Chapter 132: They Are Still Just Children

Cai Yueyao immediately ordered a basin of cold water, intending to douse him with it.

Mo Chong suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Miss Cai, I suggest you don't bring trouble upon yourself."

"You may be a good fighter, but can your family withstand the retaliation of the Mo family?"

"A martial arts family is not something you common merchants can contend with!"

Splash!

Cai Yueyao decisively poured the basin of cold water over him anyway. "I’m splashing you with some cool water to help you wake up!"

"Not to mention anything else, in this patch of Li City, when has it ever been anyone else's turn to threaten me, Cai Yueyao?"

"You aren't leaving, and neither is your brother, until you cough up those 600 million."

The young master of a dignified martial arts family had never been threatened like this by a pretty girl; he couldn't take it.

Mo Chong addressed his followers, "You all go back first and ask the elders of the family to resolve this."

Calling the elders might result in a reprimand, and losing face was one thing, but he absolutely refused to give away the money for nothing.

Cai Yueyao let out a scornful laugh.

"Do you think this is a playground fight where you call your parents when you lose?"

"What a giant baby of a martial arts family!"

Mo Chong simply dropped his facade and resorted to shamelessness, grinning wickedly, "Say whatever you want. As for getting money out of me—forget it!"

"Fine. I'm going to grab a bite to eat. When I come back, I’ll take care of your elders too."

With that, Cai Yueyao waved at Wan Quan. "You there, come over and keep an eye on him."

Wan Quan had been wondering: this beautiful woman was not only a capable fighter but also carried the attitude of "I run this city." Should he listen to her?

"Brother Lu, who is this girl?"

Lu Ye replied, "She’s my ex-girlfriend, the boss of Li City. Just do as she says."

"Got it."

Half an hour passed, and the Ren and Du meridians in Wan Quan's body closed up again.

Now, he couldn't even beat Mo Chong, let alone the higher-ranked Mo Dong. However, since both Mo Chong and Mo Dong were severely injured and had no one to treat them, having Wan Quan watch them would likely be sufficient.

Consequently, Lu Ye invited Mr. and Mrs. Tan Songming and Cai Yueyao to a nearby restaurant to find something to eat.

Tan Songming and Tang Xin remained anxious. They hadn't expected this situation to escalate to the point of involving the elders of the Mo family. This dispute would likely become even harder to resolve in the future. What should have been two joyous occasions had now left them with no appetite for a meal.

Seeing their worried expressions, Lu Ye said, "Uncle Tan, Aunt Tang, don't frown so much. How far along is the baby?"

Tan Songming managed a forced smile and replied, "Two months."

Lu Ye nodded, borrowed paper and a pen from the waiter, wrote down a traditional herbal prescription, and handed it to Tan Songming. "This formula was passed down by my mother. It will not only nourish Aunt Tang's body but also benefit the baby."

Tan Songming and Tang Xin nodded repeatedly in gratitude. "Thank you, Mr. Lu."

Lu Ye smiled and consoled them, "You don't need to worry about the Mo family anymore. Isn't Miss Cai here to handle it?"

"We will definitely settle this for you before we leave. Don't worry."

***

"Alright, alright!"

Since it was clear that Cai Yueyao would take the lead, Tan Songming felt much more at ease. Losing money was a small matter; the real fear was getting entangled with a martial arts family.

After the meal, on their way back, they ran into Cai Yueyao's assistant, who was running toward them in a panic.

"Miss, there's trouble."

"The young master of the Wan family was beaten by people from the Mo family, and they are trying to take Mo Chong and Mo Dong away by force!"

Cai Yueyao and Lu Ye exchanged a glance and spoke in unison: "Let's go!"

The restaurant wasn't far from the office building, so they quickened their pace. They arrived just in time to see several middle-aged men carrying Mo Chong and Mo Dong out. Wan Quan and Shen He were both lying on the ground, and it was unclear how badly they were hurt.

Cai Yueyao snorted coldly, "Stop right there!"

"I said, Mo Chong hasn't paid up yet. Neither of these two brothers is going anywhere."

The leading middle-aged man sneered, "Are you that little girl from the Cai family? Do you know who I am to be acting so arrogant?"

Gan Fu chimed in from the side, "This is the younger brother of the Mo family head, the sixth-rank master, Mo Min!"

