"What was going on? The country wasn't at war, and nothing major had happened, so why had the war drum been sounded?" Ren Junyang, Ren Hanlin, and Ren Wenxu had just received word that Fang Tianen, the Family Head of the Fang Family, was leading a large force their way. Furious, they had been rushing out when they suddenly heard the war drum from the family head's residence. Every one of them froze.
What was he doing? Wouldn't he rest until he had ruined the Ren Family? News had just arrived from the banquet that he had actually trapped Fang Yan at the Ren Family's gates. Before they could even send someone to question what was happening, the Fang Family had already made a massive show of force.
And now he had actually... actually sounded the war drum. Was this brat going mad?!
Dong... dong-dong... dong-dong... dong... Within the Ren Family's Primeval Forest-like woods, Sixth Master Ren Tianzong, who had been seated beside the bed speaking with Yun Feng'er, fell silent. His fingers lightly tapped the bedside, their rhythm exactly matching that of the war drum now sounding from the Ren Family head's residence.
"So that was it. You little brat, this move not only drew everyone into your trap, but also flushed out those who wanted to deal with the Ren Family, then struck them head-on. But that temperament of yours really is... fiercer than your father's." Wan Hong had continuously kept Sixth Master Ren Tianzong informed of the situation at the banquet. Only now did Sixth Master Ren Tianzong finally understand Ren Jie's intentions completely, and even he could not help sighing in admiration.
"He was beating it quite convincingly. I wonder whether that brat had considered the consequences."
This war drum was not something to beat for
