Under One Person: My comprehension is unmatched.

Chai Yan wandered around the city for a long time but couldn't find any trace of Uncle Xu, so he had to return disappointed.

After returning to the Xu family home, he waited at the door for a long time, but Zhang Yan did not return.

"Brother Zhang, have you found Uncle Xu? Or have you already returned to the inn?"

At this moment, Chai Yan was very anxious. He circled around Xu Bo's courtyard several times and finally decided to go to the inn to take a look.

Of course, in the end he came up empty-handed.

At that moment, he immediately thought of the Ono family.

"Yes, Uncle Xu has definitely disappeared. He must have gone to the Ono family. Brother Zhang must have thought of that too."

"Then why didn't he tell me?"

He tapped his head.

"Chai Yan, Chai Yan, why are you so stubborn? Brother Zhang didn't tell you because he was afraid you'd get hurt."

After saying that, he rushed to Ono's house without stopping, but he stopped halfway there.

"What's the point of me going? What should I do? Should I just not go?"

At this moment, he was caught between a rock and a hard place, and finally, Hu Xianyao's face appeared in his mind.

......

The Hu family has come to the elegant Hu Xianyao Garden today, and many people have gathered there.

In the hall, an old man with a tangled beard sat in the main seat, puffing away on a large pipe.

He was dressed in linen clothes with many patches, and his eyes were fixed on the sky and the ground, making him quite distinctive. This man was none other than Liao Huzi, the most senior shaman.

Knowing that he preferred wine to tea, Hu Xianyao took out her treasured old wine and personally filled Liao Huzi's cup.

After pouring the wine, she retreated to a seat to the side, picked up her pipe, and started putting tobacco into it.

Liao Huzi picked up his wine bowl, drank it all in one gulp, and then looked at Hu Xianyao's pipe and said...

"Xiao Yao, how many times have I told you to quit smoking? How can such a decent girl like this stuff?"

Hu Xianyao exhaled a puff of smoke and spoke like a child.

"Uncle Liao, back when you used to choke me with your cigarettes every day, did you never think of this day?"

"Besides, I'm not a girl anymore."

Liao Huzi was smoking when he heard this and immediately coughed twice, as if he had choked.

"Okay, okay, I won't talk about you anymore."

As he spoke, he poured himself another bowl of wine, drank it down in one gulp, and said...

"I heard you were assassinated by the Japanese last night. Damn it, when have we, the Chuma family, ever suffered such an injustice?"

"Xiao Yao, tell the old man which family it is."

As the largest supernatural force in the northern frontier, Chuma was a force no one dared to provoke before the Japanese arrived. Hu Xianyao's assassination attempt was unprecedented.

After hearing about this from the immortals, Liao Huzi was furious and led his men to the Hu family within a day.

“Uncle Liao, there are only three Japanese families in this area. Which one of them do you think would have the guts to do this?”

Next, Hu Xianyao gave a general overview of the three Japanese factions in the area.

She poured out all the grievances she had been holding in.

Upon hearing this, Liao Huzi's heart skipped a beat. If it were just one company, one could say which one wanted to take the bigger bite.

If the three companies join forces, that's a bad sign.

In this chaotic world, with the government powerless to control things, these small Japanese families must have powerful backers to dare to do such things.

As for who's backing them up, just look at the current situation and you'll understand—it's definitely those bastards from the Japanese samurai's mansion.

But so what? They can't interfere with the affairs of the government now, but these Japanese outsiders dare to mess with the Ma family in the northern border region, so they'll definitely teach them a lesson.

"Then let's clean them up one by one. Xiaoyao, which one do you think we should clean up first?"

Liao Huzi waved his hand and said directly.

Hu Xianyao glanced at the old man sitting at the door and spoke.

"Of these three families, the Ono family is the most active."

"Alright, let's start with that Ono family. I've brought enough men today."

Liao Huzi slammed his pipe on the chair, scattering ashes all over the floor.

“Uncle Liao, this is not urgent. You’ve come all this way, you should at least get some rest for the night.”

“Those Japanese aren’t going anywhere. Besides, we need to think this over carefully.”

Hu Xianyao got up and poured Liao Huzi another bowl of wine, then continued.

"The first thing these three Japanese families did after arriving here was to divide up territory and suppress those small sects. Heh, they really don't take us seriously."

"However, this also shows that they are not completely unrelated, which makes things much easier."

Liao Huzi nodded and began to speak.

"Then we'll split into three groups, and I'll lead one team to Ono's house."

"Xiao Yao, go and stop the Watanabe family. As for the Tamoto family, just send a group of men to check on them."

"As long as they don't make a move, we'll just wait it out. Once they dare to lay a finger on us, we'll show them who's in charge here now."

Hu Xianyao nodded and followed Liao Huzi's instructions.

Just then, there was a loud knocking on the door.

Everyone was taken aback. It was already this late, and someone was still coming to the door? Could it be that someone's child was suffering from a mental illness?

At this moment, the knocking on the door became even louder, as if they wanted to break it down.

"Who is it? Stop knocking."

Hu Xianyao was annoyed by the knocking and simply told the people in the courtyard to open the door.

"Sister Hu, Sister Hu, something terrible has happened! Uncle Xu has disappeared, and Brother Zhang might have gone to Ono's house!"

Chai Yan entered the room, panting, and it seemed as if she shouted these words.

When he saw a courtyard and a house full of people, he was stunned.

After glancing around, he saw Uncle Xu at the door and stammered.

"Uncle Xu, what... what are you doing here?"

Seeing Chai Yan's flustered state, Hu Xianyao frowned and spoke.

"Don't just stand there, explain what you just said that seemed so nonsensical."

After listening, Chai Yan took a deep breath and told Zhang Yan everything about their relationship.

Upon hearing this, Hu Xianyao's beautiful brows furrowed even deeper, and she finally spoke up with a curse.

"That idiot, does he think he can take care of the Ono family all by himself?"

Xu Bo, who had been sitting silently by the door, suddenly stood up upon hearing Chai Yan's words.

"What did you say? Zhang Yan went to Ono's house alone."

He strode quickly to Chai Yan's side, disregarding the Ma family members, and spoke directly.

"Are you sure this is true? I have to go there. I can't drag that child down with me, or I won't be able to die in peace."

Uncle Xu was grateful to Zhang Yan, and he swallowed his pride to beg the Hu family for help because he was afraid of implicating the two children.

Although he knew that Zhang Yan must have some plan targeting these Japanese, he really didn't have the confidence that Zhang Yan could take on the Ono family alone.

At this moment, Hu Xianyao also stood up and looked at Liao Huzi with a questioning gaze.

Liao Huzi was momentarily stunned and didn't react immediately.

Who is this Zhang Yan? He has the audacity to go and cause trouble for the strongest Japanese family here all by himself.

However, he quickly realized what was happening and said to Hu Xianyao.

"Xiao Yao, it seems someone is taking the lead for us, but we, the Ma family, can't let others steal our thunder."

Upon hearing what Grandpa Liao said, Hu Xianyao burst into laughter, a laugh that was absolutely enchanting.
