After listening, both Cao Meng and the Great Elder’s expressions turned serious.

Because through such descriptions, they knew that the opponent’s strength was really not simple.

"Those who come are not kind, and the kind do not come!"

Praising, they solemnly exchanged another glance.

At this moment, Cao Meng remembered something, rubbing his hands excitedly, "Now, it’s time for Hu Xiaobei to showcase his skills. We can finally see how strong he really is."

"Hu Xiaobei?"

"Yes, Hu Xiaobei! They’ve specifically called him out, haven’t they? If he wins, it’s good news for us. If he loses, we can take the opportunity to kick him out. So no matter how you look at it, we won’t lose anything, right."

"Makes sense!"

The Great Elder’s eyes lit up upon hearing Cao Meng’s detailed account.

He found Cao Meng’s proposal to be quite interesting.

Glancing at the very excited Great Elder, Cao Meng laughed heartily and urged excitedly, "Since you think my proposal is good, what are we waiting for, let’s hurry and inform Hu Xiaobei!"

The Great Elder pondered for a moment and looked at Cao Meng, who was full of excitement, "You go inform Hu Xiaobei, and I will notify everyone else to gather at the entrance to watch the excitement!"

"Great idea, let everyone watch and see if he’s a dragon or a worm."

After saying this, the two of them discussed some details again and then quickly parted ways...

...

"When I get down, I plan to take a short nap, how about you? Any plans?"

In the gazebo, Hu Xiaobei looked at Lin Ya and warmly asked in a soft voice.

Upon hearing Hu Xiaobei’s suggestion, Lin Ya guessed his intention, shot him a big glare, and said lightly, "I think you’d better not think about napping because I feel that trouble will soon seek you out again."

"Trouble? What do you mean?"

Seeing his bewildered look, she giggled quietly, teasing softly, "Little Bei, don’t you feel it yet? You’re like a magnet for trouble. Even if you don’t go looking for it, trouble will find its way to you."

"That’s true!"

Hu Xiaobei thought about it carefully, then nodded, feeling a bit embarrassed. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Indeed!

All these years, trouble had always found its way to him, even when Hu Xiaobei was acting honestly.

Hence, Hu Xiaobei knew he had a knack for attracting trouble.

"I..."

Lin Ya was about to say something when she suddenly heard urgent footsteps.

"It’s not a hallucination, someone is really coming! It seems the trouble I mentioned is about to come true!"

Muttering to herself, she looked off into the distance with interest.

"Is this a jinx? As soon as you said it, someone came. Is it really trouble?"

As Lin Ya looked out into the distance, Hu Xiaobei’s eyelids twitched strongly.

At this moment, Hu Xiaobei also heard the increasingly urgent footsteps approaching.

Hu Xiaobei knew something serious must have happened, otherwise the person coming would not be this tense and hurried.

Thinking this, Hu Xiaobei saw Cao Meng appear.

Seeing Cao Meng’s anxious face, Hu Xiaobei knew he guessed completely right!

Something indeed happened!

And it might be something big.

"An absolute jinx!"

Confirming his suspicions, Hu Xiaobei looked at Lin Ya, secretly labeling her.

Noticing Hu Xiaobei looking at her, Lin Ya stuck out her tongue at him.

At this moment, she also felt a little embarrassed...

...

"Master Xiaobei, something’s happened, Master Xiaobei, something’s happened!"

Hearing Cao Meng speaking quickly and anxiously, Hu Xiaobei gave him a glance and calmly said, "Don’t be nervous, take your time, the sky won’t fall down!"

Saying this, Hu Xiaobei injected a wisp of Nine Wood True Qi into his body from a distance.

This wisp of Nine Wood True Qi wouldn’t let him notice but could calm him down.

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this response, Hu Xiaobei nonchalantly poured himself a glass of water, and just then, heard Cao Meng’s hurried whisper in his ear.

"Master Xiaobei, here’s the situation. Some people came to cause trouble and even injured many of our people. Now, those people specifically called you out."

Giving Cao Meng a glance, Hu Xiaobei calmly continued to ask, "What kind of people came to cause trouble? Do you know?"

"The situation just happened, and not fully investigated yet! But, they don’t seem to have good intentions!"

Hearing his response, Hu Xiaobei looked into the distance and spoke in a gentle tone, "I see! Then let’s go and have a look. I’m quite curious about those who cause trouble on my turf."

"Little Bei, I want to go with you too!"

Hearing Lin Ya’s slightly nervous volunteering, Hu Xiaobei knew she was genuinely anxious now.

With a light smile, Hu Xiaobei nodded and responded calmly, "Of course, you can come along!"

"Great!"

As she nodded excitedly, Hu Xiaobei looked at Cao Meng, saying, "Alright, lead the way. Let’s go meet them and see if those who dare cause trouble truly have three heads and six arms!"

Seeing Hu Xiaobei speaking while walking towards him, an interesting glint flashed in Cao Meng’s eyes, as he proactively asked, "Master Xiaobei, do we need to prepare well, like figuring out a retreat plan?"

"No need, we won’t fail, so no need to plan a retreat in advance."

Hearing Hu Xiaobei’s resolute response, still unsatisfied, he spoke again, "Master Xiaobei, but their strength is truly extraordinary! We’d better have a retreat planned. As they say, as long as the green hills last, there’s no need to worry about firewood!"

Giving Cao Meng, who was advising him, a look, Hu Xiaobei chuckled playfully, "Do you really lack confidence in me that much?"

"How could that be! Master Xiaobei, I have tremendous confidence in you. I’m merely putting forward some suggestions. Don’t read too much into it!"

"Regardless of what you think, it doesn’t matter. I absolutely won’t fail!"

"Yes, yes, yes, then I will lead, I will lead!"

Saying this, Cao Meng quickly led the way.

As he turned his head, a hint of excitement flashed in Cao Meng’s eyes.

He said so much just now to test Hu Xiaobei’s true strength.

Now it seems, Hu Xiaobei must have some skills, otherwise, he wouldn’t dare to follow him to personally handle everything.

"We’ll soon find out how skillful he is!"

While he thought about this, the Great Elder, who had separated from him before, had already notified all the members of the Cao Family, so at this moment, nearly all the Cao Family members began heading straight to the family’s entrance.

As for Hu Xiaobei, they didn’t know him well, so they wanted to take this opportunity to better understand him...

To see if he’s truly qualified to lead them...
