Chapter 187: Can You Help Me? (Seeking Subscription)_2
Unexpectedly, the Patriarch Bai Rou of the Bai Family came down with a twist of her waist, not showing any fear on her face, but rather a sense of cheerfulness?
Why is this?
It was as if she was suddenly completely conquered, developing a peculiar after being tormented.
"So did we truly misjudge what happened on the second floor?"
"It seems that after these big family members went up to the second floor, it didn't affect the five major families of Xufu Town."
"They ate and drank as usual, seemingly having no intention of resisting."
"Does this mean the situation on the second floor is very good; otherwise, who has the guts to go up and take a look?"
"If you can, you go up."
"I can't."
"Then why are you babbling?"
"Watch your mouth."
"Hit me, huh?"
Thus, only the people from four families remained at the Lamp Flower Tower, looking at each other, each with their own opinions.
They all didn't understand why the Bai Family left so quickly.
They were even more puzzled about what exactly happened on the second floor.
Firstly.
According to the normal course of events, isn't this supposed to be a celebration banquet?
They were already preparing to take advantage of the celebration to create some chaos among themselves.
The men wanted to try their luck, and then the Bai Family with many women just left?
Then why should these men stay, should they really fence with each other?
If they really came for fencing, they shouldn't have come, as there are Martial Arts Arenas in the family.
Fencing openly in the Martial Arts Arena for training is entirely possible.
Secondly.
According to the abnormal course of events, Bai Rou from Bai Family left with a smile.
If there's a smile on her face, doesn't that mean she's in a good mood? If she's in a good mood, doesn't that mean things went successfully?
And if things went successfully, doesn't that mean there's a celebration banquet?
If there's a celebration banquet, doesn't it mean a new merchant guild has been formed?
Moreover, the most crucial thing is that Bai Rou has a smile on her face, which assures that families from other towns did not harm us.
The weasels didn't harm us innocent little rabbits, did they?
The people on the first floor of the Lamp Flower Tower genuinely didn't understand what happened, seeming filled with contradictions.
"Ah, whatever, the situation must be moving in a good direction."
"Let's keep eating."
"Don't care about it, just wait for the good news from our Zhangsun Family's Patriarch Changsun Hao later."
"Yes, indeed."
"Come, let's eat."
If you can't understand it, then don't look, as you can't change anything anyway.
Just eat honestly, Zhangsun Family treated us, after all; it's a waste not to eat.
The atmosphere soon began to recover.
The Bai Family's departure didn't cause any deep impact on the hall.
Now the majority of people remained in a sort of muddled happiness.
This happiness was baseless, rather like self-deception.
"Ah!"
"There are still many who don't understand the danger of this matter!"
"I don't know how their minds are interpreting this matter!"
The young man who first recognized these town families, his face was pale as he clutched his knees with both hands.
Sitting there uncomfortably, caught in a state of total anxiety.
For the first time, he found the people around him to be so stupid.
Or maybe they have such a good mindset and are able to take things lightly?
Beside the young man was a woman who had spoken before, and now her expression mirrored his.
"Obviously, we just explained the situation earlier."
"We told them clearly that the current situation is very dangerous."
"But after this brief discussion, they fell back into that inexplicable joy."
Understanding individuals are ultimately a minority; for these two, they could only silently look at each other.
Holding each other's palms, their breathing became chaotic.
They were quickly engaging in a mental exchange.
"Now the Bai Family has left..."
"This is a bad start."
"Yes."
"At first, Yuchi left calmly."
"Then Wei Zhe and so many big family members came."
"Now Bai Rou leaves with a smile; if something is abnormal, a demon must be at play. This is obviously a great crisis! Are they still this relaxed?"
The two sighed and comforted each other's empty hearts.
...
Subsequent events developed very quickly, just as these two predicted.
Though they didn't clearly see why things turned out this way, they knew it was far from simple.
As expected.
Right after Bai Rou of the Bai Family left, the chiefs of the remaining three families appeared before their offspring.
Even though these family chiefs couldn't be as carefree as Bai Rou, what else could they do?
If it's coming, it's coming; they couldn't withstand it.
Alas.
If it's wrong, it's wrong; anyway, they are a small family and not the one to make decisions.
Psychological pressure was hardly significant.
Originally, they didn't have much voice in the merchant guild.
