Chapter 51: Protection

Hearing this familiar voice, I blinked in surprise and at the same time became worried. You see, the reason why this voice sounded so familiar was because I had just parted with him not long ago. This voice belonged to Ge Quan!

I was surprised that he was here. Didn’t he give me the invitation? What worried me was that all the old monsters here were not easy to deal with. Master Ge Quan was just a person who came to get information. Was it not dangerous for him to come here to support me?

But no matter how surprised or worried I was, I was still deeply moved. My eyes were still burning. My master’s friend is of course my elder. No matter how powerful or weak he is, the meaning of this care is the same.

The whole audience was silent, and all eyes were on the entrance. Soon after the speech, an elderly man in a well-ironed Zhongshan suit walked in from the entrance. He looked even more vigorous and spirited. Who could this be if not Ge Quan?

He had a determined look on his face, looked at me with a slightly loving gaze, then swept over my friends, and suddenly said loudly, “Chengyi, I came to support you, and I wore the most expensive and memorable clothes.”

I immediately laughed, and the audience also laughed. There was no need to say anything else. As long as he came, it meant that our Li family was not alone.

But the truth is not so simple. After Ge Quan came out, a number of people came out of the entrance one after another. I found that I didn’t know any of them, but they looked at me with “hot” eyes.

There were about thirty of them, and many of them were elderly. Even if they were standing there in a low-key manner, judging from the faint aura around them, many of them were masters with considerable skills.

I looked at this group of people in surprise, but that wasn’t the end. More people came out of the entrance, one group, two groups… a total of five groups. Among them, I also discovered the presence of Yuan Yi’s brother. He winked at me and smiled at Yuan Yi affectionately.

What the hell is going on? I was stunned.

Next to me, whether it was Chengqing, Chengxin, Chengzhen, or Chengyuan, they all exclaimed the names of one or two elders.

In the end, the entrance was quiet, but there were more than a hundred people coming out. For our generation, most of them were strangers, and we could feel the power of these people.

The old man in the yellow robe frowned and snorted in disdain, “What kind of ragtag group is this?”

Yan Yi, however, remained calm and said in a light tone, “No matter who you are, you are no match for any of the four major powers. Scatter, you are just a laughing stock. Is this what you call the protection of your elders?”

As for us, we don’t care what the old man in the yellow robe or Yan Yi say. We just look at the group of people under the ring, with red eyes!

But we were calm, but that doesn’t mean the people standing below were calm. In the face of the words of the old man in the yellow robe and Yan Yi, Ge Quan stood up and bowed to the crowd below, saying, “I’m the one who contacted everyone, so today I’ll go up and say a few words on behalf of everyone, okay?”

Ge Quan’s proposal was approved by everyone, and Ge Quan also took the stage without hesitation. Facing the senior members of the four major forces, he first pulled us young people behind him, and then said to the senior members of the four major forces without fear: “We are indeed a group of rabble, because before this, we were all lazy people, and we didn’t have much contact with each other. But today, we are not a group of rabble, only because we all have an identity, that of their elders, and naturally we want to protect them.”

The old man in the yellow robe snorted, and the fat Taoist in the gorgeous Taoist robe sneered: “Elders? The Li clan is not weak, and you have a big mouth, so you climb up to be someone’s elders? The Xue Shan clan said they would protect Chen Chengyi, but they didn’t say they would protect you bunch of riffraff! The Xue Shan clan is strong and tolerable, but what are you? You can also challenge the four major forces? Hurry up and disperse, I just happen to have no place to vent my anger, so don’t provoke me.”

Faced with the threats of the fat Taoist in his gorgeous robe, I was worried about Ge Quan and couldn’t help but call him a senior. But Ge Quan raised his hand to stop me. He said to the fat Taoist without flinching: “I don’t know about you, but what I care about is not whether Chen Chengyi is from the Li family, no matter how powerful he is! It’s that he’s my old friend, and he saved my life. His old friend has disappeared, so naturally I have to protect his descendants. That’s what qualifies me!”

Ge Quan’s words were resounding, and I couldn’t help but think of my master from my master’s friend. Isn’t this also his ‘property’ left to me? Isn’t he also protecting me?

This made my already somewhat heated eyes even more watery, and the elders in the audience began to speak up one after another.

“Chengxin is a disciple of Liren. I have known Liren for a long time and have received countless favors from him. I will protect Chengxin as if he were my own son or disciple. Who would dare to harm him?”

“Li Hou spared no expense to save me from disaster, so Cheng Qing is my son. How could I not protect my son?”

