Chapter 308: The Humiliation Before the Spirit Hall
"Lilili!"
Just as Lilili was about to rush towards Hong Qichang, Xiao Yun reached out and held her back.
He softly reminded her, "Don't act rashly!"
Xiao Yun's words immediately calmed the furious Lilili.
Indeed, if she acted impulsively, wouldn't it expose the fact that her father killed Bai Man?
At that time, even her brother Xiao Yun would be implicated.
She snorted lightly in her nose, reluctantly sitting back in her original position.
Hong Qichang did not notice Lilili's side; his eyes suddenly fixed on Cold as Ice. He chuckled and said, "You must be Master Lu's Cousin Sister, Cold as Ice, right? Seeing you in person is better than hearing about you a hundred times; you truly are a beauty. Alas, now that Master Lu is gone, I wonder who will benefit from it!"
This was clearly a provocation aimed at Guoguo!
His meaning could not be clearer, as if implying that Cold as Ice had an inappropriate relationship with Lu Jiutang.
Torpedo, standing beside the coffin, instantly darkened his expression.
The Vice Hall Master of the Four Major Branches turned pale with anger, secretly clenching his fists. However, they dared not voice their anger because Master Lu had warned them multiple times during his lifetime that times had changed and they must not engage in conflict with the Flying Tiger Gang at any time.
Lu Jiutang even included this warning in the gang rules.
Everyone knows that Boss does this for the good of the brothers below, essentially telling everyone that the Flying Tiger Gang is not to be trifled with.
When Cold as Ice took office as Vice Hall Master last night, Cao Tianwei had already conveyed Lu Jiutang's gang rules to her.
Normally, Cold as Ice wouldn't care about these things and would have acted out of anger long ago. However, she thought about how this was at her brother-in-law's funeral and truly did not want to disturb his spirit, so she gritted her teeth and swallowed her anger.
Xiao Yun looked at Cold as Ice and nodded secretly; this woman, who usually acted without regard for rules, seemed to have matured a lot overnight.
"Brother Xiao, what should we do?" Lulili asked Xiao Yun in a low voice.
"For now, let's just watch how Hong performs!" Xiao Yun replied nonchalantly.
He sat next to Lulili. Since Hong Qichang's group arrived, he had his arms crossed and was watching Hong Qichang's every move with a slightly mocking gaze, a barely noticeable cold smile playing at the corners of his mouth.
Xiao Yun then quietly warned Lulili, "Oh, by the way, Lili, don't forget what your dad said; you have to call me Uncle!"
"Hmph, I'm calling you Brother!" The little girl pouted and turned her face away in defiance.
Seeing this, Xia Xiaoya leaned closer to Xiao Yun and whispered in his ear, "Brother Xiao, it seems like Lili has taken a liking to you. You need to keep your distance so she knows her place!"
Xiao Yun replied expressionlessly, "I know. You and she are classmates; you also need to call me Uncle!"
"You..." Xia Xiaoya glared at him with beautiful eyes, ready to bite him out of frustration.
"Hmph, I don't believe this girl can't conquer you!"
Xia Xiaoya secretly clenched her delicate fist, thinking to herself.
Then she recalled how her cousin Niu Tian and Xiao Yun were like brothers, and her mood instantly brightened. Hmph, we are of the same generation, so why act like a big shot?
"What's going on? I've come here, and not a single one from the Wolf Gang is breathing?" Hong Qichang provocatively scanned the surroundings and shouted loudly.
At that moment, Cao Tianwei stood up and cupped his fists towards Hong Qichang, saying, "Hong Gang Master, I am Cao Tianwei, the leader of the Wolf Gang's Four Major Branches. If you have something to say, please say it properly!"
Hong Qichang sneered, "Oh, is that so? So with Master Lu gone, the Grand Master position should be yours now?"
"Wrong, Hong Gang Master. Cold as Ice is our Vice Hall Master now!" Cao Tianwei replied coldly.
"It's you?"
Hong Qichang looked at Cold as Ice in surprise, then burst into laughter after a moment. "Well then, congratulations to the beautiful Cold. If I remember correctly, you were the Boss Lady of Passion Bar, right? Ha! In the blink of an eye, you've become the leader of the Wolf Gang. Impressive! Master Lu really thought this through; what do they say? Right, good water doesn't flow to outsiders. Cold Vice Hall Master, beautiful lady, we should get closer in the future!"
