My movements were incredibly fast, so fast that many people didn't even see them clearly.
The bald thug was sent flying to the ground with a single punch from me.
"Big brother!"
"Big brother, are you okay!"
The bald thug's subordinates rushed forward, checking on him.
Clutching his nose, the bald thug was filled with rage.
"Damn it, what are you all standing around for? Take him down!"
As soon as he spoke, eight or nine young men, brandishing extendable batons and cleavers, charged at me.
Watching them advance, I vibrated my body, circulating the Six Paths True Qi.
My cultivation instantly unleashed.
My speed surged.
These street thugs, constantly indulging in wine and women, had long exhausted their bodies. They usually relied on numbers to bully the honest folk.
Today, they had run into me, and it was like kicking a steel plate.
Seeing them rush at me, I struck them one by one with my fists.
Only the sounds of "Ahhhh!" and screams echoed.
In an instant, they were all sent sprawling, all eight or nine of them lying on the ground.
They clutched their stomachs, writhing and unable to stand.
Meanwhile, I hadn't even broken a sweat.
The bald thug stared, dumbfounded.
The monkey with the broken arm was even more wide-eyed, unable to believe it.
They had seen strong fighters before, but never anyone as formidable as me.
At this moment, I approached the bald thug and the monkey.
The monkey, terrified, kept swallowing, holding his extendable baton towards me.
"Don't, don't come any closer!"
I ignored him and slapped him across the face.
With a "crack," the young man was sent sprawling to the ground.
Then, approaching the bald thug, I kicked him in the stomach again.
The pain was so intense that he vomited out the beer he had drunk earlier.
He wailed and knelt on the ground.
"Now, do you still want me to lie down when I leave?"
The bald thug panicked, shaking his head and begging for mercy.
"No, no, no, we have no eyes to recognize Mount Tai.
Brother.
We were wrong, we were wrong..."
"My being wrong is useless. Apologize to my friend."
"Miss, I was wrong, so wrong, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
The bald thug stammered repeatedly.
Although Chu Yue came from a wealthy family with a powerful background, she was low-key and didn't want trouble.
Seeing that I had dealt with these people, she spoke to me.
"You all can go now!"
"Did you hear that? Scram!" I said fiercely.
Hearing this, the bald thug and the others didn't dare to linger.
Scrambling and crawling, they turned and fled.
They even abandoned the cleavers that had fallen to the ground...
Seeing them leave, I turned to Chu Yue apologetically.
"I'm sorry, Chu Yue, for your birthday.
I've brought these unwelcome guests upon you."
As soon as I finished speaking, Li Shiyao interjected.
"It should be me apologizing.
If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have injured that little thug.
And if you hadn't injured him, he wouldn't have called so many people to cause trouble."
Li Shiyao said with deep regret.
After the recent events, although everyone didn't know the specifics, they could vaguely piece together what had happened.
Chu Yue smiled.
"Alright, let's not dwell on it. Shall we go sing? Let's forget these unpleasant things."
But who was in the mood to sing now?
The person they had offended was the most notorious gangster in the area, Bald Bear.
Several guests claimed they had urgent matters at home and left in a hurry.
In the end, only four or five people remained.
Gou Jie and Xia Ba, although terrified by the ghosts, genuinely liked Chu Yue.
Seeing that Chu Yue chose to stay and sing, they exchanged glances and decided to stay as well.
However, Xia Ba made an excuse to go out.
In reality, he went to buy new pants, as he had wet himself...
Next, we went to the private room on the fifteenth floor.
I didn't have much musical talent, so I just listened to them sing.
But I had to admit, Li Shiyao was an excellent singer, which explained her pursuit of an acting career.
She was not only a great singer but also a skilled dancer, earning applause from everyone.
During this time, Gou Jie tentatively asked me a question.
He asked about my relationship with Chu Yue.
I simply said we were elementary school classmates, just ordinary friends.
Once Gou Jie was sure that my relationship with Chu Yue was indeed just that of ordinary friends, his previous hostility towards me instantly vanished.
He even kept toasting me with his wine glass.
He admired my genuine capabilities...
When Xia Ba returned after buying his pants, he came to the private room.
After I informed him that Chu Yue and I were just ordinary elementary school classmates, his sense of rivalry melted away completely.
Not only did he cease to oppose me, but the incident where I summoned ghosts to scare them was also completely forgotten.
He kept calling me "Brother Qin" and praising my abilities, making me feel quite embarrassed.
Damn it, was this the power of love?
I smiled wryly and shook my head, not taking it to heart.
After all, I bore no animosity towards either of them...
We continued to party until half-past midnight before leaving.
Except for Li Shiyao and me, everyone else had driven there.
They hired designated drivers, and we saw them off to their cars.
Watching them leave the parking garage, Li Shiyao and I finally departed.
Once we reached the street, we both called for rideshare taxis.
The street was still ablaze with neon lights, bustling with people.
To break the awkwardness of waiting, I said to Li Shiyao.
"Your singing was very good."
"Thank you, you were very impressive too.
Being able to summon ghosts and fight so many people by yourself."
I smiled.
Li Shiyao then added.
"Oh, right, let me add you on WeChat.
The movie I recently filmed has been released.
I'll send you free movie tickets."
"Sure!"
Smiling, I took out my phone and let Li Shiyao scan my QR code.
As soon as I added her as a friend, her taxi arrived.
Waving goodbye and saying "See you," Li Shiyao left.
My taxi was still a few minutes away, so I stood at the intersection to wait, planning to have another cigarette.
However, as I lit my cigarette, a large black moth suddenly fluttered in front of me...
