Scare!

"Yeah, Pavilion Master Chen just pulled out the contract and canceled it back then. It was so baffling..."

Lai Fu came to a realization.

Beside him, Chang Wei and "You Wei" exchanged glances. Their faces soon filled with concern as one of them spoke up.

"How about we go take a look too?"

"I'm afraid if we head back now, we'll run right into Pavilion Master Chen Ding's line of fire."

Lai Fu blinked and looked at "You Wei." "What do you think?"

"You Wei" nodded in firm agreement.

"Although we're on rotation break and don't have any guard duty assigned."

"The fact that so many people are surrounding Beaconfire Wild Hall is enough to show that Pavilion Master Chen Ding is really angry."

"If we get caught, we definitely won't get off easy!"

"We might as well go take a look. We're only there to make up the numbers, anyway. If Pavilion Master Chen Ding asks, we'll have an explanation ready."

After pondering for a moment, Lai Fu nodded. "Makes sense!"

The three immediately hit it off, turned around at once, and hurried toward Beaconfire Wild Hall in the outer city...

Outside the city.

Beaconfire Wild Hall, Chen Family Domain branch.

Zhu Houcai had just brewed a pot of fine tea and was preparing to savor it when a commotion downstairs suddenly caught his attention.

Leaning out the window, he saw a large group of Chen family members flooding the distant street.

Each one looked aggressive, rubbing their fists and flexing their muscles.

They looked as if they were about to cause someone trouble.

"Early in the morning, and the Chen family already swallowed gunpowder? Why are they so worked up?"

"Wonder which outer-city family was blind enough to provoke those lunatics. This should be entertaining..."
