"Xie Gongzi, allow me to introduce Jin Hao Lin, Lou Yue, Yin Bai Xuan, Zhu Zhou, and He Zhao."
Ruan Zi Ji’s introduction was curt, offering only names and no further words.
His companions were indignant. Who does introductions like this?
Ruan Zi Ji unceremoniously shoved his companions aside.
It was a rare occasion to see Xie Gongzi, and he didn't want these fools cluttering his view!
An introduction was good enough!
It was only because they had worked diligently these past few days!
Otherwise, did they expect Xie Gongzi to even remember their names!
Go home and look in the mirror to see if they were worthy!
Lou Yue jumped up.
Why was he unworthy of having his name mentioned in front of Xie Gongzi!
He was handsome and distinguished!
Shouldn't Xie Gongzi spare him an extra glance!
Ruan Zi Ji: Get lost!
When it came to ruthlessness, his companions were no match for Ruan Zi Ji.
In a few moments, his companions had fallen victim to his dark schemes.
In front of Xie Jiang, they dared not howl in pain and lose their composure.
Truly inhumane!
They watched enviously as Ruan Zi Ji sidled up to Xie Gongzi, while they were forced to trail five paces behind Xie Gongzi.
This was too much!
Did their years of friendship shatter with just one wave from Xie Gongzi?
"When did Xie Gongzi return to the capital?" With no more admirers flocking around Xie Gongzi, Ruan Zi Ji felt the air was fresher.
"Last night," Xie Jiang replied as they walked.
Upon hearing this, Ruan Zi Ji's beautiful fox-like eyes lit up, "Did you specifically come to Xing Shun Bo Fu to find us?"
Otherwise, why would Xie Gongzi, having just entered the capital last night, arrive at Xing Shun Bo Fu so early this morning? Xie Gongzi had no other business here.
So he must have come for them?
No!
Not for them.
Xie Gongzi came for him!
Exclusively for him!
Without him, how would Xie Gongzi even know who Han Zhao and the others were?
He knew Xie Gongzi had him in his heart!
After all, he was so likable!
Ruan Zi Ji happily spun around Xie Jiang.
"Nie Tong said you've been squatting on the walls of these houses every day, cursing. Seeing how hard you’ve worked, I specially brought you into Xing Shun Bo Fu for some fun. Are you having fun?"
Xie Jiang stopped and surveyed Ruan Zi Ji and the others.
"We're having too much fun! These people are so shameless, who wouldn't want to beat them up? Everyone has the right to beat them!"
"But their doors are all tightly shut, and we can't get in. I never expected Xie Gongzi to come and let us in so easily!"
"Not only did they have to invite us in, but after we beat them up, they didn't dare to do anything to us! They had to swallow their anger and send us out properly, hahaha… it was too exhilarating!"
"Beating up trash is exhilarating! So satisfying!"
He Zhao and the others became more excited as they spoke, forgetting the safe distance Ruan Zi Ji had set for them. They all crowded closer to Xie Jiang.
Ruan Zi Ji's face darkened, and he pushed them away one by one.
Xie Gongzi was his! Behave yourselves! Stay away from Xie Gongzi!
Xie Jiang asked them, "Do you want to continue?"
Jin Hao Lin looked a bit stunned, "We can continue?"
Did beating up the Zhu family of Xing Shun Bo Fu not suffice, and they were going to continue beating up the other families?
Was Xie Gongzi that formidable?
"Which family were you planning to visit this afternoon?"
"The Ding family."
"Then let's go to the Ding family."
"Are we really going?"
The companions were all stunned.
They thought they were already quite unrestrained, but compared to Xie Gongzi, they seemed like a group of well-behaved little bunnies?
"Don't you want to go?" Xie Jiang asked them.
"Yes!"
It was such a delightful opportunity, missing it would be a shame. With Xie Gongzi leading them to their homes to beat people up without any hindrance, such a formidable feat would be something they could brag about for months.
Following this, Xie Jiang led the notorious young scions of the capital to visit house after house.
The same methods worked repeatedly.
They harbored intense resentment towards Xie Jiang but were forced to grudgingly invite them in.
Being at someone else's mercy, they could only cower.
After Xie Jiang and his group finished their rampage, they could only clench their fists, grit their teeth, and watch them leave triumphantly.
What else could they do?
Xie Jiang had only collected a small amount of interest this time.
If they angered her, who knew if their family’s young ones might suddenly succumb to poison?
The Poison Doctor was not just skilled in medicine.
Their mastery of poisons was unparalleled.
There were five families who had provoked Xie Jiang this time, including court nobles like the Xing Shun Bo Fu and influential wealthy merchants like the Ding family.
Those coveting her golden goose, the glass factory, were of course far more than just these few.
However, after her fierce counterattack, others with more ideas could only suppress them.
After all, these five families had been thoroughly disgraced by Xie Jiang.
Who would dare to recklessly compete with a true werewolf in ferocity.
Having taken down five families in one go, they had long passed the lunch hour. While exhilarated and happy, everyone was tired and hungry.
So, they found a nearby restaurant to eat.
Zhu Zhou asked curiously while eating, "Xie Gongzi, did Zhu Lao San and the others really not get poisoned?"
Nie Tong ate with gusto, "They really didn't. Do those dogs deserve the Poison Bee's attention?"
"Xie Gongzi is the renowned Poison Doctor. Not only can she miraculously heal and save lives, but she can also administer poison silently. What does it matter if they were poisoned by bees or not? As long as Xie Gongzi has the slightest thought, she can poison them anytime."
It was already mid-afternoon, and the group had expended most of their energy for the day. Ruan Zi Ji also ate ravenously.
"Then did Xie Gongzi poison them just now?" Before Xie Jiang could answer, He Zhao continued on his own, "It's too much of a pity to just beat them up like that. Xie Gongzi should have charged them a consultation fee!"
Yin Bai Xuan nodded vigorously in agreement, "If that were the case, wouldn't it make those families bleed heavily again? Then they would never dare to be so shameless in the future."
Xie Jiang, however, was unconcerned, "It's just a bit of money, what does it matter? You've worked hard for so many days, isn't it more worthwhile to let you have a good time?"
These words stunned Yin Bai Xuan and the others.
That was not just a bit of money.
The five families combined must have been worth tens of thousands of taels of silver.
Tens of thousands of taels of gleaming silver!
In Xie Gongzi's heart, their camaraderie was worth so much money!
Han Zhao blinked, deeply touched, "Xie Gongzi…"
He felt like he was being doted on by a domineering boss.
Han Zhao looked pitifully at Ruan Zi Ji, perhaps he could share Xie Gongzi with him? He promised not to compete for Xie Gongzi's favor with the young marquis, he just…
Just your uncle!
Ruan Zi Ji fiercely shoved Han Zhao's head into the dish of food in front of him.
How dare he harbor such an improper thought!
Zhu Zhou and the others quickly composed themselves, suppressing the admiration on their faces.
But Xie Gongzi was truly too cool!
In the past, why couldn't Xie Gongzi be shared when other things could be?
Seeing Xie Jiang look over, Ruan Zi Ji immediately withdrew his hand.
His fierce expression instantly transformed into a smile and cuteness. (*￣︶￣)
