Stripped of substance, denied even face?

On the sixth floor of the Divine Martial Hall, a group of people at the Blood-Qi Stage of Blue Star looked at each other in bewilderment.

Why is the Divine Martial Hall being cleared out of nowhere? Don't they have anywhere to stay?

Although they didn't quite understand what had just happened, they had roughly grasped the gist of it.

Chen Lie has an entangled relationship with the girl that the Outer Stars boy in front of him likes, which the boy naturally cannot tolerate, so he wants to retaliate.

But they haven't attended Starry Sky University, so how could they possibly have the opportunity to contact people from Outer Stars?

At this moment, the manager of the Divine Martial Hall returned and reported to Lu Jiang, "Young Master Jiang, I have checked the information. These people are all from Blue Star, a total of thirty-seven. As introduced by Instructor Lu, they are currently staying on the third floor of the Divine Martial Hall."

"I understand!" Lu Jiang waved his hand and said, "Go and call a squad of guards to clear these people out!"

"Yes!"

The steward obeyed the order and began calling for the guards.

Lu Jiang looked at Yang Guangyu and said, "Brother Guangyu, this is all I can do to help you!"

"Thank you very much, Brother Lu."

Yang Guangyu clasped his hands in a fist salute to Lu Jiang.

You're too kind!

Yang Guangyu glared sharply at Chen Lie and threatened, "Kid, I'll give you a chance. Honestly tell me how you deceived Ling'er, then cut off your own legs, crawl to Ling'er, kowtow, admit your mistakes, and confess that you're a complete liar, and I might let you go. Otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?"

"Hmph, you, a mere resident of a barren planet in a Fringe Star Domain, dare to challenge me on Canglong Star? I only need to use a few tricks to leave you with nowhere to turn."

Yang Guangyu said to a boy behind him, "Liu Hao, I remember your father is the director of the Wenlong City-State Security Bureau Canglong Continent."

"Yes, Brother Yu!" the boy replied.

"I suspect these people are illegal immigrants. I remember that the city-state guard can detain such people for 15 days on the spot?"

"As long as you say the word, Brother Yu, not only 15 days, but 150 days is no problem!"

Yang Guangyu nodded and looked at Chen Liedao, "Did you hear that, kid? If I wanted to deal with you people from the Fringe Star Domain, I wouldn't even need to involve my family. Just because we're classmates, I could make you regret it!"

Chen Lie narrowed his eyes. Now that he was unfamiliar with the place and the people, he really didn't know how to deal with the powerful figures of Canglong Star who were trying to intimidate him.

However, after cultivating the ' Eastern Heavenly Seven Mansions of the Consciousness Sea World two days ago, his spiritual power greatly increased, allowing him to attempt to use a secret technique to mentally control someone below the first level of a Divine Sense Master.

Given the current situation, the only option is to try to control Yang Guangyu's mind. Otherwise, if he is detained by the Canglong Star City-State Guard Bureau for a few days, he will miss the Permanent Council Star Contest.

By this time, a large crowd had gathered, and people began to discuss the matter.

"What's going on? Isn't that Yang Guangyu from the martial arts class at Tianyi Campus? Why is he making things difficult for others?"

"I don't know. I just got here. I only heard that Yang Guangyu was targeting people from the Fringe Star Domain?"

"People from the Fringe Star Domain? They're doomed! I know Yang Guangyu. His grandfather was the commander of the military region of Yang Guangyu Canglong Continent, his mother was an intercontinental councilor of the Cold Continent, and his father was the commander of the Interstellar Allied Forces."

Given this background, if they wanted to take down a group of people from the Fringe Star Domain, these people would be powerless to resist!

Zhang Yuqing, who was at the back of the crowd, had noticed the conflict early on. After learning the cause and effect, she wanted to step forward and try to mediate.

After all, Gu Yuanyun from Blue Star was also a classmate she had a good relationship with, and she happened to be able to talk to Lu Jiang, so it wouldn't be bad to do him a favor.

