Chapter 245: Apologize to Mr. Cheng Immediately!
Hu Shishi was certain she was no match for the Fifth Elder.
However, she was now Cheng Yuan’s Sword Attendant. Even if she couldn’t win, she could not retreat!
SHINK! Hu Shishi drew her Treasure Sword and stared coldly at the Fifth Elder. "Back away, or die!"
The bigwigs in the crowd looked at Hu Shishi with newfound respect. Others would flee when disaster struck, but this beautiful woman, knowing full well she was outmatched, still stood up to protect her master!
’What did this kid do to deserve this?’
’To find a Sword Attendant so pure, so beautiful, and so loyal!’
Being berated by a mere Quasi-God, the Fifth Elder’s expression changed instantly. He snarled, "You’re courting death!"
The Fifth Elder showed no mercy, striking viciously at Hu Shishi with his palm!
Wen Zhantian was running at full speed, but he was still too slow. Seeing the Fifth Elder attack, Wen Zhantian roared, "Fifth Brother, stop!"
Hearing Wen Zhantian’s voice, the Fifth Elder quickly tried to pull back his power. But it was too late to stop completely. His palm was just about to print itself on Hu Shishi’s chest!
The Fifth Elder sighed. ’What a pity. Such a pure and beautiful young girl, about to have her life cut short.’
But in the next second, the Fifth Elder’s expression changed dramatically!
Cheng Yuan, who had been standing at the side, leaped up like a ferocious lion!
He delivered a vicious kick toward the Fifth Elder!
Cheng Yuan was too fast. The Fifth Elder had no time to dodge!
BANG!
The Fifth Elder’s palm was less than ten centimeters from Hu Shishi when a large foot slammed heavily into his chest!
WHOOSH!!
Like a cannonball, the Fifth Elder was sent flying backward, crashing through several tables and chairs!
BLECH! The Fifth Elder spat out a mouthful of blood. He stared at Cheng Yuan in utter shock, unable to believe he had just been instantly defeated by a junior in the Divine Realm!
The surrounding crowd gasped in unison, staring at the scene in disbelief. They were so shocked their scalps tingled!
This kid was just a Divine Realm Grandmaster, yet he could instantly defeat someone at Grandmaster Peak? And the power fluctuations radiating from him were no weaker than a Martial King’s!
This was simply unscientific!
Wen Zihua, in particular, was trembling in fear!
After all, a full thirty percent of Cheng Yuan’s aura had been directed at him!
The only reason he hadn’t wet his pants was Wen Zhantian’s presence; Wen Zihua had absolute confidence in him.
Suppressing his fear, Wen Zihua tattled, "This kid injured the Fifth Elder in public and disrupted the herb exchange conference! This can’t be solved by just kicking him out! Third Uncle, I implore you to act personally and execute this villain!"
What Wen Zihua didn’t expect was for his ever-doting Third Uncle to suddenly swing his arm around and slap him hard across the face!
Wen Zhantian didn’t hold back at all. The slap knocked out half of Wen Zihua’s teeth, as if he feared that if the blow wasn’t harsh enough, he wouldn’t be able to earn Cheng Yuan’s forgiveness!
Wen Zihua was stunned by the blow, clutching his cheek in disbelief. "Third Uncle, why did you hit me? It was obviously Cheng Yuan..."
Wen Zhantian cut him off rudely. "Shut your damn mouth! Say one more word of nonsense, and I’ll clean house for the Wen Family!"
’Cheng Yuan is so young, yet he has the strength to kill me. It’s hard to imagine what kind of colossal power could cultivate such a monstrous talent.’
’In any case, he’s not someone our little Wen Family can afford to offend!’
Wen Zhantian couldn’t be bothered with the aggrieved-looking Wen Zihua. He strode over to Cheng Yuan and bowed deeply.
"Mr. Cheng, I have already contacted the Bear Medicine King. There is no problem with your invitation. It was an error in my work that caused you trouble, and for that, I sincerely apologize!"