His words were clearly meant to sow discord. According to the rules of their circle, with Lu Jiutang gone, the Grand Master's position should be taken over by his most capable subordinate, not someone like Cold as Ice who wasn't even considered part of the gang.
Unfortunately for Hong Qichang, his words received no response. He couldn't have imagined that the Vice Hall Master of the Four Major Branches was a loyal follower of Lu Jiutang; they completely ignored his remarks.
In fact, Hong Qichang had come here with the intention of stirring up trouble. No matter who became the leader of the Wolf Gang, he wanted to incite internal conflict and enjoy the spectacle.
Before coming here, he had also considered Lulili and feared she might publicly expose his kidnapping of her. However, he thought about it again and realized it could be a good thing. If things escalated into a confrontation, his Five Tiger Generals were not to be trifled with. With his influence in the Galactic District, the Wolf Gang was no match for him. It would be better to take this opportunity to wipe out the Wolf Gang once and for all.
But he never expected that after wasting half a day talking, no one responded to him, making him feel like a clown performing a solo act, unable to save face.
Looking at the people in the mourning hall, they all turned their faces away, completely ignoring him.
Hong Qichang's old face felt a bit embarrassed.
Cough cough cough...
Hong Qichang covered his mouth and began to cough.
One of the Five Tiger Generals beside him, Blade, noticed Hong Qichang's awkwardness and thought to himself, if he didn't step up now, when would he?
"Hey, is this how you Lu Family treat guests who come to pay their respects?" Blade shouted with wide eyes and an imposing tone.
Blade was indeed the leader among the Flying Tiger Gang's Five Tiger Generals. He was broad-shouldered and stout, and his voice boomed like thunder rolling over everyone's heads, making their heads buzz.
This person had profound internal strength.
Lulili couldn't help but retort, "Who do you think you are? Did we invite you here?"
Blade turned around and immediately spotted Lulili, his eyes lighting up. "Oh, there's a little beauty here too. Uh, let me take a good look at you!"
He completely ignored Xiao Yun sitting next to Lulili and walked over, raising a finger as if to hook her chin.
Slap!
A sudden slap echoed crisply in the hall.
Xiao Yun had made his move.
Blade hadn't even realized what was happening when his head buzzed, darkness enveloped him, and he was sent flying.
Bang!
He crashed to the ground, bright red blood spraying from Blade's mouth as he spat out a few teeth. His left cheek swelled up like a bun, and bloodshot veins appeared in his eyes, making him look utterly miserable.
No one expected Xiao Yun to strike so suddenly, not even giving a warning. Before Hong Qichang's companions could comprehend the situation, Blade was already lying on the ground, flailing like a dying toad.
Xiao Yun strode forward, standing over Blade and patting his face with a smile. "If you want to die, at least choose the right place. Is this where you act wild?"
Blade struggled to get up from the ground, several teeth missing, his speech slurred and unclear as he shouted, "Who the hell are you? Do you know who I am? You want to die?"
Xiao Yun shook his head, sighed lightly, and placed a foot on Blade's knee. With a slight pressure, there was a crack as the bone shattered, followed by an earth-shattering scream from Blade as he fainted immediately.
"Damn it! How dare you lay hands on our boss? You must want to die!" Sun Batian jumped out.
At the same time, Hong Qichang's people glared fiercely and prepared to rush at Xiao Yun.
However, when Lu Shan recognized that the young man was Xiao Yun, he shivered all over in fear. Oh no, how did this calamity come here? His face turned pale instantly, and he stepped back in fright.
"Lu Shan, what's wrong with you?" Hong Qichang asked, clearly displeased with Lu Shan's retreat.
"Lu Shan stammered, 'He... he is Xiao Yun!'"
As soon as he said this, the others who were ready to rush forward and teach Xiao Yun a lesson froze in place, their faces turning pale and their eyes filled with immense fear, as if they had been hit by a paralysis spell. None of them dared to take a step closer.
They had already heard that this guy had transcended the realm of Earthlings, having destroyed an entire building with a single punch. What chance did they have against him? It would be like throwing eggs at a rock.
Initially, they thought that Blade had simply made a mistake and that this young man had taken advantage of the situation to land a lucky hit. But now it was clear that his strength was undeniable; who would willingly go up against him?
