“Ye Chu!” Pang Shao and the others looked at the young man who walked out and were instantly overjoyed. Huang Lin even threw herself forward, hugging Ye Chu tightly and jumping up with excitement.
Ye Chu had Huang Lin hanging on him like a monkey. He lightly slapped Huang Lin’s bottom. This little girl had not been seen for a long time, and she had grown quite well. Her small body felt soft and full against his.
“You are all grown up, yet you still act so wildly!” Ye Chu patted Huang Lin’s head, scolding her with affectionate laughter. This little girl had been their princess before, and now she was probably spoiled rotten by a group of people.
Having her bottom slapped, Huang Lin’s face turned slightly red. She rubbed her bottom with her hand and said coquettishly, “Taking advantage of me as soon as we meet!”
Ye Chu turned his head as if he had not heard. He thought that although this little girl’s bottom was rounder and her chest more prominent, she was still an unripe grape. He had no interest in taking advantage of her.
“Ye Chu, Liang Shan!” Pang Shao and the group were also very happy to see Ye Chu. They gathered around him and greeted him.
Ye Chu nodded to them without saying much. He turned to look at the Seventh Prince and his group and said, “I heard you wanted to teach me a good lesson?”
The Seventh Prince’s pupils contracted sharply, especially seeing Huang Lin being intimate beside Ye Chu. The coldness in his eyes deepened. “Are you the so-called Ye Chu they talk about? Looking at your appearance, you are nothing special!”
“Indeed, nothing special!” Ye Chu smiled and looked at them. “But I can easily give each of you a slap.”
Pang Shao and the others had originally worried that Ye Chu was not a match for the Seventh Prince’s group. Although Ye Chu had been the strongest among them in the past, they had not seen him for a long time and did not know if he could still surpass them. Especially Pang Shao, although he had deep memories of Ye Chu’s strength, his own power had increased greatly recently, boosting his confidence. Otherwise, he would not have told Liang Shan that he wanted to compete with Ye Chu.
But all their worries vanished instantly when Ye Chu spoke these words.
They knew very well what kind of person Ye Chu was. Since Ye Chu dared to say this, he definitely had means to deal with them.
“Hehe, it is truly laughable. There are too many confident people in the world, but much of that confidence is just another word for arrogance.” The Seventh Prince was disdainful. Although Ye Chu had been famous in the Imperial Capital back then, he did not know him. Only the group of nobles following him felt some fear. The memory Ye Chu had left them was too deep, and they still felt some lingering fear.
But thinking that their strength had increased significantly and that the Seventh Prince was present, the fear in their hearts disappeared instantly. They stepped forward and shouted, “Ye Chu, who do you think you are? Why do you not salute His Highness the Prince upon seeing him?”
Ye Chu glanced at the speaker. This was a noble son. His impression of him was not deep. He only remembered that he and Pang Shao had teased him in the past.
Ye Chu said nothing and just stood there. Just as they were sneering, a slapping sound rang out. The crisp slap echoed in the space. Many people could not react in time. They looked around and finally saw the slap mark on the face of the noble who had spoken. His face had a red and swollen palm print.
Everyone instantly sucked in a breath of cold air. That red and swollen palm print felt like a whip striking their own bodies. They had not seen how Ye Chu had made his move.
The Seventh Prince’s expression also changed drastically. With his strength, he had not been able to detect it. This indicated that Ye Chu’s strength was far greater than his. Thinking of this possibility, they stared at Ye Chu dumbfounded, silent as cicadas in winter.
Ye Chu smiled and looked at the group. “Slap yourself, and I will let you off. If I do it, I am afraid it will not be so pleasant.”
His voice was not loud. Pang Shao and the others were extremely excited. They shouted arrogantly one after another, “Why have you not slapped yourselves yet? Do you want us to do it? Hmph, fine. We have long wanted to teach you a lesson. Hahaha…”
As they spoke, everyone rolled up their sleeves, preparing to step forward and slap people.
“You dare!” The Seventh Prince roared, staring at Ye Chu and his group. His eyes were full of coldness. Seeing this, Pang Shao and the others could not help but shrink their necks and dared not make a move. He had suffered too much at the hands of the Seventh Prince and feared him somewhat.
Seeing that Pang Shao dared not make a move, Ye Chu could not help but glare at him. Ye Chu’s figure moved. Everyone felt only a whistling wind pass by. Wherever it passed, slapping sounds cracked continuously. The sound stimulated Pang Shao. He saw that everyone had a slap mark on their faces.
Looking at those red and swollen cheeks, Pang Shao and the others stared dumbfounded at Ye Chu, who had returned to his original spot. Ye Chu’s speed was too fast. It was so fast that it startled them.
The Seventh Prince and the others covered their faces. Their faces were red and swollen as they stood there, also in disbelief. In just a few breaths, everyone had been slapped by Ye Chu.
The Seventh Prince knew Ye Chu was strong, but thinking that he had been slapped without even detecting it, a chill surged in his heart.
“How can he be so strong?” the Seventh Prince thought. Such strength meant he was at least at the Emperor Realm.
“Go! Slap them hard. If anyone dares to fight back, you should be happy about it,” Ye Chu said with a smile, looking at the Seventh Prince’s group.
These words made everyone’s expression change suddenly. The Seventh Prince glared at Ye Chu, covering his swollen face, and said, “I am a Prince. You dare to touch me. I will make you wish you were dead!”
“Hahaha, what is a Prince? If my Pang family wants to hit someone, we just hit them!” Pang Shao chuckled. The identity of a Prince was powerful to others, but it meant nothing to them. After all, the Royal Family would not intervene because of fights among the younger generation. If one’s skills were inferior, one could not blame anyone. It was just like in the past when he was bullied; his Pang family would not stand up for him either.
The Seventh Prince naturally did not expect to scare Pang Shao and his group. But he had never seen Ye Chu before. He thought that if Ye Chu were a commoner, his status would be a huge deterrent.
Ye Chu glanced at him, then looked at Pang Shao and smiled. “Beat him until his own mother does not recognise him!”
“Yes!” Pang Shao chuckled. Originally, he had not dared to use such heavy force. But since Ye Chu had spoken, it was fine. Even if something really happened, he could push his grandfather forward. Compared to himself, his grandfather valued Ye Chu more. His grandfather would help handle Ye Chu’s troubles, but he usually ignored Pang Shao’s troubles. Sometimes Pang Shao felt that Ye Chu was his grandfather’s true grandson.
“Hehe, who can your broken Prince status scare? The person standing in front of you is the guy who set fire to the Imperial Palace back then. Even if he were a commoner, he would not fear you!” Pang Shao chuckled and shouted to Huang Lin and the others, “Everyone attack! Beat them into pigs!”
A group of people pounced forward, their faces full of excitement. After fighting the Seventh Prince so many times, they had finally regained their dignity.
