"Little girl, how on earth did you get to know that guy?"
Yao Zhe asked Yan Xi with a curious smile.
"Just t by chance!"
Yan Xi pursed her lips and said.
"What? You're keeping it a secret from your master, and you want to hide it from Uncle Yao too?"
Yao Zhe pretended to be angry, knowing that Yan Xi's master was actually Vice Hall Master Wei Hua.
"If I tell you, you're not allowed to tell that old Wei guy."
Yan Xi whispered, although Wei Hua was a vibrant middle-aged man, she always called him old Wei.
Because Wei Hua was very strict with her, disallowing this and that, like an old pedant!
Of course, this nickna was only used privately. During formal proceedings, like earlier, she obviously referred to him as the Vice Hall Master.
The sa went for Yao Zhe; privately, she didn't call him Protector Yao, but Uncle Yao.
In fact, Wei Hua knew that although she appeared to be a mature woman, she was actually quite naive and straightforward in her thinking. He was strict with her because he feared that she would be deceived or inadvertently cause trouble.
"Don't worry, we know each other well, Uncle Yao promises not to tell!"
Yao Zhe said earnestly.
"Alright then."
Yan Xi trusted Yao Zhe quite a bit and then whispered in his ear:
"Actually, we t at a bar!"
"Ah, you actually went to that kind of place?!"
Upon hearing Yan Xi's words, Yao Zhe instantly widened his eyes in disbelief.
"Shh!"
Yan Xi was startled and quickly shushed him.
"Oh, oh!"
Yao Zhe imdiately caught on and quickly smiled apologetically, then pulled Yan Xi into a corner:
"Quick, tell what exactly happened?"
"Why are you asking about this?"
Yan Xi said with a hint of embarrassnt.
"Just curious. I want to see what kind of boy he is. Tell about your interaction with him!"
Yao Zhe casually inquired, truly concerned about Yan Xi. After all, a bar was a place where all sorts mingled, and he did not know Su Chen.
Yan Xi didn't suspect anything and generally described what happened that night, which was partly due to the good relationship she shared with Yao Zhe.
After listening to Yan Xi excitedly and sowhat shyly tell her story, Yao Zhe just smiled noncommittally.
It seed that the young man was indeed a decent person!
"Uncle Yao, please don't hurt him when you take him away. Consider it a request from , okay?"
Yan Xi said with so concern.
"Don't worry, your Uncle Yao knows what he's doing!"
Yao Zhe said with a slight smile...
Yu Weidong, looking at Yao Zhe and Yan Xi in the corner, let a trace of coldness cross his face!
Yao Zhe certainly felt it, but didn't take it to heart; in fact, he often disagreed with Yu Weidong's thods and tactics.
The others were also discussing in small groups, with most of them guessing about what had just happened...
About half an hour later, Wei Hua erged from the passage they had used earlier, and everyone stopped their discussions and looked at him as he walked in.
Wei Hua sat down on the stage, then swept his gaze over the crowd, and said in a deep voice:
"I am now announcing a decision!"
Everyone was taken aback by Wei Hua's solemn tone and attitude, and then their expressions turned grave.
Usually, Wei Hua appeared amiable and approachable, addressing problems by discussing solutions with everyone, rarely ever looking like this.
"Starting today, we will no longer concern ourselves with matters between Su Chen and the Five Great Families. No matter what happens, no one from Hidden Dragon Hall may intervene!"
Wei Hua spoke slowly, his words imbued with an undeniable authority that spread out around him!
Everyone was dumbfounded upon hearing Wei Hua's declaration, their mouths agape in shock!
What was going on?
Wei Hua had just talked about bringing that young man back to be confined at the rear cliff for three years, so how had it suddenly co to this?
Moreover, wasn't this decision contrary to the long-standing rules of Hidden Dragon Hall?
What exactly caused Vice Hall Master Wei Hua to have such a drastic change in attitude?
It must be related to his brief absence just now, but what exactly happened during that ti?
Everyone was completely in the dark, feeling everything was very mysterious!
"Uncle Yao, what on earth is going on?"
Yan Xi turned to Yao Zhe beside her and asked. Of course, she hoped that Hidden Dragon Hall would stay out of the affairs between Su Chen and the Five Great Families, but the current situation was just too bizarre!
"It seems the young fellow you know is not of ordinary status!"
Yao Zhe looked at Wei Hua's serious expression and murmured insightfully.
"Not ordinary?"
Yan Xi frowned upon hearing this, thinking that he didn't seem extraordinary, did he?
His identity as the King of the Nether might seem powerful to outsiders, but in the eyes of Hidden Dragon Hall, it wasn't sothing to be concerned about.
If one were to say his cultivation was formidable, there were certainly not a few within Hidden Dragon Hall stronger than him!
"Vice Hall Master..."
Yu Weidong, upon hearing Wei Hua's words, beca anxious. What was this about?
Was his disciple going to be beaten for nothing?
The so-called punishnt of three years' seclusion was already as light as it could be, and he was biting the bullet on that!
Now, to his dismay, they were straight-up ignoring the matter; how could he stand for this!
But as soon as he spoke up, Wei Hua interrupted him:
"Protector Yu, this is my final decision. I hope you don't have any objections!"
As Wei Hua's words landed, everyone was once again profoundly stunned!
After all, it was rare for Wei Hua to show so little regard for Yu Weidong's feelings, especially with such an uncompromising and imperious attitude!
"Yes!"
As the Vice Hall Master, Wei Hua was ultimately in command. Although he usually seed like a gentle person, once he exerted his authority, even Yu Weidong wouldn't dare to defy him!
However, as he uttered the word "Yes," his heart was filled with frustration and disdain!
"Alright, let's leave the matter at that. Everyone, you may disperse," Wei Hua declared, signaling an end to the discussion with a wave of his hand.
Upon hearing this, everyone retreated, but each person left with a heart full of doubts...
......
Su Chen was completely unaware of the events unfolding within Hidden Dragon Hall!
At the mont, he was joyfully playing Candy Crush in his office; he hadn't been playing the ga long, so he was still enjoying it imnsely!
Considering he had nothing else to do at the company besides playing gas, reading magazines, or occasionally visiting the PR departnt and Xia Qiuru, he was quite content.
However, since he was under the watchful eye of his own wife, he only visited the PR departnt and Xia Qiuru occasionally. After all, if Lin Ruoxue got annoyed and issued a strict confinent edict, it would be more than he bargained for!
In truth, Lin Ruoxue understood his character, so she usually turned a blind eye unless he went too far...
If she were to get angry with him every day over such matters, she herself would be the one to suffer in the end...
