Chapter 913: That girl is quite wild

~8 min read 1,431 words

"Third Young Master..."

It actually has something to do with that imposter...

Xu Tian frowned; this situation was becoming a bit troublesome.

He worried that the imposter was deliberately sowing discord between Yun Shuying and the head of the Yun family, as well as Madam Yun.

"The relationship between the eldest daughter and the youngest son isn't good..." Zhong Yu muttered again. "Do you think the Yun family favors boys over girls and leans toward the youngest son, so Yun Shuying has a problem with it? I reckon the family fortune will all go to the youngest son in the end..."

Many concepts on Wuji Island are very traditional, but there is one point that differs from other countries in the world: it is perfectly normal for women here to inherit the family business. As long as they have the ability, they will absolutely not be criticized.

Although the phenomenon of favoring boys over girls exists, once a woman is strong enough, she will no longer be affected by gossip.

For example, Yue Moli, Lu Qianqian, and others are all able to inherit the family business in a legitimate manner.

Zhong Yu's words reminded Xu Tian that the current Yun Mufeng is, after all, an imposter.

He could impersonate him, so it's impossible that he has no ulterior motives. Small favors aren't worth him taking such a risk; naturally, Yun Mufeng couldn't possibly accept splitting the family fortune with Yun Shuying.

If his ultimate goal is the Yun family, then he will inevitably target Yun Shuying.

There is an even more important point: judging by Yun Mufeng's attitude toward Yun Hexian, he was arranged to be brought in by Yun Hexian and is being used by him.

Why would Yun Hexian find someone to impersonate him?

That is because he is only an adopted son of the Yun family. No matter how outstanding he is, as long as Yun Shuying and Yun Mufeng are around, the family fortune will never fall into his hands in the end.

But now that he is manipulating an imposter to enter the Yun family, everything is different.

Yun Mufeng only needs to defeat Yun Shuying to inherit the Yun family business.

As for Yun Moting, he is still too young. Even if Madam Yun and Mr. Yun intend to groom him, he would have to wait until Yun Mufeng retires to inherit the family business.

So, will Yun Hexian and the imposter Yun Mufeng make a move against Yun Shuying for the sake of the family fortune?

Xu Tian guessed that they certainly would. Even if they wouldn't kill Yun Shuying, they would sow discord and drive Yun Shuying out of the Yun family.

Given Yun Shuying's current relationship with her father and mother, it is too easy to create conflict.

In terms of martial arts, Yun Shuying might not have many opponents on the entire Wuji Island, but as for her emotional intelligence, I'm afraid even Yun Moting could crush her.

It seems he should also find an opportunity to remind Yun Shuying not to foolishly fall for the imposter's schemes.

Soon, the time agreed upon with the Thorn Emperor arrived.

Xu Tian went out alone and arrived at the entrance of a bar in the Western District.

This bar was different; it was far from the bustling bar street and was opened in an old residential area.

It was unclear what the background of the bar owner was; his shop had been open for so long, yet no one had ever complained.

Xu Tian looked up at the sign above the bar.

A plaque with the three characters "Heavenly Island" written in ancient cursive script hung in the center, always giving an indescribable sense of incongruity.

Xu Tian walked into the bar, and a wave of tobacco smoke hit him. Other than the exterior decoration being different from those nightclubs filled with neon signs, it was no different from an ordinary bar.

After eight o'clock in the evening, it was the most boisterous time for every bar. The manic rock musicians on the stage, the men and women twisting to their hearts' content on the dance floor, and the guests clinking glasses and putting arms around each other's shoulders in the booths pushed the atmosphere inside to one climax after another.

Xu Tian looked around and didn't find a familiar figure, so he simply found a low-key spot to sit down.

There were still more than ten minutes until the agreed time, so Xu Tian wasn't in a hurry. He took out his phone and scrolled through the forum casually, his gaze occasionally looking toward the entrance.

At eight-thirty, the copper bell at the entrance gave a crisp sound, and a familiar figure wearing a black suit skirt walked in.

The woman was still dressed in her usual attire, looking more like she was going to attend a summit of heads of state rather than coming to a bar to relax.

However, even though her attire was out of place with the bar's atmosphere, the exquisite face half-hidden beneath the black veil still drew amazed looks from the bar's guests.

Xu Tian had just raised his hand, preparing to greet the Thorn Emperor, when he saw a youth dressed like a flamboyant rich second-generation, holding a glass of foreign liquor, walking toward the entrance with a staggering gait.

"Beauty, would you do me the honor of having a drink with me?" The youth said while leaning toward the Thorn Emperor, even wanting to take the opportunity to reach out and wrap his arm around her slender waist.

The woman's footsteps paused. She stood on the spot, staring coldly at the youth in front of her, streaks of cold light flashing in her pure, deep black eyes.

The youth's hand froze in mid-air for a moment. He retreated half a step, stimulated by the coldness that hit him, but a strong sense of interest clearly appeared in his eyes.

This woman has personality!

Xu Tian's expression darkened slightly. He had long known that Tang Bingyan had an outstanding appearance and that there were no shortage of people who would covet her. However, she had only just entered a few minutes ago and had already attracted a lecher; it really didn't put one at ease.

The Thorn Emperor rarely appeared in public. Except for a few gang bosses, others couldn't recognize her identity at all.

This youth dressed as a rich second-generation only thought she was the daughter of some family, which was why he dared to be so unscrupulous.

Xu Tian felt that this youth looked familiar. He frowned and recalled for a while, suddenly realizing that the other party was a small leader of a branch of the Azure Wolf Hall. This person had a good family background, and after becoming a small leader, he had achieved a leap in social class.

"You bastard, take your dirty hands off!" Before the youth could touch the Thorn Emperor, Zeng Rou, who was beside her, shouted sharply and slapped his hand away.

"Heh, that girl is quite wild?" The youth looked Zeng Rou up and down and narrowed his eyes slightly. "It's a pity, I don't like women with single eyelids, otherwise..."

"You're courting death!" Zeng Rou had a violent temper. Without a word, she swung her fist and smashed it toward the youth.

The guests in the bar saw this and broke into a cold sweat for Zeng Rou.

Those who frequented this bar often knew the youth and knew his identity: Xiao Shen, a small leader of the Azure Wolf Hall branch.

Neither the Azure Wolf Hall nor Xiao Shen were people to be trifled with.

And Zeng Rou had been full of resentment because of Xu Tian recently, with nowhere to vent. Now that she saw Xiao Shen actively bumping into her, she didn't hold back at all, using a killing move as soon as she attacked.

Xiao Shen nimbly dodged Zeng Rou's attack, and his eyes also became sharp.

"I don't hit women, but since you don't know what's good for you, don't blame me for being impolite!"

After saying that, he also swung his fist and fought with Zeng Rou.

However, he didn't take Zeng Rou seriously. If he couldn't even beat a woman, he wouldn't need to hang around the Azure Wolf Hall anymore.

It's just a pity that Zeng Rou was no ordinary woman. As the most capable subordinate beside the Thorn Emperor, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say her strength was unfathomable. ===== CHAPTER 914 =====
