Inside the restaurant diagonally across from the hospital.

After Liu Zixuan ordered the meal, he and Meng Yu found a private room and sat down.

Meng Yu looked at Liu Zixuan's emotionless face and asked, "Are you okay just now?"

"What happened just now?"

"You weren't injured, were you?" Meng Yu asked again.

Liu Zixuan sneered, "How could that be? Two small fries couldn't possibly hurt me. But from this, you can see that the so-called experts of the Meng Family are not much."

"My dad said that back when the Meng Family was at the peak in the Celestial Capital, they had quite a few experts. But they became arrogant because of their strength, leading to internal strife for family resources."

"Soon, the Meng Family's experts either died or left, so those who remained really aren't up to much. Perhaps that's also the reason why the Meng Family has declined now!"

Listening to Meng Yu's words, Liu Zixuan asked, "And what about you? What do you think?"

"What do I think about what?"

"That thing Meng Chen mentioned earlier, making you a tool for the family!"

Meng Yu paused: "I won't agree to that. From the moment we were expelled from the Meng Family in the Celestial Capital, our dreams are not the same as theirs!"

Liu Zixuan laughed, "That's right, they shouldn't be allowed to keep their bad habits!"

"However, I'm worried they might use some despicable tricks. To protect the family's legacy, sacrificing one person, I'm sure someone would do it!"

Listening to Liu Zixuan's words, Meng Yu furrowed her brows, "They wouldn't dare, would they?"

"Who can say for sure!" Liu Zixuan held Meng Yu's hand, "But don't worry, if the Meng Family in the Celestial Capital dares to bully you, I wouldn't mind erasing them from the Star Sea!"

Besides, Liu Zixuan thought to himself, if that day really comes, then his journey to the peak of the Star Sea would start with the Meng Family in the Celestial Capital!

As the two were chatting, Meng Chen rushed in, panting, "Sorry for being late."

"Why are you here again?" Liu Zixuan asked curiously.

"I said I would treat you to a meal, so I should make it happen. I hope you can treat me differently. I'm me, Meng Zhihao is Meng Zhihao. My intentions are different from his," Meng Chen explained earnestly.

Liu Zixuan smiled, "I never make things difficult for women, especially beautiful women like you. Actually, even if you hadn't asked, I would have saved that Meng Dongdong, not as a favor to you or the Meng Family, but because of Meng Yu."

"In Meng Yu's eyes, that Dongdong, like her, is someone abandoned by the Meng Family."

"That doesn't matter!" Meng Chen had a strange expression on her face, then smiled, "Regardless of the reason, I have to treat you to this meal!"

"Next time," Liu Zixuan smiled meaningfully, "I suggest you go find Meng Zhihao now!"

"He's already taken people back to the hospital, I won't go looking for him, just seeing him annoys me!" Meng Chen shook her head.

"What if it's the last time you see him?" Liu Zixuan raised his eyebrows teasingly.

"The last time?"

Meng Chen was puzzled for a moment, then her expression changed drastically. She quickly stood up and said, "Next time, I'll treat you to a proper meal!"

After saying that, she hurried out.

Meng Yu asked puzzled, "What did you mean just now?"

"Do you remember when I patted Meng Zhihao on the shoulder before leaving?"

"I remember, yeah?"

"I gave him two Silver Needles!" Liu Zixuan checked his watch, smiled, "If nothing unexpected happened, he should be dead by now!"

"Dead… dead!" Meng Yu's face turned pale, muttering, "It's over, it's all over!"

"What's over?" Liu Zixuan felt Meng Yu was overreacting!

"You probably don't know, but Meng Zhihao is the appointed next Patriarch of the Meng Family. His father currently runs the whole Meng Family. More importantly, his father Meng Zeyang is notoriously unreasonable and brutal throughout the Celestial Capital!"

Meng Yu explained anxiously, thinking this time, they've really messed with the wrong people!

Liu Zixuan grinned, "Is that so..."

After speaking, he continued to nonchalantly pick up his chopsticks and start eating.

Meng Yu quickly grabbed his hand, "How do you still have the mind to eat? Let's go quickly!"

"Go where?"

"Go see if Meng Zhihao is really dead or not. If he can still be saved, you should heal him, so it's not so troublesome," Meng Yu said, carrying her bag.

Liu Zixuan stood up, pressed Meng Yu's shoulder and made her sit back down.

"Just relax and eat your meal, don't jump at every little thing. It's just the Meng Family," Liu Zixuan said with a light smile.

"It's not the same."

Meng Yu's eyes were red with urgency, and she said seriously, "You indeed fought with Meng Family experts before, and they are indeed not as strong as you. Although there is internal strife and external worry in the Meng Family now, given Meng Zeyang's temper, he might drop everything to fight you."

"I also told you earlier, the real experts of the Meng Family left or died back then, but there are still some left in the family!"

Liu Zixuan played with a toothpick for a couple of seconds, "Do you think I'm the kind of person who does things recklessly?"

"No, but this time, the situation was indeed not well thought out!" Meng Yu replied.

Liu Zixuan shook his head, "Don't worry, they can't do anything to me."

"Whew." Meng Yu furrowed her brows and took a deep breath, "Why won't you listen to me!"

"Meng Yu, have you heard of the Willow Association?" Liu Zixuan suddenly asked.

"Of course I've heard of it, Qian Nan's Willow Association, such a big force, how could I not have heard of it, why did you bring it up suddenly?"

Liu Zixuan crossed his arms, leaned on the chair, "Just when you went to the Celestial Capital, I had a fight with the second Patriarch of the Willow Association."

"Do you think the Meng Family in the Celestial Capital can compare to the Willow Association?"

"Wh... what!" Meng Yu was completely shocked, "You fought with the second Patriarch of the Willow Association?"

"Many people in Ghost Wood City know about it." Liu Zixuan sneered, "So relax, if soldiers come, block them; if water rises, cover it with earth. Since I dare to do it, I dare to face all consequences. I, Liu Zixuan, may not be invincible, but I'm not foolish enough to provoke something I can't handle!"

Meng Yu's mouth twitched several times, wondering what kind of person Liu Zixuan really was!

To be able to fight with the second Patriarch of the Willow Association, then sit here and chat calmly.

The Meng Family absolutely can't compare to the Willow Association. If that's the case, then Liu Zixuan indeed has no reason to fear the Meng Family.

Then Meng Yu put her bag back, "Then just be careful, easy to avoid an open attack but hard to guard against a hidden one."

"Don't worry, until I've won you over, how could I let them get the better of me!" Liu Zixuan said with a teasing smile.
