=====
Zhang Mu didn't know if Ye Feng was too engrossed in exchanging glances with Xie Ruolin or what was happening.
But, for some f*cking reason, Zhang Mu found that his fist met no resistance and hit Ye Feng's nose directly.
Two streams of hot, fresh blood gushed out directly from Ye Feng's nose and stained his handsome face.
Bang!
Ye Feng, bleeding from his nose, was knocked down by Zhang Mu with a single punch.
"It's all because of this woman!"
Before falling, Ye Feng still stared at Xie Ruolin fiercely.
This dark rose often lingered in the flower field but never got stained by a leaf.
How could she be as weak as she seemed on the surface?
Ye Feng had investigated before coming. Xie Ruolin's methods were extremely sinister. Quietly poisoning others was just one of her tricks.
Just now, she had instantly drugged him. Her technique was too skillful, and the drug's effect was too strong!
That was why he couldn't muster his strength to move or even speak, and he was easily knocked down by Zhang Mu with a punch!
Ye Feng felt unjust!
But the people in the bar didn't know Ye Feng's inner resentment. Just now, when Ye Feng caused trouble, it attracted a lot of attention.
From their perspective, they only saw Ye Feng suddenly coming over and yelling, and then Xie Ruolin trying to deal with Zhang Mu. So naturally, they all thought Ye Feng was deliberately looking for trouble.
So, they all were watching the excitement.
Some even mocked Ye Feng.
"He has no skill, but he's trying to steal someone's girl, ridiculous."
"He got his nose broken, so embarrassing."
"Tsk tsk, this youngster is so impulsive, and doesn't know his limits."
Hearing these insults, Zhang Mu was speechless.
What was going on?
According to the original novel, shouldn't these words be used to mock him, the good-for-nothing trash, after being beaten up by Ye Feng, the protagonist?
How did it turn into mocking the protagonist Ye Feng?
This plot didn't make sense!
Why were these guys cursing Ye Feng?
'Curse me instead!'
If these guys keep doing this, how could he possibly follow the plot?
How could he get the rewards from the system and return home?!
Meanwhile, Ye Feng, who fell to the ground but still had clear consciousness, became even more enraged after hearing these insults.
His forehead flushed with anger, and his cheeks reddened.
He, the mighty king of soldiers, had never suffered such insults after falling.
And it didn't stop there.
Not far away, the group of men led by Cheng Haonan, who were also Zhang Mu's lackeys, also noticed the situation.
Cheng Haonan and the others shouted praise for Zhang Mu's mightiness.
While charging over, they beat and kicked Ye Feng as he was down.
"Trying to steal Young Master Zhang's girl? You're looking for death!"
"You think you're worthy of fighting with me, Young Master Zhang? Dream on!"
"Damn you! Daring to provoke our Young Master Zhang."
It must be said that these villainous lackeys were quite enthusiastic.
Ye Feng soon had shoe prints all over his body.
And Zhang Mu still didn't understand why Ye Feng suddenly fell from his punch.
He was still puzzled.
But soon, seeing Ye Feng lying on the ground, unable to get up due to being beaten by Cheng Haonan and the others, Zhang Mu also felt nervous and worried.
He was afraid that the protagonist, Ye Feng, would be beaten to death.
As a vicious villain who wanted to follow the plot, he couldn't accept Ye Feng being beaten to death!
So, Zhang Mu quickly stepped forward to stop Cheng Haonan and the others.
"Stop it! Stop it, all of you!"
"Stop! Don't hit him anymore! Let me handle this brat!"
"I'll personally handle it!"
Hearing Zhang Mu's words, Cheng Haonan, and the others finally dispersed obediently, revealing Ye Feng, who was already bruised and swollen.
And seeing Ye Feng just bruised and swollen but still breathing, Zhang Mu felt relieved.
But Zhang Mu still couldn't understand why the protagonist Ye Feng, the king of soldiers, would be easily knocked down by his punch.
On the side, the female lead, Xie Ruolin, who was drinking wine and watching with amusement on the side, seemed indifferent.
As if she was just watching a show.
Although Ye Feng was just now beaten up, his soldier physique was there, so he could still endure it.
So, he continued to stare at Zhang Mu with sharp eyes, full of vitality.
And seeing Ye Feng's still energetic, sharp eyes and Xie Ruolin, who was elegantly holding a wine glass and watching Ye Feng being beaten without a care in the world, Zhang Mu suddenly realized!
He understood!
So that's how it was!
Seeing Ye Feng's sharp gaze and Xie Ruolin, who was elegantly smiling and watching Ye Feng being beaten without caring, Zhang Mu suddenly understood.
This was all a trick!
Ye Feng, a king of soldiers, couldn't possibly be knocked down by his soft punch.
It was impossible!
So, it must be a pretense.
After all, even if Ye Feng were momentarily unaware and knocked down by him, Xie Ruolin, who was equally skilled, would never sit idly by while Ye Feng was being beaten.
After all, Xie Ruolin was the female lead!
These two are in cahoots.
They must be plotting something.
For example, they wanted to take this opportunity to have Xie Ruolin deceive his trust.
Lurking around him, as well as making him underestimate Ye Feng, the king of soldiers, and so on!
However, it must be said.
This protagonist, Ye Feng, really acted well.
And the female lead, Xie Ruolin, cooperated really well.
Thinking that their acting skills had already surpassed those of an Oscar-level actor, Zhang Mu couldn't help but give a thumbs-up to this male-female lead pair.
Since these two people have some kind of uncertain conspiracy against him, he decided to cooperate with them and pretend to be clueless.
He was fulfilling his duty as a vicious villain.
Although Zhang Mu had figured it out, he still acted like he didn't understand.
With a wild and villainous smile on his face, he cursed Ye Feng while pretending to kick him a few times.
He then even spat on Ye Feng's face a few times.
In Zhang Mu's eyes, this was enough to arouse Ye Feng's hatred.
But seeing this scene, Xie Ruolin, elegantly holding a wine glass and watching Ye Feng being beaten without caring, couldn't help but smile and shake her head slightly.
Living again in this life, and he was still kind, wasn't he?
