For a moment, silence hung between them. Xiao Yunlong continued, "What about you two? Don't you think you deserve to die?"
Though his words were laced with hostility, Xiao Yunlong spoke with a casual air, as if chatting with old friends.
Baili Liuyun chuckled again, "Yunlong, you've been through the wringer in society now. You're no longer the naive, innocent student you once were. You should know by now that in this world, there's no such thing as 'should' or 'should not,' nor is there any right or wrong!"
As he spoke, Baili Liuyun raised his fist and grinned playfully, "In this society, it's more about this? Whoever's 'this' is bigger and harder is right. Otherwise, they're wrong, they deserve to die. Understand?"
"I understand. So it's all about fists!" Xiao Yunlong nodded with a smile.
"That's right, Brother Xiao. Don't think you can run rampant in Chuan City just because you wiped out the Zhao family. As your former classmate and friend, I'll give you a piece of advice: leave Chuan City as soon as possible, lest the Xiao family's lineage be completely severed!"
Baili Liuyun sighed and offered his advice, appearing to be earnest and concerned.
Even Ouyang Nana chimed in, "Xiao Yunlong, the waters in Chuan City are deep now. It's far more complicated than you imagine. Regardless, what happened back then has happened. You've already avenged yourself by destroying the Zhao family. Let the past be the past. Don't let hatred blind you!"
Xiao Yunlong suddenly put down his chopsticks, looked up at them, and said with a straight face, "I'm sorry, but while you can easily move past what happened back then, I cannot. As the saying goes, 'Do not advise kindness without having experienced hardship yourself.' If you've come to persuade me, you can shut up now!"
"Alright, we've said all we can. Whether you accept it is up to you. However, for drugging you back then, I do apologize, out of our former classmate friendship!"
Ouyang Nana said as she stood up. Baili Liuyun, seeing this, also rose.
In fact, from the moment they appeared until they sat down to talk, the woman had maintained an arrogant, condescending demeanor.
This showed that while she outwardly claimed to be acting for his own good, she looked down on Xiao Yunlong from the bottom of her heart.
"You can apologize, but I'm sorry, I don't accept it!" Xiao Yunlong chuckled, showing no intention of standing up to see them off.
Ouyang Nana pouted, her eyes filled with even more mockery and disdain.
Baili Liuyun suddenly said, "Almost forgot, we came specifically to give you a wedding invitation. Putting family matters aside, the three of us were classmates back then. And if it weren't for you, Nana and I probably wouldn't have ended up together. We're getting married in three days. We hope you can come and witness our happiness!"
As he spoke, Baili Liuyun took a large red wedding invitation from his bag and handed it over.
Xiao Yunlong took it, glanced at it, and said with a smile, "In three days, I will definitely attend. I'll also prepare a grand gift for you then!"
"That would be great. Speaking of which, Yunlong, given our friendship back then, if you can let go of past grievances, we might become friends in the future!"
Baili Liuyun once again chuckled habitually, his laughter filled with arrogance and self-satisfaction.
Even Ouyang Nana slightly raised her fair chin, scrutinizing Xiao Yunlong from a superior perspective. Perhaps she felt that since they had extended an olive branch, this stray dog of the Xiao family wouldn't dare to be ungrateful.
Xiao Yunlong, however, couldn't be bothered to respond to this honey-tongued fellow. If it weren't for his glib tongue back then, how could he have fallen for it?
"Right, as they say, it's impolite not to reciprocate. You treated me to something unforgettable back then, so today, I must treat you to something special!"
Xiao Yunlong suddenly said with a smile.
"Something special? While we can't claim to have tasted all the delicacies in the world over the years, we're confident we've tried most of the world's fine foods."
Baili Liuyun chuckled, his laughter brimming with pride and smugness.
"Don't worry, I guarantee you've never tasted this before!"
After speaking, Xiao Yunlong turned to Tu Fu and Pan Zhaofeng and waved his hand, "Take them to the restroom and make sure they taste the delicacy inside!"
By this point, even an idiot would understand what was meant. Moreover, Baili Liuyun and Ouyang Nana were not stupid; on the contrary, they were quite intelligent.
