As expected, a group of people arrived, storming towards Chu Tian's doorstep with imposing might.
*Bang...*
The courtyard gate was kicked open.
"Who the hell dares to start a fire in the Luo family's territory? Are you looking to die..."
The courtyard door was snapped in half and broken.
Chu Tian felt a surge of anger. While we might be in the wrong, your attitude suggests you want to kill us!
The next second, before the other party could finish speaking, their somber, river-deep expression instantly contorted into a smile far uglier than a cry.
"Uh... Master Ma, is that you! You go ahead."
With that, he turned and left.
Behind him, someone said, "Luo Yicheng, what are you doing? If you don't want your captain position, then give it to me!"
"What Master Ma, Master Donkey! Today, I'll be his grandfather!"
Seeing their captain, Luo Yicheng's cowardly demeanor, the others also showed expressions of disdain.
Luo Yicheng froze for a moment, then gave them a thumbs-up.
"Then you all go ahead! I'll be heading back to the disciplinary hall to accept my punishment."
Their conversation reached the ears of everyone within the courtyard.
Chu Tian's understanding was once again refreshed.
The others also gaped, looking at Ma Deju in astonishment.
Only Qi Shushu and Song Zijing showed little surprise, perhaps a hint of concern.
"Luo Yicheng..."
Just as the other party was about to leave, Ma Deju roared!
Luo Yicheng, standing outside the gate, shivered.
He turned back with difficulty and said, "Mas... Master Ma..."
*Splat...* Lin Yu, watching the spectacle at the barbecue grill, had just taken a drink from a water bottle.
The moment Luo Yicheng spoke, she sprayed it out!
Ma Deju was standing opposite her, his face turned to the side, looking at Luo Yicheng outside the door.
Lin Yu's spray landed squarely on his cheek!
She wasn't the only one who sprayed, nor the only one affected.
Song Zijing was the most injured, laughing so hard his abdominal muscles felt strained.
He clutched his stomach, leaning against the table, looking as if he were about to die. "Mama ya?"
"Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter!"
"Old Ma, when did you get a son?"
"And when did you go to Thailand? How come I didn't know?"
Qi Shushu, beside him, was also laughing uncontrollably and chimed in.
"Don't talk nonsense. Even if you went to Thailand, you'd have had it cut off!"
"Even if you had a replacement that could give birth, it would be useless!"
As he said this, a voice suddenly interrupted.
"Why?"
Everyone fell silent instantly.
The one who asked this was, surprisingly, the only female present.
Lin Yu blinked her curious eyes, her expression earnest, like a studious student bursting with a desire to learn, staring at Qi Shushu.
"Uh..." Qi Shushu blushed, stammering.
"Bec... bec... because male chromosomes are 46xy, and female chromosomes are 46xx. Even with surgery, the essence cannot be changed!"
"Moreover... moreover... with current technology, no artificial wombs exist, and live transplants are illegal!"
Qi Shushu actually began to explain.
"Oh... When I solve this problem in the future, I'll make you men give birth... Hmph!"
Lin Yu declared her grand ambition after listening.
She grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds and went to the side to eat.
The men present felt a chill down their spines.
Qi Shushu and Song Zijing watched Lin Yu sit down, completely bewildered.
What did she mean by that? The two were filled with question marks.
"My sister studies medicine!"
Seeing Qi Shushu and Song Zijing's confused faces, Lin Zhi explained to them.
"Oh...!"
Then it's better that her wish doesn't come true!
This was the unspoken sentiment of both.
The small interlude did not interrupt Ma Deju's situation.
Luo Yicheng, having been called back, was covered in cold sweat, wondering what this esteemed gentleman intended to do.
Furthermore, he saw that Ma Deju had been sprayed in the face with water because of his words.
His heart pounded. If this gentleman took his anger out on him...
Just as he thought this, Ma Deju wiped his face and said,
"I don't have any vegetables here. Go and get me some vegetables that can be grilled!"
Luo Yicheng was taken aback, quickly relieved, and agreed with a fawning smile, "Certainly, Master Ma, I'll go get them right away!"
Then he vanished in a flash.
Letting out a sigh of relief, Luo Yicheng ran, thinking, thankfully, I didn't offend this gentleman this time.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be like last time?
While sleeping in the middle of the night, someone stealthily carried him out of the small world.
After a brutal beating, he was stripped naked and hung on a streetlight in the secular world?
That would have been fine, after all, he could just hide in the small world and not come out.
No one outside recognized him, and the people here didn't know about this embarrassing incident!
However, what was even more frustrating was that those few women...
Actually...
Had smeared honey all over him.
And then piled bee carcasses on him!
Fortunately, those women were somewhat humane.
His particularly sensitive area received special treatment.
He didn't know where they found cling film, but they wrapped a layer around him.
Otherwise, he would truly have had to make a trip to Thailand for the rest of his life!
The enforcement team he abandoned looked at Luo Yicheng scurrying away with disdain.
Of course, a few of his close friends, after a moment's consideration, also withdrew from the team and chased after Luo Yicheng.
The one who had argued with Luo Yicheng was their副队长 (fù duìzhǎng - deputy captain), named Luo Yilong.
He had long coveted the captain's position. He never expected Luo Yilong to be afraid to enforce the law when facing these outsiders.
Perfect. He stepped forward, would claim merit upon returning, and then trample Luo Yicheng underfoot. Wouldn't the captain's position be within his grasp?
Luo Yilong schemed inwardly, looking at the departing figures with disdain.
He turned and stepped into Chu Tian's residence courtyard.
"Everyone get..."
Before he could finish speaking, Ma Deju waved his hand and pulled out a five-pointed star.
The others also stood up, a great battle was about to break out...
Just then, everyone felt their vision blur.
*Slap...*
A crisp sound.
Everyone blinked, thinking they had misread.
In the blink of an eye.
When they opened their eyes again, they saw Luo Yilong's dazed gaze.
And his face was visibly swelling.
"Sai?" He probably meant 'Who.'
But because his face was swollen, he could barely articulate.
He looked around, finding that the people in the courtyard hadn't moved.
Finally, he looked at the people beside him.
These people looked shocked and shook their heads.
"Sai ga... You zhong ni zai da wo yi xia shi..."
(Who are you? If you have the guts, hit me again.)
Everyone realized that he might have been speaking when he was hit, and before he finished, he received a slap.
He bit his tongue!
*Slap...*
Indeed, before he could finish speaking, there was another crisp sound.
This time, it happened even faster. Everyone was staring intently.
But they didn't even catch a afterimage.
This...
Everyone was stunned. Was there a hidden master lurking in the shadows?
