"Miss Lin, martial arts is not the only standard to measure a person's worth. My grandson is humble and does not wish to truly fight you," Chen Jie Li said solemnly.
"Is that so? Then how about we compete again?" Lin Yin replied with a cold laugh.
"A good man does not fight with a woman. No matter how many times we compete, my grandson will always give way to you," Chen Jie Li stated.
"Hmph, I'm too lazy to argue with you. How shameless can you be? If you can't beat me, you have to say he’s letting me win," Lin Yin frowned, surprised at the extent of his shamelessness.
"Miss Lin, I hope you won't be willful. Think carefully about my words. If you miss out on my grandson, you will regret it in the future," Chen Jie Li said, gradually losing his patience. His reputation had always been impeccable, and he never expected that even when he personally intervened, Lin Yin would show him no respect, which left him feeling indignant.
"President Chen, you're really boring. With a grandson like yours, you think he can pursue me? A lazy frog dreaming of swan meat—what a fantasy," Lin Yin scoffed. Initially, she had been somewhat polite given Chen Jie Li's age, but his shamelessness was beyond her expectations.
Lin Yin had no intention of being courteous to someone so shameless.
"Miss Lin, please watch your words," Chen Jie Li snapped angrily.
"Get lost! Otherwise, I’ll insult you too. Don’t block my view while my master is enjoying the scenery," Lin Yin said impatiently.
"Cough, President Chen, since Miss Lin is not interested in your grandson, there's no need to force it. Why not go back and calm down?" Liu Chaowu suggested awkwardly. If Chen Jie Li continued this way and angered Jiang Chen, it would end badly.
"I don't need to calm down. Young lady, don’t refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a punishment," Chen Jie Li's tone turned sinister as he became increasingly angry.
"President Chen, just let it go. Don’t push it further; Mr. Jiang is not someone you can offend," Liu Chaowu whispered in persuasion. After all, they were old friends from the Martial Arts Association, and Liu Chaowu did not want to see a conflict between Chen Jie Li and Jiang Chen.
However, Liu Chaowu's advice was futile.
Chen Jie Li had never endured such humiliation in his life. The fact that a young girl told him to leave was intolerable for anyone, let alone for someone like Chen Jie Li, the President of the Martial Arts Association.
"Weren't you saying he's not from the Hidden Sect family? Since he's not from the Hidden Sect family, what do I have to fear? Liu brother, perhaps you don’t know yet that my sworn brother Wu Shiding from the Hidden Sect Shen Xue Men recently broke through to the Divine Realm and has now become an elder of Shen Xue Men. For the upcoming Martial Arts Arena Tournament, I've already invited him to oversee it. You should know the weight of an elder from the Hidden Sect; even if this kid is a young master from our Huaxia Seven Great Martial Arts Families, I can handle him," Chen Jie Li said with a smug smile.
Liu Chaowu was slightly taken aback; he knew well what that entailed and was surprised that Chen Jie Li had such capability to invite an elder from the Hidden Sect Shen Xue Men to preside over the event.
People outside held deep respect for families from the Hidden Sect due to their mystery and history spanning hundreds of years—far beyond what any ordinary family could compare with.
Because of their enigmatic nature and lack of understanding, Liu Chaowu felt uncertain about Jiang Chen as well. He believed both the Hidden Sect family and Jiang Chen were unfathomable; if they were to clash, he couldn't guarantee who would emerge victorious in the end.
