Chapter 697 (2/2)

“Alright!”

News of this music spread like wildfire across Dragon City. Over the next few days, many people assembled near Wanhua Building to listen from the outside. They were all looking forward to the day Wanhua Building opened so they could watch the performance live.

Just because of this, when the Wanhua Building opened later, the popularity of Wanhua Building reached shocking levels.

Over the next few days, Ye Lang remained inside. Ye Lanyu and the seventh princess visited several times to check on him but they did not stay. It was still a brothel after all.

They tried to take the little princess away too, thinking it was inappropriate. However, she stuck to Ye Lang stubbornly. As long as he was there, she would stay in the dirtiest of places.

Eventually, they gave up.

Princess Longji didn’t visit, she was busy with the three major clans.

The three major clans had a huge headache trying to calm this matter down. It was more simple for Liu and Wei clans since they hadn’t participated that much and hence didn’t suffer as many losses.

It was different for the Ximen clan. The brightest star of their next generation had been murdered, then they were exposed as the hidden powers behind Wanhua Building.

“Revenge? I’d like it too but can we? We were the ones in the wrong, and the person who killed Qing cannot be touched- forget about Vermilion Bird- no one in this world would dare touch him.”

This was what the patriarch of the Ximen clan said to his son frustratingly.

The patriarch was Ximen Qing’s grandfather, his son was Ximen Qing’s father. As a father, he had gone insane when he found that his son had been killed. He had tried to go kill Ye Lang himself several times before they stopped him.

With the current situation, the Ximen clan wasn’t in the position to take revenge. Worse, they were expecting punishment.

“So is this the end?”

“You wish, at least we wouldn’t have to be this frustrated. But would they be willing to let this go? Princess Longji has always been aggressive, she will definitely come to us with her men and make us pay for what happened!” said the Ximen patriarch.

“Her cousin killed my son, what right does she have to make us pay!”

“Don’t you understand? We’re in the wrong here, we were the ones who attacked first and tried to kill her cousin. Her cousin killed him in self-defense, this’ll be the reason everyone accepts. He has such an impressive name here. If you want to touch him, you have to dissociate yourself from your clan and be of at least Tian Heavenly Level or you’ll bring disaster to the clan!” sighed the patriarch.

“Revenge? The most important thing is to take Wanhua Building back! We poured in so many resources for that place, now some useless kid has taken it from us! It’s all your son’s fault, why did Ximen Qing visit a place like that? And he even sold the place!” added the Ximen patriarch’s other son. From his tone, it seemed like he didn’t like Ximen Qing.

“You…”

“Stop it! We won’t get Wanhua Building back, Princess Longji would never hand over such a prize. We will just have to accept our losses, even if we put in a lot of effort.” The Ximen patriarch shook his head. He had a more mature outlook, also a more open mind.
