The Immortal Who Returned from the Netherworld Road – Chapter 24

Ch 24: Another Disturbance Arises

Saturday, 7 p.m.

The Longxi Rough Stone Exchange opened on time, and crystal stone merchants from all over the Dragon Country flocked into the venue.

Xi Yang, wearing a slightly short custom-made dress, followed behind Huang Shiman.

Huang Shiman looked at the ill-fitting dress and said with displeasure, “What’s going on with this dress? It was made completely according to my measurements, how could it be too short? What are these clothes makers doing?”

“It’s okay, can’t I wear it?” Xi Yang said, tugging at the tight clothes.

Huang Shiman said apologetically, “It was my oversight this time, please forgive me, Advisor Xi. I’ll have someone remake it for you after the convention!”

Xi Yang nodded.

They arrived at the entrance of the exchange.

Liu Jiazhou saw Xi Yang from afar and ran over while shouting, “Xi Yang, here, here!”

Xi Yang heard the sound, looked in his direction, and stopped!

Huang Shiman was wearing an exquisite cheongsam, graceful yet dignified. She looked at Liu Jiazhou in confusion, “Your friend?”

Xi Yang nodded, “He’s my classmate!”

Liu Jiazhou came to Xi Yang’s front, panting, “Xi Yang, where have you been? I had Uncle Wu looking for you all day! I thought you had disappeared!”

Xi Yang smiled, “It’s okay, Uncle Liu is here too!”

Liu Jiazhou replied, “He’s right behind!” Saying that, he looked at Huang Shiman on the side and asked, “And this is?”

Xi Yang explained, “This is my boss, Huang Shiman!”

Huang Shiman nodded with a smile. “Xi Yang, I’ll go in first, I’ll wait for you inside!” Saying that, she shook her phone.

Xi Yang nodded in agreement.

Liu Jiazhou watched her departing back and leaned over, laughing, “You’re something, kid, you managed to pick up such a beauty in one day! Amazing!”

Xi Yang shook his head, “She’s my boss! Don’t think too much!”

“Xi Yang!” Liu Zhengtian, who had arrived later, shouted.

“Uncle Liu, you’re here!” Xi Yang said.

Liu Zhengtian nodded, his eyes sizing up Xi Yang, “Xi Yang, you seem to have grown taller, and these clothes seem to be a custom-made dress from the Huang Family of the county town, did you join the Huang Family?”

Xi Yang was slightly surprised when he heard this. As expected of a businessman, he noticed the clues as soon as they met. He explained, “Yes, I bought a rough stone at Huang’s Rough Stone Shop today and it increased in value. The boss saw my ability and made me a rough stone consultant for Huang’s Rough Stones.”

Liu Jiazhou said with envy, “Sure enough, it has to be you! Amazing!”

Liu Zhengtian sighed and thought to himself, “I was still too slow! However, now he has a good relationship with Jiazhou, he may not help Jiazhou in the future, and his roots are in Xizhao Town!” Thinking of this, he felt a little relieved.

Then he said, “Then let’s go in first! The Rough Stone Gambling Convention is about to begin!”

Liu Zhengtian led them into the exchange together.

The security personnel at the gate quickly checked their identities and only let them in after repeated confirmation. The crowd hadn’t walked far when a hysterical shout came from behind, “Quick, stop that short kid in the dress for me!”

Several security personnel quickly stepped forward and surrounded Xi Yang and the others.

Xi Yang looked back and his face suddenly darkened.

The person who came was Wen Xiang, who had been beaten up by him at the Immortal Crane Restaurant at noon.

He came to the security captain and pointed at Xi Yang, saying, “I don’t care about the others, this kid can’t be let in? He’s carrying a knife!”

The security captain quickly led his men to surround Xi Yang, holding batons and shouting, “Raise your hands! Quick!”

Xi Yang looked at Wen Xiang, who was leaning on crutches, and smiled, “It’s already been checked just now, and no knives were found? You have to have evidence to say that!”

Wen Xiang sneered, “I said you brought it, so you brought it! Lock him up for me!”

The security captain heard this and said sternly, “Immediately squat down and hold your head, otherwise we will take violent measures!”

Liu Zhengtian on the side was about to speak, but when he saw that the person who came was Wen Xiang, he immediately pulled Liu Jiazhou and hurried in.

