five crimson finger marks on their cheeks. No matter how one looked, their appearance was quite feeble. Bai Feng was the most pitiful, Jiang Xiu had whacked him most brutally, causing half of his face to swell up and breaking two of his teeth.

The guests looked at their silhouettes with a daze. Are these the top four Young Masters of Jiangnan? Why does this give such a sad and melancholic feeling?

"Please come in, Mr. Jiang!"

Tang Wenchong wiped the sweat from his forehead. The disturbance was settled temporarily.

After people entered inside, Jiang Xiu also went in, but he was blocked by a person, Cheng Lingsu. It seemed as if a layer of frost had covered her face, making her seem ice-cold. It looked like she had something to say to him again.

Jiang Xiu said, "Go in. This Deity shall come in soon after."

Tang Wenchong was a keen individual. Seeing such a pretty girl standing in front of Mr. Jiang, he understood the situation in a second, that it was a matter of emotion. This subject wasn't easy to deal with. He nodded and went inside, but he had already learned his lesson from before. This time, he absolutely didn't dare to let Jiang Xiu go alone. After making sure that no trouble would arise again, he waited at a nearby place.

"What is it?"

Cheng Lingsu looked at Tang Wenchong standing at a distance. She didn't know how Jiang Xiu got acquainted with him and wasn't interested to know. She knew Tang Wenchong's phone call had settled the danger for Jiang Xiu, "Tang family can only protect you for a while but not forever."

"Leave quickly, this place isn't suitable for you!"

"Return to the place you ought to fool around and live your days in peace."

Cheng Lingsu nodded, "I know you feel unsatisfied with your position. Since you once possessed the qualifications to enter a high society circle, but now it's all gone. You and we are from two different worlds. Countless ordinary people want to force their way into high society yet only humiliation awaits them."

Jiang Xiu looked towards her, asking, "Is this what you wanted to convey to this Deity?"

She continued, "You've offended the top four elite young masters of Jiangnan now but don't even have a standing inside this circle. Leave! This place isn't for you!"

"Is that so?"

Jiang Xiu smiled indifferently, brushing past Cheng Lingsu's shoulder. A grim intent flashed through her eyes when she saw that he wasn't heeding her advice. She firmly stated, "Jiang Xiu, I can stop you but don't hate me for it."

"You're free to try…"

Cheng Lingsu's beautiful brows locked up as she clenched her fists subconsciously, so much that even her shoulders were trembling.

Jiang Xiu left in huge strides. When Tang Wenchong who was waiting nearby saw Jiang Xiu return, he politely explained, "I was afraid Mr. Jiang would find difficulty in locating the place, so I continued to wait here…"

"Mhm, lead the way!"

In the high society, the distinction in the social classes was clear-cut. It was done according to the position. The farther in it went, the nobler was their status. Someone like Ye Wenchen could only sit at the outermost roundtable, accompanied by Ouyang Qian and the rest.

When Jiang Xiu entered inside, all of them wondered where this brat would sit.

Ouyang Qian didn't spare any slack, "It'd best if he was given a small wooden stool at the corner."

Li Dan giggled, "That'd be quite the scene."

"Isn't it strange that a fruit seller can enter the high society?"

With regards to Jiang Xiu being able to come to a party of such grade, it made them lose their sense of superiority, which gave them discomfort.

"He's Tang Wenchong's visitor, according to the norm, he should sit in the 3rd tier area."

Ye Wenchen's words made sense. They were in the 4th tier area right now.

They had come in through Yang Yong's referral and were only children, so it was natural for them to sit in the outermost location. Ye Wenchen understood this, and although he said those words, he still felt discomfort. No matter which aspect, he was superior to Jiang Xiu, but that damned fruit seller was acquainted with Tang Wenchong.

Cheng Lingsu also came inside and sat down, her sight following Jiang Xiu's silhouette.

Jiang Xiu had already entered the 3rd tier area.

The invitation Sun Xiaohong possessed was for the 3rd tier area. It was already pretty good that her friend was able to arrange for the 3rd tier. It was from a military connection similar to Tang Zhenshan.

A peculiar glint flashed through Sun Xiaohong's eyes when she looked at him. I have to annul the engagement between Jiang Xiu and Susu at all costs. Keeping aside the fact whether he'd come out alive today after the four young masters are done with him, even if he does, that'd still offend them. Offending them was equivalent to making enemies with over 50% of Jiangnan's elite power holders. Why would my Cheng family still want such a son-in-law?

Jiang Xiu still continued to walk and passed through the 3rd tier area.

"How was he able to pass?"

Ye Wenchen and the rest felt agitated.

Just having a difference of one level gave them discomfort, it was already two levels higher. Just why? Why can that damn fruit seller pass through?

