Chapter 2185 - 1679: Minor Punishment, Major Warning!

The second update, asking for subscriptions and monthly tickets~~~~...

Hearing what the young man said, Xu Zizhen's expression also turned somewhat unpleasant... A faint glimmer of anger flashed in his eyes, and Qin Fang also noticed that his fists were discreetly clenched, but his temper was restrained.

Seeing this scene, Qin Fang just smiled and lightly patted Xu Zizhen's shoulder, saying,

"Young Master Xu, I wonder what this friend's name is? It seems he has quite an opinion about me, Qin... I really need to get to know him then!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the young people opposite showed slight changes in their expressions. Many of them looked at Qin Fang with amusement, their eyes filled with anticipation for a good show to unfold.

"Young Master Qin, he's called Xu Zixiao, he's my cousin, ranked sixth... um, my third uncle's son!"

Being interjected by Qin Fang like this, Xu Zizhen's anger gradually subsided. He looked at Qin Fang gratefully, then introduced him with a smile.

Although Xu Zizhen is ranked third among the younger generation, his father is the first in the second generation. Apart from his elder brother, who was reportedly taken away by a passing master at a very young age, and his younger sister Xu Jiao, all the other siblings are just cousins.

Like the young man named Xu Zixiao before him, who is also his cousin... And Xu Zixiao's father, Xu Zizhen's third uncle, is closer to the second uncle, Xu Shaofeng, so naturally, Xu Zixiao and Xu Zizhen's relationship isn't too good.

Especially since Xu Zizhen does not enjoy martial arts, and Xu Jiao has exceptional talent, Xu Zixiao somewhat feels frustrated, making their relationship tense at times. For instance, in the current situation, Xu Zixiao never misses a chance to strike at Xu Zizhen.

However, this time, Xu Zixiao didn't target Xu Zizhen but directed his remarks at Qin Fang, which surprised Xu Zizhen and also amused him...

Being family, they're naturally more aware of their own.

Even though Xu Zizhen doesn't practice martial arts, it doesn't mean he's ignorant of his peers' martial prowess in the family... Apart from his extraordinary sister Xu Jiao and his long-missing elder brother, Xu Zixiao's talent is quite decent, ranking within the top five among the younger generation.

But he's just in the top five, and for many years, he shouldn't expect to advance any further...

And among the younger generation, even a prodigy like Xu Jiao needs considerable time to surpass the second uncle Xu Shaofeng, let alone Xu Zixiao, who might not catch up with Xu Shaofeng even in ten or twenty years.

However, last night, as one of the eyewitnesses, Xu Zizhen witnessed Qin Fang playing tricks on Xu Shaofeng and chopping off Zhu Ming's limbs... Even though he couldn't see clearly, he understood well that Qin Fang's strength was definitely not inferior to the second uncle Xu Shaofeng's.

Moreover, the power of that elixir further proved that Qin Fang's strength and background were absolutely terrifying...

With such backing, if Xu Zixiao insists on clashing with Qin Fang, the outcome is predictable.

So, after Qin Fang proactively took the matter upon himself, Xu Zizhen felt much at ease, already waiting to see Xu Zixiao embarrass himself...

"Xu Zixiao, huh? Seems like I've heard you mentioned him, sounds quite formidable..."

Upon hearing Xu Zizhen's introduction, the smile on Qin Fang's face remained unchanged, but he seemed to remember something, muttering softly.

This murmur wasn't loud. In such a party setting, it was easily drowned out by other sounds. However, among those present, except for Xu Zizhen, all were young experts with significant cultivation, naturally, they heard it clearly.

Xu Zixiao thought Qin Fang was praising him, feeling somewhat complacent...

He didn't know what happened last night, but he vaguely received a warning from his father, cautioning him not to mess with Qin Fang easily, only mentioning Qin Fang's complex identity and background, and formidable strength, advising him to avoid confrontation...

But young people tend to be impulsive. If his father hadn't said anything, Xu Zixiao might not act this way, but his father's words made him feel more defiant upon meeting Qin Fang in person.

Moreover, since Qin Fang was brought over by Xu Zizhen, both new and old scores were settled, he began mocking Qin Fang with sarcasm...

No matter how defiant Xu Zixiao felt towards Qin Fang, hearing such compliments, he couldn't help but feel a little smug. His gaze towards Qin Fang slightly softened, at least not as hostile as before.

"Nice that you know your place..."

Xu Zixiao mumbled to himself.

But soon he felt like giving himself a big slap because Qin Fang continued to say the latter half to Xu Zizhen.

"Might barely be good enough to watch my door..."

