Chapter 43: Settling a Grudge

  "I'm sorry, this wine is too strong! I...I..." Su Ying said in a low and flustered tone, no longer with the proud and confident demeanor of the usual Miss Su.

  "You're not giving me face, are you?" The sly-looking man's expression turned solemn.

  "No! It can't be... really can't!" Su Ying had never seen such a scene before, her small face turned red, and tears were already welling up in her eyes.

  "This gentleman, I'll keep you company with this cup of wine, how about it?" Su Yan hastily stood up and blocked in front of Su Ying.

  The scoundrel gave Su Yan a sidelong glance, sneering: "Delicate and tender, you look like a girl. Unfortunately, you're not really a girl, and I'm not interested in men either. Get out of my way, this cup of wine, I want her to drink with me!"

  "Su Yan gege, let's go." Su Ying finally reacted and pulled up Su Yan's hand.

  "It's too late to want to leave now!" The sly fellow sneered and growled, "Chen Gang, Liu Kun, keep an eye on this little brat for me!"

  The other two men sneered coldly and moved swiftly, grabbing Su Yan's arms before he could even react.

  "Let me go! What are you going to do?" Su Yan was shocked and angrily shouted, trying his best to break free from the restraints. Chen Gang and Liu Kun just sneered, their arms like iron clamps, how could Su Yan possibly break free?

  "Little girl, I won't make it difficult for you. Pick up the wine cup and finish the wine, then I'll let you go!" The lecherous man looked at Su Ying, his eyes gleaming with lust as he licked his lips, gazing at her like a predator eyeing its prey.

  Su Ying's eyes were filled with tears, and she stood there at a loss, not knowing what to do for the moment. The patrons in the bar saw this and burst into unscrupulous laughter.

  "Hahaha!"

  "Come on, little girl, drink!"

  "You have to drink! If you don't drink, I won't let you leave, haha!"

  "Drink up! It's just one cup of wine! Haha!"

  Lin Feng furrowed his brow and stood up.

  "Little Maple, sit down!" Fang Ba pressed Lin Feng back down, "These few young masters may have been eliminated from the Mystic Heavy Cavalry, they're not feeling good about it. Let them vent their frustrations, it's a good thing. After all, we're one big team, don't bother with such small matters!"

  "But——" Lin Feng said hastily.

  "Don't worry!" Fang Ba laughed, "Yun Zhiya may look a bit shifty, but he's also an old soldier and knows what he's doing. Besides, this is the Old Soldiers' Bar, and as a small captain, how dare he cause trouble? He's just trying to scare that little girl, don't worry, she won't come to much harm!"

  On the other side, the sly and cunning man, Fang Yun, saw Su Ying's confused expression and took advantage of it. He raised Su Ying's chin with his hand, his face almost touching hers. Lin Feng hastily said: "Uncle Fang, they are my friends!"

  "Is he your friend?" Fang Ba was taken aback, slapping his thigh and exclaiming, "You little scamp! Why didn't you say so earlier!"

  "I want to say, you don't give me a chance to speak either!" Lin Feng said with a bitter smile.

  "It's your friend, then you go and settle it, no need to wave our flag." Fang Ba laughed, "The rules of the Xuan Jia Heavy Riders, when you take the lead, you only represent yourself."

  "Go ahead, Xiao Feng! Don't be polite. Today I met you, and it's only fitting that Cloud Edge suffers a calamity." Scar-faced Tong Meng also laughed and said, "In the future when mixing in with the Xuan Jia Heavy Cavalry, when you should be ruthless, you must be ruthless; when you should be tough, you must be tough! Being wishy-washy and hesitant, no one will look up to you! You want Cloud Edge to become what kind of place, then make it that kind of place. Even if you beat it into a pig's head, no one will pay attention."

  "Go ahead! But still leave some room for maneuver!" Fang Ba said, "If you really lose, you won't have the chance to stay with the Xuanjia Heavy Riders. It's also a bit unfair to him. Actually, Yun Zhijian is quite a man, and he's not as despicable as he looks. You'll know later."

  Lin Feng nodded and walked over with big strides.

  "Let her go!" Looking at the despicable face of Yun Zhiya, Lin Feng felt a surge of disgust from the bottom of his heart and shouted angrily.

  "Lin Feng big brother, it's you!" Su Yan saw Lin Feng and a look of surprise appeared on his face, he repeatedly said, "Lin Feng big brother, quickly save Ying'er!"

  "Big Brother Lin Feng!" Su Ying looked up and saw that it was Lin Feng, her small mouth pouting as she let out a "wa" and burst into tears.

  "Hmm! The look of pear blossoms in the rain, I like it even more!" Yun Zhiya didn't turn around at all, and continued to look at Su Ying.

  Yun Zhiya unexpectedly didn't care about himself, Lin Feng hummed and threw a punch at Yun Zhiya!

  The two men who were holding Su Yan shouted in unison and let go of him, blocking Yun Zhiya's path.

  "Get out!" Lin Feng's face was gloomy, and he slapped the two of them with his palm. With a "slap" "slap", the two men, who were only at the fifth level of Tiger Fist, were knocked to the ground by Lin Feng, losing several teeth and spitting out blood from their mouths.

  Yun Zhiya turned around, and his intoxication also dissipated by about 70-80%. He stared at Lin Feng and asked: "Who are you? Why are you interfering with my business?"

  "Who do you think you are, go die!"

  Lin Feng's face turned cold, his right leg swung up like a guillotine, and flashed towards Yun Zhiya like lightning.

