"Damn it, the Murong family is quite fast. They've come knocking again so soon, can't even finish a meal in peace!"
Old Master Murong snorted coldly, then shot up from his chair and shouted, "All people of the Murong family, listen up! Since the Murong family is determined not to let us go, then we, the Zhuge family, will fight them to the end!"
However, as soon as his words fell, Zhuge Heng immediately shouted, "Fight the Murong family? Father, have you lost your mind? With our Zhuge family's small numbers, how can we fight them? Do you know how many people from the Murong family have arrived outside?"
"There are at least thirty of them, and they are all Murong family Iron Guards. It is said that these Iron Guards are all top-notch experts. Furthermore, it seems that two elder-level experts from the Murong family have also arrived!"
Murong Yazhi glanced outside through the window, her face instantly turning pale with fright. She kept saying, "It's over, the Zhuge family is probably finished. If we're not careful, we'll all be in big trouble today!"
Sun Limin glanced at Xiao Yunlong, who was still sitting in his chair and eating with gusto, and pouted, "Didn't this guy named Xiao say he would handle things just now? Why is he staying silent now, acting like a scared turtle?"
Xiao Yunlong couldn't be bothered with this sharp-tongued woman who lacked any discernment. He turned to Tu Fu and said, "Go out and stop them from rushing in. Don't disturb my meal!"
"Yes!" Tu Fu, who had long been impatient, heard the order and immediately got up and walked out.
The people of the Zhuge family were all terrified by the powerful and imposing aura of the Murong family outside, hiding inside like scared turtles.
The Murong family members shouted a few times in the courtyard and, seeing no one come out, were about to charge in. However, at this moment, a burly man, as imposing as a Vajra, rushed out from inside.
"You dogs who bully others with your influence, you actually dare to come knocking! Disturbing my young master's meal, you all deserve to die!"
As the words fell, the large man Tu Fu charged towards the more than thirty Murong family Iron Guards like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.
Originally, these black-clothed Iron Guards of the Murong family were not weak. Each of them was basically a minor grandmaster at the internal energy level. Especially the two leading Murong family elders were grandmasters at the transformation level.
However, with just these people, how could they be a match for Tu Fu, one of the Four Great Generals of the Northern Territory Dragon Blood Guard, the White Tiger General?
They had no resistance whatsoever. In the blink of an eye, the more than thirty Murong family Iron Guards all fell to the ground, including the two Murong family elders, who were sent flying by Tu Fu's two punches and died on the spot.
"A bunch of insignificant birds, go back and tell the Murong family head that if he dares to offend again, I will destroy your damned Murong family! Get out!"
Tu Fu roared, his body exuding an imposing aura.
However, although this fellow had a fiery temper, his actions were not without discretion. For example, of these Murong family members, he only killed the two Murong family elders. As for the other Iron Guards, he merely sent them flying and did not kill them.
The many Murong family Iron Guards dared not utter another word. They hastily picked up the bodies of the two elders and fled like stray dogs.
Many members of the Zhuge family watched this scene through the window, all stunned. Their mouths hung open, frozen in place. Even Zhuge Yazhi was deeply shocked.
"So many Murong family Iron Guards, these are all experts! And they were taken down so easily, this is too strong!"
"Yes, it's terrifyingly strong. To be honest, I couldn't even see clearly what happened just now before those Murong family Iron Guards fell!"
"It seems now that our Zhuge family has escaped a disaster. These friends of Murong Wushuang don't seem to be ordinary people."
Hearing the hushed discussions of the many Zhuge family disciples around, Zhuge Heng's expression was very displeased. In the depths of his eyes as he looked at Zhuge Wushuang, resentment also appeared.
Sun Limin, on the other hand, pouted with disdain.
"Good, very good. I indeed did not misjudge. From a very young age, I saw the unique qualities in Wushuang, knowing that you would achieve great things in this life. Your friends, especially this Mr. Xiao, are even more extraordinary!"
Old Master Zhuge was undoubtedly very pleased. He raised his wine glass again and shouted, "Come, I, this old man, toast all of you. Thank you for helping my Zhuge family out of a predicament!"
Everyone then raised their wine glasses again.
