219: To snatch someone away, he even sold his own sister?

Seeing her sister look like the sky was falling,

Huang Tian went against his conscience and began to shower Ye Chen with praise.

"Sister, you're actually looking down on him?"

"Ye Chen is young and promising, highly skilled, and could overturn a behemoth like the Wang Family with one hand!"

"He is upright, acts with integrity, and has principles!"

"He's now a Dragon Group Special Agent with a limitless future!"

"How is such a young talent not a match for you? How are you being wronged?"

He spoke with increasing urgency, veins popping on his forehead.

"Dad said, if you can follow Ye Chen, it would be a blessing from our Huang Family ancestors! It's your immense fortune!"

Huang Xian trembled all over, tears welling in her eyes.

Not from being touched.

It was from anger, and even more so, panic!

She had come here from start to finish only to accompany Wen Yating, wanting to help Sister Yating achieve her wish!

How did it inexplicably turn into her being "introduced" to Ye Chen?

What on earth was going on?!

She instinctively looked at Wen Yating, her eyes full of panic and pleading.

Sister Yating, save me!

Say something, quickly!

When Wen Yating met Huang Xian's tearful gaze, her heart tightened, and she didn't care about much else, just about to speak... suddenly.

"I say..."

Ye Chen spoke first helplessly, interrupting Wen Yating.

"What kind of act is your Huang Family playing?"

"Weren't you just looking for trouble with me?"

Huang Tian's body stiffened, his face burning.

He grit his teeth, looked up as if throwing caution to the wind, and forced himself to speak.

"I... I'm not here to look for trouble, I'm here today to apologize!"

"Before, I failed to recognize your greatness and offended you!"

"My father said that to show the Huang Family's greatest sincerity, he is willing to form a marriage alliance with Mr. Ye!"

Chu Niubi snapped out of it, his eyes widening as he lunged in front of Huang Tian, pointing at his nose and swearing.

"Holy shit! Huang Tian, you kid are something else!"

"After all that circling around, so this was your plan?"

"You want to tie my, Chu Niubi's, master to your Huang Family's sinking ship?"

"Don't even think about it!"

His motives exposed by Chu Niubi, a flash of embarrassment crossed Huang Tian's face, but he continued to be stubborn.

"What sinking ship?"

"My Huang Family is one of the grand three... no, one of the two major families of Yanjing!"

"This is called a powerful alliance! What the hell do you know!"

"Pah!" Chu Niubi spat, turned around, and grabbed Ye Chen's arm.

"Master! Don't listen to him! Their Huang Family has no good intentions!"

"Isn't it just a marriage alliance? Who doesn't have sisters?"

"Although I, Chu Niubi, don't have a younger sister, I have an older sister!"

He paused, his eyes shining, speaking words that were meant to shock.

"My sister, Chu Xiaoxiao, is drop-dead gorgeous! She's much more sophisticated than this brat Huang Xian!"

"Although she got married the year before last."

"But!"

Chu Niubi patted his chest, promising solemnly.

"As long as you nod your head, Master, I'll go back right now and make her get a divorce, and I'll send her over tonight to warm your bed!"

"Is this sincerity enough? It's much more practical than the Huang Family using 'never having dated' as a gimmick, right?"

Bai Wanqing stood to the side, her eyes twitching as she listened.

This punk Chu Niubi... to snatch someone, he'd even sell his own biological sister?

And send her over tonight to warm the bed?

Being Chu Niubi's sister was truly unlucky.

Huang Tian was stunned by Chu Niubi's shocking remarks, his mouth agape for a long time.

When he finally reacted, his face turned green with rage.

"Chu Niubi! Do you have no shame?!"

"Pushing even your own married sister out? Are you even human!"

"My sister is pure and has never even had a boyfriend! She's countless times better than your Chu Family!"

Chu Niubi dismissively picked his ear.

"So what if she's never had a boyfriend? Those with boyfriends can still break up!"

"Besides, there's a saying..."

"No exes on the whole internet, and if there are, never admit it even on pain of death!"

"This is what I call being sincere!"

"Do you understand sincerity? I'm not hiding anything from Master!"

"Sincere my ass!" Huang Tian completely lost it, "I'm going to tear your foul mouth apart today!"

"Come on then! You think I'm afraid of you?"

Chu Niubi also got worked up, assuming a fighting stance.

"I've been annoyed by you, you poser, for a long time. You think you're so great just because you joined the Dragon Group?"

"Today is the perfect time to teach you a lesson on behalf of my Master!"

Seeing the two of them at each other's throats, about to start a fight right at the villa's entrance.

"Enough."

Ye Chen's calm voice rang out; it wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears.

"How old are you guys, still playing house like children here?"

"Making such a racket, what does it look like?"

Huang Tian and Chu Niubi's movements stiffened simultaneously.

Ye Chen looked at Huang Tian.

"I accept the Huang Family's apology."

"Go back and tell your father that what happened in the past ends here."

"But as for the marriage alliance..."

