"Family Head, the Second Young Master You speaks the truth. That is exactly how it happened!" Yellow Hair hurried to explain. "That man was utterly overbearing. He crippled the Second Young Master You's legs on the spot. Purple Hair couldn't stand it and made to teach him a lesson, but who would have thought... he was no match for him. Now Purple Hair is in some strange state—like he's been possessed. He won't move a muscle..."
"What? Purple Hair is a fine hand at the early Earth Rank, and he was still no match?" You Zhentian froze, and the look on his face shifted at once.
"That man was an early Earth Rank expert too, and his martial techniques seemed very advanced, so..." Yellow Hair's rank was too low; he could not even study martial techniques, so his understanding of them was limited. Such things were not for a Yellow Rank hand like him to know.
"An Earth Rank expert... so he was Earth Rank too! What's this man's name, where does he come from? Is he here to offer birthday congratulations to the Tang Family as well?" You Zhentian asked after a moment's thought.
"His name is Wei Zhao. The girl I know is named Tang Zhi. Wei Zhao is Tang Zhi's brother-in-law..." You Panhu said. "He doesn't seem to be from any of the great families..."
"What!" Before You Zhentian could speak, You Xiaoxin cried out in alarm.
"What is it, Little Sister? Are these people of some consequence?" Seeing his sister's reaction, You Zhentian's heart sank at once. If these people truly were of consequence, then this loss would likely have to be swallowed whole—and whether they would even come after him next was anyone's guess!
"That Wei Zhao I can't say—never heard of him. But this Tang Zhi... she is someone of no small consequence!" At the mention of Tang Zhi, a flicker of hatred crossed the corner of You Xiaoxin's mouth. "She is the biological daughter of that bitch Xiaoming!"
"What! Xiaoming's daughter?" You Zhentian was stunned. "Then doesn't that make her... the Ice Palace Lord's sister?"
"Who else would it be!" You Xiaoxin said coldly. "If we had just strangled her back then, we would have been spared all this trouble!"
"Just as well... she's Xiaoming's daughter, so the problem isn't too great. The real question is where her sister and brother-in-law come from. Her brother-in-law is actually an Earth Rank expert? As far as I know, she was raised in an ordinary commoner household, wasn't she? How could she possibly know a cultivator?"
"That's hard to say. But if what Xiaohu says is true, then we hold the moral high ground. The other side struck first and injured someone—this matter is not our responsibility!" You Xiaoxin said. "Besides, they have the Ice Palace at their backs—but don't we have the Xuandan Sect at ours? Didn't that envoy from the Xuandan Sect say he would come here to lend us face?"
Hearing his sister's words, You Zhentian nodded. Indeed, if this was truly as You Panhu had described, then the You Family was not to blame. The other side had been utterly graceless, utterly overbearing—and they themselves were the injured party!
"Panhu, is everything you've said the truth? You're not lying?" You Zhentian asked.
