Yang Jie was not someone who would make things difficult for others. Since Liang Shaopeng could lower himself to apologize to him, he would naturally give him a way out.
“It’s good that Brother Liang can distinguish right from wrong,” Yang Jie said slowly, but he didn’t forget to remind him. “This isn’t the first time your Zhenhua has provoked my Longxing. I won’t be calculative towards these juniors, but as their master, I hope that Brother Liang will discipline them strictly.”
“That’s for sure. Brother Yang, don’t worry. I’ll discipline them well when I get back,” Liang Shaopeng said in accordance with Yang Jie’s words. His shrewd eyes rolled as he said, “I hope Brother Yang won’t take issue with what happened today. We’re neighbors, after all. Don’t hurt our relationship because of this misunderstanding. Don’t mention it again, okay?”
The meaning in Liang Shaopeng’s words was obvious. He hinted that Yang Jie should not mention this to anyone anymore.
After all, in the current environment of Baiyun City’s martial arts schools, it was not honorable to be dealt with by people from Longxing.
Liang Shaopeng could not afford to lose face.
Yang Jie snorted in his heart, but he said, “Don’t worry, I, Yang Jie, am not a talkative person.”
Liang Shaopeng trusted Yang Jie’s character quite a bit. Hearing his words, he was relieved. “Alright, I won’t disturb your practice. I’ll treat Brother Yang to a drink when I have time.”
Yang Jie naturally refused to respond to such polite words. He only said these words coldly, “I won’t see you out.”
Liang Shaopeng looked embarrassed, but he nodded and left with his disciples.
“Did you fight with them?”
As soon as the other party left, Lin Yi leaned forward curiously and asked Jian Ai. His handsome eyebrows were furrowed with worry.
“This can’t be considered a fight, right? I’m just teaching the other party a lesson for speaking rudely.” Jian Ai didn’t take this matter to heart. Besides, it was called a fight if they exchanged blows. At most, hers would be considered a one-sided abuse.
“How dangerous!” Lin Yi couldn’t help but worry. Fortunately, Jian Ai didn’t suffer because of this.
“Junior Brother Lin Yi, with us around, we won’t let Junior Sister suffer. Don’t worry!” Yu Yue stood to the side and couldn’t help but smile.
“All of you, come over!”
At this moment, Yang Jie suddenly stood in the yard and called out to everyone.
Seeing this, everyone quickly surrounded him.
His gaze landed on Jian Ai, and Yang Jie asked for confirmation, “Xiao Ai, did you really only kick the other party that day?”
Jian Ai nodded without hesitation. “Master, everyone was present at that time. They also had a few people. There’s no need to lie about such a thing. It will be exposed on the spot.”
Hearing this, Yang Jie couldn’t help but nod gently.
Since it was just a kick, the other party shouldn’t have been hospitalized because of Xiao Ai.
Perhaps he had eaten something bad.
“Master once instructed you not to cause trouble, but that doesn’t mean that you have to be indifferent and let others trample on your dignity when you are being insulted.” Yang Jie’s gaze swept past a few disciples indifferently and he said, “We martial artists have to have backbone. When it’s time to resist, there’s no need to be soft-hearted. Enduring will only cause things to become worse. Although my Long Xing is no longer famous, I haven’t reached the extent of being a coward!”
“Disciple will remember Master’s teachings,” everyone answered in unison.
Seeing this, Yang Jie nodded in satisfaction. After a while, he sighed slightly and looked at them. “I have something to tell you..”
