Chapter 97

Although You Huowen was somewhat worried about Ye Chu's identity, seeing that Marquis Xu was willing to step forward to help him, that bit of worry vanished completely. Who was Marquis Xu? A person who had even met the emperor. Even if Ye Chu did have some status, so what?

Only You Dan's face turned pale when he saw Liu Shaoyang leave. Looking at the smug You Jinglun, he wished he could slap him again. Did he know what kind of trouble his actions would bring to the family?

Liu Bo and the rest of the caravan never expected the situation to escalate to this point, with even a person like Marquis Xu stepping forward to deal with Ye Chu. This time, Ye Chu was likely inescapable.

Bai Xuan glanced at Ye Chu and, seeing him still standing there carelessly, felt her heart calm down.

Ye Chu handed Yaoyao to Bai Xuan, his eyes involuntarily glancing at Bai Xuan's chest, which looked even fuller under Yaoyao's weight. He thought, "What a troublemaker." Originally, he wanted to arrive in the capital city low-key, but it seemed that wasn't possible this time. He only hoped that Ye Jingyun wouldn't hear the news.

"I don't want to play with you anymore. If I destroy the You residence myself, then today's matter will end here," Ye Chu said, looking at Marquis Xu and You Huowen.

The surroundings were deathly silent, everyone staring wide-eyed at Ye Chu, thinking this was the most impressive thing he said today! Did Ye Chu know who was standing in front of him?

You Huowen's face turned pale and then red: "Who do you think you are? Today, I'll break your bones first!"

"He's giving you a chance to destroy your own residence, which is giving your daughter some face. If it were me, I'd break your old bones too." A cold snort sounded, and Liu Shaoyang and his group came in again. This time, he wasn't alone; leading them was Pang Shao.

One by one, young masters and misses walked in, each dressed in fine clothing, with attendants and maids behind them. Clearly, they were all from prestigious families.

You Jinglun stared wide-eyed as the young masters and misses walked in, naming them one by one: "Lady Huang Lin, daughter of Marquis Huang; Master Mao Yun, son of Marquis Mao; the adopted daughter of Marquis Yan; the grandson of Marquis Li..."

You Jinglun named each person, standing there dumbfounded. Each of them had a status far surpassing the You family, and some even had better backgrounds than the Xu family.

After the group of young masters and misses from the capital city entered, they didn't even look at Marquis Xu, but gathered around Ye Chu, chattering.

"Hehe... Big Brother Ye Chu, you look even more handsome!"

"Right! Young Master Chu, we've prepared a welcome banquet, and you're only arriving now."

"Hehe, is this beautiful lady next to you your sister-in-law? If not, we'll make our move."

"..."

A group gathered around Ye Chu, chatting and laughing. Ye Chu casually replied to them: "Little Huang Lin, you're getting prettier. Hehe, is your breast enlargement technique working?"

"Mao Yun, how many young ladies have you harmed since you returned from the general's tomb?"

"Get lost, pretty women aren't for you; I've monopolized them."

"..."

Ye Chu laughed and scolded the group, tapping a few who were trying to get close to Bai Xuan. His actions were casual and intimate, clearly showing a deep relationship with the group.

This large group of young masters and misses from the capital city gathered around Ye Chu, leaving everyone stunned. Especially Liu Bo and the others from the caravan, who found it unbelievable.

"So, Ye Chu is really a big shot? But why would such a big shot come to the empire with a caravan? Shouldn't he have his own ship or guards?" Liu Bo couldn't understand, standing there in a daze.

Each of these young masters and misses was a notorious troublemaker in the capital city, with considerable reputations. Yet, they were all intimate with Ye Chu.

You Huowen's face had turned pale and ugly, his gaze involuntarily turning to Marquis Xu, who was also standing there in a daze!

Marquis Xu was indeed a figure in the capital city, but the families of these young masters and misses were all prestigious. Especially Pang Shao, whose significance he was very clear about!

Pang Shao was the heir of an ancient noble family in the capital city. No one knew how long the Pang family had been in the capital, but everyone knew that even the imperial family treated the Pang family with great respect. If they needed anything from the Pang family, they wouldn't issue an imperial edict but would request it through negotiation.

The Pang family was such a noble family, and Pang Shao's status could even rival that of a prince. Yet, even he couldn't be the center of attention in this group, as they all gathered around Ye Chu, indicating that Ye Chu held even higher status in their hearts.

"Who is he?" Marquis Xu finally became terrified. If these families joined forces against his Xu family, even ten Xu families wouldn't be enough.

Bai Xuan, listening to Ye Chu's conversation with the group, also understood their backgrounds. She found it unbelievable that the notorious figure from Yaocheng was so popular in the capital city.

Bai Xuan felt that Ye Chu had even more secrets, but she was also completely at ease. No wonder Ye Chu wasn't worried; he had such popularity in the capital city.

Liu Shaoyang looked at Marquis Xu and said with a smile, "I told you not to regret it, but you insisted on asking for trouble."

Marquis Xu's face turned ashen, and he wanted to slap Liu Shaoyang, but his reason told him not to. If he did, the Xu family would really be finished the next day.

Ye Chu also struggled out of the group's banter and said to You Huowen, "When I came to the capital city, I originally wanted to be low-key. But you insisted on making it high-profile. Fine! To celebrate my arrival in the capital city and our reunion, I'll destroy your residence as a gift."

"Alright!" Liu Shaoyang and the group became excited. Anyone who could walk with Pang Shao and Ye Chu was a troublemaker who loved chaos. With Ye Chu's words, the group didn't care about the consequences, dragging out heavy hammers and starting to smash the You residence.

The caravan members watched the houses collapse one by one, swallowing their saliva: Was this the way these troublemakers celebrated? Others celebrated with food and fun, but they celebrated by smashing houses! Indeed, these troublemakers were arrogant and tyrannical!

You Huowen watched his residence being destroyed, his face turning extremely dark, his fists tightly clenched. But he didn't dare to stop them; any one of them was someone he couldn't afford to offend.

Ye Chu watched the group of troublemakers swinging hammers and destroying everything, shaking his head and laughing. Although it had been over a year, these people were still the same!

"Didn't Marquis Xu say he wanted to break my limbs? Please go ahead!" Ye Chu said to Marquis Xu with a smile.

Marquis Xu turned his gaze away, pretending not to hear Ye Chu's words.

Ye Chu didn't argue with him and then looked at You Jinglun, saying, "I once warned you that inviting a god is easy, but sending it away is hard. But you thought I was joking. You said I wouldn't be able to leave this gate, but today, I really don't want to leave this gate."

These words made Marquis Xu and You Huowen's faces change dramatically. What did Ye Chu mean? Was he saying he wouldn't let them off?

Looking at the group of young masters and misses still swinging hammers, he thought that if he didn't send them away today, their families would come looking, and things would get even worse.

Even if You Huowen was unwilling, he had to step forward and slap You Jinglun hard, knocking him unconscious: "It was a misunderstanding. I was deceived by my son, which led to offending Young Master Ye. I am very sorry, please don't hold it against me."

Seeing You Huowen's fawning face, Ye Chu lost interest in playing and waved his hand, saying, "I need a residence in the capital city. You decide what to do."

After saying that, Ye Chu waved for Pang Shao to lead the group away.

Liu Bo and the others couldn't help but laugh at You Huowen's terrible expression: Having his residence destroyed and then having to give another one as compensation, You Huowen must have wanted to die.
