The manâs demeanor directly enraged Liu Zixuan.
If being soft doesnât work, you try to be hard. I havenât signed any indenture with you guys, why the hell should I go wherever you say!
As the man started to open the car door and was about to grab the edge to fully pull it open, Liu Zixuanâs left hand suddenly pressed hard, slamming the door shut.
The sudden force left the man no time to move his hand, and his fingers got caught in the door slit, turning instantly blue with pain.
Sweat trickled down his forehead, and his face turned extremely unpleasant. "Mr. Liu, youâre forcing me!"
"Damn it, you get out of the car acting like everyone should listen to you, and you say Iâm forcing you?"
Liu Zixuan rolled down the window, reached out suddenly, and pulled the manâs head into the car, then the window glass quickly rose, catching him by the neck!
"Do you believe Iâll leave you without a whole body!" Liu Zixuan said coldly.
"Let... let me go!" The man, whose neck was caught by the car window, struggled to speak.
"I just gave some face to the Willow Associationâs elder by pinching your fingers. Now youâre still babbling on, do you think Iâm made of mud?"
With that, Liu Zixuan straightforwardly opened the car door, grabbed the manâs neck, and lifted him up forcefully, "That guy up front only snatched your lane, but you outright killed him. So why donât you join him..."
"Splash!"
Before Liu Zixuan finished his words, a red streak unexpectedly appeared on the manâs forehead. A sharp blade extended directly from the back of his head.
"Mr. Liu, killing such people would dirty your hands!"
A woman about twenty-five or six years old slowly walked out from behind, a charming smile at the corner of her mouth, holding a knife stained with blood.
"Who sent you this time?" Liu Zixuanâs tone was filled with displeasure. He hated it the most when someone interrupted him.
"Kuihua Sect. Itâs also one of the scattered sects." The woman smiled charmingly at Liu Zixuan, then moved close to him, "Mr. Liu, itâs so cold. For the sake of me waiting so long, take me back to the hotel, please!"
Sigh, to win over Liu Zixuan, all sorts of absurd tactics were used. Judging by the womanâs demeanor, it was clearly an attempt to seduce Liu Zixuan!
Liu Zixuan pinched his forehead, pushed the woman away, and said disdainfully, "Even if itâs a beauty trap, send someone who can surprise me."
Saying this, Liu Zixuan pointed to Ye Lianyi in the passenger seat of his car. "Take a good look, with such a beautiful woman in my car, do you think Iâd still be tempted by you?"
Compared to Ye Lianyi, this woman from the Kuihua Sect was like a weed next to a blooming rose. There was simply no comparison.
The woman glanced inside the car, and her previously seductive expression became awkward. "Since youâve seen through it, I wonât hide anything. Mr. Liu, the scattered sects have temporarily formed an alliance and want you to be the Alliance Leader to lead us against those big family forces."
Liu Zixuan chuckled helplessly, "I really donât get it. What skills do I have that make both sides so keen on me?"
"Only with you as our backbone will everyone have more confidence to face those guys. You..."
"Stop!"
Liu Zixuan was truly tired of hearing these words, interrupting the woman, he said, "I am now going to have a meal with a friend. I donât want to be disturbed during this time. After dinner, if you want to talk, Iâll talk to you. And if they want to talk, Iâll talk to them too, okay?"
"Alright then." The woman could see that Liu Zixuan was a bit annoyed. Since they were both trying to win him over, they didnât dare to offend him at all, so she stepped aside.
When Liu Zixuan had been speaking, his voice was loud because he knew there were other forces listening nearby. It was also a way of telling them not to bother him anymore.
After speaking, Liu Zixuan turned to the car, maneuvered around the two cars blocking the path via the sidewalk, and drove forward.
As he turned the corner, the Mercedes still waited there.
After about another ten minutes, the Mercedes stopped in front of a large farmhouse restaurant.
A man got out, bowed slightly towards Liu Zixuan and Ye Lianyi, and said, "Mr. Liu, my elder is waiting inside."
"Can you tell me now who your elder actually is?" Liu Zixuan asked, full of meaning.
"Youâll know once youâre inside." The man smiled slightly and led the way inside.
The group passed through the front yard and entered a room inside, which resembled a rural house, complete with a traditional northern heated brick bed. On which someone was sitting cross-legged, looking leisurely relaxed.
"Elder, Mr. Liu and Ms. Ye have arrived!" The man said respectfully before retreating alone.
Looking at the person sitting on the heated brick bed, Liu Zixuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Elder? Which sect was blind enough to make you an elder?"
Jiang Yunxuan took a puff on his cigarette, grumbling in dissatisfaction, "What the hell, what are you saying? If you can be sought after by so many, why canât I be an elder?"
Liu Zixuan grinned. He knew that this so-called elder was familiar, but he never expected it to be Jiang Yunxuan, this young master!
Back then, Jiang Yunxuan had left with Huzi. Now that Jiang Yunxuan had appeared, Huzi should be here too.
Immediately Liu Zixuan asked, "Whereâs that guy Huzi!"
"Busy in the kitchen; that dumb tiger might turn into a woman, heâs been experimenting with cooking every day." Jiang Yunxuan laughed, stepping off the bed.
"Damn it, what did I do to deserve this, how can you still be bad-mouthing me even though Xuan is here!"
Huzi came over from the back with a cooking spoon, a burly man wearing a floral apron, looking very unconventional.
Listening to them bicker, itâs hard to tell how these two have been living all this time.
He smiled at Ye Lianyi, "Theyâre like this daily. Donât mind them."
"I wonât. In fact, I find it quite interesting!" Ye Lianyi said with a gentle smile.
"By the way, whereâs Zhao Yi? I sent a message for you both through my disciples, why is it just the two of you here?" Jiang Yunxuan asked.
"You also sent him a message?" Liu Zixuan frowned slightly.
"Yeah, I was worried you werenât together. Logically, there would be people stopping you on the way, but he should have been with you." Jiang Yunxuan wondered aloud, "Could Zhao Yi be in trouble? His phone is also off."
"He lost his phone and wallet and hasnât come over yet. Could he have returned to the hotel alone?" Liu Zixuan quickly took out his phone and called the hotel where they had stayed...
