Huh, are you saying you don’t want to pay?
The man bellowed as he stared down arrogantly at Helian Wei Wei.
Helian Wei Wei did not fear him and retorted,
If anything, it’s you who should be paying me.


I should be paying you?
The man laughed hysterically as if he had heard a preposterous joke. Then, he attempted to push Helian Wei Wei, warning her,
Do you know who I am? In the provincial capital, no one in their right mind would dare to ask me to pay!

Helian Wei Wei stood unmoving and steadily like a sturdy tree, and cheekily said,
That’s because you haven’t met me yet.

When he heard her, his entire body seemingly combusted with fury. He walked up to her and violently grabbed her clothes. Then, he spoke with a deep voice,
What did you say? I dare you to say it again!



When he grabbed Helian Wei Wei’s collar, Baili Jia Jue’s eyes instantly turned deathly cold.
If it were not for Helian Wei Wei grappling Baili Jia Jue’s hand, the man would have been shred into a million pieces.
The reason Helian Wei Wei stopped him was not that she wanted to go easy on the man, but she saw a familiar face walking toward them.
When the person saw her, he immediately shouted excitedly,
Boss! What are you doing here? Aren’t you supposed to be at the imperial…


Chen Liang,
Helian Wei Wei hastily interrupted him with a little grin. Then, she shrugged her shoulders and hintingly said,
Does it seem like an appropriate time for a reunion now?

Chen Liang admitted that he was not thinking straight. He did not want to socialize with the officials, but his father’s position was too high, so everyone in the provincial capital groveled to him. As he was forced to eat and drink with them every single day, he was beginning to feel irritated. I can’t believe I saw her just as I came downstairs!
And… Someone is grabbing her collar?
This is unlike her usual self!
When we were at the academy, she could take on ten people by herself!
Yet, no violence is being used now… This isn’t like her at all!


Despite it, he could not swallow his anger when he saw his Boss being grabbed by the collar.
Without any hesitation, Chen Liang charged in and kicked the man!
He had always been hot-tempered. Born in a family with generations of generals, dilly-dallying was not in his blood.
The powerful kick distorted the man’s face. As he held onto the wooden round table, he roared furiously,
You bunch of lowly villagers! How dare you hit me? All of you must be blind as a bat! Everyone, take them down!

However, no one dared to lay their hands on them.
The man hit the table impatiently and repeated,
I said take them down for me!


Master Liao, this…
The tavern’s owner edged toward the man, seemingly wanting to say something to him.
Master Liao swung his arm and pushed the owner away, yelling,
Don’t waste my breath! Peasants, I’ll let you know right now! My father is the current magistrate, whatever I said is the law in this provincial capital. If you want to escape peacefully, you better kneel on the ground and bow your head three times now. Or else, I’ll send my people to arrest you!


Heh, I was wondering who you are.
Chen Liang chuckled and jeeringly said,
You’re just the son of an insignificant magistrate.


You better believe I can end your life, right here and now!
Young Master Liao was used to tyrannizing the provincial capital all these years. Every time he brought up his father’s name, the people would cower with fear.


He did not expect to encounter three people who feared nothing, neither him nor even the gods.
Moreover, he could hear that they were obviously mocking him.
Chen Liang sneered at him,
End me? Since you challenged me, I’ll accept it. Your dad is the magistrate, right? Do you know who my dad is?

Young Master Liao merely shook his head.
The owner who was standing at the side could not bear to witness his stupidity, and reminded him quietly,
Young Master Chen is the second young master of the governor of three provinces.

Young Master Liao’s expression changed drastically, instantly turning ghastly pale.
Since two days ago, his father had been telling him to invite the son of the Chen family to a meal and befriend him.
He had been asking for two days but he still failed to meet the ‘big fish’. However, he did not expect to meet him under this circumstance.
Young Master Liao deeply wished he had never said those words just now. Without any hesitation, he raised his hand and slapped himself. Forcing a smile onto his face, he uttered,
Look at me, I’m so blind I can’t recognize important people like you. So, you’re Young Master Chen. This is merely a big misunderstanding, causing us to fight each other, but we are a family, right?


Who’s a part of your family?
If anyone dared to challenge his Boss, Chen Liang’s unwavering principle was to chase them away, as far as possible, especially a pile of rubbish like Young Master Liao.


Young Master Liao incessantly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, pleading,
Young Master Chen, please don’t say that! We can solve any misunderstanding that we have!


Misunderstanding?
Chen Liang actually did not know what had happened. He merely saw his boss being bullied when he came downstairs and became enraged instantly. After listening to Young Master Liao, he unconsciously glanced at Helian Wei Wei. However, Chen Liang almost tossed his wine cup when he saw the silent figure behind her!
Third… Third Prince?
What is he doing here?
Did he follow Boss here?
But, but… Even if it was for Boss, the Third Prince should not appear in this rural, impoverished corner of the world! He’s a god-like noble after all!
I even compared my father with that Liao fellow in front of the Third Prince… This is extremely embarrassing!
Chen Liang’s face turned crimson red, scratching the back of his head out of embarrassment. He wanted to greet Baili Jia Jue but felt worried about exposing his identity. Thus, he stood there helplessly, and called out once again,
Boss.

Helian Wei Wei said calmly,
Young Master Liao ran into me, yet he wanted me to pay him. I don’t think there’s any misunderstanding here.

Young Master Liao’s stomach lurched from fear when he heard her. He quickly took out his purse and bent over,
I should be compensating young master! It’s my fault!



Chen Liang’s anger dissipated when he saw Young Master Liao begging for mercy. He did not take the money, but he asked Young Master Liao to leave so that his boss would not be irked by his presence.
Young Master Liao nodded furiously, meekly obeying whatever Chen Liang said. Once he walked out of the restaurant, however, he kicked his servant and vented lividly,
You’re a piece of trash! Why didn’t you tell me that was Young Master Chen!


I, I’ve never seen Young Master Chen before, I didn’t know that was him.
The servant replied helplessly as his face began to swell.
Young Master Liao sneered,
I was unlucky, who knew that the peasant was friends with Young Master Chen! I won’t let this slide! You keep a lookout on the two poor bums. Once Young Master Chen leaves their side, teach those two a lesson!


This… this isn’t a very good idea.
The servant whispered to his young master, reminding him,
Young master, if they are injured, Young Master Chen won’t let you off easily. Eventually, the unlucky one would still be you…
