Chapter 344: Covert Clash
However, neither the young man nor the middle-aged bodyguard behind him paid Qin Tuo any mind, clearly dismissing him completely.
But the moment she returned home, before Ouyang Feifei even had a chance to greet her parents, her expression turned furious.
She stormed over and demanded in a sharp voice,
"Mom, Dad, what is he doing here?"
Ouyang Feifei’s father, Ouyang Zhengde, had a conflicted look on his face. He opened his mouth, but not a single word came out.
Seeing Ouyang Feifei’s reaction, Qin Tuo and Chen Man Ni instantly understood that she and the man already knew each other.
And from Ouyang Feifei’s agitated expression, it seemed there was some untold history between them.
The young man on the sofa looked up, a cold smirk in his eyes, and said,
"Feifei, do you even need to ask? Of course I came to see you!"
Ouyang Feifei swore at him.
"Liu Tao, can you be any more shameless?"
Liu Tao seemed completely unfazed, continuing with a mocking tone,
"Feifei, even though we broke off the engagement, it’s not like there’s no chance of us getting back together. I came back this time to rekindle our past romance, didn’t I?"
He said the words, but his expression was utterly flippant, clearly showing no sincerity whatsoever.
Seeing his attitude, Chen Man Ni, who was standing to the side, frowned, her expression turning cold.
’Clearly, this man is a complete heartbreaker who has hurt Ouyang Feifei in the past!’
Sure enough, Ouyang Feifei’s expression was furious. She said angrily,
"Liu Tao, you bastard! Wasn’t it enough for you to humiliate me back then? Why don’t you go find your Miss Zhu the Elder? What are you doing here bothering me?"
Hearing this, Liu Tao just laughed, shook his head, and said nonchalantly,
"Oh, you mean Zhu Ziyu? I actually dumped her a long time ago. I still like you best, after all!"
Ouyang Feifei was so angry she was speechless. Her face was flushed bright red, and her shoulders trembled slightly.
Qin Tuo glanced at Ouyang Feifei in confusion. He had never seen her this furious before.
’It was easy to imagine that this Liu Tao must have done something truly awful to her in the past.’
As he spoke, Liu Tao stood up and reached for Ouyang Feifei’s arm.
His actions showed he had no regard for the fact that he was in the Ouyang Family home, completely disrespecting the Ouyang Family’s Patriarch, Ouyang Zhengde.
He moved so suddenly that Ouyang Feifei had no time to dodge, and he seized her by the wrist.
Ouyang Feifei was instantly furious. She struggled with all her might, shouting,
"Liu Tao, you shameless bastard, let me go!"
But Liu Tao just kept grinning, showing no intention of letting go.
Ouyang Feifei struggled desperately to break free, but Liu Tao was a Grandmaster. How could she possibly be a match for him?
Seeing this, Chen Man Ni grew anxious and was about to rush forward to help.
Nearby, Ouyang Feifei’s parents also hurried forward, intending to intervene.
However, the middle-aged man behind Liu Tao shot them a vicious glare.
The terrifying gaze carried a sharp aura, scaring Ouyang Feifei’s parents into silence. Their expressions turned grim.
Seeing Liu Tao bully Ouyang Feifei, Chen Man Ni could no longer hold back.
Seething with rage, she rushed forward and shouted,
"You bastard Liu, let go of Feifei right now!"
Liu Tao, however, just turned his head, shot Chen Man Ni a contemptuous glance, and didn’t even deign to respond.
’In Liu Tao’s mind, Chen Man Ni wasn’t even qualified to speak to him.’
Chen Man Ni was so angry she wanted to hit him. She clenched her fists, about to lunge forward.
However, the middle-aged man behind Liu Tao let out another heavy snort. At the same time, a terrifying aura coalesced, twisting like a tornado as it shot toward Chen Man Ni!
Chen Man Ni had no time to react as she watched the powerful momentum about to slam into her.
Moreover, Chen Man Ni had already lost her Body-Protecting Jade Pendant. If she were hit by the aura of a Grandmaster, she would likely suffer significant internal injuries.
Standing nearby, Qin Tuo could finally take it no longer. He couldn’t just stand by and watch Chen Man Ni get hurt!
And so, Qin Tuo swiftly released a stream of Spiritual Qi from within his body.
This Spiritual Qi was immensely powerful, and it collided violently with the middle-aged man’s wave of energy.
The two auras crashed together in midair, unleashing an invisible shockwave that rippled through the hall!
In the blink of an eye, the middle-aged man was overwhelmed by the immense power and was forced back several steps.
After regaining his footing, his face was filled with disbelief as he stared intently at Qin Tuo.
The middle-aged man couldn’t believe it. Qin Tuo possessed enough power to force him back using only his aura.
Only then did the middle-aged man realize he had gravely underestimated this young man.
Seeing this, Liu Tao’s pupils contracted sharply.
He was also a Grandmaster, so he could naturally tell that in the exchange just now, his own bodyguard had come out on the losing end.
Qin Tuo snorted coldly, strode forward, and forcefully pried Liu Tao’s hand away.
Liu Tao looked up, his face a mask of cold indifference, but his eyes held an unmistakable, terrifying killing intent.
Qin Tuo, however, paid it no mind, saying with a wide grin,
"My friend, you’ve got to be a little gentler with the ladies. You can’t be so rough, or you’ll have a hard time finding a wife."
The moment he finished speaking, Liu Tao’s face darkened.
Chen Man Ni, on the other hand, felt a sudden urge to laugh out loud.
The moment she saw Qin Tuo step in, she knew Liu Tao wouldn’t be able to bully Ouyang Feifei today.
Ouyang Feifei rubbed her wrist where Liu Tao had grabbed it. It was clearly still throbbing with pain.
Nearby, Ouyang Feifei’s parents had looks of deep surprise on their faces, but they also looked at Qin Tuo with worry.
’Where did Qin Tuo get the nerve to offend Liu Tao?’
’After all, this Liu Tao was a scion of a great family from the Capital City!’
The middle-aged man scrutinized Qin Tuo, his eyes filled with undisguised killing intent.
He shook his head and said coldly,
"I never expected Celestial South Province to have such a formidable member of the younger generation. I’ve really learned something today."
But as he finished speaking, it was clear he was unconvinced and wanted to attack Qin Tuo again.
And so, the atmosphere immediately grew tense again.
Qin Tuo sensed the middle-aged man’s killing intent, but he paid it no mind. With a cold smile, he prepared himself as well.
But just as the two were about to clash, Liu Tao suddenly stopped the middle-aged man, giving him a slight shake of the head.
