Urban Martial Saint

When Pi Junchao and Li Wenyuan sat together, Li Wenyuan spoke to him in a provoking tone constantly. Pi Junchao didn’t dare to retaliate at all since his strength was far inferior to Li Wenyuan’s, and his only thought was how to escape this situation. He truly wished he could leave here early.

When Ye Qing brought Shangguan Tian into the room as well, Pi Junchao nearly passed out. One Li Wenyuan was enough for him to endure, and now there was Shangguan Tian too. It was like a death sentence!

Ye Qing acted as if it were quite natural, instructing the waiter to serve them well as if he hadn’t seen Pi Junchao’s expression about to crumble, before turning around and leaving.

Inside the room, Li Wenyuan was looking at Pi Junchao, and Shangguan Tian was also staring at him. Pi Junchao didn’t dare look at either of them and could only pick up the tea cup from the table, pretending to drink tea to avoid making eye contact with the two men.

Shangguan Tian and Li Wenyuan glanced at each other, picked up their tea cups slowly and leisurely, and said, ”Wise Nephew Pi seems to have a good relationship with Ye Qing and Li Lianshan, even sending fifty people to protect Li Lianshan closely. Are you worried that Li Lianshan might be attacked?”

Pi Junchao was infuriated. Li Wenyuan was of the same generation as his father, but Shangguan Tian was not. Shangguan Tian was only a few years older than him, yet he also referred to him in an overly familiar manner, clearly taking advantage of him.

”Big Brother Shangguan is mistaken. My relationship with Ye Qing is merely that of ordinary friends. The fifty men were mainly because Ye Qing was willing to pay; there’s not much friendship involved,” Pi Junchao replied calmly, emphasizing the phrase ’Big Brother Shangguan’ heavily, clearly implying that they were of the same generation.

”So it is. Brother Shangguan, it seems we really misunderstood Wise Nephew Pi,” Li Wenyuan spoke with a light smile, instantly relegating Pi Junchao back to his junior status. I want to call you ’Wise Nephew,’ and I want to be of the same generational level as Shangguan Tian. What can you do about it?

Pi Junchao nearly collapsed, glaring at Li Wenyuan, who was also smiling mildly at him, and said, ”I wonder what price Ye Qing offered? If possible, Gang Leader Shangguan and I are also short of hands on our side; could Wise Nephew Pi send a few men to assist us?”

”I’m afraid that won’t be possible,” Pi Junchao flatly refused. ”Previously, I had enough staff, so I rented some to him. However, these past few days, we’ve become busy too, and are running short on manpower, actually planning to call back those fifty men to help.”

”Wise Nephew Pi, you’re really at fault here. When Li Lianshan needed manpower, you could spare some. Now that we need help, you’re suddenly busy,” Shangguan Tian said with a cold smile, ”Could it be that you treat your business dealings differently based on the individual? Is our face, that of Gang Leader Li and myself, really worth so little?”

Li Wenyuan also looked at Pi Junchao with a cold smirk. The last time Pi Junchao had sent people to protect Li Lianshan made them suspect that Pi Junchao had teamed up with Ye Qing. Thus, the two were extraordinarily united in dealing with Pi Junchao this time.

Pi Junchao felt extremely frustrated inside. The reason he had sent people to protect Li Lianshan was to prevent Ye Qing from exposing what he had done last time and to avoid angering these two men. Unexpectedly, despite Ye Qing not revealing that matter, these two were still giving him trouble, and he didn’t even know how to respond anymore.

Around six-thirty, more than twenty cars suddenly drove into the entrance of the Southern Suburbs Dogfight Arena, none of which bore plates from Shenchuan City. It looked like the arrivals this time were definitely not going to be simple.

Upon receiving the news, Ye Qing and Li Lianshan personally went out to greet them. From a distance, they saw over a hundred people approaching. They were also dragging a few iron cages, containing several fierce big dogs. Even though they were caged, their ferocious barking was terrifying to everyone around.

The leader of these people was a man in his thirties. In the weather of October, he was still wearing a coat, holding a Persian cat in his arms, posing as if he was some gambling king. However, his sharp-nosed and sunken-cheeked appearance made him look more like a street peddler selling lewd videos in a coat.

”Hehehe...” Far away upon seeing Li Lianshan and Ye Qing, the man immediately let out a sharp raspy laugh. It was as sleazy as one could get, the kind that would terrify girls into sleeplessness at night, and even Ye Qing and Li Lianshan frowned heavily at the sound.

”Damn, is this a man or a woman?” Qin Jing couldn’t help but mutter softly.

Chen Jun slapped him lightly, signaling him to be quiet, just watching the few men from a distance. This man had brought so many people with him, clearly coming with unfriendly intentions, and definitely wasn’t a simple character.

Mengjie was following beside Ye Qing and upon seeing a person behind this man, she pulled Ye Qing aside and whispered in his ear, ”Ye, they are from the Western Province Sanhe Gang. That person behind him is Leopard Head, who last time seduced Ms. Bo to try to take over our arena!”

