As soon as the man’s voice fell, five young men and women walked into the lobby from the first floor.

The speaker was a tall and thin young master in a Nike tracksuit, with sandalwood bracelets on his hands.

Judging by his pale complexion and frail body, it was evident that he had been sapped by indulgent living.

The provocatively dressed woman with a flirtatious vibe somewhat rang a bell for Li Qingming.

However, where he’d seen her before wasn’t very clear to him!

Of the remaining three men, two were dressed in branded suits, looking sturdy and extraordinary.

From their demeanor and gait, they seemed to have trained in martial arts and were likely working in bodyguard-related occupations.

The last man, however, surprised Li Qingming.

This man appeared to be in his forties.

His complexion was somewhat dark, lacking any sense of delicacy or elegance, instead, he seemed worn and haggard.

With slightly swollen eyelids, sagging lashes casting faint shadows, and his high cheekbones making his face seem even more gaunt and skeletal.

Especially those hands – their extremely dark skin, somewhat withered and thin, resembled nearly wilted branches, stirring pity in the beholder.

Moreover, within this man’s Dantian, there was a misty cluster of Blood Radiance True Essence.

It was this Blood Radiance True Essence that surprised Li Qingming, but it was just a surprise, nothing more.

Li Qingming watched these people with a detached gaze, unsure of their intentions.

Li Qingming did not recognize these people, but that did not mean Luo Shucheng and his son did not.

The pale-faced talker was named Xiao Zhifei; several of his uncles held high positions.

Instead of entering politics, his father chose business and had built their group into one of the top five in the world.

The two men in sunglasses were Xiao Zhifei’s bodyguards.

As for the middle-aged man, Luo Shucheng did not know him.

When Wang Ziyuan heard this somewhat familiar voice, she slightly turned her graceful head and looked at Xiao Zhifei with a slight frown, saying, “Mr.

Xiao, do I need to inform you where I dine?”

With Wang Ziyuan’s response, the usually arrogant and domineering Xiao Zhifei’s expression suddenly turned gloomy, and he said to Wang Chonghai, “Chairman Wang, is this how you educate your daughter?

Hmph, at your old age, have you lived your life in vain?”

Wang Chonghai’s face turned ashen.

As the chairman of a world-famous company, being pointed at and scolded, and the inability to retaliate, was a sorrowful matter indeed.

Just at this moment, like discovering a new world, Xiao Zhifei let out a cold snicker, his face full of sarcasm, “Life is full of unexpected meetings, Mr.

Luo!

Never thought I’d run into you here in Dragon City.”

“Oh, Mr.

Luo?

How do you know him, Master Xiao?” The middle-aged man with a dark complexion asked upon hearing this, lightly licked his dry lips, and hoarsely said.

“Hehe, Immortal Master Gu Chen, of course I know him!

This Mr.

Luo is the heir of the internationally renowned Luo Group.

He recently stepped on my shoulders to charm a girl who should’ve been mine!” Xiao Zhifei had been sick of Luo Shucheng since he saw him.

He couldn’t understand how, despite being more fickle-hearted, comparing to Luo Shucheng, he, who possessed both looks and power, lost Wang Ziyuan to that dead fatty Luo Shucheng.

Hearing Xiao Zhifei call the middle-aged man “Immortal Master”, Li Qingming smirked internally, thinking: “These are merely mortals, a mere Cultivator at the later stage of Refining Essence to Qi being called ‘Immortal Master’, ridiculous, ridiculous!”

“Oh, I see!

Cackle…” Gu Chen’s eyes flickered, a faint trace of Blood Radiance suddenly shot out from his eyes, and with lightning speed, penetrated Luo Shucheng’s forehead.

“Hmm?” Li Qingming narrowed his eyes, a sharp chill emanating from his lowered gaze.

Since someone dared to attack his brother, Li Qingming had no intention of letting them off.

Anyone who harmed his family must be thoroughly eradicated.

Although he could silently kill Gu Chen here and now, Li Qingming had no such intentions.

He was still mindful of drawing out the forces beyond Gu Chen from the Cultivation World, Immortal World, and other realms.

“Xiao Zhifei, don’t think that just because your grandfather is a founding general, you can do whatever you want in this country.

