Chapter 348 - 348

348: 348 348: 348 At that moment, Zhou Yu rose to his feet and stepped up to Ji Guanming, directly grabbing his forearm.

Ji Guanming was startled and immediately looked at Zhou Yu.

All he saw was Zhou Yu looking back at him with a faint smile on his face.

“Who are you?

Let go of me!”

Ji Guanming snorted coldly and directly leaned in with a Shoulder Crash.

This move was very subtle, appearing to onlookers like a friendly chest bump, but in reality, it was a common technique used by Body Refinement Martial Artists—Shoulder Crash.

This Ji Guanming was also a Martial Artist, though he was only at the level of hidden strength in Body Refinement.

If Zhou Yu were just an ordinary person, this move could break his ribs.

Of course, the person hit wouldn’t have any immediate problems.

However, within a few minutes, they would start to have difficulty breathing and could potentially suffocate to death if not treated promptly.

Ji Guanming, who looked quite scholarly, had surprisingly ruthless tactics.

Bang!

However, upon crashing into Zhou Yu, it was as if he had hit a wall of copper and iron.

His hidden strength not only failed to harm Zhou Yu but was even rebounded back at him.

Ji Guanming’s face changed as he staggered back several steps before he could dissipate the force.

His expression altered.

“Who are you?”

Zhou Yu said indifferently,

“You touch my woman and then ask who I am?”

“How interesting!”

“Your woman?”

Ji Guanming sneered confidently, his voice suddenly rising by an octave.

“Ask her if she says she’s your woman.”

Ji Guanming’s rebuke drew the attention of the people around them.

Zhou Yu’s mouth curled slightly upward.

“Playing such petty tricks in front of me, you think I can’t see through them?”

With that, a silver needle appeared at the tip of Zhou Yu’s finger.

He used the needle to prick Shui Tianyue’s neck.

Shui Tianyue’s body trembled, and her eyes instantly became clear.

“What…

what happened to me?”

Shui Tianyue looked around, bewildered.

Ji Guanming’s face underwent a drastic change.

“You…

you actually broke my…”

He suddenly shut his mouth.

He spat furiously,

“Damn it, kid, you actually hurt her with a needle?”

“Tianyue, are you alright?

Who is this guy?

He actually pricked your neck with a silver needle!

If I hadn’t stopped him, who knows what he would’ve done to you!”

“Many people around saw it.”

Ji Guanming pointed to the bystanders.

“Indeed, the kid used a needle.”

“I saw it, I can testify.”

The crowd echoed support for Ji Guanming.

Ji Guanming looked at Zhou Yu with a triumphant expression.

The smile between his brows seemed to say, ‘You’re still too green to fight with me.’

However, Shui Tianyue paid no attention to Ji Guanming and instead turned to ask Zhou Yu,

“What happened to me just now?”

“This guy used a low-level soul technique on you, putting you into a state similar to hypnosis, making you only respond to his commands.”

Shui Tianyue’s face turned furious.

“What???”

“Ji Guanming, you dare to use such despicable means against me.”

Anger was written all over Shui Tianyue’s face.

Ji Guanming quickly tried to defend himself,

“Tianyue, it was clearly him who pricked you with the needle, many saw it.

How can you still believe what he says?”

At that moment, the restaurant manager arrived with several security guards.

The restaurant manager sternly reprimanded,

“What happened here…”

Before he could finish, he saw Ji Guanming and his expression promptly turned respectful.

“Young Master Ji, what brings you here?

Why didn’t you let me know you were coming so I could arrange our best private room for you?”

Ji Guanming glanced at the manager, his demeanor arrogant,

“You know me?”

“Of course.”

“A week ago, weren’t you dining here with Young Master Xun Liang?

At that time, I personally served you in the private room.”

Being the manager of Nine Immortal Mansion, Ding Zhen naturally remembered every person who accompanied Xun Liang very well.

Ji Guanming then remembered,

“Oh, you’re the hall manager Ding Zhen, right?”

“Right, right, I am Ding Zhen.”

“Young Master Ji has an impressive memory.”

“By the way, Young Master Ji, what happened here?”

Ji Guanming sneered,

Pointing at Zhou Yu, he said,

“This guy used a silver needle to secretly harm my friend.

I suspect he has ulterior motives.

Have someone beat him up for me, then send him to the police chief.”

Upon hearing this, Ding Zhen quickly assessed Zhou Yu.

As a hall manager, he had a very accurate eye for judging people.

Just from Zhou Yu’s attire, all of his clothes combined didn’t amount to more than a thousand yuan.

Likely, Zhou Yu was just an average person.

Even if he had some status, it definitely wouldn’t compare to Ji Guanming, especially since the Ji Family was considered a second-tier family in the provincial city, not to mention Ji Guanming was good brothers with Xun Liang.

These pieces of information flashed through Ding Zhen’s mind rapidly, and he immediately showed a vicious smile,

“Damn it, to think you dared lay hands on a brother of the Young Master of Nine Immortal Mansion, kid, you’ve got some nerve.”

With a wave of his hand, the security guards immediately surrounded them.

Shui Tianyue’s expression darkened,

“Ji Guanming, I don’t want to make a big fuss over today’s incident.

If you don’t want trouble, beat it now, or you’ll regret it in a bit.”

Shui Tianyue was very clear about Zhou Yu’s prowess; a mere Ji Guanming causing trouble for Zhou Yu was asking for his own demise.

However, these words sounded like sheer scorn to Ji Guanming’s ears.

He fumed with rage,

“Shui Tianyue, I graced you with my favor, and you think it’s your right.

You think I don’t know that the Dong Family has already kicked you out?

And you still think you have the Dong Family backing you up?”

“How dare you threaten me, today, if you don’t satisfy me, don’t blame me for being impolite.”

Ji Guanming’s face twisted into a malicious smile.

“Manager Ding, hit him.

If anything happens, it’s on me.”
