Tang Zhongxin and the other two overheard part of Liu Xiaoyuan's conversation with Ye Sheng. They exchanged glances, knowing that Ye Sheng was going to stand up for his beloved grandson Ye Zifan and teach Liu Xiaoyuan a lesson.
However, the three of them did not immediately distance themselves from Liu Xiaoyuan just because Ye Sheng wanted to teach him a lesson, because they still believed that Ye Sheng was just a master at the peak of the Transformation Realm.
Ye Sheng, a peak-level expert in the Transformation Realm, was not a fatal threat to Tang Zhongxin and his two companions at all!
"Brother Liu, was that Old Master Ye on the phone just now?" Tang Zhongxin asked.
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "I don't know who this old man from the Ye family is, but if he dares to mess with me, I'll make him regret it."
These words were extremely domineering, but no one thought Liu Xiaoyuan was bragging, because Liu Xiaoyuan had already achieved the same level of success as them at such a young age, and his future was limitless.
“Of course, even if the patriarch of the Ye family, Ye Sheng, were to make a move, Brother Liu wouldn’t take him seriously,” Li Shuyang said with a smile.
Wang Songren echoed, "Brother Liu has achieved so much at such a young age; how could Ye Sheng compare?"
Just as everyone was flattering Liu Xiaoyuan, all three of their phones received a text message at the same time, and the content of the message was exactly the same.
The text message read: "My father, Master Ye, has successfully broken through the Transformation Realm and reached the legendary Innate Realm. To celebrate my father's achievement of the Innate Realm, I would like to invite you all to my Ye family home early tomorrow morning."
Upon seeing this text message, Tang Zhongxin and the other two's expressions changed, becoming extremely grim. Originally, although the four families had varying degrees of power, they were not too far apart overall. Even when the Ye family produced a prodigy like Ye Zifan, it didn't allow the Ye family to remain the top of the four major families.
However, the situation is different now. Ye Sheng has become a legendary master of the Innate Realm, and everything is different now. As a result, the balance of power among the four families will change, and the Ye family will truly become the head of the four great families, with the other three families having to act according to the Ye family's wishes.
No one wants to see this happen in the other's family; everyone hopes that such a good thing will happen to their own.
Just like the text message Ye Chengxin sent now, it seems to be an invitation to the three families, but the three of them feel that Ye's family is using a commanding tone.
In the past, Tang Zhongxin and his two companions could have simply ignored such a text message. Who does the Ye family think they are? Why should I listen to you? I can come whenever I want, and what can you do to me if I don't come?
But things are different now. Ye Sheng has become a master of the Innate Realm, the only one among the four great families. Although Tang Zhongxin and the others have never seen a master of the Innate Realm, they know that there is an insurmountable gap between a master of the Transformation Realm and a master of the Innate Realm. Otherwise, the Innate Realm would not be called a legendary realm.
So, when Tang Zhongxin and his two companions saw the text message, despite their reluctance, they had to go. At the same time, recalling Ye Sheng's earlier conversation with Liu Xiaoyuan, they immediately understood why the Ye family wanted them to go to their home the next morning.
It seems that Ye Sheng is really going all out for his precious grandson Ye Zifan, even risking the infamy of bullying the younger generation to personally teach Liu Xiaoyuan a lesson.
"Three patriarchs, what's wrong? Why do you look so pale?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked when he saw the three of them looking so unwell.
Upon hearing this, the three immediately shook their heads and said it was nothing, then stood up from their chairs and took their leave.
Tang Zhongxin and his two companions were also opportunistic individuals. They initially fawned over Liu Xiaoyuan because they saw value in him. The reason they left in such a hurry was that they didn't want to be associated with Liu Xiaoyuan anymore.
In the eyes of Tang Zhongxin and the other two, Liu Xiaoyuan had offended a master of innate level like Ye Sheng, and his fate would definitely be terrible.
Tang Zhongxin and his two companions did not want to provoke a master of innate level, so they had no choice but to distance themselves from Liu Xiaoyuan in order to avoid being resented by Ye Sheng!
Liu Xiaoyuan was a little confused by the sudden departure of Tang Zhongxin and the other two. He didn't understand what was going on. Just a moment ago, they were all calling him "Brother Liu," but now they were acting like they had seen a plague god and wanted to sever ties with him immediately.
"Brother Liu, take care of yourself!" Tang Zhongxin and the other two stopped at the door and said to Liu Xiaoyuan.
What does "behave yourself" even mean? Is it all because of that old man from the Ye family's phone call? No, wait a minute. After making that call, Tang Zhongxin and the other two even flattered him. If it were because of that call, they would have run away long ago.
"By the way, all three of our phones received a text message at the same time just now. This matter must be related to the text message!" Liu Xiaoyuan analyzed, but he couldn't see the content of the text message.
Forget it! Whatever it is, as long as it doesn't bother me! Liu Xiaoyuan comforted himself like this. After eating a little something, Liu Xiaoyuan was about to leave, but was stopped by the waiter, who said that he hadn't paid the bill yet.
Upon hearing this news, Liu Xiaoyuan naturally cursed Tang Zhongxin and the other two. They had promised to treat him to dinner tonight, but in the end, he had to pay for the meal himself. What a rip-off!
Hmph, if these three guys ever ask me out for dinner again, I'll make them pay my bill first before we eat.
Fortunately, Liu Xiaoyuan wasn't short of money, so he immediately swiped his card to pay the bill and then went back to his room to sleep with his sister.
Liu Xiaoyuan slept soundly until dawn. He stretched and yawned, just then his phone rang.
Upon taking the call, Liu Xiaoyuan saw it was from Ye Chengxin. After answering, he immediately said, "What exactly does your Ye family want? Last time, it was Ye Zifan who shamelessly insisted on fighting me. Do you think I wanted to fight Ye Zifan? Now that you've lost, what do you want? Does your Ye family have any shame?"
As soon as Shao Yitian answered the phone, he rattled off a whole bunch of things. After Liu Xiaoyuan finished speaking, Ye Sheng's voice came from the other end of the line: "Kid, I'll say it again, you either come to my Ye family's door this morning and kneel down and cripple your own legs, or your life is in danger!"
Hearing Ye Sheng's voice again, saying the same things, Liu Xiaoyuan got angry and said, "Damn it, who do you think you are? I don't even care about your Ye family. I don't have time to waste words with you!"
After saying that, Liu Xiaoyuan hung up the phone immediately. Damn it, what Liu Xiaoyuan hated most was people like Ye Sheng who would give you two choices as soon as they opened their mouths, acting like they were the masters of the world.
After hanging up the phone, Liu Xiaoyuan cursed that Lu Siyao was crazy, then dressed up and prepared to go out to call Lu Siyao to have breakfast together, and then see where to go for a trip, planning to go home either tomorrow or the day after.
