Hong Xingyu frowned, then looked at Hong Haoyuan and the other three Elders and said in a low voice, “Tell our guests to wait for a while. We will be right there!”

Hong Haoyuan and the other Elders instantly took a step back and lowered their heads.

When the head of an outsider family visited, no matter whether it was good or bad, their dirty linen could not be seen by outsiders. Otherwise, it would disgrace the entire family. Even if Hong Haoyuan could not wait to kick Hong Dali out of the Hong Family, he had to hold back.

Hong Xingyu had intended to meet the visitors after he had settled the issue. Who would have thought that before he could continue, a rough voice could be heard from outside the door? The voice sounded angry and thunder-like. “Is the rascal Hong Dali here? Where is he? Ask him out to see me!”

Someone came to confront Hong Dali! Hearing the tone, everyone knew Hong Dali got into trouble again. This time, it was the Bei Family, who was on the same level as the Hong Family!

The younger members whispered righteously. “This Hong Dali is really ignorant. He got into to much trouble when he just arrived. Who knows what will happen if he is here to stay?” “Exactly. First, it was the elixirs. And now, the Bei Family is here. And it’s even the family head. Even the Zhu Family is here. It seems this is not a small matter.”

As they were speaking, a group of people walked in rowdily. Two people led the group. On the left was a burly man about two meters tall. He had a gray beard and his eyes gleamed like a thunderbolt. His equipment shone brightly and emitted a powerful odor. The younger members who knew better exclaimed. “The Sublime Suit! It’s the Sublime Suit that is equivalent to the Wings of Starry Sky! My God, the entire set!” “The attributes of the suit are superbly powerful. They’re the Bei Family, indeed. Amazing!”

This burly man was Bei Yuanqing’s father, Bei Mingxuan!

On the other side was a gentle-looking middle-aged man. He wore an ordinary suit and held Zhu Ningyu’s hand. He should be Zhu Ningyu’s father, head of the Zhu Family, Zhu Yunzhou.

Zhu Yunzhou looked rather young. But everyone knew he was already over 300 years old. He was rather powerful, only slightly under par compared to Hong Xingyu. He was usually vicious and hard to deal with.

Hong Xingyu narrowed his eyes.

The elixir room was usually a restricted place within the family. Outsiders would have never been allowed in! Today, Bei Family’s Bei Mingxuan and Zhu Family’s Zhu Yunzhou actually barged in like that. They had no consideration for the Hong Family at all. Hong Xingyu knocked his cane on the ground and said in a low voice, “It seems you did not visit with kind intentions. Are you taking advantage of this old man who does not have many years left? You don’t even show respect anymore?”

Speaking up to this point, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

All the younger members of the Hong Family stood behind him, standing against the Bei Family and Zhu Family.

“Enough nonsense.” Bei Mingxuan yelled with his thunderous voice without any bit of respect. He scanned the surroundings. “Which one of you is Hong Dali, tell him to get out this instant!”

The younger members of the family all looked down, not daring to have any eye contact. This Bei Mingxuan was a Fifth-Order Star Sector-level, after all. He was almost on the same level as Hong Xingyu and was terrifyingly powerful. Other than Hong Xingyu and his wife, no one was his match.

“Bei Mingxuan,” Hua Yueling was the first to stand out. She stared at Bei Mingxuan gloomily. “I’m afraid my old bag of bones is still worth quite a bit. You want to fight, I’ll fight you with all I have! Tell me, how do you want to do it?!”

Hong Xingyu stood forward as well and said in a deep voice, “Bei Mingxuan, this is not the place for you to use your fist. What do you want? Let’s go somewhere else!”

Bei Mingxuan’s eyes were red with anger. Hong Xingyu and Hua Yueling were not willing to step back.

The atmosphere was already extremely tense, and it seemed like a fight was about to break out any minute. At this moment, a lazy voice sounded from the crowd. Then, Hong Dali walked out slowly. “I’m Hong Dali. Uncle, you’re looking for me?”

“You are Hong Dali?” Bei Yuanqing stared at him furiously and shouted angrily, “Kid, you have guts. You actually bullied my Yuanqing!?”

Hearing that, everyone was shocked.

Hong Dali, an ordinary prodigal, whose attributes did not even get better when he ate elixirs, bullied Bei Yuanqing? He was a Second-Order Star Sector-level warrior! The number one genius in the Bei Family! Hong Dali actually bullied him?

Everyone’s expression seemed like they were listening to a fantasy story. Several members discussed softly. “Did I hear wrongly, Bei Yuanqing was bullied by Hong Dali?” “That’s right, how did he get bullied? Don’t tell me he was beaten up by Hong Dali?” “I don’t think it’s possible. If Hong Dali could beat up Bei Yuanqing, why would we bother practicing? An ordinary person can bully a Second-Order Star Sector-level so easily?”

Hong Xingyu was curious as well. “Bei Yuanqing, you are the head of the Bei Family, after all. You should be responsible when you speak! You said your Bei Yuanqing was bullied by our Dali? He is a Second-Order Star Sector-level. Even if you’re looking for an excuse, at least say something logical, okay?”

