Elsewhere, Zhu Family.

“Old Zhu, how do you feel?” Bei Mingxuan leaned on the sofa, his expression troubled. The physical injury was nothing to a warrior who was at the pinnacle of the Star Sector-level. What really troubled him was being so insulted by Hong Dali that he could not even lift his head.

No matter what, he was the head of the Bei Family, one of the top three families. He could accept losing 20 billion Shenglong Dollars, but the loss of respect infuriated him.

“Sigh, this Hong Dali is really not easy to deal with.” Zhu Yunzhou narrowed his eyes and said grimly, “Actually, our first plan had already failed. Our reputation has been completely smeared by Hong Dali. I finally proposed to call off the marriage arrangement and managed to turn the situation around. I did not expect Hong Dali to wrench it around again!”

It was no wonder he was so depressed.

Previously, he was so disgraced by Hong Dali he did not even have a chance to fight back. This time, the plan was a total failure.

He had issued the Marriage Annulment Challenge. This time, the situation would be completely turned around.

After all, Hong Xingyu was already advanced in years but he was at his peak. Furthermore, he had had some success with the Cultivator’s secret manual. He had a very high chance of winning if he fought against Hong Xingyu. But now...

“I’ve already planned for this.” Zhu Yunzhou smiled helplessly and shook his head. “I thought about it before. Even if we get the timing right based on the news we are getting, there are still uncertainties. In case our previous plan fails, there must be a remedial measure. Especially since according to the information from that person, Hong Xingyu’s recent physical condition is not very good. We have a good chance of winning. If we don’t cherish such an opportunity, we will be punished by the Heavens. Alas, in the end...”

“Yes, we have gone through the plan with a fine-tooth comb. We know that if we want to remove a big tree, we must first remove its roots.” Bei Mingxuan smiled bitterly and said, “I was waiting for you to kill that old fellow, Hong Xingyu. After that, we will be able to make up whatever stories we like. But now...”

“It’s useless to say anything now.” Zhu Yunzhou thought for a while, then said, “Fortunately, we still have an undercover in the Hong Family. If we use him well, we might still be able to turn things around.”

“You mean... that person?” Bei Mingxuan touched his chin. “He might be useful. But then, when you win, what will we do with him? Let him go?”

“Well, I thought about this before.” Zhu Yunzhou frowned, then said slowly, “I meant to dispose of him once we are done. But the Hong Family has many businesses and there’s still Old Madam Hua Yueling steering the helm. It will be hard to exterminate them. We might as well leave someone to help us control the situation.”

“That’s true.” Bei Mingxuan thought for a while and nodded. “Hua Yueling is not easy to deal with. This is also a good way. By the way, how confident are you now about the duel in three months?”

“I only have 50% confidence now.” Zhu Yunzhou smiled confidently. “I have already figured out some useful things from the Stellar-level Cultivator’s secret manual since we obtained it. Integrating that with our Zhu Family’s Tianwu Secret Records, I will be able to use at least 130 times of my power. The upper limit of the Hong Family’s Realm King Fist is 120 times. Even if they have a Star Sector-level Cultivator’s secret manual, how much would they be able to glean from it in three months? Furthermore, with his physical state, hehe...”

“Okay!” Bei Mingxuan slapped his thigh forcefully. “During this period of time, let me know if you need anything. Don’t stand on ceremony!”

“Don’t worry, we are on good terms.” Zhu Yunzhou laughed. “I will definitely need your help. If you have any secret manuals, hand them over to me. Our families are now on the same boat.”

“Of course!”

...

As a student of the Divine College, Lin Yifei would go online to see the latest news after training every day. For example, where there was excitement, the latest news from the school, which star sector was embroiled in war, where the Zerg had been spotted, and so on.

After all, after training for an entire day, relaxing the mind was a good way to relieve stress.

This day was the same as any other. After he was done with training, he went online, as usual, to look at the latest news. His attention was immediately attracted to a video titled “The War of the Top Three Families, a Beautiful Slap to the Face”.

“The war of the top three families?! This is big news!” Lin Yifei’s eyes lit up.

The three families were the top among Shenglong Royal Family. The Hong Family, the Bei Family, and the Zhu Family! Was there a war between them?

How could he not watch such explosive news? Lin Yifei immediately clicked on the video. “There are more than 800,000 views already? This video has just been posted, hasn’t it? More than 3,000 comments?! Watch, I definitely must watch it!”

Soon, the holographic projection displayed the video. Lin Yifei’s holographic projection system was pretty good, the images were clear and everything seemed to be happening right in front of his eyes.

He had just started watching when he was completely dumbstruck.

“This... where did this group of people come from? They broke into their family elixir room and ate the elixirs as a meal?!” Since he was a student of the Divine College, Lin Yifei was naturally also a member of the Shenglong Royal Family. However, although he was a few levels above the Star Sector nobles, he was just a middle-lower class in the Royal family. Therefore, he also drooled at the elixirs in the Hong Family Elixir Room.