Their expressions instantly darkened. Ouyang Nana trembled with anger and roared, "Xiao Yunlong, you are outrageous! We came with good intentions to persuade you and even spare your dog's life, yet you are so ungrateful!"
Baili Liuyun, however, sneered mockingly, "Xiao Yunlong, I heard yesterday that you brought several experts back this time. Did you really think I'd be so foolish as to come here unprepared?"
As he spoke, he pointed to the four middle-aged men in green robes behind him and said mockingly, "I won't hide it from you, they are all martial arts experts. Try to make a move today, and I guarantee I won't kill you!"
Xiao Yunlong smiled and shook his head, "Almost forgot, Young Master Baili, you speak of fists. Since that's the case, Tu Fu, Zhaofeng, go up and show him how hard your fists are!"
Tu Fu and Pan Zhaofeng didn't say a word, flashing forward immediately.
"Truly ungrateful! Since that's the case, I'll show you the way. You four, go and teach them a lesson with your fists!"
Baili Liuyun gritted his teeth and shouted coldly, waving his hand. The four middle-aged men in green robes moved, drawing their long swords as they charged forward with a clang.
Xiao Yunlong didn't even glance at the four men in green, remaining seated as steadfast as ever. In fact, he had already seen that these four men in green were all martial arts masters at the half-step Huajin realm. They were far from being a match for him.
However, the four men wore identical green robes, and their long swords were also of the same style. It seemed they belonged to a certain faction, organization, or sect.
As Baili Liuyun and Ouyang Nana retreated to the side, the two sides clashed.
There were no surprises in the outcome. The moment they made contact, two of the men in green were sent flying by Tu Fu's fists.
Then, Tu Fu unleashed another punch. He was a peerless expert at the Kaiqiao Martial King realm. Even a true Huajin Grandmaster couldn't withstand this punch, let alone this quasi-Grandmaster in green.
With a bang, the man was sent flying, crashing heavily onto the table. Fortunately, the table was of excellent quality and remained intact. However, more than half of the man's ribs were broken, and he lay there groaning in agony.
At the same time, Pan Zhaofeng also sent the remaining man in green flying with a single punch.
Seeing this, Baili Liuyun and Ouyang Nana were stunned. Only then did they realize something was wrong. They recalled that when they left home this morning, their elders had repeatedly warned them that the brat named Xiao, who could wipe out the Zhao family overnight, was definitely not simple upon his return.
However, the proud and self-important Young Master Baili simply didn't believe it. He genuinely didn't believe Xiao Yunlong could compare to him. Therefore, after breakfast, he excitedly brought his fiancée, Ouyang Nana, to confront him.
He even planned to invite Xiao Yunlong to their wedding to humiliate him!
But Baili Liuyun never expected that after bringing four expert guards, he would be so utterly defeated!
Xiao Yunlong stood up, walked over to him, and asked calmly, "How was it? Were their fists hard enough?"
Baili Liuyun tried to speak, but his throat felt as if it were blocked by something, rendering him speechless.
"Take them to the restroom!" Xiao Yunlong said, waving his hand.
Tu Fu didn't hesitate, grabbing Baili Liuyun and dragging him towards the nearby restroom. Pan Zhaofeng, meanwhile, seized Ouyang Nana.
"Let go of me! You're making us eat shit and drink urine! Xiao Yunlong, you bastard, you're utterly depraved and inhumane!" Ouyang Nana roared, struggling frantically.
Baili Liuyun also roared, "Xiao Yunlong, be sensible and let us go, or my Baili family and the Ouyang family will never forgive you! You will surely die!"
Xiao Yunlong suddenly slapped his forehead and said with a smile, "Almost forgot, remember to take photos with your phones later and post them online. I believe the people of Chuan City will enjoy it!"
After saying this, he turned and left without looking back.
As for Baili Liuyun and Ouyang Nana, who continued to roar and rage, they were forcibly dragged into the restroom and subsequently tasted something special they had never experienced in their lives.
Just as Xiao Yunlong had said, what they tasted in the restroom that day would be a memory for the rest of their lives, albeit a nightmarish one!
Of course, their lives would not last much longer. From the moment Xiao Yunlong returned, their fate was already sealed!
