Chapter 16

Chapter 16: My Master’s Ancestors Were Immortal Cultivators

When Jiang Huai Ying heard Du He Xuan’s threat, she did not get angry. Instead, she laughed and said: “Make my life hard? I want to see how you plan to make my life hard.”

As soon as she said that, the black-clad bodyguards all took a step forward at the same time. The fight was about to start.

Seeing this, Du An Rao no longer had time to study the unlucky tie between her second brother and Jiang Huai Ying. She smiled and said: “President Jiang, why make things so ugly? My second brother did not mean it like that. Please don’t be mad. How does that saying go again? Harmony is the most valuable, harmony is the most valuable.”

Jiang Huai Ying heard her and thought Du An Rao had been scared by the scene and was giving in on her own. She raised her brows proudly, and her tone grew even more mocking and hard.

“I do not care what he meant. Today, whether you want to or not, you have to come with me. If you know what is good for you, you can still suffer less. Otherwise, my people are not pushovers. If things really get ugly, the only ones who will lose are you.”

Hearing this, Du An Rao put away her smile and said with meaning: “So there is no room to talk?”

“What is there to talk about?” Jiang Huai Ying had already run out of patience. She reached out, wanting to pinch Du An Rao’s face, but the other girl grabbed her wrist first.

“Then there is no helping it. You were the one who started it.”

“What?” Jiang Huai Ying froze. Only then did she notice that both her hands had somehow been caught by Du An Rao. She tried to pull them back on instinct, but… they did not move at all.

“You…” Jiang Huai Ying’s face changed at once. She yanked hard, but her wrists were already turning red, and that grip on her hands still did not loosen at all.

The burning pain made Jiang Huai Ying flare up in rage. She turned her head and shouted in panic at the black-clad bodyguards behind her: “Are you all dead? Hurry up and drag her away for me!”

The others had not even noticed the struggle between the two of them. Only when Jiang Huai Ying yelled did they snap back to themselves and move forward, ready to lay hands on Du An Rao.

How could Du He Xuan just watch his sister suffer? He rolled up his sleeves, ready to join the fight, but Du An Rao pushed him aside.

“Go over there. Don’t make trouble.”

Pushed so hard that he almost stumbled, Du He Xuan was left speechless.

Zhou Shun Zhe and the other man in the room were just as torn. They did not know whether they should step in to help.

However, before they could finish hesitating, they all watched with their own eyes as Du An Rao, holding Jiang Huai Ying with one hand, grabbed the wrist of the nearest black-clad bodyguard reaching out to seize her with the other. With just a bit of force, she swung that strong man who was twice her size and flung him straight into the wall of the private room.

Yes. She actually flung him.

When the bodyguard hit the wall, the noise was so loud that the whole room shook. Then he slid down like a torn sack and hit the floor with a thud, letting out a painful howl.

The three people in the room were all stunned.

So was Xi Jing Yue, who had rushed to the door in a hurry.

What kind of innate divine strength was that? They must have been so nervous that they were seeing things.

The scene after that almost went out of control. In Director Gao’s words, in all his years of directing, this was the first time he had seen someone, without any fancy moves or tricks, rely only on raw strength to beat people until they were flying everywhere.

Ahem, this was of course an exaggeration, but he had no doubt that if the room had not been so small and limiting, Du An Rao really could have thrown them all out.

This one-sided brawl started suddenly and ended just as dramatically.

When everyone finally came back to their senses, the six or seven black-clad bodyguards were either lying or sitting on the floor, groaning in pain. Not a single one could stand up.

The floor of the private room was covered with broken bowls and plates. The tables, chairs, and decorations were all knocked over. It was a complete mess.

Once Du An Rao calmed down and took a look, her face went a bit stiff. She quietly drew back her little troublemaking paws.

[Uh, they will not make me pay for this, right? Later you all must help prove it for me. She really started it first. This was self defense, self defense! Sob, can I pay a bit less like this?]

Du He Xuan, whose commercial value was over a hundred million and who felt he had been looked down on, was speechless.

[Don’t worry. With your brother here, never mind this private room, even if you smash the whole hotel, your brother can afford it.]

And if that still was not enough, there was still their dad and their older brother.

Their older brother and Father Du, who had no idea they were being treated as backup ATMs, would only be able to go: “?”

Xi Jing Yue, who had reached the door a moment too late, was both annoyed and amused. Seeing that she still had the mood to worry about compensation at a time like this, he felt sure she really had not been at a disadvantage at all. All his worry just now had been for nothing.

Du An Rao felt guilty for only a moment. After her gaze swept over the black-clad bodyguards groaning on the floor, she immediately felt justified again.

[See, I said I had to come. If I were not here today, my second brother would probably already have been dragged back by that old woman to be her bandit husband… cough, her little bandit lover.]

Du He Xuan, who had almost become that captive little lover, twitched hard at the corners of his mouth, both angry and amused.

[All right, all right, from now on you are Second Brother’s strongest protector. When we get back, I will have Brother Zhou order a few more sets of jewelry for you as a bonus.]

Luckily, Du An Rao did not know what her second brother was thinking, or she might have packed her suitcase and run away in the middle of the night.

That previous set of jewelry already had her worrying so much she could not sleep, afraid that in the middle of the night someone would crawl in through the window and steal it. If a few more sets came, she probably would not sleep at all.

Jiang Huai Ying also had not expected that just trying to catch a little plaything she liked and take him back for a few days of fun would end with her losing face and throwing in her entire bodyguard team along with herself.

Her face was as white as paper, and she could not stop trembling, both angry and afraid.

“You… you… who in the world are you?”

“Hm? Did my brother not just say it? I am his real sister, born from the same father and mother, one hundred percent real, no cheating the young or the old.” Du An Rao paused, glanced at the people on the table and floor, and showed a harmless, pure smile.

“As for this part, I come from a Daoist priest background. My master’s lay surname is Yuan. They say one of his ancestors was a famous man named Yuan Tian Gang.”

“You are a Daoist priest?” Jiang Huai Ying’s voice suddenly shot up, and her head buzzed. “What kind of nonsense is this?”

“To put it plainly, my Master’s ancestors were into Immortal Cultivation. As his true disciple, even if all of you ordinary folks joined together, you probably still could not beat me.”

Everyone fell silent. There was no “probably” about it. They could not beat her at all.

Jiang Huai Ying was so angry that her face turned dark, but she did not dare explode, afraid that if Du An Rao got unhappy she would beat her up too.

Just then, the late-arriving host of the private room finally showed up again and asked at just the right time: “This is… what happened?”

Jiang Huai Ying’s eyes lit up a little. She had never been as grateful for Xi Jing Yue’s appearance as she was now: “Xi…”

Before she could finish, Du An Rao cut in first: “Sister Jiang’s bodyguards did not eat dinner, so they wanted to come in and have something to fill their stomachs. But the private room is only so big, and there were not enough seats. They started arguing over the seats, and then arguing turned into fighting, and that is how we ended up like this.”

Everyone who had watched the whole thing from beginning to end almost burst out laughing.

The greedy bodyguards lying on the floor who could not get up were silent. They felt even more wronged than Dou E.
