The Su sisters clearly also disliked the looks from those three people, but it wasn't appropriate for them to turn against them on the spot, so they had no choice but to hide behind Wang Yue.

Unfortunately, Wang Yue wasn't tall enough to completely shield them from those stares.

At that moment, a few young people nearby began to whisper among themselves.

One of them said, "Have you heard? A few days ago, Young Master Wang went out to sea on business and encountered a powerful aquatic creature; he was terrified."

Another added, "Yeah, that's right. It seems he's too scared to sleep alone now and sleeps with his mother every night."

…

Although they claimed to be whispering, their voices weren't very low, and Wang Yue could definitely hear them. It was obvious that they were doing so on purpose. Moreover, those young people were all from the faction supporting the Zhang family, and their intention to provoke Wang Yue was clear.

Wang Yue couldn't help but frown inwardly. Claiming to be weak in front of an enemy was just an excuse he had given to his aunt; he had never actually thought that way.

Yet, his words came true, and he was indeed looked down upon because of that lie.

The three major families didn't spread word of this incident.

If outsiders found out, it would surely be because of the maids from those families. It wasn't necessarily that there were traitors among them; the most likely reason was simply that they weren't careful enough with what they said.

After all, these maids were responsible for daily errands and often interacted with people outside the family. When women talk about gossip, anything can possibly be mentioned, and thus some secrets might be inadvertently revealed in this way.

This incident served as a reminder to Wang Yue that he needed to manage his maids more carefully. At the very least, he had to make sure they understood that they couldn't talk about everything.

After all, Wang Yue's goal was to bring all the beautiful women from the three major families into his bed, to be alone with them as if they were part of his family.

If this situation continued, the maids might start to notice certain things. And if one of them were to blurt something out carelessly, that could cause quite a problem.

As for those young people, Wang Yue didn't intend to pay them any attention. After all, it was true that he had been sleeping with his mother these past two nights; they could say whatever they wanted.

However, just because Wang Yue didn't want to deal with them, they became even more outrageous in their remarks.

"Do you think Wang Yue did it on purpose?" a short young man with freckles around his nose suddenly asked.

The others laughed and said, "On purpose? To do something so shameful just to make us laugh?"

"Don't forget, he's known as the most beautiful man in all history," the freckled young man said in a lecherous manner. "If it were me, I couldn't stand it."

"You little rascal, are you thinking about your own mother?" the others asked in shock.

The freckled young man had accidentally let slip what he was thinking and felt embarrassed, but he quickly defended himself, saying, "What's wrong with that? Many men have an Oedipus complex. Besides, I was just thinking about it; I wouldn't actually do anything."

With that, he let out a lecherous smile and added, "But if my mother were the most beautiful woman in all history, I can't guarantee that I could resist. Maybe Wang Yue feels the same way."

Although what that short guy said was true, it involved her mother's reputation, and Wang Yue couldn't let him talk nonsense.

Moreover, looking at that guy's lecherous expression, who knew what kind of inappropriate thoughts he was having in his head? That made Wang Yue even more disgusted.

So, while that guy was talking excitedly, Wang Yue let out a cold snort, flashed over to the group of people, and slapped that short guy across the face.

The short guy let out a scream, spun around, and was thrown flying. He landed hard on the ground. When he tried to get up, his mouth was collapsed like an old woman's, making his already ugly face look even worse—Wang Yue's slap had knocked all his teeth out.

Yet Wang Yue still felt unsatisfied. As soon as the short guy managed to get up, Wang Yue flashed over again and stepped on his right knee. With a loud "crack," the man's right leg became a sharp angle pointing forward.

"Ah—" The short guy clutched his broken right leg and lay on the ground, wailing in pain.

The other young men finally realized what was happening. One of them, with a fierce but weak appearance, shouted, "Wang Yue, why are you hitting people?"

"If you talk nonsense, you'll get hit," Wang Yue replied calmly. He took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his right hand, which had just struck the short guy's face, before saying, "Didn't Zhang Qingtian tell you?"

There were rumors that although Wang Yue was a talented cultivator, he was still too young, and his current level of cultivation was probably around the fifth layer of the Qi Refining realm.