Lin Yifei had heard a lot about the Hong Family Elixir Room. All the elixirs inside were high-grade elixirs. The Lin Family, to which he belonged, could buy elixirs from the Elixir Market if they wanted to. But they felt the pinch when eating them—elixirs cost tens of millions or hundreds of millions each, and not everyone could eat them by the handfuls.

However, this young man not only ate by himself, but his lackeys also followed suit. Something like that...

“This fellow is a little too much?” Lin Yifei gulped. “What a prodigal way of eating. How many elixirs have been wasted? This is intolerable!”

He was not the only one who could not bear it. The Hong Family Elder could not tolerate it either. Soon, the three Hong Family elders appeared at the Elixir Room with their men.

What happened next was way out of Lin Yifei’s expectations. The young man ignored the Elders completely and continued eating?!

As he watched the expressions on the faces of the three Hong Family elders, Lin Yifei’s eyes opened wide. “This young man is amazing!”

Soon, Hong Xingyu appeared. This was where it got dramatic. The young man not only continued eating, he even kept some! The three Elders had someone calculate the value of the elixirs and Lin Yifei’s eyeballs almost popped out. “20 billion! F**k!”

Twenty billion worth of elixirs and this fellow did not even bat an eyelid.

At this time, Lin Yifei finally found out what the young man’s name was—Hong Dali!

Obviously, this video was destined to scare Lin Yifei to death. After a while, this young man named Hong Dali took out a booklet. The book was very inconspicuous, but when Lin Yifei saw the keynote above it...

“Star Sector-level Cultivator’s secret manual!” Lin Yifei sat on the ground with a horrified shudder. “It’s actually a Star Sector-level Cultivator’s secret manual! Now that the Hong Family has this secret manual, won’t their strength go up like a boat during the rising tide?”

Just then, the Bei Family and Zhu Family people appeared, and what happened next was full of unexpected plot twists. Book tearing, shouting, intimidation, and so on. At this time, Hong Dali was giving slaps to their faces left, right and center. Finally, he suppressed the Bei family and Zhu Family with his own might, so much so that they were unable to even lift their heads!

Most importantly, Zhu Ningyu, who had originally come to call off the marriage arrangement, ended up being rejected by Hong Dali instead.

“God, this is big. This is really big!” Lin Yifei swallowed with some difficulty. “The Hong Family is intending to trash it out with the Zhu Family this time!”

The Zhu Family from the top three families had issued a Marriage Annulment Challenge to the Hong Family! Something like this was definitely the biggest news in a few hundred years!

Marriage Annulment Challenge, they were going for broke this time!

Lin Yifei was stunned, and the scenes that followed were even more dramatic!

First, Hong Dali took out the video, and the Bei Family and Zhu Family were totally insulted. Lin Yifei nodded as he watched—after this video was posted, the reputation of the Bei Family and Zhu Family would be in the mud. No wonder they offered 10 billion...

“Wait!” Lin Yifei suddenly exclaimed. “They offered 10 billion, but this video was still posted. Doesn’t that mean...”

Lin Yifei gasped when he saw what happened next. Hong Dali asked for another 20 billion from the Bei Family and the Zhu family as compensation for the torn secret manual! The total assets of the Lin Family which Lin Yifei was from were not even 1% of this amount!

You must know that even between the Royal Family, there were great differences.

The Shenglong Royal Family was the collective name of the natives of Shenglong Star. They belonged to the top of the hierarchy in the entire Shenglong Astral. However, there were still many differences in terms of power and status between one official and the next. They were like officials in the capital city and were several levels above those in other places. But there were also differences in class between the officials in the capital city. Unfortunately, Lin Yifei belonged to the lower middle class among the capital city officials—the total assets of his family were only about 200 million to 300 million...

And Hong Dali had just casually gotten 20 billion from the Bei Family...

Such an astronomical figure. Damn, money was obviously nothing in his eyes!

“He’s practically God!” After he had finished watching all the videos, Lin Yifei was so shell shocked he was trembling. “This person called Hong Dali is practically God. F**k, he’s amazing! He’s so bold!”

It was no wonder he was so shocked. Those were the Bei Family and the Zhu Family which were on equal standing with the Hong Family. In the end, in the face of Hong Dali, they were totally unable to exert their might. They were practically just lying there waiting to get insulted.

When he finished watching the videos, Lin Yifei quickly read the comments. They greatly amused him—

“This Hong Dali is the God of Face Smacking. He’s amazing! He’s invincible!”

“Isn’t it so? I’ve never seen anyone so amazing. In his presence, the Bei and Zhu Families could not do anything except getting insulted!”

“Powerful! Great! Idol, he is definitely my idol!”

“I didn’t know money could be earned like that. 20 billion. He got 20 billion in the blink of an eye. He’s invincible!”

As he read the comments, Lin Yifei laughed for a while. Finally, he could bear it no more and rushed out of the door—

“Breaking news! Breaking News! ‘The War of the Top Three Families, a Beautiful Slap to the Face’! It’s legendary!”
