Chapter 188: Noisy

"Noisy!"

Kong Qing Xiaozi also didn't waste words with that girl.

Although the girl before him had an extraordinary aura, her breath deep and restrained, it was clear at a glance she was no ordinary person.

But standing behind him was Lin Yang.

Thinking this, Kong Qing Xiaozi immediately activated his clumsy technique, raising his hand to strike at the girl.

The girl was no pushover; she was none other than Chu Yue, daughter of the sect master of the Grand Dao Sect.

In the Central Province, Chu Yue could have whatever wind she wanted, whatever rain she wanted; she was used to looking down on everyone, so she wouldn't even notice Kong Qing Xiaozi's attack.

In her view, Kong Qing Xiaozi's behavior was practically asking for death.

Chu Yue immediately furrowed her brows, her bare hand like a blade, and she thrust out a palm to meet Kong Qing Xiaozi's attack.

Only a muffled "bang" was heard.

Kong Qing Xiaozi flew backward like a kite with its string cut, crashing heavily to the ground.

He tumbled over twice, finally rolling to a stop in front of Lin Yang.

"Brother Lin, sorry, I made you lose face."

Kong Qing Xiaozi's face was full of regret, his voice tinged with unwillingness.

He never expected that the girl before him would be so formidable.

Lin Yang's expression was as calm as water; he didn't even glance at Chu Yue, and slowly bent down to help Kong Qing Xiaozi up.

He softly comforted, "No need to be so flustered; I'll handle this."

Having said that.

Only then did he slowly raise his head, his gaze indifferent as he looked toward Chu Yue at the doorway.

Before Lin Yang could speak, Chu Yue interjected, her tone full of contempt and provocation: "What? You also want to vent your anger for him?"

"Blabbermouth."

Lin Yang uttered two words lightly, as if clouds and wind.

Then he extended a single finger.

This finger seemed utterly ordinary, devoid of any aura, like a casual gesture from someone who knows no martial arts.

Such a simple action made Chu Yue think it was utter trash; she couldn't help but scoff, thinking to herself, "How laughable, this is like a mayfly trying to shake a tree."

"Just watch how I easily break your attack."

Chu Yue immediately formed a seal with her fingers, and a mighty, extraordinary power surged from her fingertips.

Like a ferocious beast, it carried an overwhelming force to crush and smash, slamming fiercely toward Lin Yang's finger.

In an instant.

A strong sense of contrast hit him, as if a feeble ant were challenging a towering mountain.

The illusion of "a mayfly shaking a tree" became ever clearer.

"Boom!"

A tremendous roar shook the entire private room, making it tremble slightly.

Kong Qing Xiaozi and the female attendant stared, seeing Chu Yue as if struck by a heavy hammer, instantly flying backward.

She crashed heavily onto the doorway, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"You..."

Chu Yue struggled to raise her hand, pointing at Lin Yang, her face deathly pale, her lips trembling for a long time without being able to speak.

As the daughter of the Grand Dao Sect's sect master, she had always been pampered in the Central Province; when had she ever suffered such humiliation?

"What's wrong with me?" Lin Yang asked calmly, unhurried.

Chu Yue, both angry and anxious, shouted at Lin Yang with a trembling voice: "Do you even know who I am?"

"I don't know."

Lin Yang's expression was indifferent; he lightly shook his head.

"You..."

Chu Yue felt a breath stuck in her chest, almost making her faint.

Lin Yang looked at Chu Yue's flustered state, feeling a bit annoyed, and said to Kong Qing Xiaozi: "Kid, close the door, avoid the trouble."

Kong Qing Xiaozi had long been hoping Lin Yang would say that.

He immediately stepped forward quickly.

"Bang!"

He slammed the private room door shut.

He paid no heed to Chu Yue raging outside the door.

Chu Yue, barred from the door, felt her self-esteem suffer an unprecedented affront.

She was nearly bursting with anger.

She turned her head to the dazed female attendant and snarled: "You, go find President Jiang, tell him I'm looking for him, and have him uphold justice for me!"

The attendant looked embarrassed, silently cursing her fate.

She had lifted a stone only to drop it on her own foot, and now she needed President Jiang to back her up.

She cautiously said: "Miss, this isn't very appropriate..."

"No nonsense, just go when I tell you to go!"

Chu Yue glared with anger and shouted loudly.

Just as the attendant was torn between left and right.

A graceful figure came walking over, swaying gently.

The newcomer had a graceful figure, wearing a light purple dress that swayed gently in the breeze; the hem was embroidered with exquisite golden patterns that glimmered in the lamplight, enhancing her elegant bearing.

Her lustrous black hair fell like a waterfall down her back, with a few strands playfully brushing her snow‑white cheeks, adding a touch of charm.

Her brows and eyes were like a painting, her gaze lively and intelligent, the corners of her mouth slightly lifted with a faint smile, yet she gave off an air of dignified authority without anger.

Chu Yue saw the woman and felt as if she had grasped a lifeline.

She hurriedly rose and stepped forward, voice trembling, saying, "Sister Xiangxiang, you must certainly uphold justice for me!"

The newcomer was none other than Huaxiang Xi of the Hero Tavern.

As the proprietor of the Hero Tavern, Huaxiang Xi had extensive connections across the Mysterious Yellow Continent and maintained dealings with all the major powers of Central State.

Chu Yue's father was a regular patron of the Hero Tavern, and their relationship was close.

Huaxiang Xi heard Chu Yue's tearful plea, and her brows furrowed slightly.

She worked closely with the Great Dao Sect, and now that Chu Yue had run into trouble in the Three States, she could not stand by for reason or sentiment.

Huaxiang Xi stepped forward and softly comforted Chu Yue, saying, "Chu Yue, don't rush—take your time and tell me who bullied you."

Chu Yue raised her hand and pointed fiercely at Room Three.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Sister Xiangxiang, it's that guy inside who offended me!"

Huaxiang Xi heard this and was slightly startled.

In her view, hardly anyone in the Mysterious Yellow Continent would dare openly offend Chu Yue.

Chu Yue then embellished the account of what happened; although she concealed some details, the general outline was clear.

Huaxiang Xi listened and gave a slight nod.

Since Chu Yue had asked for help, she would naturally assist.

She fixed her gaze on Room Three and said, "Come on, I'll take you to meet the people inside."

Upon hearing that Huaxiang Xi would help, Chu Yue's confidence soared.

She knew well that Huaxiang Xi possessed formidable strength as a Quasi‑Emperor.

That arrogant fellow before her, no matter how strong, was certainly no match for Huaxiang Xi.

Chu Yue hastily said, "Sister Xiangxiang, I will certainly tell my father exactly of this favor you've shown me today, so he can come personally to thank you!"

Huaxiang Xi shook her head gently, her expression soft yet firm, saying, "There's no need for that."

"If it's truly as you say, and this person attacked you despite your being a woman, I naturally ought to uphold justice for you."

"Sister Xiangxiang, you're wonderful!"

Chu Yue spoke coyly, her eyes full of triumph as she imagined Lin Yang kneeling and begging for mercy.

Immediately afterward.

Huaxiang Xi raised her hand and pushed open the door of the private room.

"Still dare to barge in? Do you think you haven't been beaten enough?" Kong Qing muttered, thoroughly annoyed.
