"I said, didn't your mother teach you how to speak!" Li Huixin repeated, displaying her fearlessness and aggression. "Come on, Liu Shihua, I'm offering my face for you to slap!"

Their disturbance was unbeknownst to many spectators, and Li Huixin didn't believe Liu Shihua would dare to do anything to her.

So arrogant, too arrogant!

Liu Shihua's eyes flared with murderous intent, her anger boundless, but eventually, she did not slap anyone. She wasn't really irrational and knew what to do and what not to do on such occasions.

"Insolence!"

Just as the room fell silent, Ye Chen bellowed loudly, drawing everyone's sidelong glances.

"Liu Shihua is my woman. She entrusted her complete self to me, and yet you dare to slander her here!" Ye Chen's eyebrows creased, his imposing aura unmatched. "As her man, I must administer some punishment to you!"

Liu Shihua's face turned slightly red. What nonsensical things he was saying, as though she had given her body to him, Ye Chen's words in front of so many people were indeed making the big star a bit shy!

Zhang Xinlan cast a strange glance at Ye Chen. Could this guy be thinking of making a move on his little aunt?

However, due to the special circumstances, neither Zhang Xinlan nor Liu Shihua questioned Ye Chen's nonsensical talk, as they should present a united front against the common enemy.

"A smack in the face, a hard smack in the face!" Ye Chen, like a wrathful monarch, had hardly given the command when a swift silhouette moved ghostlike towards Li Huixin.

"Smack! Smack! Smack!"

The slaps were loud, three crisp sounds.

After hitting, Lin Ying calmly and composedly returned to Ye Chen's side as if she had not been the one slapping anyone.

Li Huixin's face swelled, her initially delicate and appealing face turning into a shoehorn face.

The searing pain mercilessly assaulted Li Huixin's nerves, and in the silence, her tears uncontrollably burst forth. Realizing her own disgraceful state, she attempted to say something, but only drool flowed when she opened her mouth.

"Wuuu wuuu!"

Li Huixin was extremely terrified; she loudly rebuked the person who had just hit her, but she couldn't speak because her mouth was so swollen it barely looked like a mouth anymore; you couldn't even discern her expression, for her face was now twisted.

"Who are you, do you know where this is, daring to make a scene here!" Yuan Lufeng spoke up, but it was already too late, Li Huixin's face was now like that of a pig.

"I dare to make a scene here; do you not know who I am?" Ye Chen did not answer but countered with a question, appearing all the more mysterious.

Ye Chen had a transcendental quality about him. Adorned in an Anima suit and wearing a wristwatch, with a beautiful woman by his side, he seemed every bit a man of extraordinary origin.

And with Ye Chen's explosive shout, Lin Ying ruthlessly acted, delivering three strong slaps that transformed Li Huixin into a pig-headed mess, further enhancing his imposing aura to the extreme.

Yuan Lufeng's face shifted unpredictably as he watched Ye Chen. He really felt uncertain, unsure of Ye Chen's identity!

There are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in this world; Yuan Lufeng is a scion of Emperor Entertainment, a rich second-generation indeed, but his family had only just stepped over the threshold of being wealthy elites.

Yuan Lufeng could act unscrupulously in Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan, but once he left those territories, he'd become a nobody, for there were many more formidable figures beyond those borders.

This Ye Chen—could he be another scion of a wealthy family?

Seeing Ye Chen's wildly cool and impressive demeanor, Yuan Lufeng was uncertain, and even the other onlookers were amazed; this man was excessively dominant!

"Ye my friend, you really came!" Just then, Liu Yingxiong and Lin Yingjie arrived at the scene. Liu Tianwang, seeing Ye Chen, smiled like a blooming flower. "Your grand visit truly graces this place, such an honor truly!"

"Liu has been waiting under the stars and moon, and at last, you have arrived!" Lin Yingjie also laughed. "Ye Chen, you've been quite elusive, being in Hong Kong and Macao for so long and not greeting us two old guys!"

"Haha, you old brothers, don't be upset, here I am!" Ye Chen laughed and responded.

"No hard feelings, no hard feelings!" Liu Yingxiong quickly said. "As long as you are here, Ye Chen, come with me, let's go to the inner venue!"

"Alright!" Ye Chen nodded.

The Emperor's Banquet was divided into an outer venue and an inner venue. The outer venue was just for any Jack and Jill, but the inner venue was where the real powerhouses gathered!

Seeing Liu Yingxiong, Lin Yingjie, and Ye Chen greet each other so familiarly, the surrounding guests were all puzzled—who exactly was this young man?

You should know, Liu Yingxiong is not merely an artist; he's an iconic figure in Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan, with fervent fans all over the globe, a top-tier idol-level figure.

Moreover, Liu Yingxiong himself holds a high-ranking position within the relevant departments of Huaxia, and he owns innumerable assets, even holding shares in giants like Emperor Entertainment.

But judging by the guest list at this Emperor's Banquet alone, it was clear that the elites of various fields were gathering here. Liu Yingxiong was undeniably an emperor in his own right!

And Lin Yingjie, too, was a global superstar, a famous martial arts master, an esteemed figure as the president of the Huaxia Martial Arts Association.

