After Qin BuYi left the restaurant, he was preparing to find a place to properly plan how to launch his offensive against the Tang Family.
A person dressed as a butler blocked his way. Qin BuYi’s right hand, which was holding his blade, rested on the hilt.
Seeing Qin BuYi’s stance, ready to draw his blade and kill at any moment, the butler’s eyelids twitched. He thought to himself:
“This man, who kills without batting an eye, I wonder if Young Miss inviting him is a blessing or a curse. Alas~”
Seeing Qin BuYi about to draw his blade, the butler quickly put on a smile and said, “Young Master, my master requests your presence.”
Without lowering his guard, Qin BuYi asked, “Who is your master?”
The butler took out a token from his Pregnant, with the character “Wang” engraved on it, and said, “Young Master, come with me and you will know.”
“People from the Wang Family?” Qin BuYi thought to himself.
He had learned from the discussions of the restaurant patrons that the deceased Sixth Young Master Tang seemed to have offended the Wang Family, having been confined after publicly harassing the Wang Family’s beloved Young Miss.
Not sensing any hostility from the butler, Qin BuYi pondered his current situation.
First, he had annihilated the Nine Dragons Gang, and just now, he had killed Sixth Young Master Tang. He was now in an irreconcilable conflict with the Tang Family, not to mention the war mission pressing on him.
Reconciliation between the two sides was impossible, and he was ultimately alone, somewhat outnumbered.
If he could establish a connection with the Wang Family at this time, leveraging their influence could slightly improve his current dire situation. At the very least, it could buy him some time to grow stronger.
Qin BuYi was decisive in killing, but he wasn’t foolish. How to utilize the resources around him to achieve his goals was what he considered.
Thinking this, the expression on his face softened. He lowered his right hand, which had been gripping the Killing Blade, and nodded at the butler.
The butler wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead. Evidently, communicating with such a ruthless person placed no small amount of pressure on his heart.
Inside the Wang Family, a courtyard.
Inside the courtyard, apart from the servants, a man and a woman stood in front of a goldfish pond.
The man had sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, dressed in a yellow robe, exuding an air of nobility.
The woman’s features were picturesque, dressed in a plain colored dress, with a pair of eyes revealing endless tenderness.
“Third Brother, could it be that you are also interested in him?” the woman asked curiously.
“Haha, Sister ZhiRou, I just arrived in Qingyang City and heard that someone killed Sixth Young Master Tang, who harassed you last time. Of course, I want to see what kind of divine being has such courage to offend the Tang Family,” the man said with a smile.
As the two were chatting, the butler entered from outside the door.
“Young Miss, the person has been invited and is waiting outside,” the butler respectfully said.
Wang ZhiRou, hearing the butler’s words, said with a slightly blaming tone, “Then why aren’t you inviting the guest in? If word gets out that the Wang Family treats guests this way, we will be ridiculed.”
“Young Miss, I will go now.”
Qin BuYi was currently strolling inside the Wang Family mansion. The entire Wang Family mansion stretched as far as the eye could see, and the buildings within the mansion displayed luxury and grandeur.
“If this were on Blue Star, it would definitely be a top-tier super-wealthy family on Blue Star,” Qin BuYi commented in his heart.
“I apologize for making Young Master wait for so long. Please do not blame me,” the butler said, a little out of breath, having jogged all the way from a distance.
“No matter,” Qin BuYi said indifferently.
Every aristocratic family had its own rules for entertaining guests, and naturally, one had to respect the host’s rules when in their territory.
Qin BuYi followed the butler to the courtyard where Wang ZhiRou was located.
When Wang ZhiRou saw Qin BuYi, she said with a slight smile in her voice, “This humble sister, Wang ZhiRou, it is my first time meeting Young Master, and I have been a bit neglectful. I do not yet know Young Master’s name, may I ask you to tell me.”
Looking at the woman before him, her appearance was exceptionally outstanding, with delicate features and gentle, watery eyes that made one feel an irresistible urge upon seeing them.
Qin BuYi stared at Wang ZhiRou for a moment, then came back to his senses and no longer focused on Wang ZhiRou’s appearance.
At the same time, he suddenly understood why Sixth Young Master Tang would harass her in public.
The moment he saw Wang ZhiRou, he understood who the real host inviting him was.
Qin BuYi spoke, “Qin BuYi. Young Miss, why have you invited me here?”
“Hehe, I invited you here because I wanted to personally thank you for killing that pervert, Tang Liu.”
