Chapter 785: Sorry, You Two
"Let’s attack it together!" Xue Feng shouted, the Ice Spear in his hand emanating endless cold, directly pointing at the dark figure.
Xiao Xiao nodded, the Fire Elemental Sword in his hand emitting a dazzling glow, with unparalleled sharpness, thrusting directly at the dark figure.
The two rays of light converged in the air, carrying immensely powerful energy, rushing straight towards the source of the darkness.
The figure shrouded in darkness let out a roar, waving its hands in an attempt to block their attack.
However, this strike from Xiao Xiao and Xue Feng used up all their energy.
The light was like the sun in the darkness, making it impossible for the eyes to stay open.
And that beam of light mercilessly broke through the dark figure’s defense, hitting it directly.
The figure in the darkness let out a miserable cry, and then suddenly burst out with a brilliant glow.
Both Xiao Xiao and Xue Feng were panting heavily, unable to see clearly what was happening, their eyes were blinded by the massive light.
The two hastily closed their eyes.
...
Xue Family.
Xue Wei sat in the courtyard, leisurely sipping tea.
Ah San slowly approached: "Master, the Jiang Clan’s Saint Heir has arrived, should we go and greet him?"
Xue Wei raised his hand and said slowly, "Doesn’t he know our address? Is there even a need for us to go greet him?"
Ah San nodded in agreement and stood to the side.
At this moment, Jiang Qi stood outside the Xue Family gate, looking inside with a gloomy expression.
"I’m sorry, you say you were invited by Lord Xue Wei? But we haven’t received any notice from Lord Xue Wei, maybe you’ve made a mistake?"
The guard at the gate smiled politely at Jiang Qi.
To avoid being recognized by the Xue Family, Jiang Qi had deliberately changed his face, but found himself stopped at the gate!
"Wu Chang! What the hell is going on! What’s that guy trying to do!" Jiang Qi angrily turned to Wu Chang beside him.
Wu Chang had also changed his face; although he had been to the Xue Family before, having a different face made him unrecognizable to these people.
"Saint Heir, that guy told us to enter directly upon arrival, but now we can’t even get in. Is that guy playing us!" Wu Chang was also a bit angry.
He had never seen anyone dare to treat Jiang Qi like this, except for that Ye Qingchen.
"I asked you! And now you’re asking me!" Jiang Qi said angrily.
Because of the Xue Family’s strict guards, the two of them could slip in quietly, but it would take some effort.
Jiang Qi had no intention of sneaking in quietly; he was here for negotiations and cooperation, entering through the front gate was essential to maintain his status.
But he didn’t expect to face such an issue at the gate!
Seeing Jiang Qi like this, Wu Chang quickly stepped forward, "Just tell Xue Wei that the person he’s waiting for is here. Tell him to come out quickly to greet us, or else this cooperation won’t happen, and he’ll have to apologize properly once he does!"
The guard at the gate didn’t look pleased upon hearing Wu Chang speak of Xue Wei this way.
"Who do you think you are, to dare talk about our Lord Xue Wei like that! I don’t think you’re here for business with our Lord; you two are probably here to cause trouble!"
The guards stood in front of them with an aggressive demeanor.
Jiang Qi kept a cool face as he looked at these people, "Just a little Xue Wei! Daring to put on such a show in front of me. I think I should just go find your Family Head!"
After saying this, Wu Chang shook his head repeatedly, "Saint Heir, Saint Heir, calm down, calm down, now is not the time to find their Family Head! If we go find their Family Head now, wouldn’t that expose our purpose? If our purpose is revealed, our subsequent actions won’t be convenient! Besides, we’ve already collaborated with their Family Head on business matters; if he finds out we’re looking for someone else in their family again, what would he think of us?"
Wu Chang’s words calmed Jiang Qi.
"Hmph! This Xue Wei, really something! Looks like this cooperation won’t work out! However, if he wants to compete for the Saint Position, there’s no way, I must be involved in this Xue Family’s internal matter!"
Jiang Qi spat these words viciously.
But just as he finished saying this, Ah San’s voice came from behind the door.
"How dare you speak to the master’s esteemed guests like this!" Ah San’s serious voice rang out.
Those guards immediately turned back.
"Lord Ah San! We suspected these two came to make trouble and didn’t know they were esteemed guests. We’re truly sorry, truly sorry!"
Seeing Ah San, they quickly bowed their heads in apology.
Ah San looked at them coldly, "The people you should apologize to are not me, but these two here!"
Ah San gestured towards Jiang Qi and Wu Chang, and the guards quickly turned back around.
"We truly apologize to the two esteemed guests, truly, we’re sorry! It was our fault; we should not have spoken to you like that. It’s entirely our error, please don’t take it to heart, we beg for your forgiveness!"
Their attitude had completely turned around from before.
Jiang Qi didn’t care much for their apology but instead looked towards Ah San.
"Who are you? Xue Wei hasn’t even become the Saint Heir yet, but he’s already putting on such a big show, not even recognizing me!"
Facing Jiang Qi’s question, Ah San immediately said, "Saint Heir, we are truly sorry. I am the personal guard beside the master. We had assumed that when you arrived, even without us, the Xue Family would open its doors wide to welcome you. Yet, who would’ve thought these people were so blind not to recognize you. This matter is our mistake, we truly apologize."
Ah San sincerely apologized to Jiang Qi as well.
But Jiang Qi only coldly huffed at his apology.
"You dare to play us like this, do you really think just a few apologies will suffice?"
Ah San responded to him, "The master admits this was our oversight, so he wishes to invite both of you in to apologize in person."
At this time, Wu Chang couldn’t help but interject, "Saint Heir, shall we still go in? Xue Wei is far too arrogant, he clearly doesn’t hold you in any regard, just sending over a mere guard!"
Jiang Qi remained expressionless, "If they want me to go in, fine, have Xue Wei come out and greet me personally, and apologize!"
This matter, he would not let pass so easily.
He was the Jiang Clan’s Saint Heir! With such a dignified status, if Xue Wei did not comply, then he should forget about vying for the Xue Family’s Saint Position!
Just at that moment.
Ye Qingchen’s figure slowly emerged from behind the door.
These past few days, apart from being on guard against Zheng Xiao, he had been eagerly awaiting Xiao Xiao’s return every day.
