Long Yi walked into the mourning hall. His casual attire was completely out of place, and his face, not only devoid of sadness but also a faint smile, coupled with the unfamiliarity of his face, immediately infuriated everyone in the Xiao family. If it weren't for their upbringing, a fight would have broken out long ago.
Xiao Wanli, the new head of the Xiao family, stepped forward, looked at Long Yi and asked, "Excuse me, young man, who are you? What brings you to our Xiao family? We are currently holding a funeral..."
The family's men beside him quickly explained: "Boss, we are here to mourn the old man."
But Long Yi looked calm, looking at the Xiao family and said, "You're wrong! I don't have time to mourn Mr. Xiao. I'm here to collect a debt from him!"
"Debt collection?" Xiao Wanli was surprised, his brows furrowed instantly. He said in a deep voice, "My dear brother, my father never entrusted me with any debts when he was alive. What kind of debt are you here to collect? Do you think my Xiao family is easy to bully?"
Long Yi's eyes flashed, and he said loudly: "I'm here to collect the debt owed to the Long family of Dongjun from twenty years ago!"
"What?"
Xiao Wanli was startled at first, then said disdainfully: "When has my Xiao family ever owed your Long family any debt? You are here to pick a fight, right?"
"If you say it is, then it is, but I want to take this thing away!"
As he spoke, Long Yi took out the picture of the jade pendant and handed it to Xiao Wanli.
Xiao Wanli took a look, swept it to the ground, and said angrily: "Boy, you are too arrogant. My Xiao family does not have these things you mentioned. Besides, even if there are, you can't take them just by saying so."
"Someone, come here and beat this unreasonable guy out!"
Suddenly, several thugs from the Xiao family surrounded Long Yi.
Seeing this, the people who came to mourn Mr. Xiao hurriedly dispersed, and the reporters outside the door also hurriedly took pictures, fearing that they would miss this explosive news.
The Xiao family is a super family in eastern Guangdong. The disturbance at Mr. Xiao's funeral hall will definitely be a front-page headline.
At this moment, a woman's voice suddenly sounded.
"Wanli, don't be rude!"
A woman in black mourning clothes, supported by her servants, slowly came to Long Yi.
"Mom, why are you stopping me?" Xiao Wanli asked puzzled.
The woman politely saluted Long Yi and asked, "You said you came to collect a debt from the Long family, so who are you from the Long family?"
Long Yi didn't say anything, but took out the dragon pendant from his chest. When the woman saw it, her expression became complicated.
Long Yi thought that the Xiao family was indeed closely related to what happened back then, so he asked, "Since Madam Xiao already knows my identity, why don't you tell me the truth?"
However, Madam Xiao hesitated for a moment and said with some difficulty: "Little brother, my master has always been very secretive about the affairs of the Long family. Apart from him, we don't know much about what happened back then."
Long Yi looked calm, then glanced at Master Xiao in the cold coffin, chuckled and said, "It's okay, I'm not here to look for you this time, I'm here to look for him."
Madam Xiao's face was also a little ugly at this moment. She said in a deep voice: "Little brother, you are kidding me. My master has passed away. How can you find him?"
Long Yi chuckled and said, "Dead? Isn't he still dead? Now that I'm here, he can't die before your Xiao family pays off the debt."
So he walked forward quickly and placed two fingers on Mr. Xiao's neck.
Long Yi's actions on Mr. Xiao's body immediately caused a lot of discussion among those who came to mourn.
Xiao Wanli, who had been trying hard to suppress his anger, became even more furious when he saw this. He immediately rushed forward and grabbed Long Yi's shoulders, trying to subdue him from behind.
But Long Yi just twisted his body slightly and broke free easily. A strange force came out from his shoulders, and instead threw Xiao Wanli to the ground.
Seeing this, the Xiao family's bodyguards and thugs immediately surrounded them.
Long Yi frowned and glared, saying coldly: "Let's see who dares to move!"
As he spoke, he lifted Mr. Xiao's body from the cold coffin and made him sit in the cold coffin.
Seeing this, the Xiao family thought that Long Yi wanted to use their master's body as a shield, and they dared not act rashly.
"My dear brother, since my master has passed away, please be kind and don't do anything rash!" Mrs. Xiao advised.
Long Yi sneered and looked at Old Man Xiao and said, "You dare to die without my consent? If you die, who will I ask to pay the debt of my Long family?"
As he spoke, Long Yi took out a roll of acupuncture kit from his arms, pulled out a few silver needles from it, and quickly inserted them into the four acupuncture points of Tianchi, Tianyu, Tianji, and Tianting.
Then he put Mr. Xiao's arms behind his back, leaned his body forward, used his fingers as a ruler to measure the position of his back, and then covered the area with his palms. Threads of spiritual energy passed through his palms and entered Mr. Xiao's body, quickly repairing the meridians throughout his body.
People only saw a ray of light rising from Long Yi's palms, and they didn't know why. Xiao Wanli even got up from the ground and pounced on Long Yi again.
At this time, Long Yi was concentrating on reconstructing the meridians for Mr. Xiao and had no time to take care of other things.
He shouted angrily, "If you still want your father to live, you'd better not touch me!"
Xiao Wanli heard this, and although he didn't know whether it was true or not, he didn't dare to get close to Long Yi. He just shouted, "Bullshit! If you can really bring the dead back to life, wouldn't you be a god?"
"Your father has been poisoned and is in a state of suspended animation. He's still breathing, and if he tries his best, there's still a glimmer of hope. If I didn't have something to ask him, if you don't believe me, you can come and stop me. I will make the Long family's debt a burden on you!"
There was an unquestionable dominance in Long Yi's words. Everyone in the Xiao family was intimidated by his aura and dared not act rashly.
