Chapter 4771 — Fiendish Temper Cannot Be Endured
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 3
"Gah?!" Ren Zhongyuan's mouth twitched as he watched Wei Zhao's performance. Judging purely by the aggrieved look on Wei Zhao's face at that moment, he might actually have believed he had flipped the man's table. What the hell was going on here?
The others were just as slow to catch on. Only Huo Yudie and Ning Xuefei were secretly laughing, because out of the corner of their eyes they had just spotted Liu Ziqi walking over.
"What is going on here? What sort of disgraceful racket is this?" Liu Ziqi demanded, her face full of authority.
In truth, given Liu Ziqi's strength, she could have grasped the situation perfectly without even being present. Now, watching Wei Zhao act with such a straight face, she nearly burst out laughing. But she also understood that Wei Zhao was creating an opportunity for her to teach Ren Zhongyuan and his lot a lesson. This bunch had grown more and more brazen, to the point that they no longer even respected her. It was time to give them a proper dressing-down.
"Vice Principal Liu, we were eating here perfectly peacefully when he came over and flipped our table—he did it deliberately to make trouble for us! I don't mind for my own part, but Feifei is the Western Island's princess. This concerns the honor of the Western Island, and it cannot just be let go!" Wei Zhao gave the other side no chance to speak at all, immediately seizing the opportunity to climb the pole and lodge his complaint.
"Is that so?" Liu Ziqi's brows knit at once, and an icy pressure descended over Ren Zhongyuan and the others. Her tone was forbidding. "Ren Zhongyuan, even if this ship was temporarily borrowed for you through your father's connections, it now carries the Eastern Continent's envoy delegation; it represents every Yellow-Rank academy in the Eastern Continent, not something belonging to your family alone. I hope you had best understand this clearly!"
"I..." Ren Zhongyuan's mouth twitched, and he was about to retort, but the other party gave him no chance to speak at all—his sentence was cut off before he had uttered a single word.
"Hmph. I have seen bold people, but this is the first time I have seen boldness carried to such stupidity. You dared to flip Feifei's table—what is the meaning of this? Are you trying to use this as an excuse to sow discord between the Eastern Continent and the Western Island's friendly relations, or are you speaking for your Ren family, preparing to declare war on the Western Island?" Liu Ziqi said coldly, looking at him.
Glancing at Wei Zhao, who was still standing nearby feigning grievance, Ren Zhongyuan went white with fury. His fists clenched with a cracking sound, and he wished he could tear this bastard to pieces on the spot. Yet in the face of Liu Ziqi's tirade, he could not utter a single word—he did not even dare to talk back.
He could not bear the great hat of destroying the relations between the Eastern and Western Islands, and as for declaring war on the Western Island on behalf of the Ren family, that was even more absurd. Even if the Ren family truly had some capital, compared with a colossus like the Western Island, it was no more than an ant beside an elephant's foot. The two were not remotely on the same order of magnitude.
"Still not going back to reflect on your mistakes? Do you really want to blow this up beyond all repair?" Liu Ziqi gave a cold snort and warned, "Remember, this is the last time. If there is a next time, there will be no need to trouble the Western Island—I will be the first to deal with you!"
After all, she was a giant of the Eastern Continent Academy. Before her imposing aura, a fine hand like Ren Zhongyuan, a cultivator at the great perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, had no choice but to submit; swallowing his fury, he could only slink away with his people.
