Chapter 104 : Inviting Tang Qingmo Onto the Stage (Full Chapter)
"Master Liu, regarding this beast riot, shouldn't you give us an explanation?"
On the other side, Lu Tianren and some of the guests walked up onto the stage, their expressions grave as they approached Liu Xueye.
All the guests attending this banquet were prominent figures—of course they were furious about this "surprise" beast riot!
What the hell kind of joke was this?!
I came here to show you respect by attending your banquet, and I almost lost my life!
Lu Tianren questioned sternly, "Master Liu, if you want to hold a beast-viewing event, you're required to submit an application to the Martial Arts Association. And why were there no martial artists providing security on-site?"
Even for the segment in an auction where exotic beasts are displayed, for the safety of the guests, there must be at least two martial artists of the corresponding realm present for security—to prevent any accidents!
If Tang Qingmo hadn't eliminated it in time, everyone here would've been bathed in blood by that Lion-Spreading Tiger!
"Master Liu! What exactly is going on?!"
"If you don't give us an explanation today, I won't let the Liu family off!"
"And give us our phones back first!"
The guests glared at Liu Xueye, their anger overflowing!
Liu Xueye was stunned too.
He never imagined that what was supposed to be a beast exhibition—an event meant to raise the Liu family's reputation—would turn into such a massive disaster!
If Tang Qingmo hadn't killed it in time...
Right! Tang Qingmo...!
"Everyone! This accident is indeed the fault of our Liu family!"
In his panic, Liu Xueye decided to use Tang Qingmo as a shield. With sudden excitement, he said, "I will give everyone a satisfactory explanation afterward! But why don't we first invite the young man who just saved all of you up on stage!"
"Actually, the young man who saved everyone just now is the young master of the Tang family—and also my daughter Liu Ruyin's fiancé!"
!!?
The moment those words fell, the guests erupted into shock and heated chatter.
What did he just say?
That handsome young man who saved everyone… is the Tang family's young master?!
And when it came to the Tang family, the biggest talk across the city lately was the real vs. fake young master scandal!
Everyone knew Tang Xianxi—but it had already been publicly revealed that he was the swapped fake young master!
If that was true, then this Tang Qingmo must be the real young master?!
At that moment, even the Tang family members present had no idea what was going on!
Earlier, Bai Hualian and Tang Ruoling and her two sisters had been terrified by the sudden appearance of the Lion-Spreading Tiger and fled for their lives. They completely forgot about Tang Qingmo's existence—so naturally, they didn't notice that the beast had been killed by him!
Only Tang Jianren snapped out of it in time and hurriedly looked for Tang Qingmo.
"Qingmo! So you're here!"
Tang Qingmo happened to be standing beside the stage.
The moment Liu Xueye revealed his identity, Tang Jianren wanted to bring him up there to take credit.
After all, he had saved every single guest in the venue!
And rounding it up—didn't that mean it was thanks to his father's great guidance?!
Although the real-and-fake young master scandal had damaged the Tang family's reputation before, Tang Qingmo's heroic deed now could restore plenty of glory to the Tang family!
"Qingmo! Hurry up and come on stage so everyone can meet you!"
On stage, Liu Xueye also quickly called Tang Qingmo over.
The guests were furious at the Liu family's "surprise." But if Tang Qingmo came up and Liu Xueye announced him as the Liu family's future son-in-law, maybe everyone would let it go for the sake of their lifesaver!
"..."
Tang Qingmo allowed himself to be pushed onto the stage by Tang Jianren, pretending to comply.
Liu Xueye was so excited he didn't notice Tang Qingmo's cold expression, and he even handed him the microphone.
"Young—" Lu Tianren looked slightly shocked, but after receiving Tang Qingmo's gaze, he didn't continue.
Liu Xueye said ingratiatingly, "Qingmo, how did you kill that beast just now? Why don't you say a few words to everyone?"
Tang Qingmo: ...
Liu Xueye's intentions were painfully obvious.
He was trying to shove Tang Qingmo into the spotlight to cover up the beast riot incident!
Sure, Tang Qingmo had saved everyone like a savior—but from another angle, he was also Liu Ruyin's fiancé.
Wouldn't people start suspecting… that he was working together with the Liu family?
Tang Qingmo let out a quiet, mocking laugh. How could he ever let Liu Xueye get what he wanted?
"Master Liu, before you ask me how I killed that beast, I want to ask you something first. Didn't the Liu family hire a lot of martial artist bodyguards? Why didn't we see them just now?"
!?
Caught off guard by Tang Qingmo suddenly raising this question, Liu Xueye froze.
Truthfully, he found it strange too...
He had previously hired two martial artist bodyguards—but because they "spoke rudely" in the Tang family, Liu Ruyin had fired them.
Later, Liu Ruyin used her own savings and asked him to hire a new batch of martial artist bodyguards for this banquet...
At the time, he had thought she was doing it for the family's sake and agreed.
But now—when they needed them the most—not even a shadow of them could be found!
Wait—
Why was Tang Qingmo suddenly bringing this up?
And how did he know the Liu family had hired many martial artist bodyguards?
Liu Xueye suddenly realized something. His eyes widened as he stared at Tang Qingmo in shock!
"Qingmo, what are you implying?" Tang Jianren asked from the side, confused by Tang Qingmo's question.
Tang Qingmo ignored him. With a cold sneer, he looked at Liu Xueye.
"I'll tell you the reason, Master Liu."
"Because those bodyguards were taken away by your precious daughter and your nephew and niece…"
"…to deal with me."
!?
