The man's tone was light and soft, yet it was laced with extreme coldness.
The commotion caused by this incident immediately drew everyone's attention, but no one dared to step forward, fearing they might get caught in the crossfire.
"Arrogant!"
Sun Qiang took a step forward upon hearing this, looking at the man before him and sneering, "You dare to hit my people right in front of me and demand I pay a price? Should I admire your courage or your ignorance?"
Although he didn't know how the man had made his move, he was certain he hadn't felt any fluctuation of true qi before.
Therefore, the person before him was definitely not a martial artist from the ancient world.
If that were the case, he had nothing to worry about.
In Sun Qiang's view, the reason he hadn't seen the man's movement clearly was simply because his attention had been entirely captivated by the woman.
With this realization, Sun Qiang felt he had nothing to fear. He didn't need to care about an ordinary person.
"I will return your words to you verbatim. If you do not pay the price for your actions today, you will not walk out of this restaurant alive."
As he spoke, Sun Qiang's gaze fell upon the woman beside him.
It was clear that she was the price he was referring to.
"Hahaha!"
Upon hearing this, the man burst into laughter, "Then let me see how you plan to make me pay!"
"Hmph!"
Sun Qiang scoffed, "While it's beneath my status to lay hands on ordinary people like you, I'll give you a free lesson to let you know there are always people better than you, and skies beyond the skies."
"Before that, young man, take off your mask and glasses. I want to see who you are?"
Sun Qiang crossed his arms, looking at the man with a mocking expression.
The others were also very curious. The man's attire definitely held a secret.
"Alright! As you wish!" The man did not refuse.
"Our identities are exposed, will this escalate things?" the woman beside him whispered.
"Don't worry! I have it under control!"
The man was clearly prepared.
Then, he looked at Sun Qiang and smirked, "I hope you still have the courage to attack me after you recognize me."
"Fine! I want to see who this important figure is," Sun Qiang said with a sneer.
Under everyone's gaze, the man took off his sunglasses, revealing a pair of eyes as deep as the stars.
Just those eyes alone made Sun Qiang instinctively shiver.
Then, as the man removed his mask, a face beautiful enough to captivate thousands of girls appeared before them.
"Doesn't he look a bit familiar?" Seeing the man's face, Sun Qiang felt a sense of déjà vu.
But before he could react, a girl in the crowd of onlookers shrieked.
"Ye... Teacher Ye! He's Teacher Ye!"
Teacher Ye!
The girl's cry instantly made everyone react.
"Holy crap, it's really Teacher Ye!"
"Why is he here?"
"Right, since he's Teacher Ye, then the person next to him..."
"The person next to him must be Goddess Qianxun!"
"That's right! It must be."
"Goddess Qianxun, please take off your disguise."
"Goddess! Goddess!"
...
Amidst a chorus of cheers, Nangong Qianyu could only remove her sunglasses and mask, revealing her peerlessly beautiful face.
"Hello everyone!" Nangong Qianyu waved to the crowd.
"Wow! This is my first time seeing a goddess in person!"
"Beautiful! She's truly beautiful!"
"Look, the goddess and Teacher Ye look so perfect together."
"Yes! I feel the same way!"
...
Sun Qiang, who had provoked Ye Ming, suddenly looked crestfallen.
He never expected that the woman he had casually taken a liking to would be Qianxun, the world's only goddess streamer with a hundred million followers.
"Damn it!" Sun Qiang felt a dark cloud descending upon him.
"Wait!"
At this moment, Sun Qiang's eyes widened, and a thought that made his blood boil suddenly took root.
"If I defeat Ye Ming in front of everyone, then..."
Thinking about this, Sun Qiang's body began to tremble.
This was excitement!
That's right!
If he defeated Ye Ming, could he then seize Ye Ming's online status and become the much-talked-about "Teacher Sun"?
Not only that, but would the goddess Qianxun, admired by countless people, also become his woman?
"This..."
At this point, Sun Qiang had already envisioned a life where he replaced Ye Ming, a life filled with admiration and glory.
Unconsciously, the corners of his mouth had already turned up, revealing a standard lecherous grin.
"Uh! What is he thinking about?"
"Holy crap, he's drooling!"
"Ugh! That's disgusting!"
...
The murmurs of the crowd pulled Sun Qiang out of his pleasant fantasy.
He also noticed the contemptuous glances from everyone around him.
"Cough!"
Seeing this, Sun Qiang felt a bit embarrassed. But the thought of a beautiful future awaiting him instantly swept away this embarrassment.
"So it's the famous Teacher Ye, a pleasure to meet you! A pleasure to meet you!" Sun Qiang first greeted him with a smile, then his tone turned serious, "But even you, Teacher Ye, cannot casually injure people, can you!"
Facing Ye Ming, Sun Qiang was full of confidence.
Just as he had assessed before, he couldn't feel any flow of true qi from Ye Ming.
Therefore, as a martial artist from the ancient world, he was confident he could easily crush him and take his place.
"You don't need to say any more nonsense, just make your move!" Ye Ming had no need to waste time with him.
If it weren't for the fact that he could use Sun Qiang's hand to achieve a certain goal, why would Ye Ming bother with him?
He could simply knock him away!
"Good! I've been waiting for you to say that!" Sun Qiang was ecstatic.
"Then today, as a martial artist from the ancient world, I respectfully seek guidance from Teacher Ye!"
With that, Sun Qiang stomped his feet and charged towards Ye Ming.
At this moment, true qi began to gather in his palm. He then transformed his palm into a claw, exuding immense power. Wherever he passed, a forceful claw mark was left in the air.
With this strike, he intended to cripple Ye Ming in front of everyone.
The onlookers, seeing Sun Qiang's fierce attack, instinctively held their breath for Ye Ming.
But as Sun Qiang's attack reached Ye Ming, he saw no movement from the latter.
"Hahaha, you're not scared stiff, are you!" Sun Qiang laughed heartily.
But before his joy could last, a palm began to enlarge before his eyes.
*Slap!*
A flash of white light appeared, Sun Qiang's head tilted to the side, and his entire body was sent flying diagonally.
Only a crisp slapping sound echoed in the air.
