Chapter 310: Chapter 308: The New Generation’s Undefeated Legend! [First Update]

Hearing Li Chen’s blatant threat, Shangguan Changyun’s expression was first one of shock.

He even began to doubt whether he had heard it wrong.

Angry and embarrassed, he immediately pointed at Li Chen’s nose and cursed: "MMP, you bumpkin, acting all high and mighty, you’re the first person in this Imperial City to dare tell me to get lost!"

Li Chen raised an eyebrow and casually asked, "Oh, then I take it no one has ever hit you before?"

Shangguan Changyun’s brain went blank, unable to understand why Li Chen would suddenly ask such a stupid question.

"Of course not, Tianxiang Building is the property of our Shangguan Family, who the hell would dare to make trouble right under Cao Cao’s nose..."

He didn’t even finish saying the word "nose" before he suddenly felt a sharp pain on his left cheek.

The slap was not gentle, leaving stars in his eyes, buzzing in his head, and causing him to seriously question his life.

"You dare to hit me?"

"Slap!"

Li Chen dished out another slap, this time hitting the right cheek with the same moderate strength. He likes symmetry even when it comes to slapping.

After receiving another slap, Shangguan Changyun spun around on the spot and with a thud, crashed heavily onto the ground.

Seeing this scene, both Shangguan Changyun and his friends, as well as Ning Xiaoqing, were stunned.

You must understand, this is the Imperial City, the epicenter of power for the entire empire.

The Shangguan Family is one of the top Great Families in the Imperial City. A member of their family was hit just like that by Li Chen, without the slightest hesitation.

Li Chen dusted off his hands, gave Shangguan Changyun a faint smile, and said, "My apologies for taking your first time. But don’t worry, I’ll take responsibility!"

Upon hearing this from Li Chen, everyone was bewildered again.

Taken the first time, and take responsibility? The more they listened, the more the words didn’t sound right.

However, before they could wrap their heads around it, Li Chen spoke again with a smile, "I’m going to continue eating here, for about an hour or so. An hour should be enough time for you to find some people."

Shangguan Changyun huffed angrily and left a message "You just wait" before hurrying away with the help of his friends.

A wealthy young man named Zhao Xing said, "Shangguan, what do we do now? That kid looks confident and probably has strong backing!"

"With his Jiangnan accent, even if he has some background, he’s just a local bumpkin. Coming to our Capital to show off, it’s like an old man seeking his own death!"

"Shangguan, your cousin Shangguan Changhong is a high disciple of War God Li Lingtian. Ask him to come and deal with this kid properly!"

"That sounds good, however powerful he is, he still can’t outdo the Shangguan Family, nor the Li Family. No matter how influential he is locally, once he’s in our Capital, he’s got to toe the line. If he’s a tiger, he’ll have to lie down; if he’s a dragon, he’ll still have to coil up!"

...

A group of dissolute young masters, chattering away, then egged Shangguan Changyun on to call his cousin Shangguan Changhong.

For such a trivial matter, Shangguan Changyun didn’t want to trouble his cousin. However, being prodded by his friends, and indeed unable to swallow the insult, he grudgingly took out his mobile phone and dialed Shangguan Changhong’s number.

In the past, Shangguan Changhong certainly wouldn’t have bothered with a cousin who never did anything serious and was only good at causing trouble.

However, ever since he was defeated by Li Chen and even had his treasured ice sword taken away, he had been harboring a seething anger with nowhere to vent.

So, when his cousin called to say that a bumpkin from Jiangnan had caused trouble in their Tianxiang Building, he responded instantly.

Seeing Shangguan Changyun actually making a call to ask someone to come, Ning Xiaoqing felt vaguely uneasy that the situation was not looking good.

She furrowed her brows slightly, tentatively saying to Li Chen, "Li Chen, let’s eat somewhere else!"

Li Chen waved his hand and said, "The food here tastes pretty good, why would we need to change?"

