Chapter 191 Cutting Out His Tongue
Bai family in Jiangshi.
"Young Master, rest assured, my son is reliable. He will definitely be able to win over more than half of the family influence in Jiang City for you."
The head of the Bai family personally served tea and water to Xiao Yichen, not forgetting to speak to his own son.
"I hope so. If he can successfully complete the mission, I will credit your Bai family for this achievement," Xiao Yichen said with a faint smile.
"Thank you, young master!" The Bai family patriarch bowed deeply, trying his best to please him.
"Master..." someone rushed in from outside, looking flustered.
"What's the rush?" The Bai family patriarch asked with displeasure.
"Master, the young master sent me to deliver a message... The bar is going to be shut down, and the Jiang family's joint pursuit will also fail..." the servant reported breathlessly.
"What did you say?" The Bai family patriarch's expression changed, and Xiao Yichen's face also fell.
Explain yourself!
"It was a man named Xiao Chen... He caused trouble at the bar, and he has connections with the Security Bureau. The head of the Security Bureau personally ordered the bar to be shut down..."
"Young Master invited the heir of a top family in the province today, and a conflict broke out with him, alarming the heads of those powerful families. They're all at the bar now, but... it seems they went to pay their respects to that Xiao Chen..."
The Bai family patriarch's face turned ugly upon hearing this.
"A major family from the province has arrived?" Xiao Yichen's expression turned slightly serious, his expression meaningful.
"Why would the head of a powerful family in a province show goodwill to someone like Xiao Chen?" The Bai family patriarch couldn't understand.
Xiao Yichen smiled slightly.
"One Rejuvenating Pill and one Longevity Pill are enough," he said with a faint smile. "Without those two pills, he's nothing."
"Young Master, what should we do now?" the Bai family head asked.
Xiao Yichen calmly took out a token and handed it to him.
"Take this order with you and reveal my identity. Even the powerful families in the province won't dare to act recklessly."
"I'll go to the Yin-Yang Sect first, and then I'll be there later." He said before walking out.
"Yin Yang Sect..." The Bai family head's expression changed, and he suddenly felt more confident.
Without further delay, he immediately ordered his servants to prepare a carriage and head to the bar.
……
Inside the bar, Xiao Chen sat in a booth while everyone else stood.
Even the head of the Dongfang family didn't dare to sit there.
The young masters of those powerful provincial families were even more apprehensive, standing there as if being punished.
Meanwhile, the young masters of Jiang City families, including the young master of the Bai family, were kept under guard in a corner.
The head of the Dongfang family gestured for the other family heads who had come with him to step back, and then suddenly knelt down on one knee in front of Xiao Chen.
"Dongfang Qi greets Your Highness!" he called out.
"Greetings, Your Highness!" the other heads of the major families echoed.
"This..." Young Master Dongfang and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.
Young Master Dongfang had never seen his father treat anyone with such respect.
He called that person "Your Highness"...
What Your Highness? What do you mean?
"Is this a period drama?" the young master of the Bai family mocked.
He has already sent someone back to report, and he is not afraid at all.
After all, the Bai family is backed by the Heavenly King Palace.
No matter how much these people act, and no matter how remarkable Xiao Chen is, he doesn't think he can compare to the young master of the Heavenly King Palace.
"Your Highness, my Dongfang family once made a mistake and was expelled from the family by your teacher. But he said that as long as we can correct our mistakes, his successor will accept the Dongfang family again," the Dongfang family head said earnestly.
"The Dongfang family has followed the teachings in recent years and has no longer bullied others. Moreover, we have recruited a group of fresh blood for this palace. Your Highness, please investigate and allow the Dongfang family to rejoin the palace!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen let out a sneer.
"You really didn't bully others by abusing your power?" He glanced at Young Master Dongfang, who was huddled to the side.
The head of the Dongfang family paused for a moment.
"You unfilial son, why aren't you paying your respects to His Highness!" he shouted with a stern face.
Young Master Dongfang dared not disobey and quickly knelt down on one knee.
"Greetings, Your Highness..." he called out.
"The Dongfang family owes its current status entirely to the support of His Highness. You dare to offend His Highness; it wouldn't be an exaggeration for me to cripple you!" the Dongfang family head said coldly.
Young Master Dongfang broke out in a cold sweat.
“Father, I know I was wrong, but I was also misled…” he said, pointing at the young master of the Bai family.
The head of the Dongfang family stared coldly at the young master of the Bai family, who still appeared completely unconcerned.
"Stop putting on an act here. What's with all this talk about Your Highness and Your Majesty? Do you think you're so great?" the young master of the Bai family said with a sneer.
"You're so arrogant!" The head of the Dongfang family glared fiercely.
"The little Bai family is incredibly audacious; they've brought this upon themselves!"
"Hahaha..." Young Master Bai laughed loudly, his expression full of sarcasm.
"It's as if he can destroy my Bai family, how ridiculous... Your Dongfang family may not be able to, but he is even less capable!"
"The backing of the Bai family is so powerful it would scare you to death!"
The head of the Dongfang family was furious. He couldn't reason with such an arrogant person.
Xiao Chen simply waved his hand and uttered two words: "Slap him in the face."
"I'll do it!" Young Master Dongfang volunteered.
"If you dare touch me, the young master will not let you off!" the young master of the Bai family threatened.
"He's a superstar..."
Before Tianwangdian could even finish speaking, Young Master Dongfang slapped him hard across the face.
One slap, and he coughed up blood on the spot.
"How dare you..." The young master of the Bai family glared angrily, roaring as if he wanted to curse.
Young Master Dongfang showed no mercy, slapping him with both hands until his mouth and nose were covered in blood.
The young masters of the Jiang family were terrified.
The young master of the Bai family was also stubborn; even after being beaten to the point of near death, he still refused to back down.
Because he felt that with the Bai family having such powerful backing, he couldn't back down at all.
"You will pay back tenfold or a hundredfold for the humiliation you suffer today!" he roared.
"You've got guts." Xiao Chen raised an eyebrow.
"Then cut out his tongue."
There was a moment of silence after he said that.
As one of the four major families in Jiang City, the Bai family naturally wields considerable influence.
If the young master of the Bai family were to have his tongue cut out, the Bai family would surely go berserk and might even fight to the death.
Even large provincial families would have to think twice...
Young Master Dongfang hesitated.
"You go to the side," the head of the Dongfang family waved his hand and then gestured for one of his subordinates to come over.
Without hesitation, the man wielded a small knife and walked towards the young master of the Bai family.
"How dare you be so audacious!" Panic appeared in the eyes of the young master of the Bai family.
The other party didn't seem to be faking it.
"Are you really fearless? My Bai family has the Heavenly King Palace behind us!" He finally uttered that name.
He thought that the other party would be wary after he spoke out.
However, everyone seemed not to hear it and did not give any response.
Three people held the young master of the Bai family back, preventing him from moving.
The young master of the Bai family looked terrified the moment his tongue was forcibly pulled out.
"Waaah..."
All he could utter at that moment was sobbing.
"Let's see who dares to stop me today!"
At the critical moment, a shout came from the bar entrance.
Upon hearing this voice, the young master of the Bai family breathed a sigh of relief, but also became excited.