Bang!

Cai Yueyao threw a punch directly at him.

"Ouch!"

Mo Min immediately doubled over, clutching his stomach in pain.

Cai Yueyao laughed. "That's it? A sixth-rank master?"

"You bitch, you ambushed me!"

"A sixth-rank master like you can be ambushed by a 'weak girl' like me?"

Having no rank meant having no status, not even reaching the first rank. Therefore, Cai Yueyao calling herself a "weak girl" was technically accurate!

"Arghhh!"

Mo Min flew into a rage and kicked out at Cai Yueyao.

Slap!

At that moment, Lu Ye suddenly flashed forward. Using a technique to deflect a thousand pounds with four ounces, he nonchalantly redirected Mo Min's "Vajra Kick" toward Gan Fu, who was standing nearby.

"Ouch!"

Poor Gan Fu. Caught completely off guard, he was sent flying over ten meters away by the full force of Mo Min's kick.

*Thud!* He landed perfectly head-first into a street trash can, his legs sticking out.

Mo Min was secretly shocked. He glared at Lu Ye and shouted, "And who are you?"

Su Qianqian stepped behind Lu Ye and, mimicking Gan Fu's tone from earlier, boasted, "Listen well!"

"Standing before you is the Head of the Security Department at Yiren Group, the Vice Chairperson of the Su Group, the son-in-law of the Su family, Su Qianqian's husband, Cai Yueyao's ex-boyfriend, and the unranked master, Lu Ye!"

Mo Min was confused. "An unranked master?"

***

Lu Ye cupped his hands with a cheeky grin. "That is me, at your service!"

Although the rank title sounded mysterious and Mo Min didn't understand it, Lu Ye's display of "deflecting a thousand pounds with four ounces" had truly rattled him. This pretty boy was not to be underestimated!

Suppressing his displeasure, Mo Min asked suspiciously, "Unranked master, what do you want?"

Lu Ye replied, "It's not about what I want, but that your young master lost the tournament and owes my Uncle Tan ten times the payment for the goods. This is something he promised himself."

Mo Min sneered, "They are still children; these wagers cannot be taken seriously."

They were grown men pushing thirty, and you're calling them children? What a giant baby!

Lu Ye narrowed his eyes slightly and asked coldly, "So you're saying he's just a child and can't make his own decisions, right?"

Mo Min nodded with a shameless expression. "That's right. The Mo family will not acknowledge the outcome of this tournament."

Lu Ye nodded. "Fine. Then take them both away."

Mo Min was stunned. "Just like that?"

Lu Ye laughed. "You said they were just children. What is there for me to argue about with two mentally deficient people?"

The mocking tone made Mo Min extremely unhappy. However, it was not the time to create further complications; the priority was to get Mo Chong and Mo Dong out of there. He had no time to teach Lu Ye's group a lesson.

Mo Min snorted and signaled for his followers to carry the brothers to the car.

Cai Yueyao and Su Qianqian glared at Lu Ye with extreme dissatisfaction.

"You little jerk, why did you back down?"

"Why did you let him take them so easily? What about the payment for Uncle Tan?"

They were both disappointed and felt they had lost face. Both girls pouted, looking very unhappy!

Lu Ye quickly comforted them. "Don't get excited yet. Didn't you hear what Mo Min said?"

"With such a large sum of money, that idiot Mo Chong definitely can't make the call. If we want to get the money back, we have to go to someone in the Mo family who can actually make decisions, right?"

Cai Yueyao was taken aback. "So, you're going to go and cause trouble for the head of the Mo family?"

Lu Ye shook his head. "Not me—he will!"

Lu Ye pointed at Wan Quan, who was lying on the ground like a salted fish.

*Thump, thump, thump...*

After a flurry of "healing" punches, Wan Quan was completely cured.

As soon as Wan Quan opened his eyes, he met Lu Ye's smiling gaze. "Young Master Wan, do you want the Wan family to wash away their disgrace and return to the ranks of the martial arts families?"

Wan Quan scrambled up and nodded repeatedly. "Yes, of course I do!"

Lu Ye nodded and smiled. "There is an opportunity right now."

Wan Quan asked expectantly, "Brother Lu, what do I need to do?"

"Go to the Mo family’s estate, challenge them, and grind their family head into the dirt."
