"Qianchou, don't be rude. This is the Patriarch's eldest son, Yue Zhangping. In terms of seniority, he is your uncle." Yue Changgui reprimanded.
"Oh! So it's Uncle. "Yue Qianchou bowed and said," Qianchou greets Uncle. I hope Uncle doesn't blame Nephew for being rude. However, Nephew deeply agrees with Uncle's words. There must be someone coveting my family's wealth. Nephew firmly believes that there must be a mole in the Yue Family, colluding with those villains outside. Otherwise, my younger brother wouldn't have been captured so easily with a few strong subordinates. Uncle, don't you think so? "
He seemed to be extremely respectful on the surface, yet anyone could discern the targeted intent in his tone. It was as if Yue Zhangping was the mole, and it caused the expressions of the surrounding people to become extremely strange. Yue Zhangping's face twitched as he sternly said, "What do you mean by that?"
Yue Qianchou glanced at his father and saw that he had actually turned his head to the side as if he didn't hear anything. This further confirmed his guess and he couldn't help but laugh, "Heh heh! Uncle, don't misunderstand. It's nothing. I just want to tell everyone as the Yue Family's eldest son that since I'm back, anyone who dares to stretch their claws into my family must be prepared to be beheaded. Even if it's the Heavenly Emperor, heh heh! I won't let a single one of them go. "At the end of his words, the chill in his voice was unmistakable.
"You …" Yue Zhangping still wanted to say something but was stopped by his father, the Yue Family's Patriarch. He only heard him say with a smile, "Eldest Brother is right. If it's really a family thief, we can't let a single one of them go."
Yue Qianchou smiled and saluted him, "Patriarch is indeed worthy of being the Patriarch, truly wise."
"Master, Master." Fu Qing hurriedly walked over and said, "There are three people outside barging in. They say … they say they are Second Young Master's ticket holders."
Hearing this, the members of the Yue Clan immediately started whispering to each other. Everyone knew that the so-called owner of the ticket was naturally the kidnapper. To actually dare to barge into the Yue Clan in broad daylight, his guts were truly too great. Yue Changgui's expression changed, and he hurriedly walked towards the courtyard. Yue Qianchou shook his head slightly. His father was anxious to save his son and had lost his usual calmness. Thereupon the group of people followed him.
In the main hall courtyard, three burly men saw a group of people coming, but they still stood there with their heads held high. Sure enough, they had the style of kidnappers who wanted money more than their lives.
Yue Changgui calmed himself down, walked over and cupped his fists, "I am Yue Changgui, may I know which mountain the three heroes are from?"
A rough-looking man on the left cupped his fists and said, "Well said! Seeing that Lord Yue is a man who understands the rules, I won't waste any more time. " As he spoke, he pointed at the middle-aged man with a gloomy expression and said, "This is our Octagonal Stronghold's Second Leader Wang. Today, he's here to compete with Elder Yue's faction. Gong against gong, we'll be counting the tickets face to face." The so-called counting tickets was to let the victim confirm whether the kidnapper was his man or not. Then, the kidnapper would confirm whether the victim was sincere in redeeming the ticket. If there was no sincerity, then the hostage might be killed.
Yue Qianchou slightly narrowed his eyes. Heh! Octagonal Stronghold again. This daddy almost forgot to settle the score with you guys. Today, you guys came to remind me. Very good!
"Second Leader Wang." Yue Changgui cupped his fists.
The Second Leader Wang in the middle did not say a word and only nodded to the man on the right. That man took out a jade pendant from his bosom and handed it to Yue Changgui. When the latter saw the jade pendant, his body swayed and he almost lost his footing. Obviously, it was his son's possession.
The man on the left chuckled and said, "If Lord Yue has verified it, please bring us to see if the 10,000 taels of gold has been prepared."
Yue Qianchou coldly snorted and unhurriedly walked over and said, "A bunch of reckless fools. 10,000 taels of gold, and they still dare to ask for it." As he spoke, he supported his father and walked straight back and said, "Fu Qing, find a chair for Master to sit down and rest."
The Yue Family's group of relatives were somewhat stunned, but since it was none of their business, no one said anything. In the crowd, Yue Zhangping's face flashed with a trace of a sneer.
