Capital, within a deep and secluded small courtyard.
This small courtyard is not large, entirely made of wooden structures, surrounded by various rare plants, and with a large banyan tree that requires two people to hug. It truly gives a feeling of a paradise.
At this mont, Bai Yaochen sits in the courtyard, leisurely sipping tea, watching the goldfish swimming in a large water jar in front of him, a smile flashing across his face.
"Grandfather, you were looking for ."
At this mont, a tall young man slowly approaches Bai Yaochen from behind, speaking in a very respectful manner. This young man is tall and handso, but his entire body is exceptionally solid, clearly skilled in martial arts, not just a delicate young man.
This young man is Bai Yaochen's eldest grandson, the rising star of the Bai Family, Bai Haocang!
"Haocang, have you heard about what happened today?"
At this mont, Bai Yaochen sips the tea in his hand and speaks indifferently, his words deep and diocre; he no longer possesses the vim and vigor he showed at the engagent party, and looks as serene as an elderly man in his twilight years.
"Yes, grandfather."
Bai Haocang replies respectfully to Bai Yaochen's words, "It's just a young brash aristocrat with so competence, but in my eyes, he really doesn't asure up!"
Although the events happened several hours ago, the incident at the Sun Family has already spread throughout the capital, and what was done at the Sun Family today has truly shaken everyone!
Young people are often prideful, and Bai Haocang is no exception. His reputation in the capital is notably prominent, and when people ntion him, they respectfully call him Young Master Bai. At this mont, upon hearing the na Lu Yu, he doesn't take it seriously at all.
"Young people, it's good that no one accepts defeat easily. But Haocang, I want you to pay attention to this Lu Yu."
Bai Yaochen's face is filled with a deep smile, and he speaks indifferently, "I know you have good relations with Sun Yaowu's grandson, Sun Guangzhi. I also know Sun Guangzhi has gained so influence outside in recent years, but rember, under no circumstances should you get involved in this matter, understand!?"
Though Bai Yaochen speaks slowly and even kindly, his words are full of warning.
"Grandfather, is it necessary to go this far?"
At this mont, Bai Haocang responds with surprise. It's known that the Bai Family's status is above the Sun Family, and even boasts the capital's only Rolls-Royce Phantom. With such standing, there's no need to guard against a boring rich second generation, as he sees it!
"Is it necessary to go this far?"
Upon hearing his grandson's words, Bai Yaochen speaks, "I ask you, what do you think of Sun Yaowu's strength?"
"Extrely powerful!"
Upon hearing Bai Yaochen's words, Bai Haocang responds, "Sun Yaowu's strength is extrely formidable. Otherwise, the Sun Family wouldn't have its current status!"
"Now, if I tell you that Sun Yaowu's punch, exerting six-tenths of his power, was repelled by Lu Yu standing still, do you still think this Lu Yu is simplistic?"
At this mont, Bai Yaochen looks at Bai Haocang and speaks, while his gaze slightly sharpens, then continues, "I was nearby at the ti. When Sun Yaowu, in anger, made his move, even though it was probing, it involved sixty percent True Power, yet Lu Yu managed to repel that punch. Do you think this is sothing you and that fool Sun Guangzhi could ddle in?"
Hiss!
Upon hearing Bai Yaochen's words, Bai Haocang suddenly gasps with shock, eyes brimming with disbelief.
Even though he's heard rumors from others, he hadn't witnessed the event himself!
Upon hearing his grandfather's words, Bai Haocang can't help but reveal a look of surprise.
Seeing the shock on Bai Haocang's face, Bai Yaochen speaks indifferently, "Haocang, this world is vast, and many things are beyond our understanding. There are places in this world far greater than the capital, places our vision and strength can't reach!"
Having said this, Bai Yaochen hands a scroll to Bai Haocang and continues, "Haocang, this calligraphy was a gift from my master. I'm giving it to you now, hoping you will tread cautiously and not provoke those you shouldn't!"
"I heed grandfather's teachings."
Bai Haocang responds to Bai Yaochen, speaking quickly.
"Mm."
Upon hearing Bai Haocang's words, Bai Yaochen nods and says, "Open it and take a look."
Upon hearing Bai Yaochen's words, Bai Haocang nods, and he directly unfurls the scroll, revealing four powerful characters staring back at him!
"Sky beyond the sky!"
Staring at the formidable calligraphy of four powerful characters, Bai Haocang reads them aloud, full of realization!
...
anwhile, within the Sun Family's estate.
Crash!
A delicate teacup smashes heavily onto the ground, shards scattered everywhere!
"Outrageous! Truly outrageous!" Sun Yaowu's face is filled with anger, even after several hours, unable to calm the fury in his heart.
His Sun Family has utterly humiliated itself throughout the capital today!
His grandson was forced to publicly apologize, the engagent party disrupted by Lu Yu, yet Lu Yu could leave unscathed. Such an event is utterly disgraceful for the Sun Family!
For a long ti, the Sun Family will likely beco the laughingstock among the capital's elite during casual conversations!
In the future, when people see him, Sun Yaowu, they might say, Look, there's the grandfather of the coward whose grandson's fiancée was stolen and was forced to kneel and apologize!
The more he thinks about it, the angrier Sun Yaowu becos!
At that mont, a man exuding a heroic aura stands beside Sun Yaowu, glancing disparagingly at Sun Yi, who remains silent. He then speaks, "Grandfather, there's no need to be so angry. This disgrace ans nothing if we can eliminate Lu Yu. Then today's humiliation will be washed away with blood!"
This man is Sun Yaowu's eldest grandson, Sun Guangzhi!
"Eliminate? How?"
Sun Yaowu speaks, "Your Uncle Sun Wei was severely injured and near death by Lu Yu. That kid, honestly, has so skill. Tell how we can eliminate him!"
"Grandfather,"
In response to Sun Yaowu, Sun Guangzhi smiles, "Tis have changed. The thods you used to establish the Sun Family were honestly too straightforward. Think about it, Lu Yu is still human. If he's human, he has weaknesses and friends!"
"Revenge doesn't have to be direct. Start with the friends around him, like this woman."
Sun Guangzhi's face reveals a dark smile as he slowly places the photo of Leng Qingqiu in front of Sun Yaowu.
