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

"Zheng Zhanming!"

"What do you mean? Are you deliberately picking a fight?"

Zheng Shaoqing stood up. "Knowing we're here, you still insisted on having this private room. Don't go too far!"

Zheng Zhanming raised his eyelids slightly, not even glancing at Zheng Shaoqing. "Shaoqing, it's only been a few days, and your temper has gotten worse!"

"Do you think I'm as idle as you, playing such pointless tricks?"

"I requested a private room to entertain my distinguished guest. As you know, private room number one here is quite special; only this room is befitting the status of my honored guest!"

"Wouldn't it be disrespectful and impolite to change to another private room?"

"If this displeases our valued guests and causes the cooperation to fall through, will you take responsibility?"

"As a member of the Zheng family, is this all the awareness you have? You don't even understand how to make way for the interests of the Zheng family?"

"Is your family gathering more important than the Zheng family discussing cooperation?"

He smiled at Zheng Hongye, "Second Uncle, am I right?"

Zheng Shaoqing was stunned for a while, then looked up suspiciously at the person behind Zheng Zhanming, "Where is the distinguished guest you mentioned? I haven't seen him."

"Don't give me that nonsense. Don't I know you?"

"We're currently entertaining important guests, and this private room is unavailable. If you're willing to wait, then you'll have to!"

"Distinguished guests?" Zheng Zhanming smiled mockingly, looking each person in the private room up and down. "Qiu Yi is here too?"

Finally, his gaze fell on Qin Ge. "Shaoqing, the distinguished guest you mentioned wouldn't be this young man, would it?"

"That's interesting. I wonder what kind of distinguished guest this is, that you and your family of three would be accompanying them?"

"Could it be that Qiu Yi has a boyfriend and you two are meeting up for dinner here?"

"Such high-ranking officials, it seems you value him quite a bit. I wonder which family's young master this is? He looks a bit unfamiliar to me."

"From the countryside?"

Qin Ge had barely raised his hand when Zheng Qiuyi pressed it down firmly with both hands. "Don't do anything rash, let my brother handle it."

Even if her brother can't handle it, there's still her father. No matter how lawless Zheng Zhanming is, he should at least give his elders some face, right?

If Qin Ge intervenes, things will get much bigger, and it might even escalate to Grandpa's level!

"I don't need to explain myself to you!" Zheng Shaoqing walked towards the door. "I said you're a distinguished guest, so you're a distinguished guest. Don't blame me for not warning you; if you speak rudely again, you'll have to bear the consequences yourself!"

"If you have time to cause trouble here, why don't you find a cool place to stay? We've almost finished eating by the time you've been here!"

He gestured, "Please, don't bother us again until we have dinner!"

Qin Ge narrowed her eyes slightly. This Zheng Shaoqing really is incorrigible!

"Snap—"

Zheng Zhanming raised his hand and slapped Zheng Shaoqing across the face. "Zheng Shaoqing, who gave you the audacity to talk to me like that?"

"I spoke to you so politely, did I give you the time of day?"

"Have I been too nice to you lately, making you forget who you are?"

"You dare hit me?" Zheng Shaoqing was stunned by the blow. "Zheng Zhanming, don't be so arrogant. Don't think I won't do anything to you!"

"Do you think you can do whatever you want just because Grandpa spoils you?"

"The distinguished guests we are entertaining are not people you can afford to offend, nor are they people the Zheng family can afford to antagonize!"

"Snap—"

Zheng Zhanming slapped him again with his backhand, "Zheng Shaoqing, haven't I hit you enough?"

"I've beaten you up countless times since you were a kid, what can you do about it?"

"If you're so capable, then fight back! Do you even have the guts?"

"Zhanming, stop fooling around here!" Zheng Hongye said with a dark face. "Shaoqing is right, we are indeed entertaining distinguished guests!"

"You should leave now. I will explain everything to my elder brother about today's events!"

"Second Uncle, it's not that I don't want to leave, it's just that I have no choice!" Zheng Zhanming pretended to be in a difficult position. "If I were to eat by myself, it would be much easier. I can even accept street food."

"But isn't this for entertaining distinguished guests?"

"Without this private room, if the cooperation falls through, who will take responsibility? I can't very well ask you, Uncle, to take the blame for me, can I?"

Zheng Hongye clenched his fists, but his facial expression remained largely unchanged. "I'll take responsibility..."

"Zheng Zhanming!" Qin Ge stood up. Zheng Qiuyi tried to hold him down by his arm, but she ended up hanging on Qin Ge's arm with her feet off the ground.

"You're so annoying, your words will affect your height, don't you know that?"

Before Zheng Zhanming could respond, he looked at Zheng Hongye and said, "Mr. Zheng, this kid is giving you a compliance test, can't you tell?"

"What's the point of just enduring it?"

"Maybe Zheng Hongyin had already instructed his scoundrel son to make things as difficult for your family as possible whenever he had the chance."

"As long as you can't tolerate the retaliation, he'll have an excuse to do more. After all, he's the head of the family, so it's understandable that he wants to have a legitimate reason for his actions."

"Mr. Zheng, how many times do you think you can evade this?"

"This..." Zheng Hongye didn't know how to respond for a moment. Of course, he understood what Qin Ge was saying.

But now that the power of the Zheng family is completely in Zheng Hongyin's hands, what else can he do but hide his talents?

To say he's hiding his talents would be narcissistic; he truly is unskilled now.

"Who are you?" Zheng Zhanming stared at Qin Ge, his gaze sharp as a knife. "Do you know who I am?"

"Do you know what the consequences will be for what you just said?"

"I'm from the Shadow Martial Arts Hall!" Qin Ge walked slowly towards Zheng Zhanming. "Weren't you acting all high and mighty just now?"

"If you don't believe me, try hitting me."

"Shadow Martial Hall?" Zheng Zhanming paused for a moment, then looked Qin Ge up and down suspiciously before bursting into laughter.

"Zheng Shaoqing, where did you find this clown?"

"Does he think he can intimidate me by bringing out the Shadow Martial Arts Hall?"

He was also a martial artist, although he only had the cultivation level of the Profound Realm, but he still had a certain foundation and a certain understanding of the Shadow Martial Hall.

Even the people sweeping the floor in the Shadow Martial Hall are martial artists, but in his own judgment, Qin Ge is not a martial artist at all!

"You're laughing like an idiot!"

"You fucking asked for it!"

Enraged, Zheng Zhanming raised his hand and slapped Qin Ge across the face.

"Click—"

"Click—"

Two sharp cracks followed by a bloodcurdling scream.

With both legs broken, Zheng Zhanming thrashed and trembled on the ground, his eyes filled with terror and disbelief.

"I told you your annoying way of talking will affect your height, but you just wouldn't believe me."

"But if you buy a higher wheelchair later, there might still be a chance to save him!"

As Qin Ge spoke, he beckoned to Dong Jin, who was standing there dumbfounded, "I don't like dogs that bare their teeth at their masters, even if you're acting on the orders of another master."

"You're not my dog, so I shouldn't be bothering you, but I saw you baring your teeth, and it made me feel uncomfortable."
