After being forced into a marriage of convenience, a master of metaphysics manipulates a cold and al

"...Am I really that weak?"

Ye Bai felt a sudden toothache and realized that this woman's words were truly awful. No wonder she had almost angered Zhu Jiuyou to death at the dinner table earlier.

"hehe."

Qin Wanqing smiled dismissively, not bothering to answer at all.

"What the hell..."

Ye Bai rolled his eyes in anger and was about to retort when his phone suddenly rang.

After the call connected, Lu Sita's extremely respectful voice came from inside.

"Mr. Ye, where are you? I have something important to report to you..."

Upon hearing this, Ye Bai's heart stirred, and he said, "I'm at the Zhu Family Manor. Come find me."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Bai looked at Qin Wanqing and chuckled, "We have thugs now."

Shen Lu is too young and her combat power is limited, but Lu Sita is different.

Don't be fooled by how weak this scoundrel from the Xuanmen sect appears in front of Ye Bai; he is actually among the top experts.

Having the other party come over would save him the trouble of doing it himself.

Ye Bai was very interested in making money and eating delicious food, but he decided to skip teaching those weaklings a lesson.

As the leader of the Xuanmen sect, there is absolutely no sense of accomplishment in bullying ordinary people.

Once this gets out, their reputation will be completely ruined.

"The people you brought in? Are they just those same old cronies again?"

Qin Wanqing frowned, somewhat displeased.

Ye Bai knew a guy named "Ding Shuai," and Qin Wanqing knew him too; she had seen him at the November Bar not long ago.

He looked slovenly, like one of those low-level thugs on the street.

Moreover, he was extremely lecherous. Although he didn't show any lecherous behavior towards her, he kept staring at Zhu Daji and Xiang Xinyi, almost drooling all over the place.

Qin Wanqing has always disliked men who can't take their eyes off pretty women.

She was even more displeased after hearing from Shen Lu that Ding Shuai was also engaged in some potentially illegal businesses in the ghost market.

Although the Qin family is the most powerful family in Jingzhou, they have always done legitimate business and avoid those shady characters like the plague.

More importantly, under normal circumstances, Ye Bai would just occasionally associate with such people, since not all those who engage in shady dealings are bad people.

But today is a crucial occasion, involving a battle for face between two powerful families.

Ye Bai is unreliable enough as it is; if we bring in someone even more unreliable, who knows how much the Zhu family will laugh at us.

"Don't worry, I can't guarantee anything else, but they're definitely a hundred times better than the Qin family's bodyguards."

Ye Bai didn't bother to pay attention to Qin Wanqing's sarcasm and said confidently.

"...You really dare to brag about anything. It seems I should set up a cattle farm for you in the future, otherwise the cattle in the entire Jingzhou wouldn't be enough for you to brag about."

Qin Wanqing didn't believe Ye Bai's nonsense at all, but still called two bodyguards from the Qin family over.

Since the stage assassination incident, Qin Wanqing now attaches great importance to security. She takes a sufficient number of bodyguards with her wherever she goes, and they are all top-notch.

Today's visit to the Zhu family was no exception, so it didn't take long for the Qin family's bodyguards to arrive.

Ye Bai knew both the man and the woman; they had been there when he was at the TV station last time.

The boy's name is "Qin Zhong" and the girl's name is "Qin Na". They are both orphans adopted by the Qin family and raised from a young age.

Both of them have very ordinary looks; they're the kind of people you'd easily miss if you threw them into a crowd.

However, he exuded a powerful aura, making him one of the top bodyguards in the Qin family.

Qin Wanqing dared to accept the Zhu family's challenge because of these two people.

"Let's go, don't keep them waiting."

Qin Wanqing gave an order, then raised her delicate eyebrows at Ye Bai, a half-smile on her face, and said, "Your cronies probably won't dare to come after hearing about the Zhu family. Are you still planning to wait for him here?"

As soon as he finished speaking, before Ye Bai could even open his mouth, a somewhat fearful voice rang out from not far away.

"Mr. Ye, I'm sorry, I'm not late, am I?"

A middle-aged man ran over quickly. He was wearing a suit, had short hair, wore black-rimmed glasses, and was carrying a black briefcase.

He looks honest and unassuming, much like a salesperson from an insurance company.

"...These are the helpers you summoned?"

Qin Wanqing was dumbfounded. No matter how she looked at it, this guy didn't seem to be a master at all.

What she didn't notice was that when Tiechui and the two Qin family bodyguards saw Lu Sita, their bodies tensed up instinctively, and their eyes showed a mixture of fear and vigilance.

All three of them can be considered top-tier experts among ordinary people, and they have a very keen sense of danger.

Although this middle-aged man seemed ordinary, he was like a lurking beast, giving them a sense of unease that made their hair stand on end as soon as they got close.

As for why they didn't react to Ye Bai at all, it can only be said that the difference in their levels was too great.

There is a state of being called returning to simplicity and authenticity.

"Yes, that's him."

Ye Bai smiled and nodded, then looked at Lu Sita and nodded in satisfaction, saying, "This design is good."

After temporarily agreeing to let Lu Sita do things for him, Ye Bai naturally wouldn't let him continue in his previous black-robed Taoist attire.

Wearing a Taoist robe and a Taoist bun all day long, he wanders around everywhere, which is really too eye-catching.

So the first order Ye Bailu gave was to make him change his appearance, making his clothes and hairstyle more normal.

So far, Lu Sita is quite obedient, but he lacks taste.

But that's not necessarily a bad thing. He's just a lackey and thug; what's the point of having such an outstanding appearance?

"I'm glad you're satisfied, Mr. Ye."

Lu Sita wiped away a cold sweat and bowed repeatedly in a state of trepidation.

To others, Ye Bai was just an ordinary person, but to him, he was a devil who would devour people without spitting out the bones.

He dared not be careless in serving such a powerful figure, and he had to resolutely carry out any order from the other party without any discount.

"Alright, let's hurry up and go over there, don't keep those guys waiting."

Zhu Daji began to urge them on, her charming face filled with excitement.

At first, she was very angry when Zhu Jiuyou did this.

But after Qin Wanqing agreed, Zhu Daji realized that it might not be such a bad thing after all.

Whether it was Zhu Jiuyou being taught a lesson by Qin Wanqing and losing prestige, or the Qin family bodyguards being beaten black and blue and causing Queen Qin to lose face, it was a win-win situation for her.

Qin Wanqing was also in a good mood, and she had absolute confidence in Qin Zhong and Qin Na.

Ye Bai was also very happy. With Lu Sita as his henchman, he didn't need to personally bully those kids.

The only one who was unhappy was probably Shen Lu.

The little girl pouted, looking so wronged she was about to cry.

Although she wasn't very bright, she did know Lu Sita's strength.

With such a top-tier expert present, she probably has absolutely no chance of stepping into the ring.

To single-handedly take down the entire Zhu family was her long-held dream...
