"Who do you think you are to come to the Yan family and criticize them? What does the Yan family have to do with you?" Jiang Caixiu erupted in anger, fueled by humiliation. He resented Yan Danqiu for seemingly listening to Tian Liu, as if Jiang's possessions were on the verge of being taken away.
In Jiang Caixiu's view, Yan Danqiu was merely a hunter—a destitute youth with no promising future. In his eyes, someone of such low stature had no right to challenge him.
Ready to confront Jiang Caixiu if needed, Tian Liu stood up, conveying a clear message that he wouldn't tolerate any aggression.
Scholar Jiang, aware of the presence of a more formidable figure, refrained from any physical altercation. Pointing at Tian Liu, he asserted, "I'm looking for Danqiu. It's none of your business."
Adding, "Also, I'm not here to apply for a permanent job. I'm here to find Danqiu. I have something to discuss."
