Chapter 95
“Eh … please take your leave!”
Ji Haoyue didn’t expect for Xiao Chen to thank him in such a serious manner and was stunned for a moment. When Xiao Chen was about to walk out of the door, Ji Haoyue snapped back to reality and pretended to send him off.
“How can this person leave without saying a word to me?
Why is his enthusiasm for me gone all of a sudden? ”
Liu Ruyue stood up and watched as Xiao Chen’s grim figure disappeared while she muttered helplessly in her heart. She felt that she still didn’t understand Xiao Chen, and this mysterious man, Xiao Chen, tickled her heart.
Ji Chenggong, Situ Nan, and the other clans’ Patriarchs quietly looked at the door. They were expressionless, but their eyes were frighteningly bright. No one knew what they were thinking.
All the young masters and ladies had different expressions on their faces. Some were sneering, some were contemplating, some were despising, some were surprised, and some were admiring.
A moment later, the various Patriarchs led their men to thank Ji Chenggong and bid their farewells. Ji Chenggong was smiling bitterly in his heart, but he still had to pretend to smile and send them off.
A perfectly fine and harmonious banquet had been ruined beyond recognition by the appearance of Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen might not have made a move, but his reputation had increased drastically.
It didn’t matter if his reputation was good or bad. To be able to intimidate and toy with the Sha Clan’s Second Elder, Sha Pohu, and four elite young masters and ladies in front of all the major and minor figures in the Emperor City, this courage and boldness wasn’t something anyone could achieve.
…
Time passed by quickly, and it was already two days since the Ji Clan’s banquet.
Ji Clan, Patriarch Su Diguo’s study room. Right now, a middle-aged fatty and an absolutely beautiful young lady were seated. They were none other than Su Diguo and Su Qingyi.
Su Diguo was still the same as before with an oily face and full of energy. Su Qingyi, on the other hand, had a drastic change. She was obviously thinner, and her complexion didn’t look too good. There was a trace of melancholy, and she was no longer as confident as before.
After Su Diguo finished looking at the bill, he lifted his head and looked at Su Qingyi, who was looking at the documents. His eyes revealed a trace of heartache as he spoke amiably, “Qingyi, you have been working too hard these past few days and have gotten skinnier. Let Father handle the clan’s matters. Why don’t you rest for a few days?”
“Father, I’m fine. Currently, the family business is undergoing a huge adjustment. It must be arranged as soon as possible.” Su Qingyi replied without raising her head. Her voice was cold, just like her.
“Lord Patriarch!”
Just as Su Diguo was about to say something, Su Jianfei’s loud shout came from outside the door. His voice sounded extremely excited and agitated.
Su Diguo’s brows twitched as he replied, “Come in!”
A moment later, Su Jianfei walked into the study with large strides. His eyes swept across Su Qingyi’s delicate body without leaving a trace. He then looked at Su Diguo, who was looking at him, and spoke with respect, “Patriarch, there is news from Sha Di City. It is regarding Xiao Chen.”
“Oh?
Speak! “Su Diguo’s spirit was roused as he yelled out urgently.
Su Qingyi lifted her head and had an expectant expression as she waited for Su Jianfei to continue.
Su Jianfei naturally didn’t dare to be negligent and immediately reported in full detail, “A few days ago, Young Master Xiao Chen was ambushed by four high-class assassins in Sha Di City …”
“What?!”
Su Diguo and Su Qingyi exclaimed at the same time. Their expressions had a drastic change, and their eyes were filled with concern.
“Patriarch, Young Lady, you don’t have to worry. Xiao Chen didn’t suffer any injuries. Instead, he single-handedly killed the ace assassin and three gold medal assassins!” Su Jianfei saw the worried expression on Su Diguo and his daughter’s faces and quickly reported the fact that Xiao Chen was fine.
When Su Diguo and Su Qingyi heard that Xiao Chen was fine, they let out a breath of relief, and their expressions gradually returned to normal.
Su Diguo laughed and lamented, “Young Master Xiao Chen’s combat strength is indeed formidable. He actually killed a Blood Bear Realm assassin and three White Tiger Realm assassins by himself. Did the Sha Clan find out who hired the assassins?
Could it be the Yue Clan or the Xie Clan?
