Chapter 2524
by“Old man, really have nothing to say？” Yang Kai asked with a smile, looking at Old Fu.
Old Fu had a sullen face and didn’t say a word. He was an old man and shrewd. How could he fall for Yang Kai’s trick? If he really spoke again, wouldn’t the young lady be slapped in the face again?
Yang Kai turned his head again and looked at the red-clothed girl： “What about you？ Do you have anything to say？”
Tears streamed down the face of the red-clothed girl, and the pain on both cheeks was like a burning fire. How dare she say anything? When she heard this, she just shook her head like a rattle.
“Since you have nothing to say, then get out of here！” Yang Kai suddenly sank his face and snorted coldly.
When Old Fu heard this, he was like being pardoned. He didn’t dare to say a word. With a flash of his figure, he came to the side of the red-clothed girl, activated his Emperor Yuan to envelop her, picked up the soft whip that had fallen on the ground, and rushed out like lightning.
When they reached the door, he turned his head, his eyes full of resentment and venom, and coldly stared at Yang Kai.
His strength was inferior to Yang Kai’s, so he didn’t dare to speak out and threaten, but he was unwilling to leave in such a sorry state. He could only glare and leave a meaningful signal.
Over there, Zhang Ruoxi also didn’t stop them at all, but just quietly watched the old and the young leave.
After they disappeared, Zhang Ruoxi walked to the other side of the house, crouched down and looked at the girl named Xiao Ling’er and said, “Little sister, don’t be afraid. The bad guys have been beaten away.”
There were still tears on Xiao Ling’er’s face. Perhaps it was because Zhang Ruoxi had stood up for her and her grandfather before. At this moment, she didn’t have the slightest fear. She just blinked a pair of big eyes and curiously stared at Zhang Ruoxi, as if curious how this sister was even more powerful than her grandfather.
The old foreman also trembled and stood up, and bowed and said, “Thank you, little brother and young lady, for your help. This old man is extremely grateful.”
If Yang Kai and Zhang Ruoxi hadn’t suddenly come here today, he would definitely have been conscripted by that girl. It didn’t matter much for him to enter the ancient land. Anyway, he had come and gone so many times, and he had great confidence that he wouldn’t encounter life-threatening danger. But if he left, there would be no one to take care of Xiao Ling’er. How could he feel at ease？
The old man is too polite. It was they who were too bullying.” Zhang Ruoxi smiled slightly and didn’t take credit.”
The old class leader sighed and said, “This matter is actually that the old man has implicated the two of you. I haven’t asked the two benefactors for your names yet？”
He has lived in the desolate city all year round, and his eyesight is naturally not bad. He knows that the girl in red must have a great background. Yang Kai and Zhang Ruoxi have stood up for him like this and offended the girl in red to death. I’m afraid the other party won’t let it go so easily, so he feels very sorry in his heart.
Yang Kai smiled slightly. He didn’t answer his words, but said, “Old man, little Ling’er seems to be seriously ill. You should settle her first, and this place can’t be lived in anymore. It’s better to leave as soon as possible. We won’t bother you anymore.”
As he spoke, he winked at Zhang Ruoxi, and the two of them walked out together.
Although Yang Kai came here mainly to ask this old class leader to come out and take him into the ancient land, now that such a change has occurred, the original plan will not work.
The old man still has a sick little granddaughter who needs to be taken care of. Yang Kai can’t let the old class leader leave little Ling’er alone, right?
However, even without this old class leader leading the way, Yang Kai is confident that he can enter the ancient land, but there may be some twists and turns on the way.
He simply didn’t mention the matter of asking the old class leader to lead the way, so as not to make him embarrassed.
“Grandpa…” Suddenly, a weak shout from little Ling’er came from behind.
Immediately after, the old foreman suddenly shouted loudly： “You two, stop！”
Yang Kai turned around and looked at him.
The old leader said, “Little brother, you want this old man to lead you to the ancient land, right？”
People who come here to find him are all here to ask him to lead the way to the ancient land. The girl in red is like this, and Yang Kai and Zhang Ruoxi must be the same. He has no relatives or friends, and there is no way someone would come here to visit him.
There is no need to hide this. Yang Kai nodded and said, “That’s right.”
The old leader said, “Then could the two of you wait for this old man outside the passage to the ancient land for one day? One day later, this old man will definitely go there to find you and lead you into the ancient land！”
Yang Kai raised his eyebrows and smiled, saying, “I appreciate the old man’s kindness. However… the old man should first take care of Little Ling’er.”
The old leader touched Little Ling’er’s head and said, “This is Little Ling’er’s intention. I can’t disappoint her.”
Yang Kai furrowed his brows and said, “But if you follow me into the ancient land, how will Little Ling’er be settled？”
The old leader said, “I have lived here for so many years and have a bit of connections. Little Ling’er can naturally be settled in a safe place.” Pausing for a moment, he then continued, “This old man has nothing of value and has nothing to thank the two of you with. Just consider this as a little token of gratitude from this old man. I hope little brother will not refuse.”
Since the other party had said so much, Yang Kai naturally couldn’t say anything more. He could only nod and say, “Alright, then I’ll thank Old Man Ban first. Ruoxi and I will wait for you at the entrance of the ancient path tomorrow.”
“Then it’s settled. You two take care！” The old leader slightly cupped his hands.
