PM.
Song Kai prepared the best vehicle and personally escorted Qin Hao and Song Jiaxin onto the beast carriage, then he went to the carriage at the back.
Around the carriage were four maids led by Chun i, with elite guards and disciples of the Song Family at the front and back.
The arrangents were grand.
After all, Qin Hao was a Peak Extre Realm Expert, and Song Kai dared not be negligent; this was practically the Song Family’s largest display.
Outside the Song Family, there were people monitoring, naly from the Xiong Family. Ever since Song Jiaxin left ho, the Xiong Family had sent people to keep an eye on her; as soon as Song Jiaxin returned, they would receive the news imdiately.
The return of Qin Hao and his group escaped their notice, so they were unaware, but now that Song Jiaxin and a man got onto the carriage, they noticed imdiately. The maid Chun i also returned; it seed the eldest miss of the Song Family really had returned.
"Quickly report to the Family Head and Young Master, saying the Song Family’s eldest miss has returned, and they appear to be attending the family head’s banquet at the Ji Zhou manor."
At once, soone left quickly to run back to the Xiong Family.
The Xiong Family wasn’t far from the Song Family; the servant quickly arrived at the Xiong Family’s mansion entrance. At this ti, the Xiong Family’s Family Head Xiong Yuda and Young Master Xiong Qiang intended to join the banquet; they had just co out of the mansion, planning to get onto their carriage.
After the servant ran over, he whispered a few words into Xiong Yuda’s ear.
Xiong Yuda’s expression remained unchanged, and he nodded slightly: "I understand, continue to send people to closely monitor the Song Family."
Logically speaking, after confirming Song Jiaxin’s return, the Xiong Family could stop surveilling the Song Family, but the Xiong Family had bigger ambitions. Having his son marry the Song Family’s eldest miss was just the first step; next, he planned to completely annex the entire Song family.
In Xijin City, the Song Family was only a dium-sized family; the Xiong Family was stronger, being considered among the top-tier families in Xijin City, though ranked lower among them. However, after annexing the Song Family, the Xiong Family’s strength would greatly enhance.
...
At Ji Zhou manor.
The luxurious carriage of the Song Family quickly arrived here. The butler and maids at the entrance had already received notice, and upon seeing the Song family’s carriage, they shouted loudly while running over.
"Song Family Head Song Kai is here."
Song Kai stepped down from the carriage, and the manor’s butler greeted him at once with utmost respect: "Family Head Song, welco. The family head will certainly be very pleased you could co in person; he often ntions you, saying that you both once studied at the sa academy."
"The family head is too polite, the butler personally greeting is too gracious." Song Kai smiled, though inwardly he felt so disdain.
When I ca here a few days ago, you all looked down on , especially you, the butler, acting all high and mighty, not even giving a proper look.
Song Kai was well aware that the change in attitude from the manor was entirely because of Qin Hao. If his daughter hadn’t brought back such a supre expert, would the manor behave this way towards him?
Fortunately, I was smart enough to have my daughter stay by his side. With such a master protecting us, who in Xijin City would dare touch our Song Family? Not just in Xijin City, but in the entire kingdom, who would dare touch us?
Thinking of this, Song Kai felt extrely invigorated, his body lightly trembling. Our Song Family is destined to rise.
At this mont, Qin Hao and Song Jiaxin stepped down from the carriage, Song Jiaxin intimately supporting Qin Hao like a maid.
The manor’s butler saw this, his heart shook. Seeing Song Kai’s smile, he understood that from now on, no one in Xijin City would dare touch the Song Family; even the manor would have to show them utmost respect.
The terror of a Peak Extre Realm Expert was beyond imagination.
Ji Hu, along with his children Ji Zhou and Ji Sitong, ca out too, and upon hearing the butler’s voice, they imdiately stepped out.
At this mont, another fleet of carriages approached; it was the Xiong Family, blocked by the Song Family’s convoy in front.
The leader of the Xiong Family’s guards snapped irritably: "Who dares to block our Xiong Family’s convoy? Hurry up and get out of the way."
The Song Family’s guards heard this, their expressions shifting slightly. Song Kai turned to look at the Xiong Family’s convoy, inwardly sneering: let you be arrogant for a few more days; soon, there’ll be no Xiong Family in Xijin City.
Xiong Yuda and his son Xiong Qiang stepped down from their carriage, looking at the imposing convoy of the Song Family with so disdain as well.
Xiong Yuda smiled, intending to speak to Song Kai, when he saw Ji Hu, accompanied by Ji Zhou and Ji Sitong, coming out.
He hurriedly approached with his son: "Mr. Ji..."
Before he could finish his greeting, he realized sothing wasn’t right; Ji Hu didn’t even glance at him, walking straight towards the Song Family, towards Song Kai.
"Mr. Song, long ti no see, truly reminiscent of our days at Red Wind Academy," Ji Hu ca up warmly, shaking hands with Song Kai.
He didn’t approach Qin Hao to shake hands, knowing well his own status; he wasn’t qualified to greet him and chose instead to shake hands with Song Kai.
"Ji Family Head, I also fondly rember our ti at Red Wind Academy. Ti flies, decades have passed in the blink of an eye." Song Kai cooperatively responded, for he didn’t wish to offend the Ji Family, hoping for a mutual alliance.
The Song Family couldn’t rely on Qin Hao’s protection forever; he had to develop his own strength and allies.
Song Kai was leveraging this montum for growth; he was a smart person who knew how to maneuver.
Ji Hu: "Mr. Song, calling Ji Family Head seems too formal; you could call brother, shouldn’t mind, right? Back at the academy, we addressed each other as brothers."
Song Kai didn’t hesitate: "If that’s the case, then I’ll call you Brother Ji."
Ji Hu glanced at Qin Hao and quickly said: "Family Head Song, Miss Song, please enter, let’s talk inside."
They entered the manor, Ji Hu and Song Kai walking side by side, Ji Zhou and Ji Sitong beside Song Jiaxin: "Miss Song, Mr. Hao, please enter."
Song Jiaxin acted gracefully and elegantly, her voice soft and crisp: "Young Master, please."
Qin Hao walked inside.
From start to finish, no one paid the Xiong Family any mind, which made Xiong Yuda’s face imnsely dark, yet he was also surprised; what happened for Ji Family Head to be so friendly to Song Kai?
Xiong Yuda’s son, Xiong Qiang’s eyes were almost burning with fire; he felt as if a large green hat was placed on his head.
Who is that pretty boy next to the wretched Song Jiaxin? Why is she so intimate with him? Has she already done those unspeakable things with that pretty boy?
These thoughts enraged Xiong Qiang; that wretched woman, that wretched woman, I must kill her...
And that pretty boy, I will cut you into pieces, I will slaughter you.
At this ti, the manor’s butler saw them and approached with a smile: "Ah, so it’s the Xiong Family Head and Young Master Xiong, please co in."
