That evening, Liu Xiaoyuan received a call from Li Shuyang, who told him about Ye Chengxin's uncle.
Today, Ye Chengxin invited Li Shuyang and the others to have tea at the teahouse. Although Ye Chengxin did not mention that he wanted to deal with Liu Xiaoyuan, the implication was clear: he wanted to teach Liu Xiaoyuan a lesson to avenge the grudge from that day.
After returning home, Li Shuyang thought it over and over and finally decided to tell Liu Xiaoyuan about it. His intuition told him that although Ye Chengxin's uncle was a master of the second level of the Innate Realm, he might still face the same situation as last time when facing Liu Xiaoyuan.
"Thank you for the reminder, Brother Li." Liu Xiaoyuan was genuinely grateful to Li Shuyang for telling him this news.
As for Ye Chengxin's uncle becoming a master of the second level of the Innate Realm, Liu Xiaoyuan was not worried at all. Masters of the second level of the Innate Realm are not without their own battles.
"Brother Liu, then take care of yourself. I'll hang up now if there's nothing else," Li Shuyang said with a smile.
Just as Liu Xiaoyuan hung up the phone, Wang Songren called back, also telling Ye Chengxin's uncle about the same thing.
Wang Songren and Li Shuyang shared similar thoughts. They both felt that telling Liu Xiaoyuan about this wouldn't be a bad thing; in case their intuition was correct, they might even forge a good relationship with Liu Xiaoyuan.
Even if Liu Xiaoyuan is no match for Ye Chengxin's uncle, it won't be a loss for either of them. Li Shuyang and Wang Songren clearly understood this win-win situation.
Liu Xiaoyuan was naturally aware of their plans, but since they had told him about it, he thought they were quite good people.
Tang Zhongxin had no intention of telling Liu Xiaoyuan about this. He was more than happy that Liu Xiaoyuan didn't know about it and would be severely punished by Ye Chengxin's uncle, preferably crippled, so that he could then stomp on him a few times to avenge the humiliation he suffered in front of Liu Xiaoyuan.
Li Shuyang and Wang Songren both called one after the other, but Tang Zhongxin didn't call. Liu Xiaoyuan knew that Tang Zhongxin was probably working with the Ye family to deal with him.
"Hmph! Tang Zhongxin, you two-faced bastard, you think you can do anything to me, Liu Xiaoyuan, just because the Ye family has produced a master at the second level of the Innate Realm? You're so naive!" Liu Xiaoyuan sneered to himself.
Liu Xiaoyuan wanted to see what the Ye and Tang families were up to this time, and how they planned to deal with him.
The next day, Liu Xiaoyuan made a special trip to the Tang family. Although Tang Zhongxin was still polite to Liu Xiaoyuan on the surface, calling him "Brother Liu" repeatedly, Liu Xiaoyuan found that Tang Zhongxin's friendliness was too superficial. Anyone who wasn't blind could see that Tang Zhongxin was being hypocritical.
Seeing this, Liu Xiaoyuan was completely certain that Tang Zhongxin was planning to join forces with the Ye family to deal with him.
After leaving the Tang family, Liu Xiaoyuan went to the Ye family again. The Ye family's attitude had completely changed. They believed that since they had gained a master at the second level of the Innate Realm, they didn't need to pay any attention to Liu Xiaoyuan.
"Brother Liu, what brings you to our Ye family?" Ye Chengxin asked indifferently.
Seeing Ye Chengxin's expression, Liu Xiaoyuan laughed and said, "Can't I come to visit your Ye family? You should know that your Ye family has to obey my orders."
As soon as Ye Chengxin spoke, the last incident came to mind. That incident made their Ye family a laughing stock among the other three major families, a great disgrace to the Ye family.
If it were a couple of days ago, Ye Chengxin would have smiled and complimented Liu Xiaoyuan no matter what he said. But things are different now. His uncle, who is at the second level of the Innate Realm, is about to return. At that time, Liu Xiaoyuan will be nothing in his eyes.
"Liu Xiaoyuan, don't push your luck!" Ye Chengxin's face immediately darkened. Ever since his uncle Ye Jiang called him, Ye Chengxin had been itching to rush to Liu Xiaoyuan's side, slap him a few times, and vent his anger.
Liu Xiaoyuan chuckled, looked at Ye Chengxin, and said, "Ye Chengxin, you've gotten bolder now, haven't you?"
"Liu Xiaoyuan, your smugness won't last long. When my great-grandfather returns, it will be your death day!" Ye Zifan suddenly appeared out of nowhere and roared at Liu Xiaoyuan.
Ye Zifan used to be the pride of the four major families in the capital, enjoying the envious gazes of everyone, and receiving applause and cheers wherever he went.
However, ever since he met Liu Xiaoyuan, this once-proud genius has become worthless. He was trampled underfoot by Liu Xiaoyuan, making this genius lose all face.
Ye Zifan's hatred for Liu Xiaoyuan is something that even the Yellow River's waters couldn't wash away.
"Isn't this the Ye family's genius? What, you're out of the hospital?" Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile.
"Don't hit someone in the face, don't insult someone by revealing their shortcomings." Hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's words, Ye Zifan became even angrier. He remembered what happened last time, which was a lifelong pain for him.
"Liu Xiaoyuan, in just a few days, I, Ye Zifan, will trample you under my feet and make you kneel on the ground begging for mercy," Ye Zifan said with a ferocious expression.
Liu Xiaoyuan still had a smile on his face. When he saw Ye Zifan's smile, Liu Xiaoyuan shook his head and said, "Are you out of your minds or did you get your heads caught in a door? Even if your Ye family has powerful helpers, you should wait until those helpers arrive before you act arrogantly. Now you're acting arrogantly in front of me. Believe me or not, I'll make you two kneel down and sing 'Conquer' right now."
After Liu Xiaoyuan said that, Ye Chengxin and Ye Zifan immediately realized that Ye Jiang, who was at the second level of the Innate Realm of the Ye family, had not returned yet. If they were to reveal their hand like this, wouldn't that be courting death?
Thinking this, Ye Chengxin and Ye Zifan's faces turned extremely ugly, as if they had eaten a pile of excrement.
"You two, have you thought this through?" Liu Xiaoyuan could tell from the expressions on their faces that they were scared.
"What do you want?" Ye Zifan asked, mustering his courage, a hint of fear already in his eyes.
Liu Xiaoyuan looked at Ye Zifan with a smile and said, "Are you deaf? Didn't I just say that you two should kneel down and sing 'Conquer'? Do I have to say it again?"
Kneeling down to sing "Conquer"? That's incredibly shameful.
But if they didn't kneel, Liu Xiaoyuan would beat them until they obediently knelt down. Rather than that, they might as well kneel down now and avoid physical pain.
Ye Chengxin was the first to kneel down. Ye Zifan was still struggling with whether or not to kneel down, but when he saw Ye Chengxin kneel down, he thought, "I'll kneel down too."
"Gentlemen, please begin your performance," Liu Xiaoyuan said, crossing his arms over his chest.
"Finally, you found a way to determine the victor and the vanquished. The price of victory or defeat is mutual destruction... Just like that, I was conquered by you, forced to drink the poison you hid. My story has come to an end..."
Ye Chengxin and Ye Zifan, uncle and nephew, began their performance!
