Chapter 1 – Left Hook (2/2)

“Look! Our second young lord has punched him away…”

Everyone jerked their heads towards Qinghan, who was flying backwards because of Qingxian’s fist.

“Bang!”

Eventually, Qinghan dropped to the floor and landed with a loud thud, without raising any dust. The gate section of the City Major Mansion represented the face of the Ye Family; they wouldn’t allow any dust to be found here. Each and every day, the floor was swept several times.

“As you can all see, it is Ye Qinghan who invited me to this fight. I formally announce that I accept his invitation…If he dares to report this to the Punishment Department and accuse me, I hope you guys will help me out as witnesses.” Qingxian clapped his hands to lure the attention of the servants. Actually, he could easily deal with seven to eight people like Qinghan, who were in the first level of the Realm of the Elite. However, on the other hand, he would be more than happy to find a target to beat up whenever he was in a bad mood.

“Er!” Qinghan rubbed his ankle, as he let out a muffled groan. He turned around and fixed his eyes on the high-blown Qingxian.

“Left Hook!” Qinghan spurted to Qingxian, trying to hit him with his Left Hook.

However, Qingxian effortlessly dodged this attack; he even lifted his right feet and kicked towards Qinghan’s belly.

“Bang!”

Once again, Qinghan flew away backward, bending his belly. After a few minutes of struggling, he finally managed to stand up, and undauntedly ran once again towards Qinghan.

“Left Hook!”

“Bang!”

“Another Left Hook!”

“Bang!”

“L… Left Hook…”

“Bang!”

After several rounds, the onlookers began to feel sympathy towards Qinghan. But… The seventh young lord was simply too lousy. All he exerted was his Left Hook, did he not know any different moves? Although the Left Hook was far from a bad move, people still got tired of his Left Hook that was repeated again and again.

“Haha, little bastard, shall we continue? If the answer is no, I have something else to do. I’ll go and find a Qingguan, to sleep with tonight, hahahaha...”

Not far away, Qinghan crouched on the ground with knitted brows. His face and body were smeared with blood and bruises. Despite his physical condition, he struggled hard to support himself up. A ferocious expression emerged on his face, he roared, “Ye Qingxian, I’ll let you remember this day forever!”

Qinghan was so provoked that he acted like a barbaric bear by raising up his left fist and dashing towards Qingxian.

“Haha, it’s you who should remember this day forever!” Qingxian laughed out loudly, he didn’t believe a word that was coming from Qinghan’s big mouth. He could even kick him away blindfolded. Yes! He decided to conclude this tedious fight by exerting some more strength. Although, bullying others was always his favorite thing, he didn’t have that much energy and strength to prolong this fight. In fact, after last night’s “battle” with the prostitutes, he really wanted to go back to his room and take a nap…”

“Left Hook…”

Looking at the approaching Left Hook, Qingxian narrowed his eyes in a slit; he sneered before he consciously moved to the right side, and lifted his right leg, punching out his left fist.

What? Did I miss the mark? When Qingxian suspiciously raised his head and as he did, he was met by a hostile smile and a large chunk of a brick.

“Left Hook, plus Right Brick!”

“Boom!”

The brick slammed on Qingxian’s head with a booming sound, which caused a sharp pain to spread inside his brain. Consequently, he couldn’t see anything except darkness. He fainted almost instantly. The last thought that went through his mind before he fell down, was why there was suddenly a Right Brick! It was always only a Left Hook! Qinghan had surprise attacked him!

- Ah! -

The onlookers were dumbfounded by the result. The second young lord fell down on the ground, while the seventh young lord was still holding the brick in his right hand, ferociously looking at the fallen Qingxian. The cultivator in the first level of the Realm of the Elite knocked out an opponent who was already in the first level of the Realm of the Commander. This outcome definitely changed their understanding of the cultivation theory. Despite the fact that Qinghan gave Qingxian a staggering blow, he had won the fight! It was Qingxian that lay quietly on the floor, not him! Be it a staggering blow or not, it was part of his ability as a cultivator.

What startled the onlookers the most, was Qinghan’s unusual behavior – he threw off the brick and stretched over Qingxian’s body, punching his handsome face.

“I’ve promised you, that I’ll let you remember this day forever…”

“Seventh young lord, please stop. You’ll be in big trouble!” One of the guards stepped forward, convincing Qinghan to stop. Meanwhile, the other servants were all scared to death.

“Hey!” Qinghan raised his eyebrows, “What? Are you going to challenge your master? Do you want to be exiled to the remote places 1.5 million meters away from here? This is a fight between me and Ye Qingxian! I know I was born humble, as the son of the second concubine, but I’m still a young lord. If you don’t want to be exiled tomorrow, just get the hell out of my way.”

The eight guards looked at each other, before wisely closing their mouths. The family rules of the Ye Family were rather strict, no one would dare to betray them.

“Er, I’m not trying to challenge your authority. I’m just trying to convince you, not to get yourself into too much trouble.” One guard eventually continued.

“Hum!” Qinghan shot him a cold smile before he launched the last relentless punch. Soon after, he rubbed his hands and picked the medicine bags back up.

“Brother…”

A girl in a white dress hastily staggered towards Qinghan, she shivered slightly due to grievance.

“Eh?” Qinghan could sense a hint of depression lingering in the air, as he started to expect that something ominous was about to happen.

“Brother, mom, mom… Died…”

-Bang!-

The medicine bags dropped on the floor, the outer layers of the bags tore open, as tree-roots-like herbs scattered all over the place…