“I have always been bothered by this matter. Due to a physical condition, this humble sister cannot Cultivate. If Young Master Qin had not slain him, I don’t know when I would have been able to vent this anger.”
With the long-standing knot in her heart untied, Wang ZhiRou was clearly in a good mood, speaking with a hint of satisfaction.
After a pause, Wang ZhiRou sighed and said, “I must have made Young Master laugh.”
“Let me introduce Young Master Huang, who has come from the Imperial Capital.”
“Young Master Qin, just call me Huang San,” Huang San said with a smile.
“Don’t just stand there, we have prepared a banquet. Please come this way.”
The two followed Wang ZhiRou to the courtyard pavilion. The center of the pavilion was filled with various dishes.
As the three sat down, Huang San was the first to speak, “Young Master Qin, you have provoked the Tang Family, which is a big trouble. What do you plan to do next?”
Qin BuYi said calmly, “When soldiers come, we block them; when water comes, we cover it with earth.”
“Haha, what gall! I toast Young Brother Qin,” Huang San raised his cup and drank it all.
“Don’t just talk, eat the dishes. This is Yao Beast meat unique to the Falling Star Mountain Range outside Qingyang City, it’s very rare,” Wang ZhiRou said.
After the meal, host and guests were all delighted.
During their conversation, Huang San and Wang ZhiRou did most of the talking. Qin BuYi, being new to the place, gained a lot of useful information from them.
Qingyang City was intricately controlled by three major forces.
Leading them was the City Lord’s Mansion, which held absolute authority in Qingyang City.
Next was the Wang Family. The Wang Family had resided in Qingyang City for generations and seemed to have intricate ties with the Imperial Capital. Even the City Lord’s Mansion had to treat the Wang Family’s stance with caution.
Finally, there was the Tang Family, which had suddenly migrated as a branch from the Imperial Capital Tang Family three hundred years ago and seemed to have been searching for something.
After eating and drinking to their fill, Huang San and Wang ZhiRou personally saw Qin BuYi to the entrance of the Wang Mansion.
Wang ZhiRou took out a small box from her Pregnant and handed it to Qin BuYi, saying, “This humble sister has no other valuables. Here are five hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stones. Please accept them, Young Master. Next, Young Master must be careful of the Tang Family’s retaliation.”
Qin BuYi did not reach out to take it immediately, looking at Wang ZhiRou.
Seeing Wang ZhiRou’s firm attitude, Qin BuYi took the box and said, “Thank you!”
Huang San then took out a jade token, shaped like a Dragon, and handed it to Qin BuYi, saying, “If one day Young Brother Qin encounters a life-or-death crisis, taking out this token might save Young Brother Qin’s life.”
Qin BuYi looked at the jade token and asked doubtfully, “Why are you helping me?”
Huang San laughed, “Haha, maybe someday in the future I will also need Young Brother Qin’s help.”
Wang ZhiRou said from the side, “Young Master Qin, just keep it. Even I, this humble sister, am envious of Third Brother’s jade token.”
Hearing this, Qin BuYi took the jade token and said to the two, “Thank you for your hospitality, farewell!”
After Qin BuYi left, Wang ZhiRou said to Huang San, “Third Brother, you think too highly of him. You even gave him the jade token.”
Huang San gazed at the moonlight in the sky, his voice filled with helplessness as he said, “The situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable for me. I came to Qingyang City this time to relax. Staying in that Central Region vortex for too long will drive one mad.”
“If one day he can truly help me, what is a mere jade token? I am quite accurate in judging people. If this person does not die, a small Qingyang City will not be able to keep him.”
“What I said earlier isn’t very important. The most important thing is that he helped Sister ZhiRou vent her anger. That is why I helped him.”
After Huang San finished speaking, Wang ZhiRou said gently, “It’s cold outside, let’s go back.”
...
“Fifth Master, he’s out.”
“Oh? Is he out?” A middle-aged strong man with sleepy eyes wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth, apparently not fully awake yet.
Standing up and stretching, the big man said, “This kid has made me wait a long time, from afternoon until night.”
“Hehe, dare to kill my Tang Family member, prepare to die.”
“Fifth Master, this kid only came out of the Wang Family so late. Perhaps the Wang Family is behind this matter.”
“The Wang Family? What about the Wang Family? Sooner or later, we’ll deal with them too.”
“Go! Kill that kid and report back.”
Qin BuYi had remained vigilant after leaving the Wang Family.
He didn’t believe the Tang Family would let him off so easily, and sure enough, after walking just two streets, he was surrounded.
“Kid, die!”
Fifth Master Tang, holding a broadaxe, launched an attack from above.
