Zhu Chengye nodded, then looked at Wan Qiqi and said, "Young Master Tang, I wonder if the second owner of my restaurant could..."
"Take them with you and get out of here!" Xiao Huai's tone was slightly unfriendly, and he seemed a little impatient.
"yes!"
Zhu Chengye quickly took Wan Qiqi and left from the third floor.
Erpang was waiting at the top of the stairs on the second floor. When he saw the two of them come down, he quickly asked, "Sister Qi, are you alright? The blood from the third floor has seeped down to the second floor. Luckily, no one was in that private room."
"I'm fine, but two of my followers died." Wan Qiqi had lost her previous energy and looked somewhat tired.
She felt that dealing with someone like Xiao Huai was exhausting, the kind of relationship where you could easily lose your life.
However, Xiao Huai probably wouldn't kill outsiders indiscriminately, since there are still national laws in place. Even if he is a member of the Xiao family, he cannot kill an outsider at will.

"It's alright. You used to be the one hosting these people. Didn't you have an even harder time?"
Thinking back to how Zhu Chengye used to be so at ease, Wan Qiqi suddenly realized that she still needed to gain more experience. Otherwise, what would she do if she went to bigger places and encountered more powerful forces in the future?
Although the Xiao family held a prominent position in Yunhe County, and Old Master Xiao was a retired elder from the court, the main force of the Xiao family had ultimately withdrawn from the court, and their power could not compare to that of those still in power. However, they should not be underestimated.
“I’m used to treating different guests differently,” Zhu Chengye said, glancing up at the table. “Xiao San is the most difficult person I’ve ever met.”
Wan Qiqi followed his gaze, her eyes growing even darker, like stars falling into the sea, their light gradually being swallowed up.
