Noticing Qi Yan's expression, Xue Zimu immediately understood why Qu Fei's attitude became frightened and uneasy. Before when Qi Yan was staring at him, Xue Zimu has thought the other was like a stern teacher, now Qi Yan's expression became more fierce. Almost he looked like he could kill the hostage in the next second, Xue Zimu only felt a little fearful.

No wonder Qi Yan's ruthlessness caused a great clamour of rumours about his abusiveness. This face would frighten others. Qi Yan doesn't have to do anything, just by putting on this frightful look would be enough credible proof for the gossiping masses.

However, because the other party was not as fearful as the rumours say, Xue Zimu except for being startled at first, soon become at ease. After all, in the past he supported Yao Yue's 'blessings', he also faced those genuine devils, who play illegally with human lives. When facing Qi Yan who only look a bit fierce, he wasn't too afraid.

So Xue Zimu, after being slightly dazed, he took the initiative to greet the other party: "......Hello, I am Xue Zimu."

Seeing Xue Zimu was not afraid of him, Qi Yan's expression eased a little. He nodded, and similarly gave a self-introduction: "Qi Yan."

Qi Yan's voice was relatively low and deep, making his entire person appear more composed and prestige. The number of people who heard his voice wasn't many, but Qi Yan was now the focus of the entire audience. Almost everyone saw him nodding towards Xue Zimu and talked to him. For a moment, the sound of inhalation and disbelief spread throughout the entire banquet hall.

Xue Zimu heard a few words from Yao Yue and the Qu Family around him, who oddly turned to look them. He wasn't a part of Jing City's upper-class circle and, didn't know much about Qi Yan's rumours. That is, in his past life Xue Lin added colour and emphasis to these to him, therefore he didn't have any awareness when Qi Yan approached him.

Jing City's upper-class circle was known to everyone, the Qi Family's Second Young Master Qi Yan was a prodigy who could never say a line of 'superfluous words'. Here the 'superfluous words' were not the ones an average person could understand, rather other than Qi Yan speaking during necessary times at work, he rarely opened his mouth. He doesn't exchange conventional greetings or chat with others, also doesn't socially interact. Because of this excessive keeping of one's gravity, Qi Yan has the nickname 'tyrant'.

Of course, in front of familiar friends and family, Qi Yan wasn't this taciturn. But in front of outsiders, unless it was required, Qi Yan won't speak a single word more.

The people coming to this banquet knew of this point, and precisely because they understood it, they were surprised that Qi Yan would talk to Xue Zimu. After being awed, everyone's mood became different, such as Yao Yue being pleasantly surprised, and Qu Fei and Mrs Qu panicking.

Qi Yan's action made Qu Fei and Mrs Qu, and increased their original sense of crisis towards Xue Zimu. Mrs Qu promptly and slyly pushed Qu Fei, exposing his face to Qi Yan.

Qu Fei wanted to marry Qi Yan, even if it is not out of feelings, he was very satisfied with Qi Yan, especially his appearance. But when actually facing the other party, Qu Fei discovered this nickname 'tyrant' was not an exaggeration. Qi Yan's cold and stern expression made Qu Fei completely have no inclination to appreciate his pleasing looks. Instead, he was trembling with fear and almost afraid to breathe.
