"Bastard, you’re courting death!" Xie Baogui humiliated himself in front of so many people, making a fool of himself.
Moreover, Chu Feng was also his love rival, and Xie Bing, that great beauty, had been watching the whole scene.
When Chu Feng repelled Xie Baogui with a move, a splendid light flickered within Xie Bing’s beautiful eyes. She looked at Chu Feng with admiration and a sweet emotion as if being protected by a lover.
She even felt honored by her man’s strength.
At the tips of Xie Baogui’s fingers, a Sword Qi about four or five inches long appeared. The cultivation of a Beginner Level Sword Master with Five Layers is not to be underestimated.
Such terrifying Sword Qi was enough to split stone tablets and instantly cleave a person in two.
"I advise you, you’d best not seek your own demise!" Chu Feng’s eyes squinted slightly, a Talismanic Elixir already gripped in his hand.
Even those at the peak of Sword Mastery, he has slain.
A mere Beginner Level Sword Master with Five Layers, he would surely kill with ease.
"Baogui, there are so many guests here today, don’t spoil everyone’s fun!" Two of the Xie Family’s elders hurriedly came over and persuaded Xie Baogui to leave. This scuffle had already drawn the attention of many guests.
If a real fight broke out, and blood was seen, then today’s Longevity Banquet would be ruined.
Xie Baogui glared viciously at Chu Feng, "Bastard, you’re dead!" He had suffered a setback in front of Chu Feng, and what’s more, Xie Bing was sticking close to Chu Feng, this kindled killing intent towards Chu Feng within him.
It was fortunate that these two elders from the Xie Family forcibly dragged him away.
Otherwise, the one to die would certainly not have been Chu Feng, but him.
For Chu Feng, he had already taken control of two superpowers, the Han Family and the Blood Sword Gang. Besides, the Hong Family, Golden Talisman Sect Store, and Alchemy Master Guild all held him in significant regard.
All his influence combined, plus his own hidden formidable power, it wasn’t just about slaughtering a Xie Baogui.
Even if he slaughtered Old Master Xie himself, he would be able to settle it.
Wasn’t Prince Liu formidable enough? And what happened to him?
Didn’t he end up being sent by Chu Feng to meet King Yan?
A mere Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, in terms of status and position, couldn’t even compare to Prince Liu.
The Longevity Banquet soon began, with Old Master Xie appearing on the scene dressed in a bright red robe, looking like Master Shouxing himself.
After a round of pleasantries, came the singing and dancing, meanwhile, the Xie Family’s servants served each table fine wine, fresh fruits, and snacks. The formal banquet would wait until after the performances of songs, dances, acrobatics, and so forth were completed before commencing.
Just when Xie Bing quietly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking Xie Baogui would back down knowing the challenge,
to her surprise, not long after Xie Baogui was persuaded to return, it was unclear what he had said to her parents and other elders. Soon, Xie Bing’s father came over with a stern face.
"You shameless girl, come with me right now!" Xie Bing’s father was a stout middle-aged man with a less than flattering face. With a beard covering his cheeks and swollen, puff-eyed look,
it was a wonder how he sired such a Heavenly Immortal-like daughter as Xie Bing.
At his sharp rebuke, Xie Bing’s body trembled slightly, and biting her red lips stubbornly, she whispered, "I won’t agree to marry Xie Baogui!" She obviously feared her father,
as tears started to well up in her eyes.
"I’m not discussing this with you, I’m ordering you! In front of so many guests, don’t make it difficult for me, your father!" Xie Bing’s father’s expression grew even more somber; reluctant as she was, she still stood up.
Ready to follow her father to the tables where the higher-ups of the Xie Family were sitting.
"I’ll accompany you there!" Chu Feng got up and took hold of her delicate hand.
Xie Bing’s father was furious, forcibly prying Chu Feng’s hand open and separating the two. He barked angrily, "Who are you?"
Chu Feng, neither humble nor arrogant, responded politely, "Uncle, hello, my name is Chu Feng, and I am Xie Bing’s boyfriend!" He had already seen that the Xie family was planning a forced marriage, intending to wed Xie Bing to that Xie Baogui.
If she was willing, Chu Feng naturally wouldn’t interfere.
But it was clear that she was unwilling, even already crying. At this time, as her boyfriend, Chu Feng naturally had the responsibility to protect her.
He would never stand idly by.
Even if it meant contending against the entire Xie Family, he would protect Xie Bing.
"Chu Feng, listen well! From now on, stay far away from my daughter. If I catch you pestering her again, I’ll break your legs," Xie Bing’s father warned icily.
At the same time, he grabbed Xie Bing and began to drag her away.
"Uncle, even if you break my legs, I am still your daughter’s boyfriend. I won’t let anyone force her to marry someone she doesn’t like," Chu Feng declared fearlessly, following them.
"Then try and see if you have the ability!" Xie Bing’s father sneered, ignoring Chu Feng from that point on.
Soon, Xie Bing was forcibly dragged to the table where Xie Baogui was sitting.
"Sit here!" Xie Bing’s father forced Xie Bing to sit next to Xie Baogui. This father was truly merciless, actually pushing his own daughter into a pit of fire.
Xie Baogui’s face showed a smug smile, looking at Chu Feng with contempt and disdain.
"Bing Bing, you’re still young and naive, so there’s a lot you don’t understand. Marry me, and I guarantee you a happy and wealthy life as a wife," he said.
"And this Chu Feng, what does he have? He’s just a student, not to mention a well-known waste in the Royal Capital, without even sword meridians. He won’t be able to give you anything in the future."
"To say something without boasting, in the entire Royal Capital, there are few men my age who could achieve such success and obtain such status through their own abilities; you could count them on one hand," he boasted incessantly, belittling Chu Feng mercilessly.
The Xie family members also intentionally humiliated Chu Feng, hoping he would back off understanding the difficulty. No one offered him a seat; they made him stand like a servant.
Xie Bing bit her lip tightly, with tears falling like pearls off a broken string.
"Daughter, what Baogui is saying makes a lot of sense. We are older and more experienced, don’t be stubborn and be deceived by that poor boy behind you. A golden son-in-law like Baogui is hard to come by even with a lantern."
"Not only does he have a successful career in the Royal Capital, he knows many important people and is a truly successful individual. And that Chu Feng, he has nothing, probably can’t even afford a meal. Just look at the rags he’s wearing to know."
Xie Bing’s father was also trying to persuade her in a timely manner.
Qiao Dusi, due to his prestigious status, was invited by Old Master Xie to sit at his table.
Right next to the table where Xie Bing was sitting.
Seeing Chu Feng being humiliated by the Xie family, he couldn’t feel more thrilled.
"Ahem! Master Xie, I have something on my mind that I can’t help but share, although our acquaintance is not deep. Your Xie family’s Xie Bing is known in the Royal Capital as a great beauty, with both talent and looks. Don’t let her marry that Chu Feng."
"Tsk tsk, you might not know, but the Sword King Mansion has already fallen into such disrepair it’s worse than a beggar’s den..."
After downing two glasses of wine, sitting next to Chu Feng’s ex-girlfriend Lin Yuxin, Qiao Dusi was flushed with triumph. He was gleefully kicking Chu Feng while he was down.
While this group of people were boasting about how amazing and incredible they were, a servant from Xie Family rushed in, his face flushed with panic.
Clearly, something urgent had happened outside.
He ran straight to Old Master Xie’s table and whispered a few words into his ear. Old Master Xie’s expression changed slightly, but he still maintained his composure and dignity.
