It would have been odd if Xuan Qi were not one of the You family’s targets, as they were the ones who had invited him to cooperate with the Transcendent Universe’s Bureau. With the recent changes, there was no reason for the You family to keep Xuan Qi around.
However, this reversal infuriated Xu Wuji, and he paid a visit to the Ziyou Realm and had a loud fight with You Fang, which left the You patriarch feeling quite helpless.
"You want us to come when you call, and you want us to leave when you say so? What do you think my Voidforce Universe’s Bureau is?
"You Fang, let me remind you that the Bureau is free to operate in any part of the Sixverse Universe, and there is no need for your consent. My Xuan Qi can come and go whenever he wishes, and he can arrest whoever he wants. If you dare to try to stop me, I will tear your You family to the ground!”
"I may not be able to do it on my own, and if even Xu Heng and Xu Leng’s support is not enough, I will ask Senior Xu Wuwei to step forward! I simply can't believe that you would push back like this and drive Xuan Qi away!”
"Just you wait. This matter isn’t over yet!"
…
Xu Wuji stood outside the Ziyou Realm, blocking anyone from entering or leaving as he proceeded to curse You Fang day and night. When Xu Wuji decided to take action, he was so shameless in his behavior that many people were shocked. In no way did he act like a peak powerhouse, and it was clear that he was absolutely furious.
Xu Heng and Xu Leng were also ready to visit the You family, and they only held themselves back because Lu Yin stopped them. If three Void Supremas arrived, the You family would suffer heavy losses.
Xu Wuji was just making a commotion, and at worst, he would embarrass the You family. However, that would not actually cause any real harm.
However, his actions were also noted, and while he was regarded as a good person, it was undoubtedly one of the oddest incidents in the entire year.
A peak powerhouse was blocking access to another peak expert’s home, and he was even cursing him day and night. This was something that had never happened before.
"This Xu Wuji is absolutely insane!" You Fang gritted his teeth in anger. If he hadn’t previously discussed things with Xuan Qi, the You patriarch would have been truly tempted to kill Xu Wuji with the bestowal art carriers.
You Lele scratched her head, causing flakes of white dandruff to fall like scattered snowflakes. "It looks like Xu Wuji was rather infamous before rising to power, but truthfully, this is better for us, as it makes everything look more real."
You Fang glared at his daughter, and she stopped talking. The man internally swore to himself that if Xuan Qi could not prove his trustworthiness, he would force him to pay the price.
The You family had actually been essentially locked away within their own territory and scolded, which was enough to enrage even their departed ancestors.
Even after returning to the Red Zone, Xu Wuji was still furious.
Boss Guan and the other team captains looked at the Bureau Director as though gazing at an enraged deity.
Lu Yin was not much different, as he felt like this was his first time seeing the Void Suprema.
Xu Wuji put his sunglasses on and said to Xuan Qi, "What, are you already calm about this? Don’t you want to go curse them with me? There’s still a lot more that can be said."
"Bureau Director, where did you learn to do this?" Lu Yin leaned forward to ask.
Xu Wuji raised his head high. "I taught myself."
Lu Yin was speechless. Where had this unfounded pride come from? Had someone complimented Xu Wuji for what he had done?
Although Xu Wuji had a roguish streak, Lu Yin quite liked the man. After Xu Wuji refused to show himself when Sovereign Ninth Lotus’s disciples had tried to take Cheng Feng away from the Bureau, Lu Yin had assumed that the man was only good at taking care of himself. This time, Lu Yin saw another side of the man. Xu Wuji had his own priorities, and he would protect his own as he felt proper.
Lu Yin now became completely convinced of Xu Wuji’s previous claim that, if Sovereign Ninth Lotus’s disciples had actually harmed anyone from the Voidforce Universe’s Bureau, he would not have let the matter slide.
Overall, Xu Wuji was a pretty good person.
Because of Xu Wuji’s bizarre behavior, the events of the Transcendent Universe quickly spread, and many people across the Sixverse Association started to pay attention to the universe’s internal competition between Bai Qian and He Ran.
Given the recent developments, He Ran needed to completely eliminate the threat that Bai Qian presented, and she also needed to humiliate the You family for their actions.
After half a month, Lu Yin received some information that left him optimistic; He Shu was secretly on his way to meet with Tu Ke.
…
On Fortune Star, after Xuan Qi left, the lockdown on Tu Ke and his family had been lifted.
The You family had not conducted even the slightest investigation into Tu Ke. Tu Ke publicly supported Bai Qian, which meant that he was technically allied with the You family. Thus, there was no way they would punish him.
As for the Bureau’s suspicions that Tu Ke was a spy, Lu Yin had fabricated the entire matter. There was truly no reason for the You family or He Ran to make any trouble for the man, so the entire matter was quickly forgotten.
"I understand that time is limited. I will set up another meeting with Bai Qian immediately," Tu Ke said as He Shu stared at him.
Shao Qingfeng stood to the side, listening.
Tu Ke grew solemn as he immediately reached out to Bai Qian.
The man soon put this communication crystal back down. "It worked. We have an appointment scheduled."
He Shu glanced over at Shao Qingfeng, who said, "That won’t be a problem."
He Shu felt his chest grow tight as he realized that Bai Qian would not be able to escape in the end. While it was difficult for him to accept this, he had no choice but to continue for the sake of his sister.
In fact, the only people that He Shu blamed was the You family. If not for them suddenly deciding to support Bai Qian, there would have been no need for He Ran to make such a decisive action.
"Let's go." He Shu did not look well.
Shao Qingfeng knew what was on the other man’s mind, so he remained silent.
Before leaving Fortune Star, Shao Qingfeng suddenly glanced over at Tu Ke and said, "Are you a spy?"
The accusation startled Tu Ke, and he looked over at He Shu, and quickly said, "Young Master, I am definitely not a spy! I swear it to you. Young Master, you can investigate me if you doubt me."
He Shu dismissively waved a hand. "Xuan Qi said all that just to cause trouble. There isn’t actually a spy."
Shao Qingfeng smiled. "Thank you very much."
With that, the two men finally left.
Tu Ke wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead. His support for Bai Qian had been nothing more than a public show so that he could help He Ran deal with Bai Qian. With He Ran on the verge of victory, Tu Ke refused to let his efforts go to waste just because of Xuan Qi.
Xuan Qi had really stirred up a lot of trouble. If not for him, the competition between Bai Qian and He Ran would have already been decided. Just what had happened in the You family?
After leaving Fortune Star, He Shu and Shao Qingfeng continued to travel together.
