Chapter 1107 Enemies Meet
"Boom!"

As soon as Si Wudao finished speaking, the disciples of Longxiang Mountain around him drew their swords.

"Protect the young master!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Murong Bai hurriedly called out, and Deng Quan, Xu Heng, Liao Chuan, and Liao Hai quickly drew their weapons and protected Liu Xunyi in the middle.

In an instant, the already not-so-harmonious atmosphere plummeted to a freezing point. The sudden confrontation not only made the disciples on both sides nervous, as if they were facing a formidable enemy, but also made Li Haitang, who was caught in a dilemma, horrified and even more entangled.

Liu Xunyi gently pushed aside Xu Heng who was blocking him, and looked back and forth at the Longxiang Mountain disciples holding knives and swords with contempt, and teased: "Is it possible that drawing knives and swords is the dignity you want?"

"This……"

In fact, Si Wudao, Tang Xuan, Shao Yuanqing and Wuming all knew Yun Zhuiyue's plan very well. They also knew that Longxiang Mountain must not turn against Liu Xunyi now, but instead must do everything possible to get close to him.

However, the methods of getting close to someone vary greatly, and the effects are also very different. After repeated consultations, they all agreed that based on Liu Xunyi's unpleasant "relationship" with Longxiangshan, blindly showing weakness, flattering, and fawning would not only fail to win his trust, but would also arouse his suspicion.

The more critical the moment, the less eager for quick success. Right now, Long Xiangshan can only "retreat to advance" and continue to maintain a proud attitude and tough momentum to avoid Liu Xunyi's suspicion and even win his respect.

Among them, the scale of advance and retreat must be properly grasped to avoid going too far and playing with fire and getting burned.

"Cough cough!"

Thinking of this, Si Wudao, who was secretly worried, coughed twice and explained the truth to Liu Xunyi before the situation got worse: "In fact, we have no intention of being your enemy, but Longxiang Mountain has never been despised like this since its establishment, and Longxiang Mountain disciples will not flatter the powerful and trample on the weak like those villains who curry favor with the powerful. If... you sincerely ask to see the Holy Lord, I am willing to report to you. But if you come with a strong momentum and are arrogant and rude...Longxiang Mountain disciples can only respond to rudeness with rudeness, and strength with strength."

"We know that Luoyang City is the territory of the Xianwang Mansion, and you, Liu Xunyi, are no longer the same as before. If you raise your arm and call for help, people from all walks of life will surely flock to us. I admit that we won't gain any advantage in a head-on confrontation." Tang Xuan took the opportunity to speak, his words were soft but firm, "But no one in Longxiang Mountain is a coward, a coward who is greedy for life and afraid of death. We would rather die standing than live on our knees..."

"Kneel?" Liu Xunyi frowned, "Why do you say that, Your Excellency?"

"I heard that Lu Tingxiang, Zuo Hongxuan, and Miao An were willing to sacrifice their reputation just to see you. How is this different from kneeling?" Shao Yuanqing said sarcastically, "But even so, you still didn't show them any mercy. They left in dismay without seeing you as they wished. This matter will surely spread like wildfire and become a laughing stock for the world."

Shao Yuanqing's words were not only a joke, but also a hint. It was definitely a wise move for them to approach Liu Xunyi in a "retreat to advance" way, otherwise Lu Tingxiang and the other two would be a lesson for them.

Just as both sides were deadlocked in order to save their own faces, Xu Ren, one of the "Ten Impermanences" of Longxiang Mountain, slowly approached. He first took a deep look at Liu Xunyi, who looked indifferent, and then moved closer to Si Wudao and whispered, "The Holy Lord, let Liu Xunyi in."

I wonder if Xu Ren did it on purpose? Although he lowered his voice deliberately, Liu Xunyi and the others could still hear it clearly.

Hearing this, Si Wudao, Tang Xuan, Shao Yuanqing and Wuming were stunned at first, then looked at each other, and a hint of hesitation appeared between their brows at the same time.

"The Holy Lord means... to let him in 'now'." Seeing the four people hesitating, Xu Ren added.

"understood."

Si Wudao reluctantly agreed and waved his hand to signal the Longxiang Mountain disciples to make way for him. At the same time, he gave Liu Xunyi a mysterious smile and said, "Liu Xunyi, please!"

Before Liu Xunyi could raise his foot, Xu Ren's voice sounded again: "Young Master Liu, the Holy Lord only wants to see you."

"what?"

"You guys wait for me here."

"Little Lord……"

Liu Xunyi gave the order without thinking, and walked straight towards Yun Zhuiyue's room regardless of the concerns of Murong Bai and others.

"Little Lord……"

"Hey! No one is allowed to enter the Holy Lord's room without being summoned. You should wait patiently in the courtyard!"

When the worried Murong Bai and his companions were about to take a step forward to chase after them, the disciples of Longxiang Mountain who had just retreated rushed forward again like a tide and blocked their way.

"If the young master comes out with even a hair missing, no one from Longxiang Mountain will be able to leave Danfeng Garden safely."

"This is your territory. We are not afraid of living here as strangers. You have the best time, location and people... so what are you afraid of?" "You..."

Ignoring the threats and ridicules from both sides, Liu Xunyi, who was weighed down by a heavy heart, pushed open the tightly closed door and stepped into Yun Zhuiyue's room without hesitation.

"boom!"

The door closed with a thud, and the noise in the courtyard disappeared instantly as the light dimmed. The room was filled with curling smoke and wafts of sandalwood, giving people a sense of tranquility and serenity.

