Chapter 461: Chapter 461: So What If It’s Excessive【Fourth Update】
Xiao Ya faintly heard someone talking near her ear and hazily opened her eyes. It took a good while before the objects in her field of vision became clear.
“She’s awake,” Cheng Yiyi, who was constantly watching over Xiao Ya, saw that she opened her eyes and whispered a reminder.
Li Xiaoyao got up and came over, his familiar face appearing in Xiao Ya’s line of sight, only to hear him ask softly, “Do you feel better?”
“What happened to me?” Xiao Ya propped herself up with her hands on the bed and slowly sat up. Her head was still somewhat dizzy, and her memories were a bit disordered.
What exactly had happened? Why couldn’t she remember anything?
Li Xiaoyao took out a pill medicine and said, “Take this.”
...
Xiao Ya’s body was weak and powerless; after taking the pill medicine, a rich spiritual energy spread throughout her body, making her feel much better.
“Some bastard drugged your drink, but I got here in time to save you. You’re okay now,” Li Xiaoyao said it casually, but Xiao Ya was terrified by his words. She had almost been drugged and violated by Young Master Tang, and just thinking about it scared her.
Although Li Xiaoyao had saved her, the thought of what might have happened made her tears fall like broken pearls, rolling down ceaselessly.
Li Xiaoyao held her in his arms, his palm gently stroking her hair, and he said softly, “It’s all right, I’ve got you.”
Cheng Yiyi, watching their intimate actions from the side, felt a sourness rising in her heart and muttered to herself, “There’s definitely something between them.”
“I’ll deal with this matter. If you face any trouble in the future that you can’t handle, don’t force yourself, just call me.” Li Xiaoyao said these words just to make Xiao Ya understand that he would always be her strongest support, giving her a sense of security.
Xiao Ya’s emotions gradually stabilized, and she wiped away her tears, only then noticing that there was another woman in the room. She couldn’t help but blush, her gaze shy as she murmured in reproach, “Yiyi is here, and you didn’t tell me.”
The two women knew each other, but their relationship was limited to having met a few times and knowing each other’s names.
“Knock, knock, knock!”
The sound of knocking came, and Li Xiaoyao walked over to open the door. A man in a suit held out an invitation and said, “Sir, Mr. Tang invites you to tonight’s banquet.”
Li Xiaoyao took the invitation and asked, “Mr. Tang? Which Mr. Tang?”
The man in the suit smiled and said, “Tang Shiren of Tang Corporation.”
The name was unfamiliar to Li Xiaoyao, but Xiao Ya, who heard this from behind, had a slight change of expression and whispered softly, “Xiaoyao, he’s the family head of the Tang Family.”
Li Xiaoyao suddenly understood and tore open the invitation, scanning it briefly before a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
This banquet was probably a trap.
An ordinary person might not attend, but Li Xiaoyao was no ordinary person.
He put away the invitation casually and said, “Go back and tell your family head that I will attend the banquet on time.”
“Xiaoyao,” Xiao Ya clenched his hand nervously, a worried look on her face.
Li Xiaoyao chuckled and said, “The Tang Family is nothing to worry about. I’ll settle all these troubles tonight.”
Xiao Ya knew Li Xiaoyao’s character and realizing it was pointless to persuade him further, said, “I’ll go with you.”
“Yes, you should,” Li Xiaoyao nodded, then looked at Cheng Yiyi and said, “You rest at home. Once I sort out this situation, I’ll send you to Medicine God Valley.”
“Okay,” Cheng Yiyi responded indifferently, as if she wasn’t concerned at all.
Six o’clock.

Li Xiaoyao drove with Xiao Ya to the Tang Family’s residence, where tonight, the Tang Family was hosting a family banquet in honor of Li Xiaoyao.
On the way, Xiao Ya suddenly asked, “Why is Yiyi also coming?”
“It’s a long story.” Li Xiaoyao didn’t really want to explain the matter.
However, Xiao Ya seemed quite interested, “Then give me the short version.”
With a helpless sigh, Li Xiaoyao said, “I’ve reached a cooperation agreement with the third of the Cheng Family, mainly to develop the high-end market in Xuan Country. The products are medicinal herbs from Zhongnan Mountain. As the spokesperson for the Cheng Family, Cheng Yiyi will be staying in Medicine God Valley for the long term.”
“Oh,” Xiao Ya’s eyes swiveled as if she didn’t quite believe him, and she murmured softly, “But I feel like the way Yiyi looks at you is a bit off.”
“You’re imagining things,” Li Xiaoyao said, feeling somewhat guilty as he casually took out a pack of cigarettes and lit one.
Xiao Ya watched his actions and chuckled twice, not pressing the issue any further.
Half an hour later, the two arrived at the Tang Family villa.
As soon as the car stopped, someone came forward to open the door, asking respectfully, “Are you Mr. Li?”
“Yes,” Li Xiaoyao replied, taking Xiao Ya’s arm and walking in at a leisurely pace.
No sooner had they stepped into the living room when a very haughty looking man approached them. He looked down from above and asked indifferently, “So you’re Li Xiaoyao? You don’t seem to have anything special about you.”
“Tang Ji, take them upstairs,” a woman’s cold voice commanded from the second floor.
Tang Ji huffed, stepped aside, and said, “Follow me.”
The two followed behind, with Xiao Ya gripping Li Xiaoyao’s arm a little harder, the hint of panic in her heart palpable.
There was a large terrace on the second floor, which was where the banquet to receive Li Xiaoyao tonight was being held.
On the terrace, there was a large round table filled with exquisite dishes, and a circle of Tang Family members sat around it.
At the master’s seat sat a white-haired elder, who was none other than the Tang Family Head, Tang Shiren.
The eyes of the other family members contained a slight anger as they stared at Li Xiaoyao. It was this young man who had slain a member of their Tang Family that day. If it wasn’t for the Family Head preventing them from taking action, the hidden gunmen nearby would have shot him into a sieve as soon as he got out of the car.
“Mr. Li, please take a seat,” Tang Shiren, worthy of being the head of the family, managed to maintain a serene demeanor even in the face of the enemy who had killed his family member.
There were just two seats left at the table, and as the two sat down, Li Xiaoyao got straight to the point, “I came here today for one thing only.”
As Li Xiaoyao spoke, his gaze slowly swept across everyone’s faces and finally met Tang Shiren’s eyes, “Whoever covets the Zheng Family’s estate is making an enemy of me.”
“Insolence!”
“Do not think we, the Tang Family, will fear you just because you’re a Cultivator!”
“Truly, do you think just because you killed Yang Tianren, you can act recklessly?”
Li Xiaoyao ignored these people, his eyes still fixed on Tang Shiren, waiting for his response.
As long as Tang Shiren promised not to compete with the Xiao Family for the Zheng Family’s estate, Li Xiaoyao was willing to let go of the Tang Family this once. However, if the old man was unwise, Li Xiaoyao might have to teach them a lesson.
Tang Shiren chuckled a few times, raised his hand to make a calming gesture in the air, and looked at Li Xiaoyao, “Mr. Li, this matter belongs to the realm of business. You are being a bit excessive.”
“So what if it’s excessive?” Confident in his words, Li Xiaoyao displayed a sense of confidence, which, to the Tang Family members, sounded arrogantly conceited.
