Chapter 625: Naturally Someone Will Deal With It
"Lingyun, how could you just let this matter slide so easily? Are you not even a little angry about it?" After leaving the main hall, Chen Jing asked Lingyun with a look of confusion.
"Angry? Why would I be angry with someone like that? There is no point in being angry with such a person. As for you saying I let this matter slide, you are thinking of it too simply," Lingyun said, rolling his eyes. "If I don't step in to deal with her, naturally someone else will. Since we don't have to do it ourselves, why should we waste our energy?"
"Naturally someone else will deal with her... could it be, Swordplay Villa?" Chen Jing's eyes darted around, and she immediately understood what Lingyun meant.
"That's right. I think that Yi Tianqi should have already recognized our identities. And the Villa Master of Swordplay Villa also participated in the Peak Martial Duel before, so he knows our strength. If he finds out that his son's girlfriend used the background of Swordplay Villa to provoke us, what do you think he will think?" Lingyun asked.
"His first reaction should be panic. As far as I know, the strongest person in Swordplay Villa, which is the current Villa Master, has reached the Half-step Nascent Soul realm. But among those at the Half-step Nascent Soul level, he can only be considered mediocre and doesn't have any particularly strong power," Su Wanyue analyzed. "Moreover, that man values Swordplay Villa more than his own life. Now that Su Yufei has provoked us and even brought out the name of Swordplay Villa, if he finds out, he will surely wish he could tear her to pieces."
"So, why should we do it ourselves? Naturally, someone will go and deal with her," Lingyun said.
"Then what about that Yi Tianqi? I see that he seems to have quite deep feelings for Su Yufei," Chen Jing asked.
"That is hard to say. Yi Tianqi is the Young Villa Master of Swordplay Villa. While he possesses the rights of a Young Villa Master, his every word and action must also consider the interests of Swordplay Villa. In this Dark World, incidents of 'risking everything for a beauty' are truly too rare. Furthermore, even if he wanted to do that, his father would definitely stop him," Lingyun said.
"In other words, no matter what, that woman is definitely going to be in trouble, right?" Chen Jing said with a smile.
"You can think of it that way."
"Eh, Ye Xi, why is your face so red?" Just at this moment, Busujima Saeko spoke up with some surprise.
"No, it's nothing." At this moment, Luo Yexi, who seemed to have been lost in thought, finally came back to her senses and shook her head vigorously.
"Dad, I might have caused trouble."
After returning to his room, Yi Tianqi didn't even think before dialing a call to his father.
"Didn't you go to attend the birthday banquet for the Yan Family's elder? How did you manage to stir up trouble?" A calm, middle-aged man's voice came from the other end of the phone. "Tell me, who did you provoke? With my current strength, I can still smooth over some things for you."
"This... this time the matter is quite big, it might not be so easy to smooth over," Yi Tianqi said cautiously.
"Not so easy to smooth over? Your old man is, at the very least, a Half-step Nascent Soul expert. Could it be that you've provoked a Half-step Nascent Soul expert too?"
"Not one, but several, the kind we can't afford to provoke."
"Who did you provoke?" The person on the other end also became serious.
"Chen Jing, Su Wanyue, Luo Yexi, Busujima Saeko, Lingyun..." Yi Tianqi slowly spat out a few names.
"Boom— Crack!"
Yi Tianqi clearly heard the sound of something falling to the ground and shattering. This must have been his father, who was drinking tea while talking to him on the phone, having put it on speaker. And the thing that fell to the ground must have been one of his most beloved Nine Dragon Porcelain Cups.
"It's over."
Yi Tianqi felt his world go dark. He knew how much his father treasured that set of Nine Dragon Porcelain Cups, which he usually maintained himself. Now that one had shattered because of him, he could imagine the rage he would face next.
"I know you have always been a self-disciplined child and would not provoke anyone at will. Tell me the sequence of events properly. I also know a thing or two about this Lingyun. Although he is not a good person, if you don't provoke him, he won't strike out at will," Yi Qianxing took a deep breath and asked slowly.
"Yes, Father." Yi Tianqi did not dare to delay and told his father everything that happened today, point by point.
"So that's how it is. The main reason still lies with that girl named Su Yufei." After hearing Yi Tianqi's description, Yi Qianxing slowly let out a breath. "Fortunately, things are not as bad as I imagined. Tianqi, you don't need to intervene in this matter; leave it to me to handle. As for you and that Su Yufei, you'd better forget it."
"Father..." Hearing Yi Qianxing's words, a look of distress appeared on Yi Tianqi's face.
"This was only the first time you brought her out to attend a high-level banquet, and she already caused such a mess, offending so many experts. I find it hard to imagine whether she would completely bury Swordplay Villa if she continued to stay by your side," Yi Qianxing's tone carried a hint of heaviness. "Alright, that's it, I'm hanging up now."
"Old Song, book me a plane ticket. I need to take a trip to Rong City." After putting down the phone, Yi Qianxing said to the old man beside him.
"Villa Master, everything is fine, why are you going to Rong City?" The old man asked with some confusion.
"To handle some matters. If these matters are not handled well, then whether Swordplay Villa can even continue to exist might be a question," Yi Qianxing slapped the table and stood up abruptly.
"Villa Master, is it that serious?" The old man gasped.
Recalling the past battle records of Lingyun and the others, Yi Qianxing nodded heavily. Not to mention the experts Lingyun had killed before, even among those who faced Chen Jing and the others at the Dark World Exchange Conference, apart from the people from Huaxia, few were able to walk off the ring in one piece.
"Yes, Villa Master." Seeing the serious look on Yi Qianxing's face, the old man nodded vigorously and hurried out.
"I hope it's not too late."
