Chapter 1822: An Ant Gazing at the Sky

The Great Elder’s status and reputation within the family made Bo Li dare not talk back, silently accepting the retreat.

Meanwhile, the Great Elder turned to walk toward the room where Fang Yu was located.

“Great Elder, Mr. Diao instructed us that no one is to enter the room without his permission.”

The two guards at the door were straightforward, bold enough to speak frankly against the Great Elder of the mansion.

However, they were in a difficult position.

On one hand, there was a guest respected by the master.

On the other, there was the Great Elder, second only to one in the Bo Mansion.

Their highest capability was merely to voice their concerns.

Sure enough, Bo Shang completely ignored the two gate guards.

With a glance at the gifts piled at the door, Bo Shang walked silently to the door and knocked three times.

Knock, knock, knock.

“Mr. Diao, it’s me, Bo Shang. After a night of rest, is your spirit still invigorated? Might you come out for a discussion?”

There was no response.

Sometimes, silence is the greatest response.

Bo Shang waited for more than ten minutes, confirmed that there was no intention of coming out from inside, and then slowly retreated.

After last night’s battle, Bo Shang had a new understanding of Fang Yu’s strength. Faced with such a human powerhouse, he dared not act rashly.

After all, his combat power was not high while disguised as a human.

Just after Bo Shang left, Qian Wu arrived at Fang Yu’s room with his sister, Qin Er.

“Stop! Mr. Diao is not seeing outsiders now!”

The guards yelled at these outsiders with great assertiveness.

They stood tall, with their voices louder than usual.

Qian Wu decisively cupped his fists.

“Brothers, Senior Diao saved our lives last night. We wish to thank him personally and hope you can accommodate us.”

At this time, Qian Wu’s attitude was very humble.

It’s a joke; his trump card, Senior Zhuge, was still inside the room facing him.

He had lost his biggest bargaining chip, and he had to act low-key now.

Unfortunately, his humility only garnered disdainful looks from the two guards.

This was the Bo Mansion; the young master from the Qian Family held no status here.

As for strength… They might not be opponents, but would the other dare to act? Inside the room behind them was Mr. Diao, who had slaughtered many last night!

Thus, the guards felt emboldened and did not take Qian Wu seriously.

Qian Wu was immediately angered, his face darkening.

But as previously said, this was the Bo Mansion, and his small temper could not afford to flare up; else he’d struggle to return safely to the Qian Family.

So even though Qian Wu was angry, he had to endure.

Meanwhile, Qin Er, beside him, was staring at the tightly closed door with an extremely complex expression.

Back in Thunder City, she had been humbled and humiliated before this person.

Now with a new body, and new status, she still couldn’t stand tall before that man.

“Senior Diao! I am Qian Wu, saved by your hand last night. I am grateful. If given a chance, I hope you will come to my Qian Family, where I will lavishly entertain you!”

Qian Wu finished speaking, regardless of whether or not Fang Yu inside could hear him, bowed and left with Qin Er.

“…”

Qin Er, unable to speak, flashed a barely noticeable glint of disgust to express her stance.

The two guards didn’t care about whatever shenanigans these two were up to; whether they stayed or left, it wasn’t their concern.

Guarding the door of Fang Yu’s room had subtly elevated their status within the residence. Many were eager to curry favor with them, even those young masters who usually looked down on them were now polite.

Is this the feeling of having power…

The guards were feeling quite euphoric.

Elsewhere, Qin Er followed Qian Wu to the Bo Mansion’s gate, only to be stopped.

“You two cannot leave.”

The voice belonged to the Third Elder of the Bo Mansion, Bo Shu.

Generally, the Third Elder of the Bo Mansion wouldn’t be stationed at the gate.

But given the special circumstances, the task was personally assigned by the Family Head, so the Third Elder had to act as the Gate God.

Despite guarding the gate, a cushioned chair was arranged, a maid fanned him with a banana leaf, and peeled grapes were fed to him; life was wonderfully indulgent.

As for Qin Er and Qian Wu, they were denied even a step beyond the Bo Mansion’s gate.

Many matters from last night remained unresolved, and their unclear arrival needed thorough questioning before release.

Though the Family Head was busy with something, leaving no time to handle this, the two needn’t consider leaving the Bo Mansion.

Everything awaited the Family Head’s orders.

“What does Bo Shu mean by this? My Qian Family…”

Qian Wu attempted to leverage his identity but was silenced by Bo Shu’s stern look, and he quickly bowed his head, saying nothing more.

All talk of dignity and the inviolability of the Qian Family paled in the face of life and death.

Moreover, knowingly venturing into danger is an unwise move.

Qian Wu immediately dragged Qin Er back.

But now, unable to leave, and unable to meet anyone, he was stuck, caught in a dilemma.

Being detained like a prisoner was not what he wanted.

As he pondered how to appeal for help, his meddlesome sister suddenly gestured, pointing toward the direction of the Martial Arts Training Ground in the Bo Mansion.