“Cheng Zhen…”

“Chengyuan…”

The elders’ words were constantly ringing in our ears, and we in the Li family on the stage could not help but burst into tears. Tao Bai and Lu Shan looked at us with envy, and Xiao Chengqian was the same, but there was a hint of sadness in his eyes that was not noticeable. He seemed to want to cry, but looked at the ceiling and forced himself to hold back.

Hearing these statements, Ge smiled broadly and said to the four people led by the old man in the yellow robe, “Is this elder really justified?”

“Haha…” The fat Taoist in the yellow robe sneered, and the next moment he made a hand gesture, and suddenly the entire arena was filled with a howling wind, mixed with the screams of countless vengeful ghosts.

“I don’t care what kind of elders you are, just feed the ghosts to me.” As the wind rose, the fat Taoist roared, and when he suddenly attacked the three people led by the yellow-robed Taoist, they all looked at our elders with a mocking expression on their faces. In particular, the yellow-robed old man said with a straight back and chest when he saw them: “It’s enough for Huang Liu to kill you bunch of rabble.”

I could feel the power of the evil wind, and even my soul was frozen. The sound of the ghostly howls alone made me feel a sense of fear, and I couldn’t help but think of a kind of existence—a thousand-year-old ghost, or a thousand-year-old ghost that is still being cultivated, that has such power!

I am sure that as soon as this fat Taoist makes a move, I will be swallowed up by an unknown number of thousand-year-old ghosts hidden in the wind, and my soul will be frozen and blown away by the wind.

These old men are indeed not comparable to the younger generation. I am not worried about myself, but I can’t help worrying about Ge Quan. I don’t think he has much fighting power.

The audience was also discussing it, and knowledgeable people couldn’t help but exclaim, “He’s made his move! The four major powers and sixteen major figures, Huang Liu’s gate to hell has opened. It was once said that once this little gate to hell opened, it would not stop until 80 or 100 people died.”

Hearing these comments, I was even more worried about Ge Quan, but Ge Quan’s neck hardened, and he pointed behind him with his hand, saying loudly without fear: “Huang Liu, you can easily kill me, and if you have the ability, you can also kill all the people who want to protect the old Li clan. I don’t think you can make a clear distinction!”

Ge Quan’s words obviously annoyed the fat Taoist named Huang Liu. He snorted and the next moment his expression became uncertain because those in the audience also burst forth with a towering momentum in an instant, and more than a dozen excited people had already rushed onto the arena.

“Old Huang Liu, the four major powers are so powerful, and my X-pulse is also a famous and righteous sect in this world, and I have a great reputation among ordinary people. Are you going to kill me?”

“Old Huang Liu, although I am a lone wolf, I have two hands of skill under my command. How can you insult me so lightly?”

“Huang Liu Lao Er…” Seeing Huang Liu Lao Er committing a crime at this moment, all the elders could not help but feel indignant. Seeing that everyone’s anger had reached a climax, Ge Quan could not help but take another step forward and said, “Do you think we are really a rabble? Please take a good look. Many of these people have powerful connections behind them. Even if they don’t, they are all well-known. Even if I, Ge Lao, am not very capable and have been selling information for many years, I can still call out a dozen or so people who are not afraid of trouble if I ask for help. Do you really dare to look down on us today?

“Good!” I couldn’t help but yell out. At this moment, I didn’t even have time to wipe away the tears on my face. The only two words that rolled in my heart were “Master,” and the only sentence that kept repeating in my mind was “This is the blessing from the masters. They have gone and disappeared, but they have never gone far.”

In a trance, I seemed to see four tall figures standing at the top of the bleachers. They were my master and uncles. My master still had that wretched expression, his hands on his back, disdainfully “laughing” at me: “Little brat, you’re crying again (tears). You’re my disciple, Jiang Lichun. Don’t expect me to pull you up. When you’ve cried enough, stand up and come find me again!”

Master… In fact, you didn’t pull me, but all along, you were more worried than anyone else that I would fall and hurt myself, right?

Seeing this, Huang Liu finally stopped the hand gestures he was performing, and everything returned to normal. His face was uncertain, and he didn’t know what he was thinking.

However, Yan Yi slowly walked over and asked with a raised eyebrow, “Of all the others, Chen Chengyi is the one who must be protected, right?”

Before Ge Quan could answer, Yan Yi suddenly reached out with one hand and grabbed me with incredible speed, shouting, “What are you still doing? Kill Chen Chengyi!”