After speaking, Wen Zhantian yanked Wen Zihua forward and said coldly, "Wen Zihua, the false information you provided nearly caused a disaster! Apologize to Mr. Cheng at once!"
Wen Zihua’s face turned the color of beet root, but under his Third Uncle’s immense pressure, he had no choice but to swallow his humiliation and bow. "Mr. Cheng, it was I who was blind and failed to recognize your greatness. You are a magnanimous man; please forgive my transgressions. Just let me go, as if I were a fart in the wind!"
Cheng Yuan swept a cold, indifferent gaze over Wen Zihua. With his Double Pupil, he could see the well-hidden venom and resentment in Wen Zihua’s heart at a single glance.
Cheng Yuan was absolutely certain that even if he let Wen Zihua go this time, Wen Zihua would find an opportunity for revenge.
’This person must not be allowed to live!’
Of course, Cheng Yuan wouldn’t kill Wen Zihua in public. He had countless ways to kill him secretly, without anyone knowing.
Cheng Yuan waved his hand dismissively. "Young people tend to be hot-headed. As long as we’ve cleared the air, it’s fine. My Sister Shishi also works for Dragon Flame. We’ll be counting on Young Master Wen’s help in the future."
Wen Zihua immediately seized the opportunity to curry favor. "Brother Cheng, you can rest assured. With me around, no one in Dragon Flame will dare bully my sister-in-law. I’ll host a banquet another day to offer you a formal apology. Please, you must not refuse."
"We’re all on the same side now, there’s no need for such a formal apology. I will definitely attend your banquet." (Though it will be a funeral banquet.)
Wen Zihua left with a dark expression. He had lost too much face and was no longer in the mood to continue with the herb exchange conference. He grabbed the little starlet beside him and headed for the exit.
He planned to vent all his pent-up fury on this starlet!
Wen Zhantian knew his eldest nephew well. He quickly caught up and said in a low voice, "Zihua, don’t be impulsive! This kid is strange. Although he’s only a Divine Realm Grandmaster, I can sense power from him that’s no less than a Martial King Late Stage! I don’t have the confidence to defeat him either!"
Wen Zihua sucked in a sharp breath. "Martial King Late Stage? Did that kid start his Cultivation in the womb? Even with me cultivating diligently since childhood, I’m only at Grandmaster Peak at best. Do monstrous talents like him really exist in this world?"
"The crucial thing is, I just did a quick investigation. This kid has been training for less than three years. If you give him another three years, our entire Wen Family will have to bow down to him!"
Wen Zihua’s expression changed. "Then we absolutely cannot let him grow stronger! If he does, won’t we have to live at his mercy for the rest of our lives? One existence like the Old Dragon King is more than enough!"
Wen Zhantian gave a bitter smile. "You have a point. But unless the Old Master acts personally, who in our Wen Family is confident they can eliminate Cheng Yuan?"
"Then have Grandpa take action himself! Or, Grandpa can ask one of his friends to do it."
Wen Zhantian shook his head gently. "The Old Dragon King was the target of many assassination attempts back in the day. After he achieved his enlightenment, he established a rule: unless a member of the younger generation has been crippled, experts at the Emperor Level and above are forbidden from attacking the young!"
Wen Zihua was furious. "The Old Dragon King is too meddlesome! It’s a pity that back then..."
"Shut your mouth!!"
"Yes!"
Wen Zihua was extremely unwilling to be suppressed by Cheng Yuan for the rest of his life. His eyes darted around as he said, "Third Uncle, if a junior *is* crippled by Cheng Yuan, then an Emperor Level expert can take action, right?"
"Of course. But Cheng Yuan isn’t an idiot. Are you willing to let Cheng Yuan cripple you?"
Wen Zihua quickly waved his hands. "Not me, the Young Prince! The Young Prince’s Dantian was destroyed by Cheng Yuan! If Prince Duan finds out about this, he’ll surely explode with thunderous rage and annihilate Cheng Yuan on the spot!"
