As Xiao Yufan and others stepped out of the study, they happened to encounter the pro-Tan faction led by the Second Elder. However, when their gazes fell upon Xiao Yufan, their faces immediately turned livid…
They had originally come to verify whether Xiao Yufan had indeed emerged from the Cold Water Ravine. Yet the result astonished them greatly—this man had truly walked out of the ravine, unscathed.
“Well well, isn’t this the Second Elder of the Huangpu Clan? Did you eat some pork liver or something? Why’s your face that color?”
Situ Yonghui stepped forward, exaggerating a smile as he stared at the Second Elder’s expression. He wasn’t part of the hidden Huangpu Clan, so naturally, he held no respect for this old relic. Besides, strength commanded respect, and he didn’t believe this old fossil was stronger than himself.
“Hmph, I didn’t come here to exchange words with a foolish brat. I came to confirm something. Since I’ve already obtained the answer I wanted, I shall take my leave!”
The Second Elder cast a cold, icy glare at Situ Yonghui, though he didn’t dare overdo it.
“Just a Second Elder, yet someone who doesn’t know better might mistake you for the head of the hidden Huangpu Clan! Looking at your current air of authority, I suppose if you yourself won’t sit in the Clan Leader’s seat, you must want your son or grandson to take it instead!”
“You impudent child, don’t speak nonsense! Don’t think—”
“Don’t think you can act high and mighty just because of your age. If we’re talking about strength, even if you were much stronger, I could still kill you right here. Do you believe it or not?”
Before the Second Elder could finish speaking, Xiao Yufan saw his father’s figure vanish from his spot. In the next second, Situ Yonghui had already appeared before the Second Elder, his hand lightly resting on the latter’s neck.
Terrifying, domineering…
This was the impression everyone had of Situ Yonghui. Xiao Yufan himself was greatly shocked. The strength his father had just displayed seemed even more formidable than that old bastard from the hidden Guo Clan. And that old man had already been a peak-stage凝聚强者 (Ning Gong peak expert). Could it be that his father was a supreme expert who had surpassed that realm?
Moreover, Xiao Yufan had never seen his father display such overwhelming dominance before. If his grandfather was like a wise and steady silver fox, then his father was a wild and untamed tiger!
“What are you trying to do…”
Under Situ Yonghui’s threat, the Second Elder only felt a chill run down his back. He had known that Situ Lingyu was a world-class expert, but he hadn’t expected Situ Yonghui to have become so formidable unnoticed. This level of strength was already enough to kill him!
“Nothing much. Just want to remind you old relics to behave yourselves. Otherwise, you might really think there’s no one daring to touch you!”
Situ Yonghui’s lips curled slightly, forming a faint smirk. The pressure from his hand increased slightly, not enough to choke, but just enough to heighten the intimidation in his voice.
“Yonghui, let go of the Second Elder. After all, we’re still on the hidden Huangpu Clan’s territory. Doing this makes it hard for the Huangpu brothers to handle the situation!”
Situ Lingyu narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke in a calm tone. He knew his son was only trying to intimidate these old relics. Otherwise, they really might think the Tian Alliance was composed of harmless people.
“Yes, the Second Elder is still a senior. I hope Yonghui can respect my humble request and let him go!”
Coughing dryly, Huangpu Yi smoothly joined the conversation. Since Situ Yonghui had done what he wanted done, he naturally felt quite pleased inside, though he didn’t show it.
But Situ Yonghui was indeed perceptive. He immediately released the Second Elder, though the icy coldness in his eyes still left the latter speechless.
The Second Elder, in turn, was quite displeased with Huangpu Yi. If the latter had intervened earlier, he wouldn’t have been so humiliated. It seemed that the hidden Huangpu Clan’s leader was already quite dissatisfied with some of his past actions. This was merely a warning.
Realizing this, the Second Elder’s expression turned slightly grim. Huangpu Yi, as if understanding his thoughts, allowed a faint smirk to appear on his lips…