'You... so you are Mr. Xiao?'
Hong Qichang internally lamented the connection between this plague and the Lu Family, but he had no choice but to greet Xiao Yun.
Xiao Yun smiled and stared at Hong Qichang, asking, 'Do you know me?'
Hong Qichang forced a smile and replied, 'Hehe, I have only heard of your great name; today is my first time meeting Mr. Xiao. It is truly a rare honor. Uh, may I ask why Mr. Xiao is here?'
'Master Lu is my older brother, so of course I came!' Xiao Yun responded coldly.
Hong Qichang's heart sank; damn it, why didn't I find out sooner? When did this plague become brothers with Lu Jiutang?
'I sincerely apologize for disturbing everyone; I shall take my leave now!' Hong Qichang realized he had miscalculated today and decided that retreat was the best option.
As he motioned for someone to help Blade up and was about to leave, he suddenly heard Xiao Yun's extremely cold laughter from behind him: 'Hong Gang Master, may I ask what brings you here today?'
Hong Qichang stiffened and had no choice but to turn around. 'Hehe, I came this time to bid farewell to Master Lu!'
Xiao Yun said, "Oh, since that's the case, I don't think Hong Gang Master was raised on shit, right? How can you not understand a bit of etiquette? In this world, the deceased should be respected. At the very least, before you leave, you should light some incense for my brother and bow a few times!"
As soon as he said this, many people were taken aback, secretly alarmed. Wasn't this guy challenging Hong Qichang's bottom line? With Hong's temper, wouldn't this cause a scene in the entire memorial hall?
In the underground world of the Galactic District, who would dare to say that someone with the surname Hong was raised on urine?
Wasn't this a death wish?
At that moment, even the Four Great Hall Masters of Wolf Gang felt a chill for what Xiao Yun had just said.
However, to everyone's surprise, after hearing Xiao Yun's words, Hong Qichang nodded repeatedly with a very difficult expression and said, "Uh, yes, yes, Mr. Xiao is right. It was my rudeness!"
Everyone was stunned! Cold Brow thought to himself, no wonder Liu Jiutang wanted to entrust me and Lily to this person; it turns out Xiao Yun really has some power.
To be able to humiliate Hong Qichang like this in front of everyone, there probably wasn't anyone else in the Galactic District who could do it.
Hong Qichang approached Lu Jiutang's portrait, lit incense, bowed his head, and said, "Brother Lu..."
"Wait!" Xiao Yun shouted again. "How can a beast call itself a brother? Don't you think your earlier address was wrong?"
"You..." Hong Qichang's expression changed, but he didn't dare to get angry.
In front of so many people, how could one be so humiliating?
Hong Qichang felt like crying.
However, when Hong Qichang's gaze first met Xiao Yun's cold and fierce eyes, he feared that if he provoked this calamity, a punch to his crown would mean he wouldn't leave this spirit hall alive.
"Master Lu, I... I am a beast..." Hong Qichang forced himself to kneel there, murmuring.
Cold as Ice, Cold Brow, and everyone in Wolf Gang cast astonished glances at Xiao Yun. Many who did not recognize him whispered among themselves:
"Who is this person? Why haven't I heard the Boss mention him?"
"I never expected that the one surnamed Hong would act like a mouse encountering a cat in front of him!"
"This is truly satisfying; who would have thought that the arrogant Hong Qichang would end up like this today!"
They indeed could not believe that the usually domineering Hong Qichang would be so submissive in front of Xiao Yun. Was the sun rising from the west? What was going on?
The Four Great Hall Masters, along with Torpedo, looked at Xiao Yun with admiration.
Xia Xiaoya gazed at Xiao Yun with stars in her eyes. Although she did not know who Hong Qichang was, she could tell that this guy had considerable influence. Seeing Xiao Yun humiliate him to such an extent was truly gratifying.
This girl cast a challenging glance at Lulili, thinking to herself, sorry old classmate, but such a handsome guy belongs to me, Xia Xiaoya!
After finishing his incense offering and bowing his head to Lu Jiutang, Hong Qichang finally got up from the ground.
Xiao Yun stepped forward and blocked him, saying, "Hong Gang Master, I've heard that you have many informants under your command. In your opinion, who do you think is behind my brother Lu's death?"
