"I didn't expect things would end up like this..."
Duan Lengyan shook her head, sighing.
"You Tianbao guys are real damned diehards! But I have to warn you! My family and I won't let you get away with it! The days of the Tianbao Mansion's operation are numbered!"
On hearing Qiu Yunchong's intimidation, Wu Qiujun got even more dismissive.
"Really? Well, truth be told, when it happens as you predict, your family will come to no good either. I can say for sure."
"Are you joking? Nobody dares to say that in the Yunzhong City!"
Qiu Yunchong roared with fury.
In the meantime, his black-dressed bodyguards soon strode forth, tugging their swords out with the blades pointing at Wu Qiujun.
Wu didn't resign to playing second fiddle, either.
Suddenly, he flipped over his palms, conjuring up a burst of formidable spiritual energy; it bounced to and fro in his hands, flickering constantly, like a demon preying on mortals.
"Are they truly gonna fight?"
Tang Xinyi held her breath forthwith, expectation swelling up in her eyes.
So did Leng Yuecui, Wu Yang and Zong Qi. They couldn't wait to watch Qiu Yunchong and Wu Qiujun engage a fight. That would, by all means, entertain them to the full.
On the brink of the fight, Wandong cut in with a sneer.
"Hang on guys. You know it is not easy for us to make each other's acquaintance. Why bother to fall out just because of petty issues?"
On hearing that, all present went confused right away.
Pretty weird!
How come Wandong suddenly acted as a peacemaker for Wu and Qiu? What was he after on earth?
"Xu Yaoting, what has come into you? Did Wu Qiujun beat you brain-dead?"
Staring at Wandong with a spaced-out look for a minute, Tang Xinyi managed to recollect herself.
"Er? Let me have a look!"
On hearing Tang Xinyi's inquiry, Xu Wenchuan went startled and reached out his hand toward Wandong's head in spite of himself out of sheer concern.
Wandong flinched from his granddad's check, smiling wryly.
Casting a feinted glare at Tang Xinyi, he answered back.
"Nonsense! How come you prank on me like that?"
"But..."
"But what? Silly girl, I didn't expect you to be such a malicious chick. You can't turn a blind eye to them when they are in danger simply because you wanna look on. That's a bad mindset!"
"I..."
Tang Xinyi got a nasty shock after Wandong gave her a relentless dressing-down.
He stood to reason to be the one who hated Qiu and Wu the most, as he almost got put down by the two guys.
Now he even had the levity to mediate their disputes: he appeared just like a stupid good guy in everyone's eyes.
Not to mention Tang Xinyi and Leng Yuecui, Wu Qiujun and Qiu Yunchong, his deadly enemies, went equally baffled.
They, to be exact, became more vigilant than confused about his unreasonable reaction.
Well, one could tell the reason why they stayed on the alert — they both had lost to Wandong times without number.