He shook his head, short and sweet.

"Forget it."

"I, Ye Chen, don't need a marriage alliance to bind anything."

"You can leave now."

Hearing this, a flash of unwillingness appeared on Huang Tian's face, and he wanted to say more.

But meeting Ye Chen's calm eyes, all the words got stuck in his throat.

He finally grit his teeth and gave a heavy cupped-fist salute.

"I will convey your words exactly as they were said."

"Farewell!"

After saying that, he turned around alone and walked toward his sports car.

As soon as the engine started, the car sped away.

After such a scene, Huang Xian could no longer stay.

She kept signaling Wen Yating with her eyes.

Wen Yating stood there barefoot, unsure whether to leave or stay.

But meeting Huang Xian's gaze, she eventually walked up to Ye Chen and spoke.

"Mr. Ye, sorry for the intrusion today."

"But please reconsider the cooperation I mentioned earlier."

"I truly believe there are things about you that deserve to be seen by more people."

Ye Chen glanced at her and said nothing.

Seeing his reaction, Wen Yating knew there was no point in continuing today, so she turned around, pulled Huang Xian into the car, and quickly drove away from the Chu Family home.

The villa entrance became quiet for a moment.

Chu Niubi scratched his head, leaned in toward Ye Chen, and gave a cheeky grin.

"Master, what I said just now was for real!"

"My sister, Chu Xiaoxiao, really has both the looks and the class!"

"Even though she's married... tsk, her marriage isn't happy!"

"As long as you nod your head, I guarantee..."

Before he could finish.

Ye Chen's face darkened as he interrupted him.

"Shut up."

"Don't say such things again."

"Treating your own sister's marriage like a joke—what does that look like?"

Chu Niubi shrank his neck after being scolded, looking aggrieved: "I was just... trying to show my sincerity."

Ye Chen didn't bother with him and turned to walk into the house with Bai Wanqing.

"I'm hungry, prepare some food."

"Yes, yes, yes! I'll arrange it right away!"

Chu Niubi immediately livened up again and followed him in eagerly, not forgetting to ask as he walked.

"By the way, Master, when will you start training me?"

"I'm itching to start, I can't wait to get initiated!"

Ye Chen didn't stop, walking to the living room sofa and sitting down before looking up at him.

"You indeed have no natural talent for martial arts."

"You can't practice normal martial artist cultivation."

Hearing this, Chu Niubi's face instantly fell: "Ah? Then is there really no way at all for me?"

Ye Chen looked at him and remained silent for two seconds.

"There is a way."

Chu Niubi's eyes lit up: "What way? Tell me, Master! As long as I can get initiated, I'll do anything!"

Ye Chen spoke slowly.

"Are you sure? This will be harder than you imagine."

Chu Niubi patted his chest and promised solemnly: "As long as I can enter the ranks of martial artists, I'd even eat shit!"

Bai Wanqing, sitting beside Ye Chen, looked speechless.

The corner of Ye Chen's mouth twitched slightly.

"That won't be necessary."

"However, you will definitely have to suffer quite a bit."

Chu Niubi was impatient: "Tell me! I can endure any kind of suffering!"

Ye Chen looked at him and slowly uttered two words.

"Getting beaten."

Chu Niubi: "???"

The excitement on his face instantly froze, replaced by a look of bewilderment.

"Get... getting beaten?"

"Master, you mean... hitting me?"

"Otherwise?" Ye Chen picked up the water Bai Wanqing had just handed him and took a sip.

"Your body needs to have its apertures reopened, and the most simple and crude way is through repeated stimulation from external forces to forcibly clear your blocked meridians and acupoints, taking the path of Body Refining."

"This process will be very painful."

"Extremely painful."

"And it's not just once or twice; it's long-term beatings until your body undergoes a qualitative change."

After hearing this, Chu Niubi's face turned pale: "Ma... Master, you're not planning to beat me to death, are you?"

Ye Chen put down the water glass and looked at him.

"You won't die."

"But whether you'll be crippled or incapacitated depends on your luck and willpower."

Chu Niubi: "..."

He stood there, his brain buzzing.

Eating shit was one thing, but getting beaten was another.

Especially... from what Master meant, this wasn't an ordinary beating; it was the kind where you're beaten to within an inch of your life or crippled!

In all his years, Chu Niubi had only ever beaten others; when had he ever been beaten like this?

But thinking about joining the Dragon Group, thinking about being as awesome as Master... Chu Niubi grit his teeth and stomped his foot.

"Damn it! Let's do it!"

"Master! Hit me! Beat me to death!"

"As long as you don't kill me, beat me as hard as you can!"

"I, Chu Niubi... accept it!"

Seeing his look of readying himself for death, a hint of a smile flashed in Ye Chen's eyes.

"Alright."

"I'm going back to Xiamen City tomorrow, so we'll start from noon."

"Eat more in the morning to build up your strength."

"At noon, you're in for it."

Chu Niubi trembled all over, suddenly feeling that... the midday sun might not be so warm anymore.
