102: Madam! Stop talking!

As soon as these words were uttered, the entire hall was shocked.

Xie Xiaozhao, who had just been full of gratitude, now had her small mouth slightly agape, and her beautiful eyes were filled with disbelief.

Even the City Lord's Old Madam, who had lived for nearly a hundred years and was accustomed to storms, had a deep look of astonishment flash in her turbid old eyes.

Good heavens!

This young man's tone was simply too arrogant!

Heavenly Human Realm!

That was an existence as rare as a Phoenix feather or Dragon horn in the entire Lingwu City, a stabilizing force capable of suppressing a Family's Luck for hundreds of years!

Yet, in this young man's mouth, it became a mere "trivial" matter?

Was it youthful arrogance, not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth?

Or was it...

The old lady's heart suddenly pounded, and a thought that even she found somewhat absurd uncontrollably surfaced.

While she was still in doubt and uncertainty.

Lin Fan and the others, who had been silent and seemed impatient, moved.

Boom—!

A terrifying Aura, indescribable in words and superior to all living beings, suddenly swept out from within their four bodies!

That was not Internal Energy, not True Qi, and certainly not what Martial Artists called Aura!

It was the Spiritual Pressure unique to cultivators!

In front of this Aura, Elder Xie Yun's proud Grandmaster Qi instantly dissolved completely!

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

All the diners who had not yet managed to escape suddenly went limp, their knees uncontrollably dropping to the ground!

The City Lord's Old Madam's face also changed dramatically, and with a "crack," her Dragon-headed walking stick was actually crushed by her, forming a crack!

She looked at these four young people in front of her with horror, her eyes filled only with endless shock.

Although she couldn't feel the slightest fluctuation of Internal Energy, her intuition, honed over nearly a hundred years of life, told her that these people were not joking!

"Senior... Senior!"

Elder Xie Yun was already scared Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, lying on the ground, trembling like a sieve, not daring to even lift his head.

He now finally understood what the other party's phrase "didn't put in their eyes" meant.

This damn it, it was more than just not putting in their eyes!

This was probably a Prodigy of the Heavenly Human Realm or even the Void Realm!

He had misjudged them!

"Lead the way."

Lin Fan's voice carried an undeniable authority.

"To your Xie Family."

"Yes! Yes! Senior! Junior... Junior will lead the way right now!"

Elder Xie Yun dared not utter a single word of nonsense, stood up from the ground, bowed his body, his posture more humble than the lowliest servant.

And so, an extremely bizarre scene appeared within Fuman Restaurant.

Three young men and a four-year-old child walked leisurely at the very front.

Behind them followed a trembling, cautious Xie Xiaozhao.

Further back was the Xie Family's Grandmaster Elder, Xie Yun.

Only at this moment, this Grandmaster Elder was sweating profusely, bending at the waist like the lowest servant, cautiously leading the way.

The scene was as strange as could be.

...

In front of the Xie Family residence.

The Xie Family Matriarch, who had already received the news, was now waiting here aggressively with a group of maids and servants.

The moment she saw Xie Xiaozhao, who was "surrounded" by several guards and walking in with her head down, the anger in her heart instantly ignited!

"You shameless hussy! Do you still have the face to come back?!"

The Xie Family Matriarch let out a sharp roar, lunged forward in one stride, raised her hand adorned with valuable jade bracelets, and was about to slap Xie Xiaozhao's pretty face fiercely!

In her opinion, her daughter had simply brought utter disgrace to the Xie Family!

Today, she absolutely had to teach this rebellious daughter a good lesson!

Just as the slap, imbued with the force of an Acquired Martial Artist, was about to land.

Xie Xiaozhao subconsciously closed her eyes.

However, the expected sharp pain did not come.

"Crack!"

A soft sound.

A long, strong hand, seemingly containing endless power, steadily caught the Xie Family Matriarch's determined wrist.

It was Xiao Huohuo.

With just a casual lift of his hand, he easily defused the angry strike.

"Hmm?!"

The Xie Family Matriarch was stunned; she only felt as if her wrist was clamped tightly by a red-hot iron tong, and no matter how she struggled or activated her Internal Energy, she couldn't break free in the slightest!

A heart-piercing pain emanated from her wrist!

"How dare you! What are you? How dare you lay a hand on this Matriarch?!" The Xie Family Matriarch was both shocked and enraged; she suddenly turned her head, and a venomous cold light burst from her well-maintained eyes!

"Xie Yun! Are you, this old thing, dead?!"

"Hurry up and kill this ignorant dog for this Matriarch!"

She roared hoarsely, as if wanting to vent all her anger and humiliation.

However, what responded to her was not Elder Xie Yun's thunderous strike.

But a... deathly silence.

She turned her head, somewhat confused.

Only to see not far away, the Grandmaster Elder, Xie Yun, who usually showed some arrogance in front of her, was now standing there like a wooden post, his face ashen, unable to move even a single finger!

His eyes, which always carried a hint of shrewdness, now only held endless fear and... pleading!

He desperately, frantically, made eye contact with his Matriarch!

His gaze seemed to say:

My dear Matriarch! My dearest Matriarch! Please don't say another word!

One more word, and our Xie Family... will truly be finished!

These Seniors, we... cannot afford to provoke them!
