Zhang Xiaoshan's gaze, however, carried a hint of coldness as he looked at Cheng Peng.

He understood clearly that this person was deliberately finding fault.

After all, the ticket counter at Mirror Lake Villa displayed the logos of almost all banks, yet the other person said his card couldn't be used.

Even though he explained to the other person the significance of the card, Cheng Peng insisted on finding fault.

Immediately, Zhang Xiaoshan didn't bother explaining anymore, but spoke directly:

"Are you determined not to let me in today, no matter what?"

"Even if I use cash to buy a ticket, you would still have something to say?"

Zhang Xiaoshan's words were very straightforward.

Across from him, Cheng Peng, who had been wearing a mocking smile all along, unexpectedly nodded seriously and said:

"You're right. You and this young lady are indeed not suitable to enter the villa."

Since Zhang Xiaoshan had already pierced through the thin veil, Cheng Peng naturally didn't need to be courteous anymore.

This time, he had the second young lady of the Ma family, Ma Jingyi, backing him up, so it was perfectly fine to bully Ma Tong's friends.

Although Ma Tong was the eldest young lady of the Ma family, she had no status or position in the family.

Birds of a feather flock together.

Ma Tong's friends certainly wouldn't be anything formidable.

As Cheng Peng's group argued here, they attracted quite a few onlookers.

After hearing Cheng Peng's words earlier, everyone understood that Zhang Xiaoshan and Lin Miaomiao wouldn't be able to enter Mirror Lake Villa today.

Some who knew the Ma family's inside story understood even better.

Most likely, this was Ma family's second young lady Ma Jingyi, targeting Ma Tong.

As the crowd thought about what Zhang Xiaoshan would do next, Zhang Xiaoshan spoke again.

"Are you openly admitting to bullying?"

Cheng Peng sneered coldly and then said:

"I'm openly admitting to bullying you, and what can you do about it?"

Zhang Xiaoshan's patience was running thin due to Cheng Peng, but he decided to give Cheng Peng one last chance.

"I'm giving you one last chance. Move aside now; I'm not someone you can afford to offend."

Zhang Xiaoshan's tone was exceedingly calm, yet he was stating an undeniable fact.

Cheng Peng, after hearing this, sneered several times and said:

"Humph!"

"I know you are a martial artist!"

"Earlier, my subordinate Zhao Xing was caught off guard and you got the better of him!"

"Since you've come to Mirror Lake Villa seeking trouble, I won't let you leave unscathed!"

"The people of Xingsheng Group, even those on the periphery, are not ones you can humiliate!"

"Watch my fist!"

This time, Cheng Peng obviously found an even more far-fetched excuse.

After all, Zhao Xing was no good, and the incident between Zhao Xing and Zhang Xiaoshan was truthfully relayed to Cheng Peng.

Knowing Zhao Xing was at fault, yet using this event as an excuse was indeed laughable.

The crowd watching was shocked when Cheng Peng made his move.

"Cheng Peng actually made a move on a guest, this young fellow is in trouble!"

After this person spoke, others immediately chimed in.

"Indeed, Cheng Peng at Mirror Lake Villa is a Gang Qi expert, incredibly formidable."

"Even though this young fellow might be a martial artist, he's at most a Qi Condensing Martial Artist, far inferior to Cheng Peng."

As the crowd discussed, an unexpected scene unfolded.

"Boom!"

A dull sound suddenly echoed.

When Cheng Peng made his move against Zhang Xiaoshan earlier, Zhang Xiaoshan didn't even budge, merely cast a glance.

With that glance, he completely suppressed Cheng Peng!

His overwhelming and grand aura was like Mount Buzhou, abruptly suppressing Cheng Peng.

The Bull Trampling Mountain technique Cheng Peng unleashed turned him into a bloodied figure under this terrifying backlash.

The surrounding crowd didn't even know what happened, as Cheng Peng was blown away like a kite with a broken string!

"Hiss—"

This scene was too shocking!

Lin Miaomiao and Ma Tong were fine, as they had seen Zhang Xiaoshan casually suppress Du Biao before.

However, the others around Mirror Lake Villa were instantly stunned!

"What's going on?"

"What just happened?"

"Cheng Peng is a Middle Stage Gang Qi expert!"

"How did he get severely injured without even touching the opponent's clothes?"

"Is this person a great curse master specializing in Divine Thought?"

Those who came to Mirror Lake Villa for the Martial Arts Trade Fair weren't ordinary people.

They also knew about the special cultivators who specialized in refining Divine Thought.

After suppressing Cheng Peng with just a thought, Zhang Xiaoshan leisurely walked toward Cheng Peng.

Seeing Zhang Xiaoshan approach, the previously arrogant Cheng Peng was suddenly terrified.

However, considering this was the Ma family's Mirror Lake Villa, he became furiously enraged again:

"You're courting death!"

"This is the Ma family's Mirror Lake Villa. If you dare to injure the Ma family's subordinates here, it's the greatest provocation against Ning State's Ma family!"

"Try to touch me if you dare!"

Despite fearing Zhang Xiaoshan's immense strength,

he believed that given this was the headquarters of Ning State's Ma family, Zhang Xiaoshan wouldn't dare do anything to him.
