Yang Chen’s move shocked everyone. The way the Song family members looked at Yang Chen had changed completely from the beginning. They wanted to befriend him but regretted underestimating him at first.
Jokingly, Yang Chen said he was from the Great Wilderness, but that was an understatement. How could such a demon-like person come from the Great Wilderness?
Yang Chen was too lazy to explain anything to these Song family members, he just stared into the distance. As his soul had sensed earlier, the Song family caravan’s masters, who were lured away by the bandits, returned shortly after.
Upon their return, the Song family’s masters just happened to encounter the panicked Bandit Third Leader and his men, capturing them on the spot.
“Hmph, behave yourselves!”
“Don’t move.”
This group of bandits was not the main force of the bandits. In addition to fighting with Yang Chen, they were slaughtered and left with nothing. They had no fighting intent and were easily subdued by Song Chang and his men without even fighting.
Song Chang did not catch up with the head of the house and the others. When he realized what had happened, he knew it was the plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain. But he was at a loss as to why these bandits were so desperate to escape.
Looking at the intact goods and treasures that should have been robbed, Song
Chang narrowed his eyes and glanced at the corpses on the ground, then asked, “What happened? What happened when we left just now?”
One lackey that had followed Song Jianjun hurriedly explained the ins and outs of the situation clearly.
In his words, the lackey praised Yang Chen to the skies and even cursed Song Jianjun, who had offended Yang Chen, making Song Jianjun sound utterly pathetic.
Of course, Song Jianjun’s performance just now was indeed disgraceful. Although the description might be a bit exaggerated, it was not very different from the actual situation.
“That’s right… Song Jianjun is so incompetent. He dared not move when he met the bandits and was immediately subdued. Those ten bodyguards lost their lives because of him. Hmph, so he’s the number one genius of the Song family?”
These lackeys saw how powerful Yang Chen was just now and had offended him before. They were afraid that if they didn’t act enough, Yang Chen would hold a grudge against them. They didn’t hesitate to slander Song Jianjun.
They knew that the only way to please Yang Chen now was to belittle Song Jianjun.
Song Jianjun stood aside, fuming with anger. He thought about how these lackeys used to speak kindly of him.
Now, in the blink of an eye, they were cursing him.
But could he refute it?
Wasn’t the fact just like that?
“That’s exactly what happened. Without Yang Chen, our caravan would have been in deep trouble.”
Song Chang was a shrewd man, knowing that the lackeys might have exaggerated a bit, but he didn’t take them seriously.
However, when he saw Yang Chen’s calm and composed demeanor, he hesitated for a moment and said, “I don’t know where this young friend is from. I heard about what just happened… ‘
Yang Chen didn’t want to explain too much. Now that his identity had been exposed, he naturally had ways to cover his tracks. He immediately took out the token that Jin Cheng had given him.
Jin Cheng had given him more than one token, and this one represented his status as a member of the City Lord’s Mansion.
Upon seeing the token, Song Chang’s face changed drastically.
“This is… ‘
“This is the token of Liaocheng City Lord’s Mansion!”
“He’s actually from Liaocheng City Lord’s Mansion!”
Yang Chen stood with his hands behind his back, “Now, Captain Song Chang should have no doubts, right?”
The Song family members suddenly realized.
No wonder Yang Chen was so powerful – he was actually from the City Lord’s Mansion.
“So Brother Yang is from the City Lord’s Mansion, no wonder he’s so powerful.
Compared to him, Song Jianjun is nothing.”
“Indeed, we were so blind back then.”
Song Chang’s analysis was not as simple as the Song family members. Yang
Chen wasn’t just from the City Lord’s Mansion. He had been to Liaocheng City Lord’s Mansion too, but the geniuses they fostered there were nothing like Yang Chen. At the age of 14 or 15, he had such martial arts cultivation.
It was a shocking talent at the Spirit Martial Realm Fourth Level.
Most importantly, the calm and composed demeanor Yang Chen had was difficult to comprehend.
A young man who had killed several bandits…
Song Chang felt Yang Chen’s identity might be even more complicated. However, he knew that further investigation would do him no good. He only glared at Song Jianjun and yelled, “Song Jianjun.”
Basically, everyone knew that Song Chang was going to teach Song Jianjun a harsh lesson.
Song Chang cupped his hands at Yang Chen and said, “Yang Chen, my friend, Song Jianjun offended you earlier. As an elder, I have been watching and will not let him off today. Song Jianjun, you bastard, kneel down and beg Yang Chen for mercy!”
Not to mention anything else, just the token of the City Lord’s Mansion that Yang Chen was holding could give the Song Family Chamber of Commerce a hard time.
Song Jianjun knew he had made a mistake and was tearful, “I, I…”
Yang Chen didn’t have any intention of pressuring, he didn’t really want to pursue the matter of Song Jianjun because he didn’t consider him important.
He believed that the Song family would be able to discern who should and shouldn’t be nurtured in the future.
He then waved his hand, “Captain Song Chang, there’s no need for that.”
Only when Song Chang saw that Yang Chen didn’t intend to pressure him further did he breathe a sigh of relief, but he still gave Song Jianjun a cold glance and said, “Song Jianjun, come with me and see if I don’t teach you a lesson!”
When Song Chang left with Song Jianjun, Yang Chen knew it was for show, making him look good in front of others.
He knew Song Chang had good intentions, so he didn’t bother to delve deeper.
His current hidden identity would cause him no good if things got messy. Song
Chang was afraid of his identity, but in reality, his status at the City Lord’s Mansion was useless. If the Ming Emperor Sect found out, he would still be the one to run away.
However, Song Chang didn’t know any of this. He beat Song Jianjun until his howls filled the air, probably never forgetting today’s events for the rest of his life.
“Brother Yang, I didn’t expect you to be so powerful.” Song Chen’s eyes shone as he hurriedly ran towards Yang Chen.
Song Chen was just one of the people who came to greet him. Soon, more people came to greet Yang Chen, fearing Song Chen would get ahead of them all.
Unruffled, Yang Chen ignored those who tried to approach him and instead chatted with Song Chen, not even bothering to look at the others. This made those trying to get to know Yang Chen feel extremely awkward..
