Sister Ying found an excuse and left the bamboo forest.

She made sure she was far enough from Yang Fei before taking out her phone and calling Young Master Little Xu.

"Xu Xi, I can't mediate this."

"Their attitude is too strong. They don't even respect me."

On the other end of the line, Young Master Little Xu's voice came through, cold and ruthless.

"Thank you, Sister Ying, for your hard work."

"It's nothing. If they refuse the offer of a toast, they'll have to drink the forfeit. They'll cry eventually."

Sister Ying responded with a hum, speaking blandly.

"However, I suggest you don't go too far."

"Otherwise, it could create problems with Xue Mingtai."

When the notable name Xue Mingtai was mentioned, Young Master Little Xu also paused briefly.

After a moment, Young Master Little Xu spoke calmly.

"Isn't Yang Fei just relying on Xue Mingtai's influence?"

"But this place isn't Xue Mingtai's Jingshui Villa, hmph!"

Sister Ying sighed, knowing Xu Xi had made up his mind.

He would offend Xue Mingtai if necessary to compete with Yang Fei for the development rights of Martial God Town.

At this moment, Young Master Little Xu, Xu Xi, was sitting in the back seat of a black Maserati.

The car was on its way to Red Leaf Villa.

Beside Xu Xi sat a slightly portly man.

He had a crew cut, was about thirty years old, and had an air of authority on his face.

Only those who wield great power and have long issued commands have such an authoritative aura.

This important figure was Xu Xi's brother, Xu Dian.

Upon hearing Xu Xi mention Xue Mingtai, Xu Dian's face darkened slightly.

"Why did you get involved with Xue Mingtai? That guy's not easy to handle."

Xu Xi, somewhat afraid of his brother, tried to smile.

"Don't worry, brother, I know what I'm doing. I won't provoke Xue Mingtai randomly."

"Yang Fei is just a small fry. Xue Mingtai won't go against our Xu Family just for him."

Xu Dian, hearing this, felt slightly reassured.

"Actually, I support your work in Martial God Town."

"Right now, the country is making great efforts to alleviate poverty."

"Investing in Martial God Town aligns with national policy and can also earn some political capital."

Xu Xi chuckled, feeling quite proud.

"Of course, do you think I would do something unprofitable?"

"First and foremost, I consider the prospects of you and father."

At this point, his expression turned grim.

"However, things are quite tricky right now."

"Luo Dicheng in Yannan City refuses to transfer Liang Jiayi, making it difficult for our Xiangfei Group to fully enter Martial God Town."

Xu Dian took a deep breath.

"I've heard about Luo Dicheng. He's capable, straightforward, and quite stubborn."

"But I have a way to deal with him."

Xu Xi's eyes lit up upon hearing his brother's relaxed tone, feeling immense joy.

"So you have a way to remove Luo Dicheng, that's fantastic."

Xu Dian smiled slightly: "Handling Luo Dicheng is easy."

"I'm just worried that Yang Fei might not be as simple as you think."

"After all, anyone who earns Xue Mingtai's respect isn't ordinary."

Xu Xi patted his chest in assurance.

"I've looked into Yang Fei's background hundreds of times."

"Six months ago, this guy was just an odd-job man at a hotel."

"Later, through some twist of fate, he latched onto Xue Mingtai and suddenly rose to prominence."

Xu Dian sighed: "I hope it's as you say, that would make things much easier."

As they chatted, Red Leaf Villa appeared before them.

The driver parked the car at the entrance of Red Leaf Villa.

Xu Xi got out first and respectfully walked to the other side.

He opened the car door and invited Xu Dian out.

As Xu Dian stepped out, a crowd had already gathered at the entrance to welcome him.

Among these people were the eloquent Villa Master Chen Xingzhu, Sister Ying, and a group of elite offspring.

Out of courtesy, Liang Jiayi also came out to greet him.

Only Yang Fei couldn't be bothered to acknowledge the legendary figure, Young Master Xu.

He was meditating in the bamboo forest pavilion, practicing Turtle Hibernation.

Though Xu Dian held a high position, he was very amiable, chatting with everyone one by one.

He glanced around and listened to Xu Xi's introductions, but he didn't see Yang Fei and was momentarily puzzled.

Catching a moment when no one was paying attention, Xu Dian discreetly asked Xu Xi.

"Which one is Yang Fei? Why isn't he here?"

Xu Xi was taken aback and scanned the surroundings, confirming that Yang Fei was indeed nowhere to be seen.

He was furious.

Given Xu Dian's status, he was always the center of attention wherever he went.

Yet this Yang Fei dared to ignore Xu Dian, which was extremely arrogant.

Xu Dian, however, was not angry and continued inside Red Leaf Villa, surrounded by the crowd.

For some reason, Xu Dian felt a vague sense of foreboding regarding this arrogant individual.

Xu Dian had reached his current position by being cautious and perceptive, never making a mistake.

In this respect, he was much smarter than his brother, Xu Xi.

As Xu Dian sat down, receiving everyone's flattery and greetings, his mind remained unsettled, contemplating the absent Yang Fei.

Xu Dian was the central figure of this party. Once he arrived at the villa, the party officially began.

In the hall, long tables were adorned with flowers, pastries, and various delicate snacks.

There were also numerous drinks.

Just the red wine alone had over a dozen varieties, along with various other spirits.

The chandelier in the hall shone brilliantly.

Many fashionable and elegant elite offspring, handsome men, and beautiful women were gathered, drinking and chatting.

It was at these moments that one's social status became clear.

Everyone formed their own circles, engaging in lively conversations.

These social circles seemed random and casual but had strict hierarchies.

Generally, only people with similar backgrounds and resources could form circles and chat together.

Those with higher status wouldn't engage deeply in lower-status circles.

Likewise, elite offspring of lower status couldn't hope to integrate into higher-status circles for intimate conversations.

Of course, at such social parties, an important purpose was to expand one's social circle.

Therefore, some lower-status elite offspring also frequently toasted higher-status groups, ignoring the odd looks from others.

They were eager to climb into a higher-level social circle, hoping to become familiar faces.

Fang Tang was such a person.

He relied on Xu Xi to get into such a high-end party and cherished this networking opportunity.

He fawned over Xu Dian tirelessly, serving like a little eunuch, his sycophantic demeanor disgusting everyone.

Xu Dian, chatting with Sister Ying and several high-status offspring, found this man's presence as repulsive as swallowing a fly.

However, Xu Dian couldn't say anything.

Fang Tang was, after all, Xu Xi's friend and it wouldn't be good to create an awkward scene.

Meanwhile, Xu Dian kept an eye out for the mysterious Yang Fei.

His intuition told him that Yang Fei was anything but simple.

An elite offspring came over to toast Xu Dian.

Xu Dian took the tall glass of wine from him and sipped the top-notch Lafite.

At that moment, a figure drifted into the hall entrance.

Under the lights, that person had a long face, a sharp chin, and starry eyes, looking handsome.

Yet his lazy demeanor was infuriating.

Poof!

Seeing the person's face, Xu Dian was shocked as if struck by lightning and spat out a mouthful of red wine.

Yang Fei had arrived.
