As Jiang Yi was preparing to leave, a familiar figure descended the stairs.
It was Yuwen Sheng!
This came as a surprise to Jiang Yi, who hadn't expected Yuwen Sheng to be at the Rejuvenation Hall.
Judging by his demeanor, he wasn't there to purchase medicinal herbs.
“Jiang Yi, I didn’t expect you to actually dare to show up. You’re quite bold,” Yuwen Sheng said, looking at Jiang Yi with disdain.
“It’s merely the Rejuvenation Hall. What is there I wouldn’t dare to come for?” Jiang Yi retorted with a cold laugh.
“You truly are courting death!”
Yuwen Sheng glared fiercely at Jiang Yi.
“I will definitely avenge our last encounter. I will personally kill you and let you know who you shouldn’t offend.”
“And how will you do that?”
Jiang Yi couldn’t help but laugh.
Yuwen Sheng couldn’t even handle Huang Mao, yet he dared to cause trouble for him. Wasn’t this just seeking his own demise?
If Yuwen Sheng wished to die, Jiang Yi would oblige him.
“Do you know who I am? I am not only the eldest young master of the Yuwen family, but also the adopted son of Old Master Qing, the owner of the Rejuvenation Hall,” Yuwen Sheng declared proudly.
As Yuwen Sheng spoke, his face was filled with arrogance.
He was clearly making sure everyone knew he was Old Master Qing’s adopted son, deliberately raising his voice.
The people around them all turned to look at Yuwen Sheng.
It was evident that Yuwen Sheng’s words had the intended effect.
Jiang Yi couldn’t help but chuckle.
“What are you laughing at?” Yuwen Sheng asked angrily.
“Being someone’s adopted son isn’t necessarily something glorious, is it? Worth showing off like this? Do you know you’re shaming your ancestors?”
“You’ve abandoned your own ancestors, yet you’ve gone and recognized someone else as your father. Not only are you not ashamed, you’re proud of it,” Jiang Yi said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Yuwen Sheng’s face turned green with anger.
The surrounding people erupted into laughter.
Recognizing someone else as a father was indeed nothing to boast about.
“Jiang Yi, you won’t be leaving here alive today. I will personally kill you!”
After speaking, Yuwen Sheng grabbed a wine bottle from a table and swung it directly at Jiang Yi’s head.
In Yuwen Sheng’s mind, this was the Rejuvenation Hall.
Even if Jiang Yi had ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare to fight him here.
However, Yuwen Sheng was mistaken!
There was nothing Jiang Yi dared not do.
“Crack!”
Jiang Yi dodged the wine bottle and then slapped Yuwen Sheng across the face.
The slap landed with a crisp sound!
Yuwen Sheng’s face immediately began to swell.
“I’m giving you this slap on behalf of your father. You don’t even properly act as your father’s son, but instead, you go and recognize someone else as your father. You’ve even abandoned your ancestors!” Jiang Yi said with a slight smile.
“I’ll kill you…”
Yuwen Sheng trembled with rage and lunged at Jiang Yi again.
However, this time, before Jiang Yi could even act, Shadow kicked Yuwen Sheng away.
Yuwen Sheng’s body flew backward, landing four to five meters away.
He lay on the ground, unable to get up for a long time.
Shadow’s kick was exceptionally fierce.
Seeing that a fight had broken out, the onlookers quickly retreated, fearing they might get caught up in it.
Neither Jiang Yi nor Yuwen Sheng were people they dared to provoke.
“You’re a woman?”
Jiang Yi couldn’t help but look at Shadow.
His words stunned Shadow!
Shadow had short hair, wore men's clothing, and had a somewhat hoarse voice.
It was difficult for most people to tell.
However, it couldn't escape Jiang Yi's perception.
When Shadow made a move just now, Jiang Yi noticed a flaw.
Jiang Yi was certain that Shadow was a real woman.
“How did you figure that out? No one knows about this, not even the young lady!” Shadow asked Jiang Yi, staring at him.
“I could tell from your movements. Also, your voice is too fake. You’ve clearly used some kind of drug to make your voice hoarse, making it sound like a man’s,” Jiang Yi replied with a smile.
Shadow’s brow furrowed deeply.
“You cannot tell anyone about this, or I will not let you off,”
Shadow fixed Jiang Yi with a sharp gaze.
“Give me a reason to keep your secret! I might consider it,” Jiang Yi said with a slight smile.
“My family has served as bodyguards for generations, protecting the safety of the Dongfang family members. However, our family has a rule that no female can be a bodyguard for the Dongfang family.”
“The young lady has shown me great kindness, and I swore to protect her for life,” Shadow said with a solemn expression.
Jiang Yi remained silent.
He was merely curious and had asked, with no intention of exposing Shadow’s identity.
“If you dare to utter a single word of this, I will kill you!”
Shadow glared at Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi chuckled slightly.
This woman had a terrible temper, much like Dongfang Mei.
From the beginning until now, he hadn't mentioned telling anyone about her identity, yet she was starting to threaten him.
Jiang Yi detested being threatened the most.
However, considering Shadow had come to his aid this time, he decided not to dwell on it.
At this moment, Yuwen Sheng had already gotten up from the ground.
His gaze towards Jiang Yi and Shadow was filled with murderous intent.
He wished he could kill Jiang Yi with his own hands, but he lacked the ability.
Just then, a group of people walked down from upstairs.
Leading them was a gaunt old man holding a cane. His eyes were as sharp as swords, and his entire being exuded an oppressive aura.
Jiang Yi looked at the old man.
Without a doubt, this old man must be the boss of the Rejuvenation Hall. Just his presence suggested he was no ordinary person.
Seeing Old Master Qing arrive, Yuwen Sheng immediately felt emboldened.
Pointing at Jiang Yi, he fiercely addressed Old Master Qing, “Adoptive Father, you must seek justice for me! This kid beat me like this, and him hitting me is like hitting you, my Adoptive Father!”
“You are my adopted son, and I will naturally avenge you. However, it is not now,” Old Master Qing said coldly.
“Adoptive Father, this kid has already barged onto your turf. This is the best chance to kill him! We must kill him this time, or there won’t be another opportunity!” Yuwen Sheng continued.
“Shut up!”
Old Master Qing reprimanded him angrily.
Seeing Old Master Qing’s fury, Yuwen Sheng was scared into silence and quickly stepped aside.
“Jiang Yi, do you have the courage to come upstairs to talk with me?” Old Master Qing asked Jiang Yi with a cold smile.
“We can talk just as well here. Why bother with all the fuss!” Jiang Yi replied with a slight smile.
“Are you afraid?” Old Master Qing asked dismissively.
“I have never been afraid of anyone. If I were, I wouldn’t have personally come to the Rejuvenation Hall,” Jiang Yi raised an eyebrow.
“Very well, then we shall talk here!”
Old Master Qing sat down on a sofa in the hall, took a sip of tea, and then turned his gaze to Jiang Yi.
