Dragon King Palace: Urban Affluent Son-in-Law-Chapter 1279: Distant Water Can’t Quench Immediate Thirst!

"Old Master, have Young Master Feng and Miss returned?"

Inside Baili Xi's study at Baili Manor.

Bai Touying walked in with a serious expression and asked Baili Xi.

At this moment, Baili Xi was standing with his arms crossed, gazing at the heavy clouds in the northern night sky, shaking his head, and said, "Not yet. I've already called. He said he and Yue'er haven't left the Provincial City yet, but they will hurry over."

"I'm afraid they won't make it!"

Bai Touying shook his head and said, "According to the latest news, Lin Lianwei's convoy should arrive at the manor first; they've already entered the boundaries of the Provincial City."

Upon hearing this, Baili Xi raised his eyebrows slightly and said indifferently, "What is destined to come will eventually arrive. That kid and Yaokun have already managed to stop the Lin Family twice, it's destined for us to face them this time. — How is Yaokun doing now?"

"Doctor Bian said Young Master Kun's arm is beyond recovery; his right arm and right hand have become bone fragments, with all muscles necrosed. Doctor Bian even suggested amputation to replace it with a prosthetic, but Young Master Kun adamantly refuses..." Bai Touying said bitterly.

No matter how you look at it, Shi Yaokun is considered a key figure in this family, with promising prospects! Being reduced to a cripple by Jiang Feng is truly regrettable.

To such an outcome, Baili Xi also feels helpless; flesh and blood can't help but cause heartache.

Such pity, it was Shi Yaokun who brought it on himself; he shouldn't have acted impulsively against Jiang Feng under such circumstances, refusing to learn from past mistakes, resulting in a lesson learned.

"Let's see him after this situation is dealt with. If it doesn't work out, send him back to his sect; perhaps his Master could have a solution." Baili Xi sighed.

At that moment, a servant hurriedly entered to report: "Report! Family Head, Housekeeper Bai! A convoy of Hummers from Capital City has arrived at the foot of the mountain. Our people tried to stop them, but they forcefully broke in, injuring dozens of our men, and now they've come up!"

"So soon!"

Bai Touying exclaimed, startled at how much quicker the Lin Family's aggressive approach was than he had imagined; he glanced at Baili Xi, whose face was also extremely grim!

Jiang Feng and Baili Xiyue have yet to return, and Shi Yaokun can only recover, unable to stand against them.

"Let's go to meet them!"

Baili Xi said dismissively, taking his gilded dragon-head cane, standing boldly, and walking out expressionlessly.

At that moment, he fully released the authority of the Family Head, allowing no defiance!

Baili Xi and Bai Touying had just walked out the door when suddenly clansmen gathered, each with anxiety on their faces, rushed forward.

"Father!"

At the forefront were Baili Long and Baili Bo, followed by Baili Li and a large group of family members.

They had just received the news and rushed over; earlier, when Jiang Feng single-handedly defeated and subdued Lin Liansheng and his minions, they were absent, but heard about it later.

They have always thought Baili Xiyue and the outsider Jiang Feng were troublemakers, and now this trouble has indeed come back after offending the Lin Family, who have definitely come for revenge!

Unlike before, where Lin Liansheng and his wife came for the refusal of marriage, this time it's because of what happened during the day!

"Father! The Lin Family is here again? I heard it's Lin Lianwei this time, sent personally by Lin Family Master Lin Yaotang?!"

Baili Long, anxious, asked hurriedly, almost suggesting the sky was falling and the Baili Family facing their end!

"Is this Lin Family determined to crush us?" Baili Bo said despairingly.

They've lived a life of luxury, indulged extravagance, superior to others, and have not faced troubles or crises for many years!

But now, the Baili Family is being targeted by a clan from Capital City, naturally causing them terror.

"Humph! I've always said Baili Xiyue is a jinx! Yesterday when she came back, I even saw her, seemingly unapologetic to the family, caring only for that wild man she brought back—Grandfather, why did you still let that wild man named Jiang drink, and give him your most treasured Immortal Brew..." Baili Li said indignantly.

"All of you, shut up!!"

Baili Xi was furious, striking his cane down heavily, immediately silencing everyone!

At that moment, even Bai Touying could see that none of these Baili Family's second and third-generation offspring were capable; when there's nothing to do, they only know arrogance and self-importance, but when there's a real issue, they turn chaotic, unwilling to unite and solve problems, only shifting blame and kicking down the fallen!

No wonder Baili Xi chose an outsider to nurture; now Jiang Feng has appeared, showing potential and a ceiling seemingly higher than Shi Yaokun's, leading Baili Xi to willingly accept him without dwelling on past grievances.

"You people, aside from living a life of luxury under my protection, what else can you do?!"

For the first time, Baili Xi abandoned his usual kindly demeanor, rebuking them: "This entanglement with the Lin Family began with my error, it has nothing to do with Xiao Feng and Yue'er! If you want to blame, blame me, don't involve others!"

"Father, this..."

Baili Long hesitated, viewing the Old Master as clearly favoring Baili Xiyue!

"Now I'll go face the Lin Family's no. 2! If you are scared, find somewhere to hide; I, Baili Xi, am too old to disgrace myself with you!"

Baili Xi said coldly, leading Bai Touying out, ignoring the cowardly kin, walking proudly.

Behind them, Baili Long, Baili Bo, and others exchanged glances but remained full of dissatisfaction.

However, at this critical moment, even if they were indeed fearful, they had no choice but to follow, for if they didn't, it'd surely disappoint the Old Master, and any future advantages the Baili Family may have wouldn't fall to them!

The indignant clansmen followed Baili Xi and Bai Touying directly to the manor gates; during the walk, Bai Touying had already sent people to retrieve Baili Family's true protector—Chen Longxiang, but afraid distant help wouldn't be enough since the Lin Family had already reached their doorstep!

The group had just exited the manor gates when they saw Lin Lianwei's twelve uniform black Hummers parked on the outside vacant lot.

Then the car doors opened simultaneously, releasing over a hundred imposing big men, dressed in menacing black suits, jumping out.

Just this lineup exerted an oppressive presence, like dark clouds pressing down on the city, suffocating.

Finally, the front Humvee's door opened, Lin Lianwei climbed out in casual attire, followed by an extremely formidable master, yet retaining his restrained aura, Chang Chunweng!
