Chapter 288: Great-Uncle Master
Xiao Ya was already eye-catching, and Qin Dahai, an arrogant and domineering second-generation rich, drew a lot of attention with his voice, which he didn't bother to lower.
The Qin Family was not considered a major clan, relying solely on a Jindu official uncle to act high and mighty, walking as if they owned the place, ignorant of the world, in every direction.
Such a person, ordinary people wouldn't want to offend because once entangled, it was hard to get rid of them.
Li Xiaoyao's behavior was like that of an uncivilized savage entering a civilized society, charging around without a care.
As for whether his arrogant speech would cause any trouble for the Xiao Family, outsiders wouldn't care, they would only enjoy the show.
Qin Dahai's face darkened as he scoffed and let out a cold laugh, "You think being on the list of the wealthy means you can strut around? This is Forty-Nine City, even the Xiao Family has people they can't provoke. I'll let you know what price you have to pay for being disrespectful to someone you shouldn't provoke."
"Hey, isn't that little guy the toy boy that Xiao Ya's just taken in?"
"Xiao Ya's taste isn't that great, huh? This toy boy isn't even as good-looking as me."
"I bet Xiao Ya is going nuts right now, with a toy boy acting so brazenly, causing trouble for the Xiao Family for no reason. If Xiao Dingguo were here, he'd probably pass out in anger."
Xiao Ya didn't react much, just sighed and shook her head, feeling pity for Qin Dahai.
Xiao Ya really didn't understand, Qin Dahai's father was a big shot in Jindu, how did he end up having such a worthless son?
Qin Dahai clenched his fists, seemingly ready to take action.
As Li Xiaoyao's fingers moved rhythmically, Xiao Ya knew he was about to make a move.
Xiao Ya could only pray that Li Xiaoyao would be gentle, hoping he wouldn't slap him to death.
"Qin Dahai, what the hell are you doing?"
An angry voice came from not far away, surprising everyone as they turned to look.
"Isn't that the eldest son of the Fu Family?"
"And the young miss of the Yun Family."
"The person next to Yun Family's young miss is the youngest of the Mu Family, right?"
These three people had two identities.
The first was as the children of their respective families.
The second identity was as disciples of Jindu's Yin Yang Master, Liu Chengxiang.
Anyone connected with Liu Chengxiang was not simple.
The crowd, seeing the real wealthy young masters and misses looking displeased with Qin Dahai, murmured to themselves.
"When did Qin Dahai offend Fu Xiaosheng?"
Qin Dahai was intimidated by Fu Xiaosheng's presence; he dared to shout at Xiao Ya but didn't dare to posture in front of Fu Xiaosheng.
Everyone in the circle knew that when Fu Xiaosheng caused trouble, he never relied on his family's power; he had his own set of principles.
That principle was to solve all problems with his fists.
Fu Xiaosheng was a good fighter, and it was said he was a disciple of Liu Chengxiang.
Qin Dahai was a coward who bullied the weak and feared the strong, and 'defeated before the battle' described him perfectly.

"Young Master Fu," Qin Dahai said with a sneaky smile, explaining, "This guy is oblivious to his limitations, I was just about to teach him a lesson."
Fu Xiaosheng and his companions wore strange expressions. The clueless guy Qin Dahai was talking about, was he their Uncle Master Li?
Fu Xiaosheng took a deep breath, about to explode, when Mu Ming and Yun Yue, who were behind him, stepped forward and kicked Qin Dahai in the stomach.
Caught off guard, Qin Dahai was sent sprawling backward.
"Qin Dahai, have you grown bear's guts and leopard's gall? How dare you be rude to my Uncle Master?" Yun Yue's beautiful eyes glared furiously, like an angry little lioness.
"Uncle Master!"
Qin Dahai clutched his belly, his forehead breaking out in cold sweat.
The onlookers around him were also somewhat taken aback when they heard Yun Yue's address to the man.
How could this young man be Yun Yue's martial uncle?
However, the crowd didn't pay too much attention to it, assuming it was just a unique form of address among the younger generation, and nobody made the connection between Li Xiaoyao and Liu Chengxiang.
It wasn't that they were unintelligent, it was simply unimaginable to link the two together.
One was a revered Yin Yang Master, while the other was just an ordinary young man; to suggest that there was any connection between the two, nobody would believe it even if beaten to death.
Qin Dahai thought the same way, making a bitter face, he said, "Young Master Fu, I didn't know he was a friend of yours. Had I known, not for ten times the courage would I have dared to insult him."
Yun Yue, hands on her hips, glared and cursed, "Are you sick of living, daring to insult my martial uncle? I'm telling you, it's lucky that my martial uncle didn't make a move, or you wouldn't even know how you died."
Yun Yue was forthright and hot-tempered, her carefree demeanor completely uncharacteristic of a woman, creating a stark contrast with her delicate and beautiful appearance.
The eyes of the crowd lingered for a few seconds before moving away; they all took this as a disagreement between young people.
Fu Xiaosheng said, "Kowtow and apologize to martial uncle."
Qin Dahai's face twitched as he said, "Young Master Fu, isn't this going a bit too far?"
Fu Xiaosheng's gaze hardened. "Either kneel down or leave lying down, choose one."
Qin Dahai felt conflicted and angry.
Even though he had offended someone he shouldn't have, he had the Qin Family behind him, and no matter how strong the Fu Family was, this was too much.
Qin Dahai stood up and said coldly, "Fu Xiaosheng, I call you Young Master Fu in respect of the Fu Family, but if you think the Qin Family is easy to bully, you are gravely mistaken."
"Blah blah." Fu Xiaosheng, somewhat impatient, walked over quickly and punched him in the face.
Qin Dahai didn't even have time to react and couldn't avoid it; the punch bloodied his nose and mouth, and he passed out with a roll of his eyes.
Fu Xiaosheng, ignoring the astonished looks around him, dusted off his hands and stepped over Qin Dahai's belly to walk to Li Xiaoyao's side, flashing a grin, "Martial Uncle."
Li Xiaoyao showed no expression and didn't pay any attention.
Fu Xiaosheng scratched his head somewhat awkwardly, while Yun Yue and Mu Ming also called out, "Martial Uncle."
Yun Yue, relying on her youthful boldness, said with a grin, "Martial Uncle, how come you're also attending the party tonight?"
Mu Ming pushed her and whispered, "Can you stop asking dumb questions? Didn't you see Xiao Ya next to martial uncle? It's obvious he was brought along as a date."
Yun Yue had an epiphany, "Oh~ Our martial uncle has exceptional taste, only someone like Xiao Ya would be a match for him."
Xiao Ya was utterly confused; she had met Fu Xiaosheng and the others before and understood the massive influence the families behind them wielded.
Xiao Ya had always felt she knew Li Xiaoyao well enough, but now, with just a 'martial uncle' from those three, she was totally baffled.
"How does Li Xiaoyao relate to these three families? Martial Uncle? What's the situation here?"
You don't strike a smiling face, and besides, Li Xiaoyao found them rather agreeable, certainly more so than Liu Chengxiang.
Li Xiaoyao turned around and sat down, asking, "Didn't your master come?"
Fu Xiaosheng replied, "The Lan Family sent an invitation, so he should come."
Seeing that Li Xiaoyao wasn't interested in talking, and unsure about their martial uncle's temperament, they made small talk and walked away.
"Martial Uncle doesn't seem to be on great terms with our master.
Didn't you see martial uncle get angry at noon?"
"Anyway, it has nothing to do with us; it just feels like a pity. If only we could get martial uncle to teach us a move or two," Fu Xiaosheng said with regret.
