Outside the venue.
Chen Changsheng and Bai Ze met again. The moment man and dog came face-to-face, they were at each other's throats.
"You Stupid Dog, you actually dared to scheme against me. Are you asking for a beating?"

"To tell you the truth, I come from a prestigious family. I am not the Loose Cultivator you imagine me to be."
"You are stronger than me now
