"I'm Chen Xiao. Didn't you already know me?"

Chen Xiao raised his eyebrows and said calmly.

"I'm asking you, what's your background? I don't accept this!"

Yang Potian shouted, clutching his chest, blood spurting from his mouth like a fountain.

He truly didn't accept it. For over a decade, his greatest goal had been to defeat Xiao Zhan, the top-ranked fighter on the Heaven Ranking.

He spared no expense to curry favor with the Li family, serving those masters obsequiously, all to join the Imperial City Embroidered Uniform Guard, thereby taking a shortcut and gaining the power to defeat Xiao Zhan.

But he never expected that Chen Xiao, who had suddenly risen in Jiangbei, would be so strong.

In an instant, he felt that everything he had done was meaningless.

Because he realized that even if he could defeat Xiao Zhan one day, this Chen Xiao would be an even greater mountain for him to overcome.

Moreover, Chen Xiao was so much younger than him… He couldn't even imagine how much he would grow in the future.

Yang Potian's face was ashen. He stood up and walked towards the exit without saying a word.

"Yang Potian, where are you going?"

Master Luan, seeing him looking as if he had lost all hope in life, couldn't help but shout.

"I'm tired. I want to go home."

Yang Potian replied woodenly.

"Go home? Who will serve us if you go home?"

Master Luan frowned.

Yang Potian looked at him and suddenly grinned, his smile full of mockery.

Master Luan was furious when he saw this and suddenly lashed out, slapping Yang Potian.

No one would have thought that his body, as fat as an old sow, would give him an incredibly light and agile feeling when he jumped.

*Pa!*

Yang Potian didn't even have a chance to react before Master Luan slapped him on the forehead, instantly splattering his brains and killing him.

"You're just a dog. Who do you think we are? You think you can just stop serving us whenever you want?"

Master Luan snorted. Killing Yang Potian was no different from killing a dog to him.

Seeing that someone had been killed, the ordinary diners immediately screamed and ran out. Some martial artists with low strength, not wanting to get into trouble, also left one after another.

In a short while, the restaurant hall, which had been bustling with activity just moments before, had only a few people left.

"Boy, you have some skills, but you shouldn't have meddled in the affairs of our Imperial City Embroidered Uniform Guard!"

Master Luan's face was gloomy as he looked at Chen Xiao with a fake smile.

"There's no should or shouldn't. I interfered, so I interfered. What can you do to me?"

Chen Xiao said calmly, letting out a disdainful snort from his nostrils.

Master Luan was stunned for a moment. Then, not only was he not angry, but he even burst out laughing, his words revealing his appreciation for Chen Xiao.

"Hahahaha, boy, you're not bad. You're arrogant and have guts, much better than that insidious hypocrite, Yang Potian!"

"It seems that you're the person we're looking for. I now formally invite you to join our Imperial City Embroidered Uniform Guard. From now on, we're all brothers! Come on, my good brother!"

As he spoke, he went over to put his arm around Chen Xiao's shoulders, as if he really regarded Chen Xiao as a good brother.

"Someone like you is worthy of being my, Chen Xiao's, brother?"

Chen Xiao pushed him away casually, and Master Luan staggered back, taking four or five steps before steadying himself!

"Pleh pleh pleh pleh pleh, big pig head wants to be my big brother's brother, what wishful thinking!"

The little girl, fearing that the world wouldn't be in chaos, hid behind Chen Xiao and made faces at Fatty Luan!

"Damn it, you don't know what's good for you!"

Fatty Luan's hot face was met with Chen Xiao's cold backside, and he was immediately enraged. "You ungrateful bastard, I'll take your life today!"

Before he finished speaking, he swayed his fat body and charged towards Chen Xiao.

When he threw a punch, it looked ordinary, but the surrounding space was instantly filled with his boxing intent, as if the entire space had been frozen.

Chen Xiao's eyes sharpened. From this punch alone, he could tell that Fatty Luan's strength was far greater than Xiao Zhan's and Yang Potian's.

This fatty was clearly a martial artist, but he had reached the level of using martial arts to comprehend the Dao.

A strong fighting spirit ignited in Chen Xiao's eyes. He was just about to meet Fatty Luan's punch when a gray figure suddenly whistled over and struck Fatty Luan's fist with a palm.

*Pa!*

There was only a soft cracking sound, like an air explosion. Then, Fatty Luan staggered back a dozen steps before barely managing to steady himself.

The gray figure stood still, and Chen Xiao noticed that it was an old man in linen clothes.

The old man had a thin face and white hair, but his eyes were clear and bright, without any turbidity.

"Grandpa!"

The little girl shouted and hugged the old man.

The old man also stroked the little girl's head with a loving expression: "Xiao Hongchan, why are you running around again? Grandpa was so worried just now!"

"Grandpa, Xiao Hongchan didn't run around Xiao Hongchan was just standing up for justice, but that big bad guy was too strong, Xiao Hongchan couldn't beat him, luckily Big Brother helped me!"

The little girl pointed at Chen Xiao with a smiling face.

The old man cupped his fist at Chen Xiao with a smile and thanked him, "Thank you, young hero, for your help!"

Chen Xiao shook his head: "It's nothing, just a small matter."

"Old thing, who are you?"

At this moment, Fatty Luan shouted angrily, and the other Embroidered Uniform Guards also stood up, staring at the old man in linen clothes with wary expressions.

"I am, Ye Santong!"

The old man in linen clothes said calmly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the faces of the Embroidered Uniform Guards all showed shock.

Fatty Luan pointed at the old man in linen clothes and asked, "Are you Senior Ye Santong from Xiaoyao Valley?" (Xiaoyao Valley: carefree valley)

"I do live in Xiaoyao Valley."

Ye Santong said calmly.

"Senior Ye, please accept a bow from this junior!"

Fatty Luan's face showed respect as he bowed and introduced himself, "This junior is Luan Yunda of the Imperial City Embroidered Uniform Guard…"

"I was wondering why there was such a dog smell, so it's a few stinking dogs from the Imperial City Embroidered Uniform Guard!"

Before he could finish speaking, Ye Santong interrupted him directly.

Fatty Luan's face flushed red, but he seemed to be wary of the old man and didn't dare to retort.

Ye Santong was even more impatient. He waved his hand and said, "Go, go, go. I didn't bring my dog-beating stick today. I'm not in the mood to deal with you. Get out of here immediately!"

The Embroidered Uniform Guards were even more embarrassed when they heard this, their faces turning red and white, wishing they could find a crack in the ground to hide in.

But even so, they didn't dare to be disrespectful to Ye Santong. They cupped their fists at the old man and left the mutton restaurant in disgrace.

"Pleh pleh pleh… The big pig head is finally gone, pleh pleh pleh!"

Xiao Hongchan made faces at Fatty Luan until their figures completely disappeared from sight.

Just then, Gongsun Yi walked over with difficulty.

He had an expression of disbelief on his face as he stammered, "Master… Old man, is that you?"