"Young people are young people, and they can never change their impetuous bad habits. If you act so impulsively, won't your mother worry?" Yun Zhuiyue, dressed in a black robe, sat upright at the table, staring at Liu Xunyi who was walking slowly with a pair of turbid eyes, and rebuked him in a hoarse voice, "I let you in not because you are the young master of the Xianwang Mansion, but because you are the grandson of the Teng clan leader and the son of the Xiaogu master. If it were someone else, he would have become a corpse by now. Liu Xunyi, I can not bother with you for the sake of the Xiaogu master and the Teng clan leader, but others may not be as kind as I am. Therefore, I hope you can be self-aware and not rely on the favor of the Xiaogu master and the Teng clan leader to be arrogant and domineering. You know, they can protect you for a while, but they can't protect you for a lifetime."

"How do I behave? How do I do things? It's my own business. You don't need to worry about it." Liu Xunyi said calmly, "If I die because of my own fault, it's because I was careless and not as smart as others. It has nothing to do with anyone else."

"Do you think I really care about your life or death? I care about your mother and your grandfather. I don't want them to be worried because of your ignorance, and I don't want them to be sad and blame themselves because of your own fault."

"They are my relatives. I care about their feelings more than you do..."

"Liu Xunyi!"

As if Liu Xunyi's arrogance had touched her reverse scale, Yun Zhuiyue's eyes suddenly flashed with a chilling light, and she angrily said, "You care about their feelings more than I do? Humph! I have been with them for decades, and you have only known them for a few days? What qualifications do you have to put on airs in front of me? Your current behavior is exactly the same as Luo Tianjin's back then. Arrogant and disgusting..."

At this point, Yun Zhuiyue suddenly thought of Luo Tianjin's death. There was no point in talking about the past grudges, so her eyes relaxed and she waved her hand, saying, "Forget it! Forget it! For the sake of your mother and your grandfather, I won't argue with you, so that they won't blame me for bullying the weak. You... sit down and talk!"

“No need!” Liu Xunyi was unmoved by Yun Zhuiyue’s kindness, and his tone remained indifferent, “You and I have nothing in common. I came here… just to tell you one thing, and then I’ll leave.”

"Liu Xunyi, I don't have that much patience, so please don't be ungrateful." Yun Zhuiyue suppressed her inner dissatisfaction and said in a deep voice, "I don't bother to haggle with the younger generation, but you shouldn't push your luck. You came here to make trouble, does your mother... know about it?"

"This is a personal grudge between you and me. It has nothing to do with anyone else."

"Personal grudge?" Yun Zhuiyue was stunned. "What do you mean?"

"Promise me first that you won't let Ping'er know about what happened today." It was unknown whether Liu Xunyi was really trying to disrupt Yun Zhuiyue's thoughts, as he spoke in a way that made it hard to understand what he was saying. "You have raised her for more than 20 years, so you should have some feelings for her. I hope you can consider that Ping'er has always respected and been filial to you as her biological father, and not let her get involved in the feud between you and me."

"Your attitude and tone disgust me." Yun Zhuiyue glanced coldly at the righteous Liu Xunyi, slowly picked up the teacup on the table, and said provocatively, "It was me who raised Ping'er, played with her, and taught her to read and write... In terms of my feelings for Ping'er, my feelings for her are far more genuine and deeper than yours. Therefore, you are not qualified to teach me how to treat my daughter, and you are not qualified to question our father-daughter relationship in front of me..."

"call!"

"Snapped……"

Before Yun Zhuiyue finished speaking, Liu Xunyi angrily snapped his fingers and shot out a sharp force that hit the teacup in Yun Zhuiyue's hand squarely, causing it to explode with a loud bang, scattering tea all over Yun Zhuiyue.

"presumptuous!"

Liu Xunyi's sudden attack completely aroused Yun Zhuiyue's anger, but he flipped his right palm, and the flying teacup fragments and leaf foam and water droplets instantly floated in the air, and then, driven by a vast internal force, turned into a torrential rain and rushed straight towards Liu Xunyi.

"Humph!"

"Crack!"

"Whoosh!"

With a cold snort, Liu Xunyi rubbed the floor tiles with his toes, instantly breaking the hard bricks and stones into pieces. He kicked forward, and thousands of broken stones flew into the air, spreading a large net of stone chips in the air, directly facing the howling wind and rain.

The two collided, and a burst of "crackling" sounds broke out. Under the mutual pressure of the two powerful internal forces, thousands of fragments melted into each other, turning into a piece of dust, floating in the air between Liu Xunyi and Yun Zhuiyue, and slowly scattered.

"Yun Zhuiyue, it's better if you don't mention this. If you do, I really want to tear you into pieces!" Liu Xunyi's face was as dark as water, and his eyes were fierce. "If you hadn't kidnapped Yu'er from me back then, how could we be separated? Today, you dare to brazenly talk about "father-daughter love" in front of me? What nonsense are you saying, "Your feelings for her are more real and deeper than mine"? You are so shameless and greedy. Aren't you afraid that I will send you to the west in anger?"

"Even if you have the guts to kill me, how are you going to explain to Ping'er afterwards?" Looking at Liu Xunyi, who was glaring and gritting his teeth, Yun Zhuiyue smiled instead of getting angry. Not only did his words and actions not restrain at all, but he became even more arrogant, threatening, and provocative. "If Ping'er knew that you killed the person closest to her in the world, do you think she would forgive you? And would she... avenge her 'father'?"
