Chapter 688 - 687: The Arrogant Lao Guoqiang
"Sorry, this is just a small stall, selling some snacks like oily tea is fine, but as for what you’re asking, I’m really powerless." The boss said somewhat apologetically, after all, a business person has to go to the supermarket to buy beef just for one customer?
Isn’t that a joke?
"Damn it, are you still doing business or not? A customer is ordering, and you’re not rushing to prepare, just mumbling around here. Believe it or not, I’ll smash your stall later?"
Lao Guoqiang started venting his anger, feeling very pleased suddenly.
Wu Mengting and Chen Tianlong beside him watched this person being arrogant and despotic, somewhat disdainful. A person selling oily tea, you’re forcing them to prepare five pounds of beef, that’s clearly making things difficult.
However, Chen Tianlong decided to stay detached since Lao Guoqiang hadn’t interfered with him yet, so he had no opportunity to intervene. Anyway, this person wasn’t worth mentioning, but Hao Ren beside him posed a bit of a problem.
Judging from the Powerful Qi Wave from Hao Ren, this guy has leveled up during this period. Even though Chen wasn’t running his Heart Method, it’s hard to see what level he has reached instantly.
Thinking about this, Chen Tianlong furrowed his eyebrows. In this situation, his intervention seems wrong. He had no choice but to sit and watch the changes unfold.
"Young masters, please don’t make things difficult for me. This is just a small business on the side, not a grand restaurant."
The uncle saw that the two looked tall and large, and their attire obviously indicated they were wealthy. He didn’t dare to oppose them.
"Damn it, did you **** hear me, or what?"
Lao Guoqiang began to roar, completely disregarding everything, "I know you don’t have it here, but you have legs, why don’t you run for it? Screaming here and wasting time."
"I... young masters, I don’t know how to make beef dishes, please spare me." The boss knew they were deliberately playing with him, but he had no way out, so he could only plead.
"Bang!"
A sharp sound startled Wu Mengting, almost spilling the bowl of oily tea. Lao Guoqiang had slammed his palm on the table, splintering it into pieces all over the ground.
"Oh my, young masters, I’m really...."
The oily tea boss kneeled on the ground with a "thump", knowing he had offended this person, he spoke in panic.
"Damn it, stop yelling!" Hao Ren saw Lao Guoqiang had started acting, as his accomplice, he had to show some loyalty.
He kicked the oily tea boss’s belly, causing the boss to nearly faint from the pain.
"Oww...." The boss fell to the ground, clutching his stomach and pleading, "Please, stop hitting."
"Stop yelling!"
Lao Guoqiang was enjoying himself, how could he possibly stop? He walked over, intending to deliver another kick to the oily tea boss’s belly. But his leg suddenly stopped in the air because a big hand tightly gripped his leg with such force that made Lao Guoqiang’s leg ache.
"You brat, let go of me!"
Seeing Chen Tianlong’s cold smile, Lao Guoqiang looked as if he saw a devil. This kid was always lingering like a ghost; the scene from the morning was still vivid, now being grasped like this, Lao Guoqiang instinctively felt something was wrong.
But before he could react, there was a "snap", Chen Tianlong swept him away like autumn leaves. His arm followed the momentum in a fling, and Lao Guoqiang’s body soared into the air before being tossed a few feet away.
"Boom...."
A dull sound echoed as Lao Guoqiang was heavily slammed onto the ground, even cracking the cement floor, proving the strength wasn’t ordinary.
Lao Guoqiang wasn’t taken by surprise this time. Chen Tianlong didn’t sneak attack; he paused deliberately after grabbing him. But due to Lao Guoqiang’s lack of skill, he was easily handled by Chen Tianlong.
If it were Hao Ren, it surely wouldn’t be as easy.
"Ouch, my bottom, Young Master Hao, please finish off this kid." Despite the pain from the fall, Lao Guoqiang didn’t forget to deal with Chen Tianlong.
Hao Ren certainly heard Lao Guoqiang’s words, but to confront Chen Tianlong directly, he hesitated a bit before slowly advancing towards him.
"Chen Tianlong, it’s time we settled our grudges."
Hao Ren’s confidence was weak, while Chen Tianlong was a bit frustrated. If he fooled Hao Ren a little, it might work, but actually fighting him, he wasn’t sure of winning.
"Oh? You sure about challenging me?" Chen Tianlong pretended to be calm, unable to show nervousness. If Hao Ren noticed, then it would be over.
"I’m... I’m not challenging you, but... you hurt my friend Lao Guoqiang."
Hao Ren was trying to find a better reason. If it had been for revenge, last time Chen Tianlong and he didn’t have much of a feud, more of a grudge with their grandfather.
"Alright, you sure you’re standing up for this guy?"
Chen Tianlong stepped forward proudly, "If I cripple you later, don’t blame me. I’ve let you off once, but this time you’ll crawl back."
As expected, Hao Ren wilted at Chen Tianlong’s threat.
He really didn’t know Chen Tianlong’s true strength, this person was genuinely enigmatic and unpredictable.
"Hao Ren, don’t listen to his nonsense. He’s just at Yellow Dao level four. I was caught because of carelessness earlier, and you’ve reached Yellow Dao level five; surely you can effortlessly defeat him. Finish him off quickly."
Lao Guoqiang had climbed up but his leg seemed sprained, walking uncomfortably.
Originally, Hao Ren didn’t want to clash with Chen Tianlong, but he couldn’t disregard Lao Guoqiang’s face. He couldn’t appear weak in front of him, so after considering for a while, he decided to step forward and exchange blows with Chen Tianlong, trying his best regardless of the result.
During these two months, his grandfather Han Yun forcibly inducted him into the cultivator ranks, even ingesting six Qi Gathering Pills in succession, advancing directly to Yellow Dao level five, though the body was still somewhat strained.
Now facing a battle with Chen Tianlong, he wasn’t sure if he would manage.
Seeing Hao Ren preparing, Chen Tianlong felt a bit frustrated as the person was ready to attack, and bluffing was of no use. Hence, he whispered to Wu Mengting beside him, "Mengting, I’ll handle this guy; you seize the chance to run back to school. Don’t mind me."
"Chen Tianlong, I don’t want that, I want to stay with you." Wu Mengting saw the two approaching men, knowing the situation wasn’t easily solvable.
Hao Ren didn’t show any sign of weakness; his Yellow Dao level five power seemed forcibly stabilized, with a seemingly strong Powerful Qi Wave surging within his body.
