"Wuji Manor does have some ideas. After all, they are an assassin organization, and they always eliminate potential dangers completely. However, because the strength of that kid surnamed Gu is unpredictable, and Ning Yufeng, as a top assassin and one of the three Venerables, has died at his hands, Wuji Manor dares not act rashly. But if they discover that kid has come to the Shangjing, they will notify us immediately."
Liu Zixiao thought for a moment and said, "As for the Steel Tremor Sect, we don't know what their plans are, and they haven't given us any feedback, only sending congratulatory gifts."
"It's been almost half a month already, are we just going to let that kid get away with it? We won't have a moment's peace until he comes to the Shangjing!"
As he said this, the smile on Liu Tianqi's face gradually disappeared, turning icy cold. He said, "My younger brother died at that brat's hands. If I can't skin him alive, I won't be able to quell the hatred in my heart!"
"How could I not hate him?" Liu Zixiao gritted her teeth and said, "My son, Liu An, also died at this man's hands. If circumstances allowed, I would have loved to march on Zhou City and take his dog's life!"
"Never mind."
Liu Tianqi glanced behind him; many guests had already taken their seats. He straightened his expression and said, "Patriarch, you should go and take charge of the overall situation. Today is my son's happy occasion. After today, I will personally visit the Steel Tremor Sect."
"Alright!" Liu Zixiao nodded, a sharp glint in her eyes, and said, "Yangtian has now entered the Tiger Ranking. With his talent, and your personal visit, I'm sure the Steel Tremor Sect will give us this face."
"Um."
Liu Tianqi nodded.
Liu Zixiao patted the former on the shoulder, then turned and entered the courtyard, immediately followed by a chorus of congratulations.
The main character this time is still Liu Yangtian. The banquet has been going on for more than an hour, and it is now nine o'clock.
But at that moment, three black sedans suddenly drove up from the street intersection ahead and stopped at the gate in no time.
Who else is coming?
Two guards from the Liu Family stood at the door. They exchanged a glance, a look of doubt flashing across their faces. The banquet was supposed to start at 8:30, and almost an hour had already passed. Why were there still people arriving?
But just as they were wondering what was going on, an old man and a young man from the Honghe Sect got out of the lead vehicle. From the car behind, several men in black got out.
They carried nothing with them and headed straight for the front door.
"Stop!"
The Liu Family guards stopped the group and asked, "Who are you?"
"Isn't today a joyous occasion for the Liu Family?" The old man smiled faintly and said, "My name is Yu Sheng, and I have come to offer my congratulations."
"Yu Sheng? Yu Sheng of the Honghe Sect?"
After a brief pause, the Liu Family guards seemed to remember something and suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
"Hehe, it is indeed me," Yu Sheng said. "Please trouble you to announce my arrival."
"Well!"
The Liu Family guards immediately dashed inside to report.
Before long, Liu Zixiao arrived with several high-ranking martial artists from the Liu Family. Upon seeing Yu Sheng, Liu Zixiao greeted him with a broad smile, saying, "Elder Yu, you've come without prior notice, causing me to feel unwelcome."
In the eyes of the Liu Family, Yu Sheng was not even a martial artist and was not worth mentioning. Even the Honghe Sect was nothing to him. But the key was that Zhuge Kun, who was behind him, represented the Zhuge Family!
The Zhuge Family is one of the Six Great Families of the Land of Heaven and Earth. They are powerful figures whose every move can make the entire Land of Heaven and Earth tremble. In the mortal world, the Liu Family certainly cannot afford to offend them!
Upon receiving the notification, Liu Zixiao immediately abandoned the other guests and rushed over.
"I, Yu, have come uninvited; I hope I haven't disturbed Patriarch Liu Family."
Yu Sheng chuckled.
"How could I disturb you, Elder Yu? Are you the only one who came today?"
The news of Zhuge Kun's departure from the Zhuge Family has not yet spread completely, and the Liu Family was distracted by the Shennong Grass matter, so Liu Zixiao remained polite.
"There are people next to me, Master Liu Family, could it be that you didn't see them?"
Yu Sheng said, "To be honest, I'm just accompanying someone; I'm not the main character today."
"Oh?"
Because Gu Chen was too young, Liu Zixiao had assumed he was a junior who had come with Yu Sheng to broaden his horizons. But upon hearing Yu Sheng's words, Liu Zixiao finally turned his attention to Gu Chen, and his eyes widened in surprise.
Although Gu Chen was very young, just by standing there, he gave people a feeling of being as immovable as a mountain, like a sharp arrow that, though not yet drawn, already had a cold and sharp edge.
"Young man, could you perhaps be a relative of Master Zhuge Family?"
Unsure of what to do, Liu Zixiao asked directly.
"No." Gu Chen shook his head and said, "Patriarch Liu Family, I have long admired your name. It is a great honor to meet you today. You are indeed just as I imagined."
Liu Zixiao couldn't discern good from bad in Gu Chen's words, so she could only chuckle awkwardly and say, "It's not proper for the Liu Family to have you two standing at the door. Please come in and enjoy the feast with us."
After speaking, Liu Zixiao made a "please" gesture, but after waiting for a while, seeing that Yu Sheng and his group had not moved, she tentatively asked, "Old Yu, young brother, please?"
"I think Patriarch Liu Family has misunderstood," Gu Chen shook his head and said, "Elder Yu may have come to offer congratulations, but I am not."
"Hmm?" Liu Zixiao was taken aback, then frowned and said, "I don't quite understand what you mean, young man."
"There should be quite a few distinguished guests at the Liu Family mansion right now, right?" Gu Chen said casually.
"Yes." Liu Zixiao nodded and said, "I am grateful to everyone for giving the Liu Family so much face, allowing some friends to gather here."
"Alright then."
Gu Chen nodded, then suddenly took a step forward.
With this one step, the gale subsided, shaking the void!
Even Liu Zixiao was forced back a step by this invisible force!
Before he could react, Gu Chen had already mustered his True Qi and roared, "The Liu Family will face bloodshed today. Anyone who doesn't want to be implicated, please leave immediately in five minutes!"
This muffled roar was like a bolt from the blue; even Yu Sheng hadn't expected Gu Chen to do such a thing!
Gu Chen's roar carried extremely far, almost penetrating the entire Liu Family mansion. In an instant, the lively sounds inside seemed to come to a sudden halt.
"What do you mean?!"
Liu Zixiao was shocked and angry when Gu Chen dared to say such a thing. After regaining her footing, she looked at Gu Chen with a look of surprise and anger and asked him a question!
Gu Chen glanced at him indifferently and said, "Patriarch Liu Family, you have tried to kill my friend time and time again. I spared your Liu Family members and sent them back to deliver a message to you. Did you not receive it?"
"What?" Liu Zixiao was taken aback at first, but then, looking at Gu Chen's face, she became increasingly alarmed. The next second, her expression changed drastically, and she exclaimed in horror, "You're Gu Chen?"
