Chapter 17: Jiang Han

*Whoosh! *

As Bai Chengliang threw his punch, Jiang Han showed a trace of disdain, Xuanqi surging in his palm as he struck out without the slightest courtesy.

*Slap! *

Bai Chengliang was instantly shaken, his arm going numb.

In terms of strength, he was still a bit inferior to Jiang Han.

"Haha, Bai Chengliang, you are not as good as me, you will never be as good as me!"

Jiang Han said triumphantly.

But just at this moment, a rapid vibration of the air came from behind his neck.

By the time he noticed, it was already too late!

Yang Yu's palm landed heavily on his back.

*Slap! *

As the palm fell, a massive and violent surge of Xuanqi poured crazily into Jiang Han's body.

Yang Yu did not hold back at all with this move.

Several strands of Xuanqi, refined through the Taixu Divine Art, rampaged through his meridians like countless flying needles.

"Ah! Hiss..."

Jiang Han gasped, pulling back violently to put a great distance between himself, Yang Yu, and Bai Chengliang.

Then, he glared at Yang Yu and said, "You ambushed me?"

"When we can fight two-on-one, who the hell is going to duel you?" Yang Yu chuckled.

"You, you..." Jiang Han hadn't expected the other party to be so righteous about it; he choked for a long while before managing to spit out, "You have no shame!"

Yang Yu gave him a look as if looking at a moron and said, "Idiot."

"Damn it!"

Jiang Han was furious, his figure flashing as he approached Yang Yu once more.

Just at this moment, a charming voice came from the corridor:

"Oh my, Young Master Bai, Young Master Jiang, harmony brings wealth. Give this old sister some face and don't resort to violence in my little shop."

Appearing along with the voice was a heavily made-up woman.

Although she was past middle age, she still possessed lingering charm, and every look and smile was more alluring than many young girls.

However, none of the guests present dared to have any improper thoughts about her.

Because this person was the owner of Fangfei Pavilion, the madam of the girls, Ji Hong.

To be able to run such a large brothel, she was no mere aging woman who only knew how to pose.

She had set a rule: no fighting inside Fangfei Pavilion.

No one dared to break the rules.

Because Ji Hong was very strong.

Once, someone had ignored her advice and forced a fight.

In the end, that person disappeared.

Disappeared in the literal sense; even the corpse was gone.

"Sister Hong, it was my rashness."

As soon as Jiang Han saw Ji Hong, he immediately wilted.

Bai Chengliang also gave a dry laugh and cupped his hands, saying, "Sister Hong, please don't blame us."

"Thank you both for giving me face." Ji Hong smiled slightly. "Inside Fangfei Pavilion, you two should just focus on eating, drinking, and having fun; do not go killing each other again."

Bai Chengliang said, "Sister Hong, my brother-in-law and I came here just to listen to music. It was he who came to stir up trouble first and smashed my brother-in-law's teacup, which is why we fought back."

Jiang Han retorted unconvinced, "You two-on-one, you have no martial virtue, and you still have the nerve to talk?"

Ji Hong looked at Jiang Han and said, "Young Master Jiang broke the teacup first, so he is indeed in the wrong. They countered with two-on-one, so let's call it even, how about that?"

"Sister Hong is right, I accept it." Jiang Han lowered his head, not daring to be stubborn anymore.

Ji Hong smiled, "Then I shall act as the peacemaker; let this matter end here."

Neither Jiang Han nor Bai Chengliang argued any further.

Matters like this were impossible to determine who was right or wrong anyway.

Ji Hong wasn't a judge; she was just stepping in to stop it so it wouldn't affect her business.

If the parties involved really wanted a result, they could just fight it out later outside.

Unexpectedly, Ji Hong changed the subject and said, "But, Young Master Jiang, you broke the cup, and the floor is dirty; you should clean it up, shouldn't you?"

Jiang Han said in disbelief, "Ah? You want me to clean it?"

As a young master of the Jiang Family, when had he ever done such menial work?

And in front of so many people, too.

