Cats and dogs!
"So it's that beggar that the young miss picked up. Go, go, go. Since you've recovered, leave our Zhao Mansion. You still want to see the young miss? Don't you know who you are? "
The leading guard looked at Ning Qi with disdain and then impatiently waved his hand.
"Let's go."
Ding Feng tugged at Ning Qi again. The guards of the Zhao Mansion were basically hired by the Head Chief. The Head Chief was cold and ruthless, and these guards were just like him. If they accidentally angered these people in front of them, they would probably be beaten up. It would be a small matter to injure their muscles and bones, but they would probably be killed directly. For the Zhao Mansion, killing a few people was nothing at all!
"What's going on? Don't they know that girl Zhao Ruo is about to get married? How could they allow random people to approach this place! Hurry and drive these two away. The Hidden Cloud Sect's Young Sect Master has personally come to propose marriage! "
Suddenly, a beautiful middle-aged woman walked over with a large group of people. She saw Ning Qi and Ding Feng standing at the entrance of Zhao Ruo's courtyard and immediately shouted.
"Second Madam!"
The guards jumped in fright. Then, the leading guard's eyes flashed with a cold light. He waved his hand and slammed his palm towards Ning Qi's chest.
Bang!
Kacha!
Two sounds rang out at almost the same time. The guard sucked in a breath of cold air. He endured the pain and took several steps back. He looked at Ning Qi with disbelief. His right hand had been broken at the joint! From start to finish, the other side hadn't even made a move!
The beautiful woman called Second Madam was frightened and screamed, "Quickly catch him!"
"Second Madam, this is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"
Ding Feng frantically tried to explain, but how could the guards that the Second Madam brought listen to his explanation? They all fiercely rushed towards Ning Qi. After several breaths of time, dozens of guards were lying on the ground, wailing in pain. Ding Feng looked at Ning Qi with a dumbfounded expression, a look of disbelief in his eyes. These guards all had blood vitality that soared to the heavens, and the highest cultivation was at the third stage of Bone Forging. Yet, they couldn't even defeat him?
"What's going on!?"
A loud shout came from the distance. The Second Madam awoke from her shock. When she heard this voice, it was as if reinforcements had arrived. She quickly turned and shouted, "Master, there are assassins!"
Assassin?
Zhao Zhuo's expression changed slightly. The Head Steward behind him flew up and landed next to the Second Madam. He looked at Ning Qi coldly.
Standing next to Zhao Zhuo was a young man in his late twenties. His face was filled with arrogance, and his body was brimming with vitality. Behind him were two old men, who were currently sizing Ning Qi up with narrowed eyes.
"Zhao Family Head, why would an assassin come in?"
The young man said indifferently. A hint of displeasure flashed through his eyes. He looked at Ning Qi with a hint of suspicion because Ning Qi did not look like an assassin at all. Who would send an assassin to the Zhao Clan, a major trading clan in Hundred Mountain City, in broad daylight?
"Young master Xu Wen, no matter who this person is, he has come to the wrong place today."
Zhao Zhuo smiled.
"Head Chief, kill this brat!"
The Second Madam looked at the Head Chief and said sternly.
"Second Madam, don't be anxious."
The chief steward smiled and looked at Ning Qi with confidence. "Who are you? Did you sneak into the Zhao family for the money?"
Money?
Ning Qi's eyes flashed with a trace of nostalgia. After leaving the Qin Tang Empire, he had rarely touched these things. The worst he could get was spirit crystals.
"Head Chief, Second Madam, this is a misunderstanding!"
Seeing that even Zhao Zhuo had come, and that the person walking next to Zhao Zhuo was likely the Hidden Cloud Sect's Young Sect Master, Ding Feng's heart was filled with bitterness. He could only forcefully explain himself. Whether the other party would listen or not, there was nothing he could do.
"Doctor Ding? Great! Our Zhao residence has raised you for so long, and now you are colluding with outsiders to cause trouble in our Zhao residence? "
The Head Chief's eyes flashed with a cold light.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding. This young master was saved by the Young Miss. He just wanted to thank the Young Miss in person. He is definitely not an assassin!"
Ding Feng explained.
Saved by the Young Miss?
The Head Chief's expression changed slightly. He carefully sized up Ning Qi. Indeed, Ning Qi's appearance was similar to the one he saw that day.
However, Ning Qi was in a sorry state at that time. Now, he was full of heroic spirit. He looked even taller and mightier than Young Sect Master Xu Wen. Thus, the Head Chief did not immediately recognize Ning Qi.
"Young Miss Zhao saved him?"
Xu Wen's eyes turned cold as he looked at Zhao Zhuo.
Zhao Zhuo calmly sized up Ning Qi. Then, he smiled at Xu Wen and said, "Young Master Xu Wen, my Ruo 'er is kind-hearted. I heard that she saved a beggar on her way back. However, I have never seen him before, so I didn't recognize him."
"Humph!"
Xu Wen coldly snorted and looked at Ning Qi. When he discovered that Ning Qi's appearance and demeanor were faintly superior to his, a trace of jealousy flashed in the depths of his eyes.
"So it was you. Since my Young Miss saved you, you shouldn't have injured so many of our Zhao residence's guards. You are repaying kindness with enmity!"
The Head Chief sneered.
When Ding Feng heard this, he thought that it was over.
"Head Chief, don't talk nonsense with him. Kill him!"
The Second Madam shouted.
"Yes! Second Madam. "
The Chief Steward smiled and walked towards Ning Qi step by step. With every step he took, he left a deep footprint on the ground. When the surrounding guards saw this, their faces revealed a trace of excitement as they looked at Ning Qi with a hideous smile.
"Zhao family head, your Head Chief's cultivation is not bad. It seems that he is already at the sixth-stage of Bone Forging. In the future, he might break through to the seventh-stage. At that time, he will be able to hold his own in Hundred Mountain City."
Xu Wen said with a smile that was not a smile.
"Young Master Xu Wen overpraises me."
Zhao Zhuo smiled, feeling quite satisfied in his heart. He was a businessman, and when he had money, he had bought several secret cultivation methods and pills to cultivate his martial arts. But his talent was limited, and no matter how many resources he had, he could only reach the seventh-stage of Bone Forging. In Hundred Mountain City, he could only rank in the top ten. As for the Head Chief, he hadn't taken any pills and was already at the sixth-stage of Bone Forging. Once he broke through to the seventh-stage, the Zhao family's strength in Hundred Mountain City would rise to another level. For a businessman like Zhao Zhuo, this was a very profitable transaction.
Step by step, the Head Chief perfectly displayed his sixth-stage Bone Forging cultivation. His robes billowed, and there seemed to be a terrifying power condensing within his body. When he arrived in front of Ning Qi, everyone except Ding Feng revealed a look of anticipation.
"The Zhao family is not a place where any random cat or dog can come and cause trouble!"
The Head Chief sneered and sent a palm towards Ning Qi.
