Chapter 224

"Manager Chen, I didn't say anything bad about you. Why are you staring at me like that? You're scaring me."

Ling Xiaoxiao hugged the arm of the man beside her and rubbed her chest against his body.

"Qingshuang, what's wrong with your man? His expression is so ugly. Did I say something wrong?"

She then looked at Ye Qingshuang and mocked.

"He's not my man."

Ye Qingshuang's beautiful eyes were filled with anger. If not for Gu Chen sealing her cultivation, she would have the urge to attack him.

She had always cherished her reputation and never got too close to any man. Today, Ling Xiaoxiao had spouted nonsense. What would others say about her if word got out?

She could already feel the mocking gazes of many scions and daughters of rich families. It was as if they had finally found something to use against her and were gloating over her misfortune.

"Ah, Qingshuang, that's not right. Although Chen Gu is just a small manager, you can't not give him face."

Ling Xiaoxiao shook her head.

"You better shut up."

Gu Chen was annoyed by her, so he interrupted her.

Ling Xiaoxiao immediately looked at the man beside her with a wronged expression. "Brother Zhu, he asked me to shut up."

"This is Chuyun Restaurant, not your house. Xiaoxiao can say whatever she wants. What can you do?"

Zhu Yilun's tone was extremely arrogant and his eyes were filled with disdain.

Gu Chen was furious. Just as he was about to flare up, Ye Qingshuang pulled him back.

"Ignore them. The more that bitch talks to her, the more arrogant she gets. Don't forget the purpose of today's visit."

She said in a low voice.

The anger in Gu Chen's heart was greatly reduced. He looked at Ye Qingshuang in shock.

He had known this arrogant woman since he was young. Given her character, when would she be able to endure such humiliation?

Back then, when he refused to enter True Martial Academy with her, she was so angry that she wanted to kill him. Now that her reputation was being tarnished in public, she actually endured it and even tried to persuade him.

"I'm not the only one who has changed in a year."

Gu Chen murmured in his heart. Sure enough, the environment could change a person. Even the most arrogant person was no exception.

Since Ye Qingshuang could endure it, how could Gu Chen not be able to endure this mere verbal ridicule?

There was no need for him to complicate matters with the purpose of this trip.

"I won't bicker with you today."

Gu Chen glanced at them coldly and walked to the side with Ye Qingshuang.

For a moment, many students, both upstairs and downstairs, let out contemptuous laughter.

"You don't even have the courage to fight back after being humiliated like this."

When Mu Ziyu saw this scene through the window, he was greatly disappointed.

"How could Junior Sister Lanchu like such a man?"

When Ling Xiaoxiao saw that Gu Chen and Ye Qingshuang had actually retreated, she felt extremely happy in her heart. She didn't want to let them off just like that.

This kind of opportunity was too rare. She wanted to stomp on Ye Qingshuang so hard that she would never be able to raise her head in the academy again!

"Manager Chen, if I may be so bold as to ask, how did you enter Chuyun Restaurant?"

Gu Chen couldn't help but stop in his tracks.

"Chuyun Restaurant has been booked for today's gathering at Clear Breeze Villa. Not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can enter."

"Manager Chen, why didn't you stay in the library and came here instead? I'm afraid you don't know your place properly."

Her clear voice spread throughout the surroundings. Immediately, a few people chimed in.

"That's right. This place isn't a place anyone can enter. Hmph! Get out! "

"It's most likely that slut Ye Qingshuang brought him in. Who's in charge of guarding the door? Chase the both of them out!"

The person who spoke was either someone who had pursued Ye Qingshuang in the past and had a grudge against her, or someone who was purely adding insult to injury.

The two of them instantly became the target of public criticism and were in a sorry state.

Gu Chen turned around and strode towards Ling Xiaoxiao.

Since he had swallowed the insult in exchange for the other party going overboard, he would teach her a lesson today!

This time, Ye Qingshuang didn't stop him. She glared hatefully at Ling Xiaoxiao.

"Ah, Brother Zhu, I'm scared."

Ling Xiaoxiao immediately hid behind Zhu Yilun. Zhu Yilun walked out with a face full of disdain.

"What? Do you want to fight in Chuyun Restaurant?"

"I advise you to get out of here if you know what's good for you. Otherwise …"

Slap!

Before he could finish speaking, Gu Chen walked in front of him and gave him a slap, causing his voice to stop.

The slap was too clear and direct. All the students in Chuyun Restaurant were momentarily stunned. Absolute silence!

Zhu Yilun was also stunned. Half of his face quickly swelled and bruised. However, compared to the pain, the humiliation was even more unbearable for him!

He was considered a reputable person in True Martial Arts Academy, and his reputation among the students wasn't low.

However, he had actually been slapped by a mere manager. How embarrassing would it be if word got out!

"Looks like you're tired of living today."

Zhu Yilun's lips curled into a cold smile. His eyes were as sinister as a poisonous snake.

A murderous aura that could only be tempered through a large number of bloody battles overflowed from his body, causing the temperature in Chuyun Restaurant to drop rapidly!

"Get out of my way. Otherwise, the next slap won't be so easy."

Gu Chen said coldly.

After all, he was in the academy, and he had a mission to complete. He had restrained himself with that slap just now. Otherwise, with his extraordinary strength, he could have sent this guy flying out of Chuyun Restaurant with one slap!

"In this True Martial Arts Academy, you're the first person who dares to slap me, Zhu Yilun, like this."

Zhu Yilun revealed a cruel expression, and a strong aura surged from his body.

His cultivation was slightly higher than Ye Qingshuang's, reaching the peak of the middle stage of Nirvana realm!

When Gu Chen, who was about to let him fly, heard the other party's name, his eyes revealed a surprised expression.

"You're Zhu Yilun? From Qingzhou's Zhu family? "

His eyes flickered.

"Why? You don't dare to make a move?"

Zhu Yilun's lips curled into a sneer.

Gu Chen smiled and gave him a meaningful look. Then, he used his Divine Sense to transmit his voice and said a few words to him.

After hearing that, Zhu Yilun's expression changed several times, and he looked at Gu Chen in shock.

"Chen Gu …"

He muttered a few words, and his expression turned ugly.

"Brother Zhu, what's wrong? Why do you look so pale all of a sudden?"

Ling Xiaoxiao stepped forward and asked in shock.

Wasn't he going to teach Chen Gu a lesson on her behalf? Why did he look like this before he even made a move?

"What do you want me to do?"

He suddenly raised his head and asked Gu Chen in awe, as if he had forgotten about the slap just now.

"You know very well."

Gu Chen glanced at Ling Xiaoxiao.

Zhu Yilun could not help but take a deep breath. He suddenly turned around and slapped Ling Xiaoxiao, who was asking about her well-being!

That slap was too loud and too sudden. Ling Xiaoxiao's fair face instantly turned red and swollen, and she could not help but be stunned.

She was not the only one who was stunned. Many students in Chuyun Restaurant were also stunned. Mu Ziyu was stunned, and so was Ye Qingshuang.

Only Gu Chen stood with his hands behind his back, as if it was only natural.