Knowing the identity of these people, Ye Qing knew how to deal with them. He and Li Lianshan went ahead to meet the man, politely shaking hands with him. The man was still laughing piercingly, and said, ”Ye Qing, Li Lianshan, not bad, not bad at all. My name is Xu Yingshi, hehehe, my father is the Gang Leader of the Sanhe Gang, Xu Cunxiao. You must have heard his name. I heard that the Southern Suburbs Dogfight Arena opens today, my father specifically asked me to come here to congratulate you, hehehe, you guys surely wouldn’t mind, right?”

”How could I not welcome you!” Li Lianshan gave Ye Qing a wink and laughed, ”But, Brother Xu bringing so many people here, I’m afraid there’s no room to accommodate everyone!”

Xu Yingshi waved his hand and said, ”No worries, they’re just some subordinates, standing room is enough, hehehe...”

”That’s good!” Li Lianshan laughed loudly and said, ”Ye Zi, why don’t you take Brother Xu and his group upstairs and find a place for them.”

”Alright,” Ye Qing nodded and smiled, ”Brother Xu, please come this way!”

”No rush, no rush,” Xu Yingshi laughed heartily, looking around and saying, ”I’ve long heard the name of the Southern Suburbs Dogfight Arena but never had the chance to visit. For my first time, I must take a tour, right? Hehehe...”

As Xu Yingshi spoke, the hundred or so people behind him almost blocked the main entrance of the Southern Suburbs Dogfight Arena. A few more cars had arrived outside and couldn’t get in, lining up and waiting. One of the cars, seeming impatient, honked its horn, instantly angering the group Xu Yingshi had brought. Seven or eight guys rushed forward, forcibly opened the car door, pulled out the few people inside, and began punching and kicking them.

The folks inside the car had some influence in Shenchuan City too, and the people in the two cars behind belonged to them. Seeing this, the people in the two cars got out, wanting to help. But since Xu Yingshi’s group was too large, those who rushed to help just ended up getting beaten, surrounded by Xu Yingshi’s men for a brutal beating.

”Big Brother, there’s a fight outside!” a subordinate hastily reported to Li Lianshan, whose people at the door were too few to even attempt breaking it up.

Li Lianshan and Ye Qing had already seen what was happening, and Li Lianshan looked rather upset. He knew Xu Yingshi was here to cause trouble, but he hadn’t expected Xu Yingshi to start a fight so soon, which was incredibly disrespectful.

”Brother Xu, today is a good day for the dogfight arena’s opening, could you ask your brothers to tone it down a bit?” Li Lianshan asked sternly.

”What happened?” Xu Yingshi pretended to be oblivious, turned to look, and chuckled, ”Oh, there’s a fight? What went wrong?”

Standing behind, Leopard Head quickly said, ”Big Brother, as our men entered, they moved a bit slowly, and the people behind tried to drive up on them. Our guys couldn’t take it, had a few words with them, but since they relied on being locals, they tried to bully us. There was nothing our brothers could do but legally defend themselves!”

”I see,” Xu Yingshi shrugged his shoulders towards Li Lianshan and laughed, ”Big Brother Li, you heard what happened, we can’t be blamed. Hehehe, they tried to bully us first, and we from the Sanhe Gang have never been pushed around. Everyone relies on their own skills, and if they can’t fight well, they can’t blame my brothers for being too strong, right? Hehehe...”

Li Lianshan was on the verge of exploding with anger, but Ye Qing promptly held him back. For from a distance, Ye Qing had clearly seen another twenty or so cars coming, and none bore Shenchuan City plates; it seemed other outsiders had arrived.

As those twenty or so cars pulled up to the entrance, a person got out of one and called out loudly, ”Hey, is that Brother Xu of the Sanhe Gang?”

”Old Nie, hehehe, you made it too!” Xu Yingshi waved at the man, then turned to Li Lianshan and said, ”That’s the third son of Chen Fuan, the hall master of Western Province’s Hall of Righteousness, Chen Tian. Looks like he’s also here to pay his respects. Hehehe, Big Brother Li, Brother Ye, you two really have quite the influence today, hehehe...”

Qin Jing, annoyed, muttered under his breath, ”Hehehe, hehehe, ’heh’ your mom’s egg, heh!”

Indeed, not just him, but Ye Qing and Li Lianshan were equally annoyed. However, they were in a bind as Xu Yingshi and Chen Tian clearly knew each other, and together they had brought over two hundred men. If Ye Qing and Li Lianshan caused a scene with them here, it might just escalate into a fight. Even if they could fight, the grand opening today was undoubtedly ruined.

Without doubt, Xu Yingshi and Chen Tian had obviously prearranged this confrontation. By creating a scene here, their aim was to infuriate Ye Qing and Li Lianshan, to disrupt the opening ceremony. Though infuriated, Ye Qing and Li Lianshan couldn’t very well start a brawl at their own doorstep!

As the two pondered how to handle the situation, another five sedans drove up the nearby path but couldn’t enter, stopping short.

A girl emerged from the lead car, surveyed the situation at the entrance, and shouted, ”Excuse me, gentlemen, could you please make way?”
