Chapter 790: Chapter 0790: Su Family Engagement Banquet

"A high-level martial master, how powerful can they be? Who are they?"

Wu Xiaoyu asked disdainfully.

"Two six-star martial masters. As for who they are, I haven’t found out yet," Qi Liu Hai replied helplessly, shaking his head before looking at Uncle Qiu, who stood by.

"I heard it clearly yesterday. A person named Tang Xin said before leaving that if we wanted revenge, we should come to him," Uncle Qiu promptly reported.

"Tang Xin? Who is this person?"

After pondering for a while, Wu Xiaoyu realized that among the Dark Group’s priority watchlist, there was no mention of such an impressive figure, and immediately her brows furrowed in confusion.

"I have asked around. I heard that this Tang Xin is the boyfriend of Su Xiaoxi," Uncle Qiu continued, explaining, "At the Li Family’s banquet, after the young master left early, this Tang Xin appeared claiming to be Su Xiaoxi’s boyfriend. It is said that he is a big shot in the Dark Group."

"Bullshit! There is no such person in the Dark Group, let alone a big shot."

Wu Xiaoyu refuted immediately, as she herself was a high-ranking member of the Dark Group and was very familiar with its dynamics.

"Could it be? Is this person using a forged identity?"

Qi Bikou’s face changed slightly. If that was the case, then this person’s audacity was immense, and their acting skills terrifying; even Old Master Su had been fooled.

"I’m not sure about that, but I can say with one hundred percent certainty that this person is definitely not among the renowned members of the Dark Group," Wu Xiaoyu stated with conviction.

"So..."

Just as Qi Liu Hai was about to speak, a servant walked in and reported, "Family Head, the Su Family has just sent over an invitation, inviting representatives of the Qi Family to attend Miss Su Xiaoxi and Mr. Tang Xin’s engagement ceremony."

"Speak of the devil, and he shall appear," Qi Liu Hai remarked as he took the invitation, glanced over it, and handed it to Wu Xiaoyu, "It’s this Tang Xin, now brazenly intending to become relatives with the Su Family."

"Interesting, so the Su Family’s frequent activities around here have been for Su Xiaoxi’s engagement," Wu Xiaoyu said with an odd smile after looking at the invitation, "If the people of the Su Family knew that this Tang Xin is actually an imposter, I bet their expressions would be priceless."

"Cousin, what do you mean by that?" Qi Bikou asked, looking puzzled at Wu Xiaoyu.

"Hmph, didn’t that Tang Xin say if you want revenge, just come to him? At tomorrow’s engagement banquet, I’ll go with you. As soon as I expose his identity in person, we won’t need to lift a finger; the Su Family themselves won’t let him off," Wu Xiaoyu sneered with narrowed eyes.

"Xiaoyu, the other party has six-star martial masters for protection; won’t we provoke them by doing this?" Qi Liu Hai reminded with concern.

"What’s there to be afraid of? We’re not confronting him head-on. We just need to use our power to suppress him," Wu Xiaoyu laughed, unconcerned.

"Right, right, right, relying on martial force isn’t the highest realm of trampling people. We’re going to make him lose face and become a rat crossing the street," Qi Liu Hai agreed.

Qi Bikou echoed excitedly.

"Exactly."

In Wu Xiaoyu’s eyes, sparks of brilliance flickered. Although she lacked the power to contend with a Six-star Martial Master, in the eyes of the state authorities, even a Six-star Martial Master was nothing but dregs; no one could stand against the state.

At ten in the afternoon, upon learning they did not have to return to Songlan City, the three girls and Chen Cang were not disheartened but instead became very excited. The four of them went shopping and spreeing once again.

Feeling guilty, Chu Batian and Xin Badao put even more effort into ensuring the safety of the three girls, and as a result, nothing untoward happened all day.

The next morning at the Blue Sky Hotel, in an even more exquisite and smaller banquet hall, the Su Family held the engagement ceremony for Su Xiaoxi and Tang Xin.

Su Xiaoxi told the old master of the Su Family that Tang Xin, as the leader of the Martial Arts Inspection Team, did not like a large congregation of martial artists; hence, the guests who could attend this banquet had been selected through strict criteria. Only those forces with the standing to converse with the Su Family on equal terms were eligible for an invitation. Therefore, although the number of participants was not large, they were all elite.

The Qi Family, having a not-so-shallow relationship with the Wu Family, naturally qualified to attend this engagement banquet. However, Wu Xiaoyu was not on the guest list; it was by the Qi Family’s name recognition that they managed to bring her in.

"Cousin, you see those three girls and the ’freak’ over there? They’re the ones who hit me before," Qi Bikou said, sitting at a round table, pointing not far off at Liu Mengting and the three girls, reverting to his arrogant nature. "You must avenge me and beat that freak to death."

"They seem vaguely familiar."

Wu Xiaoyu frowned slightly. Although she had not met the three girls face-to-face, she seemed to have seen photos of these people while investigating Tang Ming.

"It seems the other party has no simple background; the guests who can enter here today are all heavyweights. We cannot underestimate anyone," warned Qi Liu Hai with a serious look on his face.

"Heh, making such a big deal of this, I wonder how the Su Family will manage after I reveal Tang Xin’s true identity," Wu Xiaoyu said with a cold smile, picked up a glass of water from the table, took a sip, and then closed her eyes to rest, waiting for the drama to begin.

While Wu Xiaoyu and others observed Liu Mengting and the four of them, they also were engaged in their lively discussions.

"It’s strange, Qi Liu Hai and Qi Bikou should have been seriously injured; how can they appear here as if nothing happened?" Li Xiaoli asked the others, puzzled.

"Yeah, I’m not sure about Qi Liu Hai, but I kicked Qi Bikou hard enough that he shouldn’t have been able to get out of bed for at least ten days to half a month. He is recovering too quickly," Chen Cang also said, bewildered by the sight of Qi Bikou. "But we don’t really know about the depth of resources a Martial Arts Family has; maybe they have some Spiritual Medicine that can heal injuries quickly."

"Xiaocang, that Qi Liu Hai got it worst, first, you disfigured him, then Tang Ming stuffed his stomach full of stuff, and finally, you and Xiaoli forced down a pot of spicy hotpot soup. It’s unreasonable for him to recover so quickly," retorted Liu Mengting, giving Chen Cang a glance.

"Xiaocang, you looked really scary yesterday; you must never drink again," Xia Wei’er said, still frightened, admonishing him. "Also, Xiaoli, you’re a girl, how could you be so wild? It’s really scary."

"Shut it. I was drunk at the time; otherwise, how could I, being such a lady, do something so violent?" Chen Cang protested with an embarrassed and coquettish expression.

"Alright, alright, it looks like they aren’t planning to trouble us today, so let’s just pretend we don’t know them to avoid trouble," said Liu Mengting, waving her hand dismissively before pulling Xia Wei’er and Li Xiaoli off to find a corner to sit down in.

The people from the Sun Family and the Li Family sat at a table together; they were part of the large forces of the province, so they too were among the invited.
