The Master and His Wealthy Fiancée

The next morning, an unexpected guest arrived at the Chen Family Mansion.

It was Chen Dong.

He didn’t wait for the servants to announce him. Instead, he kicked the Chen Family’s main gate wide open.

”Get Guo Lingtong out here!” Chen Dong roared.

The Chen Family’s fierce servants rushed out angrily. Who dared to speak the name of their matriarch so disrespectfully!

Seeing it was Chen Dong, they all stared at each other blankly. This was one person they couldn’t afford to provoke. They definitely couldn’t beat him in a fight, and even if they could, they wouldn’t dare to strike. Rumors of Chen Dong’s identity had already spread through the Chen Family. The bald man before them was likely the family’s first young master, which would make Chen Rui the second.

The Patriarch happened to be home, so a matter like this would have to be left to his decision.

So, the servants and attendants all scattered to report to the Patriarch.

Soon, a heroic-looking middle-aged man walked out with Chen Rui.

The man’s gaze on Chen Dong was complicated, and for a long moment, he was speechless.

Chen Rui, however, stared coldly at Chen Dong. ”Third Master Guo is already dead. What are you still doing here?”

Chen Dong snorted. ”To cause trouble for your mother, of course!” He then looked at the man. ”Good, you’re here too!”

The man shook his head slightly and said, ”You should leave. The Ancestor has returned. You can’t afford to provoke the Chen Family now!”

On the day the Peace Enforcement Order was issued, the ancestors of the six great families, with the exception of the Tian and Liu families, all left the Qiankun Realm and returned home. Naturally, the Chen Family’s Ancestor was present as well.

Chen Dong sneered. ”Can’t afford to provoke you? You’re right. The Chen Family has always been high and mighty, and I’ve never been able to afford it! But even if I can’t, I’m going to try. I won’t be satisfied until I vent the years of resentment I’ve been holding in!”

At that moment, Chen Dong’s uncles also stepped forward.

”Is this that bastard from back then?”

”Did he run back to the Chen Family to beg for food?”

”Patriarch, just toss him some money and get rid of him!”

Chen Dong laughed loudly. ”My mother was the properly wedded wife of the Chen Family. After that woman arrived, you kicked her off the family registry. Now I’m the ’bastard’ you all speak of. The great Chen Family is a complete joke—just a house full of sycophants!”

”Shut your mouth!”

”Shut up!”

”You bastard, how dare you curse at us!”

”Someone, come teach this brat a lesson for me!”

Not a single servant dared to move. They all knew of Chen Dong’s superior martial skills, but their high-status masters did not. After Chen Dong had caused a scene at the Chen Family before, Guo Lingtong had issued a gag order, so how would they dare gossip in front of these nobles?

When the uncles saw that none of the servants were moving, they were stunned. They started cursing, ”You dogs, you’re defying us now, aren’t you!”

”Get up there and teach this bastard a lesson for me!”

The servants were unhappy about being cursed at. They resentfully started walking back into the house, refusing to watch the spectacle. Besides, they were all Guo Lingtong’s people and were already annoyed at taking orders from other members of the Chen Family. Though they didn’t dare talk back after being scolded, they could just ignore them completely.

Unable to command the servants, the uncles became flushed with rage and embarrassment. With their subordinates disobeying orders, they had no choice but to act themselves. After all, they were all trained in martial arts. They planned to take down the gate-crasher first, then deal with the servants.

A scrawny man in his forties leaped out. It was the Third Uncle from Chen Dong’s memories. He pointed at Chen Dong and cursed, ”You bastard! I’ll teach you a lesson today and show you that the Chen Family is not to be trifled with!”

Chen Dong glanced at him. ’Just a Grandmaster,’ he thought. ’Did he not hear Chen Rui say that Third Master Guo is dead? And he still dares to jump out?’

In fact, the man hadn’t heard. He had still been in a woman’s bed when the commotion woke him, so he had rushed out the main gate to see what was happening.

The man instantly circulated his True Qi and struck at Chen Dong with his palm.

Chen Dong had no interest in dealing with a Grandmaster who had only reached his level by eating Spirit Rice. He threw a straight, powerful kick.

The man only saw the kick coming. He instantly used the Eight Trigrams Dragon footwork to try and dodge, but he felt as though his mind kept up while his body did not. The kick sent him flying.

Seeing this, Chen Dong’s eldest uncle’s eyes turned cold. A protective aura erupted around him as he threw a punch at Chen Dong.

The punch was very much a sneak attack. Seeing this, Chen Dong’s so-called father wanted to shout a warning, but he kept his mouth shut.

Before, taking such a sneak attack would have required some effort from Chen Dong. Now, it was nothing. He sidestepped and threw a similar straight kick, aiming right for the attacker’s face.

His eldest uncle suffered the same fate. He felt the desire to dodge but found it impossible to avoid. One kick sent him flying.

The difference was that his eldest uncle’s protective aura was shattered by the kick, leaving a clear footprint on his face.

By now, even a fool could see that Chen Dong’s skills were extraordinary. He had defeated even a martial artist using a protective aura in a single move.

At this point, two elders walked out. Both were at the Outer Manifestation realm.

Being in the Inner City of Beijing, it was inconvenient for the two to display their Outer Manifestations, and likewise, Chen Dong did not display his.

Without a word, the two immediately launched a fierce attack on Chen Dong. The Chen Family had already lost face. More words wouldn’t bring it back. Only by taking down this brat could they restore the family’s honor.

A cold glint flashed in Chen Dong’s eyes. ’The Chen Family has no sense of shame. First a sneak attack, now they’re ganging up on me two against one.’

He held back no longer. The surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi instantly froze. Countless bolts of lightning flashed, and in the next moment, the two Outer Manifestation elders were twitching on the ground.
