Chapter 525 A Cool Breeze Between the Legs_1

"The Ruan Family? What’s the Ruan Family?"

A cold snort came from outside the private room, followed by the sight of a young man dressed in splendid attire striding in.

The young man exuded an imposing air of nobility that made one realize at a glance that he was no ordinary person.

"Mr. Xuanyuan, you’re here."

Wu Yuanshan greeted the newcomer with a smile, his face full of fawning obsequiousness.

Xuanyuan?

Yin Tian’s eyebrows rose.

What a coincidence?

Seeing Mr. Xuanyuan, Ruan Gongdao also swallowed nervously, his heart filled with trepidation.

Although Yin Tian was from a top-tier family, the Xuanyuan Family was also a top-tier family in Central City, an established family that had held its status for over a hundred years.

He also knew he had reached a watershed.

Choose correctly, and all would rejoice, lifting the Ruan Family higher.

But should he choose wrongly, the Ruan Family might cease to exist.

"Young Master Ruan, don’t you recognize me?"

Mr. Xuanyuan looked at Ruan Gongdao with a smile.

Ruan Gongdao trembled, his head involuntarily bowing, "Mr. Xuanyuan Haofei, how could I not recognize you..."

"Then scram."

Xuanyuan Haofei spoke indifferently, "This matter doesn’t concern you. Don’t cause trouble for your Ruan Family."

Ruan Gongdao had an extremely ugly expression, unsure of what to do.

"Go ahead, leave this to me," Yin Tian said casually, sparing Ruan Gongdao any further discomfort.

Ruan Gongdao looked up, eyes full of gratitude toward Yin Tian, and then left the private room.

In the end, he didn’t dare to make a choice.

After all, a wrong decision meant not just his demise but the potential annihilation of the entire Ruan Family!

Xuanyuan Haofei turned to Yin Tian, "You’re quite stoic. I heard Lin Yunzhi stood up for you. What’s your relationship with him?"

"No relationship."

Yin Tian replied with an expressionless face.

"No relationship? That makes it less interesting."

Xuanyuan Haofei shook his head in resignation, "I was actually hoping to use this opportunity to show those loyal to the Lin Family what happens to those who ally with Lin Yunzhi. Since you say there’s no relationship, whom am I supposed to warn or intimidate?"

"Nonsense!"

Wu Yuanshan shouted and then looked at Xuanyuan Haofei with ingratiating eyes, "Mr. Xuanyuan, Lin Yunzhi personally said this kid is his guest and even crippled me for his sake. How can they possibly have no relationship?"

"Please don’t be fooled by this kid’s sweet words!"

Xuanyuan Haofei gave Wu Yuanshan a sidelong glance, then continued flatly, "Whether there’s a relationship or not, I am well aware. It’s not your place to speak."

Wu Yuanshan’s body shuddered, and he dared not say another word.

"How about this, I’ll give you a chance. Swear loyalty to me, and I’ll spare you. How about it?"

Xuanyuan Haofei looked at Yin Tian with a smile, believing he was being generous in offering Yin Tian an opportunity.

"Are all people from the Xuanyuan Family like you—having holes in their heads?"

Yin Tian replied helplessly.

Xuanyuan Haofei was taken aback, then a cold light flashed in his eyes, "Do you realize? You just missed your only chance."

Yin Tian just shrugged at Xuanyuan Haofei, utterly unconcerned about Xuanyuan Haofei’s threat.

"Hmph!"

Xuanyuan Haofei let out a cold snort and clapped his hands.

A middle-aged man walked in from outside the door.

"Uncle Lang, trouble you."

Xuanyuan Haofei said flatly.

Uncle Lang’s gaze fell on Yin Tian.

He stepped forward, about to make his move, but Yin Tian chuckled.

"What are you laughing at?"

Uncle Lang asked slowly.

Yin Tian reminded him in a most kind manner, "You might want to turn around and check on your young master?"

Uncle Lang was startled and looked back.

He saw that, unbeknownst to anyone, a black-clothed figure had appeared behind Xuanyuan Haofei, a gleaming dagger already pressed against his throat.

If not for Yin Tian’s warning, no one in the room would have noticed the arrival of the black-clothed figure—not even Xuanyuan Haofei himself!

"Make a move against me, or take your young master and scram. Choose for yourself," Yin Tian said, looking confident and unafraid.

Uncle Lang looked somewhat displeased.

With the life of his young master in someone else’s control, he truly had no choice!

"Release my young master, and we’ll leave," Uncle Lang said authoritatively.

Yin Tian nodded in satisfaction.

The black-clothed figure immediately retracted the dagger.

Xuanyuan Haofei quickly retreated to Uncle Lang’s side, visibly shaken.

Uncle Lang said nothing further and led Xuanyuan Haofei away from the scene.

However, Xuanyuan Haofei’s resentful gaze before leaving clearly indicated that this was far from over!

Shortly, Xuanyuan Haofei and Uncle Lang left.

However, Wu Yuanshan was left behind.

He stared blankly at Yin Tian, feeling a chill all over, with a distinct coldness below the waist...

Yin Tian ignored Wu Yuanshan and turned to the black-clothed man, "Did Mr. Lin send you?"

He knew the man was an assassin from Shadow Hall, but to avoid revealing his own identity, he intentionally posed the question.

The black-clothed man was slightly taken aback, then nodded.

"Yes, Mr. Lin sent me."
