Chapter 1086

The warship flew under the clouds of the Dark Star for a long time and finally slowly descended, ultimately landing on a huge square.

At the square, those who had received the news had long been waiting here. Standing by the window, Wu Yi saw familiar faces below waving their hands and greeting this side. She couldn’t help but exclaim excitedly： “It’s Uncle Hao An and them！”

Yu Feng grinned and laughed： “Our trip can be regarded as having worked hard and achieved great merits. Naturally, Senior Hao An will come to welcome us in person. Miss, there won’t be a shortage of rewards after we go back, right？”

“You only know about rewards！” Wu Yi gave him a white look and chuckled： “Don’t worry, the ores mined this time are all scarce things. There will be no shortage of benefits for you.”

Hearing what she said, the warriors gathered nearby suddenly cheered.

Accompanied by a dull sound, the warship landed steadily on that square. The cabin door slowly opened. Led by Wu Yi and closely followed by Chang Qi, a large group of people, like the soldiers who had returned victorious from a battle, full of honor and victory, walked down from the warship with their heads held high.

The old man named Hao An quickly stepped forward to greet them. Behind him followed several warriors of the Heike family. When they got close, they cupped their hands and saluted： “Miss has had a hard journey. Everyone has had a hard journey！”

“It’s what we should do. Uncle Hao An is being too polite.” Wu Yi had a smile on her face.

“The fact that the young lady can return safely makes this old man finally put down the heart that has been hanging all the time.” Hao An had a scared expression on his face. Everyone knew how dangerous it was to drive a warship into the star field. Wu Yi had been gone for a year or two, and many people who cared about her were worried day and night. Hao An was one of them. He greeted warmly： “Young lady, please go back to the family quickly. The family head and several elders are very worried about you. If they see that you are safe and sound, they will definitely be very happy.”

Wu Yi pursed her lips and smiled, shaking her head and saying： “It’s not urgent. First, move the ores on the warship down, and then it’s not too late to go back.”

Hao An’s face froze slightly and quickly converged. He forced a smile and said： “This matter doesn’t need the young lady to preside over. Naturally, there will be someone to deal with it.”

Wu Yi stood there and thought for a while, then nodded and said： “Alright.”

As she said this, she shouted to the back： “You all help transport the collected ores back.”

“Yes！” Yu Feng and the others responded loudly.

“There’s no need. We can do it ourselves.” A sudden voice suddenly sounded. The moment she heard this voice, the smile on Wu Yi’s face disappeared suddenly, replaced by a thick vigilance and disgust. Her beautiful eyes looked aside.

In the direction of the source of the sound. A group of martial artists were rapidly approaching here. The leader was a short young man. The young man’s height was appalling, only reaching about Yang Kai’s chest. Although the man was short, he walked with a swagger, looking extremely arrogant. The martial artists following him also had a complacent expression, and the gaze looking at this side was full of undisguised contempt.

“Xie Hongwen？” Wu Yi’s black and white pupils shrank, and she shouted sharply： “Why are you here？”

“Why can’t I be here？” The young man named Xie Hongwen sneered. “Although this is the square of your Heike family, it is also the territory of my Shadow Moon Palace. I can come whenever I want. Well, Sister Wu Yi has worked hard this time. I heard that you went deep into the star field this time and collected a lot of rare ores.”

“What does it have to do with you？” Wu Yi suddenly became vigilant.

“How does it have nothing to do with me？” Xie Hongwen laughed loudly and pointed at the warship： “The ores inside now belong to my Shadow Moon Palace. Didn’t anyone tell you？”

Wu Yi’s face suddenly turned pale, and Yu Feng and the others also had a ferocious expression and became extremely angry.

Wu Yi turned her head and looked at Hao An, expecting him to give an explanation. Hao An had a look of guilt on his face. After stuttering for a long time, he sighed and said： “Miss, let’s talk about it when we go back. The head of the family will give you an explanation.”