They came to the Rough Stone Gambling venue, Liu Jiazhou broke free from Liu Zhengtian’s restraint and said dissatisfied, “Dad, didn’t you say you wanted to befriend Xi Yang? Are we just leaving like this?”

Liu Zhengtian said with an ugly face, “That’s a member of the Wen Family, we can’t afford to offend them. Forcing our way in will only bring eternal disaster to our family! Jiazhou, you have to learn to act according to your ability in some things! We’ll have a chance to compensate Xi Yang later. He will understand!”

“Dad, I don’t understand! We turn a blind eye when he’s in trouble, why should people help us when something happens to us in the future?” Liu Jiazhou said angrily.

Liu Zhengtian heard this and said angrily, “You little brat, you’re lecturing your dad! We can’t interfere in this matter, didn’t he join Huang’s Rough Stones? With Huang’s Rough Stones’s methods, he will naturally be fine!” Saying that, he walked towards the core area of the exchange.

Security Check Hall.

Xi Yang looked at the aggressive security personnel and said lightly, “Your Wen Family is also a well-known family, doing this kind of thing in broad daylight, aren’t you afraid of being laughed at!”

Wen Xiang said with a sinister smile, “Laugh at my Wen Family, ask them who dares?”

“I dare!” A crisp voice rang out. Gongsun Yuan ran in wearing a long dress.

Wen Xiang looked back at her and said unhappily, “Gongsun Yuan, this matter has nothing to do with your Gongsun Family, mind your own business!”

Gongsun Yuan straightened her chest and said, “What do you mean it has nothing to do with me, Xi Yang is my boyfriend, I’m going to take care of this matter!”

“What a joke, what boyfriend, this kid just arrived in the county town today, you say he’s your boyfriend, who would believe it!” Wen Xiang mocked.

“I say he is, that’s it, weren’t you the same just now?” Gongsun Yuan retorted.

More and more people in the hall, seeing this scene, looked over.

“What’s going on? The Wen Family’s little princess is actually fighting with Wen Xiang for a young man from the countryside? This is interesting!”

“Wow, what kind of luck did this kid have, he’s actually the Wen Family’s little princess’s boyfriend!”

“This kid is probably in trouble? He offended the Wen Family, even if the Gongsun Family is protecting him, he’s probably in trouble in the future?”

……

The crowd watching the excitement began to discuss.

Wen Xiang, who was leaning on crutches, had a flash of anger on his face when he heard this, and then became gloomy. He shouted at the security captain: “Don’t care about that woman, arrest that kid for me first!”

Just then, Huang Shiman rushed out from inside in a hurry and shouted loudly: “Stop! He is a member of my Huang Family, let’s see who dares to touch him!” The voice resounded throughout the hall, and everyone was shocked by her aura.

Immediately afterwards, Huang Shiman quickly walked to Xi Yang’s side, looking at him with concern, her eyes full of worry.

The security captain heard Huang Shiman’s words and immediately stopped his actions. This exchange was jointly financed and built by the Huang Family and the Wen Family, and both sides had a certain say in the exchange. And these security personnel were just wage earners and were not qualified to participate in this kind of family dispute at all.

He looked at Wen Xiang with an embarrassed expression and asked cautiously, “Young Master Wen, what should we do now?”

Wen Xiang cursed angrily: “What a bunch of useless things!” After cursing, he limped to Huang Shiman and said in a softened tone: “Shiman, you should be clear that our two families have always intended for us to be together. Is it really good to ruin the relationship between the two families for such an outsider?”

Huang Shiman said with a firm gaze: “Friendship is friendship, business is business, Xi Yang is a consultant of my Huang’s Rough Stones, and I won’t allow you to bully him!”

Wen Xiang took a deep breath and said with a gloomy face: “I’ll give you face on this matter, but I will definitely explain this matter to Uncle Huang afterwards!”

Huang Shiman said with an indifferent expression: “Whatever you want!”

“Humph!” Wen Xiang snorted coldly, then turned and walked inside.

The security captain saw this scene and was overjoyed. He quickly returned to his post and continued to conduct routine inspections on the merchants coming and going.

Gongsun Yuan saw Wen Xiang leave, quickly ran to Huang Shiman’s side, and respectfully greeted, “Hello, Sister Huang!” Then she came to Xi Yang’s side and took his arm.

Huang Shiman seemed to have something on her mind, just nodded heavily, and said softly: “Let’s go in, the Rough Stone Gambling Convention is about to begin!”

After speaking, the three walked towards the venue together.
