True to their expectations, there were people rushing to the Su Residence the following day. Qin Feng had barely begun to eat his breakfast when he spotted the people of the Residence rushing about madly. And was accosted by an anxious Ye Honghua and her sisters before he could finish his meal.

"They are here! They are here!" she cried when she rushed to the pavilion where the trio from the Shu Kingdom were enjoying their food, "The ones who are behind this have arrived in Chestnut Town! They are making their way to the Su Residence now! And there is a large crowd following at their heels!"

Li Changhai shot to his feet when he heard that. But froze when he saw how Qin Feng and Lin Liushui were just nodding back at the girls in acknowledgement. Neither of the pair seemed overly concerned about what they had just heard. In fact, Lin Liushui even took another sip of tea! It was after he set down his teacup that he smiled and waved a hand at Ye Honghua.

"Ah. In that case, you lot should head back to your rooms, and get into your Snow Swallow Palace uniforms. Since they are here, they must be intending to demean your Sect for coming here to help out. So it is important that we show the town that you are already here, don't you think?"

"What are you talking about? The enemy are at the gates already and you want us to go and change our clothes? Are you mad?"

Qin Feng clicked his tongue at the girls, and faced them sternly. "No. All of you should change into your Snow Swallow Palace uniforms now, and leave the initial 'greeting of our guests' to Lin Liushui here. He shall accompany the Su Patriarch to the front door, and meet with these people."

Then he turned to the handsome man. "If I am not wrong, they will start kicking up a fuss there at the main door, on the street itself. And will not take even half a step into the Su Family Residence, regardless of what you do. That should make matters clear, that they intend to sweep your Snow Swallow Palace into disrepute. I think you can trust Brother Lin here to delay them, until you are ready to make any appearance?"

This was not the time to let the girls run amok. Not when they still needed to confirm if the enemy was really from the Wuyang Lin Family. So who better to handle that, than Lin Liushui himself? He should be able to tell the difference, after all.

Lin Liushui gave out a soft laugh when he heard Qin Feng's arrangement. Which was exactly what he was hoping for! He simply clasped his hands at the youngest in the team - his way of showing that he appreciated the gesture. Then he rushed off to the front of the Residence without another word. Probably to talk to the Su Patriarch about how to deal with their 'guests'?

The noise from that direction was loud enough that it drew everyone's attention away from the fact that Qin Feng was taking over. But the girls were still not moving, as they continued to glare at the young man.

"That should work, don't you think? Trust Brother Qin here a little bit, won't you? Has he led us wrong so far? Besides, this is the Su Family Residence, so it is only fair that the Patriarch goes out there and state their case."

The last came from Li Changhai, although the belligerent expression on the Second Ducal Prince's face was something new. To Qin Feng, at least. He had never seen Li Changhai put on such a mask before. Not when he was facing his allies.

Was this his way of showing his support?

But Qin Feng pushed all of that aside, and frowned at the hesitating Ye Honghua and her fellow Snow Swallow Palace disciples. "What is this? Are you still hesitating now? If you do not hurry up and change into your uniforms now, you will miss the best time to show up, and slap those bast*rds in the face! Are you sure you want to do that? Think of the humiliation that they have been putting your Sister Su Qing through!"

Ye Honghua seemed a little startled when she heard that. But Qin Feng leaned closer, and whispered into her ear:

"What Brother Lin is doing now is setting the stage for your appearance, so you mustn't miss this opportunity! Change into your Snow Swallow Palace uniforms quickly, and meet us in the front courtyard. I promise you that you will get to see an magnificent sight, when we give you the signal to show up.

"Your appearance will be equivalent to throwing dog sh*t all over the faces of those opposing the Su Family now. I think you will be eager to see that too. Am I wrong?"

Ye Honghua gritted her teeth at him when she heard him, and waved a hand at the girls at her back. From the way that they moved, Qin Feng was rather certain that they were going to be undressing and dressing in a hurry. Of course, he knew from all those times that he had waited for the disciples of the Snow Swallow Palace, roughly how long they would need to get out and into their garments, so he could not help but be a little concerned.

Then he reminded himself that it was Lin Liushui who was holding the line out in front of the Residence. If anyone could delay the confrontation for the half hour that they might need, the handsome fellow should be able to do it without any fuss!

"Well, now that the girls are gone to change, don't you think that it is time that we got out there to support Brother Liushui as well? I doubt that he would be able to hold them off for very long, even with the Su Patriarch there to complicate matters. The resulting argument wouldn't take more than ten to fifteen minutes, don't you think?"

Qin Feng smiled at the Second Ducal Prince when he heard Li Changhai say that. And nodded at the older fellow. "You are correct about that. But we need to wait until the girls are in their uniforms before we make a move, and Lin Liushui knows that. So he will do his best to delay matters until he is certain that they are ready.

"Our arrival at the scene will be enough of a cue, to tell him that the stage has been properly set. So he can start his face-slapping. We shouldn't make an appearance too early, because that would throw his timing off, you see?"
