Chapter 21: Master Qi

What’s the most important thing to have when going against someone?

Dear Readers.
Scrapers have recently been devasting our views.
At this rate, the site (creativenovels .com) might…let's just hope it doesn't come to that.
If you are reading on a scraper site.
Please don't.

It was an imposing manner!

Even if one person was going against a group of people, he had to act like he could hold out against a thousand.

Qi Yan knew that after he had spoken these words, Sun Xiang would explode in anger.
But no matter what his attitude was, Sun Xiang wouldn’t be polite to him.
Since the results were the same, he couldn’t let himself suffer.

“Damn, this kid is asking for it!” Sun Xiang was so angry that he smashed a bottle of wine in his hand, and the strong scent of alcohol filled the entire room.
Mixed with smoke and perfume, the smell was unpleasant.
Qi Yan waved his hand in front of his nose.

The person next to him looked at Qi Yan, and then at Sun Xiang whose face had turned red with anger.
He couldn’t help but think that this kid was here to piss off Sun Xiang, otherwise, why would he say such things?

 “What are you guys doing standing there, give it to him!” Sun Xiang looked at the three gangsters standing behind Qi Yan and motioned for them to do something.
However, these three people hesitated and didn’t dare to do anything, causing Sun Xiang’s anger to escalate.

 These little gangsters usually obeyed him like dogs.
What happened today, all of them turned into a pile of wood?

 Sun Xiang was spoiled as a child.
If he were to fight Qi Yan personally, it’s unclear who would win.
The friends who usually drank with him all the time were all frozen at the crucial moment.
He didn’t think much about it when his dad told him that there were a lot of superficial people in Capital City.
Only today did he realize that his dad was right.

He was just a fortune-teller, why were they so afraid?

But the truth was… a lot of people wouldn’t dare touch Qi Yan.

 There were well-informed people who heard about Qi Yan being invited by the Cen family.
Those who were not well-informed were also not stupid.
Seeing that other people didn’t act, they wouldn’t be the first to cause trouble.

The one who joked about Qi Yan being a gigolo hid in the corner, not wanting Qi Yan to see his face clearly.
He only said that to please Sun Xiang, but he didn’t know that Qi Yan was standing at the door.

It was true that no good would come to those who speak behind others’ backs.

　　 The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
Those who wanted to fight did not have the support of the others, while those who were forcibly brought in turned on the host.
The tide turned too quickly, and Sun Xiang was unable to react.

Being spoiled as a child, he had few advantages, but endless flaws.
He was egotistical, impulsive, irritable, greedy and disrespectful.
Having any one of these traits was already annoying, let alone Sun Xiang, who had all of them.

“Young Master Sun warmly invited me here just to show me your face-changing skills?” Qi Yan chuckled, his eyes swept across the faces of everyone in the room.
Those who were looked at averted their gaze.

They felt guilty after being stared at by such clear eyes.

 “Shut up!” Sun Xiang took out the cigarette case, put a cigarette in his mouth.
After the closest escort lit up his cigarette, she retreated and hid on the side.
Looking at the situation, the nobodies didn’t want to offend anyone.

“Let’s talk, why did you embarrass my girlfriend?” Sun Xiang squinted at Qi Yan.
“As long as you apologize and make my girlfriend happy, I will let it go.”

Qi Yan couldn’t help laughing when he heard this.
Sun Xiang wanted to help his girlfriend while drinking with escorts in the nightclub.
It was really ironic and ridiculous.
If he really loved his girlfriend, why did he come here?

Maybe he was too conservative, or perhaps the life of the wealthy was complicated.
In any case, he didn’t understand this attitude towards love.

“It’s my honor that Ms.
Lu looks up to me.
But whether or not I agree to help depends on what I see.
Forcing me to help you is a violation of my rules,” The corners of his lips curved slightly, “Asking someone for help but refusing to follow the rules, that is too good to be true.”

“Who are you to ask me to obey your rules?” Sun Xiang laughed mockingly and let out a puff of smoke, “Don’t be shameless.”

“Then who are you to deserve special treatment from me?” The smile on Qi Yan’s face faded, “Just because you’re ugly?”

 “Ha!” Someone couldn’t help but laugh out loud, so the already awkward atmosphere became even more awkward.

Sun Xiang in fact did not look good.
He had a very mean face.
Although it was impossible to identify a person’s life based on his appearance alone, Sun Xiang’s face was too harsh, and his eyes were evil, which made people think that he was “ugly like a bad person” at first glance.

