"Use some strength. What's the point of me buying you!?"
The steward took a puff from his hookah as he grumbled unhappily. He had sensed that someone had entered but he did not think too much of it. He had been a steward of the Miscellaneous Chores Department for centuries and it was a lucrative job. Usually, outer-sect disciples who came here to work would treat him respectfully. He was already accustomed to being treated like a lord.
"Steward Song …" Qingwen called out.
"Who is it?" The middle-aged steward put down his hookah and glanced at Duanmu Qingwen. Following that, he shot a glance at Yi Yun before comfortably lying back in his chair. He took a deep puff of his cigarette and languidly said, "Come again tomorrow. I don't care about matters now!"
It was likely another outer-sect disciple who had come to pull strings. If there were no sufficient benefits, he wouldn't even bother speaking, much less interfere.
Yi Yun looked coldly at the middle-aged man and said, "Your surname is Song? Are you from the same family as Song Bowen? "
Yi Yun knew very well that there were many family clans with long heritage in the Myriad God Ridge. When a family clan developed, they would naturally favor their descendants, allowing the family clan to take root in the Myriad God Ridge and gradually develop.
"Who are you?" The middle-aged man looked unhappily at Yi Yun. He did not know Yi Yun but after seeing Duanmu Qingwen, he had a vague guess.
"This is my young master, Yi Yun," explained Duanmu Qingwen.
"Ah? Young Master Yi? " He hurriedly got up with a grunt and beamed. "So it's Young Master Yi. You should have said so earlier. I'm Song Yuanping. Look at me for failing to recognize you. Young Master Yi, please have a seat."
Song Yuanping nodded and bowed. His act of switching from arrogance to deference, coupled with the fact that he was putting on an act, left Yi Yun especially disgusted. "Was it your Song family that transferred Zuoyan Xiaoyu away?"
"Ah … Zuoyan Xiaoyu." The middle-aged man's eyes darted around as he said with an obsequious smile, "How can that be? The transfer of a maidservant is decided by the Miscellaneous Chores Department headquarters. How can the Song family interfere? Previously, the Miscellaneous Chores Department felt that Zuoyan Xiaoyu was clumsy and that she would spill her food. Such a maidservant was not worthy of serving Young Master Yi, so they naturally sent her away. Now, we have a new maidservant. She's beautiful and talented. She's also obedient. Young Master Yi, look at how fresh she is. Isn't she ten times better than Zuoyan Xiaoyu?"
Having worked in the Miscellaneous Chores Department for so many years, Song Yuanping was a smooth and slick person. He knew very well that most men liked the new and hated the old. Giving Yi Yun a delicate lass that he could do whatever he wanted with her was a great boon for him. As for Zuoyan Xiaoyu, she was like an ant. Yi Yun would probably forget her in less than two days. Therefore, Song Yuanping did not take the matter of transferring Zuoyan Xiaoyu to heart.
He did not care about Zuoyan Xiaoyu's outcome. So what if she was a little girl? However, speaking of which, the girl was rather tender. If not for his lack of status, he would have kept her for himself. That would have been a great experience.
Song Yuanping's mind flashed with such thoughts as he maintained a beaming smile. Song Yuanping was considered a wily old fox. Even though he was facing a person of much higher status than him, Yi Yun, he did not mind. As long as he remained stubborn and played Tai Chi, coupled with a flattering smile, he would naturally be able to dismiss Yi Yun.
"Oh? Now that you mention it, it does seem to make sense. "
Yi Yun nodded. Just as his voice faded, he suddenly punched out.
"Peng!"
With a loud explosion, Song Yuanping cried out tragically. His body flew backward like a rubber ball as the recliner behind him was smashed to smithereens.
The maidservant who was massaging his legs jumped in fright. She nearly believed that she was about to die, but she was not injured in such a violent explosion.
"I … I … Cough, cough …"
Song Yuanping's dantian was punched by Yi Yun. His mouth was covered in blood and he was in a daze. Now, he saw Yi Yun's afterimage.
He never expected to encounter such a malefic existence. Before he could even finish his speech, Yi Yun had already attacked.
"I left your dantian intact with this punch. The next punch will cripple you. Try me."
Yi Yun was aggressive. He knew that he would offend the Song family, but so what? After all, he had come to the Myriad God Ridge to find Old Snake. Now that he had found Old Snake, Yi Yun did not have to stay in the Myriad God Ridge. This was also the reason why Yi Yun acted without any qualms.
After all, staying in the Myriad God Ridge was only an expedient measure. There was no need for him to suffer in silence while being bullied. He might as well act according to his whims, hoping to have his own way of thinking!
"Don't … Don't attack. Spare … spare me." Upon hearing that Yi Yun wanted to destroy his dantian, Song Yuanping's face turned pale. He knew very well what kind of person Yi Yun was. He would definitely do as he said. He even dared to beat Song Bowen, much less a trivial figure from the Song family like him. It didn't matter if he was crippled!
