But his student, Chu Yue, clearly did not understand what he meant.

Her phoenix eyes were slightly raised, and the corners of her eyes naturally curved up into a sharp arc. When she spoke, her voice was always much louder than those of ordinary people. “The reason why my teacher arrived late this time was that he didn’t know in advance that the person in charge of receiving them had been changed to your Shi family at the last minute. He went back and got someone to verify if someone had done something behind his back.”

These words were a little harsh.

However, Shi Zhong nodded seriously and said, “Yes, we should investigate carefully. 1 don’t dare to think too highly of myself, but even if I’m humble, our Shi family’s strength is obvious in the entire G City. However, for some reason, only the Lin family has this honor to receive all the leaders in the past.”

The expressions of Chu Yue and Lu Jun changed. Just as the two of them were about to fall out, they heard Shi Zhong continue to smile and say, “The leaders are good at governing the army, but I’m afraid they don’t know very much about business. In the end, our Shi family didn’t have this honor in the past. Fortunately, after our Shi family’s tireless efforts, we finally managed to invite the three leaders to our house.”

Chu Yue glared at him as if she did not take him seriously. Her gaze shifted slightly to Shi Man, and her eyes were filled with interest. “You must be Miss Shi, right? I often hear people mention you in the capital.”

Shi Man nodded coldly. She didn’t want to say much to her, but Shi Zhong kept giving her a look.

She could only cough dryly and add awkwardly, “Mention what about me?”

Only when Chu Yue had a way out could she continue speaking.

She laughed heroically and leaned forward slightly with one hand on the arm of the sofa. “They said that you beat up your mistress at your engagement party and are extraordinary, but when 1 saw you today, I only felt that you were thin and weak. That’s all. Sure enough, rumors are rumors.”

Shi Man looked up slightly and said calmly, “Instructor Chu is from the army. Of course, I’m still far inferior to you.”

Chu Yue narrowed her eyes slightly. She remembered that she had received news from G City that Shi Man was an irritable, brainless, and willful young lady. However, she had already mocked her so obviously just now, but this person’s expression did not change. It was indeed a little unexpected.

She glanced at Lu Jun from the corner of her eye. Seeing that he did not react, she turned to Shi Man again and said provocatively, “Miss Shi, it’s meaningless to be too humble. We don’t like people who know how to talk.”

Shi Man looked at her calmly. “Then what do you want?”

Chu Yue stood up and casually took out the dagger at her waist. She put away the scabbard and threw it to Shi Man.

Shen Xian was so frightened that her face turned pale. Seeing that the knife was about to fly toward her daughter, she hurriedly screamed and stood up to block it.

Chu Yue seemed to have thrown it casually, but she used a lot of strength. If she could not dodge this time, the tip of the knife would definitely injure someone. At best, it would be an insignificant small wound, and at worst, there might be blood.

Chu Yue’s action was to scare Shi Man and intimidate the Shi family. She wanted them to know how unwise it was to snatch the Lin family’s business this time!

Shen Xian did not have any technique to speak of in this block. It was just an instinctive reaction of a mother who was worried about her daughter. Seeing the tip of the knife getting closer and closer to her, time seemed to have frozen at this moment.

She closed her eyes in resignation. The pain she imagined did not come as expected.

After waiting for a long time, when Shen Xian was finally sure that she would be fine, she dared to open her eyes, wanting to see what had just happened.

Unexpectedly, when she opened her eyes, she saw her daughter standing upright in front of her.

From her angle, she could only see Shi Man’s back. It dawned on her that it was Shi Man who took the dagger for her. In an instant, heartache and fear assaulted her, making her face turn pale.

Shen Xian hurriedly went forward and hugged Shi Man’s shoulder. She lowered her head in a panic to check on her injuries. Only then did she realize that the handle of the knife was held firmly in Shi Man’s hand. The tip of the knife flickered with a silver light in Chu Yue’s direction.

She looked up at her daughter again and realized that Shi Man’s expression was so cold that it could freeze someone. Her eyes were filled with killing intent.

Just now, Shi Man did not take Chu Yue’s provocation seriously at all. She was confident that she could dodge the knife and not be injured, but she did not expect Shen Xian to stand up at the critical moment and stand in front of her resolutely.

Shi Man’s breathing stopped for a moment. In a flash, she did not have time to think too much. She jumped in front of Shen Xian and stood steadily in front of her, taking the dagger.

She casually threw the dagger and let it fall to the ground. Her eyes flickered and the murderous intent in her eyes had already disappeared. She smiled faintly and said, “Did Instructor Chu’s hand slip? It’s better to hold your weapon tightly.”

All of them could see Shi Man’s actions clearly. Lu Jun couldn’t help but sit up straight, and his expression suddenly darkened.. “Who did you learn your skills from just now?”
