"Xiao Tian, is what they said true?"
Hearing what everyone was saying, Grandma Xia subconsciously sought confirmation from Wu Tian, her words carrying an unnatural hint of expectation and inquiry.
Wu Tian nodded slightly, his words chilling and resolute, “The Qin family wiped out my entire clan. This is an irreconcilable feud. Blood debts must be repaid in blood, and those who aided and abetted the evil will be dealt with one by one.”
His voice, though soft, was like ice cracking stone, freezing the surrounding air.
"Great! This is truly gratifying!" Upon hearing this, Old Madam Xia's eyes sparkled with tears of excitement and joy, her excitement overflowing. "The revenge for Xiaoxue's parents has finally been served, and our Xia family is no longer bound by shackles. We will surely be able to live with our heads held high."
The unease and anxiety she felt earlier vanished at this moment. She held Xia Xue's hand tightly and said kindly, "Xiao Xue, now that the Qin family has been destroyed, you can finally relax. No one will be able to bother you from now on. Just stay here."
Upon hearing this, Xia Xue felt a mix of emotions.
Although the Qin family was destroyed, the even more powerful Sun family was behind them.
Wu Tian is about to challenge the Sun family, which will surely be a perilous journey with no clear outcome.
She pondered to herself, unwilling to see the old lady looking worried, yet unable to refuse her request.
A wave of emotion washed over her, and her expression froze; she didn't know how to respond.
Just then, Li Fengjiao said with a smile, "Xiaoxue, Grandma has been longing for you for eight years. How can you bear to refuse this longing?"
Xia Xue turned to look at Grandma Xia, let out a soft breath, and hesitated before saying, "Grandma, actually, Tian Ge and I still have some things to take care of."
Upon hearing this, Xia Zhonghai quickly offered gentle advice, speaking like a loving father, "Whatever it is, feel free to confide in your second uncle. Your second uncle will certainly do his best to help you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Wu Tian interrupted calmly, his tone carrying a hint of contempt, "I'm afraid you can't handle our matter."
Xia Zhonghai looked embarrassed for a moment, then covered it up with a smile. "Xiao Tian is right. I know that I am not good enough to take on such a big responsibility. But no matter what, we have to eat. Let's have dinner first. It's a rare opportunity for us to get together."
In his speech, he naturally referred to himself as the second uncle, and even gently took Wu Tian's arm, leading him outside, showing great intimacy in his actions.
Despite Xia Zhonghai and Li Fengjiao's superb acting skills, Wu Tian had already seen through everything.
A faint smile played on his lips, his words laced with a hint of probing, "If I were to fall out with the Sun family of Linhai, I wonder if Second Uncle could help me deal with them?"
Xia Zhonghai was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, but then smiled warmly and said earnestly, "Xiao Tian, what are you saying? We are family, of the same blood. Of course I will fight alongside you. What is there to fear even when facing the Sun family of Linhai?"
Although he was somewhat afraid of the Sun family, he was certain that Wu Tian was just testing him.
After all, in his view, how could Wu Tian possibly be compared to the Sun family of Linhai? He would never want to antagonize them.
In response to Xia Zhonghai's reply, Wu Tian remained silent, only responding with a faint yet mysterious smile, his deep eyes concealing unseen turmoil.
As the group followed Xia Zhonghai and his wife into the Xia family banquet hall, they saw a young man in blue sitting in the main seat, leisurely enjoying the dinner prepared by Xia Zhonghai.
Beside him stood two burly, imposing men, like two inviolable statues.
The servants of the Xia family stood respectfully at attention, not daring to breathe loudly.
Even Xia Jian, who was usually arrogant, stood respectfully to the side like a eunuch, serving wine to the young man and showing humility.
"Dad, this is Mr. Sun Changsheng."
As Xia Jian saw Xia Zhonghai enter, he hurriedly introduced him, his words filled with reverence.
Upon hearing Sun Changsheng's name, Xia Zhonghai involuntarily trembled.
The anger on his face vanished instantly, replaced by a broad smile.
He greeted him warmly, saying, "Mr. Sun's presence is truly an honor for the Xia family. Although these dishes are simple, we hope Mr. Sun will not find them offensive."
Sun Changsheng's name resounded throughout Linhai.
As Sun Lao's adopted son, he was not only the protector and henchman of the Sun family, but also a symbol of power and influence.
Although Xia Zhonghai was puzzled by the reason for the sudden visit, he also knew that this would be an opportunity for the Xia family to take off.
However, Sun Changsheng did not look up, preoccupied with the food, but his calm words rang out like a thunderclap: "Who is Wu Tian?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Zhonghai involuntarily looked at Wu Tian.
He immediately thought of how Wu Tian had destroyed the Qin family and how the Sun family had found out.
The other party must have been interested in recruiting Wu Tian because of his skill.
He then proudly introduced, "This is Wu Tian, a talented and capable young man."
"Second Uncle!" Wu Tian interrupted softly, "Being too close to me might not be of much benefit to you or the Xia family."
Upon hearing this, Xia Zhonghai's body trembled slightly, and his heart was filled with ripples.
Recalling Wu Tian's earlier mention of the feud with the Sun family, he suddenly realized that those words were not unfounded.
Sun Changsheng has actually come to our door in person, which shows that the feud between Wu Tian and the Sun family is far more complex and profound than imagined.
Thinking of this, a chill ran down his spine, and he asked hastily in a trembling voice, "Mr. Sun, may I ask what business you have with Wu Tiansu?"
Sun Changsheng ignored Xia Zhonghai and stared intently at Wu Tian.
His tone was calm yet carried an undeniable authority as he asked, "Was it you who threatened to go after the Sun family and take the lives of the entire Sun family?"
Although his voice was not loud, it carried the weight of a thousand pounds, striking straight to the depths of the soul and sending chills down one's spine.
Upon hearing this, Xia Zhonghai's legs trembled, finding it hard to believe that Wu Tian would utter such arrogant words.
The Sun family is one of the four major families in Linhai City. Its power is so great that it can make the world change color. There are many martial artists in the family. Who would dare to easily kill the entire family?
He hurriedly dragged Li Fengjiao aside, quickly stepping away from Wu Tian to prove his stance to Sun Changsheng.
Wu Tian glanced at Xia Zhonghai with disdain, then turned to Sun Changsheng with a cold look and replied in an icy tone, "That's right! I am Wu Tian, the one who is going to destroy the Sun family. Do you not expect to live to see tomorrow and are planning to die before the Sun family?"
"Haha!" Sun Changsheng laughed loudly, his laughter carrying a hint of coldness and amusement. "Originally, I didn't believe anyone would dare to challenge the Sun family, but I didn't expect you to be so impressive. I want to see what kind of person you are, that you can say such reckless things."
After saying that, he casually waved his hand.
In an instant, the two burly men pounced on Wu Tian like wild beasts unleashed from their cages.
