Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 790: Chapter 789 Zhao Ping’an Rushes Over

Li Siyuan’s words redirected everyone’s attention toward him.

With a mocking face, Li Siyuan sneered, ”Just now, weren’t you the one full of integrity, claiming that you had nothing to do with my Changtian Martial Arts Hall? What’s this now? Suddenly agreeing to my uncle’s proposal? Oh, right, now that you know my grandfather has personally come out of seclusion, you think you can take advantage, so you’ve shown up?”

Fu Dewei’s face turned red with anger; he had not anticipated Li Siyuan to be so petty. He had already spoken out, putting his pride on the line. And here was Li Siyuan, insulting him again—wasn’t this going too far?

Taking a deep breath, Fu Dewei gritted his teeth and said, ”Li Siyuan, this matter is between Master Li and me...”

”Sorry, the Master Li you’re referring to is my uncle!” Li Siyuan said coldly. ”Moreover, in your words just now, you showed great disrespect to my Changtian Martial Arts Hall. Plainly speaking, you looked down on us. And now, you want to cooperate with us? Tsk tsk, Master Foo, do you think that’s appropriate?”

The scene fell into complete silence as everyone watched Li Siyuan taunt Fu Dewei, with many whispering to each other.

Li Liangfeng and others, however, acted as if they heard nothing. In fact, they clearly understood what Li Siyuan was doing. But they did not intervene; their intention was to make an example of him, to let everyone present know the consequences of disrespecting Changtian Martial Arts Hall!

Fu Dewei’s expression was extremely ugly, while Foo Qinglan rushed to say, ”Siyuan, what are you saying? That’s my father, you know!”

”Foo Qinglan, don’t be so affectionate. We just slept together, that’s all. Do you really think you’re something special?” Li Siyuan sneered. ”What era is it, after all? Our thing barely rates as a few nights of passion. Our relationship hasn’t reached the point where you can shout at me!”

Foo Qinglan was stunned; she couldn’t believe that Li Siyuan would treat her this way, and even more so that he’d say such things in public.

Listening to the mocking laughter of the surrounding crowd, Foo Qinglan’s face turned beet red, and she was on the verge of breaking down.

”Li Siyuan, you beast!” Fu Dewei shouted furiously as he leaped up, pointing at Li Siyuan and yelling, ”I’m going to kill you!”

Before Fu Dewei could charge out, he was immediately restrained by several people from nearby martial arts halls.

”Master Foo, one must maintain composure!” a master sneered. ”Why get involved in the matters of the young? Besides, in this day and age, if your daughter doesn’t respect herself, how can you blame others?”

”Seriously, Master Foo, you should rein in your daughter. Does she really think she can get men to do this and that with her body? Heh, really, having a daughter is such a big deal, huh?”

”Fu Dewei, you’d better be careful with your words. Changtian Martial Arts Hall is thinking of everyone here. By speaking irreverently about Changtian, you are making an enemy of us all. I hope you’ll retract what you just said; otherwise, don’t blame me for disregarding our years of friendship!”

Almost everyone present was unanimously against Fu Dewei.

Fu Dewei was on the brink of collapse, his strength was only moderate among these people, and he lacked strong backing. This time, he could do nothing but swallow the humiliation.

Watching his daughter holding her head and crying beside him, Fu Dewei couldn’t help but roar out loud. However, the people from the other martial arts halls held him down firmly, rendering him unable to struggle.

”Master Foo, if you continue like this, don’t blame the brothers for being rude!” one of the masters threatened coldly.

”Rude? What can you do!” Fu Dewei roared. ”I’m willing to stake my life. Do you dare to gamble with your lives against me?”

”Fu Dewei, don’t talk big. Everyone can stake their lives; isn’t that how we in martial arts grow up? Besides, you alone want to stake your life? The few of us could kill you without getting a scratch; how would you fight us?”

The crowd burst into laughter, as Fu Dewei roared continuously like a trapped beast, yet he was helpless.

Just at that moment, a voice suddenly sounded, ”Master, don’t argue with them. This time, we don’t need Changtian Martial Arts Hall, we’ll fight on our own!”

Fu Dewei was startled and turned his head, only to see that Zhao Ping’an had somehow already arrived. Beside him, Su Yang walked with his hands in his pockets, as if he was enjoying a leisurely outing.

”Ping’an, you... you...” Fu Dewei’s face was full of panic: ”How did you come back?”

”I never left!” Zhao Ping’an said, ”But I took the bus, so I was a bit late.”

”You... didn’t you leave?” Fu Dewei asked urgently: ”Why... why did you come back? Do you know, the Hu Family... the people from the Hu Family want to make an example of you...”

”I wouldn’t leave.” Zhao Ping’an walked over and helped Fu Dewei up, squeezing out a smile: ”Master, if you were going to fight, and I left, what kind of disciple would I be?”

Tears welled up in Fu Dewei’s eyes, and he didn’t know what to say. Truthfully, seeing two thousand yuan less in his bank account had actually made him feel somewhat disappointed. However, he didn’t say anything; his disciple being able to leave alive was more important than anything!

Now that Zhao Ping’an had returned, Fu Dewei felt completely without regret. He took a deep breath, patted Zhao Ping’an on the shoulder, and loudly said, ”Alright, today, as master and disciple, we’ll fight to the death against you right here!”

Zhao Ping’an smiled, turned his head towards Li Siyuan, and declared loudly, ”People of Changtian Martial Arts Hall, listen clearly, Dewei Martial Arts Hall does not agree with Li Liangfeng’s proposal. We, Dewei Martial Arts Hall, will challenge the Hu Family on our own!”

The crowd at the scene was first stunned, then burst into laughter once again.

”Did I hear that wrong? Dewei Martial Arts Hall is going to fight the Hu Family on their own?”

”Wow, Dewei Martial Arts Hall is really stepping up, eh? Daring to challenge the Hu Family like that?”

”I didn’t see that coming, Fu Dewei’s disciple has returned, and they’re going to make a bold move!”

”Impressive, impressive, I admire that!”

The crowd continued to mock, and Li Liangfeng slightly narrowed his eyes, a cold smile passing his lips: ”No problem, since we’re soliciting everyone’s opinion, we naturally accept dissenting views. Now, is there anyone else who disagrees with my proposal?”

In the end, apart from two other martial arts halls in similar situations to Dewei Martial Arts Hall, everyone else agreed with Changtian Martial Arts Hall.

One of these two halls was too weak, and Changtian Martial Arts Hall simply ignored them. The other had an old feud with Changtian Martial Arts Hall, so they too were excluded from the alliance this time.

These two martial arts halls were now in the same boat as Dewei Martial Arts Hall.

Once everything was settled, everyone sat down. Changtian Martial Arts Hall gathered the masters together first to discuss who would be sent to compete in the match.

Actually, everyone was well aware that the choice of competitors would still have to come from Changtian Martial Arts Hall. After all, Changtian Martial Arts Hall had Li Changtian!
