"Haha! So it's City Lord Qing. I trust you have been well since we last met!" When Guest He saw Qing Hai, he wasn't surprised at all. Instead, he became excited.
Because they had tried everything they could think of but were still unable to open the vault. Furthermore, the key to the vault was in Qing Hai's hands.
Now that his wife and child were in their hands, it wasn't difficult for them to get Qing Hai to hand over the key.
"All these years, I, Qing Hai, have never treated you unfairly. But you actually did such a thing. Aren't you afraid of being punished by the heavens?" Qing Hai reprimanded He Zhongwei.
"Haha! Punishment from the heavens? If the heavens were to punish us, how many people in this world would be able to achieve it? You said you didn't treat us unfairly, but how long have we been helping you? But in the end, we are still inferior to a kid who had only been here for a few months. Do you dare to say that you didn't treat us unfairly? " He Zhongwei laughed before keeping his smile. He looked at Qing Hai and Cheng Yu who was beside him. His heart was filled with unhappiness.
"Could it be because of this?" Qing Hai was stunned as he looked at the other party.
He truly didn't dare to believe that just because he had valued Cheng Yu, these people had betrayed him and even wanted to harm his wife and child. This was too incomprehensible.
"What else could it be?" He Zhongwei said disdainfully.
"Then have you ever thought about why I valued Mr. Hu and neglected you?" Speaking until here, the accumulated anger in Qing Hai's heart exploded.
Without waiting for them to reply, Qing Hai continued. "Ask yourselves. During all these years in my mansion, did you fulfill your responsibilities as a guest?
All the resources you need for cultivation were provided by my mansion. But every time I needed your help, how many of you were willing to help me? Instead, all of you only know how to evade it.
How much have you obtained from me all these years? How much have you sacrificed?
Tonight, such a huge matter had happened. Originally, I didn't want you to leave. But I didn't want you to sacrifice yourself in vain. Therefore, I allowed you to leave.
Why do you think I valued Mr. Hu and not you? Because after you left, Mr. Hu still stayed by my side. You said you wanted more. Do you think you have the qualifications?
What have you done? Not only are you ungrateful, but you also bite the hand that feeds you. I told you to leave, but you captured my wife and child and even wanted all the resources of the City Lord Mansion. Are you worthy? "
The actions of these Foreign Chamberlains had already made him very unhappy. Now that something like this had happened, he wanted to vent all the anger in his heart.
When they heard Qing Hai's words and that Cheng Yu didn't leave, they were flabbergasted. Could there really be someone who wasn't afraid of death in this world? He was willing to give up his life for this little bit of resources?
Qing Hai's words made them a little embarrassed, but even so, they didn't feel that they were in the wrong.
"Humph! Even so, so what? We don't want to talk so much nonsense with you today. Now that we are no longer your residence's guests, let's not beat around the bush.
The world is bustling, all for profit; the world is bustling, all for profit. We don't want to harm your wife and child. As long as you open the treasury and give us the resources inside, we'll be even. We won't harm you or your wife and child. How about it? "He Zhongwei's expression turned ugly when he heard Qing Hai's words. Qing Hai nodded.
However, they wouldn't give up everything just because of Qing Hai's words. They also felt that their actions today were not benevolent enough. But when they thought of the Crossing Tribulation Realm experts had already killed their way into the city, even if they were to do so, these resources would still belong to those people.
It was precisely because of this that they came back. They decided to take these resources away before those Crossing Tribulation Realm experts arrived. This way, they wouldn't have wasted their time staying in Qingmu City.
"You really won't harm our lives?" Qing Hai also knew that the current situation wasn't up to him. When he saw his wife and son's tearful expression, his heart softened.
After all, he wasn't a saint. He was unable to cut off his emotions. Handing over those resources to these people was not a big deal. Because the resources in the treasury was only a part of it. The other part was in his own secret room.
Compared to his wife and child, these people were nothing!
"Of course. After all, we were once the host and guest. However, you must hand him over to us." He Zhongwei pointed to Cheng Yu beside Qing Hai.
"Mr. Hu? What do you want him to do? This matter has nothing to do with him? "Qing Hai's complexion changed. He didn't expect that these people would actually want Cheng Yu's life.
However, he had long determined that Cheng Yu was his most loyal person. How could he hand Cheng Yu over?
"Nothing. We just don't like to see his appearance!" He Zhongwei saw that even in this kind of situation, Cheng Yu still had that indifferent and calm expression. This caused him to be even more displeased.
In his heart, Cheng Yu was a very hateful person. Previously, they had all left. Previously, they had all left, but only Cheng Yu did not leave. This was clearly to make all of them bear the infamy of being ungrateful.
Although when those Crossing Tribulation Realm experts came, Cheng Yu would also be dead. However, since they had met, Qing Hai was not prepared to let Cheng Yu off.
"This is impossible. This matter has nothing to do with him. I will not hand Mr. Hu over to you. I have already promised to hand over all the resources in the treasury to you. I only want to exchange for my wife and child!" Qing Hai shook his head.
When resources were lost, they could be recovered at any time. However, a loyal and devoted talent was extremely hard to come by. Just like now, he had never treated these people unfairly. However, these people wanted to harm him instead.
If he were to hand over such a loyal person like Cheng Yu, with so many people watching, who would be loyal to him in the future?
"Seems like City Lord Qing really thinks highly of Mr. Hu. However, it's a pity. If City Lord Qing is not willing to hand over Mr. Hu, then your wife and child, I can only return you one. Do you want your wife or your son?" Or your son? "He Zhongwei said to Qing Hai, unmoved.
"You … … How can you be so despicable?" Qing Hai said angrily.
"Father! Save me! "Qing Hai's son shouted in fear in his mother's arms.
Qing Hai looked at his wife's face and his son's frightened expression. Both of these people were too important to him. He was not willing to give up either of them.
"City Lord Qing, I will give you one last chance. Are you going to exchange or not? Otherwise, I will have to help you choose. Who do you think I should kill first? " He Zhongwei saw Qing Hai hesitating. He immediately took Elder Tang's sword and moved it forward towards Qing Hai's wife's neck. A bloody mark appeared on her neck.
"No! Can I use myself to exchange for it? Let my wife and son go. I will give you my life and all the resources in the treasury! "Qing Hai saw his wife was injured and immediately shouted anxiously.
"Whoosh!"
