Chapter 326: Don't Go Looking for Trouble for Yourself

~7 min read 1,400 words

"If you have something to say, say it. Why are you making things difficult for a waiter?" Chen Yu said calmly.

"Fine, you've got guts. Do you know who I, Xu Zhangcheng, am?" Xu Zhangcheng laughed in extreme anger.

"I don't know. Who are you?" Chen Yu said calmly.

"Heh, Lili, tell him who I am." Xu Zhangcheng laughed heartily.

"Chen Yu, you are looking for trouble for yourself. Although the company owned by President Xu's family isn't as rich as your Tianyun, he has connections and a network. If for no other reason, it's because President Xu has someone supporting him behind the scenes." Wu Li looked smug.

"Who is supporting him?" Chen Yu asked in return.

"The Qing Sect." Wu Li was in high spirits; she glanced at Chen Yu smugly and said, "Do you know the background of the Qing Sect? From lowly peddlers and hawkers to wealthy tycoons, or even high-ranking officials, all might have unbreakable ties with the Qing Sect."

"Do you really think so highly of your tiny Tianyun? Compared to President Xu, your Tianyun is just trash."

"You are a member of the Qing Sect?" Chen Yu was slightly stunned. He looked at Xu Zhangcheng: "Is that true?"

"Heh, do you think it could be fake?" Xu Zhangcheng rolled up his sleeves, revealing a green dragon tattoo on his arm, then he pulled open his collar to show a huge green dragon tattoo on his chest.

"So you really are a disciple of the Qing Sect." Chen Yu nodded; it was indeed the mark of the Qing Sect.

"So how much effort do you think it would take for me to crush you to death?" Xu Zhangcheng laughed, "In the eyes of the Qing Sect, stepping on you is like stepping on an ant. You still dare to go against our Qing Sect?"

"The Qing Sect is a place that values rules. Since you are a Qing Sect disciple, you should follow the rules." Chen Yu smiled.

"What if I don't follow the rules? What can you do to me?" Xu Zhangcheng pointed at Chen Yu and shouted, "Kid, if you kneel and apologize now, and obediently break one of your own arms, I will pretend today's incident never happened."

"What if I can't do that?" Chen Yu asked in return.

"Then you are an enemy of the one hundred thousand disciples of my Qing Sect, and your Tianyun Group will be wiped out in an instant."

"The Qing Sect doesn't seem like a place that ignores rules like that." Chen Yu smiled slightly.

"Heh, the rules are decided by us in the Qing Sect, not by you. Our Qing Sect is the sky; destroying you is easy." Chen Zhangcheng sneered.

"Since when does the Qing Sect ignore rules? Whose Deacon are you under, and what is your relationship with the Qing Sect?" A deep shout came, and dozens of men in black surrounded them.

The man in the lead was Elder Hong. He wore a long robe, his hands behind his back, his face solemn.

"Elder Hong." Chen Zhangcheng's expression changed drastically, and then he showed a look of panic and surprise.

He was just an insignificant existence in the Qing Sect; although he was a disciple, his status in the sect was low.

In the last few days, he had heard that Hong Chenggang, one of the Six Deacons of the Qing Sect, had come to Fengling. He had been thinking about how to move around to meet Hong Chenggang, but he suffered from having no opportunity, as his status was too low.

But he never expected to see Hong Chenggang here today. Now he was truly both surprised and delighted; he could build a good relationship with Hong Chenggang and use the opportunity to rise to the top in one step.

"I am asking you, since when does the Qing Sect not follow the rules? Saying you'll destroy someone and then just doing it?" Elder Hong's expression was tense as he stared at Chen Zhangcheng.

"Elder Hong, I was just speaking in anger earlier. I absolutely did not mean that. Elder Hong, I am an Entry-level Disciple of the Qing Sect, Chen Zhangcheng. I heard you had come to Fengling and have always wanted to pay a visit, but I was afraid of disturbing your cultivation."

"I didn't expect to meet Elder Hong here today; this is truly a huge stroke of fate." Chen Zhangcheng hurriedly begged for forgiveness.

"Little Chen, sorry, I'm late." Elder Hong ignored him and turned to smile at Chen Yu.

The smile on Chen Zhangcheng's face froze instantly. Elder Hong... knows Chen Yu?

"It's fine, I just arrived too." Chen Yu smiled slightly.

"Haha, I promised to treat you to a meal, yet I, the host, arrived late. I will punish myself with a few drinks later to apologize to you." Elder Hong laughed heartily.

The look of confusion on Chen Zhangcheng's face instantly turned into one of terror, and his hands began to tremble uncontrollably.

This was Elder Hong, one of the Six Deacons of the Third Rank of the Qing Sect's upper echelon. His status and position were extremely high; even the Sect Master had to give him some face.

Such a powerful figure, treating Chen Yu to a meal? Not only was he treating Chen Yu to a meal, but judging by his tone and expression, he seemed quite respectful toward Chen Yu.

Heavens, what kind of person had he provoked? Thinking about what he had just said about killing his whole family and destroying his Tianyun, Chen Zhangcheng felt a wave of urine surging between his legs.

"Little Chen, what is going on here?" After the pleasantries, Elder Hong asked with a serious expression.

"This person is a disciple under the Qing Sect. He is truly arrogant, acting recklessly by relying on his Qing Sect status, threatening to destroy entire families and bankrupt people at every turn." Chen Yu shook his head and said, "Look, this waiter just asked a few questions and was beaten by him."

A trace of anger appeared in Elder Hong's eyes. He turned his head sharply and stared at Chen Zhangcheng: "Is this true?"

"Elder Hong, I didn't mean to." Chen Zhangcheng's legs shook, and he fell to his knees with a thud.

"Didn't mean to? You can beat a waiter like this?" Elder Hong said angrily, "Today I am treating Little Chen to a meal to thank him for saving my life. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have known that our Qing Sect disciples were so overbearing outside."

"Sav... saving your life?" Chen Zhangcheng almost wet himself. His vision went black, and he thought, 'It's over.'

Who couldn't he have provoked? He had to provoke Elder Hong's life-saving benefactor? He was truly tired of living.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Chen. I was blind. I didn't know you were Elder Hong's life-saving benefactor. Please let me go." Chen Zhangcheng was almost crying.

"Does that mean if I were an ordinary person, you could do whatever you wanted?" Chen Yu pointed at the waiter and said, "Who isn't born of a father and mother? A waiter relies on their own ability to eat; in your eyes, they have become a lower-class person?"

"I'm sorry, I was wrong. I deserve to be beaten. I'll beat myself." Chen Zhangcheng slapped himself hard. He slapped himself again and again, cursing as he did so: "I was wrong, I'm worse than a beast, I apologize."

"Men, investigate everything he has done over these years. If there are any violations of sect rules, seize his assets, distribute half of his wealth to charity, and then expel him from the Qing Sect. He shall never be allowed to call himself a Qing Sect disciple for the rest of his life," Elder Hong shouted.

"Yes." The men shouted in unison, stepped forward, and dragged Chen Zhangcheng away.

Chen Zhangcheng was almost paralyzed with fear. He shrieked, "Elder, I was wrong! Please let me go, I was truly wrong!"

In fact, one could tell his character from the way Chen Zhangcheng behaved. Such a person could never do business honestly, so all the dirty money he had made over the years would have to be coughed up. He also never expected that just by eating a meal, he would lose his entire family fortune.
