Chapter 25 Xiao Wang, sit over there.
Wang Ai felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him.
In an instant, he couldn't even catch his breath.
His face turned pale and then flushed.
He wanted to lash out, but then he glanced at Zhang Zhiwei, who stood not far away, like an abyss.
She glanced again at Su Wuxian, who was so close, his eyes filled with a strange smile.
A moment later, Wang Ai let out a long breath.
He chickened out.
Su Wuxian is a madman.
If he says no now.
Su Wuxian will definitely take action without hesitation!
Even if Su Wuxian doesn't make a move.
He dared not gamble on whether Zhang Zhiwei would actually make a move.
"Alright...alright! I'll give way to you out of respect for elders and children!"
Wang Ai gritted her teeth and forced out those words.
He broke free from Su Wuxian's grasp.
He stood up with a dark expression and moved to the adjacent seat.
"That's right."
Su Wuxian didn't stand on ceremony and plopped down in the main seat, casually greeting everyone:
"Senior brother, second senior brother, come and sit down. I am Wang Ye, Zhang Chulan, please make yourselves at home."
Zhang Zhiwei and Tian Jinzhong sat down on either side of Su Wuxian.
The imposing pomp and circumstance that originally belonged to the Ten Elders instantly transformed into something resembling a private dinner hosted by Su Wuxian.
Lu Ci squinted, remaining silent, seemingly lost in thought.
Chen Jinkui wanted to say something, but in the end he held back.
"waiter!"
Su Wuxian snapped his fingers, completely ignoring the murderous glares around him:
"Where's the menu? Why isn't the food served? Don't you know we're in a hurry?"
Wang Ai took a deep breath and gave Chen Jinkui a wink.
We can't let this kid control the pace anymore!
Chen Jinkui understood immediately, cleared his throat, and said:
"Fellow Daoist Su, there's no rush to eat. Do you all know why we've invited you all here today?"
Su Wuxian tapped his head with his fingers: "What is it? Didn't you know we were visiting Beijing and specially invited us to dinner?"
"Chen Jinkui, have you gone mad from being the sect leader all these years? I can't understand a word you're saying!"
"Pfft—"
Sitting at the end of the table, Zhang Chulan couldn't help but burst out laughing when he saw his advisor, Su, pretending to be stupid.
Feng Baobao, who was standing to the side, was unaware of what had happened. She just scratched her head and sat there blankly.
Wang Ye kept his eyes down, looking as if to say, "Don't touch me, I'm just here to watch the show."
After hearing Su Wuxian's words, Chen Jinkui's expression became the same as Wang Ai's.
They all had that look of disgust, like they'd just eaten shit.
It's patchy with blue and white.
This Su Wuxian!
A complete scoundrel, a shameless rogue!
At this age, he talks like a child every day.
"Ahem... The main reason I invited you all here today is about the matter of Wang Ye of Wudang." Chen Jinkui coughed awkwardly twice.
"Feng Hou Qi Men is one of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, and also the source of the chaos in the past. Wang Ye has mastered this technique at such a young age. If his intentions are not pure, he may bring a catastrophe to the world of extraordinary beings..."
The waiter then brought the menu.
Su Wuxian accepted it expressionlessly.
"So?" Su Wuxian flipped through the menu without looking up. "I'll have braised sea cucumber with scallions, a large portion."
Chen Jinkui was momentarily speechless, but he suppressed his anger and continued:
"Therefore, for the sake of peace in the world of supernatural beings, we, the Ten Elders, suggest that Wang Ye should entrust the Feng Hou Qi Men to the Ten Elders for joint safekeeping, or..."
"Or should we hand it over to your sect, the 'Art of Techniques'?" Su Wuxian ordered another dish, "And a Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, one bowl for each person."
Chen Jinkui's face flushed red: "Su Wuxian! I'm talking to you about serious matters!"
"I'm doing serious business too."
Su Wuxian closed the menu, finally looked up, and stared innocently at Chen Jinkui:
"Isn't ordering food the important thing?"
"As for what you said about Feng Hou Qi Men..."
Su Wuxian picked at his ear and pointed to Wang Ye, who was sitting in the corner playing on his phone:
"That's someone else's stuff. They can give it to whomever they want, and whether they practice on it or not is none of your business!"
"Who do you think you are? A jack-of-all-trades? A cop? Or from the tax bureau?"
"You—!!" Chen Jinkui slammed his fist on the table and stood up.
"That's enough!"
Wang Ai finally couldn't hold back any longer.
He knew he wouldn't gain anything by arguing with Su Wuxian.
This kid is a complete scoundrel; he won't take your "righteous" act seriously at all.
Wang Ai looked at Zhang Zhiwei with a sinister gaze:
"Old Celestial Master, is this also your intention?"
"Tolerating your disciples, embezzling forbidden techniques, and disregarding the rules of the Ten Elders... Zhang Zhiwei, do you really want Longhu Mountain to become the public enemy of the supernatural world?"
This is the true intention revealed.
They directly labeled him with a serious accusation, threatening him with the title of "public enemy of the supernatural world."
Zhang Zhiwei was drinking tea when he heard this and paused slightly.
He slowly put down his teacup, his eyes behind his sunglasses sweeping over everyone present.
"Wang Ai".
Zhang Zhiwei's voice was soft, yet it seemed to carry an immense weight, making everyone's heart sink:
"This time when I came down the mountain, I only brought my mouth, not my ears."
"What my junior brother means is what I mean."
"As for public enemies..."
A faint, mocking smile curled at the corner of Zhang Zhiwei's lips:
"If you're tired of sitting in these Ten Elders positions, this old Daoist doesn't mind... giving the world of supernatural beings a fresh start."
Domineering!
Absolutely domineering!
Wang Ai and Lü Ci's pupils suddenly contracted.
They never expected that Zhang Zhiwei, who always put the big picture first, would actually stand up for Su Wuxian and Wang Ye this time!
"Great...very good!"
Wang Ai laughed in anger, and the walnut in her hand was crushed with a "crack":
"Since the old master doesn't want to reason with us, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"Someone come here!"
With a loud shout from Wang Ai.
"Splash—!"
The screens around the private room shattered instantly.
Dozens of fully armed Wang family assassins, wielding magical artifacts, rushed out instantly and surrounded the round table.
Each weapon shimmered with eerie Qi light, clearly indicating that they were all weapons specifically designed to target supernatural beings.
"Zhang Zhiwei! I know you're amazing!"
Wang Ai stood up and retreated behind the assassins, his face contorted with rage.
"But with my 'Immortal-Trapping Formation' and these thirty-six assassins, even if you're a top-tier expert, you'll still suffer greatly!"
"We can't kill you, but what about these juniors?"
"Today, Wang Ye must leave behind the Feng Hou Qi Men! Otherwise, no one will be able to leave this door!"
Faced with this tense situation...
Zhang Chulan was so startled that he dropped his chopsticks, while Feng Baobao gripped the shovel tightly in her hand.
however.
Su Wuxian, sitting in the main seat, could only sigh helplessly and said to Zhang Zhiwei beside him:
"Senior brother, you see, I told you so."
"It's exhausting to eat with someone who has no manners."
"The food hasn't even arrived yet, and a pile of garbage has already been served."
Su Wuxian slowly stood up, unbuttoned his suit jacket, and cracked his neck, making a series of crisp "crack" sounds.
"Xiao Wang, do you feel...?"
"I didn't kill those Quanxing members last night because I'm kind-hearted?"
Su Wuxian took off his sunglasses, and his clear eyes instantly turned a chilling blood red:
"Since you don't want to be dignified."
"Then, Uncle-Master, I'll... help you save face."
