Cold as Ice: Bei Yuan, would you like to come in and sit down?
Snap!
Even the so-called Young Master Chu could not escape the fate of being pinned to the ground and shackled with iron chains.
His enormous body, weighing nearly 300 pounds, was several sizes larger than that of an ordinary person. The iron shackles dug into his neck, making his small, beady eyes widen in surprise, and he found it difficult to even breathe.
These fine iron shackles are specially prepared for "cultivators" who have committed offenses. Once worn, their cultivation will be sealed and their physical strength suppressed.
The young master of the Chu family no longer had the greedy look he had just had. His round, greasy face was filled with fear and despair, like a fat pig about to be served at a banquet.
"Young Master Chen, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! I didn't know Miss Leng was one of your people, otherwise I wouldn't dare to offend you even if you gave me ten lives!"
"It was all those bastards from the Leng family who deliberately sabotaged things. It was all their doing!"
"Young Master Chen, Young Master Chen, I'm from the Chu family, related to Second Young Master Qin. Please give me a chance, please give me a chance! I'm willing to kowtow and apologize to Miss Leng, kowtow..."
At this moment, Chu Suiyuan was almost driven mad with fear.
If he knew that Young Master Chen was still involved with this woman, he wouldn't dare to have any ideas even if he had a hundred lives!
At this moment, he hurriedly brought out his biggest backer, hoping to be spared his life.
Second Young Master Qin?
The Qin family of Donghua!
Another top-tier family!
However, the black-robed man who was in charge of the attack showed no mercy. Instead, he delivered a powerful punch, instantly flattening the fat, oily face, and blood gushed out like a fountain...
Bang! Bang! Bang!
After several consecutive iron punches, the eldest son of the Chu family could barely breathe, and his obese body convulsed uncontrollably...
The man in black robes didn't care about any of that bullshit Qin family's second young master.
They were members of the Chen family, received their salaries from the Chen family, and were provided with food, drink, and other necessities by the Chen family.
Soon, the Leng family members and the eldest son of the Chu family were all dragged away by the men in black robes.
Their next fate would be to be sent to the front lines to reclaim wasteland and contribute to the empire.
As for the corpses of the "deserters" on the ground, and the bloodstains all over the ground?
Don't worry, someone will come and clean it up.
Leng Ruobing stared blankly at the bloody scene unfolding before her, breathing in the thick stench of blood in the air. Her hands gripped the hem of her clothes, her heart pounding wildly, as if she hadn't yet come to her senses.
At her feet lay a corpse with its skull shattered and brains splattered.
Just now, Third Uncle's son went berserk and lunged at her, only to have his head smashed open by the man in black...
Everything happened so fast!
She didn't even realize they were almost there.
Just a moment ago, she was being threatened by the Leng family, who wanted to sell her.
The next moment, Chen Beiyuan appeared like a divine warrior, sweeping away the Leng family like trash with just a single sentence.
The young master of the Chu family, who coveted her, was beaten so badly that he could barely breathe. If he were sent to the front lines, he would probably only be used as "bait."
"Is this the power of power? A single word can change the fate of countless people."
Leng Ruobing stared blankly at that familiar figure, momentarily becoming somewhat infatuated.
Isn't this exactly what she's always wanted?
Throughout the entire process, Chen Beiyuan's expression remained unchanged, with a faint smile still on his face.
No matter how bloody or tragic the scene before him was, it could not move him.
He only nodded slightly in acknowledgment when the leading man in black robes bowed to him.
Staring blankly at Chen Beiyuan, she subconsciously ignored the cloaked figure beside her.
She had no idea that the cloaked figure was none other than her long-lost mother.
An Biyu.
...
Damn it!
Hiding in the shadows, Lin Xiao clenched his fists, taking in everything in front of him, his face full of resentment.
Why!
Why!
It's that damned Chen Beiyuan again!
During this time, he was naturally aware of Leng Ruobing's difficult situation. He even knew perfectly well that the Leng family members were having an affair with the eldest son of the Chu family.
The reason he hadn't made a move yet, and even deliberately fueled the flames, was that he hoped to appear at the last moment and save Leng Ruobing from her predicament.
In this way, he could gain Leng Ruobing's gratitude to the greatest extent possible, and perhaps even get her body.
Despite this, he had betrayed Leng Ruobing multiple times before.
Yet, in his heart, there still lingered feelings of love and guilt towards Leng Ruobing...
He had already planned everything out; if he succeeded, he would surely win the heart of the beauty.
But at the last moment, that damned bastard Chen Beiyuan beat him to it.
...
"From now on, no one will bother you anymore."
Chen Beiyuan spoke calmly.
Even though Leng Ruobing wouldn't have been in any trouble this time even if he hadn't come—after all, he had specially assigned people to protect her—An Biyu still wanted to come and take one last look before leaving.
So, to appease An Biyu, he came over in person.
Moreover, his appearance was undoubtedly a silent deterrent, enough to make Leng Ruobing unapproachable again.
Now that he has fulfilled his promise, he will naturally not linger here any longer.
"Let's go!"
He patted An Biyu, who was wearing a black cloak, next to him, and then prepared to leave with his men.
An Biyu trembled. Her face and expression were obscured by the black cloak, but her cold and alluring eyes looked at her daughter's figure with a complex expression.
It wasn't the right time for her to meet Leng Ruobing, given the awkwardness of her current relationship with Chen Beiyuan...
Should I tell my daughter that I became a mistress to the man who once pursued her...?
Perhaps, all of this can only be explained when the right opportunity arises.
However, just as she was preparing to leave with Chen Beiyuan.
"etc!"
Leng Ruobing's gaze lingered for a moment on the figure in the black cloak, feeling a strange sense of familiarity, yet unable to pinpoint its source...
Maybe it's just my imagination!
This must be one of Bei Yuan's subordinates.
Her gaze shifted from the cloaked figure to Chen Beiyuan, who had stopped and turned to look at her. Her face seemed somewhat unnatural, a slight blush rising to her cheeks. She tried her best to appear calm, but her voice trembled as she spoke:
"Bei Yuan, since you're here, would you like to come in and have a seat?"
Would you like to come in and have a seat?
Chen Beiyuan's eyes instantly turned playful. He gave her a deep look, and then, looking at An Biyu, who was standing stiffly beside him, a meaningful smile appeared on his lips.
Since they've been so warmly and proactively inviting him, it would be impolite for him to refuse.
He glanced meaningfully in the direction where Lin Xiao was hiding.
"Alright!"
