As elite talents from a special department, being treated this way, the six of them were clearly disgruntled.

Even though they recognized that the fight in the courtyard might be stronger than them, they still believed that they and their peers shouldn't receive such treatment.

"This must be Miss Ye, we are sent by Elder Xu, all of us are Heavenly Peak Grandmasters." Hu Lai walked two steps toward Ye Jingyi and started with a light laugh.

Sun Han and the others all lifted their heads and puffed out their chests, waiting for Ye Jingyi and others to look at them with admiration, but, they found that nobody was even glancing at them.

"Miss Ye." Hu Lai frowned as he looked at Ye Jingyi.

Ye Jingyi glanced at Hu Lai with a bit of discontent, took a deep breath, and spoke softly, "Please take a seat. We've just been attacked, and a friend was injured. We're not in the mood to entertain you all, please understand."

"Oh? Someone was injured?" Li Jiang spoke with pride, "That's because we weren't here. If we had been present, even if faced with a Semi Innate Grand Master, we would be able to take him down."

"What if there were two Semi Innate Grand Masters and two Innate Grandmasters?" Yan Hu scoffed. Everyone was already in a bad mood, and these guys came in acting like they were bestowing charity, setting everyone ablaze with anger.

"You, what are you saying? Two Innate Grandmasters and two Semi Innate Grand Masters? Wouldn't that have leveled this place to the ground? Are there dead people here? No wonder you're in a bad mood, it would be strange if there weren't any dead!" Li Jiang exclaimed with surprise.

"Li Jiang, don't talk nonsense!" Xia Yu's and Lin Feng's faces changed dramatically as they shouted in unison.

But it was too late!

Weng weng weng weng!

Right after Li Jiang's words fell, four immense auras soared into the sky and pressed down directly upon the six of them.

Thump! Thump!

Li Jiang and Hu Lai, who bore the brunt of the force, instantly fell to their knees, while the other four struggled to support themselves, waves of shock flooding their hearts.

This... two Innate Grandmasters, two Semi Innate Grand Masters... what's going on?

Their faces all turned incredibly pale as they looked at Yan Hu, Xing Fei, Su Mei, and Chen Feng with eyes filled with shock and disbelief!

Xia Yu and the other's faces changed, and they stood up to look at Ye Jingyi, about to speak up in an attempt to plead.

Crack!

The door to the guest room opened, Jiang Chen and Medicine Saint walked out.

"How is it?" The crowd, no longer caring about Chen Qiang and the others, all turned to look at Jiang Chen and Medicine Saint.

Jiang Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a light smile, "All good, he's been saved. A few days of rest, and there shouldn't be any problems!"

"That's wonderful!" Ye Jingyi exclaimed with joy.

Medicine Saint spoke with a face full of emotion, "Meridians completely severed, Dantian shattered, to have this youngster save him from such injuries, I'm starting to think this youngster isn't human!"

"What?!" Everyone was startled, especially the martial artists, who looked incredulously at Jiang Chen.

Meridians completely severed, Dantian shattered, these were injuries that were as good as death, yet... he was saved?

This, this can be saved?!

"Mr. Jiang, how is Leng Ye doing right now? Can we go see her?" Su Mei and her companion asked urgently.

Jiang Chen glanced at them and nodded slightly, "Go ahead, but do not disturb her."

"Yes."

With Jiang Chen's approval, Su Mei and Chen Feng nodded and hurriedly entered the guest room.

"What's going on here?" Jiang Chen glanced at Chen Qiang and the other five pale-faced people, especially the two who had just climbed up from the ground, and asked softly.

"Mr. Jiang, we apologize, they are with us, and we were all sent by Elder Xu," Xia Yu hurriedly explained.

"Elder Xu?" Jiang Chen was startled for a moment, then scanned them with a peculiar look and said, "Elder Xu said he sent people to protect Jing Yi, and it was you he sent?"

Realizing something was off in Jiang Chen's gaze, Xia Yu's face turned red with shame, and she lowered her head.

How could she not understand the oddness in Jiang Chen's eyes? The bodyguards by his side were all Semi Innate and Innate Grand Masters, and they had come in response to his generosity, only to bring a bunch of Heavenly Level Martial Artists. This made Xia Yu feel utterly embarrassed.

Shaking his head helplessly, Jiang Chen said to Xia Yu softly, "Thank you for your assistance, but... after the two of you have recovered from your injuries, please... return back."

Xia Yu and her companion were stunned for a moment, and Chen Qiang and the rest were also frozen in place. Were they... being looked down upon?

These eight Heavenly Level Grand Masters, all in their twenties, were treated as dignitaries everywhere they went. Now, were they being scorned by a youth of similar age?

They had envisioned many scenarios upon their arrival, but they had truly never thought that there would be a day when they would be looked down upon. Although Jiang Chen spoke diplomatically, they still felt the disdain!

Chen Qiang and the others showed a hint of displeasure in their eyes, but when they looked around the room, besides the people they were supposed to protect, it seemed the weakest were two Grandmasters who had just broken through to the Heavenly Level.

It made sense why they were deemed unworthy.

Think about it, with three Semi Grand Masters and four Innate Grand Masters around, did they really need eight Heavenly Level Grand Masters to protect someone important?

With this thought, they suddenly felt they were not here to protect people but to be a laughing stock.

"Mr. Jiang, our injuries are not serious, so... we will be leaving first!"

Xia Yu's face turned beet red as she wished she could find a hole to crawl into. She had never felt so humiliated. When they arrived, they thought the task too simple, too boring, but in the blink of an eye, they were being scorned, deemed unworthy, and they truly were somewhat unworthy, which was mortifying for them!

The eight of them ran out of the villa as if they were fleeing a disaster, and once outside, they exchanged glances and all gave a bitter smile.

"What is this all about? With such strong protection around Director Jiang, why did he need us? Is this meant to humiliate us?" Hu Lai said indignantly.

"Hu Lai, what nonsense are you spouting?" Xia Yu glared at Hu Lai and then glanced at the villa, speaking softly, "Director Jiang cares too much for those women and wanted more protection for them; who knew... we would be... too weak!"

It was hard for Xia Yu to admit those last two words. Heavenly Level Grand Masters in their twenties were weak? That would be an achievement many could never reach in a lifetime, yet in comparison to those in this villa, they were too weak!

"What should we do?" Chen Qiang was at a loss. They had just arrived and were being asked to leave without having done anything; at least Xia Yu and one other seemed to have seen combat, so he had to seek their opinion.

After pondering for a moment, Xia Yu said softly, "There's no other way. As embarrassing as it is, we will have to report to Elder Xu. We can't just leave without any explanation, right?"

With a resigned shake of her head, Xia Yu took out her phone and dialed a number.
