Raising My Children With My Personal Spatial Ability Chapter 2974: They Really Will Cripple Someone

"No, no, it’s not like that, Young Master Hong. I really didn’t mean anything by it, I just... just asked casually."

He had merely posed a simple question—why did it blow up into such a massive issue, cornering him like this?

Acting on the Family Head’s commands, he had arrived to assess the circumstances, yet how did his luck turn so sour, leading to a confrontation with these two heirs from the City Lord Residence?

"What is the purpose of Steward Zhao coming here?"

Unwilling to let his cousin drag out the conversation with this individual, the Young City Lord interjected with the question.

"This..."

Steward Zhao faltered. Naturally, he had come under the Family Head’s guidance to investigate the buyer of this land parcel.

Should this buyer possess any real power, they aimed to pull him into their fold. What a rich simpleton, ready to shell out twice the amount for this property.

As the Family Head had explained, in these times, those with solid financial backing—even lacking influence—could bolster the Le Family’s odds against the two powerful clans through their wealth alone.

That had been his mindset from the start.

However, with the Young City Lord and Hong Tianxu now in the picture, everything had shifted.

"I just heard there was a residence that appeared out of nowhere, so I came to check the situation and see if there was anything we could help with, hehe. After all, the land was purchased from our Le Family. The meaning of our Family Head is that if we can help, we will do our best to help."

"Heh."

At Steward Zhao’s remarks, the Young City Lord and Hong Tianxu let out simultaneous sneers.

What pretty phrasing—if assistance is possible, they’ll offer it fully, but if not, they simply won’t bother, correct? It came across as though the Le Family would end up collecting a huge debt of gratitude.

"Brother Qian has the City Lord Residence’s support here, no need to trouble the Family Head of the Le Family with this matter. We have other things to attend to, so we won’t keep Steward Zhao any longer."

Hearing the Young City Lord’s dismissal, Steward Zhao could only depart. His eyes glanced toward Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue, intending to return later for more probing once these two heirs were gone.

"Then I shall take my leave first."

As he pivoted to exit, a voice that rang faintly familiar reached him from behind.

"Guard the residence. If anyone insists on breaking in, no need to kill them, just cripple their cultivation level," Qian Jiyun issued the cold order to the Paper Person stationed at the entrance.

"Yes, Master."

The Paper Person acknowledged, straightening up while locking its gaze steadily on the Beastmen hovering close by.

A sudden shiver raced along Steward Zhao’s back, prompting him to hasten his steps in alarm, nearly tripping from his rushed movements.

The strength of those two gatekeepers was exceptional; he hadn’t even had time to respond before they hurled him away, and his form still throbbed with pain.

No one could tell where they had recruited such a multitude of high-level cultivators. It was already impressive to employ them as protectors, but assigning them merely to watch the gate seemed like a terrible squandering.

Had they joined the Le Family, their talents would have been put to intense use.

Such a shame, truly a shame.

"Brother Qian, would they really cripple someone?"

With the crowd mostly dispersed, Hong Tianxu sidled up to Qian Jiyun and whispered the query.

The pair of gatekeepers showed not a trace of warmth, eyeing the retreating Beastmen as if they were already corpses. Indeed, it had frightened the onlookers into fleeing.

"Want to try?"

Qian Jiyun turned his gaze on him and posed the question.

"No way!"

Hong Tianxu leaped back in haste.

He had zero desire to lose his cultivation base. While it might not dazzle others, it held great value in his own eyes.
