Early in the morning, when the people in the Guo Family were busy preparing for their journey, a group of people visited the Guo Family and surrounded the front door.

“Go! Knock on the door!”

As soon as the voice of the middle aged man fell, someone hurried forward and banged on the door of the Guo Family’s Manor: “Open the door! Open the door!”

When the doorman heard the commotion, he opened it and saw a large group of people outside. Their expressions were moody, and he was taken aback: “Who are you all? What are you going to do?”

The people in front of him separated and revealed the middle aged man behind them, and the man whose hand and neck were bandaged with white gauze.

When he saw the two people, the doorman recognised them: “You are the Patriarch of the Li Family?” Why did the Patriarch of the Li Family come here?

“Hmph!” Patriarch Li snorted coldy and stood with his arms folded. He glanced at the old doorman and said: “We have come to get someone today! Go and tell your Patriarch and tell him to hand the person over to me!”

Upon hearing this, the old doorman was startled and beckoned a guard whom he then instructed to go inside and report the matter.

He was sitting in the main hall with his Father and talking when Patriarch Guo saw the steward coming inside in a hurry and asked: “What’s the panic?”

“Patriarch, Senior Patriarch, the Li Family are here. Patriarch Li brought a group of people and surrounded our gate and said that we have to hand the person over.” The steward reported what had happened outside.

Upon hearing this, Senior Patriarch Guo, who was sitting in the main seat inside the main hall looked at his son and asked: “Why are the Li Family here? Who is it they want?”

“Father was unaware, last night…”

Patriarch Guo told his Father what Guo Xinning had told him last night, finally, he said: “Later, I sent someone to Exquisite Pavilion to enquire, the Young Master of the Li Family had too much to drink and tried to take advantage of the Young Miss from the Xie Family. Who knew, when he was unsuccessful, he hit Xie Yutang and was kicked down the stairs by Feng Jiu in retaliation.”

He paused, then said: “I thought that the Li Family wouldn’t make a deal out of this matter, but my guess is that they have found out they are not our Guo Family, so they dare to come and ask us to hand them over!”

Upon hearing this, Senior Patriarch Guo shook his head and sighed: “The Young Master of the Li Family has a limited breadth of mind and is narrow minded, he can’t compare to his Father Old Man Li’s way of handling matters.”

“Father, let me go and take a look.” Patriarch Guo spoke as he stood up.

Senior Patriarch Guo took a sip of his tea and said slowly: “Since has come to our door, I doubt he will give up so easily, you can handle it! Don’t worry our guests about this kind of thing.”

“Yes.” Patriarch Guo responded and then went out.

After Guo Xinning heard the commotion outside the Manor, he inquired and learnt that someone from the Li Family had come to the door. He paused, then walked to the courtyard where Feng Jiu and the others were.

His Father would handle this matter, but he still wanted to see if Feng JIu and the others were ready.

When he arrived at the courtyard, he was a little surprised when he saw them about to come out: “You got up so early? Have you eaten yet?”

“We’ve eaten, we were just about to go and look for you!” Xie Yutang said, and asked: “I heard from Feng Jiu that Brother Guo, you and your Grandfather will be travelling with us?”

“Yes, we are going to the Treasure Exchange Building.” Guo Xinning said warmly, then he said: “The pastries have been delivered from the Exquisite Pavilion.”