But when she heard the people around her discussing Yang Guangyu's background, she immediately stopped in her tracks. After weighing the pros and cons, she realized that she couldn't do this favor.

Seeing the resentful look on the boy named Yang Guangyu's face, she knew that she didn't have enough face. Even Lu Jiang, the nephew of the head of the Divine Martial Hall, might not have that kind of face.

Even if she had the ability to manage it, she wouldn't, because it would offend too many people.

At this moment, Xia Zhizhi, standing at the back of the crowd, couldn't help but accuse, "Hey, Chen Lie, how exactly did you offend the people of Canglong Star?"

"Why aren't you apologizing to them yet? If you cause Blue Star to miss out on the Permanent Council Star Contest, can you afford to take the blame?"

"Shut up!"

Chen Lie reprimanded Xia Zhizhi, and the aura of his Dragon Tendon Flood Dragon Bone erupted, instantly causing Xia Zhizhi's blood circulation to almost stop.

Xia Zhizhi's face paled, and she said firmly, "You've been flirting with other women in Outer Stars, making enemies and dragging us down with you, and you won't even let people talk about it?"

Han Keke, on the other side, reacted quickly, rushing forward and shoving Xia Zhizhi away. "Xia Zhizhi, are you deaf? Didn't you hear my brother tell you to shut up?"

If you dare to utter another word, I'll slap you across the face!

After this period of progress, Han Keke's strength has long surpassed that of Xia Zhizhi. Otherwise, Blue Star would not have chosen Han Keke to compete for the Permanent Council Star Contest, but instead made Xia Zhizhi a reserve candidate.

"Han Keke, are you crazy? Chen Lie caused such a huge mess, what's wrong with me saying a few words to him?" Xia Zhizhi said indignantly.

"You piece of trash, how dare you speak to my elder brother like that?"

My older brother easily handled this small situation!

Xia Zhizhi couldn't help but curse, "Idiot!"

At this moment, the manager of the Divine Martial Hall had already gathered a team of guards.

Lu Jiang approached Yang Guangyu and asked, "Brother Guangyu, the men are in place. Should we clear them out?"

"No rush, let me finish asking first!"

Yang Guangyu waved to Lu Jiang, then walked directly to Chen Lie and Chen Liedao, "Kid, you heard what I just said."

My patience is limited. I'll give you ten counts, then you'll cut off your own legs, one...

"I'll cut off your mother's!"

Chen Lie raised his hand and slapped Yang Guangyu away with a loud "bang".

Yang Guangyu tumbled more than a dozen times in the air before falling with a thud onto the distant arena.

Upon seeing this, the people around stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief.

"Damn, how can people in these Fringe Star Domain be so audacious? Don't they consider the consequences of their actions?"

"That's right. If we offend the local powerful figures of Canglong Star, how will we ever be able to get along on Canglong Star again?"

"This is more than just offending them; they've practically slapped me in the face! It's a fight to the death!"

Even Zhang Yuqing, who had been observing coldly from the back of the crowd, couldn't help but gasp. How could anyone on Blue Star in the Eastern Star Region be so reckless?

Originally, admitting defeat and backing down would have resolved most of the matter, but this slap has now brought some relief. If Canglong Star City-State Guard Bureau, wouldn't Blue Star lose its chance to become Permanent Councilor Star?

The moment Yang Guangyu was sent flying by Chen Lie, a group of students from the martial arts class of Tianyi Campus immediately surrounded him.

"Brother Guangyu (Brother Yu)!"

Yang Guangyu was helped up by the crowd, and said angrily, "You fucking want to die!"

"Brother Lu, borrow your guards to help me arrest this kid, and get rid of all his other accomplices!"

Lu Jiang nodded and said to the guards, "Aren't you going to make a move?"

"Yes!"

A group of guards rushed forward.

Everyone on Blue Star's expression darkened, and Xia Zhizhi blurted out, "We're doomed! This guy has killed us!"

Just as Chen Lie was using his Mental Power to try and control Yang Guangyu, a clear voice rang out.

