The Invincible Doctor of the Female Village Chief-Chapter 613: Banquet at Lotus Fragrance Tower
Xiangyang’s words fell, and those burly men walked straight towards Liu Zixuan and his group.
The atmosphere reached a peak of tension, and the fight could break out at any moment.
Liu Zixuan patted Gu Yu’s shoulder: "Speak out what you have figured out, don’t worry, they won’t harm you."
Gu Yu took a deep breath, just as the burly men were about to make their move: "Mr. Xiang, what you’re most hesitant about right now is one of your brothers; your brother and business are making it hard for you to choose..."
"Stop!"
Just as those burly men had already started to act, Xiangyang suddenly shouted to halt them and walked quickly to stand in front of Gu Yu: "Continue speaking!"
"I don’t know the specifics, but what I do know is that your brother and your business are in conflict now. This deal is not small, and it directly impacts you, yet your brother also wants the deal. You are confident you can replace your brother but worry about a fallout between you two!"
Gu Yu breathed a sigh of relief as Xiangyang called off the men, pretending to be profound and speaking.
Xiangyang furrowed his brows: "Even though not many know about this, some do. How can I be sure this is something you’ve divined?"
"But your brother betrayed you before, and you reconciled; this matter should be unknown, right?" Gu Yu said meaningfully.
Upon hearing this, Xiangyang’s expression changed instantly and signaled for the burly men to retreat to the side.
"Are you really a fortune teller?" Though Xiangyang’s words were a question, he was already convinced because what Gu Yu said was only known to him.
Liu Zixuan saw this and directly spoke: "Whether he can tell fortunes, you already know now. Since we’ve said we can solve your problems, we can do it. But Mr. Xiang has been quite unkind!"
"If you can really help me, I’m willing to apologize for what just happened!" Xiangyang said.
"No need for apologies; I’m someone who likes to collect my debts personally!"
Before Liu Zixuan’s words had fallen, his figure disappeared like a ghost and, in a moment, was close to the burly men.
A series of swift motions knocked seven or eight of them to the ground, causing painful moans.
In just a moment, the burly men Xiangyang relied on were down, and watching this scene made Xiangyang’s pupils contract.
"You! What do you mean by this?" His words hinted at anger.
Liu Zixuan, hands in pockets, approached Xiangyang, staring into his eyes, speaking word by word: "I came to talk to you as a gesture of respect, but you didn’t care and even tried using people to hit us, which disrespects us. You want respect, and so do we, but I’m someone who likes to earn respect back for myself."
Xiangyang took a deep breath, "Dayong, arrange a banquet at Lotus Fragrance Tower. I need to apologize to these two!"
He Dayong was perplexed; he hadn’t expected his childhood friend could tell fortunes, nor Liu Zixuan to be so terrifying—the burly men hired at a high price by Xiangyang were swiftly knocked down.
But the crisis had passed, and he quickly agreed and walked outside.
Xiangyang bowed slightly to Liu Zixuan and Gu Yu, sincerely saying, "I had eyes but failed to recognize worthy ones, many apologies."
Liu Zixuan snorted coldly: "Best not to try any tricks again; otherwise, past obstacles may be hard to overcome, and today, your survival in itself could be a problem!"
Having said so, Liu Zixuan led Gu Yu out of the company.
Xiangyang was stunned for a moment, calling someone over: "Investigate these two’s backgrounds, see if they are from Gehua."
"Certainly, Mr. Xiang." The person nodded and went out.
...
Lotus Fragrance Restaurant.
He Dayong ushered Liu Zixuan and Gu Yu into a private room, then left. Only the two remained inside.
Gu Yu’s fingers trembled as he picked up a cigarette and took several strong puffs: "Damn, I was scared to death just now. If it weren’t for you, I’d probably have wet myself."
"Was it that bad? I saw you fooling people before without much tension." Liu Zixuan sneered.
"How can it be the same? Before, I was tricking regular folks, maybe some rich fools, but Xiangyang is different; he’s a major player in North City. A slight mistake with him, and my life could be over!"
Gu Yu glanced at Liu Zixuan: "But you’re really impressive, taking out those bodyguards so quickly."
"Were those few people enough to surprise you? I was planning to show you even bigger scenes!" Liu Zixuan laughed.
Those seven or eight men were indeed nothing compared to the masters from Celestial Capital.
In fact, dealing with Xiangyang here is somewhat beneath Liu Zixuan’s status now.
Before long, Xiangyang entered; during the brief period, his people found that Liu Zixuan and Gu Yu were not from Nan Gehua—although Liu Zixuan’s information was untraceable, Gu Yu was found to be local.
Hence, his worries were gone, carrying a bottle of celadon porcelain as he walked in.
He laughed heartily: "To show my apologies, I brought out a bottle of wine I’ve been collecting for years, personally to apologize. Earlier, I was short-sighted."
"Many troubles lead to irritability; we understand." Liu Zixuan waved his hand, giving Xiangyang an exit.
Once everyone was seated, Xiangyang filled the glasses and raised his cup: "This drink is my self-punishment."
Liu Zixuan also picked up his glass: "Drinking alone is no fun; let’s all drink together."
Xiangyang gave Liu Zixuan an unusual look, then smiled and clinked glasses with them, drinking it all.
Xiangyang paused and laughed: "Master Gu, there are few true masters like you nowadays. Could I ask where you learned your art?"
"Why? Want to test me?" Gu Yu, with an air of mystery, squinted his eyes: "Even if I tell you, you might not handle the consequences. My master is like a celestial being, and if he knew he was being discussed, just a sneeze from him might cost you half your life!"
Xiangyang’s expression changed immediately, waving his hands: "No... no such intent, I was just asking casually."
Seeing Xiangyang’s fearful look, Liu Zixuan held back laughter, glancing at Gu Yu, who had been scared enough to almost wet his pants moments ago. Yet now he was bluffing and saying a sneeze would cost someone half their life, hilarious!
Looking at Xiangyang, he laughed: "Mr. Xiang, we’re all smart here, no need for evasion. We can solve your issues, but we have one condition!"
