Chapter 155: Chapter 157: Colluding with Each Other

In the dance floor, only Fang Yi and Lin Mengyan were present, their steps sometimes slow, and sometimes intense; sometimes graceful and sometimes wild like a storm, leaving the onlookers utterly astonished.

Lin Mengyan, being a wealthy heiress and the second most beautiful woman in Moon City, was undoubtedly skilled in dance. Not only did she excel in literature, arts, and music, but she had also been instructed by renowned professional teachers. With her graceful and delicate curves, she danced like a butterfly, beautifully and effortlessly.

However, when it came to Fang Yi, many in the crowd believed he was not worthy to dance with Lin Mengyan, feeling it insulted her. Yet, at this moment, Fang Yi’s performance was so remarkable that it forcibly shut the spectators’ mouths.

At that moment, there was a vague sense among the crowd that the pair in the dance floor were well-matched.

However!

Just then, a punch swiftly targeted at Fang Yi’s back.

Amid the gentle and melodious music, the punch came with a fierce whoosh. The attacker was incredibly fast, and the fist was about to strike the back of Fang Yi’s head in an instant!

But Fang Yi remained calm. Suddenly, he grabbed Lin Mengyan’s entire delicate body by the waist, stepped into an eight-trigram pattern, and his body swayed back and forth like a bobblehead.

The fist missed him. Fang Yi set Lin Mengyan down and turned to face the assailant.

"Bai Kuang," Lin Mengyan’s eyes narrowed sharply.

"Bai Kuang?"

"Bai Mingqi’s brother, a practitioner of martial arts with high proficiency. It’s rumored that he once killed a large bull by himself," Lin Mengyan explained.

Killing a bull single-handedly seemed like a tall tale, but Bai Kuang’s presence there made it seem plausible and not to be underestimated.

"You step aside," Fang Yi said as the blood within him began to boil.

"Be careful," Lin Mengyan remarked quietly, as she stepped away.

The tall man with a dense beard approached Fang Yi, looking down from above and said, "Kid, not a bad move dodging my punch there."

"I could assume that was a sneak attack, right?" Fang Yi said indifferently, neither angry nor annoyed.

"Haha! What if it was a sneak attack! You dared to bully my brother, I’ll make sure you know not to mess with the Bai Family," Bai Kuang said coldly, taking another two steps towards Fang Yi.

True to his name, Bai Kuang, who had an imposing demeanor like a mountain, exuded a fierce aura.

Just then, a woman stepped forward and said coldly, "The Bai Family really likes to throw their weight around. Bai Kuang, if you dare to lift a hand again, don’t blame me for calling someone to deal with you."

Dressed in simple and elegant blue, Kong Qingci stood next to Fang Yi, stunning the crowd once more.

"What kind of influence does Fang Yi have? Not only has he won Lin Mengyan’s heart, but even Kong Qingci speaks up for him."

"Does he really have such charisma?"

"There’s going to be a good show."

The crowd murmured in low voices, both surprised and anticipative about Kong Qingci’s involvement.

They knew Bai Mingqi’s brother Bai Kuang was extremely protective, and Bai Kuang’s reputation was not any less than Bai Mingqi’s; he established his name through his fists and rarely met an equal.

"Miss Kong, please step aside," Fang Yi whispered.

Kong Qingci, with her back to him, shook her head, saying, "You are my friend, I cannot simply watch you be bullied."

Fang Yi remained silent, Kong Qingci’s gesture deeply touched him.

"Kong Qingci, do you really want to oppose me for such a weakling?" Bai Kuang challenged, his eyes like swords, coldly speaking.

"Your realms of martial arts are not the same, you’re picking on someone weaker here, and this isn’t the place for fighting. Perhaps, pick another day and another place to fight," Kong Qingci remarked.

Bai Kuang’s expression changed, then he said, "Fine! Fang Yi, one week from now, at Broken Dragon Mountain in Moon City, do you dare to come?"