His condescending look immediately angered the two bandits. They immediately reached for the sabers on their waists, wanting to teach Yue Qianchou a lesson. However, the Second Leader Wang quickly held them down. When he saw Yue Qianchou carrying a long sword on his back and a bag on his waist, his pupils fiercely contracted.
Fu Qing brought over a chair as instructed. Yue Qianchou helped his father sit down and said softly, "Father, don't worry for the time being. Leave this matter to me to handle." Yue Changgui grabbed his wrist. Yue Qianchou lightly pushed him away and shook his head, indicating that he didn't need to worry. He turned back to stare at the three bandits and coldly said, "10,000 taels of gold, what can you do if I don't give it to you?"
As soon as these words came out, the Yue Family's relatives immediately whispered to each other. Wasn't this forcing the kidnappers to kill the hostages? The two bandits who were about to pull out their sabers immediately pulled out their sabers again. Second Leader Wang once again held them down and took a deep breath. He didn't dare to be sure before, but now that he heard the other party say such words, he was almost convinced.
Second Leader Wang took a few steps forward and bowed to Yue Qianchou. He said in a respectful tone, "Senior is an expert in the Cultivation World. It was our fault for offending Senior today. We also don't dare to ask Senior for the 10,000 taels of gold. We will definitely return the people we kidnapped safely. We won't dare to be careless. Please let us go, Senior."
The two bandits were immediately stunned. The usually arrogant Second Leader would actually say such humble words. They wouldn't believe it even if they were beaten to death. The Yue Family's relatives were also dumbfounded. How did the kidnappers suddenly apologize? Among the crowd, Yue Changping had an angry expression.
Yue Qianchou sneered and said, "I didn't expect you to be so perceptive. You actually know about the Cultivation World. I can let you go, but you have to answer a question first. If I am satisfied with your answer, I will let you go. Otherwise, if you make me unhappy, I will definitely raze your Octagon Village to the ground."
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. The Octagon Village was a place that even the government couldn't raze to the ground. Yue Qianchou's words were too arrogant. However, what did they mean by the Cultivation World? Everyone was confused. Yue Changgui, who was sitting on a chair, once again sized up his son's proud back.
"Senior, please ask." Second Leader Wang bowed respectfully.
"Tell me who the Yue Family is colluding with. Don't tell me you didn't, or the consequences will be very serious." Yue Qianchou said lightly. Yue Changping, who was in the crowd, trembled. He looked at his father, the Clan Leader.
"This …" Second Leader Wang had a difficult expression on his face. The rough-looking subordinate behind him walked out, cupped his fists, and said casually, "Young senior, you don't have to make things difficult for our Second Leader. We can't talk about this. We have our own rules. If we tell you who the client is, then how will our Octagon Village be able to maintain its reputation in the future? How will we be able to continue living in the underworld …"
Before he could finish his words, they heard the sound of a sword ring. Everyone saw a flash of light in front of them, and then the bandit lost his voice on the spot. His head was tossed high into the air, separated from his shoulders. Warm blood spurted from the severed head, and when the blood ran dry, his body swayed and fell to the ground. That light transformed into a flying sword and circled around Yue Qianchou a few times before returning to its scabbard.
"Murder …" Everyone cried out in shock. Yue Qianchou turned around and glanced at them. He said coldly, "If you want to die, then scream as loud as you can." Just this sentence alone caused everyone to fall silent. They had just witnessed the flying sword kill someone. Who would dare to go against his words? A certain father and son were shivering in fear.
"Brother!" The remaining two bandits cried out in grief. One of them hugged the dead body while Second Leader Wang hugged his head. He looked at Yue Qianchou and shouted angrily, "There are rules in the cultivation world. We are not allowed to meddle in worldly affairs. Why did you kill us mortals?"
Yue Qianchou sneered, "Hmph! You seem to know quite a lot! How strange! You kidnapped my younger brother, and now you're trying to reason with me? What kind of logic is that? Forget it, I won't be able to get anything out of you. I believe you have a First Leader, right? I'd better go to the Octagon Village myself! "
As soon as he finished speaking, nearly a hundred cold glints shot out from the storage pouch. Two mournful screams rang out, then stopped abruptly. The cold glints disappeared into the red, and the thick smell of blood spread out along with a bloody mist. The Yue Clan's relatives and servants had never seen murder like this. Those who were braver had only seen beheadings at the entrance of the food market. They couldn't bear to watch any longer and turned their heads away to retch …
