Not long after the family servant went in, an old man walked out of the Xia Mansion. This old man was a little thin, but his wrinkled face was full of shrewdness.
"Hello, may I ask if you are a friend of my Young Master?" The housekeeper came in front of Xing Jue, cupped his hands, and asked politely.
"Yes, Fourth … Uh … Is he home?" Xing Jue was so excited that he almost blurted out the name of Four-eyed. Fortunately, he was quick to react and held it back.
"That's great, that's great! My Xia Family is saved!" After confirming Xing Xing's identity, the housekeeper suddenly said in ecstasy.
"What's wrong with your Young Master? What happened? "Xing Jue could tell that something was wrong with the housekeeper's words, so he asked anxiously.
"Young Master, please follow me first. I'll tell you in detail on the way." As the old man spoke, he grabbed Xing Jue's wrist and hurriedly dragged Xing Jue into the Xia Mansion.
At that moment, there were over twenty people standing in the inner courtyard of the Xia Manor. Among these twenty people, all of them were Martial Masters. Moreover, the one standing at the front was an old man with a goatee. He had reached the level of a Martial Arts Grandmaster. In the middle of these people stood two middle-aged men and a young man. This young man was Four-eyed.
"Xia Sheng, either hand over the deed or hand over your son. It's your choice." The old man with a goatee squinted his eyes and said.
"Father, we can't give them the deed. Let me go with them. I don't believe that they will dare to do anything to me." Four-eyed said to the middle-aged man beside him. The middle-aged man was Four-eyed's father, and the woman was his mother.
"No, Xia Sheng, you can't hand Yu 'er over!" Four-eyed's mother hurriedly tugged at Four-eyed's father's clothes. On that slightly aged face, tears were already falling like rain.
"Take the deed." After a moment of silence, Four-eyed's father slowly took out a deed from his bosom.
When the goateed old man saw the contract, a sinister smile immediately appeared on his face as if his scheme had succeeded. He said, "That's right. It's just a land deed. How can it be as valuable as your son's life?"
He then walked towards Four-eyed's father. However, just as he was about to take the deed with his withered hand, Four-eyed suddenly snatched the deed and put it in his bosom. He stubbornly said, "The deed is with me. Kill me if you have the guts."
Half a month ago, when Xing Jue had just entered the Cultivation Pavilion for closed-door training, the Xia Clan and the Wang Clan of Magnificent Gold City made a crazy bet in order to compete for a business deal. The stakes were the entire fortune of both clans. In the end, because the Wang Family used despicable means, the Xia Family won.
After that, Four-eyed's father fell seriously ill. Four-eyed's mother sent a letter to Four-eyed. When Four-eyed returned, he was furious. He went straight to the Wang Family and injured the head of the family. In the end, he snatched back his family's deed.
However, in order to prevent the Wang Family from taking revenge, Four-eyed never returned to Yufeng Pavilion. Instead, he stayed at home. As expected, on this day, the Wang Family found these people and forced them into the Xia Residence. They forced them to hand over the deed, which led to the current scene.
"Brat, you're courting death!" Seeing that Four-eyed's deed had been snatched away, the old man immediately revealed an ominous glint. He stretched out his palm, which was filled with dense Martial Qi, and slapped it towards Four-eyed.
"Hmph!" Facing the old man's attack, Four-eyed only snorted coldly. In an instant, his right fist emitted a blazing flame, and he punched towards the old man's palm. This was Four-eyed's most proficient martial skill, the Low Profound Rank Fist of Flame.
"You overestimate yourself!" Seeing that Four-eyed didn't dodge and actually wanted to fight him head-on, a ruthless expression appeared on the old man's face. Following that, an even stronger Martial Qi began to pour into his palm.
"You overestimate yourself!" Seeing that Four-eyed didn't dodge and actually wanted to fight him head-on, a ruthless expression appeared on the old man's face. Following that, an even stronger wave of Martial Qi began to pour into his palm.
As for Four-eyed, he was also sent flying by the old man's palm. In the end, he crashed into a stone pillar in the courtyard. Immediately, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face became deathly pale.
Although the old man had only casually used a palm, and Four-eyed had used a Profound Rank Martial Skill, he was still heavily injured by the old man. This was the huge gap between a Martial Master and a Martial Master that couldn't be made up for.
"Brat, if you don't want to die, then hand over the deed." The old man walked over to the heavily injured Four-eyed with a sinister smile on his face. It was as if he was determined to obtain the deed.
"Yu 'er, give it to him. Even if we don't have the deed, our Xia family will not be destroyed!" shouted Four-eyed's father as he looked at Four-eyed's pale face. Although the deed was very important to him, no matter how important it was, it wasn't as important as his son's life.
