Chapter 1441: Chapter 1444: Zhou Yang Arrives

The number of people in the banquet hall was too numerous, and Luo Ming’s actions did not attract much attention. Only the guests nearby who had been secretly observing Cao Ying and Li Liping noticed these two beauties being approached. Out of curiosity and the desire to watch, they began to gather around.

However, coincidentally, due to Longfeng Martial Hall’s main personnel Zhu Xiuyue, Xie Nan, and others focusing security outside the martial hall, this inconspicuous corner of the banquet hall didn’t have much staff assigned to it… At this moment, no one in the crowd recognized that Cao Ying and Li Liping were companions of the future master of the Hong Sect!

Luo Ming’s tragedy occurred just like that…

Originally, hearing Cao Ying’s decisive tone, Luo Ming felt a bit apprehensive. He thought that after Cao Ying warned him, someone would immediately come out to protect her. After all, if Cao Ying was truly a woman of power, she would surely be able to call her escort immediately… Yet, after waiting for more than ten seconds, Luo Ming was unexpectedly amused when he found out that Cao Ying was merely bluffing, and no one was stepping forward for her?!

“Heh… You nearly got me fooled, you little girl…” Luo Ming believed he had seen through Cao Ying and Li Liping’s facade, feeling quite proud, with a smirk at the corner of his mouth, “Thinking you had some kind of background, daring to threaten me like this. Seems like you’re just putting on an act! I want to see where your people are; call them out, huh? Ladies, I’m not saying you shouldn’t keep your posture too high while doing business, lest you end up with nothing.”

Seeing Luo Ming dare to stick around, Cao Ying’s face turned cold. Upon hearing his strange words, she was nearly boiling with rage. She glanced back at the Loyalty Gang member whom Luo Ming had pushed away, speaking in a deep voice, “Little brother, is your body okay? Could you help me to call Lin Feng to come over from the venue?”

Upon hearing Cao Ying’s orders, Luo Ming’s ears couldn’t help but twitch. This woman wanted to call whom, Lin Feng? Did he hear it right?! Luo Ming widened his eyes, staring at Cao Ying in awe. Who on earth was this woman?

But Cao Ying didn’t even glance at him.

At this moment, the Loyalty Gang brother held much resentment towards Luo Ming. Although he wasn’t fully aware of the true relationship between Cao Ying, Li Liping, and Lin Feng, he knew they were personally instructed to be watched by “Sister Su Zi,” so naturally, he wouldn’t slack.

“Ladies, wait a moment, I’ll notify Brother Feng immediately!” The Loyalty Gang brother nodded to Cao Ying, pretending to leave right away.

“Hold on… Brother, don’t rush off just yet!” Luo Ming stretched his hand to stop the Loyalty Gang brother, showing a smile uglier than a cry, whispering, “This could be a misunderstanding… Do you ladies know Lin Feng’s leader?”

Luo Ming earnestly looked at Cao Ying and Li Liping, asking with a bitter smile.

“Hmph!” Cao Ying didn’t bother to acknowledge Luo Ming and didn’t utter a single word. Although she had concerns, she didn’t want the situation to escalate. Otherwise, with Lin Feng defending her, the scene would turn ugly…

Li Liping glanced at Luo Ming with extreme dislike, silent as well.

Luo Ming’s heart sank, realizing he might have deeply offended someone he shouldn’t have… What to do next? Luo Ming glanced at the Hong Sect brother he blocked, contemplating that he mustn’t let this Hong Sect brother spread any messages…

“Considering it’s a misunderstanding, I offer my sincere apologies to the honored ladies and the brother here. To show sincerity, I’m willing to provide the three of you a small compensation and hope you won’t harbor any resentment, forgetting this unpleasant incident…” Luo Ming held onto his awkwardness, feigning calmness as he said, “We all are people of standing, and I hope the honored ladies won’t take offense…”

At this point, did you still think you were a person of standing? Cao Ying shot a disgusted glance at Luo Ming and cursed inwardly, “What kind of standing do you have, being just a minor thug?”

However, although Cao Ying was utterly disgusted by Luo Ming internally, she refrained from speaking her mind outwardly…

Yet, someone spoke for her!

“What kind of tall onion do you think you are? Dare to act wildly in my place? Did you take too many meds? Kid, do you not realize this is Longfeng Martial Hall’s turf?”

An extremely insolent voice came from behind Luo Ming, filled with disdain and discontent, which made it clear that the speaker was an extremely unreasonable person…

Upon hearing this voice, Luo Ming felt waves of murderous intent coming from behind him. He turned around to see a fat and a thin man glaring at him with hostile intent. The speaker was the taller man, with scattered hair falling over his forehead, exuding a rebellious air with a slightly wicked smile.

“Who are you? Are you talking to me?” Upon realizing the newcomers weren’t Lin Feng, Luo Ming’s tense feeling somewhat eased. Although he didn’t know how these men knew of the incident here, he believed he could communicate well with them.

“Brother Zhou, Brother Fat… This kid tried to chat with the ladies. After being rejected, he wanted to get physical… I tried to stop him but got hurt…” The Loyalty Gang brother restrained by Luo Ming saw the men arrive as if seeing saviors, excitedly complaining to them.

Indeed, the two who arrived on the scene were Zhou Yang and Xiang Wang, previously bored in the monitoring room… Tasked with overseeing the venue, they initially thought nothing would happen. Yet, since Lin Feng entered with Cao Ying and Li Liping, they amused themselves by monitoring Lin Feng and the two ladies. Upon seeing Su Zi and Xue Qingyi appear one after another and even witnessing Lin Feng sneak away, they laughed heartily in the monitoring room, oblivious to their own haplessness…

However, upon discovering Su Zi left Cao Ying and Li Liping in the hall, Zhou Yang and Xiang Wang realized something was wrong with Su Zi’s arrangement, immediately intensifying their monitoring of the two ladies. As a result, they quickly spotted Luo Ming making unwanted advances on Cao Ying and Li Liping and injuring the brother assigned to them by Su Zi. Zhou Yang and Xiang Wang were infuriated, deciding to come and deal with Luo Ming together!

“Damn it, still playing dumb in front of me…” Zhou Yang lazily glanced at Luo Ming, sneering, “I fucking hate those who can’t admit what they’ve done, acting like a fool!”

Hearing Zhou Yang’s blunt words, Luo Ming’s expression changed as he stared at him, questioning, “Are you speaking to me? Do you know who I am? You’re a Hong Sect brother too, but do you realize that insulting a senior breaches sect rules?!”

In Luo Ming’s mind, although he approached Cao Ying and Li Liping, he hadn’t done anything per se. Thus, under the current situation, he didn’t consider himself in the wrong. Zhou Yang’s offensive language violated the harmonious conduct expected among Hong Sect brothers.
