PFFT.

A thunderous burst of laughter echoed through the small security room.

Qi Cun was laughing so hard he nearly fell to the ground.

Zhou Boran was also laughing, but his laughter held a sinister edge.

"Good. Very good. Come on, let me see how you're going to make me kneel and apologize today!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Pei Donglai swung a heavy hand across his face.

SLAP.

Zhou Boran felt a world-shattering force smash viciously into his head. His mind instantly went blank with a deafening buzz. By the time he regained his senses, he was already kneeling on the floor.

Excruciating pain followed. His head throbbed as if it were about to explode, and the agony forced a scream from Zhou Boran's lips.

Qi Cun wasn't laughing anymore. Not only had his laughter died, but the scene before him had drained the color from his face, leaving him deathly pale with shock. He had every reason to be shocked. His senior brother possessed an Earth Level cultivation! With such extraordinary power, he had been taken down by this lousy security guard with a single slap. It was a shock unlike any he had ever experienced.

Qi Cun even began to suspect that it was this same security guard who had dealt with him last night. After all, he knew that truly elite masters could come and go without a trace.

"Shut up!" Pei Donglai ordered coldly.

Zhou Boran, who had been wailing in pain just a moment ago, immediately fell silent. He had no choice. The cultivation of this worthless security guard was simply too formidable, far beyond his comprehension.

"Kneel and apologize to our captain!" Pei Donglai said indifferently.

A surge of unprecedented fury erupted in Zhou Boran's heart. "Kid, I admit your cultivation is stronger than mine, but don't you fucking forget, I'm a member of the Asura Hall! Forcing me to kneel to that stinking beggar today isn't just humiliating me, it's humiliating the entire Asura Hall! From now on, all of us will be your enemy. I advise you to think carefully before you speak again."

Pei Donglai stared at him with cold eyes. "Are you threatening me?"

Zhou Boran didn't answer. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but that he didn't dare. The terrifying murderous intent radiating from the security guard filled him with fear.

"Kneel! Apologize!" Pei Donglai suddenly bellowed.

The sound exploded like a clap of thunder next to Zhou Boran and Qi Cun's ears, causing both of them to shudder in fright. An immense, oppressive force bore down on them.

Zhou Boran couldn't take it anymore. With a thud, he knelt before Lin Xiao.

"I'm… I'm sorry!" he forced out, his voice incredibly stiff.

The moment he spoke, Pei Donglai kicked him squarely in the head.

THUMP.

Zhou Boran screamed again, this time from the fresh wave of pain.

"Are you trying to fool a ghost? Show me some real sincerity!" Pei Donglai demanded. As he spoke, his gaze shifted to Qi Cun. The terrifying killing intent made Qi Cun tremble.

"You're not kneeling?" Pei Donglai asked coldly.

BOOM!

Qi Cun's mind went completely blank. He had never dreamed that he would be forced to kneel as well. Of course, he didn't want to, but he knew he couldn't afford to provoke this guard. Under that cold, piercing gaze, Qi Cun humiliatingly knelt.

"You stinking—"

The word had barely left his mouth when Pei Donglai struck him with a resounding slap. A searing, fiery pain flooded his cheek. Enduring the deep humiliation boiling inside him, Qi Cun stammered, "Lin… Lin Xiao, I'm… I'm sorry! I'm a fucking idiot! Please, let me go!"

Hearing this, Zhou Boran quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes! We're fucking idiots! We'll never dare to act so recklessly again! Please, spare us!"

Pei Donglai snorted coldly. He then turned respectfully to Lin Xiao and asked, "Captain, has your anger been vented?"

Lin Xiao replied nonchalantly, "It's alright, I suppose."

Pei Donglai nodded. "You can get lost now. But let me make one thing clear: if you dare to pull this kind of shit again, I guarantee you'll regret ever being born!"

Pei Donglai's voice was chillingly sharp, the words like knives scraping against the two scumbags. Zhou Boran and Qi Cun shuddered, then scrambled to get away.

"Hold on," Lin Xiao said unhurriedly.

His voice wasn't loud, but it made both Zhou Boran and Qi Cun tremble violently.

"What… what else is there?" Zhou Boran asked, his voice shaking.

"Qi Cun, go back and tell Liu San to come here and kneel before the bar's entrance to atone. Otherwise, I won't mind wiping you all out."

As soon as he heard this, a wave of manic joy suddenly replaced the fear in Qi Cun's heart.

Idiot! You think with this lousy security guard backing you, you can do whatever you want in Jinling City? Daring to make our Third Master Liu kneel and apologize at the bar's entrance? You just wait for him to kill you!

Despite his thoughts, Qi Cun put on a terrified expression. "I… I understand! I'll be sure to deliver the message!"

"Now, you can get lost!"

As if granted amnesty, the two of them scrambled away, terrified that any delay would bring more punishment.

After they left the bar, Qi Cun spoke with feigned apology, "Senior Brother, I'm sorry you had to suffer because of me. I truly had no idea that security guard was so powerful!"

Zhou Boran snorted coldly. "It's nothing. He's just one security guard. So what if I'm not his match? Don't forget, I'm from the Asura Hall. I will definitely report what happened today. Our master is famous for being protective of his own. He will surely send a top expert to avenge me."

Qi Cun nodded. "Senior Brother, I'll also pass that smelly beggar's words to Third Master Liu. To dare make Third Master Liu kneel at the bar's door and apologize… he must be tired of living! But enough of that. Come, I'll treat you to a meal. After we eat, we'll go find some real fun."

A sinister smile spread across Zhou Boran's face. "I've heard that Su Qingning is the number one beauty in Jinling City. It would be great to have some fun with her!"

Qi Cun was taken aback for a moment. "Senior Brother, even you've heard of how beautiful Su Qingning is?"

"I heard some of the disciples in the sect talking about her a while back. They said she's mesmerizingly beautiful and has an incredibly hot body. Is it true?"

Qi Cun grinned. "It's true. She's even more enticing than the rumors suggest. Why, Senior Brother? Do you have some ideas?"

"Well, what man doesn't like a beautiful woman?" Zhou Boran said with a vicious smile.

"But Senior Brother, you probably don't know this. That smelly beggar from earlier is Su Qingning's husband."

"What? Su Qingning married a smelly beggar?" Zhou Boran asked, looking utterly shocked.

"It makes no sense, does it?"

Zhou Boran's sneer only widened. "That's even better. Junior Brother, after we eat, let's come back here and have some fun."

"Senior Brother, you're thinking of making a move on Su Qingning?" Qi Cun asked, a hint of anxiety in his voice. He couldn't help it; Pei Donglai's skills still terrified him.

"Exactly. She married a smelly beggar anyway, so what's the harm if we have a little fun? And what can that beggar do even if he finds out? Don't forget, we're from the Asura Palace. Does he actually dare to kill us?"

Qi Cun's eyes lit up. With a sinister grin, he said, "Senior Brother, you're right! Let's go eat. After we get back, we'll have a good time with her!"

After watching the two scumbags leave, Lin Xiao smiled. "Pei Donglai, you handled that well."

"Thank you for the praise, Captain. Oh, by the way, Captain, there's a favor I'd like to ask of you."

Lin Xiao chuckled. "What's with the formality? Just say it."
