Chapter 119 Jiang Yi (1)Wen Yantong shouted those words happily while Jiang Yi’s expression turned ferocious. Livid, he pointed at Wen Yantong and said sharply, "Insolent! How dare a mere commoner speak insultingly to this official!"He instructed the guards, "Seize him!"The guard rushed forward, Wen Yantong subconsciously took two steps back. The servant standing in front of her flicked his finger, and from out of nowhere, conjured up a silver bar that was as long as an arm, "Young Master Jiang, please do not be impulsive!"The long silver bar looked flabby and harmless, but after the servant took it out, his whole momentum suddenly changed.Jiang Yi seemed to have allowed the anger to cloud his judgment. He completely disregarded the servant’s warnings and continued to holler at his guards to catch Wen Yantong. He even rolled up his sleeves, ready to step forward himself.Just before the scene became chaotic, it suddenly fell silent. Jiang Yi and the others were originally grinning and showing their teeth and claws, but now they were staring blankly behind Wen Yantong, stoned in place.From their appearance, Wen Yantong knew that someone was coming behind her, so she also turned around.Behind her stood Chi Jingxi in a smoky blue brocade suit standing at the end of the hallway. There was a lamp hanging beside his head, and the warm light clearly outlined his profile.His gaze scanned the area, and in the end fell on Wen Yantong.Wen Yantong was naturally very happy to see him, but thinking that Chi Jingxi was probably still angry, she didn't dare to act recklessly, and only called out in a quiet voice, "Little Marquis."Chi Jingxi's eyebrows moved slightly. He looked at Wen Yantong standing among the crowd. Because of her short stature, she looked very weak. With a timid look on her face, in addition to her voice, which was light and soft, it seemed as if she was facing injustice.He stepped forward.Although Jiang Yi spoke with arrogance just now, seeing Chi Jingxi, he couldn't help feeling a little guilty. He rolled down his sleeves and faked a cough, "Little Marquis, you came just in time. I heard that this commoner was brought by you?"Chi Jingxi ignored him and completely disregarded his presence. Every time his shoes hit the floor, it made a small sound. And in front of everyone’s eyes, they stopped in front of Wen Yantong.Everyone was on edge. It had been a long time since they had seen Chi Jingxi acting like this. Even Wen Yantong felt a little apprehensive, so she had to call out again, "Little Marquis."Unexpectedly, Chi Jingxi responded very gently, "Didn't you say you were going to the toilet? Why are you here?"Wen Yantong was surprised, but thankfully, Chi Jingxi didn't seem to be too angry anymore. So she immediately replied, "I'm not very familiar with the way here."Chi Jingxi continued, "If you don't know, you should ask, don't go around blindly by yourself."Wen Yantong nodded hurriedly, with a good attitude of admitting her mistake, "I won't do it next time."Seeing that Chi Jingxi ignored him in front of so many people, Jiang Yi couldn't help but lose face. And so, he interrupted in a somewhat aggressive tone, "Little Marquis is a high-ranking person now. It seems that we, minor officials, are no longer worth looking at."After hearing this, the corners of Chi Jingxi’s mouth twitched and a mocking smile appeared instantly. He turned and said to Jiang Yi, "Since you are already aware you are a minor official, why bother to talk so much in my presence?"Jiang Yi blushed with fury. "You!"Chi Jingxi exuded impatience all over his body, and seemed unwilling to talk to Jiang Yi, "Hurry up and scram. Don’t dawdle and contaminate my sight."Wen Yantong's ears twitched. She recalled that Chi Jingxi had also said something similar to her before. It seemed that there was no discrimination in treatment. If Chi Jingxi didn't want to see someone, he would bluntly make them leave.Jiang Yi seemed to have been confused by his rage as he retorted angrily, "Chi Jingxi! No matter how powerful your Marquis Mansion is, this place is not part of your jurisdiction! This is Chaoge, the place where my century-old Jiang Household took root! Do you really think you can continue to act so lawless anywhere?"Wen Yantong was inwardly flabbergasted by his words. She didn't expect Jiang Yi to be able to say such words even if he was in a fit of fury... Even if Marquis Anhuai did not live in Chaoge, the imperial family was. Who dared to provoke Chi Jingxi?But Jiang Yi's words, whether literally or metaphorically, all held blatant malice.Chi Jingxi's eyes turned cold, "Are you threatening me?"Jiang Yi pulled the corners of his mouth and smirked, "Of course this humble official doesn't dare, this is just a friendly reminder for Little Marquis."Wen Yantong couldn't bear it anymore as she looked up at Jiang Yi. His expression was really ridiculous– his eyes were full of arrogance and his face was smug. Jiang Yi had thought that he had temporarily restrained this always favored and spoiled Little Marquis.She only felt that the surroundings were quiet for a while when suddenly she heard a slight whisst sound. When Wen Yantong realized what had just happened, Jiang Yi had already been kicked in the chest. He rolled back several times, hitting the end of the hall, making a loud crash, and followed by a painful cry.As expected, Chi Jingxi was still Chi Jingxi, no need for long-windedness, just a beating was enough.The sudden change left the guards gobsmacked. They wanted to protect and avenge their young master, but the other party was Little Marquis, so no one dared to make any moves against him. But if they didn't do anything, they wouldn’t be able to explain themselves to Jiang Yi, so two guards went to help Jiang Yi while the other three stood in front of Chi Jingxi.Wu Yutian was so frightened that he ran into the corner with his head in his arms.How could Chi Jingxi's anger be relieved with just one kick? He picked up a guard in front of him and punched him. There was a muffled sound on the flesh, and nosebleeds spurted out instantly.Wen Yantong was scared witless. Chi Jingxi's punches were raw and powerful, and his movements were quite clean and precise. With a few blows, the three guards dropped to the ground. After this warm up, Chi Jingxi walked towards Jiang Yi again.Jiang Yi was still flabbergasted by his kick. He had hit his head hard on the ground just now, so his eyes were still blurry now. Before he was helped up, Chi Jingxi had put his foot on his shoulders and pressed Jiang Yi back onto the ground.Chi Jingxi sneered, "Aren't you threatening me? Why don't you stand up and continue to speak?"Wen Yantong silently watched on. Cause you are stepping on his shoulders.