  Yun Zhiya let out a loud roar and swung his fists at Lin Feng, only to hear two crisp "cracks" as Yun Zhiya's arms simultaneously drooped down, with a thread of fresh blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.

  With the power of Tiger Fist Sixth Layer, defeating this Tiger Fist Fifth Layer guy is naturally an easy task. As for Fang Ba's words about holding back? After seeing Yun Zhiya's detestable face, Lin Feng had already thrown those words to the back of his mind.

  Of course, he also left some leeway. At least Yun Zhiya won't die, as for whether he can participate in tomorrow's test, Lin Feng cannot guarantee it.

  The knights in the bar knew who Lin Feng was, and now looking at Yun Zhongyan, they also had a sympathetic expression. Offending a guy who even dared to challenge Bai Fu Chao Zhao Meng, this Yun Zhongyan was indeed unlucky enough.

  Yun Zhiya's arms were broken, but he was extremely tough and didn't make a sound. He looked at Lin Feng coldly and said: "You little brat, we've got a score to settle now! Dare you tell me who you are? I, Yun, will remember you well."

  "Got it, Xiao Ye Lin Feng?" Lin Feng smiled coldly.

  "Lin Feng! Very well, very well!" Yun Zhongyan gazed deeply at Lin Feng, "Lin Feng, today's grudge, tomorrow I will repay tenfold!"

  "We'll wait." Lin Feng sneered.

  "Kid, you're done for!" A man who had been knocked to the ground by Lin Feng stood up and sneered at him, "You've offended Big Brother Yun, the whole squad won't let you off."

  "Chen Gang, what nonsense are you talking about! What does your private business have to do with the whole squad?" Fang Ba's voice rang out.

  "Lord Fang!" Chen Gang finally saw Fang Ba, and hastily bowed his head. Although Fang Ba had already retired, he still held a high position among the knights of the First Legion, after all, he was once the Centurion of the First Legion, second only to the Commander.

  "Master Fang!" Yun Zhiya also stiffly bowed to Fang Ba, then looked at Chen Gang and said: "Chen Gang, this is our own brother's business, why drag in a whole team? This grudge doesn't need others' help, we'll take care of it ourselves!"

  "Yes, big brother!" Chen Gang lowered his head, apparently having great faith in Yun Zhiya.

  "Lin Feng! Haha, it's Lin Feng indeed! Good kid, we'll meet again sometime!" Yun Zhiya took another glance at Lin Feng before leaving the Old Soldier Bar with Chen Gang and Liu Kun.

  "Lin Feng big brother!" Su Ying tearfully rushed over and tightly hugged Lin Feng, never wanting to let go again.

  "Oh~~" Inside the bar, a suspicious cheer rose, and the old soldiers' faces showed an "I see" expression.

  Fang Ba also laughed: "Haha! No wonder Xiao Feng was so nervous, it turns out this little girl is Xiao Feng's girlfriend! This girl, she doesn't look bad, just a bit underdeveloped, needs to grow up for another two years..."

  Tong Meng also laughed and said, "Fang Ge, looks like you've misjudged the situation! You shouldn't have stopped Xiao Feng earlier. In the future, if this girl really enters the Lin family, when Xiao Feng mentions today's events to her, will you still be able to drink a drop of water in the Lin family?"

  "Haha!" The other four retired veterans also burst out laughing.

  Lin Feng's face showed a hint of redness, and he awkwardly pushed Su Ying away. However, Su Ying still tightly held onto Lin Feng's hand, sobbing quietly and refusing to let go.

  "Lin Feng big brother, if it wasn't for you, I would have... Waaahhh!" Su Ying cried, her delicate little face covered in tears.

  "Lin Feng big brother, thank you so much today!" Su Yan also thanked gratefully.

  "It's nothing. We're all friends, how can I just stand by and do nothing?" Lin Feng curled his lips and waved his hand at Fang Ba and the others.

  Fang Ba smiled and waved his hand, indicating that he could leave now.

  "Let's go, this isn't a place for talking, we'll talk after we leave!" Lin Feng pulled Su Ying, who had tears all over her face, and quickly left the Old Soldier Bar.

  Outside the bar.

  "Alright, Suying, it's all over now!" Su Yan said reassuringly as he looked at Suying.

  "Waaah!" Su Ying was still crying, tightly grasping Lin Feng's hand and refusing to let go.

  "Su Yan, where do you live? I'll send you back." Lin Feng said helplessly.

  "No, I won't go back!" Su Ying cried out, "I want to be with Lin Feng big brother!"

  "Good sister! Aren't you making things difficult for Lin Feng?" Su Yan said with a bitter smile.

  "Lin Feng big brother, if you leave, what if those guys come back? I and Su Yan big brother can't beat them!" Su Ying said pitifully.

  "Don't worry, they won't bother you." Lin Feng said.

  Yun Zhiya was also a heavy cavalryman of the Xuanjia, although he looked somewhat shabby, but he would not be so unbearable in his actions. In this regard, Lin Feng still had confidence.

  "Lin Feng big brother, Ying'er also has a point." Su Yan heard Su Ying's words and became tense too, "The test is tomorrow, I and sister Ying can't make any mistakes. Lin Feng big brother, may I bother you for one night, how about it?"

  "Alright then!" Seeing the two of them looking so tense, Lin Feng also smiled wryly, "Then let's go to my place! It's a bit simple, don't mind it."

  "How could it be." Su Yan said in succession.
