Huh?

The young lady’s face turned as red as blood, feeling as if she had been slapped. It turned out that this man was not hitting on her; she had been posing with his car.

But the young lady had thick skin. She had just been bragging that this was her brand-new car, so being figuratively slapped in the face was merely a two-second embarrassment for her. In an instant, she put on a charming smile. Her eyes grew gentle, and in a delicate voice, she said, "So this is your car."

"Does that have anything to do with you?" Ye Xiu replied indifferently, taking out his keys and opening the door to get in.

"Oh, I didn’t know this was your car. Well, how about you give me a ride home? We could have a cup of coffee or something at my place."

The young lady wrapped her arm around Ye Xiu’s, the implication clear: going to her place could involve activities other than just drinking coffee...

"A loser like me is only fit to drink plain boiled water. I’d cough if I had coffee."

Ye Xiu shook off her hand, climbed into the car, and slammed the door shut. With a roar of the engine, the young lady watched regretfully as the Maserati sped away.

On the other side, Cao Ting came out just in time to see Ye Xiu getting into his car from a distance. She finally realized that Ye Xiu had not been bragging before; the man was genuinely wealthy. Another wave of regret washed over her, and her mood soured.

「...」

On his way back to the Long Family Manor, Ye Xiu received a dozen photos and a text message from Gong Jin.

"There were too many people entering the Long Family Manor this time. It was difficult for our intelligence agents to capture everyone’s face, but these photos should give you a rough idea of what they all look like."

Ye Xiu looked through the photos. Indeed, none of them captured everyone’s face fully. There were simply too many people, and they were all looking around like country bumpkins in the city, which made it very difficult to get a good frontal shot of anyone. However, putting the dozen photos together provided side views, three-quarter views, and front views of everyone.

After reviewing the photos, Ye Xiu sent them to Mo Luo, instructing him to show them to Shen Songshan.

Mo Luo quickly texted back, "Shen Songshan says the old man with the full head of white hair is the Long Family’s leader."

Ye Xiu hurriedly checked the photos and spotted the Long Family’s leader at a glance. However, among the dozen or so photos, there was only a single side view of him.

But that was not important. Confirming that this man was the Long Family’s leader was all that mattered.

A towering Killing Intent blazed in Ye Xiu’s heart. The true murderer of my mother and grandparents... He has finally shown his face!

Ye Xiu floored the accelerator, racing back to the Long Family Manor at top speed.

Before the car had even stopped, he saw 486 people gathered in small groups, chatting. A single glance told Ye Xiu that, to his astonishment, all of them were War Gods or masters of an even higher level.

Ye Xiu counted and found there were fourteen masters above the rank of War God, and all of them were very young. The oldest appeared to be in his thirties, while the majority were in their twenties.

My God! The Long Family’s depth of power is truly terrifying. To casually send out fourteen young masters above the rank of War God... just how many older masters above that rank does the entire Long Family have?

The loud roar of the Maserati as it suddenly entered the Long Family Manor instantly attracted the attention of all 486 members of the Long Family. "Who is that?" someone asked.

"Who are you?" an arrogant-looking young man asked as Ye Xiu got out of the car.

The others also gathered around, their expressions wary as if facing a great enemy.

"I am Ye Liangchen. And who might you be?" Ye Xiu asked, feigning ignorance.

Oh? The 486 people were stunned for a moment, and they all began to size him up. They had long heard Ye Liangchen’s famous name, but this was their first time seeing him. They had not expected him to be so young and strikingly handsome.

"We are from the Long Family!" the arrogant young man said. "My name is Long Yifei, and my grandfather is Long Tianhao, the sixth of the Long Family’s six elders."

He’s announcing his identity right away to intimidate me... However, those words just prove he’s an ignorant and conceited fool. Still, for a man of twenty-three or twenty-four to possess strength beyond a War God, his talent is remarkable. His status in the Long Family probably isn’t low, either.

Ye Xiu asked, "How can you prove you’re from the Long Family?"

This old trick again! Long Yifei said angrily, "If I say I’m from the Long Family, then I am. No proof is needed. Besides, you aren’t worthy of me proving my identity to you."

"Insolent!" a rebuking voice suddenly called out.

Ye Xiu turned toward the sound and saw a white-haired centenarian emerging from his villa.

No wonder I haven’t seen the Long Family’s leader. So he was hiding in the villa!

Upon seeing his enemy, Ye Xiu barely suppressed the Killing Intent in his heart. For one thing, if he released it, the Long Family’s leader would undoubtedly sense it with his level of power. For another, he did not want to kill the man just yet. For an enemy responsible for such a blood feud, I must play with him and torment him enough before finally granting him death!

"You scoundrel, who gave you the courage to speak to Mr. Ye like that?" The Long Family’s leader walked up to Long Yifei and slapped him across the face as he rebuked him.

The whole crowd was shocked.

Nobody expected the Long Family’s leader to slap Long Yifei in public for Ye Liangchen’s sake. After all, Long Yifei was one of the six great geniuses of the Long Family, highly regarded by the six elders, and a strong contender for the position of Young Master. This action by the Long Family’s leader was an immense show of favor toward Ye Liangchen.

"You hit me?" Long Yifei reacted, looking at the family’s leader in disbelief. "Ye Liangchen is just the disciple of the Evil Doctor Nangong Lie. His identity, status, and strength are far beneath mine. For trash like him, you actually hit me in public?"

SLAP!

The Long Family’s leader gave Long Yifei another slap and said coldly, "Compared to Ye Liangchen, you are the trash. Apologize to him immediately, or I will cripple you."

What? The Long Family’s leader is actually threatening to cripple Long Yifei to force an apology to Ye Liangchen? It seems that in the leader’s heart, Ye Liangchen’s status is higher than Long Yifei’s!

Instantly, those present who had looked down on Ye Liangchen quickly dropped their disdainful attitude.

"Ye Liangchen, I’m sorry. My attitude was improper just now. Please forgive me."

Scared, Long Yifei hurriedly apologized to Ye Xiu. He knew the Long Family’s leader always kept his word. If he did not apologize, the leader would truly cripple him.

"No need to apologize. I don’t stoop to the level of petty children," Ye Xiu said indifferently.

The statement lacked any lethal force but was extremely humiliating. It was clear he was treating Long Yifei as a junior.

Long Yifei seethed with inner fury, but with the Long Family’s leader present, he dared not act out. He could only suppress his anger. I’ll deal with Ye Liangchen after the leader leaves.

"Ye Liangchen, I’m truly sorry for the farce. This youngster, Long Yifei, grew up in the deep mountains, and this is his first time out; he hasn’t seen much of the world. Add to that his pride in his status and talent, and he has a rather difficult personality. Please don’t take offense at his behavior," the Long Family’s leader said to Ye Xiu with a kind face and a chuckle.
