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

"Snap—"

Qin Ge caught another person, slapped him in the same way, and then threw him into the pond.

The others only realized what was happening when the third person fell into the water with a "plop," and they also grasped the pattern of Qin Ge's actions.

And then, a bizarre scene unfolded.

Before Qin Ge could even make a move, all the other Dongyang people, except for Misako, jumped into the pond without hesitation, vying to be the first to do so.

The opponent's strength is too terrifying; there is simply no way to defeat them, not even a sliver of hope.

Rather than getting slapped and then thrown into the pond, it's better to just give up the will to fight; at least you'll avoid getting slapped once.

Zheng Qiuyi and the others had very interesting expressions, and even Qin Ge was almost at a loss for words.

Indeed, those who know when to yield are the wise ones; these people from Dongyang have learned a good lesson!

In the blink of an eye, all the people from Dongyang had entered the pond, leaving only Misako standing there dumbfounded.

Qin Ge smiled knowingly and walked toward Misako, deliberately slowing his pace.

"You..." Misako's body tensed, and her pretty face showed visible tension.

Her master, Uesugi Yu, could only be beaten one-sidedly in front of Qin Ge, without any power to fight back. As for herself, there was no point in resisting!

Misako had never seen anyone so strong before; their strength was beyond her comprehension.

I just wanted to get to know Jiang Chaoning and kindly greeted her. How did it turn out like this?

Although she seemed to have done nothing wrong and was slapped twice herself, it was a fact that Uesugi Yu and the others hit her, and that could not be denied.

If we look closely, it should be Uesugi Yuichi who provoked them first, right?

What should I do now? Should I apologize first or call for help?

"I...I didn't mean it, it's all a misunderstanding, I'm willing to apologize." As Qin Ge approached, Misako's mind became increasingly confused.

"It wasn't entirely a misunderstanding. I really just wanted to say hello to Miss Jiang at first. She misunderstood me, so..."

"Master Uesugi's way of handling things was indeed inappropriate, but that's just his temperament, and besides, he was trying to protect me..."

"Why didn't you jump?" Qin Ge was too lazy to listen to her explanation; he wasn't interested in the process at all.

"Huh?" Misako glanced towards the pond, where heads were poking out of the water, looking like silly roe deer.

The pool water, which was originally barely clear, has become murky and muddy after they stirred it up and stirred up the silt.

"I..." Misako hesitated for a moment, then pursed her red lips and made up her mind, "I won't jump!"

"You Chinese have a saying: 'A scholar can be killed but not humiliated!'"

"Since you don't want to hear my explanation, and I can't beat you, you can do whatever you want!"

"You've learned quite well, but I'm going to humiliate you anyway!" Qin Ge's face darkened. "You think you can avoid jumping just because you don't want to?"

"Not only will I throw you down, I'll break all your limbs first, so you'll wriggle and burrow in the mud like an eel!"

"You—!" Misako's scalp tingled. She said she would do as she pleased, but her body betrayed her by backing away.

"Don't hurt her!" Jiang Chaoning spread her arms to shield Misako. "Thank you for saving us. I'll repay this favor."

"This outcome is acceptable; let's not hurt anyone anymore!"

"You're pleading for her?" Qin Ge was very surprised. "Don't misunderstand, I didn't intervene to save you. What do your lives have to do with me!"

"If that slut hadn't attacked my Qiuyi just now, I wouldn't have bothered with you guys."

"Of course, there's another important reason: I just don't like them!"

"But it's not impossible for you to plead for her, just give me a convincing reason, or get out of the way, or I'll beat you up too!"

Zheng Qiuyi stared blankly at Qin Ge, her ears burning.

The nonsense he spouted was strangely comforting; the more I looked at him, the more pleasing he seemed.

"The reason is that I want to fight her fair and square!" Jiang Chaoning's eyes were firm. "If you hurt her, how can she fight me?"

"I know I'm no match for her, but I have to fight!"

"If knowing I'm inferior to my opponent makes me lack the courage to even fight, that will be a thorn in my side that I can never get rid of!"

"What nonsense! If you have a thorn in your heart, go see a doctor to have it removed, otherwise it'll get infected!" Qin Ge looked at Misako with interest, then changed the subject, "Is your name really Misako?"

"Misako Amamiya?"

"Yes..." Misako responded subconsciously, looking completely bewildered.

Why did the topic suddenly jump to this? Does he know someone from the Amamiya family?

"What do you mean by this?" Jiang Chaoning was also completely confused.

Qin Ge gestured for him to speak, "Don't interrupt, it's not your turn to speak yet."

"So, Miss Misako, do you have a younger sister?"

"Also, how old is your son now?"

"How did you know?" A flash of surprise crossed Misako's eyes, quickly turning into confusion. "I'm still unmarried, how could I have children?"

"It doesn't match up?" Qin Ge scratched his head and muttered to himself.

That makes sense. This Misako looks to be only twenty-three or twenty-four years old, which is quite different from the plot I know.

She is incredibly beautiful, but unfortunately she's from Dongyang.

"Alright, for Miss Jiang's sake, you can leave!"

Qin Ge waved for Misako to leave, then turned his attention to Jiang Chaoning. "Miss Jiang, remember what you just said? You owe me a favor!"

"I'll ask you for the bill after I've thought about it. Let's talk about something else for now!"

Zheng Qiuyi looked at Jiang Chaoning with sympathy. She had every right to know what it felt like to owe Qin Ge a debt.

"What else do you want to talk about?" Jiang Chaoning didn't seem to care much; she hadn't yet realized the seriousness of the situation.

Qin Ge didn't respond, but just looked at Misako, "Why aren't you leaving yet? Haven't you ever seen a man as handsome as me? Can't you take your leave?"

"No, no!" Misako quickly denied, then pointed towards the pond, "I... can I help them up and take them with me?"

"No way!" Qin Ge refused without even thinking. "Let them keep soaking!"

"If anyone dares to get up before dark, don't blame me for being ruthless if I find out!"

"What's with that expression? If I'm not mistaken, those lackeys were ordered to protect you, right?"

"What's the point of having all that stuff if you abandon your master at a crucial moment?"

Misako looked embarrassed. Judging from the current weather, it was unlikely that anything would happen if they soaked in the water until dark. However, with so many people soaking in the water, it would inevitably become a beautiful sight.

Personal face is a small matter, but damaging Dongyang's reputation is a big deal!
