"Father, what’s wrong? Hurry and let the bodyguards do something, catch him, I want him to not even..."
Seeing that Wan Bin made no move, his son Wan Can tried to speak again, but before he could finish, Wan Bin slapped him across the face and bellowed angrily.
Wan Can was completely stunned by his father’s slap, and even the other young masters showed expressions of utter confusion.
"Go and apologize to Mr. Xiao right now, and beg for his forgiveness!"
Wan Bin’s face was stern as he commanded in a deep voice.
Wan Can failed to comprehend what was happening; he had called his father for revenge, and now it had come to the point where he had to apologize to the person who injured him. He didn’t understand the situation.
"If you don’t want to die, apologize immediately, or even I can’t save you!"
Wan Bin said coldly, urgency flickering in his eyes.
Xiao Yifeng dared to kill members of the Yaan family—and when he killed, it was dozens at a time. Wan Bin believed that if his son couldn’t beg for forgiveness, the only path left was death, and even he would be powerless to save him.
"But father, my leg is broken, I can’t move!"
Wan Can said somewhat helplessly.
Wan Bin dragged Wan Can’s body in front of Xiao Yifeng, paying no heed to his son’s pain.
"Mr. Xiao, I’m sorry, my son was blind to Mount Tai and offended you. We hope you can be magnanimous and not take his offense to heart!"
Wan Bin bowed his head to Xiao Yifeng as he spoke, simultaneously gesturing to Wan Can.
Wan Can said, looking at Xiao Yifeng, with a trace of resentment in his eyes.
"Your son just insulted my friend here!"
Xiao Yifeng stated indifferently.
"Miss Shen, I’m sorry!"
Wan Bin quickly turned to Shen Yuting and said, while also giving Wan Can a glance.
Wan Can looked at Shen Yuting and said again.
"It’s fine now, Brother Xiao, let’s just let bygones be bygones!"
Shen Yuting addressed Xiao Yifeng.
"Leave, and if I ever see you again, don’t blame me for being rude!"
Xiao Yifeng’s reply was icy.
"Thank you, Mr. Xiao, thank you so much!"
Wan Bin expressed his deep gratitude with a bow, then had the bodyguards lift Wan Can up and quickly leave the place.
The remaining young masters looked at each other and, without another word, all ran out.
"Brother Xiao, thank you for everything you’ve done for me!"
Shen Yuting’s eyes were filled with deep gratitude as she looked at Xiao Yifeng.
And at the Yaan family residence, a sense of dark clouds pressing down on the city so heavy it seemed to crush it pervaded. The atmosphere in the hall was oppressively tense to the extreme.
Yaan Jianye sat in the principal seat, his expression grave, his eyes narrowed, betraying no hint of emotion.
At that moment, Yaan Yanjun walked in, his complexion exceedingly grim.
The voice of Yaan Jianye was slightly somber.
"His body doesn’t have any major issues for now, but this incident is yet another huge blow and humiliation for him. I’m afraid he might not be able to withstand it!"
Yaan Yanjun shook his head and sighed.
Yaan Jianye slammed his hand hard on the table next to him; the table immediately shattered to pieces, displaying the fury in his heart.
"Father, now the whole of Yanjing is gossiping about our Yaan Family. Our family’s honor has been completely dragged through the mud and turned into a laughingstock for everyone. Are we really going to let that brat get away with this?"
Yaan Yanjun’s face showed unwillingness as he clenched his fists tightly.
"Go and contact Heaven Gate, tell them it is my wish for them to take action. No matter the cost, I want that brat dead and all of the Shen Family—no survivors! Handle every single one of them. The Yaan Family will deal with all consequences, tell them not to worry about anything!"
A terrifying murderous intent flashed in Yaan Jianye’s eyes, and a strong aura of bloodlust swirled around him, like a war general who had battled through the sands of the battlefield.
Meanwhile, at the Xiao Family, Xiao Ding and Situ Yan were sitting together.
"Didn’t expect the kid to be so capable, even the Dragon Guard showed up, and yet they still couldn’t kill him!"
A trace of regret flickered in Situ Yan’s eyes.
"Judging from today’s events, there seems to be some unclear relationship between him and Yan Haotian; otherwise, Haotian wouldn’t have helped him so much. No wonder the matter of him killing Yanluo was quelled by Yan Haotian. Their relationship is definitely not simple."
"Moreover, this kid has a powerful force behind him; otherwise, he wouldn’t have dared to do what he did to the Yaan Family today. It seems that he has indeed changed significantly in the past decade!"
Xiao Ding’s expression was solemn as he spoke.
"That’s why we must kill him. If we leave him be, he’ll be a great threat, and he must be killed!"
"I’ll make contact with Hidden Assassin again, try to get them to send stronger experts to take him down."
Xiao Ding’s gaze flickered.
"No matter what, the kid must die. Otherwise, it will be too late by the time he sets foot in the Xiao Family again."
Chill and determination spread in Situ’s eyes.
In another room of the Xiao Family, Xiao Yuanshan and Xiao Han were sitting together, with steaming tea in front of them.
"Father, don’t you want to see him once?"
After a long while, Xiao Han looked at Xiao Yuanshan and spoke.
Xiao Yuanshan’s tranquil gaze flickered slightly as he picked up the teacup, took a sip, and shook his head.
"No need. Given his temperament, he won’t want to see me. Let’s not force it!"
"Father, you can’t be entirely blamed for what happened in the past. You were also acting in anger. I believe if you talk to Little Feng properly, he will understand; after all, you are his only grandfather!"
"Let’s talk about it later. If our grandson really has a fate with us, we are destined to meet again. Besides, I’ve wronged them, mother and son, and I have no face to meet them."
Xiao Yuanshan sighed softly, his eyes reflecting a complex mix of regret.
"I wonder if my elder brother is still around. If he saw Little Feng’s transformation today, he would surely be very happy!"
Xiao Han said softly.
Xiao Yuanshan’s eyes narrowed, filled with complex emotions.
"By the way, keep an eye on the Yaan Family for me. Losing face and suffering such a huge loss, Old Man Yaan will definitely not let it rest. He will surely stir up more trouble. Watch them closely and make sure no harm comes to him."
Xiao Yuanshan said gravely.
"Understood, father. I will keep an eye on them and ensure Little Feng’s safety!"
As time passed, the sunset in the west and night gradually fell.
By a quiet lakeside in Yanjing, Xiao Yifeng said to Shen Yuting, "Yuting, it’s getting dark. Let me take you back, and we’ll go back to Tianhai together tomorrow!"
Shen Yuting nodded, and the two of them got up to leave the place.