Fang Yi stepped forward, standing shoulder to shoulder with Kong Qingci, and calmly said, "No consideration of life or death?"

Bai Kuang was taken aback, then sneered, "What a ’life and death not accounted!’ I have the same intention. All the people here are witnesses, Fang Yi, I’m waiting for you to come and deliver yourself to death."

Fang Yi responded, "Maybe it will be you whom I kill; that’s also uncertain."

Bai Kuang furrowed his brows and said in a deep voice, "Truly arrogant, but arrogant people generally don’t end well. Fang Yi, when the time comes, I will make you beg for life and yet unable to die."

After saying this, Bai Kuang turned and left.

"Brother, you are going to have a mortal duel with him. Is this really okay?" Bai Mingqi said.

Bai Kuang laughed loudly and patted Bai Mingqi on the shoulder, saying, "Little brother, don’t worry. He is only at the Human Level Fourth Tier, while I am at the Human Level Eighth Tier. Defeating him will be a piece of cake. By then, I will torture him properly, cripple his limbs, and let him know that provoking anyone from the Bai Family doesn’t end well."

...

The news of the life and death duel that Fang Yi and Bai Kuang agreed upon spread throughout the entire estate like the wind. There were many people around, and with many as witnesses just now, naturally, it was impossible to hide.

"Bai Kuang is a combat maniac. That Fang Yi actually dared to set up a mortal duel with Bai Kuang. He’s clearly seeking death."

"This Fang Yi is just another stepping stone for Bai Kuang."

"I must go and watch when the time comes. Fang Yi will surely be tortured to death."

"Bai Kuang is invincible in battle. Fang Yi is definitely doomed."

Everywhere there were such discussions, very pessimistic about Fang Yi. They had already determined the outcome and believed that Fang Yi was undoubtedly doomed to lose.

Lin Mengyan came over with a guilty expression and said, "I’m sorry."

However, Fang Yi just smiled and said, "No need to apologize. In fact, I should thank you."

Lin Mengyan did not understand.

"I came here just to draw hatred. The more hatred I draw, the happier I am," said Fang Yi.

Lin Mengyan was even more puzzled. Coming specifically to draw hatred?

"I know, I know," Song Wuliang came over and said, "Brother Fang, the way you draw hatred is truly admirable. Brother Fang, you are indeed gifted."

Fang Yi, flattered by his praises, responded, "It’s not as impressive as you describe."

However, Song Wuliang chuckled and with a sly look, whispered, "Brother Fang, you’re doing this to buy time, right?"

Fang Yi was startled, his intentions unexpectedly seen through by this chubby man.

Nearby, Lin Mengyan and Kong Qingci, upon hearing the phrase ’buying time,’ had sudden realizations.

"Brother Fang, I mean no harm. You should know that I felt a connection with you at first sight and am definitely on your side," Song Wuliang said. He was often disliked by others, but now that he had met someone who didn’t despise him, Song Wuliang really didn’t harbor any ill will.

"That’s also true. Both of you are the most shameless, truly a perfect match," Kong Qingci said.

Song Wuliang glanced at her sidelong, then said to Fang Yi, "Brother Fang, actually, I have a plan that can draw even more hatred."

Fang Yi said, "Let’s hear it."

Ten minutes later, Song Wuliang started his action.

Song Wuliang’s objective was very clear. He directly went in front of Ren Tianqing and his son, then shouted loudly, "Ren Tianqing, show me what you got!"

Saying so, without waiting for the other to make a move, he made the first move, tackled Ren Tianqing, and snatched Ren Tianqing’s mobile phone.

At the same time, Fang Yi moved to Ren Hao’s back, like a ghost, and also quietly snatched his mobile phone.

Far away, Kong Qingci and Lin Mengyan stood side by side, their expressions utterly sublime.

"To understand ’partners in crime,’ I finally grasp the meaning of this phrase today," Kong Qingci said, laughing mockingly.
