"This is the effect we want." Lu Heng took a sip of wine and smiled.
"When a person spends a night in fear and anxiety, his psychological defenses will be as fragile as a piece of paper.
We will talk to him tomorrow, and he will be what he says, and he will be what we say."
Ya Fei shook his head helplessly, turned to the maid and ordered:
"Did you hear that? Just do what Master Lu said.
Please be polite and don't let people think that we are bullying others. Just say... I am tired from taking stock today and really don't have the energy to meet guests."
The maid took the order and quickly retreated.
Gate.
Jia Lie Bi has been standing in the cold wind for a quarter of an hour.
To him, this quarter of an hour is longer than a year.
Every second, he wondered whether the mysterious boy was sharpening his knife, or whether Ya Fei was writing a letter to mobilize Imperial Capital's strong men to destroy his entire family.
Finally, footsteps sounded.
Jia Lie Bi looked up suddenly, and before the hope in his eyes could fully bloom, he saw only the maid walking out.
"Jia Lie patriarch."
The maid bowed slightly, with a standard professional smile on her face.
"I'm really sorry. Miss Ya Fei worked too hard today and has taken a break. As you know, a woman's home takes care of herself the most, so you don't dare to disturb her at this time."
Jia Lie Bi's face twitched violently.
Take a break?
Just now he saw the bright lights in the backyard, and occasionally he could hear chatter and laughter coming from inside.
This is obviously because I don't want to see him!
It's a show of force!
But does he dare to get angry?
He didn't dare.
At that moment, Jia Lie Bi felt a sense of humiliation in his heart, but was soon suppressed by greater fear.
Since we just let him go back instead of asking him to be beaten out directly, it shows that there is still room for maneuver in the matter.
"It's because I didn't think carefully and was too abrupt."
Jia Lie Bi took a deep breath and swallowed the bitterness that reached his mouth back into his stomach.
"In that case, I will come back tomorrow. Please tell Miss Ya Fei that Jia Lie Bi is here with 100% sincerity. I just want... I just want to apologize to you in person."
After saying that, he hugged the heavy brocade box again and turned around and walked into the night.
That back figure looks desolate no matter how you look at it.
Naturally, this scene did not escape the eyes hidden in the darkness on the street corner.
"Quick! Go back and report to the clan leader! Jia Lie Bi was rejected, but still went with the gift box!"
"It seems that Jia Lie Family really hit the wall this time!"
Several black shadows quickly dispersed and sped away in the direction of the Xiao Family and Aoba Clan respectively.
This night, for some people in Wutan City, is destined to be sleepless.
Jia Lie Bi returned home, threw the brocade box on the table, and slumped down on the chair, feeling that all the strength in his life had been exhausted.
He didn't dare to sleep. Every time he closed his eyes, he would have a nightmare of his family being wiped out.
But Xiao Family is brightly lit, which is exciting.
The next morning.
Before the first ray of sunshine had cleared away the fog in Wutan City, a deafening sound of firecrackers and gongs and drums came from the Xiao Family compound in the south of the city.
"Dang! Dang! Dang!"
Xiao Family's guards were wearing brand new red clothes, beating gongs and drums at various street entrances, shouting at the top of their lungs:
"Great news! Great news! The third son of the Xiao Family clan, Xiao Yan, is only eleven years old. He has successfully united Dou Qi Whirlpool and been promoted to Dou Zhe!"
This message was like pouring a ladle of water into a boiling oil pan, causing the entire Wutan City to explode in an instant.
"Eleven-year-old Dou Zhe? My dear, this is just like Dou Emperor! The future Ten Great Experts of the Jia Ma Empire will definitely have Xiao Yan!"
"Is Xiao Family going to change the world and become the only family in Wutan City?"
The streets, teahouses and restaurants are full of voices talking about Xiao Yan.
Eleven-year-old Dou Zhe, this name is indeed resounding enough, even among the entire Jia Ma Empire, he is still ranked as a genius.
When this news reached Jia Lie Family, it was like a bolt from the blue to Jia Lie Bi who had been awake all night.
"Crack!"
The morning tea cup was smashed to pieces.
Jia Lie Bi had two big dark circles under his eyes, his hair was disheveled, and his eyes were bloodshot.
"Eleven years old Dou Zhe? It just happens to be this time!"
Jia Lie Bi felt as if his chest had been hit hard by a sledgehammer.
Internal and external troubles, this is really internal and external troubles.
If only Xiao Family rises, he may be able to unite with the Aoba Clan to compete.
But now, he provoked a mysterious young man with an unfathomable background. The family elder was crippled, his son was crippled, and he was left hanging all night.
If Xiao Family takes advantage of the situation at this time...
"It's over... it's all over..." Jia Lie Bi's lips trembled, and the fear of being swallowed made him shiver all over.
At the other end of the city, Ao Ba Pa, the patriarch of the Aoba Clan clan, was not doing much better at this time.
He listened to the sound of gongs and drums outside, and his face was so gloomy that water could drip from his face.
"This Wutan City world is probably going to change."
Ao Ba Pa was pacing back and forth in the hall, anxious like an ant on a hot pot.
"That idiot Jia Lie Bi offended Miteer Auction House, and now he has no time to take care of himself. Xiao Family shows up again as a monster... What should I do? Do you want me to please Xiao Family now?"
"Impossible!"
Miteer Auction House Backyard.
Lu Heng was sitting on a stone bench drinking porridge. Hearing the faint sound of gongs and drums coming from outside, he couldn't help but laugh.
"This is too high-profile."
Lu Heng shook his head, picked up a piece of pickled radish and put it into his mouth.
"You must know that when things go to extremes, they must be reversed."
There is no way, Lu Heng is a time traveler, naturally we know that soon after Xiao Yan becomes Dou Zhe, Dou Qi will be absorbed by Yao Chen, and then he will be reduced from a genius boy to a waste for three years.
Thinking of this, Lu Heng looked a little strange and muttered in his heart,
"The three-year period has expired?"
"Dragon King Xiao Yan is back!"
"Bad, Xiao Yan turns out to be the Dragon King!"
Ya Fei was sitting opposite him, holding a small mirror to touch up his makeup.
Hearing this, she put down the mirror and looked at Lu Heng with a half-smile:
"That's what you dare to say.
Eleven-year-old Dou Zhe's talent is top-notch anywhere. And within Wutan City, with the Xiao Family's strength, having such a talented boy can also enhance Xiao Family's reputation and conquer some other forces."
Lu Heng nodded slightly. It is true that in the case of three pillars, the rise of Xiao Yan is an opportunity to break the deadlock.
But it's a pity...
At this time, Ya Fei reached out and poked Lu Heng's chest.
"Okay, let's eat quickly.
If I guess correctly, the Jia Lie patriarch is probably already waiting at the door. This time, he will only be more anxious, more afraid, and more humble than last night."
Lu Heng put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes. "Since the heat is here, let's go and meet him. Our God of Wealth is here to bring warmth today."

Jia Lie Bi It really seems like I have aged ten years this time.
