Red Envelope Group of the Three Realms

"Why?! How did this happen? Someone, please explain it to me!"

In the private room, Zhuang Lao Taijun was roaring furiously with a darkened face. She and Zhuang Jiuxiao could feel slap after slap on their faces – which was infuriating.

The most talented prodigy in the Zhuang Family!

It was so close for him to bring victory to the Zhuang Family. Unfortunately, victory was nowhere to be seen. Instead, he was being slapped around by Chen Xiaobei.

"There is something unusual about those white silk threads… Jiuxiao has fallen into that bastard's trap…"

Feeling embarrassed, Zhuang Hao did not dare to lift his head to look at others. Earlier on he was just praising Zhuang Jiuxiao that he would definitely do something great in the future. To his surprise, the trophy of the Zhuang Family was just a piece of junk to Chen Xiaobei.

"Master Zhuang! This is not the time to study the white silk! Ask your bodyguards to do something about it quickly! If not, Master Jiuxiao's life will be in danger!"

The calm and collected Elder Su finally reacted. He was forced to urge Zhuang Hao to save Zhuang Jiuxiao. His face was flushed as he knew that he just embarrassed himself greatly. Not too long ago, he was the one that said Zhuang Jiuxiao could defeat Chen Xiaobei easily. Nobody would have thought that his words would turn into a hard slap which landed on his face. As such, his reputation was ruined.

At that moment, Lan Mengchen was the only person in the room that had a different thought in mind. Her initial despair was replaced by a pleasant surprise. She could not believe that not only Chen Xiaobei did not lose in the fight; instead, Zhuang Jiuxiao was the one that was beaten up. She found it hard to believe; it felt like a dream.

Considering that she had known Chen Xiaobei for a good amount of time, she found it hard to believe that the arrogant and dominating young man on the TV was the poor farmer boy that she once knew. This transformation of his was simply astonishing. She had a feeling that this was not Chen Xiaobei's limit. As long as he could overcome the problem here, he was practically unstoppable.

"Idiots! What the hell are you guys doing? Move it!"

Immediately, Zhuang Hao made a call to yell at his bodyguards.

....

In the private room where Chen Xiaobei was at.

The four top-notch bodyguards were left in shock when they saw Chen Xiaobei slapping Zhuang Jiuxiao around.

"Kid! Let Master Jiuxiao goes right now!"

The leader of the bodyguards was a short man. Judging from his steady tone, one could tell that he was a man that could not be easily shaken. Normally, he was the one that gave orders and no one would dare to disobey him. Right after that, the rest of the three bodyguards stood in a triangular position and locked on to Chen Xiaobei. At the same time, they were secretly channeling True Qi to their body – getting ready to attack Chen Xiaobei whenever they saw a golden opportunity. It seemed that the four of them always worked together as the teamwork among them was flawless.

Ding!

[Cultivation: Halfstep True Nirvana Stage. Health: 20,000. Combat power: 20,000 (+5000)!]

The short man's true strength was revealed to Chen Xiaobei with the help of the Netherspirit Battlescouter. 

[Cultivation: Halfstep True Nirvana Stage. Health: 20,000. Combat power: 20,000 (+3000)!]

The rest of the three bodyguards were not weaklings as well. Without a doubt, the Thousand Webs Bracelet could never trap them if all four of them decided to attack Chen Xiaobei at the same time. He would certainly be killed within seconds. However, fear did not get the best of Chen Xiaobei.

*SLAP!*

He slapped Zhuang Jiuxiao's face again.

"So, you guys are asking me to let him go? Who do you think you are?" asked Chen Xiaobei scornfully.

"You will die in vain if you don't let him go now!"

"Hehe… You make it sound like you guys are going to let me leave this place in one piece if I let him go! Since this is a standoff, I think I should kill him first! Then I shall spend some time to have fun with you guys!"

"Ugh… No… Please don't kill me… I beg you… Please…"

With his body shaking uncontrollably due to fear, Zhuang Jiuxiao almost wet his pants. Judging from what Chen Xiaobei just said, he knew that Chen Xiaobei had no intention to use him as a hostage. It seemed like Chen Xiaobei had what it took to fight with the Zhuang Family until the end.

"No! Please don't kill Master Jiuxiao! Please don't do anything impulsive! Let's talk about it properly."

Seeing that Chen Xiaobei was not afraid of his threat, the short man was forced to take a step back.

"Talk about it? You are not worthy! You have three minutes to ask your master to come here! One second later than that, you can prepare to collect his corpse!"

"No… Please don't do it… I beg you…"

"Alright! Hold on! I'm going to talk to my master now!"

The short man could not fathom what Chen Xiaobei had in mind. Meanwhile, the remaining three bodyguards were instructed to keep an eye on Chen Xiaobei. However, they did not dare to do anything that would incite taunting. Chen Xiaobei might kill Zhuang Jiuxiao if they made him angry.

After that, Chen Xiaobei sat on the chair with his legs crossed and Zhuang Jiuxiao was kneeling beside him like a dog.

....

In the other private room.

"Master Zhuang, what should we do about it?" asked the short man.

Everyone in the room had seen what just happened in the room. No doubt, they were having a hard time solving this matter.

"This is strange! If it was any other person, they would use Jiuxiao as a hostage in exchange for walking out unscathed! Where does he find the courage to sit there and demand to meet us?! Could it be that he is not afraid of us at all?" said Zhuang Hao.

Upon hearing that, Lan Mengchen was baffled by Chen Xiaobei's action as well.

"I think there is someone powerful behind him! Without a powerful support, there is no way that he would dare to act in such an arrogant manner!" said Elder Su.

"Support? What kind of support gives him the right to disrespect us?"

Zhuang Lao Taijun was so furious that she gritted her teeth.

"If he is from one of those ancient factions, he definitely has all the right in the world to disrespect us!" said Elder Su.

"Ancient faction? Like those individuals that disconnect from the world and train in their own world?"

Zhuang Lao Taijun and Zhuang Hao were taken aback. Considering that Zhuang Family had almost unlimited access to different resources and were extremely powerful, only those ancient factions could put fear in them.

"Both of you, don't worry for now. My friend is an elder from an ancient faction. Everything will be under control when he is here later! Let's go down and stall for some time. We will deal with him properly when my friend is here!" said Elder Su.