Everyone nodded. This excuse was really unbelievable.

“You don’t believe it?!” Bei Mingxuan roared. “This rascal Hong Dali used a pornography book to cheat my Yuanqing of 50 million. And he did not even get the book. 50 million is nothing to our Bei Family. But this matter should be properly addressed!”

He did not come here for just 50 million.

The Bei Family was influential. 50 million was nothing to them. The problem was, this was such a good opportunity.

Hong Family’s Hong Xingyu was advanced in age. Before, he was the most powerful and had always been the head of the three top royal families. In recent years, his strength had begun to regress due to his age. On the other hand, Bei Mingxuan was at the prime of his life. This was a good opportunity to kick them while they were down! Once or twice was nothing. After a while, when it was all added up, Bei Family would be able to justify themselves taking over the Hong Family’s position.

That was why he combined forces with the Zhu Family today to confront them. His purpose was to deal a blow to the Hong Family!

As Bei Mingxuan said up to this point, he stared at Hong Dali ferociously. “Where’s the book?!”

Hong Xingyu waved the book in his hand and asked, “You mean this book?” Pornography book, which was probably the book Hong Dali took out.

Indeed, when Bei Yuanqing saw the book in Hong Xingyu’s hand, Bei Yuanqing nodded and stepped forward to snatch the book over. In his rage, he turned the book into ashes!

After he turned the book into ashes, Bei Mingxuan finally cooled down a little. He said in a cold voice, “Watch the people in your family, Hong Xingyu. Not anyone can ride roughshod over our Bei Family! I don’t want the 50 million. Let that rascal Hong Dali buy snacks with it.”

He tore the book up! He actually tore up this Star Sector-level Cultivator’s secret manual!

With Hong Xingyu’s ability, even if Bei Mingxuan wanted to snatch the book over, he might not be able to do it. But Hong Xingyu never thought that Bei Mingxuan would dare to snatch something from his hands!

With his temper, how could he take this lying down? He transformed into a beam of light and grabbed Bei Mingxuan.

“Boom!” A powerful energy wall appeared and Hong Xingyu’s attack was blocked by it. There was a loud bang, then Hong Xingyu retreated. He then heard a soft voice. “Hong Xingyu, it’s not very nice to attack without giving a warning.”

It was Zhu Yunzhou, who had been observing from the side.

“Good! Good!” Hong Xingyu laughed sarcastically. “Very good. Now that Yueling and myself are advanced in years, you came here directly to pick a fight! That’s not too bad. Since you have already made it clear, there’s no need for me to have any considerations. Just say, Bei Mingxuan came here to challenge me, I have taken note of this. Why are you here?”

At this moment, all the members of the Hong Family were furious.

Hong Dali was the one that got into trouble, but that aside, now, the enemies had come to their house to pick a fight, and they had no guts to engage in internal strife. But, the head of the Bei Family and the head of the Zhu Family clearly had no respect for the Hong Family. None of them could take this lying down!

Especially that Star Sector-level manual. It was a priceless item to the Hong Family. Bei Mingxuan actually destroyed it just like that. How was it possible for them not to be angry?

Old Madam Hua Yueling held Hong Xingyu’s hand tightly, implying that she was willing to go all out together. Once a fight broke out, there was no going back.

“Made it clear?” Bei Mingxuan sneered and looked at Hong Xingyu, then at Hong Dali. “You Hong Family should watch your own people properly! You should weigh your capabilities before any of you try to cheat us Bei Family!”

His words were vicious. All the fault was pushed to Hong Dali in an instant.

The meaning was clear. Hong Dali was the one who created this trouble. Don’t blame us for coming here to denounce you.

Indeed, everyone’s attention was on Hong Dali at once. Their stares comprised of anger, curses, and despise. The members of the Hong Family, including the three Elders, glared at Hong Dali.

If Hong Xingyu and Hua Yueling were not here, they would not hesitate to kick Hong Dali out of the family.

“My capability.” Hong Dali did not seem worried at all. He did not look scared or regretful. “Somebody cried and shouted to buy the manual from me. It’s not too good for me to ignore him and not sell it to him, right? Aiyaya, actually, I didn’t want to say this. But since you insist on sticking your face here for me to smack, if I don’t smack it, it’s not so nice, isn’t it?”

Hearing that, everyone was stunned!

What did he mean? He actually said Bei Mingxuan came here to get his face smacked? This prodigal was so daring? He actually dared to speak to the Bei Family in this manner?!

“Okay, okay, okay.” If glares could kill, Hong Dali would have died a hundred times. Fire came out of Bei Mingxuan’s eyes. “Bastard, good. Very good. I want to see how you intend to disgrace me today! Men!”

His guards came forward. “Lord.”

“Bring a chair!” Bei Mingxuan yelled. “I shall sit here and see how this Hong Dali intends to smack my face!”

“Yes!” The guards left immediately.

Soon, the guards returned with two sofas. One each for Bei Mingxuan and Zhu Yunzhou. They sat down graciously. Then, Bei Mingxuan gave Hong Dali a cold stare. “I’m right here, Hong Dali. I shall see how you intend to smack my face!”