Ning Xiaoqing was getting super anxious, thinking to herself: you’ve practically punctured a hole in the sky, and you’re still in the mood to care about the quality of the food?

"Do you know who that person just now was?"

Li Chen glanced in the direction Ning Xiaoqing was pointing and said leisurely, "Isn’t his name Shangguan Changyun?"

"Right, his name is Shangguan Changyun, born into one of the Eight Great Families of the Capital, the Shangguan Family. He has an older cousin named Shangguan Changhong, a top disciple of General Li!"

Ning Xiaoqing laid out Shangguan Changyun’s identity in the hopes that Li Chen would take the hint, to retreat with her from this place promptly.

The incident of Li Chen slapping Shangguan Changyun was not a major crisis but also not insignificant. As long as the situation didn’t escalate further, it would remain controllable. Essentially, it would likely blow over, diminishing from a big deal to a small one, and then to nothing at all.

"Shangguan Changhong, that name sounds vaguely familiar," Li Chen mused, taking a sip of his drink and smacking his lips.

With an irritated tone, Ning Xiaoqing said, "Not only is Shangguan Changhong a top disciple of General Li, but he’s also a leading figure among the younger generation, Heaven’s Chosen Son. Isn’t it normal for you to have heard of him?"

Li Chen, hearing the tone of Ning Xiaoqing’s voice, seemed to imply admiration for this Shangguan Changhong.

He finally remembered just who this Shangguan Changhong was.

However, he did not voice his thoughts and merely smiled and shook his head.

Ning Xiaoqing was flustered by Li Chen’s reaction and asked puzzledly, "What’s so funny?"

"Nothing much."

After saying that, he glanced over at Shangguan Changyun from the corner of his eye and asked with a bit of playful mischief, "That Shangguan Changyun seemed to take a liking to you. Since his family is so powerful, why don’t you just accept his pursuit?"

"Pfft, it’s true that the Shangguan Family is powerful, but our Ning Family isn’t any weaker, right?" Ning Qian’er, who had been silent up until now, said with pride.

Ning Xiaoqing rolled her eyes at Ning Qian’er and said, "Shut up and eat your food. No one’s selling you off as a mute if you don’t speak."

Ning Qian’er playfully stuck her tongue out, leaned towards Li Chen, and asked, "You’re so amazing, can you beat Shangguan Changhong? If you can, I’ll keep your secret!"

Li Chen was taken aback and asked, "What secret?"

Ning Qian’er glanced furtively at her cousin Ning Xiaoqing, lowered her voice and whispered mysteriously, "Of course, it’s about you climbing over the wall to see another love. If Xue’er finds out that you, behind her back, traveled thousands of miles to the Capital to see someone else, what do you think she would do?"

Li Chen blushed with embarrassment, a look of speechlessness on his face.

Seeing Ning Qian’er and Li Chen whispering secrets to each other and occasionally glancing her way, Ning Xiaoqing’s brows knit together as she asked sharply, "Hey, what on earth are you two whispering about?"

Worried Ning Qian’er might blurt out something about "climbing over the wall, having an affair," Li Chen quickly responded, "Qian’er was asking me if I could beat Shangguan Changhong."

"Just you?"

Ning Xiaoqing’s face was filled with disdain. In her eyes, Shangguan Changhong was second only to the War God Li Lingtian, a myth of invincibility among the new generation.

Li Chen pursed his lips in response and asked, "What’s wrong with me? If that Shangguan Changhong dares to come, believe it or not, I can beat him up till he’s crawling on the ground looking for his teeth?"

"That’s right, our Li Chen is really formidable!" Ning Qian’er, who enjoyed stirring up drama, egged on enthusiastically.

Ning Xiaoqing grabbed a Cola-flavored chicken wing and stuffed it into Ning Qian’er’s mouth.

"Eating still can’t keep your mouth shut!"

Ning Qian’er munched on the chicken wing, making muffled noises and looking comical.

Just then, Li Chen glanced out the door with the corner of his eye and said calmly, "Speak of the devil, and he shall appear!"
