The incredibly crisp sound of a slap instantly reached everyone's ears.

The scene suddenly fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone stared in disbelief at Chu Xuan, who was standing in front of Qi Feng, rubbing his hands, their eyes filled with terror.

Liang An even slapped himself on the forehead.

No one expected that he would slap Qi Feng without warning.

Even Qi Feng himself couldn't react in time.

The slap was quite forceful, leaving five bright red finger marks on his face.

A moment later, Qi Feng finally came to his senses, and his whole body instantly turned into a furious lion, his eyes bloodshot.

Was he beaten?

Or is it really in front of so many people?

A large crowd had already gathered outside the Talented Scholars Inn, including many famous scholars and talented individuals from various places. Today, Qi Feng's face had been completely shattered by this slap!

Tolerable or unbearable.

He had never been treated like this before. Even his own father would usually only confine him to his quarters for a few days at most, and wouldn't even dare to hit him.

I never expected Chu Xuan to have such courage!

He immediately roared, "Are you all dead? What are you standing there for! Seize this madman!"

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, the guards set off.

He cursed Chu Xuan's ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart.

They didn't have time to stop it just now, and they don't know how they will be treated when they get back.

He wanted to take down Chu Xuan immediately to vent his anger.

Ah Leng was deeply moved when she saw that Chu Xuan had actually taken action against Qi Feng for her sake. So she stood in front of him and was about to take down the guards.

But Chu Xuan stopped him.

Chu Xuan chuckled softly to A Leng and the others.

"Don't worry, leave it to me. This is a small matter, you don't need to do anything."

"Be careful, my lord, those people are all skilled fighters."

Despite her doubts, Ah Leng stepped back upon hearing this, her hands clenched tightly, ready to protect Chu Xuan at any moment.

As the group approached, Chu Xuan smiled mockingly at Qi Feng.

"What, Young Master Qi, are you planning to make a move? Aren't you afraid of losing face for the Qi family by doing so?"

"You madman, how dare you commit violence in the street? Why can't I, this young master, take action?!"

Qi Feng almost roared.

But being a member of the Qi family, he still clung tightly to the idea of ​​"legitimate and justifiable" in his words.

But Chu Xuan found it amusing when he heard this.

"What's there to be afraid of? Qi Feng, do you believe me? If you dare to make a move today, your Qi family will lose all face by tomorrow! From now on, no one in Linyang City will look down on your Qi family anymore; they will only say that you bully men and women!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Feng was taken aback, and then he saw Chu Xuan bow to the people around him and say in a deep voice.

"Perhaps you are unaware of the cause and effect, so let me explain it to you."

Upon hearing this, Qi Feng's face immediately turned extremely ugly, and he hurriedly waved for the guards to stop.

If they had made the move earlier, it wouldn't have been a problem, but now that Chu Xuan is about to explain himself, if they interrupt him now, people might think he has something to hide.

Chu Xuan made a valid point earlier: the reason the Qi family has achieved its current status, besides his father, is because of his prestige.

Damage to one's reputation can have varying degrees of impact. At best, it means losing popular support, which will inevitably hurt the Qi family. At worst, if the news reaches the imperial court, it could even affect his father Qi Chunsheng's career.

Right now, Chu Xuan is about to make this matter bigger.

Noticing the guards' obedience, a smile appeared on Chu Xuan's lips.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am Chu Xuan, a scholar from Lucheng who has come to participate in this literary gathering. Today, I have brought my family with me. My wife has never been to Linyang City before, and she finds this great city interesting in every way. She is naturally a young girl and is excited, so she has said a few more words."

"But she only said she was curious and didn't offend this young master Qi in her words. But what about this young master Qi? He insulted my wife because he thought she was being noisy. I asked him to apologize to my wife, but he refused. In a fit of anger, I took action to seek justice. An eye for an eye, and that should have been the end of it. But Qi Feng, you actually dared to incite the guards to fight and instruct others to injure people in the street. Where is the law?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, people in the crowd who were not yet aware of the full picture began to nod in agreement.

Qi Feng's face immediately turned a liverish color.

So, if you hit me, it's considered seeking justice, and if I retaliate, it's considered disregarding the law?

Inside the inn, a young man dressed in blue shook his head with a smile on his lips, holding a wine cup in his hand.

"This guy is interesting. He dares to argue in front of such people. He must have some guts. No wonder he dared to hit Qi Feng."

"Brother Luo, you jest. That man is nothing but a brute. He is said to be from the Chu family, but he acts recklessly because of his background. He even dared to come to the literary gathering and humiliate himself. How can he compare to Brother Luo?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Luo did not refute it.

Meanwhile, inside the inn, several people were also observing Chu Xuan with great interest.

Qi Feng said in a deep voice.

"Hey Chu, don't give me that nonsense. I admit I was rude back then, but that's no reason for you to hit me!"

"You hit me just because of a single sentence; this is truly disregarding the law!"

"Your father is dead."

Faced with Qi Feng's roar, Chu Xuan simply smiled faintly.

"what?"

Qi Feng was taken aback, as if he thought he had misheard.

Like him, the others also looked at Chu Xuan with puzzled expressions.

What did he just say?

But they hadn't yet recovered from the shock they'd just experienced.

Chu Xuan then said another sentence.

"Your whole family is dead. You can bury them in the cesspool another day."

"You bastard, who gave you the guts!"

This time, Qi Feng heard it clearly.

All the strategies they had planned were completely shattered by Chu Xuan's unconventional words.

Suddenly feeling dizzy, she was so angry that her face turned red. She roared and lunged forward, kicking Chu Xuan in the stomach.

But Ah Leng is standing right next to Chu Xuan, how can we let him succeed?

He immediately reached out and pressed down on Qi Feng's leg, then with a little force, threw him to the ground and then pinned his hands behind his back.

"Chu Xuan! You scoundrel! I will never forgive you!"

Qi Feng was surprised that the woman beside Chu Xuan was so skilled, even more so than his guards, and was subdued in an instant.

Being pinned down by a woman in front of everyone and forced into such a humiliating position enraged Qi Feng.

The guards who stepped forward were also turned away by Chu Xuan with a single glance.

“Anyone who takes another step forward will have their hand cut off.”

After stopping the guards, Chu Xuan squatted down and gave Qi Feng a strange smile.

Qi Feng's heart skipped a beat. Before he could figure it out, he heard Chu Xuan's voice.

"Young Master Qi just said that he only misspoke and shouldn't have been attacked under any circumstances. Then may I ask..."
