I bought a secret manual of the Hehuan Sect for ten yuan.

"You Chinese are so rude!"

"Misako was just greeting you in a friendly manner, did you have to be so hostile?"

"I've always heard that China is a land of etiquette, but now it seems truly disappointing!"

A middle-aged man next to Misako couldn't stand Jiang Chaoning's attitude and retorted directly.

"Master Uesugi, please don't do this."

The man's name was Uesugi Yu, one of Misako's martial arts instructors. He wanted to say something more, but Misako stopped him.

"You Dongyang dog, who gave you the audacity to speak to Chao Ning like that?" Before Jiang Chao Ning could say anything, Zheng Shaoqing exploded, "Apologize to Chao Ning right now and I might let it go, otherwise don't blame me for being impolite!"

Uesugi Isamu sneered and retorted, "Me, apologize to her?"

"She was rude to Misako first, so why should I apologize to her?"

"Don't you Chinese people know any manners, or even right and wrong?"

"Whether it's proper etiquette or not depends on the person!" Zheng Shaoqing gestured, "Yun Yichuan!"

"If he won't apologize, then teach him a lesson by hitting him!"

Uesugi Yu sized up Yun Yichuan, his expression remaining calm. "I don't want to cause trouble on Chinese soil, but if you insist on making a move, then I'm happy to oblige!"

"I have long heard of the profoundness of Chinese martial arts, but this trip to China has truly been disappointing."

He pointed at Jiang Chaoning, "This woman is weaker than Misako, and her mind is so narrow. She's cowardly before even fighting; she'll amount to nothing!"

"Even if someone is an opponent, they should be given the respect they deserve. Even if you lose, you should lose with dignity, especially since we haven't even fought yet."

"As a martial artist, is this all the magnanimity you have? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

"You—!" Jiang Chaoning was speechless, her face flushed red.

She didn't think too much when she said those things to Misako; she just spoke as she pleased.

She spoke without any ulterior motive, but her behavior did indeed seem petty. Uesugi Yu was right, and she couldn't refute him.

"Master Uesugi, please say less." Misako, worried that the two sides might actually come to blows, quickly stepped in front of Uesugi Yu.

She looked at Jiang Chaoning apologetically, "Miss Jiang, my master has a bad temper and his words were too harsh. Please don't take it to heart."

"I thought we were rivals on stage, but we could be friends off stage, so when I saw you here, I took the liberty of saying hello. I didn't mean anything by it."

"Since you don't welcome us, then we won't bother you any longer."

Misako's tone was sincere, neither humble nor arrogant, and she was poised and generous, which made Jiang Chaoning feel even more ashamed.

I wanted to say something but couldn't bring myself to speak, and I felt really bad.

Although Uesugi Yu was very dissatisfied with Zheng Shaoqing's words and actions, he had no choice but to let it go since Misako had said so.

"stop!"

Zheng Shaoqing was not happy. He had finally gotten a chance to show off in front of the goddess, how could he let it go so easily?

"Who let you leave?"

He pointed at Uesugi Yu, "I'm telling you to apologize to Asanami, right now!"

Uesugi Yu stopped and turned around. "Young man, don't go too far!"

"Excessive?" Zheng Shaoqing sneered. "You've offended Chao Ning and still dare to lecture us? You think you're so great?"

"I'm telling you right now, none of you are leaving without an apology!"

"Yun Yichuan, I'll count to three. If they still don't apologize, just start attacking. Don't make me say it a third time!"

"Yes!" Yun Yichuan was inwardly bitter; Zheng Shaoqing was giving him far too much credit.

These people from Dongyang are all martial artists, and each of them is quite skilled. If it really came down to a fight, he had absolutely no confidence in the matter!

Once you've taken the money to do something for someone, no matter how much pressure you're under, you can only grit your teeth and agree.

"three!"

"two!"

"one!"

"Get them! Slap them both twice, teach them a lesson!"

"Zheng Shaoqing, are you out of your mind...?"

Jiang Chaoning didn't expect Zheng Shaoqing to be serious. When she sensed something was wrong and tried to stop him, Yun Yichuan had already made his move.

Uesugi Yu remained calm and composed. He was prepared and had already roughly known Yun Yichuan's strength when they first met. He felt that he could not possibly lose!

However, he was dumbfounded the next second.

"Slap slap—"

Two crisp slaps rang out, leaving everyone stunned.

Yun Yichuan was intelligent from a young age. He couldn't discern the true strength of Uesugi Yu and believed that he was likely no match for him.

So when he made his move, he had already planned it out in his mind. He pretended to attack Uesugi Yu, but suddenly changed direction halfway and went straight for Misako.

You have to pick the softest persimmon to squeeze. Uesugi Yu might not be able to beat him, but Misako is a piece of cake for him.

Anyway, Zheng Shaoqing didn't say who to hit first, so whose slap isn't a slap?

This sudden turn of events caught everyone off guard, leaving them completely bewildered.

Misako stood there, stunned, unable to believe that she had just been slapped twice.

Jiang Chaoning was so embarrassed that she wanted to disappear on the spot. She desperately wished she had never met Zheng Shaoqing and his group!

Even Zheng Shaoqing, who is usually thick-skinned, couldn't save face. What on earth is Yun Yichuan up to?!

"Shameless!"

Uesugi Yu was furious, and the other people from Dongyang, except for Misako, were equally enraged. They disregarded everything else and rushed forward.

Misako is a very noble young lady in Dongyang. These people are there to ensure her personal safety. Even Uesugi Yu is only nominally her master, but in reality, he is also playing the role of a bodyguard.

Now that Misako has been beaten, how can they not be angry and anxious?

It's clear that Yun Yichuan miscalculated.

He saw that Misako called Uesugi Yuu "Master" and that she was the weakest among the Dongyang people, so he thought she was the most insignificant one, just someone with a pretty face.

No one else is as good as her at picking the easy targets.

Even Uesugi Yuichi alone could not withstand the combined attack from Yun Yichuan, and the outcome was self-evident.

He only managed to parry a few rounds before Uesugi Yu sent him flying, spitting out blood.

Uesugi Yu had no intention of letting him go so easily. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of him and grabbed him by the neck.

"Don't kill him!" Misako was stunned by the two slaps and only came to her senses when she saw Uesugi Yuu fiercely restraining Yun Yichuan. She quickly spoke up to stop him.

"OK!"

"You people from Dongyang dare to injure people on Chinese soil! How do you plan to explain yourselves!"

"Our Zheng family will not let this matter rest!"

Zheng Shaoqing also came to his senses. He was really willing to go all out for his goddess. Even at a time like this, he still dared to say such tough words.

"Slap slap—"

Uesugi Yu raised his hand and slapped Zheng Shaoqing twice, then struck him on the right shoulder.

Zheng Shaoqing's body could not withstand the force, his knees buckled and he knelt down. The force had not completely dissipated, and his upper body crashed to the ground.
