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

As the saying goes, even a clay figure has a bit of temper, let alone Ye Bai.

He does have a pretty good temper; he's the type who's emotionally stable and rarely gets angry.

But that doesn't mean he'll remain indifferent when others are urinating on his neck.

Previously, out of respect for Zheng Wushuang, Ye Bai was too lazy to argue with Zhao Wuyai.

Unexpectedly, the other party took advantage of his kindness and relentlessly targeted him, which made Ye Bai angry.

Especially since Mi Zi was truly at odds with Zhao Wuyai for his sake, what kind of person would he be if he just sat here watching the show?

"Ye Bai, how dare you speak to Young Master Zhao like that! Our Ye family has raised you for so many years, haven't we taught you what manners are?"

"What kind of existence is the Zhao family? How dare you insult them? You are utterly ignorant of your own limitations!"

"You married Qin Wanqing, and it's bad enough that you stole Zhao Gongzi's love, but now you dare to take advantage and act innocent. You've gone too far!"

As soon as Ye Bai finished speaking, Ye Xuanyuan jumped out and began to scold him, adopting the demeanor of an elder brother.

At the same time, Ye Xuanyuan had to pinch his thigh hard to keep himself from laughing out loud.

This was exactly the effect he wanted, and Ye Bai and Zhao Wuyai certainly didn't disappoint him.

Judging from this situation, it seems like people could be fighting each other to the death at any moment, which is something to look forward to.

No matter who suffers the loss in the end, he is the biggest winner!

In order to maximize the conflict between the two sides, he had to add the final spark.

As it turns out, he not only started the fire successfully, but he even added a bucket of oil to it!

When Zhao Wuyai heard Ye Xuanyuan say that Ye Bai was insulting the Zhao family, his face turned very ugly.

For someone from a wealthy family like him, the honor of the family is something he must value.

Every scion of a wealthy family, while enjoying the rights granted to them by their family, must also fulfill their own obligations.

But before he could even react, Ye Xuanyuan's second critical strike came instantly!

Upon hearing the name "Qin Wanqing," Zhao Wuyai's eyes instantly turned red.

Upon hearing the words "stealing love with a knife," Zhao Wuyai's body began to tremble.

Finally, upon hearing the phrase "getting the benefit but still acting innocent," Zhao Wuyai couldn't hold back any longer. He waved his hand and shouted at the Zhao family bodyguards, "Damn it! What are you all standing there for? Cripple this adopted son of the Ye family!"

Upon hearing this, the Zhao family bodyguards did not hesitate at all and rushed towards Ye Bai.

"Let's see who dares to touch my master!"

With a roar, Mi Zizhen charged forward without hesitation, instantly engaging in a fierce fight with the Zhao family's bodyguards.

As expected of a celebrity with exceptional skills, his speed is truly impressive.

Unfortunately, martial arts stars are mostly skilled in routines that are more suited to martial arts performance.

The focus is on presenting a graceful and elegant aesthetic on camera, rather than actual combat.

It's just a pretty facade!

They look beautiful, but they're terrible at fighting.

Mi Zi is in better shape, after all, she has practiced martial arts since she was a child, so her physical strength is not a big problem.

However, this advantage is limited to this; there is still a significant gap between them and bodyguards who have received professional combat training.

In particular, as one of the four great families in Jingzhou, the Zhao family employs and trains elite bodyguards.

Although the people Zhao Wuyai brought with him were not the most elite in the Zhao family, they were enough to deal with Mi Zizhen.

Bang bang bang!

With several muffled thuds, Mi Zizhen was unsurprisingly knocked to the ground.

Fortunately, the Zhao family bodyguards recognized him and knew he was a martial arts star, so they were very careful in their actions.

At least, it wasn't sprayed on their face.

"elder brother!"

Finally realizing what was happening, Mi Qianqian exclaimed in surprise and rushed over to help Mi Zizhen up from the ground.

The Zhao family bodyguards didn't continue their attack. They were perfectly capable of beating up the millet, but they simply couldn't bring themselves to lay a hand on such a beautiful young woman.

"Zhao Wuyai, you've gone too far! I won't stop you if you want to teach Ye Bai a lesson, but why did you hit my brother-in-law!"

Li Fengyun also ran to Mi Qianqian's side, acting as her protector while complaining to Zhao Wuyai.

He actually had a fairly good relationship with Zhao Wuyai, after all, they were "comrades-in-arms" who groveled before the Queen of Qin, so they had some friendship.

"Fine, I'll give you face and let the matter drop. But don't interfere in what's between me and Ye Bai!"

Zhao Wuyai snorted coldly; he didn't want to really offend Li Fengyun.

Among the four powerful families in Jingzhou, the Qin family and the Zhu family have always had a close relationship.

Although conflicts may occasionally occur among the younger generation, the older generation remains close friends.

On major issues, the two countries are basically on the same side.

Although the Zhao family is powerful, it is extremely difficult for them to contend with the Qin family alone, let alone with the Zhu family added to the mix.

This is also why the Zhao family has been constantly trying to win over allies and getting very close to the Ye family, a newly emerging wealthy family.

Although the Ye family is gaining momentum, it still lacks sufficient foundation and lags far behind established wealthy families.

Therefore, even if the Li and Zhao families among the four powerful families cannot become allies, they absolutely cannot become enemies.

"They really think I'm an easy target..."

Ye Bai shook his head, walked up to the true form of the millet seed, examined it for a while, and then suddenly asked, "Do you really want to become my disciple?"

Upon hearing this, Mi Zizhen, who had been somewhat dejected, suddenly perked up and became as energetic as if he had been injected with chicken blood. He excitedly said, "More real than real gold! Master... you... you finally agreed to take me in?"

At this point, Mi Zizhen's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly said, "Master, why don't we let them beat me up again?"

Ye Bai looked completely bewildered at Mi Qianqian: "What do you mean?"

"What my brother meant was that he felt you only accepted him as a disciple because he got beaten up, but he wasn't seriously injured, so he felt bad and wanted to be beaten up even harder, so it would seem more respectable..."

Mi Qianqian tilted her head and thought for a moment before explaining to Ye Bai.

"Yes, yes, that's exactly what I mean! As expected of my sister, we brothers are truly on the same wavelength!"

Mi Zizhen nodded vigorously, her mouth almost reaching her ears in a wide grin, clearly very happy.

Ye Bai was completely dumbfounded. It took him a while to come to his senses. He quickly shook his head and said, "You misunderstood. I have no intention of taking you as my disciple."

If he dared to take in this guy with serious mental problems into the Xuanmen sect, the old celestial master would probably come to clean house once he found out.

To avoid a tragedy, Ye Bai decided to let it go.

"...Master, you can't do this to people like this!"

Mi Zizhen was filled with grief and indignation, and almost burst into tears.

"Don't cry yet. I won't take you as my apprentice, but I can still teach you some things."

Ye Bai laughed.

"Enough! Ye Bai, stop playing tricks and stalling for time! If I'm not mistaken, you just sent a message to the Qin family's bodyguards, telling them to come and rescue you right away, didn't you?"

"That's a good idea, but do you think I'll give you that much time? What are you waiting for? Get started!"

Zhao Wuyai let out a sinister laugh and gave another order to the Zhao family bodyguards.

Ye Bai completely ignored the young master of the Zhao family and then said to Mi Zizhen, "Now, open your eyes wide and see what real kung fu is."

Before he could finish speaking, Ye Bai raised his hand and slapped the chest of the Zhao family bodyguard who had rushed over.

boom!

With a muffled thud, the tall and muscular Zhao family bodyguard was instantly sent flying through the air, flying several meters away!