"Stop!"

A strikingly beautiful girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old squeezed through the crowd from the back.

"Ling'er? What brings you here?"

Yang Guangyu, who was standing nearby, saw the girl who had suddenly appeared and, disregarding the redness and swelling on his face, stepped forward and asked her what was wrong.

The girl was Chu Ling'er. Upon seeing Yang Guangyu, her expression darkened. "How would I know you were offending my elder brother if I didn't come over?"

"Ling'er, you still say that kid is your elder brother? Uncle Chu, like my father, is a commander of the Interstellar Allied Forces. How could he possibly know someone from a Fringe Star Domain?"

You say she's your elder brother? That's impossible! I don't believe it!

Believe it or not, I don't want to waste my time explaining anything to you.

"Ling'er, I don't understand. What's there to talk about with someone from a barren Fringe Star Domain star system?"

Were you deceived by his sweet talk and fell in love with him?

Chu Ling'er blushed and said angrily, "Shut up. Do you think I'm someone who can be easily fooled?"

After saying this, Chu Ling'er ignored Yang Guangyu and went to Chen Lie.

"Brother Shi, I'm sorry, but this Yang Guangyu isn't a normal person. If he offended you, please don't take it to heart."

Chen Lie glanced at Chu Ling'er and abandoned his preparation to use Mental Power to control her mind.

"Just get him out of here and don't bother me!"

"Don't worry, Yang Guangyu offended you because of me. I won't let him bother you again," Chu Ling'er assured her.

"Ling'er, we've known each other for so many years, why are you siding with an outsider? I offended him, didn't you see how this brat had the audacity to suddenly attack me? Look at the mess he made on my face!" Yang Guangyu was filled with resentment.

"You asked for it. If you hadn't started the trouble first, I don't believe anyone would hit you for no reason!" Chu Ling'er said.

Yang Guangyu was furious beyond measure, especially after Chu Ling'er's sharp words, which dealt him a heavy blow.

He had such a long-standing friendship with Chu Ling'er, but he never expected that Chu Ling'er would actually protect this kid.

"Brother Lu, why aren't you ordering your guards to take action? Arrest this brat!"

Yang Guangyu stopped talking to Chu Ling'er and urged Lu Jiang to hurry up.

Upon seeing this, Lu Jiang immediately ordered his guards to take action, pointing at Chen Lie and his group and commanding, "Take them down!"

"Stop!"

Chu Ling'er stopped the group of guards and then asked Yang Guangyu, "Yang Guangyu, what do you want to do?"

"Ling'er, for no other reason than that this brat slapped me for no reason just now, I can't let him get away with it!"

You can hold me responsible for the slap you received.

Yang Guangyu merely sneered and remained silent.

"Since when have the guards of the Divine Martial Hall started meddling in the feuds between members?" Chu Ling'er stared coldly at the manager of the Divine Martial Hall who was leading the guards.

The manager said, "This is Young Master Jiang's decision; we can only comply."

"Lu Jiang?" Chu Ling'er frowned and looked at Lu Jiang next to Yang Guangyu.

Lu Jiang remained silent. He wasn't familiar with Chu Ling'er, and he had just agreed to help Yang Guangyu, so he naturally wouldn't change his mind.

At this moment, Chu Ling'er noticed that Lu Shengya had been standing to the side watching.

Upon seeing Lu Shengya, Chu Ling'er immediately cried out, "Sheng Ya, these guards from the Divine Martial Hall are trying to offend my brother!"

"Could you do me a favor and get all the guards from the Divine Martial Hall to leave?"

Lu Shengya stepped forward and smiled slightly, saying, "Since you've spoken up, Ling'er, of course I can't refuse to help. The Divine Martial Hall shouldn't interfere in conflicts between its members in the first place."

"Manager Cui, lead your men down there. Remember, do not obey any of Lu Jiang's orders again, and do not disrespect these friends!"

"Yes, Miss Sheng Ya!"

