Chapter 970 –Sanctimonious, Xie Qiyi

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

Yuan Chengshuo’s handsome face, admired by others, appeared extremely ugly to Xie Qiyi’s eyes. Over the years, various conflicts with the Yuan family had rendered their relationship irreconcilable.

“I didn’t expect Young Master Yuan to grace us with his presence today. It seems that this Di Beichen is quite important to your Yuan family,” Xie Qiyi said, his deep voice carrying a mocking tone.

In recent years, Yuan Chengshuo had inherited the position of the family head, holding a high status, so he rarely appeared in such gatherings. His presence today indicated a desire to provoke the anger of the Xie family using Di Beichen.

Smiling in greeting at Di Beichen and Baili Hongzhuang on the second floor, Yuan Chengshuo then turned his attention to Xie Qiyi.

“Di Beichen is a friend of my younger brother and a guest of the Yuan family. Naturally, we won’t stand idly by and ignore him.”

Yuan Chengshuo remained composed, as he did not think there was anything wrong with the Yuan family’s actions.

“You put on quite a self-righteous appearance. Yesterday, these two took Honglang’s Qiankun Bag. How could I let others take away my Xie family’s things like this? No matter what, I must retrieve it,” Xie Qiyi declared firmly. Facing the current situation, as the prospective next head of the Xie family, he couldn’t afford to back down.

Witnessing the confrontation between Xie Qiyi and Yuan Chengshuo, the onlookers exchanged glances. This good show was really unexpectedly exciting.

“Yesterday, it was Honglang who brought trouble upon himself. I took his Qiankun bag as a face-saving measure for the Xie family. Now, you’re making such a fuss. I didn’t expect the dignified Xie family to be so unreasonable,” Baili Hongzhuang’s clear and melodious voice chimed in, her beautiful face bearing a faint mocking smile.

Baili Hongzhuang casually stroked the fur of the white lion, displaying an indifferent attitude. She and Di Beichen had deliberately avoided causing too much trouble in Yuanwu City yesterday, only confiscating Honglang’s Qiankun bag. Yet, it seemed that the Xie family had learned nothing from the experience.

In response to Baili Hongzhuang’s words, Xie Qiyi’s expression grew even more unpleasant. Her nonchalant demeanor made him appear petty.

“What do you mean by ‘unreasonable’? In Yuanwu City, the reputation of my Xie family is well-known. If you dare to take something from my Xie family, you won’t get away with it easily!”

Ignoring Baili Hongzhuang, Xie Qiyi focused his gaze on Yuan Chengshuo, clearly prepared to confront the Yuan family head-on. I want to see if the Yuan family will really make an enemy of the Xie family because of these two people!

Seeing Xie Qiyi’s defiant attitude, Yuan Hongyang’s eyes flashed with displeasure. He hadn’t expected Xie Qiyi to be so arrogant, seemingly ready to go head-to-head with the Yuan family.

“Your arrogance knows no bounds. So, in Yuanwu City, whatever the Xie family says is the absolute truth?” Baili Hongzhuang scoffed, her lips curling into a mocking smile. Xie Qiyi seemed to speak without thinking, forgetting that Yuanwu City wasn’t dominated by the Xie family alone.

Ignoring Baili Hongzhuang’s remark, Xie Qiyi turned his gaze back to Yuan Chengshuo.