 Even his own men couldn’t help laughing when they heard what Qi Yan said.
It could be seen that the relationship between Sun Xiang and these so-called friends was not great.

Sun Xiang finally became angry from the embarrassment.
He picked up a wine bottle and slammed it on the table.
The bottle broke, accompanied by Sun Xiang’s wailing.
It turned out that the broken fragments stabbed into Sun Xiang’s hand.
His entire hand became bloody.

 Everyone in the room was stunned.
Only after a few seconds did someone react and call an ambulance and the medical staff from the nightclub for emergency treatment.

Normally, such high-class places would have stand-by medical staff.
In case something went wrong with these wealthy people, they could deal with it urgently before sending them to the hospital.

This was a classic failure at pretending to be strong.
It might seem cool on tv when the character smashes the bottle before a fight scene.
In fact, if you put too much force, it’s not impossible for the entire bottle to explode and hurt yourself.

 Qi Yan looked at Sun Xiang’s constant wailing in pain, raised his eyebrows and sighed.
He turned his head to the man in the jacket standing behind him and said, “Do you understand now?”

“Wh- what?” The man in the jacket looked confused.
His eyes were filled with awe when he looked at Qi Yan.

“It’s good to have a brain.
Use it when you talk and do things,” Qi Yan looked at his young eyebrows and sighed.
“You’re so young.
Isn’t it uncomfortable to wear a jacket on such a hot day? Go home and study hard.
Think about your family and don’t do things that worry them.”

The man’s expression changed slightly.
He lowered his head and said nothing.

This jacket was bought at the price of 68 yuan after he haggled with the lady boss at the night market for half a day.
He had only worn it for two days and it smelled of inferior leather.
When Qi Yan said that, he felt both ashamed.

Since he failed the college entrance examination, he followed his so-called brothers every day to find a “way out” for the past two months, but…

Looking at the wailing Sun Xiang and the sons of the rich who pretended to be worried, he began to feel at a loss.
Was this his way out?

He broke the law for these people and showed off to others saying that he had a lot of experience, but they didn’t know that he was just a dog behind the rich.

Would he live like this forever? He didn’t know if one day he would be arrested for commiting a huge crime and be locked up for 10 years.
Then he would be the so-called cancer of society and embarrass his family.

The man in the jacket was in a mess.
When he raised his head, the master standing in front of him was no longer there.
He looked around and found that he was sitting on the sofa holding a fruit plate and looking at the weeping Sun Xiang with a smile.
The other people in the room, whether intentionally or not, walked around him, for fear that they would accidentally hit him.

Man in the jacket: …

He was indeed a master.

The medical staff from the nightclub quickly rushed over and gave Sun Xiang some emergency treatment.
Sun Xiang finally didn’t howl as much.
Turning his head and pointing at Qi Yan viciously, he said, “You guys get him for me! Get out if you don’t want to help!”

Everyone there looked uncomfortable, but they really didn’t want to offend Sun Xiang, because if they offended him, who would treat them as generously as he did?

As everyone looked at Qi Yan, thinking about whether or not they should deal with Qi Yan, there was a sudden noise in the corridor outside.
The people in other rooms seemed to have come out.

Some people were curious and went out to take a look.
After a while, their cheeks became red and their eyes lit up, “F-fifth Master Cen!”

“Fifth Master Cen?” When everyone heard the three words, no one cared about Sun Xiang anymore.
They all ran to the hall on the third floor.
Even Sun Xiang ran towards the crowd holding his injured hand.

Qi Yan was also quite surprised when he heard that Cen Baihe had come to such a place.
He put down the fruit plate in his hand, wiped his mouth, walked out of the room and stood in the corridor.

After a while, the noise became nearer.
He saw Cen Baihe, who was dressed in a white shirt, suit and trousers, appeared in the hallway with his hair neat and tidy.
He was walking slowly but because of his slender legs, he looked good when he walked.
He made everyone behind him look like potatoes.

A middle-aged man next to him nodded and said something.
He seemed to be the manager of this nightclub, but Cen Baihe’s expression was very cold.
His slightly pursed lips made him look serious.
He didn’t look angry but intimidating.

Qi Yan couldn’t help but think this man looked good from head to toe.

He even suspected that Sun Xiang injured his hand because of Cen Baihe.
He had just had lunch with him just now and got a bit of purple mist from him.
A person like Sun Xiang who didn’t accumulate blessings would encounter bad luck if he went against Cen Baihe’s purple mist.

Cen Baihe walked closer and stopped before he walked past Qi Yan.

“Master Qi.”
