"The jade is mine."

The voice wasn't loud, but it was just enough for Professor Yang and Shi Xiaoqing to hear.

Only then did Shi Xiaoqing notice Li Xiaoyao, who was standing beside Professor Yang.

Shi Xiaoqing asked, "Who is this?"

Professor Yang said indifferently, "He and I were both interested in this piece of jade. He offered three thousand, I offered four thousand, but it seems like he's intent on a forced sale now."

Shi Xiaoqing uttered an "Oh," then turned to look at Li Xiaoyao, his face full of contempt, "Kid, this is Chaotian Palace. You can't buy things like this here. If you know what's good for you, you'll take your money and scram."

Li Xiaoyao's eyes were cold as ice, there would always be people in this world who spout nonsense without understanding the situation.

"Put the jade down, then disappear from my sight."

Li Xiaoyao didn't want to cause trouble, after all, harmony brought wealth, and he had found an ancient jade today, which put him in a great mood. Therefore, he decided to let these two off the hook.

However, it was clear that Shi Xiaoqing and Professor Yang didn't appreciate his gesture. In their eyes, Li Xiaoyao's words just now were an outright insult.

Shi Xiaoqing smirked sarcastically at Li Xiaoyao, "Kid, you've got guts, daring to say that to me."

Li Xiaoyao frowned and said, "Ungrateful."

"Mr. Li."

Xiao Ya's voice rang out from behind. She had just finished her work and called Li Xiaoyao, but he hadn't been answering his phone. So, Xiao Ya searched for him on the streets, fortunately, it didn't take long to find him.

However, when she found Li Xiaoyao, it appeared something had occurred.

The actions of Shi Xiaoqing and Professor Yang had all been witnessed by Xiao Ya. She called out in a hurry and quickly approached when she saw Li Xiaoyao about to take action.

"Xiao Ya, what a coincidence to run into you here," Shi Xiaoqing said with feigned surprise upon seeing Xiao Ya.

Professor Yang also saw Xiao Ya, his eyes immediately flashing a wolf-like green light.

Xiao Ya kept a stern face and said, "Shi Xiaoqing, apologize to Mr. Li this instant."

Shi Xiaoqing was taken aback and asked, "Mr. Li? What Mr. Li?"

Xiao Ya huffed and said apologetically to Li Xiaoyao, "Mr. Li, I'm sorry. If it weren't for me today, you wouldn't be here..."

Li Xiaoyao raised his hand to interrupt her, "This matter has nothing to do with you. Since you know them, let's forget about what just happened."

Then, looking at Shi Xiaoqing, "Now, you can roll out."

Shi Xiaoqing looked puzzled, but when he heard Li Xiaoyao tell him to scram, he became enraged and cursed, "Who do you think you're pretending to be? What are you in front of me, posing? And telling me to scram? Bullshit! You really think you're someone important! I'm telling you, today, for Xiao Ya's sake, I won't hit you!"

Li Xiaoyao had intended to give face to Xiao Ya and let go of the earlier incident, but the other party was relentless.

For such an ignorant person, Li Xiaoyao only had one way to deal with him, and that was to fight!

"Smack!"

A crisp slap rang out, Shi Xiaoqing's body turned three full circles on the spot, and he fell to the ground, his right cheek swelling up high, half of his teeth flying out of his mouth.

Shi Xiaoqing was stunned by the slap, and Professor Yang also stood frozen in place. Coming back to his senses, he gripped the ancient jade tightly and said, "What are you trying to do? I'll have you know, this is a society governed by laws, you can't just hit people..."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Li Xiaoyao had already been displeased with this so-called Professor Yang. He kicked him to the ground, took back the ancient jade, and then turned to the stupefied Xiao Ya, "Let's go."

"Ah... Oh, okay!"

Xiao Ya quickly followed behind Li Xiaoyao, but just as they were about to leave, Shi Xiaoqing's two bodyguards blocked their path.

Li Xiaoyao said in a deep voice, "Get lost!"

The two bodyguards, expressionless, moved simultaneously, reaching out to grab Li Xiaoyao.

Li Xiaoyao's movements were as fast as lightning, and Xiao Ya didn't even see how he did it before the two bodyguards were already flying out.

After the two left, the street vendor swallowed nervously, took the money, and quickly packed up to leave the place.

Back in the car, Li Xiaoyao asked, "Is that Shi Xiaoqing very influential?"

Xiao Ya replied, "His father is Shi Dai, a towering figure in the antique world of Ling City. He has Fiery Eyes Golden Gaze that can distinguish the authenticity of antiques, and to date, he hasn't made a single mistake. The Shi family is very wealthy, but in terms of influence, they're just average. It can only be said that the Shi family knows many people; however, when real troubles arise, there are few who would actually reach out to help."

Li Xiaoyao nodded, gaining a rough understanding of the Shi family.

Xiao Ya said, "Mr. Li, you are someone who dares to take Cheng Family's money; are you still worried about a mere Shi family?"

"Hmm? What does that mean? Is the Cheng Family that formidable?" Li Xiaoyao was completely unaware of these major clans.

Xiao Ya gave a free lesson, saying, "The Shi family, after all, made their wealth from antiques; even with a lot of money, their worth is just tens of millions. The people they knows, the circles they move in, are all limited. But the Cheng Family is far beyond the Shi family's league."

"The Cheng Family has a hand in military, politics, and business sectors, and they've reaped no small benefits in each. It can be said that in the whole of Lu Province, the Cheng Family would rank in the top five."

This time, Li Xiaoyao was truly shocked. The Cheng Family he had encountered today was one of the top five major families in Lu Province.

'If the Cheng Family is one of the top five major families in Lu Province, then the Xiao Family, which has dealings with the Cheng Family, must not be too shabby either.'

Li Xiaoyao looked at Xiao Ya's near-perfect profile and could tell from her accent that she was from Jindu.

'They say Jindu is a place with hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Just any father and daughter pairing that can be mentioned in the same breath as the top five ranked Cheng Family in Lu Province, I wonder how powerful the top five families in Jindu are!'

It truly makes one aspire!

Nevertheless, the most urgent task at hand is to sincerely enhance my own strength; only with great personal power is the ultimate path.

"Buzz buzz~"

Li Xiaoyao received a text message—it was from Lin Yuanyuan. This madwoman had finally not been able to resist and took the initiative to send him a message.

"Cai'er didn't call you?"

Li Xiaoyao replied, "She did."

Lin Yuanyuan became annoyed, "You were called, so why didn't you come over?"

Li Xiaoyao, "I'm busy with something."

"I'm alone at home, I'm scared, come over immediately to protect me."

This time, Li Xiaoyao did not reject her; after all, Lan Cai had already called him in advance to inform him about the matter, and Lin Yuanyuan had also taken the initiative to show weakness. If Li Xiaoyao were to still put on airs, it would seem a bit too petty.

"Send the address."

Lin Yuanyuan immediately sent a string of addresses.

Li Xiaoyao glanced at it, then looked up and asked, "Can you take me to a place?"

Xiao Ya was taken aback for a moment, but quickly regained her composure, smiling slightly, "Of course, Mr. Li, where would you like to go?"

Li Xiaoyao told her the address, and Xiao Ya turned on the navigation and headed there.
