This Taoist Master is too Frivolous-Chapter 378 - 260: Strike First to Gain the Upper Hand!

Chapter 378: Chapter 260: Strike First to Gain the Upper Hand!

Xu Yang publicly hurting two members of the Longxi Li family wasn’t a big issue.

As Xu Yang said, this was his territory.

It was the Longxi Li family who was in the wrong first by trying to kidnap people on Xu Yang’s turf.

After all, Xu Yang is the current sect leader of the Jingming Sect, and a “Supreme Sage” at the Divine Transcendence Realm—even though he is very young, not even 23 years old, he is still on the same level as the Longxi Li family’s leader in terms of strength and status.

One Li family Innate Grandmaster and a few Li family juniors dared to talk big in front of Xu Yang, so it’s only right that they got beaten!

Everyone in the martial world occasionally has conflicts, so some minor friction is normal.

Of course.

The most important thing is that Xu Yang’s strength is strong enough!

However, it’s different if he exposed the true purpose of Longxi Li family’s recruitment of Sun Yuting in front of the media!

Chen Jingzhou, Feng Zhaoqing, and Luan Haiping all stepped forward to dissuade him.

With their abilities, it would not be difficult to have the media present delete the footage just taken.

But Xu Yang shook his head: “If the Longxi Li family dares to do it, why can’t I say it? For families like these, which have passed down for far too long… many things have already decayed. With the arrival of a new era, it’s time to change the old ways!”

Feng Zhaoqing and Chen Jingzhou’s faces changed drastically!

If Xu Yang’s previous statement had just offended the Longxi Li family, now…

Undoubtedly, he angered all the major families!

Leaving a remark, Xu Yang said, “Alright, everyone disperse. Those who need to take the test, take it. Those who need to go home and have dinner, have dinner…”

After the order on the training field was restored, Xu Yang returned to his office.

While Feng Zhaoqing, Chen Jingzhou, and Luan Haiping exchanged glances, each bitterly shook their heads.

Since Xu Yang didn’t let them delete the recent interview footage, they naturally wouldn’t take matters into their own hands. The three of them could only return to the hall to continue hosting the test.

……

In the director’s office.

After drawing talismans until 5 o’clock, Xu Yang got up on time, closed the office door, and leisurely returned home.

Going to work.

From nine to five, that’s how it is.

At home.

Xu Yang’s wife was busy making dumplings in the dining room, and even Tu Xiaoyu had come to help.

Since her transformation hasn’t even been half a month, her first time learning to make dumplings is very clumsy. Her face was covered in flour, and she focused carefully on learning with her rabbit ears drooping.

“Husband, are you back?”

Liu Shishi looked up at Xu Yang and said, “There’s some herbal tea on the coffee table. You can wash your hands and rest for a while, the dumplings will be ready soon.”

Sitting on the sofa, Xu Yang drank the refreshing herbal tea, but his thoughts were in turmoil.

He wondered if the old man had received the weapons he had forged for him.

If he did receive them, why hasn’t he sent Xu Yang a dream?

Could it be…

Xu Yang and Elder Wang misjudged? The old man is not ruling a mountain in the underworld but was caught and forced to mine?

“Um…”

“I don’t know if they need to mine in the Underworld Palace. I remember reading in many novels before that after ascending to the immortal and divine realms, they had to mine for many years to gain legal status.”

Soon.

The dumplings were ready.

After eating the dumplings, the family played poker together, happily and harmoniously.

Tu Xiaoyu stood behind Xu Yang, watching curiously.

Xu Yang said, “Xiao Yu, come on, play together.”

“No, no, no!”

Xiao Yu quickly waved her hands and said, “Master, I am a servant girl, how can I play games with you?”

“Why not?”

Xu Yang smiled, “Do you no longer listen to your master’s words? Moreover, our family doesn’t have so many rules.”

Just as he was about to get Tu Xiaoyu to play poker with them, the doorbell rang.

Tu Xiaoyu got up to open the door…

As soon as the door opened, her aura burst out, and she scolded, “Which monster dares to come to my master’s house and make trouble?”

Outside the door.

Little Miao, the cat-eared girl, looked at Xiaoyu with rabbit ears on her head and glanced at Xu Yang and the others in the living room through the gap. She blinked and said, “You are Master Xu’s new wife, right? Hello, my name is Xiaomiao. I came to invite Master Xu and his sisters to come to my house for dinner.”

Inside the room.

Xu Yang’s voice came, “Xiaomiao is here? Xiaoyu, let her come in.”

Only then did Tu Xiaoyu realize that this feline spirit…

Knows the master!

Her face reddened, and she said, “No, no, no… you misunderstood. I am the master’s servant girl.”

“A servant girl or a wife is the same to me.”

Xiaomiao jokingly said.

She entered the room and said, “Master Xu, sisters, my older sister invited you guys to come over for dinner.”

Xu Yang was surprised, “What’s going on? How did your sister suddenly think of inviting us to dinner?”

Xiaomiao said, “Today, my sister and I moved to a new house. According to your human customs, we’re having a housewarming dinner, so my sister prepared some home-cooked dishes at home, and I hope Master Xu and the sisters will join us.”

“Oh?”

“Did you buy the house?”

Yue Niang had been living in a haunted house before because she was an “illegal immigrant.”

Now that she has become the “Land Deity,” her “illegal immigrant” status has been resolved, and Xu Yang has also helped her with her “human” identity. She has now bought a house and moved out of the underground.

Xu Yang asked, “Where is the house?”

Xiaomiao pointed out and said, “It’s in this community, Building 23.”

Hearing this, the girls were very happy.

They said that they would all be neighbors in the future and that they could visit each other more often.

Xu Yang then said, “Okay, Xiaomiao, go back and tell Yue Niang that we’ll be right there.”