These young men were all in their early twenties, and most of them were no weaker in cultivation than Wang Yue; some were even stronger. Moreover, they had been provoked by Zhang Qingtian, who was backed by three powerful figures from Tianhai.

Even so, they didn't dare to act recklessly. After all, the reputations of the three major families of Jinling were well-known, so they could only shout at Wang Yue, saying, "Wang Yue, if you dare to cause trouble here, do you not respect Master Zhang and the others?"

"Who does Zhang Qingtian think he is? My cousin doesn't respect him at all," Su Jiaojiao said deliberately. Of course, she knew that when these young men referred to "Master Zhang," they were actually talking about Zhang Lingfeng.

Although she was impulsive, she didn't want her cousin to confront the people from Tianhai right away, so she said those words to confuse things.

Those men were not willing to give up and wanted to say something else, but then a cold, sharp voice suddenly rang out, "What are you doing? If you want to cause trouble, go home and do it. This is a public place!"

Everyone turned around and saw a tall, beautiful girl in a neat police uniform walking towards them.

In that era, there were also police officers, most of whom were former military personnel who had been discharged or retired.

There was also a small number of martial artists who were responsible for maintaining order in the cities.

Although the former military personnel were not as strong as the martial artists, they were more than enough to deal with ordinary people.

They could also form small combat units, and even weaker martial artists could cope with them.

Since it was an official organization, the police offered good benefits, and there were many skilled martial artists among its members.

Although they weren't as powerful as organizations like the Adventurers Association, they still held considerable authority over both ordinary people and martial artists.

Since the Zhang family was holding such a large event today, the police naturally had to send people to maintain order.

And this beautiful, heroic police officer was one of those sent by the police today, and she was even in charge of the operation.

Xin Xiaoxiao felt somewhat frustrated. She was an orphan and had been adopted by her master since childhood.

Her master was a legendary figure in the Jinling police force, so when she grew up, she naturally joined the police and became a law-enforcing officer dedicated to upholding justice.

With a natural sense of justice and a hatred for evil, she loved her job, but she didn't enjoy working today.

In fact, she was well aware that the task assigned to her by her superiors was merely an opportunity for her to build her resume and expand her network of contacts.

However, she felt no sympathy for those belonging to these martial arts factions, as a large portion of the instability in Jinling City stemmed from these groups. Yet, due to their powerful backing, the police often had no way to deal with them.

Especially those spoiled brats within these factions who were always getting into fights and causing trouble were a real headache.

But no matter how much she disliked them, since her superiors had given her this task, she had to carry it out.

Walking up to Wang Yue and the others, Xin Xiaoxiao first showed them her identification card and then said, "I'm Police Officer Xin Xiaoxiao, responsible for maintaining order in this area. If you have any grievances, you can resolve them through peaceful negotiation or by using your martial arts skills. But if you dare to cause trouble here, no matter what your background is, I will arrest you!"

Xin Xiaoxiao…?

Wang Yue couldn't help but look at the size of her chest and thought that her name was quite misleading.

She was barely in her twenties, yet her bust was already on a par with that of a mature woman like Xu Yanran. She wasn't "Xin Xiaoxiao" at all; rather, she should be called "Big Chest Xiaoxiao"!

Of course, these were just Wang Yue's playful thoughts. In reality, he had heard a lot about Xin Xiaoxiao; like his two cousins and Chu Mo, she was one of the "Twelve Beauties of Jinling."

The person who had confronted Wang Yue earlier wasn't some naive fool but was actually quite clever.

Faced with Xin Xiaoxiao, he immediately put on a pitiful expression and said, "Officer Xin, it's not that we want to cause trouble; our friend was beaten by someone."

Xin Xiaoxiao immediately turned her attention towards Wang Yue.

Xin Xiaoxiao was quite tall, about the same height as Wang Yue's mother, Su Mengyan, at 175 centimeters.

Thanks to her rigorous training, she stood very straight, and together with her neat police uniform, she looked both beautiful and imposing.

Standing in front of the 170-centimeter-tall Wang Yue, she exuded a sense of authority.
