The banquet was held in the headquarters building of Longtai Group.
The Qin Family hadn’t invited too many people this time, but still, many arrived uninvited.
Without exception, they were all there to curry favor with the Qin Family.
Even a fool could see now that the Qin Family’s status was as solid as a rock, having become the top tycoon of Beijiang, and indeed the entire provincial city.
Additionally, many were there for Xue An.
However, Xue An only made an appearance at the beginning of the banquet and did not show up again afterward.
This couldn’t help but disappoint many who were hoping to get close to him.
At the moment, Xue An stood on the balcony of Qin Yuan’s office, silently drinking.
Tang Xuan’Er watched him with some concern from the side.
She hadn’t gone to the battle today, instead staying home to take care of Xue Xiang and Xue Nian.
With Fan Mengxue busy with the next movie in the provincial city, Tang Xuan’Er was the only one by Xue An’s side.
Originally, Tang Xuan’Er wasn’t too worried. In her eyes, Xue An, who had disappeared for four years, had changed a lot.
It seemed as if there was nothing in the world that could trouble him.
But unexpectedly, after winning the battle, Xue An actually issued a challenge to the Yu Family.
It was an act that shocked and puzzled many people.
And after coming back, Xue An had remained silent with a somber face.
This atmosphere made Tang Xuan’Er’s heart tighten.
“Do you want to ask me why I want to deal with the Yu Family?” Xue An suddenly said.
Tang Xuan’Er kept her head down, silent, because she knew that if Xue An wanted to speak, he would, and if he didn’t want to, asking was futile.
Xue An picked up his wine glass, drained the red wine in one gulp, and then said with a melancholic tone, “Today, from Yu Yang’s soul, I saw someone’s shadow!”
Tang Xuan’Er trembled and looked up at Xue An.
Xue An nodded, “Yes, it’s An Yan’s silhouette. Although it was very blurry, I could still recognize it at a glance!”
With that, a hint of sadness infused Xue An’s tone.
“Her shadow was so lonely, as if bearing immense pressure, it made me feel an urge to kill!”
As Xue An spoke, a hundred meters around him went still without a breeze, and the wine glass on the table silently turned to dust.
That was Xue An’s wrath.
Tang Xuan’Er looked at Xue An with complex eyes.
“Will you… go to find her?”
Xue An nodded firmly, “Of course, I will go to find her no matter who the opponent is!”
Tang Xuan’Er fell silent, merely gazing quietly at Xue An’s back, her eyes becoming somewhat infatuated.
“Daddy daddy, what are you doing here?” Xue Xiang and Xue Nian ran in excitedly.
They had a blast today.
Because Qin Yu suddenly ordered a full set of amusement park equipment, then cleared out an entire floor of the building, setting up an exclusive amusement park just for the two little girls.
They had been playing until now before coming to look for Xue An.
Xue An’s expression returned to normal, he squatted down to pick up his two daughters and said with a smile, “Daddy was talking to your Aunt Xuan’Er!”
“Daddy, were you drinking?” Xue Xiang asked cheerfully.
Xue An nodded and then said, “In a couple of days, how about daddy takes you to find mommy? Would that be good?”
The two little girls were first startled, then shouted with surprise, “Yes, yes! We want to go find mommy!”
As Xue Xiang said this, her eyes welled with a layer of mist and she said somewhat plaintively, “Daddy, does mommy not like us?”
“How could that be! Mommy loves you two the most.”
“Then why hasn’t she come to find us?”
“That’s because mommy has been very busy, but now she has time, so daddy will take you to find her!”
“Yay, yay!” Xue Xiang and Xue Nian cheered joyously, then turned their heads to look at Tang Xuan’Er.
“Aunt Xuan’Er, let’s go find mom together!”
Tang Xuan’er brushed her hair from her ear and smiled gently, “No, Auntie has to go to work. I’ll just stay at home and wait for you to come back, okay?”
“Yeah! Aunt Xuan’Er, when mom comes back, you’ll still be our favorite Aunt Xuan’Er!” Xue Xiang and Xue Nian suddenly said.
The words made Tang Xuan’er’s eyes gradually redden, and then she turned her head away, not wanting to cry in front of the two little girls.
In fact, when it came to feelings, Tang Xuan’er had always taken care of the two little girls until they grew up. The bitterness and fatigue involved were only known to Tang Xuan’er.
And the two little girls were very affectionate towards her indeed.
They even used to call her mom.
Later, it was Tang Xuan’er herself who corrected them several times before they started to call her Aunt Xuan’Er.
Xue An watched Tang Xuan’er’s shoulders tremble slightly, and his gaze became tender.
He owed this girl too much, and he was determined to repay her in the future.
Lingnan’s Yu Family!
The news of Yu Yang being slain by a sword from Xue An had been delivered back.
Yu Yang’s father, Yu Lang, abruptly stood up, his expression becoming solemn.
“You’re saying he split the Qingfeng River with a single sword?”
“Yes! And Young Master Yu was reduced to ashes under that very sword. Moreover, he also said that in seven days… he will ascend to Lingnan and strike down the Yu Family!” the messenger said.
“Alright, you may leave,” said Yu Lang, his eyes flashing coldly as he spoke in a deep voice.
After the messenger left, there wasn’t much grief on Yu Lang’s face.
As a member of a martial arts family, it wasn’t unusual to die in combat—the important thing was to seek revenge afterward!
What really shook Yu Lang was Xue An’s last statement, which sounded like a declaration of war.
In seven days, he would arrive in Lingnan and strike down the Yu Family!
What arrogance!
A sneer crept onto Yu Lang’s face.
Did he really think that by killing a legitimate descendant of the Yu family, he could achieve anything?
After all, Yu Yang was the least promising among Yu Lang’s several sons!
At that moment, Yu Ran, having learned the news, hurried over.
As soon as he entered, Yu Ran spoke with grief and anger, “Father! My third brother… he…”
Yu Lang waved his hand, “If he’s inferior in skill and dies, he has no one else to blame.”
Then, looking at Yu Ran with indulgent eyes, Yu Lang said, “The Rain God Festival is coming up in a few days here in Lingnan, why haven’t you gone out to play?”
Yu Ran was still somewhat sad. Although Yu Yang was not favored by his father, he was always affectionate towards Yu Ran.
He never thought that what seemed to be a safe Shi Jian would end up costing Yu Yang his life.
“Father, I just came back from outside,” Yu Ran replied.
“How is the Rain God Festival this year?”
“It’s unprecedentedly grand, with more tourists from various places than in previous years!” Yu Ran paused and then said, “Father, I heard that this Xue An will come to Lingnan in seven days?”
Yu Lang sneered, “Him? If he dares to come, then Lingnan will be his grave!”
Then Yu Lang added, “Don’t go too far these next few days, the old ancestor is likely to emerge from seclusion anytime now!”
Yu Ran was struck by this and bowed in acknowledgment before slowly exiting the room.
Yu Ran, his heart still filled with sorrow, also heard the murmurs of those around him.
“This time Yu Yang has been killed; we haven’t even gone after him, and this Xue An dares to come to Lingnan? Is he seeking death?”
“Indeed, and he thinks he can strike down the Yu Family with his sword? Laughable!”
Meanwhile, this news had also spread throughout the entire Lingnan region.
But without exception, no one believed it.
To the native people of Lingnan, the Yu Family was like a living Immortal who safeguarded the locality!
How could an Immortal ever lose?
