Chapter 36: Chapter 36: Dragon Soaring Manor
The look Chen Qingdi had given them was just too intimidating. It had filled them with a sense of utter fear and despair on the spot!
"They certainly know how to read the room."
After saying this, Chen Qingdi turned to look at Xu Aozhen.
Just then, Chen Qingdi shot out his hand and grabbed Xu Aozhen.
"My fists are itching, and I just so happen to need a punching bag. Why don’t you do the honors?"
A sinister smile spread across Chen Qingdi’s face as he spoke to Xu Aozhen.
Hearing this, Xu Aozhen instantly knew what Chen Qingdi was planning.
’He’s going to torture me to death!’
He was just an ordinary person, whereas Chen Qingdi was a Martial Artist. If he took even one punch from him, he’d be crippled, if not killed outright.
"I was wrong, Young Master Chen! Please, spare me!"
"I’ll never dare to cross you again!"
Xu Aozhen begged Chen Qingdi for mercy.
Chen Qingdi, however, ignored him completely, his grip tightening considerably.
Xu Aozhen found it difficult to breathe, struggling to get any air.
Just then, Chen Qingdi suddenly flung him away. He then walked over to Xu Aozhen and planted a foot on his body.
"I’ll ask you this. I beat your men and crushed your arrogance. Do you submit?"
Chen Qingdi asked him then and there.
"I submit, I submit!"
"I submit!"
Hearing this, Xu Aozhen didn’t dare refute Chen Qingdi. He pressed his face to the ground, repeating the words over and over.
"I’ll ask you again. Of the five helpers you hired, one is dead, one is maimed, and three are crippled. Do you hold no resentment?"
Chen Qingdi asked again.
By this point, Xu Aozhen was so terrified by Chen Qingdi’s aura that he had wet himself. How could he possibly dare to talk back?
"No resentment! None at all! They deserved to die! To die by your hand is their greatest honor!"
Xu Aozhen answered Chen Qingdi, his voice filled with terror.
"Hm, I’m quite satisfied with your answer. In that case, I’ll let you live."
CRACK!
Chen Qingdi stomped down. Instantly, Xu Aozhen was on the ground, clutching his legs and rolling in agony.
What Chen Qingdi had just stomped on were his legs.
He had crushed them completely, leaving no chance for them to heal.
No one could endure the heart-piercing, bone-deep agony of having their bones shattered.
Especially not an ordinary person like Xu Aozhen. He couldn’t handle this level of pain at all!
"AHHH! Chen Qingdi, you lied to me!"
"Chen Qingdi, you’re so cruel! Give me back my legs!"
Xu Aozhen’s face was twisted in pain, yet he still managed to spout such arrogant nonsense.
Seeing this, Chen Qingdi’s interest was piqued. He walked right up to him.
"You’re in this state, and you’re still trying to act tough with me, huh?"
Chen Qingdi let out a malicious laugh and slapped him across the face.
SLAP!
The crisp sound of the slap echoed on the spot.
Xu Aozhen spat a tooth out of his mouth.
But it wasn’t over. Did he really think he could get away so easily after offending Chen Qingdi?
Chen Qingdi followed up with a dozen more slaps, beating Xu Aozhen until he was completely dazed.
He never imagined Chen Qingdi could be this terrifying.
He was nothing like the scum he had dealt with in the past.
To Chen Qingdi, dealing with him was as easy as crushing an ant!
Just as Chen Qingdi was about to strike again, an extremely powerful aura suddenly surged toward him.
Chen Qingdi swiftly dodged it and turned to see who had attacked him.
And there, Chen Qingdi saw a young man in a blood-red robe who had suddenly appeared beside Xu Aozhen.
Upon seeing the blood-robed youth, Xu Aozhen became ecstatic, flailing his arms and legs as he hugged the man’s thigh.
But because Chen Qingdi had slapped his face until it was swollen like a pig’s head, he couldn’t speak, which made for a comical sight.
"Useless trash. Don’t say anything, I know."
The blood-robed youth replied, pulling him to his feet.
"You’re Chen Qingdi, right? You’re certainly worthy of being that old monster’s disciple. But since you dared to do this to someone from my Xu Family, you just wait for our revenge."
"Heh, the Blood Robe Building and the Xu Family won’t let you off the hook."
After the youth disappeared with Xu Aozhen, Chen Qingdi remained completely unfazed.
He had sensed the youth’s aura earlier, but he hadn’t wanted to let on.
He was waiting for the youth to show himself.
Chen Qingdi just never expected he would wait until Xu Aozhen was on the brink of death before intervening.
’It seems the Xu Family isn’t very united internally,’ Chen Qingdi thought to himself.
Then, Chen Qingdi walked up to Yi Xuesha and gave her an order.
"Go take my adoptive father and mother home. I’ll send you the address in a moment."
"As for you three, get over here!"
Hearing Chen Qingdi’s command, Yi Xuesha immediately walked into the chemical plant.
The three men in black, however, walked before Chen Qingdi in utter terror.
"Long San, with my younger brother and sister, greets Master!"
The burly man in black immediately knelt before Chen Qingdi, speaking in a fawning tone.
"Oh? You certainly know how to play your cards."
Chen Qingdi grinned. He found himself appreciating the burly man before him and saw his potential.
"You’re not bad. From now on, you’ll follow Chen Yuan."
With that said, Chen Qingdi left without a backward glance.
Back at Dragon Soaring Manor, Chen Qingdi hadn’t even had a chance to sit down before he was pulling Ye Shi Yi toward a room.
"Hey, Qingdi, what are you doing?"
Ye Shi Yi asked, feeling a little flustered.
"Sis, don’t worry about it for now. Just come inside with me."
Chen Qingdi’s tone left no room for argument as he pulled Ye Shi Yi inside.
Seeing how impatient Chen Qingdi was, Ye Shi Yi’s mind immediately jumped to *that*.
’Could it be... he’s going to... with me...’
At this thought, Ye Shi Yi’s face instantly turned red, looking just like a crimson apple.
’But he’s my little brother... I...’
Ye Shi Yi stood by the bed, touching her own face and looking at Chen Qingdi shyly.
’But he’s helped me so much, and he’s been treating my illness all this time... I guess it wouldn’t be completely out of the question...’
By now, Ye Shi Yi’s mind was in a complete mess, and she just stood there, stunned.
"Sis, go rest on the bed for a bit. I’ll call you when I’m done refining the elixir."
Chen Qingdi gave the instruction and walked out.
"Huh? Chen Qingdi, wait..."
Ye Shi Yi was about to say something, but before she could get a word out, Chen Qingdi was already gone.
’Looks like I completely misunderstood. Oh, god, that’s so embarrassing!’
Ye Shi Yi threw herself onto the bed. After kicking off her shoes, she revealed a pair of snow-white legs and kicked them in the air again and again, burying her face in a pillow.