An unusual expression floated up on Cheng Lingsu's face. Even her mother was seated in the 3rd tier area, but his seat was higher.

Ye Wenchen said, "It's the 2nd tier for sure, it won't go higher." Even Tang Wenchong himself only had the qualifications to sit in the 2nd tier area.

Ouyang Qian expressed disdain, "That's nothing!"

Lin Shu said, "Acting like hot sh*t but dooming his entire family. Just see what happens after the party."

"Fudge!"

He swore right after that because Jiang Xiu passed through the 2nd tier area and directly walked over to the 1st tier area. This was an impossibility as all those seated in the 1st tier were eminent personas.

"Impossible!" Ye Wenchen couldn't believe it.

The 1st tier was quite far away, almost 100 m from them. Jiang Xiu had entered that elite area, somewhere they all aspired for.

Cheng Lingsu almost lost her manners and acted up.

The Tang family holds Jiang Xiu this highly!?

Just why?

"It's really happening!" A few of them cried out together after seeing this, their tone seemed unwilling, but they were helpless.

Each area conformed to a precise social position, based on either their post or assets or influence. People paid a high price just to be able to sit in the higher area. But now, Jiang Xiu had directly dashed into the elite area, this made them lose their calm as well as collapsed their hearts.

"How is this possible?"

Young Master Gu, Young Master Li, and Bai Feng were seated in the 1st tier area, but even they were sitting in the periphery. They subconsciously raised their brows when they saw Tang Wenchong bring Jiang Xiu to the 1st tier area. It's true that enemies clash often. Such a beggar can sneak into the 1st tier area?

But Jiang Xiu kept walking and passed the periphery of the 1st tier area.

Young Master Gu and the rest looked at this with shock.

How can this be? He'll enter the place where the real elite and big shots are if he keeps walking. Even though they were the young masters of their families, they were after all the 2nd generation. Only when they take the helm of the family would they obtain the qualifications to enter the elite area.

Ye Wenchen and the rest stood up.

He's going to be on an equal footing with the big shots?

The people who had witnessed the quarrel between Jiang Xiu and the four young master's before were utterly shocked. Does this damn fruit seller have some hidden identity?

'

But that shock didn't end as Jiang Xiu still kept walking.

"H-He went in!"

He had entered the inner hall.

"This…"

Everyone was left speechless, and though they were very unresigned, this had expressed Old Father Tang Zhenshan's intentions. The reason he allowed Tang Wenchong to bring Jiang Xiu inside wasn't that Jiang Xiu was a shaman but because he believed that Jiang Xiu possessed the qualifications to enter inside.

The inner hall was lush with grass, sculpted corridors as well as water fountains, making it look quite appealing, giving it an elegant ambiance. The noise from outside couldn't even enter inside.

"We welcome you, Venerable Mr. Jiang!"

Tang Zhenshan wore a smile, the sleeve over his crippled arm waved due to the wind slightly. His gaze held no hatred within it due to the crippled arm, as if he was meeting a noble guest.

"It's been a long time since we last met, Old Father Tang."

Jiang Xiu said indifferently.

His sight fell on Tang Zhenshan's crippled arm, causing him to frown. Tang Zhenshan gave up on his arm, which made Jiang Xiu shake his head. Ignorant mortal, even if you cannot use the arm again, you ought to have connected it or else you'll lose the arm once again in the next reincarnation. That's the reason dead bodies were sewn together in ancient times.

"Talisman paper!"

Tang Wenchong couldn't understand it. Tang Zhenshan signaled him to follow the words. This Mr. Jiang is really eccentric. Why does he want a talisman paper when everything is fine.

As the party today was to appreciate ancient artifacts, there was a pile of worn out talisman papers on the table. It was unclear which era they were from, but since Jiang Xiu wanted it, Tang Wenchong went to get one.

Jiang Xiu took it with his left hand, the talisman had a lot of glyphs drawn on it. He just swept a glance through it and then used his forefinger to draw on it through the void. There was no magic force on it. Jiang Xiu ignored it, and as he moved his finger, glyphs appeared on top of the talisman but Tang Zhenshan and Tang Wenchong couldn't see them at all.

Jiang Xiu had finished drawing soon and explained, "After Old Father Tang dies, remember to stick this talisman on the crippled arm. Don't forget this!"

Jiang Xiu gave the talisman to Tang Zhenshan to let him hold it in safekeeping.

Jiang Xiu had chopped off Tang Zhenshan's arm, but sins followed to the next reincarnation. Jiang Xiu's talisman was called as 'Returning the Soul Fragment to Origin Talisman', which would prevent Tang Zhenshan from becoming a disabled person in the next reincarnation, allowing him to be born as a regular person.

Tang Zhenshan couldn't understand any of this, "Mr. Jiang also knows spellcasting?"

