Terrifying Consequences

Since Zhang Hupan said he would teach these guys a lesson, Chen Jiaying naturally didn't hold back. While the Four Great Martial Arts Families were powerful, they weren't on the same level as Wudang!

The four great families were in a relationship where if one fell, the others would suffer. Seeing Chen Jiaying make such a statement, Lin Qiming realized the seriousness of the situation and quickly tried to smooth things over. On the other hand, he was also afraid that Chen Jiaying had spoken too definitively, as Wudang's affairs in the secular world had always been decided by Song Feng and the others.

"Brother Chen, please calm down. There's no need to escalate things so much. As the saying goes, one doesn't know someone until they fight! It's understandable that these youngsters don't recognize the seniors of Wudang!" However, Chen Jiaying seemed to completely disregard Lin Qiming, coldly staring at Wang Hong, who was already sweating profusely. Lin Qiming, as the head of a family, was undoubtedly far more noble than Chen Jiaying, who was merely from the Hao generation. Seeing Chen Jiaying show him no respect, he couldn't help but feel a bit angry. Relying on his relationship with Song Feng, he said with a hint of displeasure, "I think it would be best for Brother Chen to call Song Feng! Chen brother doesn't seem to be in charge of Wudang's affairs, does he!"

Chen Jiaying certainly wasn't in charge of Wudang's affairs, but who was standing before him? The highest leader of Wudang. Let alone the Wang family, even the entire martial arts world would have to obey if this Grand Ancestor gave the order. Unless they were prepared to no longer be Wudang disciples. As for Song Feng, if he heard his Grand Ancestor being criticized, he would likely be even harsher than himself, and it wouldn't just be a simple matter of suspending cooperation; it could very well lead to a full-scale blockade! Remember, just because Chen Jiaying accidentally alerted Zhang Hupan, Song Feng almost committed suicide to atone, and even pursued Chen Jiaying!

Since Zhang Hupan raised no objections and even showed a hint of approval in his eyes, Chen Jiaying naturally wouldn't retract his previous words! If it weren't for the deep friendship between several senior martial brothers and the Lin family, Chen Jiaying would have even considered halting all cooperation with the Lin family. After all, it was clear that Lin Weifeng of the Lin family was also one of the participants. If Chen Jiaying had known that Lin Weifeng was not only a participant but also the instigator and organizer, he would have undoubtedly proposed halting all cooperation with the Lin family without hesitation! As for the head of the Lin family, Chen Jiaying found it difficult to completely disregard him. Although he now had Zhang Hupan backing him, he still replied to Lin Qiming, "I don't think it's necessary. If Senior Martial Brother Song handles this, the result will be the same, perhaps even worse!"

The Wang family, after all, had hundreds of years of friendship with the Lin family. Seeing Wang Hong's pleading eyes, Lin Qiming, though finding the matter a bit strange, still didn't pay much attention to the ordinary young man standing silently to the side. He thought that at most, the young man had a higher seniority, and Chen Jiaying might be overreacting. He decided to call Song Feng himself, and with their relationship, this matter should be resolved. He then gave Chen Jiaying a displeased look, picked up his phone, and called Song Feng, explaining the entire situation. Song Feng found it very strange. The Wang family was not an ordinary martial arts family, and Chen Jiaying had always handled matters prudently. How could he have rashly made such a significant decision! Suddenly, Song Feng thought of Zhang Hupan in Hangzhou, and his heart immediately sank. "Could this old ancestor be there? Oh my god, that would be disastrous!"

So, Song Feng urgently asked on the phone, "Brother Lin, is that young man's name Zhang Hupan?"

Lin Qiming covered the phone's microphone and asked Lin Weifeng, who was trembling beside him. After confirming, he said to Song Feng on the phone, "Yes!"

Song Feng on the other end of the line was stunned. He hadn't expected it to be this old ancestor. My god, someone had actually insulted his Grand Ancestor to his face. This was unacceptable. Without the Grand Ancestor, how could he have today? Let alone the Wang family, if Zhang Hupan said to make a move on the entire martial arts world, Song Feng would definitely go and destroy it like a thug without a second thought! How did this kid Chen Jiaying handle things? Just letting the Wang family off so easily. However, since he had already said it, and the Grand Ancestor didn't object, it was best to let it go!

With that thought, Song Feng said the words that shocked Lin Qiming the most in his life: "Brother Lin, you don't need to say anything more. This matter is settled! Tonight, as long as that Senior Zhang doesn't object to anything, Chen Jiaying's decision is Wudang's decision! Oh, and make sure similar incidents don't happen again, otherwise, our friendship might end here!"

A naked threat. Even though they had been friends for many years, Lin Qiming still felt very angry hearing these words. However, Song Feng's threat also made him realize that he had definitely underestimated the unassuming young man in front of him. Wudang had always advocated for peace, but when had they ever been so overbearing and aggressive! Who was this young man that even Song Feng had to respectfully call him senior, and was willing to abandon their years of friendship without hesitation for him? It was even more ridiculous that it was for such a trivial matter! Even if Lin Qiming racked his brains, he would never have thought that Zhang Hupan in front of him was a disciple of Zhang Sanfeng, and could be considered the ancestor of Wudang. Who could tolerate someone insulting their ancestor!

What should he do now? Lin Qiming had never imagined that what he thought was a simple matter would escalate to this point. Seeing Zhao Liya, who was leaning beside Zhang Hupan with a shocked expression, he suddenly had an idea. After all, the Lin family and the Wang family had centuries of friendship, and he couldn't just abandon them! So, Lin Qiming secretly gave Zhao Liya a meaningful look. The intelligent Zhao Liya naturally understood the meaning of Lin Qiming's glance. She also knew that the Wang family was as important as the Zhao family. It was just that things had happened too quickly and too suddenly, and she hadn't had time to react. The person she had always thought of as a blockhead was actually learning martial arts from a Wudang Daoist priest, just as Zhang Hupan had said. And this Daoist priest was indeed a senior from Wudang, and judging from the situation just now, he was not ordinary! Lin Qiming's glance made Zhao Liya wake up from her dream. Looking at the man beside her, her eyes couldn't help but reveal a hint of timidity. After all, judging from what had just happened, Zhang Hupan's status was too high, and she didn't know if she could persuade him.

Although she also disliked Wang Hong, he was from the Four Great Martial Arts Families after all. Zhao Liya lowered her head, her pretty face slightly flushed, and tugged at Zhang Hupan's arm, stammering, "Zhang Hupan, let's just forget it. He didn't offend us too much!"

Since the beauty beside him had spoken, Zhang Hupan naturally had to give her face. He waved his hand and chuckled, "It's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! Jiaying, don't scare the younger generation! Let's just let this matter go! Everyone is here to attend Old Master Lin's birthday. Let's not spoil the atmosphere!"

Zhang Hupan's statement made Zhao Liya's heart feel as sweet as honey. A matter that even someone like Lin Qiming couldn't resolve was settled with just her simple words. This greatly satisfied the young girl's vanity!

Chen Jiaying, who was as shrewd as an old fox, naturally knew the power of a beautiful woman and understood that Zhao Liya was a very important person. He had already secretly decided that he must maintain a good relationship with the Zhao family in the future!