Yi Yun was the sect master's personal disciple after all. The Song family was not in a position to attack Yi Yun because the sect master was not a member of the Song family!
When the time came, he would become a sacrificial pawn in a power struggle. No one would care about him. Even the Song family would abandon him like a dead dog.
"Zuoyan Xiaoyu has been taken by Song Bowen as a maidservant," Song Yuanping said through clenched teeth. If he were to reveal such a matter and Yi Yun blew the matter up, the Song family would learn of it. He would definitely suffer.
"What? Does he have the guts to do that? Does he have a death wish for a maidservant? "Yi Yun's eyes flared with killing intent." Where's Song Bowen!? "
"He … he has gone out for experiential training. He applied to the sect the day before yesterday and left this morning. He should have already passed through a teleportation array and flown millions of miles away. What I said is absolutely true. There's not a single lie, "Song Yuanping said with quivering lips.
Song Yuanping said with quivering lips. He was afraid that Yi Yun would suddenly attack again, something he could not withstand.
"Out for experiential training!"
Yi Yun's gaze turned cold.
Song Bowen and the lanky youth had applied to go out for experiential training. Song Bowen had yet to recover from his injuries and did not wish to stay in the Myriad God Ridge any longer because of Yi Yun.
They had been smacked in the face by Yi Yun, but they had no choice but to swallow the insult. In the future, they would meet in the personal disciple zone frequently. How could they continue staying there? With the discussion and mockery of others, they could only choose to go out for experiential training!
However, they were indignant to leave with their tails between their legs. They could not deal with Yi Yun, so they vented their anger on Zuoyan Xiaoyu.
From Song Bowen and the lanky youth's point of view, the lass had been extremely arrogant a few days ago because of Yi Yun's backing. It infuriated them so much that they gnashed their teeth.
Now, they could bring Zuoyan Xiaoyu out and ravage her. That way, it would be a form of spiritual victory.
If not, the sense of defeat that Yi Yun had given them would be too strong. It would become a mental demon that could affect their future breakthroughs. By using Zuoyan Xiaoyu to quell their anger, they could at least salvage the situation a little.
As for Yi Yun's anger, they thought nothing of it. First of all, Yi Yun was unfamiliar with the Myriad God Ridge. It was difficult for him to find any news of Zuoyan Xiaoyu. Furthermore, a maidservant that he had only known for a few days was insignificant to Yi Yun. If he could not find her, he would probably forget about her very quickly.
Song Bowen never expected Yi Yun to be so violent with his questions. Furthermore, Song Yuanping was so cowardly. In a blink of an eye, he had revealed Zuoyan Xiaoyu's whereabouts.
"Millions of kilometers …"
Yi Yun's heart sank. How was he to pursue them after flying so far away?
"Which direction did they go in?"
"I … I don't know. I really don't know," Song Yuanping said hurriedly. Song Yuanping hurriedly said. He was just a steward of the Odd-Job Office, so how could he know where the personal disciples would go to temper themselves? In order to prevent hostile sects from harming the personal disciples, such matters were kept absolutely secret. Usually, only their respective masters would know.
"Well done! Very well done!"
Yi Yun burned with rage as he stomped on Song Yuanping's face. Song Yuanping let out a tragic cry like a pig being slaughtered. His facial bones were nearly shattered by Yi Yun's stomp. His facial features were mangled into a mess.
Killing Song Yuanping was meaningless. Song Yuanping was only a dog of the Song family. The ones who wanted to harm Zuoyan Xiaoyu were Song Bowen and the lanky youth. No matter how he dealt with Song Yuanping, it would not appease Yi Yun's anger. Instead, it would give the Song family an excuse to suppress him.
"Song Bowen, I, Yi Yun, rarely get disgusted by trivial figures, but you have done it."
Having practiced martial arts for so many years, Yi Yun's opponents were often much stronger than him. Occasionally, he would meet opponents from the younger generation, but they were all geniuses that could look down on the world!
Song Bowen was nothing. Four days ago, he had been easily beaten by Yi Yun, but now, he had thoroughly disgusted Yi Yun.
"Young Master, what do we do …" Only then did Duanmu Qingwen realize the severity of the matter. Although she and Zuoyan Xiaoyu were competitors, they were both girls and maidservants. She could not help but empathize with what Zuoyan Xiaoyu had experienced. To a girl, it was something unimaginable.
Yi Yun took a deep breath. He could not think of a solution at that moment. He could not sit idly by and watch Zuoyan Xiaoyu be destroyed by Song Bowen. However, it was obvious that Song Bowen and the lanky youth would be out on an experiential training for a very long period of time. They were deliberately avoiding him, so it would be difficult to find a way to kill them!