Since it was a housewarming dinner invitation, they couldn’t go empty-handed.

Xu Yang went out and bought some gifts at the supermarket outside. When he came back, he found that a small road in the community was being repaired, with a pile of bricks beside it. He picked up three bricks, used the “Turning Stone into Gold” divine power, and turned the three bricks into gold bars, tucking them into the gift box.

Upon returning home, Xu Yang brought all the ladies to Villa 23.

Just like Xu Yang’s house.

Yue Niang also bought a three-story standalone house with an independent courtyard.

In the courtyard, many plants and flowers were planted, and a fish pond was also created, with a few large red carps raised inside.

Next to the fish pond was a large pavilion.

In the middle of the pavilion was a marble round table.

By now, it was evening, Yue Niang had turned on the lights and was busy under the pavilion. In the center of the round table was a mandarin duck pot, boiling the based ingredients while the table was filled with various dishes.

“Master Xu.”

“Ladies!”

Upon seeing Xu Yang and the others arriving, Yue Niang came forward and said, “Welcome to my house as guests.”

Xu Yang handed over the gifts and said, “Congratulations on moving into your new house, Yue Niang.”

The other ladies also congratulated her one after another.

After exchanging pleasantries, Yue Niang invited everyone to the pavilion and said, “I didn’t reserve a banquet table, but instead prepared a few home-cooked dishes and hotpot at home. I hope you all won’t mind…”

Everyone ate and drank, chatted, and laughed until they returned home at 12:00 midnight.

At this moment.

The news of Xu Yang injuring Li Chengqian during the daytime had already started to spread online, including Xu Yang’s interview with the media, exposing the true face of Li Clan of Longxi and publicly uttering the words, “Ancient families like Li Clan of Longxi have already become corrupt, and it’s time for a new era to bring about change.”

Nowadays, Xu Yang was a big hit on the internet, and any news related to him was highly sought after!

This news was quickly discovered by the Li Clan.

“Bastards!”

“Bastards!”

Ganshire Province.

Lintao County.

This was the ancestral land of the Li Clan of Longxi. Although the Li Clan had now spread out across the country, every year when it was time to pay homage to their ancestors, the Li Clan’s descendants from all over the country would return to the “Li Manor” in Lintao.

At this moment.

Inside Li Manor.

An elderly man angrily smashed a vase!

The housekeeper on the side felt a pang of heartache!

With the Li Manor’s long-standing heritage… every brick and tile in the courtyard were considered “cultural relics,” let alone the family head’s own ornaments?

That vase was an authentic Song dynasty official kiln black glaze! freewēbnoveℓ.com

However, the old man was currently angry.

Since it was smashed, it’s smashed.

They could just move a few more from the storage later!

For the Li Clan of Longxi, with its long history, these would-be “collector’s items” weren’t a big deal.

“My lord, please calm down.”

After the elderly man had let off enough steam, the housekeeper came forward and said, “Xu Yang is being overconfident. Why should you care about what he thinks, my lord?”

Only then did the old man gradually calm down.

He sat down on the yellow pear wood armchair, and the housekeeper immediately came forward to pour him a cup of tea.

After taking a sip of tea, the old man said, “Without Sun Yuting, we still have Wang Yuting, Ma Yuting, He Yuting… Li Clan has been preparing for this for a long time, and we have plenty of excellent furnace tripods. Losing one Sun Yuting is nothing.”

“But that Xu Yang, just a youngster, dared to publicly criticize our Li Clan in front of the media… Who gave him the courage?”

This old man was the head of the Li Clan, named Li Yifeng.

A peak existence in Martial Arts Heavenly Being Realm, only a step away from the Martial Arts Celestial Phenomenon Realm.

He put down the teacup and said, “You go and contact K organization, let them send someone to deal with Xu Yang.”

“This…”

The housekeeper smiled bitterly and said, “My lord, after the lesson of Asura Sect, none of the remaining underground forces dare to take Xu Yang’s request. However, I think we can contact other clans… Xu Yang looks down on everyone, and publicly says that our ancient families are already decayed. Presumably, the other clans cannot tolerate him either.”

Don’t underestimate the tolerance of these ancient families.

But don’t overestimate their tolerance either.

If the person who said this was just an ordinary martial artist, these ancient families would probably hear it as a joke… because an ordinary martial artist, forever, would hardly pose any threat to them!

But the one who said this was Xu Yang!

With his own power, Xu Yang stirred up winds and clouds, causing troubles for the Lu Shan Sect. His strength was well known, his potential boundless, and he was particularly close to Wang Hou!

As for Wang Hou, he despised these ancient families by nature.

However, he was alone and knew that it was difficult for one man to fight against so many, so many things didn’t go to extremes.

But if there were one more Xu Yang…

Once he had grown up and teamed up with Wang Hou, even the ancestors of the major families might be in trouble.

That very night, Li Yifeng held a video conference with the heads of other major families.

The morning of August 20th.

Li Clan of Longxi held another press conference.

At the press conference, Li Yifeng personally appeared and accepted an interview with the media, indirectly condemning Xu Yang’s wrongdoings and publicly mentioning the matter of him raising female ghosts… It’s very likely that they’ve already made plans to deal with him!”

“What?”

Xu Yang was startled, then sat silently in his chair.

Li Clan…

Going to deal with him?

In his mind, scenes from when he was targeted by the Asura Sect came to him one after another. During that time, Xu Yang had been living in fear, always worried about being attacked by the Asura Sect. Now, hearing that the Li Clan was going to deal with him and, very likely, had already contacted other families, how could Xu Yang not panic?

“No way!”

“I can’t just sit here waiting for death… I have to fight back!”

“I have to…”

“Strike first!”
