It seems this woman really has run into big trouble!

Ye Xuan's eyes flickered slightly. This Wang Shaoyang is probably no simple character, likely of considerable background, undoubtedly stronger than Jianghai's Liu Family, and perhaps even more formidable than that Mr. Zhou I once encountered in Shangjing!

After all, when facing Zhou Yanbin, Liu Ying could still maintain her composure, indicating she wasn't too afraid of him. But when facing this Wang Shaoyang, Ye Xuan saw a strong sense of dread and a hint of fear in her eyes.

I wonder what this guy's background is? To make Liu Ying, who fears nothing, feel trepidation, to the point of seeking my help!

Ye Xuan felt curious for a moment, and he couldn't help but scrutinize Wang Shaoyang a few more times.

And at this moment, it seemed the other party noticed and turned his gaze over, starting to observe Ye Xuan.

Before he came here, he had already investigated thoroughly. It was said that Liu Ying seemed to have a romantic interest. Could this guy in front of him be the one?

I wonder what his background is to have won Liu Ying's heart? When I get back, I'll have someone investigate thoroughly. I, Wang Shaoyang, can't let the woman I fancy be stolen by someone else!

Ye Xuan withdrew his gaze and turned to Liu Ying, asking, "Miss Liu, who the hell is this cocky guy, and why has he pissed you off?"

Although he already had some suspicions in his mind, Ye Xuan still wanted to confirm them to avoid any misjudgment!

"This guy's name is Wang Shaoyang. He's someone with his nose in the air, full of himself, and sticks to me like glue. He's been pestering me to death these past few days!"

Liu Ying replied, showing a face full of disgust, then coquettishly wrapped her arms around Ye Xuan's, speaking in a spoiled tone:

"Darling, hurry and drive away this fly for me! I'm so annoyed by him, I don't want to see him even for a moment."

"Alright..."

Ye Xuan had just agreed when Wang Shaoyang walked up, rudely interrupting him.

"Hehe, Miss Liu, I was born extraordinary, superior to others! Why would I need to pretend? You're speaking incorrectly!"

Wang Shaoyang displayed a proud smile, showing no humility at all.

After speaking, he directly fixed his gaze on Ye Xuan, looking at him arrogantly: "Kid, who do you think you are to dare touch the woman I have my eye on?"

"Your woman?"

Ye Xuan shook his head, speaking indifferently: "And who the hell are you? Shouldn't you introduce yourself before asking about others' identities? Seems like your elementary school teacher didn't teach you well... Oh, by the way, did you even graduate elementary school?"

Huh? Wang Shaoyang squinted his eyes; no one had ever spoken to him with such an attitude. This kid is audacious to the extreme!

However, would a lion, the king of the forest, bother with an ant's attitude? Certainly not—it would lower its own status.

Wang Shaoyang smirked, tilting his nose up at Ye Xuan, showcasing his utter arrogance: "Kid, remember it's your honor when I ask your identity! And you, you can only answer my questions, not qualify to know my identity. Understood?"

Ye Xuan looked at him speechlessly.

That gaze was as if looking at an idiot!

I've seen arrogant people, but none as arrogant as this one. Did this guy escape from a mental hospital? How dare he boast so bravely in front of me!?

It seems it's been too long since I've roamed the world, and now no one remembers my name. These young folks today are just too restless!

"As it happens, I return your words to you! Unheard-of riffraff like you don't deserve to know my identity either."

Ye Xuan shrugged lightly, retorting with equal sarcasm.

Even though he didn't know Wang Shaoyang's background, regardless of who he is, Ye Xuan would not back down. If this guy wanted to cause trouble, he'd go along with him all the way!

Upon hearing this, Wang Shaoyang's eyes flashed dangerously, and his gaze towards Ye Xuan grew increasingly colder.

Initially, he was only hostile toward Ye Xuan because of Liu Ying, but now Ye Xuan had completely ignited his fury!

This guy has repeatedly disrespected him, mocking him right to his face. Does he really consider himself important? Such audacity!

"I advise you to mind your mouth, watch your words, and be careful not to bring trouble on yourself!"

Wang Shaoyang's voice turned chilling.

"Is that so? But I just happen to not fall for this! Whoever's tough with me, I'll be tougher! Whoever acts big in front of me, I'll slap him in the face until he dares no more!" Ye Xuan replied casually.

Liu Ying clung to Ye Xuan's arm, stepped forward, and interjected: "Prince Wang, put away your overly confident demeanor. My man here doesn't fall for your act!"

She wore a radiant smile, exuding a relaxed, carefree demeanor.

Since discovering Wang Shaoyang's identity a few days ago, she felt like a rock had been pressing on her chest, leaving her restless day and night!

Only now, nestled in Ye Xuan's arms, did her heart truly relax. Although Wang Shaoyang has an influential background and hails from that powerful family in Shangjing, she remains full of confidence in Ye Xuan.

In this world, it seems there's nothing this man can't accomplish. As long as Ye Xuan steps in to help her, he can definitely chase away this annoying fly, Wang Shaoyang.

Seeing the intimate expressions between the two, playing off each other right in front of him, Wang Shaoyang's expression darkened. Never had anyone ever underestimated him like this!

"Hmph! Ignorant fool, no harm in telling you. Open your ears wide—I'm from the Wang Family in Shangjing, Wang Shaoyang!"

With a cold snort, Wang Shaoyang looked at Ye Xuan with an indifferent gaze, his voice filled with immense pride as he proudly held up his chin.

Wang Shaoyang's words were brief yet clarified everything. The four words 'Wang Family of Shangjing' spoke for themselves!

In Yan Country, anyone with some status and insight would have at least heard of the Wang Family in Shangjing, understanding what it signifies.

He believes that if Ye Xuan is indeed someone of status, he would understand how prestigious he is from those four words. Thus, those words alone suffice; no further explanation is needed.

"Wang Family of Shangjing?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan indeed raised an eyebrow.

As Wang Shaoyang had speculated, he certainly knew about this family!

Because the Wang Family of Shangjing is a superfamily renowned just like the Ye Family, a colossal presence in Yan Country. Unexpectedly, Wang Shaoyang actually came from this Wang Family of Shangjing, something Ye Xuan hadn't anticipated.

But that was all there was to it. Aside from a bit of surprise at Wang Shaoyang's identity, Ye Xuan felt nothing more.

Seeing the astonishment on Ye Xuan's face, Wang Shaoyang's pride grew even more pronounced.

Every time he announced the name of the Wang Family, he could witness immense shock and fear in his opponent's expression! And he believed he would soon see this from Ye Xuan as well.

However, Wang Shaoyang only guessed halfway correctly. Ye Xuan indeed knew about the existence of the Wang Family and their massive influence.

But the Wang Family, ranked among the top five families in Shangjing, may be on par with the Ye Family! Yet Ye Xuan doesn't even hold the Ye Family in high regard, let alone this Wang Family?

Therefore, Wang Shaoyang was bound to fail in his vain boast!
