Huang Xiaolong was immediately displeased. He had thought his words would shut this stinking beggar up, but unexpectedly, the man had the audacity to challenge him to a match. Who gave him the courage to say something so brainless?

Su Qingning was anxious. "Lin Xiao, stop spouting nonsense!"

This was no joke; Huang Xiaolong was a Martial Artist. Besides, Lin Xiao's words had already infuriated him. If they really fought, Huang Xiaolong would undoubtedly show no mercy. That was why she had hurried to stop Lin Xiao.

"We'll see if I'm spouting nonsense after a match," Lin Xiao said with a smile.

Huang Xiaolong grew even more annoyed. "Damn it! You want a match? Let's have a match."

A stinking beggar actually dared to challenge him. He must be tired of living.

Seeing Huang Xiaolong agree to Lin Xiao's request, Su Qingning became even more anxious. "Lin Xiao, don't court death!"

"Honey, don't be afraid. Today, I'm going to show you what a truly top-tier martial artist looks like!" Lin Xiao said with a laugh.

Su Qingning felt like she was about to spit blood from frustration. Things were already on a knife's edge, yet this shameless rogue still dared to brag.

"You idiot, do you think this is a game? Someone could get killed!" Su Qingning said furiously.

Lin Xiao asked in feigned surprise, "What? Someone's going to die? Is it that serious?"

He hadn't planned on killing Huang Xiaolong.

Su Qingning glared fiercely at Lin Xiao. She was completely fed up with this shameless rogue. How could he be so ignorant yet brag so recklessly?

Huang Xiaolong, however, just scoffed. "Kid, scared now? Let me tell you, it's too late. You wanted a match, right? Then let me see what your cultivation is made of!"

As he spoke, Huang Xiaolong prepared to make a move.

Su Qingning's heart sank. She quickly said, "Mr. Huang, I apologize on behalf of Lin Xiao. He's just a fool, please don't take him seriously!"

"Hmph, I don't care if he's a pig or a dog. Since he dared to provoke me, there's only one outcome for him: death!"

Hearing Huang Xiaolong's words, Su Qingning knew he was serious. She was certain that once Huang Xiaolong attacked, Lin Xiao would undoubtedly suffer the consequences. She became as frantic as an ant on a hot griddle and shot Lin Xiao an annoyed glare. Why did he have to brag for no reason?

However, as much as Su Qingning hated Lin Xiao's death-courting behavior, she couldn't just stand by and watch him get beaten up. "Mr. Huang, how about this: if you're willing to spare him, I'll hire you at the price you just quoted!"

Huang Xiaolong sneered disdainfully. "Too late. The price has gone up. Fifteen million."

Lin Xiao let out a cold laugh. "You really have a death wish, don't you?"

Su Qingning was so angry she felt like she would spit blood. How could this guy still talk back? If it weren't for his big mouth, why would Huang Xiaolong suddenly demand an extra five million?

"You, shut up! Mr. Huang, fifteen million it is!"

In the end, to keep this shameless rogue from coming to harm, Su Qingning had no choice but to agree, even though she was so frustrated that she secretly wished Huang Xiaolong would teach him a harsh lesson.

Huang Xiaolong grinned triumphantly. "Deal!"

"And who said I agreed?" Lin Xiao stated dismissively.

At these words, Su Qingning felt like she was going to explode. She had just managed to convince Huang Xiaolong to drop the matter, and now this fool was still determined to get himself killed.

Huang Xiaolong was utterly enraged. "Fine! Excellent! Miss Su, since this stinking beggar insists on courting death, you can't blame me. Besides, he doesn't deserve you. How about this: after I take care of him, you can be with me!"

A chilling light flashed in Lin Xiao's eyes. If he hadn't wanted to recommend Pei Donglai to Su Qingning, he would have killed Huang Xiaolong for that sentence alone.

Su Qingning's beautiful eyes reddened with anger. "You bastard! You heard him! Are you happy now?"

"Honey, why the rush? We'll see who's really courting death," Lin Xiao said calmly.

Huang Xiaolong said coldly, "Damn it. I'll send you trash to meet the King of Hell right now." As he spoke, he was about to attack.

"Wait. My cultivation is too strong; fighting you would be bullying. I'll just find someone to spar with you."

SNICKER. Huang Xiaolong let out a sinister laugh. So, after all this, the stinking beggar was just a coward. Too afraid to fight himself, he was trying to find a scapegoat to die in his place.

Su Qingning was so angry she was speechless. At this point, she actually hoped Huang Xiaolong would teach him a harsh lesson. Maybe then he'd think twice before acting so recklessly in the future.

"What, looking for a scapegoat? Fine by me. I'd love to see who else dares to step up and die!" Huang Xiaolong said with a sinister smile.

Lin Xiao shrugged and beckoned to Pei Donglai, who was standing not far away. Pei Donglai quickly walked over.

When Su Qingning saw him, her heart sank. She never would have dreamed that Lin Xiao would pick someone from the security team to fight Huang Xiaolong. A security guard against a Martial Artist? Was this some kind of joke?

Su Qingning was so infuriated she could only laugh bitterly. She really didn't know what to say anymore.

Uncle Zhong sighed heavily. Although he didn't look down on Lin Xiao, he now felt the young man was far too unreliable. How could he just randomly pull a security guard to fight Huang Xiaolong? What if the man got hurt? That would just create more trouble for Su Qingning.

Huang Xiaolong, however, started to laugh, a sinister edge to his voice. He had expected the stinking beggar to find someone at least halfway decent. But in the end, it was just some worthless security guard? Only a complete moron would make such a decision.

"Captain, your orders?" Pei Donglai asked respectfully.

Lin Xiao said with a smile, "Well, Miss Su hired a Martial Artist for our bar. He's asking for a ridiculous price, but I don't think he's even as strong as you."

"Captain, are you saying you want me to have a match with him?"

"That's right."

"Alright, I have no problem with that. Who am I fighting?"

"Him," Lin Xiao pointed at Huang Xiaolong.

Pei Donglai's gaze fell on Huang Xiaolong, sizing him up for a few moments. Then he asked tentatively, "Captain, maybe we should just drop it?"

As soon as he said this, Su Qingning breathed a sigh of relief. This rogue might be unreliable, but at least Pei Donglai had enough sense not to get himself killed.

Huang Xiaolong smiled smugly. He knew a lousy security guard wouldn't dare challenge him.

Lin Xiao, however, looked at Pei Donglai in confusion. "Why drop it? Are you scared?"

Seeing Lin Xiao's displeasure, Pei Donglai quickly explained, "Captain, I am a bit scared. But I'm not scared of losing to him. I'm scared I'll kill him with a single blow. After all, he's just too weak."

BOOM!

Huang Xiaolong felt as if he might explode with rage. A worthless security guard dared to be so arrogant, completely disregarding him, a Yellow Level Martial Artist.

"Damn it, you're an arrogant little punk, aren't you? Fine! Don't blame me for being ruthless when you're crying for mercy later!" Huang Xiaolong roared.

Lin Xiao just grinned. "Pei Donglai, you hear that? He says he's going to make you cry."

"Understood, Captain. Don't worry, I won't bring shame to you."

With that, Huang Xiaolong could no longer contain his fury. He let out a furious roar and lunged at Pei Donglai.

It had to be said, although this guy was only a Yellow Level Martial Artist, his strength was the real deal. He charged like a starving wolf descending a mountain, his speed and momentum both ferocious.

But Pei Donglai stood completely still, an expression of utter disdain in his eyes.

Just as Huang Xiaolong closed in, Pei Donglai swung a powerful backhand slap across his face.
