Chapter 1831 - 1826: This Is My Turf

Hearing this kind of completely blunt mockery, Cao Wei snapped back to his senses, and at this moment he realized there were a few somewhat familiar young men standing in front of him.

Knowing they were all Hu Xiaobei’s men, Cao Wei didn’t hesitate at all and spoke directly, "What happened before was indeed my fault, but this time, I’m not here to fight, I’m here to talk cooperation with Master Xiaobei. Can you go in and let him know?"

After hearing Cao Wei’s awkward opening, the few young men exchanged looks, their faces full of emotion!

"Master Xiaobei really is a genius!"

"Yeah!"

The reason they were sighing like this right now was because earlier, they had already received notice.

They’d been told Cao Wei would be coming back soon...

And when he did, they were to bring him straight in.

Before, they’d thought Hu Xiaobei’s prediction this time was probably wrong.

Because Cao Wei had been scared out of his wits earlier, there was no way he’d dare come back in a short time.

Now, they realized they were still too young...

...

"What’s wrong?"

Seeing the admiration all over their faces, Cao Wei asked curiously.

Hearing Cao Wei’s curious question, they sneered, "Nothing to do with you! You and the people you brought can go straight in. Master Xiaobei is already waiting for you."

"Alright!"

Agreeing, Cao Wei quickly ran back to Cao Ying and the others. After he ran back, he took a deep breath and spoke quickly, "Family Head, they told us to go straight in, said Hu Xiaobei is waiting for us."

"Oh? Looks like that Hu Xiaobei had already calculated we would come. That’s a bit interesting."

Cao Ying gazed into the distance, his eyes calm.

"Maybe he just got lucky like a blind cat running into a dead mouse!"

Shooting Cao Ying a look, Cao Wei curled his lips hard.

He especially hated Hu Xiaobei, so hearing Cao Ying praise Hu Xiaobei made him extremely uncomfortable.

Cao Ying knew what Cao Wei was thinking, so he didn’t say anything more and just coolly changed the subject.

"Enough, lead the way."

"Yes!"

Cao Wei nodded quickly, and after nodding, he hurriedly led the way in front...

...

"They’re here a bit earlier than I expected. Something’s a little off."

After hearing the news that these people had arrived, Hu Xiaobei narrowed his eyes.

Earlier, Hu Xiaobei had already guessed they would come back again...

But they’d come way too fast this time.

Lin Ya, who had also gotten the news, looked at Hu Xiaobei and teased with a light laugh, "Little brother Xiaobei, things are really a bit off. In a bit, you’d better be careful."

"Relax. Besides, this is my turf. Here, they don’t even have a chance to pull anything."

Hu Xiaobei’s face was full of confidence...

If it were somewhere else, Hu Xiaobei really might worry.

But here, he absolutely didn’t.

"True!"

Thinking about how this was his turf, Lin Ya relaxed as well.

Right then, under Cao Wei’s lead, Cao Ying and the others who had come here happened to run into Cao Meng and his group, who were on their way to meet Hu Xiaobei.

"Well now, you really are a rare guest!"

After a second of stunned pause, Cao Meng took the initiative to speak.

"Are you even qualified to say that?"

Cao Ying glanced at him, his tone indifferent as he countered.

"What do you mean?"

The smile that had been on Cao Meng’s face suddenly stiffened and turned ugly.

Cao Ying gave him another look, full of disdain, and spoke again, "I mean nothing. It’s just that you’ve already handed over the position of Family Head, you’re not qualified to say that kind of thing anymore. Alright, I’m going to see your Family Head now, that’s that."

"You... I know you look down on me, but I’m willing to be a dog by Master Xiaobei’s side, because being his dog is still better than being swallowed up by you, you piece of trash."

Watching Cao Ying walk past him, Cao Meng roared madly.

When he first gave up the position of Family Head, Cao Meng was indeed angry; he wanted nothing more than for Hu Xiaobei to just drop dead.

But later, he gradually accepted everything.

He knew that even without Hu Xiaobei, there would be others coveting his assets, so his ending would be the same.

Since that was the case, he might as well choose someone stronger.

At the very least, it would be someone he’d chosen himself, and that would sit a little better in his heart.

Hearing Cao Meng’s hoarse roar, Cao Ying frowned slightly.

He wanted to say something more, but gave up.

He felt it wasn’t worth wasting his time and energy on this man.

"Family Head, are they going to see Master Xiaobei to get revenge?"

"Yeah, should we put up some precautions?"

After they walked off, a few people beside Cao Meng spoke up quickly.

Hearing their worried questions, Cao Meng narrowed his eyes. After thinking it over, he shook his head lightly.

He felt they probably weren’t here for revenge. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have walked in so openly.

Seeing Cao Meng shake his head, they were about to keep talking when they heard him speak first.

"I’ve looked into Cao Ying before. He’s not the type who likes to solve problems with force, so this time, he should’ve already come up with some sort of scheme. Maybe he’s already dug a pit for Master Xiaobei to fall into."

"Then we should hurry up and remind Master Xiaobei."

Hearing their anxious urging, Cao Meng shook his head lightly, "No need. Master Xiaobei is much smarter than we imagine. We’ll just quietly watch."

"That... makes sense too!"

Thinking of Hu Xiaobei’s strength, they gradually relaxed.

They didn’t know what medicine Cao Ying had in his gourd, but they were sure Master Xiaobei would definitely see through it.

So they really didn’t need to do anything, just sit on the sidelines and watch the show.

...

"They’re here!"

Hu Xiaobei saw them...

With a faint smile, Hu Xiaobei signaled for Lin Ya to start making tea...

You don’t hit a smiling face with your fist!

Since they’d taken the initiative to come smiling, Hu Xiaobei would naturally treat them with courtesy.

"Master Xiaobei, hello!"

Hearing him greet so excitedly, Hu Xiaobei also spoke with a broad smile, "You must be Family Head Cao Ying. You’re looking pretty well."

"Not bad, not bad."

As they spoke, Hu Xiaobei had Cao Ying sit down across from him.

As for Cao Wei, Hu Xiaobei hardly spared him a single glance from beginning to end.

Seeing himself get ignored, Cao Wei’s eyelids twitched wildly...

"Hold it in, hold it in, I have to keep my emotions off my face, I have to!"

Thinking of Housekeeper Cao’s earlier teachings, he took a deep breath and sat stiffly down beside Cao Ying.

"Master Xiaobei, there were some misunderstandings before. I’ve come personally to apologize, hoping you won’t hold it against a petty man like me."

He had barely sat down when he heard Cao Ying speak with sincere regret...

"Since you’ve said that much, of course I won’t keep holding onto it. Let’s have some tea."

Saying this, Hu Xiaobei looked over at Lin Ya.

Lin Ya smiled lightly and started making tea very seriously...

When it came to the tea ceremony, Lin Ya was quite skilled, so what she did now was very pleasing to the eye.