In terms of status, Lin Yingjie was in no way inferior to Liu Yingxiong. Both were extremely influential figures, dragons transformed from koi, and even the big wealthy clans had to treat such people with caution.

However, these two influential figures from different sectors were extremely courteous towards a junior!

Could this person be one of the prominent young masters from the capital?

Yuan Lufeng's face looked extremely unpleasant. Ye Chen's behavior was too peculiar; even Liu Yingxiong and Li Yingjie, two significant figures, greatly respected him. No matter what, he was convinced Ye Chen was no ordinary person!

Li Huixin timidly hid behind Yuan Lufeng. Even though she was beaten to a pulp, her brain was still functioning, sensing the terror emanating from Ye Chen!

"That's wrong, I've met all four major young masters from the capital, and this young man is none of them. Why do Liu Tianwang and Master Li hold him in such high regard?"

"Perhaps, he is the descendant of some major political figure?"

The surrounding crowd, all well-connected, stared at Ye Chen, unfamiliar with him and none of the four prominent young masters from the capital. Yet, Liu Yingxiong and Li Yingjie's treatment of Ye Chen was over the top—almost as equals, making everyone present respect Ye Chen even more.

For ordinary people, the unknown is the scariest thing!

"You are Ye Chen?" Just as Ye Chen was about to join Liu Yingxiong inside the banquet, someone suddenly stopped him. "Having subdued Su Binglan, I wonder what marvelous abilities you have?"

Upon seeing this person, Ye Chen's eyes lit up with a spark of interest. Su Binglan was his cousin?

The newcomer was strikingly handsome and tall, with a dashing and charming smile yet slightly wicked and captivating.

"Su Binglan, such a domineering woman, returned to the capital claiming to have found a lover!" A stunningly refined woman standing next to the man also sized up Ye Chen. "Brother, do you think he can defeat you?"

"I can beat him single-handedly, ten times over!" the man casually remarked.

Lin Ying quietly followed next to Ye Chen, but upon hearing this, she had a weird expression and almost laughed.

Somebody had once told Ye Chen they could beat him single-handedly, ten times over, but that person ended up dead!

"No way, this is Yang Fan, one of the four young masters from the capital, always stirring up storms. What brought him to Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan?"

Lin Ying disregarded the man's words, but someone in the crowd recognized his identity and immediately gasped in shock.

"Yang Fan, what are you doing here?" Li Yingjie called out upon seeing the man.

"Mr. Li, I came to see my brother-in-law," Yang Fan said with a smile. "Mr. Li, you haven't been in the capital lately and don't know it's been shaken up. My cousin Su Binglan has fallen in love, and his name is Ye Chen!"

"Yes, yes!" The ethereal woman chimed in playfully. "Mr. Li, you don't know how much of a storm this news has created in the capital. We came here to get a glimpse of our future brother-in-law's true face!"

"Yang Ling, don't talk nonsense!" Li Yingjie's face darkened; he knew this quirky young lady often spoke shocking words.

This matter involved Ye Chen, and Lin Yingjie had to caution this brother and sister to mind their words, especially since Ye Chen's capabilities were profound, even greater than his own!

"Mr. Li, don't worry, he's my cousin's husband-to-be; he won't get angry, right!" Yang Ling said, her pure, large eyes staring straight at Ye Chen.

"…" Li Yingjie was somewhat dazed.

"My cousin is Su Binglan. I heard you're in love with my sister, but becoming my brother-in-law won't be so easy!" Yang Fan stretched his arms. "My cousin says you're a great fighter. How about we spar a bit?"

"Yes, yes!" Yang Ling laughed, her eyes bright as the moon. "Brother-in-law, just fight my brother. Su Binglan said you can really fight; just beat him up a bit to stop him from thinking he's invincible!"

Ye Chen was speechless. What kind of siblings were these, two complete oddballs!

"Su Binglan, she's your cousin?" Ye Chen asked.

Su Binglan was his woman, and if these two were her siblings, then calling him brother-in-law was indeed more than appropriate.

"Yes, yes!" Yang Ling joyfully confirmed, with a playful air.

"…"

Yang Fan felt embarrassed by his sister's foolishness, but there was not much he could do, considering they were full siblings, born from the same mother.

"Enough talk, Ye Chen, first face my move!" With a rising aura, Yang Fan charged at Ye Chen with the ferocity of a tiger descending a mountain, his tiger claw striking out.

Yang Fan, one of the four young masters from the capital and the primary heir of the formidable Yang Family of Huaxia, a prestigious and mighty household!

Logically, such a scion should be strategizing from behind the scenes, controlling extensive territories, but Yang Fan was not among the scholars; he was famously known in the capital as a martial madman, passionate about martial arts!

Indeed, Yang Fan had the credentials; his martial arts talent was exceptional. At just twenty-one, he could match the super soldiers from the army.

This martial fanatic was only a step away from entering the ranks of martial arts masters, which is why the Yang Family had not forbidden him from practicing martial arts—he truly had a gift for it!

Yang Fan's sudden attack, like a ferocious tiger, alarmed Li Yingjie.

Li Yingjie was not concerned for Ye Chen's safety but rather worried Ye Chen would retaliate and slap Yang Fan to death, having witnessed Ye Chen's terrifying capabilities.
