Chapter 779: Chapter 0697: The Extremely Regretful Zhang Yuting
Zhong Peiling only felt that her previous behavior seemed idiotic, like a clown trying to get attention in front of such a terrifying person.
If Ye Qingfeng were to deal with her the way he dealt with Wu Sicong, she dared not imagine the consequences.
"Crown Prince, who... is he really? How can he be so powerful?"
The girl couldn’t help but ask Wei Wuming cautiously, curiosity filling her heart.
"Powerful?" Wei Wuming shook his head mockingly, "That is not merely powerful, it’s downright monstrous!"
"In front of him, we are just ants on the ground, while he is a dragon flying through the Nine Heavens, sweeping across all directions!"
At this moment, Wei Wuming seemed to be venting the resentment and injustice in his heart.
"From now on, when you see him, either show him respect or avoid him entirely, because if we provoke him again, our entire Black Tiger Association could be wiped out in an instant!"
"Remember, we cannot afford to provoke him, and no one else can either!"
"Not just in Yanjing, but looking across Huaxia, even the whole world, there are few who can stand against him!"
"He stands atop the world!"
As Wei Wuming’s voice fell, those present were once again stunned.
Across Huaxia, even the world, there are few who can provoke him; what kind of concept is this?
That ordinary-looking young man is actually terrifying to this extent?
No one doubted Wei Wuming’s words, given his status, he wouldn’t be exaggerating.
Zhong Peiling swallowed, her beautiful eyes full of longing and curiosity.
"A top of the world?"
She murmured softly, eagerly wanting to know what made this young man hold such an exalted status and terrifying intimidation power.
Zhang Yuting was filled with regret, almost wanting to bash her head against the wall.
If she had stayed obediently with Jiang Chen, just by relying on Jiang Chen’s connection with Ye Qingfeng, she could have basked in his glory and received ten times, a hundred times more respect and adulation than she does now.
But because she couldn’t resist temptation and threw herself into another’s arms, she lost a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. And the man she chose, just because of a word from Ye Qingfeng, now his whole family faces the threat of bankruptcy, it’s truly a cruel joke played on her by fate.
Silent tears streamed down her face, but at this moment, no one showed even a bit of sympathy for her, nor did anyone even notice her.
"From today on, everyone is to act modestly. Do not flaunt my name outside, and anyone who does will be severely punished!"
Wei Wuming said sternly and then left with large strides. Tonight’s events also left him humiliated.
The others timidly followed behind, all with lowered eyes. What happened just now would forever remain indelible in their minds.
And it was today that they realized a fact, that the so-called Yanjing Crown Prince is not truly the first among the younger generation, that indifferent and proud young man is undeniably the true king among the younger generation.
On the streets near Huqing University, the shock on Jiang Chen and Song Shuyao’s faces had yet to fade. Jiang Chen couldn’t help but ask, "Boss, you’re incredible, even Wei Wuming is so afraid of you. What’s the deal?"
Song Shuyao also looked puzzled, her heart full of curiosity and delight. Delighted that the one she liked was so powerful, even the Yanjing Crown Prince had to bow, but curious about who Ye Qingfeng really was and what could possibly enable him to achieve all this?
"How should I put it!" Ye Qingfeng patted his shoulder, "You can understand it as me being strong enough."
"In my eyes, the Black Tiger Association and Wei Wuming are like insignificant grass. Whether they are eliminated or not is entirely up to my whim!"
If Ye Qingfeng had said those words earlier, Song Shuyao and Jiang Chen would have thought he was bragging, but now they had no doubt about them.
"Jiang Chen, it’s not wrong for women to be vain, but excessively vain women lose their value!"
Ye Qingfeng’s tone was calm: "Besides, you should also have your own considerations. You said it yourself, if you’re strong enough, you won’t worry about losing the women around you!"
"After today, I hope you can pull yourself together and focus on real matters. I can’t promise much, but I can assure you, whatever you need, I have it, as long as you have the intent, I will fully support you!"
Jiang Chen was immensely moved, staying silent for a moment, then sincerely and gratefully said.
"Boss, I understand, thank you, truly thank you!"
Ye Qingfeng waved his hand: "Alright, cut the pleasantries, I’m leaving, you two head back to school, I’ll introduce you to your sister-in-law next time!"
Hearing Ye Qingfeng’s words, Jiang Chen nodded repeatedly: "Wow, Boss, you finally have a girlfriend, I’m really curious, what kind of girl could be your girlfriend, you must introduce her to me!"
But Song Shuyao standing nearby felt a stabbing pain in her heart, as if pierced by a sharp sword.
"He has a girlfriend?"
She knew Ye Qingfeng studied at Yanjing University, but was unaware of his relationship with Ouyang Liluo. Miao Miaomiao had never told her, and suddenly hearing this, she was instantly stunned, her heart chaotic.
"Alright, off you go!"
Ye Qingfeng waved and then gently nodded to Song Shuyao before quickening his pace and disappearing down the street.
Song Shuyao sighed inwardly, finally meeting but barely exchanging a few words.
The two stood in place for a long time before turning to head back to school.
Ye Qingfeng walked along the street, bought a snack to share with Ouyang Liluo, and was about to bring it back to school when he suddenly stopped.
He turned his head towards Huqing University, where a flame quietly appeared.
"Bang!"
On a lawn near Huqing University, a column of flame shot into the sky, causing onlookers from a distance to display shocked expressions, unsure of what was happening.
On the lawn, a fire circle about ten meters in size emerged, surrounding a group of people.
The one leading them was Wei Wuming, standing near the fire circle with an extremely ugly expression.
He had led the group through the main entrance of Huqing University and out the back door, intending to find a spot for a late-night meal and discuss future plans with his core members. Little did he expect that as soon as they exited the campus, disaster would strike from above.
A flame fell from the sky, exploded above their heads, and then turned into countless sparks that scattered in all directions, igniting a raging fire around them.
The core members of the Black Tiger Association were full of terror, feeling that everything happening was utterly unreal, but the heat from the surrounding flames caused their faces to change color.
"What’s happening?"
Zhong Peiling stood behind Wei Wuming, her face full of horror as fear danced in her heart.
These Black Tiger Association members had never encountered such a situation. Each of them stood dumbfounded, retreating to the center of the fire circle, afraid of being touched by the flames.