Jiang Xiu smiled faintly, declining to comment.

He had already given the talisman as a present, and it'd depend on Tang Zhenshan's luck whether he believes it or not and also whether his posterity follows the instructions.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Jiang, please come in!"

There were quite a lot of different ancient artifacts displayed on the booths. All of them were in glass containers. Only when a Shaman wanted to inspect it, they'd take it out. Tang Zhenshan had collected all these ancient artifacts, and even if they weren't artifacts, he possessed a keen gaze, so they were all priceless antiques. His nature was quite prudent.

"Since Mr. Jiang understands spellcasting, please have a look at them."

A lot of people were gathered here. Jiang Xiu looked over curiously. A black jar-like object was displayed on a booth with a muddy and worn-out talisman stuck on it.

The engineering team under Qin Weiping had worked on several projects and were experienced. They didn't damage the artifact when they discovered it and didn't even dare to touch it. They only extracted the item while preserving it completely.

"This is a Soul Shrine!"

A middle-aged Shaman conferred. This object was alien to ordinary humans, but it was familiar to Shamans.

He gazed at the glyphs on top of it and murmured, "Pardon… Land… Thunder… Single… asdfg hjljkh Daoist seal!"

Some of the glyphs were already illegible.

Jiang Xiu was also curious and moved closer. He wore street clothes and had an appearance of a youth. It was no wonder he stood out among the group of white-haired Shamans possessing an ethereal aura.

One of them furrowed his brows, "Has Old Tang Four gone mad? He brought such a brat who still smells of his mother's milk here to identify artifacts."

His voice was clear enough for the nearby Jiang Xiu as well as the faraway Tang Zhenshan to hear.

Tang Zhenshan felt quite embarrassed.

"Stop saying rubbish!"

An old man who sat there like a celestial immortal berated. His eyes were closed, and even when Jiang Xiu had entered inside, they hadn't opened. "Old Father Tang, don't mind my disciple's blabberings."

That person seemed to have a high status, Tang Zhenshan replied with utmost care, "You're too polite, Master Wu Long."

Tang Wenchong gave an explanation to Jiang Xiu in a quiet voice, "This is Master Wu Long, a famed shaman of Jiangnan. Even the big shots of the province treat him with extreme respect."

After the Shamans surrounding the soul shrine had studied it, they all revealed a troubled expression, helplessly saying, "Our magic force is meager, we can only make out that something is wrong with this Soul Shrine but can't figure out the exact reason. Grandmaster Wu Long, please enlighten us."

"Anyways, it's a full moon tonight, so the Yin energy is at its peak, moonlight mustn't fall on this Soul Shrine. Use a red cloth to cover it."

The serving staff did as they were commanded and covered the soul shrine with a red cloth.

"Your Dao skills are still weak. It's already remarkable that you've discovered something is wrong with this Soul Shrine and knew to use a red cloth to screen off the Yin." The way Grandmaster Wu Long spoke almost frightened them, some of their complexions turned ugly, making them lower their heads in shame.

Only two Shamans at the corner remained calm and collected.

Tang Wenchong gave their information to Jiang Xiu, "The white-haired person with young looks, wearing straw sandals and holding a calabash is Shaman Nan Kui!"

"Also known as Guangdong province's No. 1 Grand Shaman."

Tang Wenchong then pointed towards a middle-aged man with domineering looks wearing black robes, who also seemed relaxed and experienced, "That's Mao Fang from Lingnan. He has a pretty unique nickname called as Little Master Teacher!"

"These three are known as the Three Southern Friends."

Shaman Wu Long came in front of the soul shrine.

"Mhm!"

He stamped all of a sudden, making a seal with his index fingers, causing the two of them to turn redder. Soon after, he pointed towards the soul shrine which caused it to buzz under the red cloth, faintly seeming as if something inside the soul shrine got provoked.

A light flashed inside the soul shrine, which caused the hall to turn cooler as if the temperature had dropped by 5-6 degrees. It felt like walking into a shopping mall after strolling in the streets during summer.

"This…"

All the Shamans exclaimed with shock, their eyes wide open. They felt an indescribable fear when they looked at the buzzing soul shrine; it gave them goosebumps.

As for Tang Wenchong who didn't understand spells, he was utterly dumbstruck.

"W-What's inside?"

They could feel that there was something inside the soul shrine and it was still living, but this soul shrine was buried underground for over several hundred years so they wondered just what could live for so long.

Shaman Wu Long smiled faintly, a look of ridicule flashing through his gaze. He retrieved his index finger back, after which the soul shrine buzzed twice and then calmed down.

The surroundings had also returned to normal.

The man who had mocked Jiang Xiu before said, "Did you see? That's a genuine Shaman."

