Chapter 686: Chapters 681-682: I’m Not Into That! _2

She was a tier above her Middle Tier Bone Tempering stage.

The reason for her judgement wasn’t from drawing lots or a wild guess; she never made judgments without evidence.

If the final scene of disgrace from Li Zhengyi at tonight’s banquet left her deeply troubled, the impression that Xiao Yi left on her was like a mix of rain, mist, and wind. Then, the man with no expression, who had followed Li Zhengyi all along and was referred to as Uncle Hua by him, undoubtedly left a profound impression on her!

Or more precisely, it was the moment when Zhao Gao spilled a cup of wine on his face when he emitted a terrifying aura that left a deep impression on her, although it was just for a moment, but it was enough for her to make a judgement about his strength!

That was definitely a strength above the High Tier of the Bone Tempering Period, perhaps even above the peak, because at that moment, even she felt terrified, and if she was scared, his strength was certainly above hers!

She had not anticipated that someone as perilous as him could be hidden beside such a playboy like Li Zhengyi. In that moment, she was secretly thankful that she had chosen to use Xiao Yi as a shield instead of opting for some radical method. Otherwise, even if she had not gotten into trouble, she likely would have suffered a lot.

And yet, such an unfathomable master had just changed his clothes afterwards and never came out again, and very unfortunately, just before he went to change, Xiao Yi had also coincidentally gone to the bathroom...

All these were just minor coincidences that almost nobody noticed, even Li Zhengyi seemed to be oblivious, but unfortunately, she was one of the very few who had noticed...

She certainly didn’t believe that Uncle Hua had taken the opportunity to change his clothes to sneak in a nap inside the villa; judging by his earlier behavior, he seemed desperate to tie himself to Li Zhengyi to ensure Li Zhengyi’s safety.

The only possibility was that he had met with an accident and couldn’t return, at least, he couldn’t return to the banquet.

If one might say, just that alone didn’t suggest his attack was related to Xiao Yi, the subsequent events definitely confirmed her guess. After Xiao Yi came back, though he seemed not much changed on the surface, the change was drastic. Initially passively being forced to drink, upon returning, he began actively making others drink.

It was from that time onwards that those who had been close with Li Zhengyi and eagerly forced drinks on Xiao Yi started falling one by one, and Xiao Yi began to drink recklessly as well, fearlessly using his cultivation to expel the alcohol and discharge it directly out of his body. Others thought the alcohol on his clothes was due to his clinking glasses and accidentally dropping bottles on himself, but she knew very well that most of it was expelled from his body, all his actions were merely a disguise.

She also knew very well that the last mishap of Li Zhengyi was definitely Xiao Yi’s doing, just that, how Xiao Yi had done it and what method he used, she did not know.

"Regardless if he used any drugs, he is definitely talented!"

The old man slapped the table without hesitation, causing the whole table to wobble, and the tea in the tea cup even splashed out.

"Grandpa, what’s wrong?"

Zhao Yuhua looked at her grandpa in surprise, somewhat puzzled. Even if he was talented, there was no need for such a big reaction from grandpa.

"It’s nothing, Yu, don’t think about it anymore. This person is a rare talent. Grandpa has decided, Grandpa will make some time to meet with him."

The old man realized his gracelessness and a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face as he touched his beard.

"You’re meeting with him? Grandpa, why do you want to meet him?"

Zhao Yuhua was stunned again. She always felt that today’s Grandpa seemed a bit odd, and his words were somewhat inexplicable.

"I want to meet him—of course... of course it’s to find a way to bring such talent over to serve our Zhao family."

The words had almost slipped out—that of course, it was to check his character, to see if he was worthy of you. Thankfully, he caught himself, and his face took on an expression that said, as if of course.

However, after speaking, he added silently to himself that the best way to win someone over was to make them one of our own.

"Oh."

Zhao Yuhua nodded, not thinking too deeply as she immediately returned to today’s main topic, "Grandpa, what do you think about today’s incident?"

"What is there to think about, hmph, that Li boy dared to set his sights on my granddaughter, of course, we have to teach him a harsh lesson!"

The old man huffed angrily, his face showing a surge of anger, "Right, you just said that quite a few people at those gatherings today took photos? Who were they? I’ll have someone contact them immediately to have them upload the photos, using the fastest and most effective means to achieve the greatest impact!"

"Grandpa... but that Li guy, he seems to have a complicated background..."

A warm feeling rose in Zhao Yuhua’s heart; she knew that her Grandpa’s anger stemmed from his affection for her. Although she also disliked Li Zhengyi and hoped for Grandpa to act, thinking of the expert beside Li Zhengyi, aware that Li Zhengyi might not be a simple small-time celebrity as she had understood before, she still spoke calmly.

She did not want to bring any unnecessary losses to the Zhao family because of her.

"Hmph, he has a complicated background? Is our Zhao family easily bullied then? If the people of our Zhao family lack even this bit of blood and courage, then what’s the point of living? They might as well be like that Li fellow, playing tortoise and hiding their heads all the time!"

The old man’s brow lifted, his eyes shooting a sharp gleam, his demeanor exuding an indescribable dominance and pride, "No matter who it is, if they dare to bully the people of our Zhao family, I will absolutely not let them off! Yuhua, even though you are a girl, you remember Grandpa’s words, in the future, if anyone bullies you, just slap them. Don’t pussyfoot around or have too many concerns. Remember, you are a daughter of our Zhao Family, you are the granddaughter of Zhao Chunfeng! Grandpa and the Zhao family, we are your backing!"

"The people of our Zhao family don’t abide by the idea that a gentleman’s revenge is not too late, even after ten years! We always repay a date with ten jins of grain. If someone so much as touches a hair on us, I’ll skin them alive! Living in this world, always bending and scraping, it’s better to be dead!"
