Chapter 2058: Returning In Kind Chapter 2058: Returning In Kind Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation It was not only Xiao Cheng. Everyone else was also shocked by Chu Ying’s actions. At this moment, Chu Ying came over to Ye Chen’s side and smiled at him. “Did I disappoint you today?”  From her tone, it almost sounded like they were lovers, not friends! Chu Ying had never spoken to anyone in such a manner in the Nine Remoteness Kingdom.  It was simply unimaginable! Everyone froze! Chu Ying knew that by doing so, she would definitely attract a lot of attention to Ye Chen. However, this was exactly Chu Ying’s goal! Although her father, the head of the Chu Family, had agreed to protect Ye Chen, there were still many people in the Chu Family who were dissatisfied with Chu Hong’s decision to oppose the Wang Family for Ye Chen. In order to shut these people up, Ye Chen had to prove himself and his worth, and the Ninth Princes’ birthday banquet was the best stage for this! She had confidence in Ye Chen. Under the circumstances where those above the early stage of the Sealed Gate realm could not target Ye Chen, Ye Chen was almost invincible. Almost everyone looked at Ye Chen with envy. To be treated so intimately by a woman like Chu Ying was the dream of every man! Among them, the one who could not accept it the most was Xiao Cheng. If Chu Ying had simply rejected him or chosen a genius who was more outstanding and heaven-defying than him, Xiao Cheng would have nothing to say. However, not only did Chu Ying reject him, but she also chose Ye Chen as her partner for this birthday party? Did this not mean that he could not be compared to this young man? Xiao Cheng’s eyes were filled with killing intent! Chu Xiao, Lan Yufei, and the others also looked at Ye Chen with faint smiles. They knew that a man having wealth he could not protect was a sin.  In short, they believed that Chu Ying was not a woman that Ye Chen could have. It was not a blessing for Ye Chen to be chosen by Chu Ying, but it was Ye Chen’s curse. The Lingwu Continent was such an unreasonable and cruel world. These geniuses who had walked through mountains of corpses and seas of blood understood this principle even more. Xiao Cheng’s expression was cold as he walked toward Ye Chen step by step. The geniuses who were originally jealous started to gloat, as they knew that Ye Chen was in trouble. Everyone looked at Ye Chen. They had thought that Ye Chen would panic, or even ask Chu Ying for help. However, to their surprise, Ye Chen was calmly drinking wine, tasting pastries, and even chatting happily with the little girl beside him. It was as if he did not care that Xiao Cheng was walking toward him. Very soon, Xiao Cheng arrived in front of Ye Chen. He said with a cold expression, “Brother, I’m Xiao Cheng. May I know your name?” “Ye Chen,” Ye Chen replied calmly as he glanced at him. Xiao Cheng casually took a cup of wine and raised his eyebrows at Ye Chen. “Brother Ye, let’s be friends. Shall we have a drink?” Ye Chen did not mind. He casually picked up the wine cup beside him and clinked it with Xiao Cheng’s before finishing the wine. As for Xiao Cheng? He watched as Ye Chen downed the full glass of spirit wine in one gulp. A murderous look appeared on his face. With a wave of his hand, he took out a wine jug. Inside the jug was the strongest spiritual wine in the Divine Spring Pavilion. He casually raised his wine cup and touched his lips. Then, he shook his head and said, “This wine is not to my liking.”  Ji Lin rolled his eyes at the stranger.” If it’s not to your liking, then don’t drink it.” However, before Ji Lin could react, the strong liquor was poured all over Ji Lin’s head. “Where did this random child come from? Who gave you the right to speak here?” Ji Lin was drenched and left in a sorry state. The wine stained her hair, and there was a helpless look on her face. Ji Lin’s heart was filled with rage. When had she ever suffered such injustice? Ye Chen’s killing intent exploded.  He did not care if others bothered him, but messing with Ji Lin was taboo, and would be repaid in kind. Ye Chen was about to attack when Ji Lin’s little hand suddenly grabbed Ye Chen. “Ye Chen, I’m fine. I’ll just dry myself. Don’t cause trouble.” Ye Chen’s eyes were filled with surprise. Was this really Ji Lin? Should Ji Lin not be angry? Should she not be cursing? Soon, he noticed that Ji Lin’s eyes were red and his fists were clenched tightly. He understood now. Ji Lin must have noticed that this place was unusual and did not want to cause trouble for him. She was willing to endure the humiliation silently and protect Ye Chen in this way. It seemed that she had grown up. Beneath that mischievous look was a scarred yet mature heart. “You don’t have to do this,” Ye Chen held Ji Lin’s hand tightly. “You look like an adult now.” “Your sister isn’t here, so I have to watch over you in her stead.” “Leave the rest to me.” After saying that, Ye Chen ignored Ji Lin’s worried gaze and looked at Xiao Cheng. The atmosphere froze for a moment. Everyone was even a little excited. Could it be that Ye Chen was going to antagonize Xiao Cheng? If so, there would be a good show to watch! As for Xiao Cheng, a smile appeared on his face. When he heard Ye Chen’s name, he was ready to make a move, as last night, he met with the Divine Wind Academy’s people. Today, he would destroy Ye Chen’s reputation and even kill him! “Brother Ye, I’m sorry. My hand just slipped.” He smiled. “I didn’t mean anything else by that.” “However, some wild children come and go in such places. They really need to be disciplined.” At this point, he poured another glass of wine and toasted Ye Chen with a bright smile. “Brother Ye, accept this glass of wine as my apology.” “Today is a major event for the Nine Remoteness Kingdom. Why don’t we bury the hatchet?” However, Ye Chen had no intention of drinking. “What’s wrong? Brother Ye doesn’t want to drink?” Xiao Cheng frowned and pretended to be confused. In everyone’s opinion, there was nothing wrong with his actions. What if Ye Chen turned hostile and attacked him? Then, he could not be blamed for defending himself. As for that child, she was just the right catalyst he needed to piss off Ye Chen. However, under everyone’s watchful gaze, Ye Chen slowly raised his glass. Then, wine fell directly on Xiao Cheng’s head. “I’m sorry. My hand slipped too.” The surroundings suddenly fell silent. Behind Ye Chen, Ji Lin’s body was trembling. She tugged on Ye Chen’s hand and wanted to say something, but in the end, she could only swallow her words and cry quietly. On the other hand, Xiao Cheng’s eyes were burning with rage, and his veins were bulging. This time, he did not hide his killing intent! “Ye Chen, do you know what you’re doing?” “You dare to anger the Nine Remoteness Kingdom for a little brat?” “Get this straight. You’re just an outsider!” Ye Chen looked at Xiao Cheng with a calm gaze and said indifferently, “A long time ago, I was a good-for-nothing who was humiliated endlessly.” “Until a pair of sisters appeared and protected me for five years.” “I swore at that time that I would protect them for the rest of my life.”
