"Hong Lang, Yuanwu City is our Xie family's territory. As the second young master of the Xie family, you've been bullied by two outsiders. It's really embarrassing for our Xie family," said Xie Honglang's elder brother, Xie Qiyi, with a mocking tone.
"Snow Dragon Grass is a highly valued medicinal herb of our family. You spent so much money to acquire it, and now you've lost it. How will you explain this to the family? Should I bring some people and help you reclaim our reputation? After all, our Xie family's belongings should not be taken away by others without reason."
Hearing the sarcasm in Xie Qiyi's words, Xie Honglang didn't pay much attention. He had long been resigned to his fate. His talent in cultivation was inferior to Xie Qiyi's, and his position within the family naturally couldn't compare.
Because of this, he had devoted much of his energy to pursuing Liu Xuerong for the benefit of the family. However, Xie Qiyi remained dissatisfied with him. Whenever he made a mistake, Xie Qiyi would kick him when he was down.
When Xie Qiyi mentioned seeking revenge, Xie Honglang's expression changed slightly.
"Brother, there's no need. The other party is very powerful. It's better not to provoke them. I'm the one who lost the Snow Dragon Grass, and no matter how the family punishes me, I will accept it."
Xie Honglang quickly spoke up. The man was able to effortlessly kill all of his subordinates, indicating his formidable strength. Moreover, upon reflection, he realized how foolish he had been at the time.
Just by looking at their demeanor, he could tell that those two were extraordinary. He shouldn't have offended them, but he didn't use his better judgment, which led to this trouble.
Fortunately, they didn't kill them all. He and Liu Xuerong returned safely.
Now, he only hoped to avoid encountering those two again, let alone reclaiming the lost face.
Seeing Xie Honglang's resigned look, Xie Qiyi's mocking expression intensified. He never expected Xie Honglang to be so submissive. It was truly laughable!
No wonder Xie Honglang couldn't compete with him. With his cowardly nature, what qualifications did he have to challenge him?
However, if he ever encountered those two, he would definitely retrieve the Snow Dragon Grass from their hands. After all, the Snow Dragon Grass was also of great importance to him.
"Your courage is just too small. No wonder you can only do small tasks for the family. If you become the successor of the Xie family, I'm afraid the family's reputation will be completely ruined because of you."
Shaking his head, Xie Qiyi's eyes revealed a sense of superiority as he slowly left Xie Honglang's room.
Seeing Xie Qiyi's departure, Xie Honglang couldn't help but show a helpless expression on his face.
Xie Qiyi had always been like this, and he couldn't help but feel a bit resentful. If it weren't for his inferior talent compared to Xie Qiyi's, he wouldn't willingly accept all this.
As expected, the family punished Xie Qiyi for his actions, and many people believed that Xie Qiyi's behavior had brought shame to the family's reputation.
Some people suggested going after those two individuals, as the Xie family's reputation couldn't be insulted like this. However, Xie Honglang kept explaining that the opponents were very powerful, and it wasn't necessary to offend them out of anger.
In the end, Xie Qiyi proposed that if those two individuals left Yuanwu City, it would be fine. But if they were still in Yuanwu City, they would have to reclaim their lost reputation.