"Father, this is your entire effort over the years. I won't give it to them." The four-eyed man smiled at his father. His unswerving gaze caused his father to tremble. Following that, a gratified smile appeared on his tired face. "Father, this is all of your hard work over the years.
Four-eyed's personality was originally very cowardly. Because of this, Four-eyed's father had allowed him to cultivate in order to train him. After all, Four-eyed was his only son. In the future, he would still need Four-eyed's support for the family business. Ever since Four-eyed started cultivating, he had unexpectedly displayed an extraordinary talent for cultivation. This made his father very happy.
However, even though his cultivation improved, Four-eyed's cowardly personality didn't change at all. In the end, Four-eyed's father had spent a large sum of money to buy an entry letter to the Outer Pavilion of Yufeng Pavilion. This was all so that Four-eyed could leave the family and train in a difficult environment. Now, his son had finally gotten rid of his cowardly personality and had become a man of indomitable spirit.
"Yu 'er, even if we lose all of our family property, I'm satisfied as long as I have you. Give it to him." Four-eyed's father said to Four-eyed with a gratified expression.
Four-eyed's heart warmed when he saw his father's gratified expression. A tear actually flowed from the corner of his eye.
Four-eyed's father had been extremely strict with him since he was a child. He had always scolded him for being useless. Ever since he was a child, he had experienced what it felt like to break a father's love. Four-eyed had once thought that his father didn't like him.
However, today, he finally realized that he was wrong. After forcefully wiping the tears from the corner of his eye, a resolute smile appeared on his pale face. At this moment, he made a decision. He would not let his father's life's work go to waste even if he died.
Four-eyed suddenly raised his head and furiously said to the old man in front of him, "Old thing, kill me if you have the guts. As an Outer Pavilion disciple of Yufeng Pavilion, if you dare to kill me, you won't have an easy time either."
"Hahaha, Yufeng Pavilion? Do you think I don't know that you're a disciple of Yufeng Pavilion? However, since I dared to come here, it means that I don't care about Yufeng Pavilion at all. "After hearing Four-eyed's words, the old man suddenly laughed wildly. He said disdainfully.
"Kid, since you're so eager to die, I'll fulfill your wish today." After laughing wildly, the old man's expression suddenly became ferocious. Then, he slowly raised his right fist, and an extremely terrifying power spread from his palm.
He no longer cared about how Four-eyed's parents begged for mercy. Instead, he fiercely aimed at Four-eyed's head.
"Bang!" Accompanied by an ear-piercing explosion, a powerful energy ripple also spread out, and a large amount of dust filled the entire Inner Courtyard.
However, when the dust gradually dissipated, people were shocked to find that at this moment, there was a young man in a blue robe standing in front of the old man. The old man's powerful punch had actually been firmly held by this young man. Moreover, on that handsome face, there was actually a relaxed smile. This young man was Xing Jue.
"You don't care about Yufeng Pavilion, do you? Then today, you'll change your mind. "Xing Jue looked at the old man in front of him and said coldly. Then, he immediately turned around and ruthlessly swept a whip kick towards the old man's head.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the old man hurriedly retracted his arms and used them to block his head. "Bang!" Xing Jue's kick landed on the old man's head. The old man was even forced back a few meters by Xing Jue's kick. Only then did he stabilize his body. Shaking his already numb arms, he cautiously looked at Xing Jue. This was because he felt a dangerous aura from Xing Jue's body.
At this moment, a skinny middle-aged man walked out from the crowd. He clapped his hands and said to Xing Jue with a smile, "This, this young friend, you're very strong. I believe there must have been some misunderstanding between us. Why don't you listen to my explanation?" And he was the head of the Wang family, Wang Buren.
"Speak." Xing Jue glanced at him and said disdainfully.
After seeing the disdainful look in Xing Jue's eyes, Wang Buren's face trembled a little. However, he still maintained his smile and said, "Hehe, this young friend, since you are a disciple of Yufeng Pavilion, I believe you are not an unreasonable person. It is not my Wang family that wants to steal the Xia family's property. Rather, it is the Xia family that stole the Wang family's property. Today, we only want to take back what belongs to us. As long as they are willing to return the deed to us, we will leave immediately."
"Oh, so that's how it is." Xing Jue said as if he had suddenly understood.
After seeing Xing Jue's expression, Wang Buren's face also revealed an expression of wild joy. He hurriedly said, "This young friend is indeed a reasonable person. As long as they return the deed to me, then I, Wang, will pay for all the Xia family's losses."
"Hey, you don't have to be so polite. I definitely cannot return the deed to you. Furthermore, even if you want to leave today, you won't be able to." Xing Jue glanced at Wang Buren and said with a smile. However, under that smile was an incomparably strong killing intent.
