“Old Dog Hu, how dare you!” Song Tian shouted in a deep voice, and the surging pressure instantly whistled towards Hu Clan’s group.
He never imagined that Hu Lie would actually dare to make a move against his own family members in front of him.
“Family Leader, don’t be rash.” Right at this moment, an old man who had quite a bit of prestige in the Song Family hurriedly spoke out.
Only after hearing this did Song Tian regain his senses. The whistling pressure also gradually ceased.
The Song Family and the Hu Clan had been at loggerheads for many years. Although they had fought many times in the open and in the dark, both parties were still relatively restrained. There had not been any major friction over these years.
This was the first time that something like this had happened.
“Family Leader Song is indeed powerful.” Seeing Song Tian stop, Hu Lie chuckled and clapped his hands. His gaze swept around and paused on Song Qingluan for a moment before finally returning to the furious Song Tian.
He continued, “I came here today just to seek an explanation.”
Hearing this, it was not only Song Tian who was confused, but everyone present was also confused.
“Just yesterday, Your Song Family injured a disciple of my Hu Clan. That disciple still hasn’t woken up,” seeing everyone’s confused look, Hu Lie explained with a smile.
Even so, everyone still had a confused look on their faces. They had no idea what Hu Lie was talking about.
Yesterday? They had spent the entire day in the residence yesterday. When had they ever injured a disciple of the Hu Clan?
“Yesterday, I sent someone to invite Miss Song to my Hu Residence for a chat. In the end, I found out that my disciple was injured by your Song Family. Is that true?” Hu Lie snorted coldly. His tone was somewhat interrogative.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present came to a sudden realization. Their gazes subconsciously landed on Gu Xi’s location.
Yesterday, Gu Xi had conveniently saved Song Qingluan. That Hu Clan member was obviously injured by Gu Xi.
However, even though everyone understood, seeing that Song Tian had not said anything, no one took the initiative to reveal Gu Xi.
Moreover, what made everyone angry was, what did he mean by inviting her?
If it were not for Gu Xi’s rescue yesterday, it was unknown whether Song Qingluan would still be alive today.
Most importantly, the Song Family and Hu Clan had never been on good terms. There was nothing to talk about!
For a moment, the faces of many members of the Song Family turned ugly.
At the same time, Song Tian’s face also turned extremely ugly. From the corner of his eye, he intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Gu Xi, who still had an indifferent expression. A thought flashed through his mind as he looked at Hu Lie once again. He said in a deep voice, “We didn’t know about this. I’m afraid that you’ve found the wrong person.”
According to his thoughts, if he could help Gu Xi avoid this disaster, then the latter might agree to stay in the Song Family!
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Once he could keep a talent like Gu Xi, he could tie the two parties together through the marriage with Song Qingluan in the future. Many years later, once Gu Xi’s reputation on this continent was greatly increased. At that time, the status of the Song Family would definitely rise. At that time, they would definitely be able to completely squeeze the Hu Clan out of Water Cloud City!
This was simply a good way to kill two birds with one stone!
Therefore, today, he had to protect Gu Xi no matter what!
Of course, all of this was just Song Tian’s own thoughts.
What he did not know was that Gu Xi had no intention of staying in the Song Family the entire time. Moreover, his impression of the Song Family had already fallen to the lowest point.
“Whether or not you’ve found the wrong person is not up to you to decide.” Hu Lie smiled. Even though he was in the depths of the Song Family, he did not show the slightest bit of panic.
This made Song Tian feel very puzzled.
Hu Lie had only brought a dozen people this time, yet he dared to swagger into the Song Family’s territory and even injured some members of the Song Family.
Song Tian could not understand no matter how hard he tried.
After all, the two families had been at loggerheads for so many years, and he had a good understanding of Hu Lie.
With Hu Lie’s personality, he would definitely not do such a reckless thing without absolute confidence.
There was something strange! There must be something strange!
Thinking of this, Song Tian’s back could not help but break out in cold sweat. His gaze subconsciously began to size up the people Hu Lie had brought.
Very quickly, he locked onto a short figure covered in a black robe.
For some reason, with his current cultivation realm, he was unable to see through this person’s cultivation realm. It was as if this black robe could block the detection of spiritual sense. Of course, there was another possibility. This person’s cultivation level was higher than his!
Song Tian’s breathing became a little hurried. Regardless of whether it was the former or the latter, this person was definitely not simple!
The person in the black robe seemed to have sensed Song Tian’s probing. He nodded slightly, revealing a pair of slightly reddened eyes.
Just one look at each other and Song Tian felt a great danger. His entire person subconsciously took a step back!
The corner of Hu Lie’s mouth lifted slightly when he saw this scene. His expression became even more savage.
This had only happened in the span of a breath. Naturally, it did not escape Gu Xi’s eyes.
Ever since Hu Lie and the others entered the hall, he had already noticed the person shrouded in a black robe.
He did not know why, but he had a vague feeling that there was a strange yet familiar fluctuation on this black-robed person.
It was as if he had seen it somewhere before.
After thinking about it, Gu Xi still could not find a satisfactory answer in his mind.
After all, there were only a few people he knew in the Southern Continent. In any case, those who could be called by their names were not the people in front of him.
‘No wonder he dared to be so arrogant. It turns out that he has a helper.’
Gu Xi thought to himself, and then began to drink his tea again.
In any case, this was a matter between the Song Family and the Hu Clan. No matter what, it would not implicate him.
Although Hu Lie had mentioned the matter of injuring the Hu Family’s disciples, even a fool could see that this was just an excuse.
The conflict between the two sides had been going on for so many years, and there were at least a few hundred dead and injured disciples every year. Since when would the head of a family need to act personally for a few injured disciples?
“Even if my Song Family injured a few members of your Hu Clan, now that you’ve also injured some of ours, what else do you want?”
Song Tian pointed at the injured members of the song family and stared fixedly at Hu Lie.
“What else do I want?” Hu Lie smiled slightly and pointed at Song Qingluan, who was not far away. “As long as Miss Song comes to the Hu Clan for a chat, I will dop this matter.”
As soon as these words were said, the hall was in an uproar, and many of the younger generation members of the Song Family had furious expressions on their faces.
Song Qingluan, who was named by Hu Lie, had a very pale face.