Upon hearing these words, the manager of the Divine Martial Hall immediately led his guards away.

Then, Lu Shengya looked at Lu Jiang and said calmly, "I remember my aunt once said that you shouldn't interfere in the affairs of the club. Who gave you this order?"

"Sister Sheng Ya, I..."

Lu Shengya interrupted him directly, "No need to explain to me, go explain to your aunt, go now!"

"Yes!"

Lu Jiang gave Yang Guangyu a helpless look, then left.

At this moment, the boy from before said, "Brother Yu, should I call my dad and ask the City Guard Bureau to arrest these people?"

"Fight! Fight now!" Yang Guangyu said.

Chen Lie stepped forward and said to Chu Ling'er, "He just said he wanted the Canglong Star City-State Guard Bureau to detain us. What do you think we should do about it?"

Chu Ling'er nodded. "Don't worry, brother. As long as I'm here, Yang Guangyu can't do anything to you within the territory of Canglong Star."

Don't even mention the Canglong Continent City-State Guard Bureau; even if he tells his grandfather to use the Canglong Continental Army, I'm not afraid. I can go to my grandfather, my father, and my aunt!

At this moment, Tian Qiuqiu, who had come with Chu Ling'er and was not particularly noticeable, cleared her throat and whispered, "She's really not afraid anymore. Ling'er's grandfather is the governor of the Cold Continent and the intercontinental governor, her father is the commander of the Interstellar Allied Forces, and her aunt is a tutor at Starry Sky University."

Tian Qiuqiu was very puzzled by Chu Ling'er's attitude. Was it really worth bringing up the whole family's connections for some random older brother?

"Ling'er, you..."

Yang Guangyu felt his heart bleeding. How could he not be filled with grief and indignation that his beloved girl had gone to such lengths for people from a barren planet?

Chu Ling'er said this to show Yang Guangyu her firm attitude. She knew that Yang Guangyu was not easy to deal with, so if she was not firm in her attitude, she didn't know how long the argument would go on.

"Yang Guangyu, I'm telling you this: if you're really determined to cause trouble, then get serious and go after your father and grandfather. Otherwise, don't bother with these weak and ineffective tactics!"

Yang Guangyu sighed. If he really went to his father or grandfather to ask for help with this, who would pay him any attention?

Seeing that Chu Ling'er was determined to protect Chen Lie, Yang Guangyu said, "Ling'er, I can give you face, but I can't let this slap go unpunished. I've lost so much face, isn't it too much to ask this kid to apologize to me?"

Chu Ling'er firmly refused. "You brought this upon yourself; my brother will never apologize to you!"

Lu Shengya found this rather strange. Yang Guangyu didn't seem like someone to be trifled with. Why was an apology such a problem?

She looked at Chen Lie and gave him a deep look.

Is this Chu Ling'er's cousin? Even if he were her biological brother, there's no need for him to be so protective.

Yang Guangyu had already backed down; he'd been slapped so hard his face was swollen like a toad's, he'd lost all face, and they wouldn't even give him a shred of dignity?

"Fine, I admit to what happened today, but kid, you just wait and see!"

Seeing how protective Chu Ling'er was of Chen Lie, Yang Guangyu knew he couldn't do anything about it, so he had no choice but to leave.

As soon as Yang Guangyu left, the people around him began to disperse.

"Brother, did Yang Guangyu offend you just now?"

After the onlookers left, Chu Ling'er approached Chen Lie and asked him a question.

"No!"

"That's good. It's all because of me. I will definitely warn Yang Guangyu and make sure he doesn't bother you again," Chu Ling'er said.

Lu Shengya approached Chu Ling'er and asked, "Ling'er, is this your elder brother?"

Chu Ling'er hummed in agreement.

"It seems you and your elder brother have a very good relationship."

"Brotherhood" is usually a relationship between fathers and sons, and this was the first time Lu Shengya had ever seen someone treat her brotherhood with such meticulous care.

This relationship must extend beyond just being brothers, right?
