Rebirth of the Peak Young Master-Chapter 437 - 436: Making Suggestions

Given their status, did they really need to cater to a mere squad leader?

Even if they weren’t sent to monitor Yang Tian on behalf of Red Wolf and Lu Luan, just glancing at him twice felt like a waste.

Soon, people surrounded Red Wolf and Lan Luan, the two prominent yet elusive figures in the circle, and began curiously inquiring about their accomplishments.

Red Wolf and Lu Luan were naturally prepared for this kind of situation, and they answered with grace.

It wasn’t clear how much time had passed when Qi Hanshi suddenly suggested, "Since Ling Yanjie and Brother Yu rarely visit Yanjing, we should celebrate properly. How about we head to the Emperor Club?"

"Uh..."

Red Wolf hesitated for a moment, glancing at Yang Da. Due to the mysterious nature of Yang Da’s status and the fact that it had been ages since he last saw these childhood friends, Red Wolf decided to leave the decision to him.

Would you really want to head to the Imperial Palace now?

This was Yang Daban’s social event, and if he abandoned it halfway, could his task still be considered complete? And would his father, Chen Wenbin, forgive him?

Of course, at that very moment, he wasn’t aware that Qing Da had already given all instructions to Yang Da in full detail.

As for Qing Da, she initially rejected the idea, but Cao Lingrui tugged at her arm and said, "Sister, you rarely come back. Let’s go together!"

"Uh..."

Lu Luan glanced at his sister and said, "We need to ask... our supervisor!"

Supervisor?

Hearing Lu Luan’s words brought everyone back to the realization that Yang Da was indeed their supervisor.

Previously, they had ignored Yang Da entirely, but now that Qi Hanshi suggested going to the Emperor Club, they realized they would need his approval.

Yet seeing how deferential Red Wolf and Lu Luan were being, people couldn’t help but feel puzzled. How could a mere squad leader command such respect from Red Wolf and Lu Luan?

"I don’t care what sort of big shot you claim to be, but I’m telling you—stay away from Cao Lingyan, or you’ll regret it!"

Shing!

The tall man’s words had barely left his mouth when the atmosphere in the private room grew tense. All the nominally carefree youths suddenly fell silent and stared in unison.

Clearly, their expressions revealed sarcasm mixed with pity as their gazes fell on Yang Da.

For they all knew that the tall man speaking to Yang Da was Qi Xuan.

Qi Xuan was a scion of a wealthy family, the elder brother of Qi Hanshi, and, more importantly, Cao Lingrui’s current boyfriend.

When they had played together as children, everyone knew that the Cao Family and the Qi Family had been long-standing allies. Qi Xuan, in particular, had always had a thing for Cao Lingyan since they were young.

Back then, however, they had all been too young, and Qi Xuan had been rebellious and brash, never openly expressing his feelings.

Later, after Lu Luan joined the larger group, the opportunity for them to meet never arose again.

Nobody could have expected that now, with Qing Luan finally returning to Yanjing, Qi Xuan’s first encounter with her would be marred by the presence of Yang Da by her side!

While it was true that Lu Luan and Red Wolf had their reasons for considering Yang Da their superior and supervisor, the first thing people noticed was how Yang Da and Qing Luan—two individuals of opposite genders—had been dining alone in a private room. Even if Yang Tian and Qing Luan had nothing going on, it was enough to make Qi Xuan furious.

So at this moment, neither Lu Luan nor Red Wolf attempted to intervene. Naturally, the others couldn’t resist adding fuel to the fire.

Of course, to Qi Xuan’s delight, the rest of the group appeared more than happy to see this chaos unfold. Even though the stakes weren’t high, they gave Qi Xuan an approving nod, relishing the drama as though they had been waiting for this very moment.

Qi Xuan smirked in response.

In his eyes, Yang Da was nothing more than a small-time squad leader, someone who wasn’t worth mentioning in the grand scheme of Yanjing’s hierarchy. As someone raised in a prominent family, Qi Xuan naturally believed he could toy with whoever he pleased.

Without missing a beat, Qi Xuan added, "Boy, did you hear me clearly? Let me spell it out for you—leave, right now. The reasons don’t matter, and of course, you’re free to refuse. But mark my words, if you stay, things won’t end well for you. When I say you’ll regret it, I mean it!"

