Rebirth in Another World: The Ultimate Legend

Ouyang Kuishan's men conducted a thorough search of Qingsi Courtyard. They were like wolves and tigers, rampaging through the courtyard. Their expressions were ferocious, their movements rough, ransacking every room and leaving it in a mess.

Some of the men kicked open the door roughly, cursing as they went: "Search carefully, don't miss a single corner!"

Some forcefully pulled back the covers, their eyes wide open as if trying to see through the bed.

Qingli watched from the side, her face growing increasingly grim. She gripped the hem of her clothes tightly with both hands, her eyes filled with anger and helplessness. She thought to herself, "Ouyang Kuishan, you are so unreasonable and domineering. I will settle this score with you sooner or later." But she dared not speak up to stop it and could only grit her teeth and endure it all.

"What are you doing? Is there no law anymore?!" a disturbed guest shouted angrily.

"Stop talking nonsense and get out of the way!" The Black Wolf Gang's henchmen shoved the guests rudely, their faces full of impatience and ferocity.

"Hey, don't touch me!" The guest stumbled as he was pushed and almost fell to the ground.

Some of the subordinates got into heated arguments with the guests, and some even came to blows. For a time, the Qing Si Courtyard was in complete chaos.

"Stop!" Ouyang Kuishan shouted, but there was little intention to stop him in his eyes. "Let's take care of business first and find Xiao Jinzhi first."

His men then toned down their behavior a little, but they still remained arrogant and domineering.

During the search, they also smashed many decorations, vases, tables, and chairs. "Clang!" A beautiful vase was smashed to pieces.

Qingli's heart ached so much that she cried out, "These are all my hard work! Ouyang Kuishan, you will pay for this!" She secretly vowed to herself.

"Boss, we haven't found any trace of Xiao Jinzhi." A subordinate ran over to report to Ouyang Kuishan, his face showing a hint of fear.

Ouyang Kuishan's face was terribly gloomy, his brows were furrowed, and his eyes were filled with resentment and anger.

Qingli secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but her face still showed anger. "Gang Leader Ouyang, now that you've searched, shouldn't you give me an explanation? My Qingsi Courtyard has been ruined by you, and the losses are considerable."

Ouyang Kuishan snorted coldly, "Consider this a favor I owe you, and I'll make it up to you in the future. But if I find out you're colluding with Xiao Jinzhi, don't blame me for being ruthless." With that, he led his men away.

Not long after Ouyang Kuishan left Qing Si Courtyard, a maidservant beside Qing Li whispered, "Master, are we just going to let this person leave like this?"

Qingli glared at the maid and said in a low voice, "Now is not the time to fight him head-on. We'll settle this score later."

After Ouyang Kuishan left, Qingli hurriedly apologized to the guests in the courtyard. With a face full of apology, she bowed slightly and said, "Distinguished guests, I am truly sorry to have startled you. All your expenses today will be waived by Qingsi Courtyard. I hope you will understand."

Although the guests still harbored resentment, their expressions softened slightly upon hearing that the meal was free.

At this moment, in a secluded corner of the Qing Si Courtyard, Xiao Jinzhi was hiding in a secret compartment, barely daring to breathe. The sounds of the search had made her heart leap into her throat; her palms were sweating with nervousness, and she prayed in her heart that she wouldn't be discovered. Only when she heard Ouyang Kuishan leading his men away did she relax slightly.

Xiao Jinzhi crawled out of the hidden compartment, her face pale. "That was close, I almost got discovered."

She knew she had to find Lin Yu and the others as soon as possible to discuss the next steps.
