Chapter 643 Burning with Anger
Xie Sanbao saw the radiant girl outside the door and showed a doting smile: "Yueling, why are you being so impolite? Didn't you see that I'm discussing something with your Uncle Li?"
That girl was Xie Yueling, the person I was supposed to protect!
My gaze, however, fell on the young man behind Xie Yueling. He had fair skin, red lips, white teeth, a slender figure, and hair that fell past his shoulders.
The swallow-tailed coat on his body didn’t make him look like a refined gentleman. Instead, it made him seem like a martial world swordsman, only he had exchanged a warrior’s long robe for formal attire.
That person’s temperament seemed somewhat similar to Ye Yang’s, yet also different.
Ye Yang’s coldness was a kind of indifference that seemed to have followed him through several lifetimes, an innate detachment.
That person’s coldness could only be described as a reserved sharpness.
Xie Yueling walked a few steps to Xie Sanbao’s side: "Dad! Let me introduce you to a friend. This is Lin Zhao, the heir to the Coffin Gate, the number one school in the art of术道 (shudao, Taoist arts). People call him Young Master Gui Guan (Mystic Coffin)." He can help me…"
Before Xie Yueling could finish speaking, Xie Sanbao’s expression darkened: "Nonsense!"
Xie Sanbao slammed the table: "I've already invited Hall Master Li. If you invite other术士 (shushi, Taoist practitioners), aren't you making me break my promise?"
Xie Yueling pouted: "Dad! I don’t trust Liangjie Tang (Two Realms Hall). How many times have they come before? Have they solved my problem?"
Only then did Xie Sanbao patiently say: "They couldn't solve the problem before because Hall Master Li hadn't taken action. Now that Hall Master Li is here, I believe he can solve the problem you’re having."
"So what if Li Po is here?" Xie Yueling said, "His subordinates are so useless, how strong can he be? I think their Liangjie Tang (Two Realms Hall) is just a bunch of charlatans."
"Shut up!" Xie Sanbao was so angry that his face turned green: "Bringing people from the Coffin Gate is truly inviting wolves into the house."
Xie Sanbao pointed at Lin Zhao and said: "Get out of here! The Xie family will not hire you, and will not have any connection with the Coffin Gate."
Lin Zhao calmly said, "Mr. Xie, first I want to clarify three points. First, I am not a member of the Coffin Gate, at least not yet."
"Second, my employer is Miss Xie Yueling, not you."
"Third, Miss Yueling’s business is an assessment task given to me by the Coffin Gate. Although I am unwilling to accept it, I have no choice but to do it. Therefore, I will not withdraw."
Xie Sanbao was so angry at being contradicted to his face that his chest heaved: "Yueling, fire him immediately."
"Why should I?" Xie Yueling said angrily, "Is Li Po definitely stronger than Lin Zhao? If you let Li Po protect me, I will definitely not cooperate with him. Moreover, I also have the right to fire Li Po."
"You, you…" Xie Sanbao was trembling with anger, but he could do nothing about Xie Yueling.
Xie Yueling looked at me and said: "What are you still standing here for? Are you planning to continue freeloading?"
"Xie Yueling!" Yun Chang was the first to get angry: "You can choose not to use Liangjie Tang (Two Realms Hall), but you are not allowed to insult Liangjie Tang (Two Realms Hall). If you say another word insulting Liangjie Tang (Two Realms Hall), I will be the first to be rude to you."
Xie Yueling said disdainfully: "Do you think you are still the young miss you used to be?"
Before Xie Yueling could finish speaking, a murderous intent had already flashed in my eyes, and my gaze towards Xie Yueling became colder and colder.
Xie Sanbao immediately sensed the danger: "Yueling, if you continue to talk nonsense, get out."
Seeing that Xie Sanbao was really angry, Xie Yueling stood aside sullenly.
Xie Sanbao cupped his fist at me: "Hall Master Li, I apologize for the embarrassment. Yueling has really been spoiled by me."
I said coldly: "Mr. Xie, I'm afraid I can't take your business. Please find someone else! Yun Chang, call Xiao Chun and Qin Xin, let's go."
"Hall Master Li, please stay…" As Xie Sanbao was about to stop me, Yun Chang exclaimed: "We can't contact Xiao Chun and them."
My footsteps stopped, and the murderous intent on my body soared. Ye Yang's figure swayed slightly, blocking the door of the reception room.
Although Feng Ruoxing didn't move, his eyes locked on Xie Sanbao, and the short sword in his hand was ready to be drawn.
I stared at Xie Yueling and said, word by word: "Where are the two spirit controllers I sent to protect you?"
Xie Sanbao already felt the danger: "Think carefully before you speak!"
Xie Yueling said in a low voice: "How would I know? I can't even see them."
I turned to look at Lin Zhao: "What about the one who can see them?"
Lin Zhao looked at me with a smile that was not a smile: "Sorry, I just arrived in the provincial capital three hours ago."
I said with a cold gaze: "I hope you're not lying to me. Let's go!"
As I turned to leave, I heard Xie Yueling sneer: "What Liangjie Tang (Two Realms Hall)? You can't even solve such a small matter, yet you think you're some kind of expert?"
Xie Sanbao said helplessly: "The Wolf King of Liangjie Tang (Two Realms Hall) is about to go crazy. This is terrible."
As I walked out quickly, my mind was constantly calculating countermeasures.
The disappearance of Nie Xiao Chun and Qin Xin was either related to Xie Yueling, or the Coffin Gate was forcing me to take action.
No matter which outcome it was, it was difficult for me to deal with.
I said in a deep voice: "Contact Zhao Ci and have him investigate the movements of the Coffin Gate, including that Lin Zhao. Also, ask Lao Liu how the preparations are going? Can we make a move now and make the Coffin Gate hurt a little?"