The day he is no longer around will mark the downfall of the Xiao family!” Luo Shucheng said, looking at Xiao Zhifei with bloodshot eyes.

If gazes could kill, Xiao Zhifei would have died millions of times over.

“Hmph!

I am being arrogant, what can you do about it?

Bite me if you dare!

Hahahaha!” Xiao Zhifei laughed arrogantly.

The service staff in the hall looked at him with contempt.

“Eh!

Mr.

Luo, the big boss, you seem to be regressing with age.

Is the Fishing Platform Guesthouse a place where just anyone can come and go?” Not waiting for Luo Shucheng to reply, Xiao Zhifei glanced at Li Qingming standing beside Luo Shucheng and said mockingly.

“You…” Luo Shucheng was about to say he was fine, but upon hearing his brother being insulted, he got really annoyed.

Li Qingming’s eyes flashed with a fierce glint as he covertly summoned a thread of Yuqing True Essence and flicked it onto Gu Chen.

Frowning slightly, he couldn’t be bothered to stoop down to the level of this dumbass, as it was beneath his dignity.

So, Li Qingming reached out, patted Luo Shucheng, who was red-faced with anger, and said indifferently, “Xiao Pang, let’s go upstairs!”

The woman with a seductive face suddenly stood out and said, “Don’t be in such a hurry to leave, handsome!

Since we all know each other, why don’t we sit together and join the fun?”

Having been with Xiao Zhifei for a long time, if she couldn’t tell what Xiao Zhifei wanted, she might as well buy a block of tofu and smash her head against the wall.

Sure enough, Xiao Zhifei, seeing how compliant the woman was, laughed and said, “My dear Meimei, you really understand what I want!

Hahahaha…”

Gu Chen sneered with a sinister smile that didn’t reach his eyes and said, “Yeah, young man.

You are a distinguished guest invited by Mr.

Luo.

It’s rare to encounter you in Dragon City today.

Young Master Xiao is an authentic Dragon Capital native.

Him inviting you for a meal is a great honor indeed!”

“Him?

And what the heck are you guys, to be qualified to share a table with me?” Li Qingming paused mid-step and ambiguously tossed out a phrase.

Who did Xiao Zhifei and Gu Chen think they were?

One was a wealthy and handsome man; the other fancied himself a Cultivator with accomplishments.

They both were inviting Li Qingming, an unheard-of nobody, for a meal as if it were no big deal, but they would not allow Li Qingming to refuse.

Besides, even if it were to be refused, it wasn’t this young man’s place to do so!

Xiao Zhifei’s originally pale cheeks turned white as snow.

Raising his hand, he signaled to the two bodyguards behind him to step forward and teach Li Qingming a lesson.

Damn it, what a joke!

In the presence of two multinational corporation chairmen, who said nothing, here was this nobody acting rashly!

Seeing the two bodyguard-like men start to move forward, Luo Shucheng’s gut twisted with regret.

Why had he forgotten to bring his own bodyguards before going out!

Thinking of Li Qingming just recovering from a serious illness, although the doctor had said he was as strong as a bull, he was after all just discharged from the hospital and couldn’t withstand the beating from two burly men.

With this thought, Luo Shucheng positioned himself protectively in front of Li Qingming.

Seeing Luo Shucheng’s actions, warmth flashed across Li Qingming’s eyes.

When had it come to a point where he needed protection from others!

Li Qingming gently pushed Luo Shucheng aside and calmly faced the two bodyguards who were about to rush forward.

Although his stance appeared casual, Gu Chen felt a sudden change in his perception, murmuring to himself: “Coincidence, illusion?”

“Bang!”

The two bodyguards obviously didn’t share the same keen vision!

One aimed for the back of Li Qingming’s head, and the other swung his leg horizontally toward Li Qingming’s calves, both clearly aiming to hit hard.

“Hmph!” Li Qingming made no move whatsoever, only uttering a muffled grunt.

“Brother Ming!

Be careful!” Fatty Luo suddenly exclaimed.

“Hehe!” Xiao Zhifei chuckled lightly, seemingly already picturing Li Qingming being subdued by the two bodyguards, ready for him to torment.

(PS: Perhaps many friends don’t understand, clearly it’s a Primordial World context, what’s the use of writing about the city?

Hehe, Panda can only tell you, every cause has its effect, and every effect has its cause!)