Qin Fang finally said leisurely after a pause.

Pfft~~~

As a result, many of those present, who were sipping wine and watching the show, ended up spitting because of this sentence...

Arrogant, so arrogant!

Even if it was the first meeting, these young experts all felt that Qin Fang's attitude was excessively arrogant, as if he completely disregarded them...

Although Qin Fang was targeting Xu Zixiao, he made them feel as if what he said was meant for all of them.

Their relationship with Xu Zixiao was quite good, and their strength and cultivation were about the same, which made them both rivals and good friends... Originally, they just wanted to see Xu Zixiao teach Qin Fang a lesson, but unexpectedly, they themselves were humiliated.

Yet, when they were humiliated by Qin Fang, they had no proper opportunity to retaliate, so they all glared angrily at Qin Fang before looking toward Xu Zixiao... If they remained silent after being mocked by Qin Fang, they would despise Xu Zixiao.

"What did you say?"

Of course, Xu Zixiao couldn't just have no reaction, and immediately burst into anger, suppressing his fury as he roared.

Although he was already burning with rage, he wasn't so brainless as to do something stupid like slamming the table or smashing chairs at his grandfather's birthday banquet...

"Oh, quite a temper..."

Qin Fang, however, just grinned and nonchalantly said that.

"It's just a joke, no need to get so excited! Come, come, sit down and have a drink... calm down, calm down!"

Then, Qin Fang didn't idle; he actively approached Xu Zixiao, put his arm around Xu Zixiao's shoulder warmly, then said this kindly, and impulsively picked up a bottle of wine from the table beside him, directly handing it to Xu Zixiao.

Seeing this scene, the other young experts present all slightly frowned, vaguely feeling that something was wrong, but couldn't pinpoint what... However, they soon realized.

"Consider this bottle of wine a toast to you from me, Qin. But you have to give me face..."

Along with Qin Fang's smiling face and words, he directly shoved the entire bottle of wine into Xu Zixiao's face, forcefully pouring it into his mouth...

However, the peculiar thing was that Xu Zixiao, like a puppet, allowed Qin Fang to do as he wished, but he himself showed no intention of resisting...

No, it's not that he didn't want to fight back, it's just that... he couldn't!

Some young experts, having good eyesight, noticed the unusualness and immediately focused on the little details between Qin Fang and Xu Zixiao... Xu Zixiao seemed to be struggling hard, but Qin Fang's hand on his shoulder made him completely powerless to resist; except for holding his breath, turning his face purple, he didn't have any substantial resistance!

And when Qin Fang poured the entire bottle down, it covered all these details...

Whoever it was, being forced to drink that way, their face wouldn't look any better...

Gulp gulp~~~

At this moment, Xu Zixiao truly felt an urge to cry... He finally understood why his father specially reminded him.

This Qin Fang was far scarier than he imagined, for now, his body was restrained, not only was all his True Qi stagnant, even his Sword Intent was oddly suppressed, making him inferior to even an ordinary person...

Facing such a domineering forced drink, he had no power to resist, couldn't even clench his mouth tightly, and had no choice but to helplessly gulp down the entire bottle...

This was Polar Bear's famous vodka, almost as strong as Dragon Country's baijiu, and although Xu Zixiao always thought he had a good tolerance, he now felt a strange nausea.

Anyone who has drunk baijiu knows that drinking too fast can lead to quickly getting drunk... and also brings a stronger urge to vomit, just like Xu Zixiao felt at this moment.

Gag~~

Finally, as the bottle was about to be completely drained, Xu Zixiao could no longer suppress the urge to vomit, and Qin Fang let go of his hand very cooperatively, causing Xu Zixiao to burst out uncontrollably.

"Ah~~~"

An extremely unfortunate beauty sitting directly in front of Xu Zixiao, who had been watching the show, suddenly noticed Xu Zixiao's movement and instinctively tried to dodge... But it was too late, and she was splashed on half of her body.

The piercing scream was quite chilling... Almost half of the guests in the banquet hall couldn't help but look over, just in time to see the "enthusiastically interactive" moment between Xu Zixiao and the unfortunate beauty.

As for the instigator of the entire incident, Qin Fang had already distanced himself, chatting and laughing with Xu Zizhen, as if the incident had nothing to do with him at all...

Meanwhile, the young experts who had previously had good relations with Xu Zixiao no longer had the previous arrogance, each looking at Qin Fang, who was much younger than them, with eyes full of respect...

Earlier, they had a little competitive thought, but now... they couldn't wait to leave here quickly and hide in a safe place to be at ease! (To be continued.
