……

Chen Xiaojun's steps were slightly stiff, but his eyes had regained most of their composure. However, deep in his eyes, there was still a trace of vigilance and helplessness towards the "uninvited guest" in his sea of ​​consciousness.

At this moment, he was speechless. Damn it, without enough luck, one might not even be able to bear the blessings of the gods, and might even suffer harm from them.

The danger of the Great Master of Fate, her style—indifferent, domineering, and full of negative attributes—is definitely much more difficult to deal with than the "Lesser Master of Fate."

At least back then, he never noticed Xiaoyi's abnormality or the Shao Siming within her.

Xiao Yi silently followed, the blush on her face fading away, returning to her usual cool demeanor.

The jade pot shines brightly, reflecting a pure heart!
But in those eyes that held the stars, there seemed to be a very subtle fluctuation, one that even she herself did not fully understand.

……

Outside, in the real world, everyone entered the main hall.

Madam Lin turned slightly to the side and made a "please" gesture again: "Ladies and gentlemen, please."

Chen Xiaojun nodded slightly, as if the shocking scene in his mind just now was merely a momentary lapse in concentration.

He took the first step, his steps steady as he ascended the steps leading to the main hall.

Xiao Yi followed closely behind, her icy purple eyes lingering for a moment on Chen Xiaojun's back, her cold face revealing no emotion.

Zhu Yanfeng tapped his pipe, exhaled a long puff of smoke, and followed after him, his cloudy old eyes gleaming with a sharp light.

The rest of the people filed in.

The main hall is elegantly decorated, with a scholarly atmosphere.

Madam Lin personally led them to their seats. She would not sit at the head of the table now, so the two sat facing each other, with Dou Congtong sitting beside her. She then instructed Xiao Dongxiang to serve tea.

Wu Mingde and Fang Yidan stood by, and although the atmosphere had eased, it still carried a sense of solemnity.

All eyes, whether intentionally or unintentionally, were focused on Chen Xiaojun, who had just taken his seat, and Madam Lin, who was now calmly dealing with the situation as the hostess.

Chen Xiaojun picked up the cup of tea offered by the maid, feeling the temperature of the cup with his fingertips.

……

Ye Sirong's expression was calm, and her lake-blue eyes were now as deep as a pool.

Her gaze fell on Chen Xiaojun, and a gentle question rang out: "Young Master, do you have any explanation for coming here for Dou Jing?"

Chen Xiaojun put down his teacup, met her gaze, and said in an equally calm tone, "Madam Lin, things have changed. May I ask what your capacity is for this discussion now?"

Ye Sirong smiled faintly and said frankly, "I am both Madam Lin and Ye Sirong, but since you are calling me 'Madam Lin,' I will handle the official business for the young master first."

“Mrs. Lin is straightforward.” Chen Xiaojun nodded slightly. “Then I’ll be blunt—the Bone-Digging Gang is gone.”

"what?!"

"impossible!"

Wu Mingde and Fang Yidan, who were standing by, turned pale instantly. They were both members of the old bone-digging gang, having grown up there and sharing deep feelings for each other. Some even had relatives in the gang.

Dou Congtong suddenly jumped up from her chair, her long, icy-green hair trembling slightly from the rush of blood to her head: "The Bone-Digging Gang? What's that? Is it related to my father?!"

She was incredibly intelligent and instantly connected the two, a huge panic gripping her.

The hall was deathly silent, except for Ye Sirong, who sat upright as before, her faint smile even deepening: "No wonder... those people who were monitoring my mother and me suddenly left without a sound. So that's why."

A barely perceptible hint of admiration flashed in Chen Xiaojun's eyes: "It seems that Madam Lin had a premonition all along."

"There are some clues to be found." Ye Sirong picked up her teacup and gently blew away the foam. "But I wonder, who did it? The Chen family? Fighting Soul City?"

She paused, then looked directly at Chen Xiaojun. "Since you, young master, have come to inform us personally, instead of arresting him directly, I presume my father... is not in any danger?"

"Madam is wise." Chen Xiaojun nodded in agreement. "Indeed, the annihilation of the Bone-Digging Gang was the result of a joint effort by our three families and the Ma family. Commander Barton escaped, and Deputy Commander Dou was captured alive. As for the core members of the gang, out of the sixteen Soul Saint level members, nine died, six were captured, and one escaped."

There was another suffocating silence.

Nine dead and six captured! The high command was almost entirely wiped out!
a long time.

Ye Sirong raised her eyebrows, her eyes showing no grief or pleading, only deep contemplation, and calmly asked, "So it was four families who acted together... Then, the other three families in Huagai District must have also been affected, right?"

Chen Xiaojun sighed inwardly, "As expected." This Madam Lin's thinking was extremely sharp, jumping from the destruction of the Bone Digging Gang to an insight into the entire underground power structure of the Huagai District.

This sense of the big picture is rare.

“Of course,” he affirmed. “The Iron Brotherhood, the Sisterhood of Shadows, and the Elite Merchant Guild also participated in that great battle and were ultimately defeated. Now, they have pledged allegiance to our four-way alliance.”

"Loyalty and devotion..." Ye Sirong repeated these four words, but her back straightened even more.

This means that the four-family alliance led by the Chen family has completely taken control of the Huagai District, and the Digging Bone Gang has no chance of making a comeback.

"Young Master..." Ye Sirong said calmly, "Could you please tell us what happened?"

“Okay.” Chen Xiaojun did not refuse.

He spent a few minutes briefly describing the course of the raid, deliberately omitting his own role and emphasizing Chen Zhang's strategic planning, the thunderous combined attack of the four elite forces, and the Douhun City faction's seizure of control over the Huading and Huaguang districts.

"So it was... Second Master personally orchestrating and directing..." Madam Lin murmured, her gaze drifting into the distance, as if recalling Chen Zhang's former glory.

The title still remains in the memories of Chenlin Village from years past, rather than the commonly used title of Fifth Master.

Chen Xiaojun simply smiled and did not reply.

He picked up the teacup and took a small sip.

The crisp sound of porcelain clattering was particularly jarring in the stagnant and oppressive atmosphere, as if startling everyone from their own thoughts.

"Bang!" A crisp sound.

Unable to contain herself any longer, Dou Congtong slammed her hand on the coffee table and stood up abruptly, her icy green eyes turning red with anger.
"You! You arrested my father! And now you're coming to our door to show off your power! What do you want?!"

"Tong'er! Shut up!" Madam Lin shouted sternly, and an invisible pressure instantly enveloped Dou Congtong, causing her to choke on her words. Her body froze on the spot, and her pretty face turned red.

Ye Sirong took a deep breath, turned to Chen Xiaojun, and said apologetically, "I'm just a child, I've never seen the world before. I was caught off guard by what I heard and lost my composure. I spoke without thinking and offended you, young master. Please forgive me."

Chen Xiaojun forced a calm smile and waved his hand: "It's alright, concern makes you confused."

Ye Sirong's calm tone carried a subtle sharpness: "However, young master, since you have come in person, you must not be here merely to inform me of a result. Now, what do you have to teach me about the Dou family?"

She bowed slightly, adopting a very humble posture.

Chen Xiaojun put down his teacup, his expression earnest and sincere: "Madam Lin has misunderstood. I really have no other intentions in coming here."
