Chapter 997: Chapter 997: Uncle, Please Help
Xiao Meng still wanted to feign ignorance and retorted, "We did not use magic power."
Mr. Yan Fei’s smile grew colder, and his tone carried a faint hint of mockery, "Young lady, although I’m just a High-level Magic Spirit, no tricks or movements in this venue can escape my eyes."
Xiao Meng’s heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly used her Divine Sense to observe; Mr. Yan Fei indeed radiated a strong red aura.
This left her somewhat disheartened. Despite the two-tier level gap, even if he couldn’t pinpoint her exact location after she used the Invisible Grass, he was capable of catching a trace of light and shadow, and could deduce her approximate trajectory from it.
Thus, her invisibility while teaching that guard named Ah Hu a lesson was not entirely undetected.
At this time, Ms. Mengyan and others inside the VIP sales area also noticed something amiss and charged over furiously.
"Mr. Yan Fei, these two wicked women actually dared to attack my guard; I must teach them a lesson!" Ms. Mengyan pointed at Qin Sisi and Xiao Meng, her eyes filled with rage as she spoke.
Although she wouldn’t be upset over a guard being beaten a couple of times, beating a dog depends on the owner. Defying her guard was clearly a challenge to her authority.
Ms. Mengyan’s disrespectful words instantly infuriated Xiao Meng, and just as she was about to retort, she was stopped by Qin Sisi.
Qin Sisi patted Xiao Meng’s shoulder, signaling her to stay calm.
Mr. Yan Fei is a High-level Magic Spirit; they were definitely no match for him. Ms. Mengyan isn’t much of an issue, being just a Low-Level Magic Instructor, but among her four guards are an Intermediate Magic Teacher, a High-level Magic Teacher, and even a Low-level Magic Star.
Considering the formidable strength of their opponents, a direct confrontation was out of the question; they could only try reasoning.
Qin Sisi chose to reason with Mr. Yan Fei because she sensed that Ms. Mengyan, much like Miss Ya Ling, was unlikely to be receptive to reason.
"Mr. Yan Fei, since you said that no tricks or movements within this venue can escape your eyes, did you happen to see that I almost got pushed over?" Qin Sisi asked gently, her expression calm.
Yan Fei was stunned for a moment, not expecting Qin Sisi to raise such a question.
He indeed saw Qin Sisi almost being pushed over, but he didn’t want to offend Ms. Mengyan for an insignificant person, so he chose to turn a blind eye.
However, later on, Xiao Meng provoked Ah Hu, and during that time, she activated the Invisible Grass with her magical power.
It is explicitly stipulated on the flying device that passengers are not allowed to use magical power during the flight.
That’s why Yan Fei stepped in to stop Qin Sisi and Xiao Meng. Even if he didn’t punish them, a warning was inevitable.
This question truly put Yan Fei in a difficult spot. If he said he didn’t see it, his previous statements would be as meaningless as flatulence; if he admitted seeing it, it would mean that Ms. Mengyan’s people bullied Qin Sisi first, and they were merely retaliating.
Before Yan Fei figured out how to respond, Ms. Mengyan had already blurted out, "So what if I pushed you? Daring to hit my people, you really are courting death!"
Yan Fei frowned and felt like cursing inside. If it wasn’t for Ms. Mengyan being particularly generous every time she shopped here, he would genuinely want to throw her out.
He hadn’t decided yet how to settle the matter of Ms. Mengyan’s guard pushing Qin Sisi, but the lady had already admitted to it herself.
Qin Sisi gritted her teeth and pretended not to hear Ms. Mengyan’s shouting, focusing solely on Yan Fei. However, her gaze inevitably grew colder, like two chilling stars twinkling on a deep winter night.
Although Yan Fei was annoyed, he still asked Ms. Mengyan politely, "Ms. Mengyan, how do you plan to handle this?"
Ms. Mengyan snorted and said, "She slapped my guard twice, so let my guard return four slaps to her, to teach her a proper lesson and let her know who she can and cannot provoke."
"You dare!" Xiao Meng could no longer hold back.
She did not like to provoke trouble, but she believed in retaliation. After all, she was a proud daughter of the Clan Leader of the Muyin family; how could she allow someone to slap her face randomly?
Ms. Mengyan scoffed and said, "Don’t I dare? Ah Hu, go!"
Ah Hu had been eyeing the one who had slapped him, waiting for the opportunity. At his master’s command, he pounced toward Xiao Meng like a fierce tiger.
As Qin Sisi moved to intercept Ah Hu, she saw Xiao Meng agilely jump behind Yan Fei, prompting her to pause her actions.
Ah Hu charged ferociously, and even though he realized he was about to confront Yan Fei, it was too late to stop. His large body directly crashed into Yan Fei.
Yan Fei’s expression changed, and instinctively, he flipped his palm to form a magic shield in front of himself.
The strength of a Magic Spirit is not comparable to that of a magic teacher. Ah Hu collided heavily with the shield, and with a loud "thud," he was bounced back, flying several meters backward before crashing to the ground, resulting in a loud thump.
Ms. Mengyan watched in shock and angrily shouted at Yan Fei, "Mr. Yan Fei, what is going on? Why did you attack my man?"
Yan Fei waved his hands repeatedly, continuously explaining, "It’s a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding, I absolutely didn’t mean to."
Xiao Meng peeked out from behind Yan Fei, grinning cheekily, "It wasn’t unintentional, it was deliberate."
"You... let go of my clothes now!" Yan Fei, infuriated, puffed his cheeks and glared as he yelled fiercely at Xiao Meng.
Xiao Meng clung to Yan Fei’s clothes and coquettishly said, "Uncle, your backside is the safest place, please help me!"
Yan Fei didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He could easily shake off Xiao Meng with a little bit of magic power, but on the flying device, he had to abide by the rules which prevent the arbitrary use of magic power unless it involved behavior endangering the safety of the flying device.
He could justify using his magic power to form a shield and send Ah Hu flying as self-defense, but if he used magic power on Xiao Meng, who hadn’t attacked him, it would be hard to explain, and the owner would certainly punish him.
Ms. Mengyan initially thought this minor issue would be quickly resolved, but it turned out to be more troublesome. Frustrated, she stomped her foot. Seeing that Xiao Meng was temporarily out of her reach, she suddenly pointed at Qin Sisi and ordered her other three guards, "Go, capture her for me!"
"Yes!" The three guards responded in unison, then collectively moved toward Qin Sisi.
Among these three guards, one was an Intermediate Magic Teacher, one was a High-level Magic Teacher, and one was a Low-level Magic Star. Together, they were opponents Qin Sisi could not possibly defeat.
Qin Sisi’s face darkened, surprised that Ms. Mengyan would act so recklessly and that Yan Fei did not seem to intend to stop her.
If these guards only used brute force without employing magic power, it probably would not count as a violation of the regulations.
