Chapter 331: Chapter 0331: It Was You Who Did This

Nangong Man Sha glanced sideways and scoffed lightly at Tang You, who had already been frozen in place, not knowing what to do. "I told him I come from the Nangong Family, here to celebrate the Old Master’s birthday. Yet, not only did he refuse me entry, he also spouted madness at me and even slandered my innocence. Lady Tang, it seems you do not welcome guests from afar."

Chu Ge stood quietly in place, well aware that Nangong Man Sha merely wanted to teach Tang You a lesson, and wasn’t truly targeting Tang Xin or the Tang Family. Therefore, he chose not to say anything, but silently observed.

Tang Xin never expected such an incident to occur. The Nangong Family has always been a powerful family they wanted to curry favor with but could never find the right connection. Now, they have finally established a relationship through Chu Ge; she couldn’t let Tang You’s mistake ruin this rare opportunity!

In an instant, Tang Xin looked displeased at Tang You, "Tang You! What exactly is going on?"

Tang You’s heart skipped a beat, and his legs trembled uncontrollably. He had never been this nervous, even in life or death situations, but whenever he faced Tang Xin, especially now that she was angry, his heart raced uncontrollably.

"Lady Tang, don’t listen to her nonsense!" Tang You argued. "I am just following the rules – these two didn’t have an invitation letter. Moreover, this young man is an accomplice of Huo Tianqian. Today, there are many Tang Sect elders attending the Old Master’s birthday celebration. If this young man stirs up trouble at the banquet, my crime would be great."

Nangong Man Sha snickered coldly, mocking with a strange intonation, "Mr. Chu, it seems someone regards you as a petty person without a sense of occasion or measure."

Chu Ge chuckled, then replied in agreement, "Can’t help it. People often see others through the lens of what they themselves are."

Tang You clearly got the implication – the insinuation was that he was being called a petty person.

Tang You glared at Chu Ge in anger, but in front of Tang Xin, he dared not make a scene and had to forcefully swallow his resentment.

Tang Xin pinched her brow, speaking to Tang You, "No matter what, Chu Ge is my esteemed guest invited here today. By offending him, you’ve shown great disrespect. Go and accept your punishment."

Tang You felt unjustified and pointed at Chu Ge, saying loudly, "But this man admitted himself that he crippled Tang Batian! He even killed three of our brothers!"

Chu Ge raised an eyebrow; the disciples of Tang Sect he had killed numbered more than three. However, among the brothers brought by Tang Batian, he indeed had only killed one.

Chu Ge did not explain, letting them misunderstand as they would.

When Tang Xin heard this, she was visibly shocked. She had heard about what had happened to Tang Batian, that someone had used an unknown sharp weapon to sever his tendons in his arms and legs, robbing him of his power, rendering him a cripple.

Yet, Tang Xin had not imagined that the person who dealt with Tang Batian would turn out to be Chu Ge.

Although there were factions and rivalries within the Tang Sect, they would always unite in the face of an external invader.

Tang You and Tang Batian were the least friendly pair. When he saw Tang Batian tortured to such a state, Tang You also felt a bitter taste in his heart.

For Tang Batian to have his tendons severed not only meant he was a cripple but also that he would be expelled from the Tang Sect forever.

Because the Tang Sect did not support idlers.

Tang You’s eyes reddened; staring at Chu Ge, he wished he could rush forward and tear him apart.

But Chu Ge simply glanced at him lightly, speaking indifferently, "Weren’t you just saying you don’t believe it was me? What now? Lady Tang arrives and you want to shove the blame onto me?"

Shen Congwen: It was you, indeed.

Among those present, only Shen Congwen knew about the battle between Chu Ge and Tang Batian. He also knew that Chu Ge personally turned Tang Batian into a cripple, but such words could not be spoken in such a setting, so he could only mutter to himself in silence.

He had never noticed that Mr. Chu could be so... shameless.

Chu Ge didn’t blush or skip a beat as he said again, "Just now, I clearly heard you saying you made Miss Man Sha unable to get out of bed last night, and even claimed to be Miss Man Sha’s..."

Right at the end, Chu Ge suddenly stopped, the rest of the words left unsaid.

But everyone present understood, this Tang You, indeed had truly offended Miss Man Sha.

Tang Xin was standing at the spot feeling extremely embarrassed, such crude and unsightly words truly made one flush with shame.

She glared at Tang You with embarrassment and fury, commanding: "Tang You, go and receive the punishment of the Tang Sect at once!!"

The Tang Family’s family punishment was not harsh, but the Tang Sect’s punishment could torment you until you’re half-dead.

Usually, only those who made a grave mistake would receive the Tang Sect’s punishment, so when Tang You heard that Tang Xin was going to make him suffer the punishment of the Tang Sect just because of a few words from Chu Ge, he was shocked and disheartened, with anger being the predominant emotion in his complex feelings.

He glared resentfully at Chu Ge, and even if he had more grievances, at this moment he could not say any more.

This debt, he noted it down!

Tang Xin looked apologetically at Chu Ge and Nangong Man Sha, saying: "I’m really sorry, Mr. Chu, Miss Man Sha. I, on behalf of Tang You, would like to apologize to you both, I’m truly very sorry."

Chu Ge nonchalantly shrugged his shoulders with hands in his pockets, "Actually, it doesn’t bother me much, but Miss Man Sha has always been placed high above, never been treated with such disrespect, is Miss Man Sha still upset in her heart?"

Nangong Man Sha cast a blaming look at Chu Ge, "Mr. Chu is joking, Man Sha never actually got angry."

Nangong Man Sha’s gaze towards Chu Ge was not ordinary.

This was Tang Xin’s first reaction, as well as a woman’s intuition.

She was speculating about what kind of relationship existed between Nangong Man Sha and Chu Ge when she heard Chu Ge suddenly ask with curiosity, "How did you two come together?"

In his memory, the Shen Family and Tang Family were not on good terms, even though he had made suggestions that day for Shen Congwen to come, he didn’t expect that he’d actually show up.

Tang Xin glanced at Shen Congwen, years of rivalry had made the two particularly hostile when they met, and it felt strange to her that they were suddenly standing together harmoniously.

Shen Congwen was wearing a light grey suit today, his relatively handsome face had a black frame on it, and at first glance, he looked quite the literati.

Shen Congwen smiled and explained, "We just happened to run into each other in the parking lot."

He glanced sideways at Tang Xin, his eyes filled with something indefinable, "Lady Tang Xin was probably worried that I wouldn’t be able to enter the banquet smoothly, so she kindly invited me to join her. Unexpectedly, we ran into Mr. Chu at the entrance."

Chu Ge nodded, not asking anymore.

However, Tang Xin was giving Chu Ge a strange look, moving her eyes back and forth twice. Chu Ge, somewhat baffled, "Why is Lady Tang Xin looking at me like this?"

Tang Xin coughed lightly, hesitated for a moment, then voiced the doubt in her heart, "Tang Batian, was it really your doing?"