Sun Limin, standing by, couldn't help but want to step forward and scold again. However, this time, Zhuge Heng stopped her.
"Why are you stopping me!" Sun Limin slapped her husband's hand away, glared at him unhappily, and then turned to walk out.
Seeing this, Zhuge Heng turned and followed closely.
They arrived at the villa on the left. Sun Limin could no longer hold back and gritted her teeth, "Zhuge Heng, you useless good-for-nothing, you are completely useless! First, the Murong family came looking for trouble, wanting to cripple your son's hand, and even wanting to strip your daughter naked in public. You didn't have a single solution. All of that aside, now you can't even compare to that bastard Zhuge Wushuang. If this continues, I'm afraid the Murong family's foundation will fall into the hands of that bastard!"
Zhuge Heng's face turned green and white from being scolded, but he didn't dare to retort. He just sneered, "That bastard actually dares to covet my Zhuge family's assets? Do you think he has the life for it? The Murong family has lost two elders this time and will definitely be furious. Do you think the Murong family will let that bastard and his few hangers-on go?"
Sun Limin calmed down at this moment and pondered, "The Murong family naturally won't give up easily. But as you saw just now, that brat named Xiao, especially that big brute, took people down in a few moves, and killed without batting an eye. These are definitely ruthless characters. I'm worried that the Murong family might not be able to deal with them!"
Zhuge Heng waved his hand and snorted, "The Murong family is the foremost aristocratic family in Gusu City. Their strength is definitely not as simple as it appears on the surface. For Zhuge Wushuang's bastard friends to dare to challenge the Murong family is simply like a moth flying into a flame!"
"But if the Murong family destroys those few brats, won't we also suffer?" Sun Limin couldn't help but worry.
Zhuge Heng sighed deeply and said, "That's what I'm worried about. We are like a sandwiched cookie right now, caught between a rock and a hard place. Fortunately, Liu Yun and the others have already taken the opportunity to hide in advance. Also, I have already transferred some of my assets to safety. When the situation becomes unfavorable, we will slip away and leave Gusu City!"
"Good, it seems you haven't done nothing. You're not completely stupid. As for the old man, since he trusts that bastard Zhuge Wushuang so much, he deserves to die when the time comes!" Sun Limin said indignantly.
Meanwhile, in the front hall, after three rounds of wine, the banquet finally concluded.
Zhuge Wushuang suggested taking everyone to tour and admire the city's scenery. After all, Gusu City is an ancient city with a unique historical heritage, preserving many ancient buildings.
Xiao Yunlong readily agreed. He wasn't in a hurry to go to the Eastern Region anyway, and besides, Zhuge Wushuang had finally returned. He should let him revisit his old haunts to satisfy his childhood longing.
The group then filed out of the Zhuge family's old Western-style house and headed towards the city center.
Watching Xiao Yunlong's receding back, Zhuge Yazhi quickly stepped forward and asked, "Brother, are you just letting them go like this? Aren't you worried they'll slip away and never return?"
Zhuge Yaliang turned back and glanced at his younger brother, saying with a hint of disappointment, "Don't you see it even now?"
"See what?" Zhuge Yazhi was completely confused.
Zhuge Yaliang sighed and said to himself, "Don't you think these friends of Wushuang are not simple? Especially that young man named Xiao, he's even more extraordinary!"
Zhuge Yazhi pouted, "I really can't see that. They do have some skills, but with just them, they're probably far from being able to contend with the Murong family, right?"
Zhuge Yaliang no longer wanted to talk to him. He shook his head and turned to walk back to the living room.
Zhuge Yazhi shouted from behind, "Brother, to prevent those guys from slipping away, I think it's still necessary to send some people to follow them secretly..."
"Foolish, you really are a stupid pig!"
Before the other person could finish, Zhuge Yaliang interrupted him angrily, banging his cane and roaring, "I'm telling you, Zhuge Yazhi, if you do that, you'll be harming our Zhuge family! Listen to me, do nothing. They will never slip away!"
"Alright then, I don't know if they'll slip away, but if the situation turns bad, I'll definitely slip away!"
Zhuge Yazhi shrugged, though this latter half of the sentence was only audible to himself.
