444: When they meet, the war will begin.

“Don’t worry, Little Rou, leave this matter to me…”

After repeatedly assuring Little Rou that he would back her up, Tang Rou finally broke into a smile, and the siblings hung up the phone.

Beep beep beep—

Because Tang Hao had the speakerphone on, his conversation was heard by Huo Qichen.

“Xiao Hao, don’t worry.”

“Tomorrow, I will make proper arrangements and send someone specifically to welcome Uncle Tang and the others…”

Seeing an opportunity to get closer to the Tang Family, Huo Qichen’s chiseled lips curled into a smile, and he spoke eagerly.

“Great! Then I’ll trouble Brother Chen!”

Tang Hao didn’t decline, expressing sincere thanks.

“Don’t mention it! Come, drink! We won’t go home until we’re drunk tonight! Brother Chen will drink first as a toast!”

Huo Qichen feigned generosity, giving a look to the maid beside him, who immediately understood. She picked up a wine glass and brought it to Young Master Huo’s lips, carefully feeding him… The next day, the sun was bright.

Lin Xuan had just woken up when he received a call from his Uncle, asking if he was free and inviting him to Bujiang Bay to watch a ring match.

Today? Bujiang Bay?

Isn’t that the time and place for Cousin’s “Deathmatch”?

After a detailed inquiry, Lin Xuan learned that this was actually his sixth Cousin’s suggestion, and even bringing him along was at his sixth Cousin’s strong insistence… “Okay, (o´ω`o)و Uncle! Then you guys come pick me up, I’ll wait for you at home.”

Lin Xuan agreed without a second thought.

He had originally intended to go to the scene to watch the match, but he lacked a suitable reason. Now, a pillow arrived just as he was dozing off. Yosh! ~~~

؏ ؏ ♦ ᖗ Buddha ◡ Buddha ᖘ ♦ ؏ ؏.

“Wife, I have something to tell you…”

When Lin Xuan fully explained the situation, Su Qingge’s expression stiffened, and she sighed inwardly.

Alas ~~~~

Is this fate?

She had originally intended for Lin Xuan to live his life as an ordinary person, far from the dangerous world of martial artists.

Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes. Some things… are ultimately unavoidable, after all… However, this might also be good… If Lin Xuan could witness the cruelty of the martial artist circle in advance, he would probably distance himself from it voluntarily in the future… “I want to go too.” To ensure Lin Xuan’s safety, Su Qingge requested to accompany him.

“Ah… this?” Lin Xuan was stunned, scratching his head, “Seriously, really?”

“Seriously!!!”

Su Qingge nodded firmly, her tone resolute and beyond doubt.

“╮(╯▽╰)╭ Alright!” Lin Xuan shrugged helplessly, not trying to dissuade her too much.

Anyway, with himself and Cousin there, just watching from a distance, nothing major could possibly happen… Two and a half minutes later.

A motorhome, like a mobile luxury palace, quietly parked at the entrance of Su Family Manor.

As soon as Lin Xuan stepped inside, he felt as if he was in an exquisitely carved luxurious residence.

The spacious living room, with its soft and comfortable sofa, could accommodate several people, seemingly inviting guests to stretch out and enjoy a leisurely time.

The dazzling crystal chandelier cast a soft glow, reflecting the warm luster of the solid wood floor.

The bedroom space was unimaginably spacious, with an oversized double bed covered in top-tier silk bedding, as soft as clouds.

In the kitchen, high-grade marble countertops complemented top-of-the-line appliances, as if custom-made for a Michelin chef.

The bathroom also featured a spacious bathtub and an exquisite vanity, constantly exuding an aura of luxury, allowing one to fully enjoy comfort and ease.

“Not bad! Aunt, this motorhome of yours is a German brand, the Concorde Centurion 1200, right!”

“A global limited edition, priced at least 2,000,000 US dollars. So luxurious, you really know how to enjoy life.”

“…”

Lin Xuan pushed his wife into the motorhome’s living room, greeting Tang Guoan, Tang Chuan, Tang Ling, Xu Shuyun, and others one by one, only omitting the displeased Tang Rou.

The Tang Family members rose with smiles to greet them, and Xu Shuyun even came forward eagerly, giving her Nephew’s wife a warm hug, and responded:

“Isn’t money meant to be spent? Otherwise, why earn so much? If you don’t spend it now, what will you do when you’re old and dead?”

“Let me tell you! The most painful thing in life… is to die with money left unspent.”

“Fortunately, I, your Aunt, earn my own money, otherwise, relying on your Uncle’s meager salary, the whole family would starve! Being a petty leader, he always thinks he’s so impressive, but in reality, he’s nothing.”

“…”

Listening to his wife’s complaints about him, Tang Guoan’s face darkened. He awkwardly touched his nose, unable to refute.

After all, all the family’s current expenses for food, drink, clothing, housing, and transportation were earned by his wife’s company.

As a man who didn’t control the economic lifeline, he might as well pretend he heard nothing Ծ ‸ Ծ… Actually, it couldn’t all be blamed on Tang Guoan!

If he really wanted to “abuse his power for personal gain,” plenty of businessmen would be begging to send money to his home.

However, Tang Guoan was concerned about the world and was unwilling to knowingly break the law, only wanting to be an upright and good official, working diligently for the common people… Soon, the group sat down in the living room, chatting and laughing.

During this time, Lin Xuan pretended to be ignorant, listening to Tang Guoan explain some martial artist concepts to him, making exclamations in cooperation.

“ლ(ٱ٥ٱლ) Wow~~~”

“Martial artists are that amazing! Flying through the sky and burrowing into the earth, I’m so envious~~~”

“Is sixth Cousin’s divine skill perfected? So impressive, is today a Grandmaster battle? What even is a Grandmaster!”

“Hiss~~~~ Isn’t that just a superhero? So terrifying~~~ (ΩДΩ)”

“…”

Looking at his astonished Nephew, Tang Guoan calmly showed off the martial artist anecdotes he had overheard from Tang Hao last night.

His expression was placid, but in reality, his heart was already blooming with joy, smug and delighted. This display of showing off felt incredibly satisfying.

Before, he had constantly been “sweating” from his Nephew’s inner thoughts, even thinking the other party was omniscient… This made him, as an Uncle, lose all dignity in front of his junior, which was very embarrassing.

Now that he finally caught an opportunity to “direct the world,” he naturally had to show off immensely.

One word… Satisfying!!!!!!!

Just as Tang Guoan was lost in self-admiration and smugness, a familiar inner voice sounded, making his face stiffen instantly, dumbfounded on the spot…
