“The worst-case scenario is a war with the Blood Demon Pavilion.” Su Qian smiled slowly. “Although 1 don’t want to cause trouble for nothing, if the Blood Demon Pavilion wants to cause trouble for me, they have to consider whether it’s worth it.”

Her influence extended beyond the Feng Lin Auction House. Even though she did not want to cause trouble, it did not mean that she was afraid of the Blood Demon Pavilion. She wasn’t intimidated. At most, she would use her trump card. In any case, as long as it was for her daughter, nothing else mattered much to her.

Qian Rong couldn’t help but gasp when she heard Su Qian’s words.

Once the war broke out, there would be many people involved. Just thinking about this made Qian Rong break out in cold sweat. From the bottom of her heart, she felt that only their master could say such terrifying words so calmly.

“Take good care of Ji Wanwan. That girl is quite interesting.” After saying that, Su Qian took the Qilin Celestial Vine and was about to leave.

“Master, please wait a moment. 1 still have something to report.” Seeing Su Qian turn to look at her, Qian Rong lowered her voice and said, “Master, the Ximen family is gone.”

“What?” Su Qian couldn’t react for a moment, “What do you mean by gone? How did that happen?”

“Last night, the Ximen family suddenly caught fire. The fire instantly engulfed the entire Ximen family. The fire was monstrous, causing the 86 members of the Ximen family to die in the sea of fire…” When Qian Rong said this, she couldn’t help but reveal a fearful expression.

“What are the guards doing?” Su Qian frowned in confusion.

In such a large residence, there would be night guards watching every day to remind them to be careful of candles and fire. There were also servants and guards on duty at night. Even if there was a real conflagration, it shouldn’t have burned everyone in the Ximen family to death.

“According to our investigation, it is said that all the guards of the Ximen family have disappeared. In addition, that flame doesn’t seem to be an ordinary flame, but a demonic beast flame. Ordinary people can’t put it out, which is why not a single person from the Ximen family escaped.” Qian Rong glanced at Su Qian weakly, “Master, I feel that there’s something fishy about this matter. Think about it, even if it’s a demonic beast flame, the Master Ximen, the elders, and even the Ximen family’s ancestors are all so powerful. How can they not be able to escape…”

Su Qian looked at Qianrong and blinked her eyes. “Sometimes, it’s enough to understand certain things in our hearts. There’s no need to make everything explicit.”

“Yes.” Qian Rong understood her master’s intention and continued, “Regarding the Ximen family’s remaining assets, if nothing goes wrong, it will definitely be taken over by the branches of the Ximen family. Great Steward Gu suggests fighting for it. 1 wonder what Master plans to do.”

“The Ximen family’s branches are just insignificant individuals. They can’t manage such large family assets and businesses. Let Ah You keep an eye on the situation first. When the Ximen family’s branch has almost squandered the assets, we can just take it over at a low price.” Su Qian knew that all the prestigious families were the same. The members of the main family were the most outstanding. In contrast, the branches were composed of individuals who lacked the qualifications to remain in the main family. Now that all the main members of the Ximen family had died overnight, even the members of the branch family wouldn’t be able to cause any significant disturbance.

In a single night, the Ximen family collapsed like a building. The number one aristocratic family in the imperial capital came to an end.

Qian Rong nodded and could not help but ask nosily, “But I’m really curious.. Who did this? How much hatred did he have with the Ximen family?”
