: Onslaught of the arrogance of the Zi Huo clan
Since Fatty Qu had already replied, Sima You Yue could not say anything and followed them upstairs.
The waiter brought them to a private room. It was huge and could seat at least twenty over people.
"Sit." Sima You Yang told everyone to take a seat before introducing everyone. "This is the Huo family's Huo Zi Yan, this is his sister Huo Zi Jiao. These two are my sect brothers, Sima You Ze and Sima You Yi. These few are Ximen Yue, Wei Zi Qi, Ouyang Fei, Fatty, Bei Gong Tang and this little child is Tu Tu. Oh, where's brother Halcyon?"
"He had something on so he had to leave for a few days." Sima You Yue nodded at the few of them in reply.
Huo Zi Yan faintly replied a bit and the others directly ignored her.
Huo Zi Jiao pouted unsatisfactorily, saying, "Big Brother You Yang, how could you just invite anyone you please? This makes the room feel too crowded."
After she said this, the atmosphere in the room became a bit stiff. Sima You Yue had not wanted to eat with them from the beginning, so she felt really uncomfortable after hearing these words. She stood up and said, "I think it's better for us to go outside and eat after all. Thanks very much to Young Master Sima for your good intentions."
"Hey hey hey, don't be like this. You've already come, why are you leaving!" Sima You Qing pulled on her and said.
Huo Zi Yan glared at Huo Zi Jing and cupped his hands at Sima You Yue and the others, saying, "My little sister is used to being arrogant and willful, I ask for Young Master Ximen not to take offense."
Seeing that the other party had spoken thusly, Sima You Yue could not say anything else so she sat back down again.
"Huo Zi Yan, why do I feel that this name sounds really familiar?" Fatty Qu said.
"You don't even know my Brother, you must be a country bumpkin!" Huo Zi Jiao looked disdainfully at Fatty Qu.
"Huo Zi Yan is the talent of the Huo Clan that is as famous as Big Brother You Lin, one of the Four Great Geniuses." Sima You Qing said.
"Right, I remember now. I've heard someone mention it the last time." Fatty Qu said as if he just realised. He completely disregarded what Huo Zi Jiao said.
Sima You Yi and Sima You Ze both liked Huo Zi Jiao a lot, so they naturally ignored them as well when they saw that she did not like Sima You Yue and the others.
Sima You Yi asked, "I wonder where you all are from that you don't even know about the talent of the Huo Clan? How did you meet my Older brother and the others?"
Their words were dripping with disdain, as if determining that they came from a small unknown area.
"We came from another kingdom." Wei Zi Qi said, "We met brother You Yang at the teleportation array in Linchuan City."
"So this is the case. I was just saying that it was impossible for you to be acquainted with the Sima Clansmen!" Huo Zi Jiao said.
These people followed up with each other to talk down about Sima You Yue and the others, enraging everyone. But they did not retaliate for the sake of Sima You Qing and Sima You Yang.
Little Tu sat in between Sima You Yue and Bei Gong Tang and stretched forth a hand to pat You Yue's shoulder, saying, "Big brother, don't be angry. You've said before that even if a dog bites you, you can't bite a dog back."
"Pfft-"
Everyone laughed out loud when they heard out Little Tu said. Wasn't this calling the other party a dog!
"You stupid brat, what are you saying?" Huo Zi Jiao slapped the table and shouted at Little Tu.
Little Tu was not afraid of her and glanced once, saying, "I wasn't even talking about you, why are you so angry? Could it be that, older sister, you feel this way about yourself?"
"You spoilt brat, I will take the place of your parents today to punish you!" Sima You Ze was sitting right beside Sima You Yue, who leaned across Sima You Yue, wanting to hit Little Tu, but his hand was grabbed by Sima You Yue.
"Does my younger brother need an outsider like you to punish him?!" After she spoke, she pushed him away forcefully and Sima You Ze was pulled to the ground.
"You Zi, how could you hit Little Tu!" SIma You Qing stood up and berated him.
Sima You Ze crawled up from the ground and glared hatefully at Sima You Yue, saying, "You dare to hit me? You, backwater bumpkin, dare to hit me! Do you know who I am in the Sima Clan?"
Sima You Yue glanced at him faintly before turning to Sima You Yang and saying, "It looks like not everyone in your Sima Clan is like you all. It will be better for us to eat outside. Take care."
After she spoke, each and every one of them left before giving him a chance to reply.
