Chapter 1961: Chapter 1961: Little Thing, Come Here to Me

He certainly couldn’t say that Sui Zimo and Lin Caisang were not individuals they could afford to offend, because they were both capable of covertly injuring the head of his Yue Clan.

Moreover, the ruler of Haibo Kingdom was backing them up, and who knew what other significant figures might be behind them?

Therefore, he could only find an excuse.

"They are the saviors of the Eldest Young Master and should be treated with courtesy. Since they have come to our Yue Clan, they ought to be welcomed with a banquet. That is the proper etiquette, understand?"

"Yes, I understand," one of his subordinates replied, not daring to contradict Yue Chong any further.

Yet, in his heart, he still felt that these people from the wastelands were utterly unworthy of meeting their house lord.

When he later went to the courtyard of the Eldest Young Master, he made up his mind to give those people a good talking to!

...

In Yue Chushui’s courtyard.

Delicious dishes were already laid out on the table, and everyone was gathering around, preparing to eat.

At this moment, the guard sent by Yue Chong didn’t knock but, relying on his high cultivation level, jumped directly over the courtyard wall and into the yard.

That’s because everyone in the Yue Clan knew that the gate to Yue Chushui’s courtyard was a mechanism array that could not be pushed open by hand; one had to ring a bell. Even if you rang the bell, if Yue Chushui didn’t want to see you, you wouldn’t get to see him.

But he was sent by the house lord, how could he leave without seeing Yue Chushui?

So, after giving it some thought, he figured that all the people in the entire courtyard were useless, so he didn’t need to be polite to them and just jumped over the wall.

However, he had no idea that just as he jumped over the wall, he would be injured by a black panther that emerged from nowhere. Moreover, the claws of this black panther were poisonous.

He was suddenly frightened, clutching his wounded arm, with cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.

And that black panther who had injured someone was Lin Caisang’s Blackie.

"Who are you?"

A small boy, following Blackie, came out and looked at the pained guard with not an iota of sympathy. Instead, his cold gaze settled on him.

"You, what are you... who are you?"

The guard, clutching his arm, breathlessly asked the small boy. Before, he hadn’t noticed such a young boy among the group led by the Eldest Young Master, so where did he come from?

Hearing the guard’s words, Yin Baiqing tilted his head and thought carefully, then looked at him and spoke.

"It was I who asked you first, shouldn’t you be the one to answer my question?" he asked.

This person dared to jump over the wall, as he had clearly seen, and one who jumps walls was definitely not a good person, right?

That’s why he let Blackie give him a claw!

"You..."

The guard, taken aback by Yin Baiqing’s words, became infuriated.

An ambush by a black panther was only because he had been careless for a moment, but now, even a child dared to speak to him with such disrespect?

In the Yue Clan, he was one of the house lord’s most trusted men—no one had ever dared to question him like this.

Even the Old Madam, when she asked him to come for questioning, was always polite; this was nothing like that.

Thinking this, he became filled with anger, wanting to grab the boy before him and thoroughly interrogate where exactly he came from.

"Who are you with, do you know where this is? Entering this place carelessly is not going to end well for you, you little rascal, come here."