Little Ling’er suddenly said crisply, “Big brother and big sister, be careful. Grandpa said it’s very dangerous inside. You must come back alive！”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ruoxi smiled and said, “Alright, Little Ling’er also needs to take good care of her body and grow up quickly！”
Little Ling’er nodded heavily. Her originally pale face due to illness seemed to have a little more blush at this moment.
After making an agreement with Old Class Leader, Yang Kai directly left the desolate city with Zhang Ruoxi and headed towards the direction of the ancient land. It took an hour to find the entrance of the ancient land.
After finding a quiet place nearby, the two sat cross-legged. Yang Kai took out the jade slip given to him by Pi San and carefully studied the map of the ancient land.
There are many crises in the ancient land, with no shortage of powerful beasts and natural restriction traps. Even a strong Emperor Venerable Realm expert may not be able to come out unscathed if they enter. Although Yang Kai’s strength is not bad, he doesn’t overestimate himself. So it is always necessary to make more preparations.
Moreover, he also wants to find out from this map if there is any place where Xiao Xiao may be hiding.
If he can find Xiao Xiao on the periphery of the ancient land, that would be the best. But if he can’t find it, Yang Kai will definitely have to venture into the interior of the ancient land. It is even more dangerous than the periphery.
……
“Kill, kill, kill, kill them all！” On a desolate hillside a hundred miles outside the Wild City, the girl in red gritted her silver teeth, her face filled with ferocity and venom, chattering non-stop, her anger as if tangible, igniting her entire being.
From childhood to adulthood, when had she ever suffered such a loss, let alone been slapped in the face in public.
Although she was severely frightened at that time and didn’t even have the courage to speak, after reaching a safe place, humiliation and anger welled up together, making it unbearable for her. The anger was pent up in her chest, almost making her vomit blood.
If this hatred is not avenged, how can one be a person？
While gnashing her teeth and cursing, she held the soft whip in her hand and continuously lashed at the two Martial Artists at the Third-Order Dao Source Realm.
These two Third-Order Dao Source Realm experts, after all, had cultivation bases and came from top-notch sects. They were also first-class experts outside, but when whipped by this girl in red, they didn’t even dare to dodge, let alone circulate their Source Power to resist. They could only grit their teeth and stand in place.
With each lash, the two of them had their skin torn and flesh lacerated, blood flowing, and their clothes torn.
The eyes of the two were also blazing with rage, but this anger was not directed at their own young lady, but at Yang Kai.
They felt that if it weren’t for Yang Kai and Zhang Ruoxi, how could they have been beaten by the young lady.
This is all Yang Kai’s fault.
Elder Fu stood aside, looking on with horror in his heart, fearing that the young lady would lash the whip at him in a fit of rage, and not daring to offer any words of persuasion.
He was a powerhouse at the Emperor Venerable Realm. If he was really whipped by the young lady, he would have no face to show others in the future.
Fortunately, the young lady seemed to still have the intention of giving him some face. Although she was almost out of her mind with anger, she did not punish him. However, the soft whip in her hand became heavier and heavier with each stroke, making those two Dao Source Third Realm cultivators suffer unbearably and have to cast a pleading gaze towards Old Fu.
As soon as Old Fu turned his head, he pretended not to see, which made those two bodyguards curse inwardly with anger.
After venting continuously for a long time, the girl in red seemed to be tired from whipping. Panting, she plopped down on the ground. Her clothes were soaked with sweat, and her graceful figure could be faintly seen.
But no one dared to appreciate such a beautiful scene. Old Fu had been keeping his eyes downcast, and the two bodyguards had been whipped half to death at this moment. They were standing there trembling, as if they would fall down at any time.
“Old Fu, send a message back to the palace and quickly gather people to come over！” The girl in red suddenly spoke.
Old Fu was shocked and said in surprise： “Miss, what do you want to do？”
The girl in red sneered again and again, gritted her teeth and said, “What do I want to do？ What can I want to do？ Of course, it is to catch that pair of adulterers and adulteresses. I want to skin them, eat their flesh, and drink their blood. I want them to die！”
Old Fu said, “Absolutely not！”
The girl in red was furious and said, “What’s not possible? You don’t even have the courage to fight with others. Do I still count on you to avenge me！”
Old Fu was so ashamed by the girl in red that his face turned red, but it was also true. Under the deterrence of Yang Kai, he didn’t even have the courage to take action.
Nevertheless, he still persuaded, “Miss, before we went out, the master gave instructions that this trip was mainly for traveling and tempering your character. You must not bully others by relying on your power. If the master knows the truth of this matter, will you still have a chance to go out of the palace in the future？ Have you forgotten what happened three years ago？”
When Old Fu mentioned the incident three years ago, the girl in red seemed to recall something and couldn’t help shivering, with a look of fear on her face.
Three years ago, she also went out to travel once. She just made a small mistake and bullied a few warriors who couldn’t get on the stage by relying on her identity. As a result, the next day, her father sent someone to arrest her and directly locked her up for three years.
Three years, a full three years. Staying in a room less than twenty feet in circumference every day, far away from the hustle and bustle and prosperity outside, it was simply not a human life.
Finally managed to get out and be able to go out freely. If she is caught and brought back by her father again, I’m afraid it won’t be just three years.