The rest of the people there couldn't recover from their shock for quite the long time.

Shaman Wu Long's fame wasn't empty, he indeed possessed real skills. Jiang Xiu studied him over. This Shaman Wu Long indeed possessed magic force. According to the grade divisions in the Immortal Martial Continent, he was roughly in the Qi Refining Stage's 1st Realm. It was the initial cultivation stage possessed by children on the Immortal Martial Continent, but on Earth, it was enough to be considered as a top-notch Shaman."

"Master Wu Long's extraordinary skills have broadened this old man's horizons!" Tang Zhenshan deeply bowed towards Shaman Wu Long. It was clear from this that Old Father Tang revered the strong experts. "Really worthy of the title of Jiangnan's No. 1 Shaman!"

Shaman Wu Long shook his head, "I don't dare to take that title, there are two and another half persons stronger than me."

"Oh, how is it two and another half?"

Tang Zhenshan was quite curious. Though he wasn't a person of the spellcasting circle, he was quite interested towards it and hence liked to have contacts with them.

Since time immemorial, martial arts were egalitarian!

"The first one is naturally that esteemed person from Dongzhou, Liu Dewen, Diviner Liu."

All of the Shaman's present got excited after hearing this name. Even Old Father Tang reacted to it. Liu Dewen came from a traditional inheritance family, his ancestor had once helped lay down the foundations for the country and even he possessed supernatural skills. He was known as one of the top 10 Grand Shamans of the state.

"The second one is White Beard Bai in the Taoyuan Mountain range."

All of the Shamans nodded after hearing this name. White Beard Bai was also a famed Shaman expert. It was just that he was living in the mountains in seclusion for several years already and didn't show his face outside. This person had significant contributions in the war of resistance and had calculated the location of the hostile force's intelligence division and as well as the chief commander's position, killing them both with an artillery barrage. However, hearsay was that this person had passed away.

A Shaman to the side asked, "What about that half?"

Shaman Wu Long said, "As for the remaining half…"

"I just heard from Myriad Base's boss, Qin Weiping, that the Myriad Base City Plaza project had encountered strange events. A Shaman had gone over there, and this Shaman had linked a ritual paper doll of the Dragon King's Shrine to the real Dragon King's Shrine and then set the doll on fire, causing the Dragon King to pour down a heavy rain all over Jiang City. This is something too unusual. We aren't on the same level. This person's dao name is Luoxia, Grandmaster Luoxia."

Shaman Nan Kui and Little Master Teacher who were calm until now were also shocked.

Whoosh!

All of the Shamans present made a commotion.

One of them said, "Isn't this method equal to that legendary Arcane Spellcasting?"

Shaman Wu Long made a solemn face, "Yes!"

Although Tang Zhenshan didn't understand all this, he knew it was an incredible feat, "Since it's this way, why did Master Wu Long only say it's half?"

"Because I didn't see it personally. It's merely gossip, that's all. If I confirm it with my own eyes, it'd mean that everything was true. This Grandmaster Luoxia would be 100 times stronger than me."

"That makes sense!"

Tang Zhenshan nodded, expressing his agreement.

"Huh, right. Where did Director Qin go?"

For quite the long time, the genuine host of this event, Qin Weiping was actually absent. A person said, "Old Father, Director Qin received a call just now, it seems like it was from Young Master Bai, so he went outside."

Tang Zhenshan nodded. It must be due to the matter of Bai Feng suffering under Jiang Xiu.

After that, they all moved towards the dining table set at a distant place. Each of them minded their own business and some food. Deity Xiu was undergoing puberty, so he often felt hungry. His hunger was already at the peak before, and there was no feast after entering inside. He couldn't bear it anymore and so went to the side to eat. He wasn't interested in what the others were discussing.

Jiang Xiu had lived in the Immortal Martial Continent for 3000 years. He had experienced all kinds of scenes, persons, and matters. He was naturally not interested in watching Wu Long's clumsy act.

Shaman Wu Long's gaze fell on the talisman Tang Zhenshan was still holding in his hands. A peculiar gleam flashed through his gaze as he spoke excitedly, "Old Father, can you lend that talisman to me once?"

Tang Zhenshan had no reason to refuse.

Shaman Wu Long held the talisman and looked at it carefully. Shaman Nan Kui as well as the Little Master Teacher also came over and studied the talisman. The three of them exchanged gazes and then nodded, greed flashing in their eyes.

According to their judgment, it was a 'Returning the Soul Fragment to Origin Talisman', which was a rare treasure.

"Old Father, where did you get this talisman from?"

Tang Zhenshan asked, "Why do you ask?"

Shaman Wu Long said, "To tell the truth, this talisman is a 'Returning the Soul Fragment to Origin Talisman'. We lost it a few days ago."
