Chapter 963 – Effect, killing the chicken to scare the monkeys

Listening to the servant’s report, Xie Qiyi’s face couldn’t help but darken a few shades, and his eyes were filled with a puzzled expression.

“Yuan Family? Why would the Yuan Family get involved in this matter?”

Over the years, there had been no shortage of conflicts between the Xie family and the Yuan family. Could it be that the Yuan family was intentionally causing trouble?

“According to what the cultivators from the Yuan family said, those two, Di Beichen and the others, are friends of Yuan Hongyang, the second young master of the Yuan family. So, they have been obstructing us all along.”

Xie Qiyi sneered, “Friends? If they are really friends, why don’t they go find those two instead of just hindering us? In my opinion, they deliberately want to make us unhappy with this incident! They want to take advantage of this opportunity to make the Xie family lose face. Let’s see if they have the capability!”

Upon learning that the Yuan family had also intervened in the matter, the faces of the Xie family members turned unpleasant. This was an issue between the Xie family and the outsiders; the Yuan family shouldn’t be interfering, making the problem even more complicated.

In this situation, the Xie family members were even more determined not to let those two individuals off easily.

This situation completely exceeded Xie Honglang’s expectations. It seemed that troubles were emerging one after another, and calming things down was proving to be quite difficult.

The actions of the Yuan family didn’t escape the eyes of the people in Yuanwu City. Upon seeing the Yuan family’s involvement, the expressions of the onlookers became more intrigued.

“Originally, it was a matter between the Xie family and those two outsiders. I didn’t expect the Yuan family to get involved. It seems like this has evolved into a conflict between the Xie family and the Yuan family.”

“I heard those two are friends of the second young master of the Yuan family, so the Yuan family intervened.”

“Do you believe that? If they were really friends of the second young master of the Yuan family, why didn’t they go back to the Yuan family and instead chose to eat at the restaurant?”

At these words, the crowd fell into silence.

As someone pointed out, they hadn’t seen the second young master of the Yuan family with the couple. Perhaps, this was just an excuse the Yuan family had made up.

When Di Beichen and Baili Hongzhuang returned to the restaurant to eat, they faintly overheard these conversations. The lively crowd fell silent upon seeing them.

They knew how difficult it was to deal with Baili Hongzhuang and Di Beichen, especially considering what had happened to Xie Honglang. They were afraid that they might end up dead if they provoked them.

Seeing the hushed reactions, Baili Hongzhuang paid no mind. She was indifferent to what others thought. Her stay in Yuanwu City was solely for the auction.

“Master, it seems those two guys you disciplined last time have quite a remarkable status in Yuanwu City. The intimidation worked quite well.”

Xiao Hei’s eyes gleamed with excitement and pride. It seemed to enjoy this feeling; now, no one would dare to trouble them.

Baili Hongzhuang nodded slightly, “You can rest assured and enjoy your meal. No one will disturb you again.”

“That’s great! Now, I’m afraid no one in the entire Yuanwu City would dare to offend us easily,” Xiao Bai laughed.

A faint smile played on Baili Hongzhuang’s lips as she and Di Beichen headed towards the second floor.

If they continued to eat in the hall, the whole place would probably fall into silence.

However, just as Baili Hongzhuang and Di Beichen walked towards the second floor, a familiar voice reached their ears.
