"Xie Qiyi, the two individuals, Emperor Beichen and Prince Baili, are my friends. Yesterday's incident was initiated by Xie Honglang causing trouble first. There was nothing improper about the actions of Emperor Beichen and Prince Baili.
If you want to take advantage of your position and bully others, I won't stand by. Emperor Beichen and Prince Baili are honored guests of my Yuan family, and they are not to be trifled with at will," Yuan Hongyang's attitude was unusually firm, leaving no room for negotiation.
Currently, the Yuan family was the most powerful in Yuanwu City, and Yuan Hongyang's actions had gained the support of the Yuan family members. Xie Qiyi's bluster meant nothing to him.
Seeing Yuan Hongyang's resolute stance, Xie Qiyi was momentarily stunned. He didn't expect Yuan Hongyang to be so unyielding today, which was contrary to the usual style of the Yuan family.
"Yuan Hongyang, we are all people with clear eyes. Don't pretend to be so noble. If these two individuals are truly your friends, why didn't they directly stay at the Yuan family instead of a inn?
Even if you wanted to create a conflict with my Xie family, you should have found a smaller pretext!" Xie Qiyi sneered.
Listening to Xie Qiyi's words, Yuan Hongyang remained calm, "I did invite Emperor Beichen and Prince Baili earlier, but they didn't want to disturb us, so they chose to stay at the inn.
However, if you want to cause trouble for Emperor Beichen and Prince Baili, the Yuan family will not sit idly by."
Baili Hongzhuang and Emperor Beichen stood silently on the side. The onlookers could only perceive the conflict between Yuan Hongyang and Xie Qiyi, making it seem as if Baili Hongzhuang and Emperor Beichen had nothing to do with it.
In fact, Baili Hongzhuang also felt that way.
Xie Qiyi originally came to cause trouble for her and Beichen, but now the focus had completely shifted. She and Beichen had become mere spectators, which was quite amusing.
Xie Qiyi furrowed his brows. Yuan Hongyang's resolute attitude didn't seem fake, but in doing so, it would become even more difficult for him to deal with Emperor Beichen and Baili Hongzhuang.
"Yuan Hongyang, are you saying that you want to break ties with my Xie family?" Xie Qiyi's eyes turned sinister, his words filled with threats.
Emperor Beichen, however, spoke before Yuan Hongyang had a chance to respond.
"I'll give you two options: either leave now or never leave again."
As soon as Emperor Beichen spoke, his voice exuded a domineering kingly aura, spreading the momentum of an emperor ruling the world.
He stood there calmly, his gaze indifferent and disdainful, as if he had never regarded Xie Qiyi as a threat.
In fact, he truly didn't consider the Xie family a worthy opponent. When Xie Honglang caused trouble, he thought they were disturbing their meal and didn't want too much trouble, so he taught them a lesson and let them leave.
Now that Xie Qiyi clearly wanted to escalate the situation, he wouldn't be polite.
Since the other party didn't know how to appreciate kindness, he would deal with them directly.
Baili Hongzhuang shared the same thought as Emperor Beichen. They were both outsiders and didn't need to care about the complex local power dynamics of the Xie family.
Kill them, problem solved.
All eyes were focused on Emperor Beichen, his words leaving everyone in awe.
The woman in the white dress beside him continued to stroke the contract beast in her arms, serene and indifferent.
