"Mr. Ba, I wonder why the King of Qin summoned me this time? I hope you can tell me something." Tang Si wore a kind smile, but inside he was already feeling uneasy. After all, this matter was of great importance. If handled improperly, it would very likely cause the King of Qin to be dissatisfied with the Tang family, which would affect the subsequent distribution of benefits.

Upon hearing this, Naba raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a sneer of contempt: "Hmph! Does the prince have to report to you before doing anything?" After saying that, he seemed to feel that he had wasted too much time here. His face sank, and a terrifying pressure belonging to a powerful immortal on land suddenly erupted.

In an instant, the Tang family felt as if they were trapped in an icy cellar, struggling to breathe, as if they were being held down by an invisible mountain, unable to move at all. The intensity of this pressure far surpassed the aura emanated by the Tang family's ancestors.

Faced with such a powerful pressure, Tang Si's face turned extremely ugly, and his eyes were full of uncertainty. He secretly groaned inwardly, not expecting this Ba Ye to be so powerful. It seemed that the matter of the King of Qin summoning him this time was not that simple.

However, at this moment, Ba Ye was too lazy to talk to them anymore. He just waved his right hand lightly, as if grabbing something from the void. The next moment, Tang Xiaosan's body flew towards Ba Ye involuntarily.

"Tang Xiaosan, come with me!" Ba Ye grabbed Tang Xiaosan by the scruff of the neck and lifted him up like a chicken. Then, without even turning back, he shouted to Tang Si, "Master Tang, let's say goodbye!" Before he finished speaking, he flashed away, taking Tang Xiaosan with him, and disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.

Tang Xiaosan desperately twisted his body with all his might, trying to break free from the hand that was holding him tightly like an iron clamp. However, no matter how hard he tried, Ba Ye's palm remained motionless as if it had grown roots.

"Dad... Dad... save me!" Fear took over Tang Xiaosan's heart. He screamed at Tang Si desperately at the top of his lungs, his voice becoming sharp and piercing because of extreme fear.

The people standing next to Tang Si saw this scene and immediately wanted to take action, but were stopped by Tang Si. Puzzled expressions appeared on their faces, and they couldn't help but turn to look at Tang Si and ask, "Master?"

Tang Si, however, remained calm and composed, his gaze fixed on the abducted Tang Xiaosan in the distance. He slowly shook his head and said, "With your strength, you are no match for this man. Don't act rashly. Follow them and see what the King of Qin intends to do!" To Tang Si, Tang Xiaosan was merely an insignificant son among his many, his life or death immaterial to him. He was more concerned with Li Xingyun's true intentions and whether this would damage the Tang family's reputation.

Not long after, Ba returned to the yamen, carrying Tang Xiaosan like a gust of wind. With an effortless flick of his arm, Tang Xiaosan fell heavily beside Widow Zhang like a rag doll. Then, Ba, expressionless, bowed to the people sitting in the hall and reported, "Your Highness, Tang Xiaosan has been brought here."

Tang Xiaosan was in a daze. His eyes widened, his head swiveling like a rattle, his gaze anxiously scanning his surroundings. Clearly, he was bewildered and confused by his current surroundings and situation, desperately wanting to understand what was happening.

"Hey my, this prince is really powerful! He was able to bring this guy Tang Xiaosan here without anyone noticing." An exclamation came from the crowd.

"That's right. Look at it, it seems like it was done with the use of force. Wow, the King of Qin is really tough!" someone else echoed.

"Haha... In my opinion, it's just a pretense. The Tang family is such a powerful force, don't you have any idea? Does this prince really dare to provoke the direct descendants of the Tang family? Anyway, I will never believe it even if you kill me." An old man shook his head, his face full of disdain.

For a moment, the surrounding people were whispering and discussing the matter. Some people firmly believed that Li Xingyun was an honest and upright official who would handle the matter fairly; while others had deep doubts and believed that this was just a farce.

Just as everyone was arguing, a sudden, crisp "slap" sound suddenly rang out, instantly capturing everyone's attention. It turned out to be Li Xingyun slamming the wake-up stick in his hand onto the table. Immediately afterwards, his face darkened, his eyes widening as he stared at the still-bewildered Tang Xiaosan in the audience, and he began to scold him mercilessly.

"Tang Xiaosan, Zhang is suing you for insulting her daughter. Is that true?" Li Xingyun frowned, feeling helpless and speechless about the name. The Tang family, after all, was a prestigious and reputable clan, but how could they choose names so casually? The head of the family was actually named Tang Si, and the one before him was even named Tang Xiaosan. Aren't they afraid of attracting criticism and being ridiculed? How could they be so careless! Could it be that they weren't afraid of being pestered by their own mother?

At that moment, there was a crisp "bang" as a wake-up stick slammed onto the table, startling the drowsy Tang Xiaosan so much that he shuddered all over. He opened his eyes blankly, his gaze still a little dazed, and slowly raised his head to look at Li Xingyun sitting in the hall. However, surprisingly, facing this majestic scene and the esteemed Prince Qin, Tang Xiaosan not only showed no intention of kneeling or greeting, but instead arrogantly pointed his finger at Li Xingyun and loudly demanded, "Are you the Prince Qin?"

At that moment, Tang Si and a group of his clansmen hurried over. As they approached the crowd, they overheard Tang Xiaosan's disrespectful words, and a sense of foreboding washed over them. Tang Si's face drastically changed, and he quickly reached out to push aside the onlookers, desperately pushing forward to prevent the situation from escalating.