Wearing a self-satisfied grin, Qi Xuan lowered his eyes to look at Yang Tian, clearly expecting the man to slink away in shame after being rebuked.

Half a minute passed. Yet, Yang Tian showed no intention of moving. He continued to sip his red wine slowly, as if Qi Xuan’s words hadn’t registered at all.

The onlookers exchanged glances, their excitement growing.

Could this be an invitation to more trouble? Or was Yang Tian courting his own doom?

An unremarkable squad leader showing defiance—what exhilarating drama this was!

Soon enough, someone chimed in:

"Qi Xuan, maybe don’t push too hard. This guy’s not budging."

"Yeah, it doesn’t look like he’s paying you any mind."

"Seems like the guy has a death wish. Qi Xuan, just teach him a lesson!"

Hearing their taunts, Qi Xuan’s expression darkened further. He sneered coldly, "Oh? Are you forcing me, Young Master Qi, to take action here? Fine! So be it. Let me remind everyone why roses bloom red!"

With those words, Qi Xuan grabbed a beer bottle and swung it directly at Yang Tian’s head.

Crash!

Moments later, the beer bottle shattered upon impact, glass shards scattering across the floor.

But as the room settled, everyone froze in disbelief.

Because while the bottle certainly broke, Yang Tian remained seated, unmoved.

Qi Xuan, on the other hand, was now clutching his bleeding hand, writhing on the floor, screaming, "My hand! My hand!"

The sudden commotion naturally drew the attention of Red Wolf, Lu Luan, and several others outside, who immediately rushed into the private room.

Making a beeline toward Yang Tian, Red Wolf and Lu Luan anxiously asked, "Mr. Yang, are you... are you all right?"

Their concern for Yang Tian, completely ignoring Qi Xuan’s injuries, almost made Qi Xuan’s nose flare in anger. Yet the pain from his bleeding hand rendered him unable to argue.

The noises that followed soon drew everyone’s attention to Qi Xuan’s injury.

Qi Hanshi exclaimed, "Brother! Brother, what happened?"

Qi Xuan, biting through the pain, snarled, "That... that damned rascal!"

Struggling to contain himself, he pointed at Yang Da and growled, "I simply offered a toast to that little beast. Not only did he reject my gesture, but he also mocked me and attacked me directly! I... I didn’t even want to argue with him... and then he did this!"

"Exactly! That guy has gone too far!"

"Right! Qi Xuan made a polite offer of goodwill, and he had the audacity to respond with violence? Unacceptable!"

"Yes! It’s outrageous. Look, the shattered beer bottle is proof that he attacked Qi Xuan!"

Nearly everyone in the private room began echoing these sentiments in unison.

Yet could Yang Da really just leave this room unscathed?

Hearing Qi Xuan’s words, Red Wolf and Lan Luan exchanged glances before falling silent. When they turned their eyes toward Qi Xuan, it seemed as if they were staring at a fool.

Who was Yang Da?

A figure of mythical proportions!

The number-one person in the world!

Not to mention this little private room or Yanjing itself—even in places like Japan, Russia, and the Vatican, Yang Da walked freely without fear. He had shattered three elite battalions in Japan, obliterated ten Holy Knights in the Vatican, three branches of the Alliance Army, and three Great Lords. And the outcomes of those situations?

Yang Da still stood unscathed!

Could the Qi Family possibly compare to Japan, Russia, or the Vatican?

If the Qi Family’s elders were here, they wouldn’t just kneel—seeing Yang Da might have already left them trembling and weak in the knees. Qi Xuan’s actions were practically putting the Qi Family at risk!

"Qi Xuan! Step back immediately, or don’t blame me for being harsh!"

Cao Jia, a longtime ally of the Qi Family, attempted to intervene when she saw how far this had gone. Lu Luan, too, felt compelled to chime in to de-escalate the situation.

Unfortunately, her efforts only seemed to enrage Qi Xuan further.

What had prompted Qi Xuan to confront Yang Da in the first place?

It was, of course, because of Lu Luan!

And yet now, with Qi Xuan injured because of Yang Da, Lu Luan showed no concern for him whatsoever. Instead, she entered the room and immediately asked if Yang Da was all right, even having the audacity to demand that Qi Xuan leave!
