Chapter 268: 0267 Then be arrogant

Si Ma’ao did not hide his hostility, and Ye Qiu guessed his thoughts for a while before fixing his expression. He was not bothered at all by Si Ma’ao’s oppressive attitude.

"No wonder you dared to belittle and say that you disdain to associate with us, the members of the Dragon Group. It seems you have some skills," Si Ma’ao commented with a click of his tongue.

When had Ye Qiu ever said that? Just as Ye Qiu was about to explain, the words at the tip of his tongue were swallowed back. Seeing Si Ma’ao’s attitude, Ye Qiu suspected that even if he explained, it wouldn’t be believed. Since the other party was convinced he was extremely arrogant, any explanation would seem like a concession.

"Brother Si Ma’ao, Brother Ye Qiu has just arrived at our base. Isn’t it inappropriate to treat a newcomer like this?" Mu Zhige intervened in an attempt to mediate.

Si Ma’ao glanced sidelong at Mu Zhige and said, "Mu Zhige, I don’t need you meddling in my affairs. Are you trying to stand up for him? I remember that statement originally came from you."

Mu Zhige suddenly hesitated, feeling very awkward. Ye Qiu looked at him, which made it even harder for Mu Zhige to explain. He could only force a smile and said, "Actually, I didn’t mean that. I just wanted to say that Brother Ye has great strength. Brother Ye Qiu, please don’t blame me."

Ye Qiu automatically categorized Mu Zhige with the old perverted master who habitually betrayed his disciples. Considering Mu Zhige’s behaviors, he must be good at betraying his teammates. No wonder the others harbored hostility towards him; it must have been related to what Mu Zhige had leaked.

Thinking this, Ye Qiu didn’t really care about the issue. He believed that even without Mu Zhige’s remarks, exaggerating his capabilities, the members of the Dragon Group would still want to test his skills.

To establish oneself in a place, one must first demonstrate sufficient strength. This rule was ironclad, no matter where one went, something Ye Qiu understood very well.

"Ye Xiaozhang, do you dare to spar with me? I’m very curious about your strength," Si Ma’ao shifted his attention back to Ye Qiu.

Ye Qiu smiled, about to reply, when suddenly, a voice interrupted, "Wait a minute."

A figure floated up from behind and said, "Si Ma’ao, if anyone is to fight him, it should be me first."

The newcomer carried a Longsword on his back, his hair styled in an ancient manner, looking like a figure from the past, which appeared rather odd in modern times.

Mu Chujian.

Si Ma’ao’s eyes flashed slightly; he did not want to give up the chance to be the first to act to Mu Chujian, saying, "Mu Chujian, I was the first to notice him. If anyone should act, it should be me first."

"Si Ma’ao, Mu Chujian, have you two forgotten about me, Yuan Zongguang?" Another rough voice chimed in.

In Ye Qiu’s eyes appeared a tall, large man, reminiscent of a giant bear, which made Ye Qiu involuntarily think of Meng Chong. The two seemed to be of similar build.

"What now, Yuan Zongguang, you also want to fight us two for him?" Si Ma’ao and Mu Chujian responded.

Only to hear Yuan Zongguang laugh heartily, "It’s been a long time since I saw such an interesting newcomer. I could save you two the trouble by stepping in, and it’s nice to be a spectator too."

Yuan Zongguang’s words were somewhat joking, causing Si Ma’ao and Mu Chujian to snort in response.

With the three top fighters of the Dragon Group gathered, all eager to challenge Ye Qiu first, this scene immediately caught the attention of all the Dragon Group members.

In an instant, a large number of Dragon Group members gathered around, eager to see how things would unfold. Regardless of who would teach Ye Qiu a lesson, they were all eager to see the arrogant newcomer be firmly put in his place.

Seeing all three interested in him, Ye Qiu suddenly interjected, "Since all three of you want to battle me, Ye Qiu, I have a suggestion."

All three looked at him curiously.

"The three of you can join forces against me; I’ll take you all on. This way, all your desires to fight me would be satisfied. How does that sound?" Ye Qiu said calmly.

The moment he said this, everyone around was stunned. One person challenging the three strongest masters of the Dragon Group?

He was far too arrogant; the saying "hearing the name doesn’t match seeing in person" really fits Ye Xiaozhang. He truly is insufferably arrogant.

"Who do you think you are, taking on the three strongest members of the Dragon Group at the same time? Too conceited."

Not to mention the expressions of Si Ma’ao, Mu Chujian, and Yuan Zongguang, the other Dragon Group members nearby were immediately stunned by Ye Qiu’s bold declaration.

"Ah, I can’t stand it any longer! Treating us as if we’re nothing, as though we’re just vegetables you can chop as you please!"

"Damn it, I’ve never seen anyone so arrogant."

The nearby Dragon Group members exploded in anger, rolling up their sleeves, ready to teach Ye Qiu a lesson and let out some steam by turning his face into a pig’s head.

"Heh, what courage! In the Dragon Group, you are the first one to ever talk to us three like this," sneered Si Ma’ao, taking over the conversation from Ye Qiu’s bold statements.

Mu Chujian’s fingers were tapping on the hilt of his longsword, clearly unable to hold back from acting, while Yuan Zongguang stared at Ye Qiu, intrigued and shocked by Ye Qiu’s daring words.

"Gentlemen, since he’s put it this way, shall we accept or not?" Si Ma’ao’s gaze turned toward Mu Chujian and Yuan Zongguang.

"He’s asking for it. I have no objections," said Mu Chujian lightly.

"I have no objections either," Yuan Zongguang laughed.

The atmosphere became charged with a fighting spirit, and they moved to the usually desolate training ground where the other Dragon Group members eagerly followed.

The fight was about to begin!

The news that Ye Qiu was about to face the three strongest members of the Dragon Group immediately alerted everyone at the base, attracting even the technicians.

The base hadn’t seen such excitement in a long time. Normally, there were only dull training sessions, but now, Ye Qiu’s appearance had completely set off everyone in the Dragon Group.

Upon hearing the news, numerous members hurried to the training ground, as did Lin Wurou and Li Xiaohu.

"He’s over there," Li Xiaohu pointed at a man standing opposite Si Ma’ao and his group, the very man being Ye Qiu.

"Him, taking on Si Ma’ao, Mu Chujian, and Yuan Zongguang all by himself, sizzle, just thinking about it gets people pumped," said Li Xiaohu. Unlike the other Dragon Group members, he actually admired Ye Qiu’s arrogance, seeing this behavior as that of a real man who dares to challenge any strong opponent.

Lin Wurou rolled her eyes at Li Xiaohu and said, "Looks like you admire him a lot. Do you also want to learn from him and take on Si Ma’ao and his team alone?"

Li Xiaohu quickly shook his head like a bobblehead toy and chuckled, "I neither have the courage nor the strength. I can’t even handle one Si Ma’ao, let alone three at the same level."

Lin Wurou couldn’t be bothered with Li Xiaohu’s spineless demeanor, shifting her gaze instead to the lone figure standing there.

She remembered that when she first met Ye Qiu, he seemed somewhat roguish, which later seemed to be just a facade. Yet all his previous actions had been quite ordinary, nothing as eye-catching as they were now.

Arrogant or conceited, Ye Qiu today gave off a sensation that he was about to burst forth with sharp intensity.

Was this his real side?

Lin Wurou thought quietly to herself.
