Tao Qianran, Xie Qiyi

Upon seeing Yuan Chengshuo's arrival, Xie Qiyi's already gloomy face grew even more displeased and disgusted.

Yuan Chengshuo's handsome face, admired by others, appeared hideous in his eyes. Over the years, the conflicts between their families had become irreconcilable.

"I didn't expect Young Master Yuan to be here today. It seems that this Prince Beichen is quite important to your Yuan family," Xie Qiyi's low voice dripped with sarcasm, directly mocking Yuan Chengshuo.

Yuan Chengshuo, who had inherited the position of the Yuan family's patriarch, held a high status and rarely appeared in such occasions.

His presence today indicated his strong desire to provoke the anger of the Xie family using Prince Beichen as a pretext.

Yuan Chengshuo greeted Emperor Beichen and Baili Hongzhuang on the second floor with a smile before turning his gaze towards Xie Qiyi.

"Prince Beichen is a friend of my younger brother and a guest of the Yuan family. Naturally, we will not turn a blind eye," Yuan Chengshuo responded calmly and confidently, showing no sign that the Yuan family's actions were questionable.

"You have such a self-righteous appearance. Yesterday, these two individuals took away Honglang's Qiankun Bagua Pouch. How can we let others take our belongings like this? Regardless, I will definitely get it back," Xie Qiyi asserted firmly. Given the current situation, he wouldn't just let it go.

With so many people witnessing the situation, as the next head of the Xie family, he couldn't afford to appear weak in front of Yuan Chengshuo. That would only bring shame upon the entire Xie family.

After witnessing the confrontation between Xie Qiyi and Yuan Chengshuo, the onlookers couldn't help but exchange glances. This unexpected turn of events had truly become a fascinating spectacle.

"Yesterday, it was Xie Honglang who brought trouble upon himself. Leaving his Qiankun Bagua Pouch behind was already giving face to the Xie family. Now you've come here so ostentatiously. I didn't expect the mighty Xie family to be so unreasonable," a clear and melodious voice sounded from Baili Hongzhuang, her beautiful face adorned with a faint mocking smile. Her words hit the core of the matter directly.

Baili Hongzhuang absentmindedly stroked the white lion's fur, her expression filled with indifference.

Yesterday, she and Beichen had intentionally avoided causing too much trouble in Yuanwu City, which was why they only took Xie Honglang's Qiankun Bagua Pouch. However, the Xie family seemed to have learned nothing from the experience.

One could say that Xie Qiyi was too arrogant for his own good.

As Baili Hongzhuang's words fell, Xie Qiyi's expression grew even more unpleasant. His nonchalant attitude made him appear petty in comparison.

"What do you mean by 'unreasonable'? The reputation of the Xie family in Yuanwu City is well-known. You dare to take our belongings; naturally, you won't get away with it easily!" Xie Qiyi disregarded everything now. He wanted to see if the Yuan family would really confront the Xie family for these two individuals.

Seeing Xie Qiyi's attitude, Yuan Hongyang's eyes flashed with displeasure. He didn't expect Xie Qiyi to be so ignorant and clearly intended to engage in a direct confrontation with the Yuan family.

"You speak with such arrogance. Are you implying that the Xie family's words are absolute truth in Yuanwu City?" Baili Hongzhuang's lips curled into a mocking smile. Xie Qiyi seemed to speak without thinking, forgetting that the Xie family wasn't the only dominant force in Yuanwu City.

Xie Qiyi glanced at Baili Hongzhuang but ignored her, shifting his gaze back to Yuan Chengshuo.