Most of the guests present were dignitaries or experts of Ning City; cleaning up in front of them was too humiliating.

"What, Young Master Jiang is unwilling?" Ji Hong asked in a flat tone.

Her tone wasn't fierce, yet it made Jiang Han break out in a cold sweat.

"Uh, since Sister Hong says so, of course I am willing... I broke it, I will sweep it, it is only right."

"Xiao Tao, get a broom for Young Master Jiang, and from now on, he will do it all; you are not to interfere." Ji Hong instructed Xiao Tao, then swayed her alluring waist and walked away.

"Yes!" Xiao Tao hurriedly went to the backyard to fetch the cleaning tools.

Although Jiang Han was very reluctant, he still took the tools, swept up the shards, and wiped away the spilled tea...

Finally, he personally returned the tools to the backyard.

A burst of merry laughter erupted at the scene:

"Haha, the young master of the Jiang Family can sweep floors too."

"I bet this is the first time in his life he's swept a floor, right?"

"It's actually quite clean."

"Don't laugh, you guys, you just love the drama."

Bai Chengliang also laughed heartily and said, "Refreshing, serves him right!"

Yang Yu, however, was lost in thought.

This Ji Hong, on the surface, was just there to mediate and didn't take sides.

In reality, she was favoring Bai Chengliang.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have made Jiang Han sweep the floor in the end.

The damage wasn't high, but the insult was extreme.

"This Sister Hong, does she have a good relationship with you?" Yang Yu asked in a low voice.

Bai Chengliang said, "Ah? I have a pretty good relationship with Sister Hong and all the women here."

"As expected of you."

Yang Yu praised him sincerely.

Being a friend to the flower girls and winning over both old and young was a talent of a different level.

Soon, Jiang Han put away the cleaning tools and returned to his seat.

Although he was humiliated, he didn't intend to leave.

After all, the top courtesan hadn't appeared yet.

Since he was already here, he had to see the main event.

After calming his mood slightly, Jiang Han looked at Yang Yu and said word by word:

"Yang Yu, you and Bai Zhi are people from two different worlds; you are not worthy of her."

Yang Yu turned his head and said, "Are you sick?"

Jiang Han continued, "You are far inferior to me; only I, Jiang Han, am the right match for Bai Zhi."

"Alright, another simp."

Yang Yu understood immediately; this kid likely had a 'Simp' entry hanging on him.

After saying that, he activated his Scan skill.

However, there were no entries on Jiang Han.

Yang Yu wasn't too disappointed; refreshing entries was random, and he had already refreshed quite a few today.

"Brother-in-law, what is a simp?"

Bai Chengliang asked curiously.

Yang Yu thought for a moment and said, "You've seen dogs, right? They go *slurp slurp* to lick people, and the person doesn't even care about them, just kicks them away; that is a simp."

"Hahaha, brother-in-law, your description is so vivid. Jiang Han is indeed a simp; he's been pursuing my sister for many years, and my sister hasn't even looked at him properly. Now that you've become my brother-in-law, he must be dying of anxiety."

Bai Chengliang said this loudly on purpose.

Many guests nearby heard it and burst into another round of laughter.

"You, you, you! Ah, ah, ah!!!"

Jiang Han's face flushed red, and he raised his palm again.

But then he put it back on the table...

If he attacked again, he would be provoking Sister Hong, and he would lose his life.

"You dare to fight over a woman with me, I will make you regret coming into this world! Once you leave Fangfei Pavilion, no one will be able to protect you."

Jiang Han gathered his rage into a single sentence and said in a sinister voice.

"Oh? Then I'm really scared." Yang Yu sneered, "Do you know why Bai Zhi doesn't look at you?"

"Hm? Why?" Jiang Han asked subconsciously.

In fact, he couldn't understand it either; he was so outstanding, why wouldn't Bai Zhi choose him?

Yang Yu said earnestly, "Because you can't do it; you are a Heavenly Impotent Man." ===== CHAPTER 18 =====
