"Haha, Bai Shan, I'm just an old bag of bones. A visit would be nice, wouldn't it?" Mr. Luo said with a grin that didn't reach his eyes. Before Qi Baishan could respond, he continued, "But these days, I've left Luo Family matters to the younger generation. Seems like no one remembers me anymore."

The tone carried a hint of loneliness.

But Qi Baishan could easily decipher the underlying message.

This was a clear indication that he was not going to meddle.

Inwardly, Qi Baishan cursed this old fox, knowing that persuading him was futile. After exchanging a few more words, he hung up the phone.

"That old fox has no intention of getting involved in our Qi Family's matters!" Qi Baishan roared in anger. He smashed his palm onto the table, shattering the marble into pieces.

At the same time, Mr. Luo also ended the call.

A cold smile played on his lips, "Qi Baishan wants to drag me into this, huh? His scheming is not bad."

Old Ghost quickly asked, "Sir, that boy named Ye seems quite formidable. He actually threw Qi Xiong out of Qin's place and now has his men breaking the arms of Young Master Zongfang's people. Is he challenging our Luo Family? Don't we need to intervene?"

Mr. Luo squinted, casting a glance at Old Ghost, "Didn't I say earlier? Family matters are now in the hands of the younger ones. Let's see how Zongfang and Qian Qi handle it."

Old Ghost frowned, "But Young Master Zongfang looks extremely furious. I'm afraid he might kill that boy Ye Guichen."

Mr. Luo sipped his tea lightly, "Well, then it depends on his capability. If he can't handle a young fledgling, how can he inherit the Luo Family?"

"But if Young Master Zongfang and Miss Qian Qi end up clashing over Ye Guichen, wouldn't that lead to internal strife?" Old Ghost said worriedly.

Mr. Luo laughed heartily, dodging the question, "That boy is talented. He has stirred up all of Qinghe within a few days. If he can become my grandson-in-law, that wouldn't be a bad choice."

Hearing this, Old Ghost realized Mr. Luo didn't want to discuss this anymore and fell silent.

Meanwhile, Luo Zongfang was also not idle.

The two who had been beaten and had their arms broken by Ye Guichen at the Qin residence had returned to the Luo Family, along with Aunt Jiang.

They stood suppressing their emotions, faces contorted in grief as if they had lost their fathers.

Luo Zongfang, at thirty-three, had a chiseled face and eyes that exuded mature dominance.

His tall, burly figure carried a natural air of authority when he stood.

As the eldest grandson in the Luo Family's next generation, Luo Zongfang had been groomed for the family head position since childhood, so he firmly believed that he would lead the Luo Family one day.

Yet, recently, Luo Qianqi single-handedly garnered substantial wealth for the Luo Family, saving it from its crisis. This made many Luo Family members start to pay attention to Qian Qi.

This made Luo Zongfang sense a looming threat.

Thus, this time, he had to find a way to secure the Qin Family, amplifying his influence in the eyes of the Luo Family.

"Aunt Jiang, that boy just openly hit you all in front of Qin Hanzhong, even breaking their arms?" Luo Zongfang tried to suppress his anger, asking ominously.

Aunt Jiang spat with hatred, "That's right! That boy didn't show any respect to you, Mr. Luo! Even Qin Hanzhong did nothing! If we don't teach them a lesson, they'll think we fear that little bastard."

"No need for your commentary!" Luo Zongfang glared at Aunt Jiang while constantly rolling two walnuts in his hand.

He was biding his time.

Whenever agitated, Luo Zongfang would rotate those walnuts to calm his nerves.

Aunt Jiang and the other two didn't dare to breathe too loudly, waiting for Luo Zongfang to speak.

After a long pause, Luo Zongfang finally halted his actions and looked up, "Aunt Jiang, call Qi Baishan."

"Qi Baishan?" Aunt Jiang was taken aback, "Do you want to collaborate with the Qi Family?"

Luo Zongfang snorted, "Call him!"

Seeing Luo Zongfang's anger, Aunt Jiang quickly dialed Qi Baishan's number.

Soon, the call went through.

Qi Baishan, who was about to call Luo Zongfang, was surprised when he received the call first.

"Haha, Nephew Luo!" Qi Baishan greeted heartily, a smile on his face. Previously, when he called Old Master Luo, he had to show deference. Now that Luo Zongfang initiated the call, it elevated his own standing.

He inwardly looked down on Luo Zongfang a bit.

This nephew paled in comparison to Old Master Luo.

Still, he remained courteous, "What brings you to call, Nephew Luo?"

"Uncle Qi, I heard a guy named Ye Guichen beat up some of my brothers?" Luo Zongfang also smiled warmly as if they were very close.

"Yes, sigh, don't mention it! My useless sons have shamed me. If they had your skills, Nephew Luo, we wouldn't be in such disgrace!" Qi Baishan sighed deeply, expressing his frustration.

Seeing Qi Baishan steering away from the main topic, Luo Zongfang inwardly cursed his cunning nature and said, "Uncle Qi, you should know that boy humiliated me. I want to deal with him, but if our two families unite against one brat, people might think we fear him. So, I have a suggestion. What do you think?"

"Oh?" Qi Baishan's interest was piqued, "What is your suggestion?"

"Simple, kill without mercy!" Luo Zongfang said with an insidious smile, "Qin's Mi Lan is already betrothed to me. That boy brazenly claimed he won't let her marry me. That's a wife-snatching grudge, so he must die!"

Qi Baishan shook his head, "Nephew, that's easier said than done. That boy seems skilled. Killing him isn't so straightforward."

"Hehe, that's why I'm discussing it with you, Uncle Qi." Luo Zongfang smirked, "From what I know, that boy threatened to tear down your Martial Arts Top Scholar plaque. So let him try! If we lay a trap, killing him will be easy."

Qi Baishan hadn't expected Luo Zongfang to come up with such an idea.

Luo Zongfang was shifting the burden onto him.

However, knowing Ye Guichen wasn't an easy opponent, there might be losses on the Qi Family's side.

Qi Baishan wasn't foolish.

He sighed, "I understand your idea, Nephew Luo, but my sons are useless. I'm afraid we might fail and get ourselves killed."

"That's easy. I can send people to help you."

Qi Baishan's eyes lit up.

This was what he was waiting for.

"Good!" Qi Baishan laughed, "If someone as righteous as you is willing to help, those ties will strengthen our bond. I guarantee to make sure Ye Guichen won't leave alive!"
