As Qian Jiyun and his companions emerged from the newly built estate, they witnessed the Le Family's steward being repelled by the gate-guarding Paper Person after attempting to force his way inside. The steward, sent to investigate the sudden appearance of the estate on land recently sold by his family, reacted with fury upon being knocked back, only to falter upon recognizing Young City Lord Bai among the group. Confronted by the Young City Lord, who questioned his arrogant intrusion, the steward hastily claimed it was a misunderstanding, insisting he merely sought to check for illegal occupation and expressing surprise at the estate owner's ties to the City Lord's residence.

"Who claims we're relatives? Mind your speech—don’t let the fierce winds warp your words amid this stormy weather!" Hong Tianxu swiftly pulled away after catching the man's effort to butter him up.

Did they truly believe he remained the naive fool from the day before, nearly succumbing to their schemes? Now, he refused to let this elderly fellow approach him in any way.

Forcing a connection to the Le Family hinges on their consent, doesn't it?

"Uh, are you... Young Master Hong? You've returned to White Lion City." It was only then that Steward Zhao spotted Hong Tianxu nearby.

Although irritation surged within him at a lowly human interrupting, he recognized the danger in antagonizing this individual and forced himself to converse politely.

Throughout White Lion City, it was common knowledge that the City Lord’s Wife showered affection on this nephew from her daughter-in-law’s side, bringing him up daily.

Her biological son never enjoyed such favoritism.

In other circumstances, the City Lord’s Wife's favoritism might stir resentment in her husband's clan, yet oddly, both City Lord Bai and Young City Lord Bai esteemed this outsider, Hong Tianxu, greatly as well.

Hence, Hong Tianxu stood as an untouchable figure within the City Lord Residence.

"Once more? Does Steward Zhao wish this Young Master would stay away from White Lion City? Hear that phrasing—precisely how have I wronged you?" Hong Tianxu shot back.

Why should this decrepit steward concern himself with his visits to White Lion City? Should he take up residence there, it was still his uncle-in-law’s domain—what right did a Second Family Clan steward have to eject him from the city?

"White Lion City is clearly under the Le Family's control, right? Even a simple steward feels entitled to judge this Young Master."

"No, no, absolutely not, Young Master Hong. You've got it wrong; I'd never entertain such notions."

Hong Tianxu's sharp remark sent Steward Zhao breaking into a icy sweat. Should word spread, not only he but the whole Le Family would face swift annihilation from White Lion City.

"I'm overjoyed by your arrival in White Lion City—why would I think anything else? Moreover, our Family Head fully respects the City Lord Residence as the guiding authority."

With one hand raised toward the heavens, he nearly vowed it. This Young Master Hong proved merciless—a single phrase nearly dragged the Le Family into clashing with the City Lord Residence.

The Le Family already perched atop a volatile explosive; provoking the City Lord Residence would seal their doom entirely.

Serving as the Le Family's steward, he frequently managed tasks for the Family Head, accumulating foes aplenty. Once the Le Family crumbled, his own fate would turn dire.

"My purpose in White Lion City is to see my uncle and aunt. So what's got you so worked up? Are you scheming to exploit me for some shady plot?"

Hong Tianxu questioned gravely, sensing it could very well be the case.

With the Le Family teetering on the edge of peril, inaction might lead to their banishment from White Lion City. In such a crisis, the Le Family Head would grasp at any opportunity to secure their position.

They might even scheme to leverage the City Lord Residence?

Steward Zhao: "..."

Whatever words escaped his lips seemed to invite trouble, didn't they?

This Young Master Hong wielded a venomous tongue, twisting truth into lies effortlessly.

He hadn't harbored any ill intentions toward him whatsoever. The Le Family already bristled with adversaries; adding a foe from the City Lord Residence would leave them utterly hopeless. Couldn't he ease up on the pressure?
