The Master and His Wealthy Fiancée

The Guo residence was halfway across the Inner City from the Chen residence. Just as Chen Dong arrived at the Guo Family's gate, a bright red Maserati GC came speeding toward him.

HONK~ HONK~! The horn blared incessantly!

Chen Dong frowned. With a quick flicker of movement, he "luckily" avoided a car crash.

Skid marks stretched far down the road as the Maserati screeched to a halt before the Guo Family's main gate. The door flew open, and a menacing woman in tall boots stepped out.

The woman was in her twenties, with pretty features and a stylish outfit. But even from a distance, Chen Dong could feel her overbearing attitude.

The woman strode toward Chen Dong, pointing a finger at him. "Are you blind, you beggar? Didn't you see my car? Walking in the middle of the road, are you looking to die?!" Her tone was sharp and aggressive as she immediately tried to pin the blame on him.

Chen Dong's new casual suit may have only been worth a few hundred, but he was clearly no beggar. He had no patience for such an arrogant woman. "Get lost!" he said coldly.

The woman's name was Guo Meizhu, a young lady from the main branch of the Guo Family. How could she possibly let it go after being yelled at by a random passerby right in front of her family's ancestral home? She roared back, "Son of a bitch, who the hell do you think you are?! You almost wrecked my precious car, and now you dare to yell at me? Just for that, I can promise you, this isn't over!"

Chen Dong was disgusted. 'Driving that fast in high-heeled boots,' he thought. 'She gets out, doesn't even ask if I'm okay, and immediately starts blaming me. Even Li Huiran changes into flats when she drives. And judging by how calm she is, this obviously isn't the first time she's done something like this.'

His cold gaze shifted from Guo Meizhu to the massive plaque above the Guo Mansion gate. "You're with the Guo Family?" he asked.

Guo Meizhu's expression was full of arrogance. "What, scared now? Realize you can't afford to offend the Guo Family? Too late for regrets. Just for yelling at me, your fate today is sealed!"

Chen Dong cracked his knuckles. 'Can't afford to offend them, huh?' He chuckled inwardly. "And what fate is that?" he asked coldly.

Guo Meizhu started to yell, "I'll have you..."

A sudden clap of thunder RUMBLED out of the clear sky. The Guo Family plaque shattered and fell to the ground in pieces.

Guo Meizhu flinched in shock, but finished her threat out of habit: "...crippled!"

Chen Dong shot Guo Meizhu a cold glare. "'Crippled?' Then let's start with you!"

A bolt of lightning struck Guo Meizhu, sending her flying into the Guo Family's main gate. The old, vermilion-lacquered gate instantly splintered apart.

Chen Dong's attack was aimed more at the gate, so Guo Meizhu wasn't seriously injured. She scrambled to her feet, hair a mess, her eyes filled with venom. "You're dead! You're so dead!" she shrieked. "You think you can provoke the Guo Family of Beijing just because you know a few martial arts tricks? Not even the gods can save you today!"

The commotion drew a large crowd, every one of them glaring at Chen Dong with fury.

"Who is this guy? He actually smashed our plaque!"

"Damn it, does he think the Guo Family is a pushover?"

An elderly Grandmaster spoke in a cold voice, "Nothing short of drawing and quartering this brat will quench the hatred in my heart!"

Chen Dong briefly scanned the crowd with his senses. 'Not a single one has even reached the Outer Appearance Realm.' Lightning crackled in his hand. Without a word, he unleashed several bolts, instantly striking a dozen people unconscious.

This was Chen Dong holding back. He had come for revenge, but he was not a bloodthirsty man. Those struck by the lightning had only been knocked unconscious.

Wreathed in countless arcs of violet-blue lightning, Chen Dong looked like a god of divine retribution.

The eyes of the Guo Family members filled with terror. Guo Meizhu was completely dumbfounded. 'The ordinary guy I almost hit... is this powerful?' A sliver of doubt entered her mind. 'Did I bring this disaster upon my family?' The Guo Family name, which had always been so effective, had been utterly trampled on today.

A pang of regret bloomed in her heart. If only she had apologized back then, perhaps none of this would have happened.

The once-arrogant elderly Grandmaster was now scrambling back into the residence, shouting in terror, "Get the Ancestor! Someone get the Guo Family Ancestor! An enemy is at the gates!..."

Chen Dong rose into the air on a current of energy. Knowing the Guo Family Ancestor was inside, he had no intention of hiding his power. His entire purpose in coming was to use his strength to force the Guo Family to hand over Guo Lingtong.

The Outer Appearance and Tiangang experts of the Guo Family who had rushed over to help were all dumbstruck seeing Chen Dong rise into the air. One of them stammered, his tongue clicking in shock, "Inn... Inner... Inner Realm!"

"Ancestor! Ancestor, come quickly! The intruder is too strong! We are no match for him!" They didn't even have the courage to attack.

An elder of the clan at the Outer Appearance Realm, frustrated by their cowardice, said bitterly, "An Inner Realm master has come to kill us! This is a great calamity for the Guo Family! You cannot fall into chaos! Everyone, form a defensive formation and wait for the Ancestor to make his move!"

But the Guo Family members, having lived in comfort for so many years, had no courage. They remained a chaotic mess, completely ignoring the elder's command.

A figure shot up from the Guo residence, appearing in the air before Chen Dong.

The face of the Cyan Dragon betrayed no hint of his age. He wore an exquisite, well-fitted purple Tang suit, and his two-foot-long, silvery-white beard drifted in the wind.

The old man knit his brows. "I am Guo Lin," he said. "May I ask, fellow cultivator, why you have come to bully my Guo Family?"

Chen Dong let out a soft laugh. "Does the Guo Family Ancestor truly not know?"

Guo Lin's face turned cold. "As far as I know, the Guo Family has never offended you, fellow cultivator. For you to smash our gate, destroy our plaque, and injure our people... is this not taking things too far?"

Guo Lin couldn't gauge Chen Dong's true strength. He had never seen such a young Inner Realm master. Moreover, Chen Dong's lightning techniques were so profound they seemed divine, which made Guo Lin feel a sliver of fear.
