Chapter 156: Chapter 156 General Commits Violence

The old master has weathered many storms over the years, facing countless challenges but always remaining deep and courageous, as unshakeable as Mount Tai before its collapse.

On the joyful occasion of his Longevity Banquet, an unfavorable event occurred, threatening to utterly disgrace him if not handled properly.

"Everyone, please have a couple of drinks, I need to step out to handle some private matters and will be back shortly!" Old Master Xie apologized to the distinguished guests at his table with a bow.

"Master Xie, please feel free to attend to your matters, no need to mind us! If you need our help, just give us a call!" The guests at the same table all smiled understandingly, even proactively offering their assistance.

"I appreciate your kind intentions deeply. I believe my Xie Family can handle it," Old Master Xie’s gaze involuntarily shifted towards Xie Baogui.

Apart from Old Master Xie, Xie Baogui possesses the greatest divine skills and the widest connections within the Xie Family.

With the Xie Family currently facing a crisis, the old master intended for Xie Baogui to contribute.

"Enjoy your meal, dear uncles. I must excuse myself for a moment!" Xie Baogui reluctant stood up from next to Xie Bing, enjoying the proximity with her at the same table greatly.

This moment was precisely when Xie Baogui could showcase himself in front of Xie Bing and the Xie Family elders. Faced with trouble during such a critical time, he naturally could not shirk from demonstrating his capabilities.

If he resolves this troublesome matter for the Xie Family, his status within the family will surely rise.

"Grandfather, don’t worry, it’s just a minor issue. I can handle it!" Xie Baogui boastfully declared.

His words carried a flavor of showing off and bragging.

In front of so many guests, taking charge and handling a difficult situation for the Xie Family, he saw himself as gloriously prominent, instantly becoming the center of attention at the Longevity Banquet.

Pleased with himself, Xie Baogui cast a disdainful glance towards Chu Feng.

At that moment, he fancied himself as the supreme and noble Emperor, while Chu Feng was nothing but a lowly insect.

"Chu Feng, with your trashy capabilities, you still dare to compete with me for Xie Bing? Today, I will make you languish here, becoming the biggest joke of the Xie Mansion’s Longevity Banquet!"

As soon as Xie Baogui’s voice fell.

"Boom! Boom!"

After two muffled thuds, there followed a series of chaotic noises of dishes smashing and furniture overturning.

Then two guards from the Xie Family flew in, having been thrown inside, overturning two tables. Those at the tables let out sharp screams of terror, scrambling frantically to dodge and evade.

The scene was utterly chaotic.

"Vice Minister Xie, you old bastard, come out here!"

A middle-aged man dressed in armor burst in with a group of soldiers, his bellowing voice intimidating every member of the Xie Family.

Upon seeing this middle-aged man, who seemed to be in his late thirties, Xie Baogui’s face drastically changed, paling slightly.

A trace of fear was evident in the depths of his eyes.

"Damn it, why is it this guy?"

Despite having just loudly assured everyone with thumping his chest, claiming he could easily resolve the issue owing to his own strength — partly bluffing.

In front of the stunning beauty Xie Bing, he naturally wanted to show off impressively. Not only to trample Chu Feng into the mud but also to make a significant impression in front of all the guests.

This laid a solid foundation for him to become the foremost figure of the Xie Family in the future.

However, he hadn’t expected the person coming to trouble the Xie Family would be the highly renowned General Li from the Royal Capital.

This person is not only a General but also concurrently serves as the Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of War.

He manages both the Military Selection and Ministry of Storage.

What is Military Selection? It’s the sorting and competing of soldiers in the army, identifying those with exceptional combat skills to be sent to the Imperial Palace or appointed as a military officer elsewhere.

As for the Ministry of Storage, it goes without saying, it’s in charge of the provisions, clothes, and equipment for the troops.

As one can imagine, such an influential figure with numerous elite soldiers under his command, Vice Minister Xie deservedly brought huge trouble upon himself by provoking this person.

Old Master Xie didn’t expect General Li to be so fierce and reckless, storming into his Vice Minister Mansion with his troops.

Even more so, he injured the mansion’s guards in front of so many guests.

This caused him to somewhat lose face.

"Baogui, don’t just stand there, hurry up and deal with this. Otherwise, our Xie Mansion will be utterly disgraced."

The father of Xie Bing and others urgently urged him on.

Xie Baogui felt bitter in his heart. Facing such a powerful figure like General Li, also an old fox from the Ministry of War, how could he handle this? However, since he already boasted, he had no choice but to brace himself and quickly step forward to meet him.

When Xie Baogui saw the intimidating General Li guarded by elite soldiers around him, a chill ran over his entire body.

He involuntarily slumped his shoulders, bent his back a bit, and a respectful smile appeared on his face.

"Oh my, it turns out to be General Li gracing us with his presence! Apologies for not meeting you from afar, please forgive me!"

"Don’t be so hot-tempered, please! Come sit down and have a couple of drinks to cool down, we can discuss this matter..."

Xie Baogui’s cowardly and timid performance in front of General Li was just like that of a servant, causing the guests who had high hopes for him to despise him even more.

The people of the Xie Family, one by one, were greatly shocked, their faces turning gloomy.

It’s a disgrace, the Xie Family, after all, also has a Vice Minister. General Li is merely another Vice Minister, and Xie Baogui’s behavior was indeed disappointing.

It wasn’t like this when Xie Baogui was boasting earlier.

He acted as if he was an immensely important person, able to make the troublemakers outside take a hike just by one word.

"Enough babbling, quickly call that old bastard Vice Minister Xie out!" General Li’s face was ice-cold.

"Please consider my face, let’s sit down and talk about it?" Xie Baogui said, forcing himself.

Slap!

General Li, glaring with his bulging eyes, delivered a hefty slap and sent Xie Baogui tumbling to the side.

"Who do you think you are? Today, I’m not sparing anyone’s face!" General Li, exceedingly ruthless, after hitting Xie Baogui, directly turned his gaze toward Old Master Xie.

He and his men headed straight for the table where Old Master Xie was seated.

As he passed the table where Xie Bing sat, General Li’s muddy eyes inadvertently swept over, irresistibly drawn by Xie Bing’s beauty.

"I heard that there’s a girl in the Xie Family, beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal, truly so," General Li said, filled with admiration.

"Vice Minister Xie, you old undead, promised to pull out Treasury silver for me. Three whole months have passed and it’s not fulfilled. Today if you don’t give me an explanation, I’ll smash this Vice Minister Mansion."

Seemingly having a malicious idea, General Li looked up and roared fiercely at Old Master Xie.

He appeared very aggressive.