If it is the Xie Clan, then this matter is going to be interesting. Hehe! ”
“Reporting to Patriarch, Young Master Xiao Chen didn’t suspect the Yue Clan or the Xie Clan. The Yue Clan is almost exterminated and won’t be able to stir up any more waves. The Xie Clan can also be eliminated because the Xie Clan is trying their best to curry favor with Young Master Xiao Chen. On the day of the assassination, Xue Wuchang even gifted an absolute beauty to Xiao Chen. Why would they still hire assassins to deal with Young Master Xiao Chen?”
Su Jianfei summarized the information from the Su Clan’s scout and reported it while feeling a little pleased in his heart.
Su Diguo knitted his brows and squinted his eyes as he asked in a deep voice, “Curry favor with them?
Absolute beauty?
Xue Wuchang, what a great move!
Jianfei, did Young Master Xiao Chen accept it? ”
Su Qingyi’s expression changed again while her heart tightened up. She immediately comforted herself that Xiao Chen wasn’t a lecherous person. Otherwise, why wouldn’t Xiao Chen be tempted by her?
Su Qingyi was rather confident in her beauty, and it was evident from the way the young masters in the Blood Sun City looked at her.
“This subordinate isn’t sure if he accepted it or not, but the scout reported that the beauty that was gifted to Xiao Chen hasn’t been sent out of the Sha Clan yet. I reckon that Young Master Xiao Chen is still dealing with it, right?” Su Jianfei didn’t dare to be too certain as there wasn’t any concrete information.
“En, I got it.”
Su Diguo’s expression was gloomy while his eyes flickered. He responded indifferently and paused for a moment. He sensed that Su Jianfei seemed to have something else to say and continued to ask, “Is there any other information regarding Xiao Chen? Can you tell me everything at once?”
When Su Qingyi heard Su Jianfei’s answer, she felt a little bitter in her heart and sighed silently. It seems like Xiao Chen truly doesn’t like me.
“Yes!
Clan Head, there are two other pieces of information regarding Young Master Xiao Chen. Firstly … “Su Jianfei didn’t dare to keep Su Diguo in suspense and reported everything that was going on in Sha Di City. It was about the grudges between Xiao Chen, the Ji Clan, the Situ Clan, and the Sha Clan.
After listening to Su Jianfei’s report, Su Diguo and Su Qingyi were astonished. They didn’t expect that Xiao Chen had only been in Sha Di City for a month and had stirred up such a huge commotion in Sha Di City, nearly causing a huge commotion in Sha Di City.
The two of them lamented in their hearts: The Blood Sun City was already destroyed by Xiao Chen for a month, and the entire city was in chaos. Could it be that Xiao Chen was going to eliminate the Ji Clan and the Situ Clan, too?
Could Xiao Chen really be the bane that Sha Di City mentioned?
At this moment, Su Diguo’s eyes were frighteningly bright as he spoke with excitement, “Young Master Xiao Chen is truly a ferocious individual!
No matter where he goes, he is always so callous and overbearing. Qingyi, the cause of this matter seems to be because Xiao Chen became enemies with the Ji Clan and the Situ Clan in order to save you, which resulted in a series of major incidents!
Haha!
It seems like my daughter’s charm isn’t shallow!
Xiao Chen might have you in his heart, haha! ”
When Su Qingyi heard Su Diguo’s ridicule, she didn’t have any expression of joy. Instead, she began to reveal a dense expression of worry. She knitted her brows and said, “Father, it is dangerous for Xiao Chen to stay in Sha Di City!
Offending the Ji Clan and the Situ Clan doesn’t have anything to do with him because he has the protection of the Sha Clan. However, Xiao Chen actually offended the Sha Clan’s elders and other young masters. This isn’t a good sign!
If Xiao Chen were to fight with the Sha Clan, the one who would suffer would be Xiao Chen! ”
“This …” Su Diguo stared blankly for a moment and muttered to himself. After he sorted out the sequence of events, he couldn’t laugh anymore and spoke in a stern tone, “Qingyi, what you said is very reasonable. Xiao Chen’s temperament is indeed wild and hard to tame. Not many people could endure it. If he were to really cause a huge commotion in the Sha Clan, even if he has the bloodline of the Sha Clan, he would definitely be punished severely. He might even be chased out of the Sha Clan or directly killed. The Sha Clan is a vicious and merciless clan!”
“I hope he will be safe and sound. Sigh.”
Su Qingyi looked towards the direction of Sha Di City and prayed for Xiao Chen in her heart. She basically couldn’t help Xiao Chen, neither could the Su Clan.
