Feng Jiu's move sent the twelve mute slaves flying, which truly shocked Ning Xi.
She knew perfectly well how powerful these twelve mute slaves were. Back then, she had spared no expense to train them, but she never expected...
However, her eyes turned cold immediately afterward.
"Your skill is so formidable that I have not expected it. However, do you think this can intimidate the Ning family? I can only say that you are too naive!"
Ning Xi shook her head, her face full of arrogance, and said, "My Longxuan Pavilion is not just an antique shop. My Ning family belongs to the Mingmu Sect, a major Jianghu faction! My sect has a huge influence and many allied families. With just one word from me, you will have endless trouble wherever you go in the future!"
"The blatant faction?"
Everyone was slightly taken aback.
This name is somewhat unfamiliar to ordinary people.
However, some of the older bigwigs immediately showed expressions of shock.
They had indeed heard of this "open-minded faction," a high-ranking group among the various social classes, who wielded considerable power and had numerous followers in the last century. They even played a significant role in the War of Resistance against Japan!
It's a very ancient martial arts sect. Although it has kept a low profile for decades, its leaders know that such sects have incredibly strong foundations, just like the Beggars' Sect. They may seem insignificant, but they are absolutely not to be offended! Otherwise, there will be endless trouble and retaliation!
Lin Yu was also slightly taken aback, then a mocking expression appeared on his lips.
"So your Dragon Pavilion is also part of the Bright Eyes faction, that surprises me! What? You didn't attend the previous Bright Eyes Conference?" Lin Yu asked, frowning. If the other party had attended the Bright Eyes Conference, they should have seen him before.
Upon hearing this, Ning Xi's pupils dilated, and she exclaimed in astonishment, "You actually know about the Mingmu Conference?"
Lin Yu said calmly, "Not only do I know about the Mingmu Assembly, but I also know that the Liu family has already selected a new generation of leader at the Mingmu Assembly! As far as I know, all the disciples of the Mingmu Sect must obey the leader's orders. Am I right?"
Ning Xi's face was grim. She didn't understand why Lin Yu knew so much, but she still nodded and said, "You're right. All the members of the Mingmu Sect are under the command of the Liu family's leader. But what does this have to do with you? Are you perhaps someone in the Liu family?"
Lin Yu's lips curled slightly as he reached into his robes, rummaged around for a while, and finally pulled out a piece of Hetian jade.
"A palm print??"
Ningxi couldn't help but widen her beautiful eyes. With her keen eyesight, she naturally recognized the palm print of the Mingmu Sect.
She was certain that what the other person had was genuine!
"No, this is impossible. How could the palm print be with you?"
Ningxi was genuinely confused. "At the Mingmu Conference that Father attended before, he said that the Liu family's leadership had been handed over to Old Master Liu's godson. Could it be...?"
Thinking of this, her pupils dilated.
Lin Yu said with certainty, "You're right, I've confirmed that Grandpa Liu Zhongyi is my godfather!"
Hearing this, Ning Xi felt completely relieved and walked towards Lin Yu without hesitation. She clasped her hands together and bowed respectfully.
"Ningxi greets the Sect Master!"
Wow!
At that moment, the scene immediately erupted in chaos!
What's going on?
Miss Ning actually bowed to this troublemaking brat?
Jiang Xinxin's beautiful eyes trembled slightly, her face showing a look of incomprehension.
"Miss Ning, you..."
Ning Xi ignored her and instead said to Lin Yu, "Sect Master, how do you intend to resolve today's matter? My Ning family will follow your orders!"
Although she didn't want to offend Jiang Xinxin, she couldn't afford to offend the person in front of her even more!
The leader of the Mingmu Sect wields immense power; with just a word from him, the Ning family could be expelled from the Mingmu Sect.
In the antique trade, without the protection of a powerful sect, the channels will be suppressed or even boycotted by other families, and the business will collapse in no time.
For decades, the Ning family has only dealt in antiques; it's their lifeblood. So she dares not disobey Lin Yu in the slightest, and even if her father comes, she must obey him unconditionally!
Lin Yu nodded, satisfied with Ning Xi's attitude, and said, "I've already said that I'm just here to take back what belongs to my brother. However, I happen to have met an enemy here today, and I need to use your place to settle some matters!"
“Uh, this…” Ningxi’s pupils trembled.
She could clearly sense the murderous intent in the man's eyes; this could very well lead to someone's death!
Ning Xi quickly said, "Sect Master, you probably don't know, Miss Jiang now has the support of four major families, and Young Master Hu is also a young master of one of those four families. Behind them..."
"You don't need to worry about these things! I don't need your help either, just pretend it never happened!" Lin Yu said calmly.
Ning Xi was taken aback, then nodded. "Understood, Sect Master. I'll leave with my men right away!"
Ningxi straightened up and made a gesture towards the twelve mute slaves.
Subsequently, the twelve mute slaves quickly left the scene.
Ningxi also walked outside.
Jiang Xinxin panicked and grabbed her arm. "Ms. Ning, what do you mean by this? I'm your client, you can't just ignore me!"
Ning Xi's eyes were cold as she placed her hand on Jiang's arm and pulled her down sharply. "I'm sorry, Ms. Jiang, I can't handle this matter anymore. As for the payment you made earlier, I will have the finance department return it. Our cooperation ends here!"
"you!"
Before she could say anything, Ning Xi left the venue without looking back, and all the other staff members of Longxuan Pavilion also left.
