The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 348: Pride Must Be Backed By Ability
Chapter 348: Chapter 348: Pride Must Be Backed By Ability
"Ye Dongjian, Wu Kunming, do you two even have the face to come here?" A military officer in his thirties, with a broad back and a robust build, strode up to the two of them, then pointed at Ye Dongjian and continued, "Especially you, how dare you lay a finger on Ning Yuting’s sister? Don’t think you’re something just because you’re from the Yes. You’ve only just been transferred back to the Capital Military Region. Even if you were once a dragon, you must lie down for me, and if you were a tiger, you must stay crouched. This isn’t a place where you can jump around."
This stout officer was named Cai Qiang. Standing next to Cai Qiang were three other officers, each wearing a sneering smile. These three officers were named Cao Hua, Zhu Tao, and Wen Chi.
The status of these four in the military was not worse than that of Ye Dongjian and Wu Kunming, which is why they dared to ridicule Ye Dongjian and Wu Kunming so brazenly to their faces. In their hearts, Ning Yuting was an untouchable goddess, and Ye Dongjian, who was pursuing Ning Yuting’s sister Ning Minyan, had angered Ning Yuting. Naturally, these supporters of Ning Yuting would not grant any kindness towards Ye Dongjian.
Being so openly mocked and pointed at, how could Ye Dongjian stand for it? Rage surged within him, and with a sneer, he retorted, "Cai Qiang, you son of a turtle, get out of my way. You’re just infatuated with Ning Yuting! Do you have to make it so obvious? It’s a pity she won’t even spare you a glance. What the hell are you celebrating for?"
"Ye Dongjian, you can eat whatever you want, but you can’t just say whatever you want. Have you not been embarrassed enough yesterday? If that’s the case, I wouldn’t mind teaching you a lesson." Cai Qiang was similarly prone to outbursts of temper.
"Ye Dongjian, go back to wherever you came from. You’re not welcome here," Cao Hua said disdainfully.
"Wu Kunming, hurry up and take him away. Otherwise, if Ning Yuting gets angry later, it won’t just be her taking action against you two today. We won’t show any mercy either," Zhu Tao said, with a smile still on his face.
"Look at you, do you really think you can be Ning Minyan’s boyfriend? Don’t embarrass yourself here," Wen Chi also mocked.
"Cai Qiang, don’t you four push too far. We’re here to see Ning Yuting, and it’s none of your business," Wu Kunming’s anger was truly ignited by these four.
"Looking for Ning Yuting? Do you two really think you haven’t been taught enough of a lesson yesterday? We don’t need to trouble Ning Yuting with this matter; the four of us can take care of it on her behalf," Cai Qiang said, twisting his arm.
"Dammit, Cai Qiang, do you really think I, Wu Kunming, am afraid of you? Your pathetic skills wouldn’t even be enough to get stuck between my teeth!" Known as ’not losing face even when losing a fight,’ Wu Kunming knew that Cai Qiang’s abilities were no less than his, yet he intended to outdo his opponent in terms of momentum.
Furthermore, today Ye Chenfeng had come with them, and with Ye Chenfeng’s skills, dealing with these four self-righteous fools would be as simple as nodding. With Ye Chenfeng backing him up, Wu Kunming was full of confidence. He stood up straight, his face full of pride that didn’t belong to him.
"Wu Kunming, did your head get caught in a door today? My skills are that of a ’three-legged cat’? Who was it that lost to me in the past? You’re nothing but my defeated subordinate," Cai Qiang sneered with disdain.
"All right, Wu Kunming, Ye Dongjian, stop disgracing yourselves here. And Ye Dongjian, stay away from Ning Yuting’s sister from now on, or don’t blame us for not being courteous," Cao Hua didn’t take Ye Dongjian and Wu Kunming seriously at all, knowing that their side had four men while Ye Dongjian and Wu Kunming only had two. Ye Chen, who was standing beside the duo, was completely ignored.
"Good dogs don’t block the path; you four get out of our way. We’re here today to seek justice from that woman, Ning Yuting," Ye Dongjian was not interested in dragging out the conversation further.
"Oh wow, did I hear that correctly?" Cai Qiang deliberately cleared his ears and said, "You two are here to seek justice from Ning Yuting? Your panda eyes haven’t even faded yet! Do you want Ning Yuting to touch up your makeup again?"
