Chapter 135: Jiangnan Martial Arts Assembly
When Yang Ling heard Bai Chen’s words, he was utterly stunned.
These were the deepest secrets of the Yang family. How did Bai Chen know?
Yang Xiao Tian was with Si Dao Zi at that time.
Si Dao Zi died on the scene, and Yang Xiao Tian was crippled.
It was clear that the same person was responsible for both events.
Only a grandmaster expert could achieve such things!
But why did Bai Chen know this?
The Yang family had completely sealed off the information.
Seeing the shock on Yang Ling’s face, Bai Chen let out a cold smile.
"What’s wrong? Surprised?"
"However, Yang family, you acted really fast regarding Si Dao Zi’s incident; it seems you didn’t let any news leak."
At this moment, the shock in Yang Ling’s heart was beyond words.
If Bai Chen knew about Yang Xiao Tian’s incident, it could still be considered a coincidence, but if Bai Chen knew about Si Dao Zi, it meant he was related to this matter!
"Could he have been present at the time? What exactly happened?"
“No matter what, this kid is very likely connected to that mysterious grandmaster expert! It’s better to avoid provoking him for now!”
Yang Ling squinted his eyes, imagining a whole scenario.
Rationality told him that Bai Chen was likely involved in this matter.
Then it was best for the Yang family to stay clear of him.
However, while the Yang family wanted to avoid him, the drama of dogs biting dogs could continue.
At that moment, Nan Xuan Fei immediately stood up, looking furious.
"Bai Chen, what are you doing? I asked you to apologize to Young Master Yang! What are you doing?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Yang Ling’s eyes lit up as he looked at Nan Xuan Fei.
He had been worried about not having anyone to trip up Bai Chen, and now this foolish woman, Nan Xuan Fei, could be used.
With this thought, Yang Ling sneered and continued to put pressure on the Nan family.
"I came to your Nan family to seek justice!"
"Is this how you Nan family treats the sinner who provoked our Yang family?"
"It seems there’s no room for reconciliation in this matter; when the time comes, our Yang family will consider cutting off some cooperation with your Nan family."
"After all, much of the cooperation between our two families is one-sided support from us to you!"
Yang Ling narrowed his eyes, and his words made all the members of the Nan family feel a heavy weight in their hearts.
The Nan family was currently ranked at the top among the second-rate families in Lintai, all thanks to their cooperation with the Yang family.
If the Yang family cuts off cooperation, what is the Nan family worth?
Thinking of this, Nan Jiang Hong immediately stood up.
“Young Master Yang, please rest assured! Our Nan family will definitely give you a satisfactory response!”
“I only ask that Young Master Yang temporarily doesn’t cut off cooperation!”
Yang Ling rubbed his chin.
“Well, I’ll think about it!”
Seeing this, Nan Jiang Hong felt relieved and then turned to scold Nan Yue Ran with a frown.
"Yue Ran, aren’t you going to do something about Bai Chen? Do you want him to ruin our Nan family?"
Hearing Nan Jiang Hong’s words, the surrounding members of the Nan family also pressured Nan Yue Ran.
They already knew that Bai Chen was a troublesome person.
But Nan Yue Ran was still part of the Nan family.
Thus, putting pressure on Nan Yue Ran would work much better than on Bai Chen.
Sure enough, when the members of the Nan family, including her own parents, began to criticize her, Nan Yue Ran couldn’t handle the pressure.
Bai Chen noticed Yang Ling’s tricks; he held Nan Yue Ran tightly and coldly stared at Yang Ling.
A killing intent subtly burst from his eyes.
At the sight of Bai Chen’s gaze, Yang Ling felt a shock in his heart.
Now he was even more certain that Bai Chen was connected to the death of Si Dao Zi and the crippling of his brother.
Thinking of Bai Chen having a grandmaster expert behind him, Yang Ling couldn’t help but sweat coldly on his forehead.
“It’s best not to provoke this monster for now; let the Nan family and him deal with each other like dogs biting dogs!”
With this thought, Yang Ling immediately stood up, casually finding an excuse to leave.
Seeing this, Nan Jiang Hong quickly followed.
“Young Master Yang, you really need to think this through! Our Nan family is tied to the Yang family!”
Yang Ling waved his hand, glanced at Bai Chen, then at Nan Jiang Hong, and revealed a playful smile.
“Well, it depends on how your Nan family performs.”
With that, Yang Ling left without hesitation.
After Yang Ling left, the atmosphere in the Nan family’s living room became heavy.
Many people looked at Bai Chen with disgust.
If it weren’t for Bai Chen repeatedly provoking the Yang family, would they behave like this?
Especially Nan Xuan Fei, whose gaze fell on Bai Chen like a sharp knife.
It seemed as though she was using her eyes to punish Bai Chen.
At that moment, Nan Yue Ran felt a blockage in her heart and even struggled to breathe.
Although the families relied on each other, especially for a small family like the Nan family that depended on a larger family for survival.
But they can’t just rely on other families; otherwise, how can the Nan family grow?
Now, just because of a few words from the Yang family, the members of the Nan family are all living in fear, even considering sending themselves over to apologize.
This Nan family is truly disappointing; they have no backbone at all!
Bai Chen noticed that Nan Yue Ran was in a bad mood and scanned the surroundings with a cold expression.
He saw that this group of Nan family members had no awareness of their own problems.
“Humph! A bunch of useless people!”
After all, it was Nan Yue Ran’s family, and Bai Chen could have easily helped the Nan family rise with just a few words.
But seeing them like this, Bai Chen thought it was no loss if they didn’t want to help themselves.
At most, he would just ensure they didn’t die for Nan Yue Ran’s sake.
Bai Chen left the Nan family with a frustrated Nan Yue Ran and returned to the medicinal meal shop.
Gently patting Nan Yue Ran’s shoulder, Bai Chen said softly:
“I’ll make you something to eat. Don’t think about those things; just now, Yang Ling probably knows what’s going on. He won’t dare to provoke me for a while.”
“Eat something and feel better.”
After saying that, Bai Chen went into the kitchen and got busy.
Nan Yue Ran watched Bai Chen’s figure, lost in thought for a moment.
It was like recalling the memories of when she first met Bai Chen; they went from knowing each other to getting married in just two hours.
After that, they began to understand each other more deeply.
Seeing Bai Chen’s actions now, Nan Yue Ran felt her heart warm up.
With a husband like Bai Chen, what more could she ask for?
Bai Chen made a few home-cooked dishes, and they all sat together for a meal with Fang Yu and Zhao Ya.
After the meal, Nan Yue Ran felt much better.
“I’m heading to the Zijin Garden project now; thank you, my husband.”
“Oh, by the way, that girl named Xiao Si Yan seems to be looking for you.”
Nan Yue Ran lightly pecked Bai Chen’s face and then left with cheerful steps like a little girl.
Zhao Ya watched Nan Yue Ran’s departing figure with a bit of envy.
But she could only keep this feeling to herself.
Bai Chen fell into thought as he watched Nan Yue Ran leave.
“Xiao Si Yan is looking for me? Could it be that her Ancestor Zombie Bloodline has shown signs of awakening?”
“Calculating the time, it has been quite a while since I last gave her bloodline. I should go again.”
Just then, Liu Jiaoxue arrived at the medicinal meal shop, looking delighted.
“Mr. Bai, the Martial Arts Assembly in Jiangnan is about to begin!”