"What are you all shouting about? Don’t disturb the training soldiers," said Ning Yuting, dressed in military uniform, as she walked towards Ye Dongjian’s group. Her gaze finally rested on Ye Dongjian, asking, "Are you still not convinced? With your abilities, you’re simply not qualified to be my sister’s boyfriend. You’d better give up that thought!"
"Whether I’m qualified is not for you to decide. If today you can beat my nephew, I promise I won’t pester your sister ever again. But if you lose to him, then don’t try to stop me from dating your sister," Ye Dongjian spoke with fervor and conviction. He was completely confident in his nephew, Ye Chen’s abilities.
Ye Chen took two steps forward and said in an even tone, "I am Ye Dongjian’s nephew, Ye Chenfeng."
Ye Chenfeng, who had gone unnoticed until now, suddenly became the center of attention, with Cai Qiang and the others, including Ning Yuting, focusing their gaze on Ye Chenfeng, as if trying to discern something from him.
After ten seconds.
"Hahaha—" Cai Qiang was the first to burst into laughter and said, "Ye Dongjian, who in Capital City doesn’t know your nephew Ye Chenfeng is an idiot? What’s this about letting an idiot step forward? Are you insulting our intelligence?"
"Ye Dongjian, this isn’t the kind of joke you should be making. Your nephew’s already an idiot; what if he gets hurt and his condition worsens? Better take your nephew and go home fast!" Cao Hua waved his hand as he spoke.
"Ye Dongjian, has your brain burnt out? Letting your idiot nephew stand up for you? It seems you’re on your way to becoming an idiot, too," Zhu Tao scoffed brazenly.
"Don’t stand here and be an eyesore; it’s not too late to leave now." Wen Chi chimed in right after.
"Am I an idiot? You’ll find out soon enough, but in my eyes, you four are the real idiots," Ye Chenfeng remained where he was, casually shrugged his shoulders, and blandly uttered these words.
A fine "real idiots" indeed!
This stunned Cai Qiang and the other three for a moment, before their hearts immediately surged with unquenchable anger. Could there be anything more ridiculous in this world than being called an idiot by an idiot? The four of them were itching to rush up and slap Ye Chenfeng’s face right then and there.
"Ye Idiot, you wanted to spar with Ning Yuting, Instructor Ning, right? Instructor Ning is the strongest in our military region; what qualifies you to spar with her? Unless you defeat me first, otherwise you and your pathetic excuse for an uncle better vanish from my sight immediately," every word from Cai Qiang was filled with rage.
Ning Yuting stood aside without speaking, which was as good as endorsing Cai Qiang’s proposal.
Ye Chenfeng cracked his neck and said, "All four of you, come at me together; otherwise, relying on just you alone, you won’t even be able to touch the hem of my garment. I’m saying this to save you some face." freewёbnoνel.com
Arrogant! Utterly arrogant! Was there anything more arrogant than this statement?
However, our comrade Ye Chenfeng had the capital to be proud. In front of Cai Qiang and the others, he definitely had every right to be arrogant.
Cai Qiang was known as a top-notch fighter in the military; aside from Ning Yuting, Ye Dongjian, Wu Kunming, Cao Hua, and a few other officers, nobody could last more than ten rounds against him. And now, to be so openly scorned by an idiot, his rage was burning fiercer and fiercer.
"You’d better listen to my nephew here; you’re not even fit to be stuck between his teeth!" Ye Dongjian leaned on his impressive nephew and thoroughly played the proud fool this time.
"Cai Qiang, Dongjian is absolutely right, you’re indeed no match for Chenfeng," Wu Kunming immediately agreed, chuckling merrily.
"I really want to see for myself how strong the man deemed ’Ye Idiot’ by everyone in Capital City is. Ye Dongjian, Wu Kunming, I wonder how long you two will keep smiling?" Cai Qiang rolled up his sleeves and, without another word, launched an attack on Ye Chenfeng. In his eyes, Ye Chenfeng, with his thin limbs, would surely not withstand even one of his moves.
The sparring did indeed end in one move.
However, it was Ye Chenfeng who kicked Cai Qiang into the air. Cai Qiang’s burly body slammed heavily against a large tree behind him, causing a "thump" that resounded dully.
Ye Chenfeng, thoroughly playing the part of the boastful, tucked his hands in his pockets, curled his lip, and said, "I already told you to come at me all together. But even if the four of you ganged up on me, getting rid of you would take mere seconds." (To be continued.