“Explanation?” Wu Yi sneered. In an instant, she understood the whole story. Her once-hot heart turned cold, and she said coldly, “To collect these ores, more than a hundred of us went there, but only half of us came back. Does the family know what kind of danger we have encountered? Do they know how many waves of attacks from the Black Rock Beasts we have faced? Do they know that we almost couldn’t come back and almost total defeat? For whom are we desperately collecting these ores? Now that we are returning with a full load, why can’t we enjoy the fruits of our hard work? Can we only get an explanation?

A series of questions left Hao An speechless. The ashamed look on his face became even stronger, as if he were eager to find a hole to drill into.

Not only was Wu Yi extremely angry, her delicate body trembling, but also the more than fifty warriors behind her were equally filled with hatred. The gaze they looked at Xie Hongwen with was almost like fire, and the power of all of them was surging dark.

Xie Hongwen remained motionless, and the same disgusting smile was still on his face. He looked at Yu Feng and the others provocatively, as if he couldn’t wait for them to take action and make the matter bigger.

“Miss, this is the decision of the family！” Hao An finally managed to squeeze out a few words after holding back for a long time. He looked at Wu Yi with a sincere face and almost pleaded, “Please, miss, put the overall situation first！”

Wu Yi was not a little girl who didn’t understand anything. Although she knew that the family made such a decision out of helplessness, she was even more aware that if she didn’t compromise at this time, it would only bring greater disasters to the people behind her. Her two pink fists were tightly clenched, and the anger on her face turned into helplessness. She sighed heavily： “I see.”

“Miss！” Yu Feng shouted in a deep voice, as if he had something to say.

“Go back！ Your rewards will not be less. Even if the family doesn’t give them, I will！” Wu Yi glared at him fiercely.

Yu Feng’s eyes were about to split, and he lowered his head dejectedly.

A gentle applause sounded, and Xie Hongwen, who had been watching the show, laughed loudly: “I’ve long heard that sister Wu Yi is good at managing her subordinates. Now that I see it, it really lives up to its reputation. So many big men are obedient to you, a little woman. Brother admires!

“Who is your sister？ And who are you the brother of？” Wu Yi looked at him with disgust. “Xie Hongwen, let me tell you, the ores on this battleship are soaked with the blood of my Haike family’s people. They were mined by us with our own lives. I hope you won’t have nightmares at night and won’t be haunted by vengeful souls when you take them back！”

Xie Hongwen’s face turned cold, but he soon laughed again： “Wu Yi, I know you’re not convinced, but so what？ Blame it on your family being too weak. Well, one day your family will take the surname Xie, and you will also become a woman with the surname Xie. I put my words here, just wait and see.”

After saying that, he laughed loudly and waved his hand： “Go and move the ores. Anyone who dares to stop will be killed without mercy！”

The warriors behind him were all menacing, filing in one after another and entering the warship.

“Go back！” Wu Yi didn’t want to see his ugly appearance. With a cold and beautiful face, she led dozens of warriors and left in another direction.

After working hard for a year or two, going deep into the star field and experiencing hardships to collect the ores, but just after returning to You’an Star, they fell into the hands of others. This was a kind of torture and destruction for everyone.

The atmosphere in the team was extremely oppressive. Yang Kai clearly saw that their eyes were red, which was a crazy look. He believed that just now, as long as Wu Yi gave an order, these people of theirs would attack that Xie Hongwen desperately to protect the results of their hard work.

Yang Kai had originally planned to bid farewell to Wu Yi when they arrived at You’an Star, but now it really wasn’t a good time. It wasn’t good to leave without saying goodbye. Helplessly, he could only follow in the team and move forward.

After thinking about it, he touched next to Yu Feng and asked in a low voice： “Does that Xie Hongwen have a feud with your young lady？”

Yu Feng’s anger hadn’t subsided yet. Hearing this, he looked at Yang Kai with bloodshot eyes and shook his head. “There’s no enmity. It’s just that a few years ago, he wanted to marry the young miss, but was rejected by her. Since then, he’s been furious and holds a grudge, constantly targeting our family.”

“Is that guy very powerful？”

“What kind of thing is he?” Yu Feng was very disdainful. “If it weren’t for the protection of the Shadowmoon Palace, I could kill him at any time！ But his father is an important figure in the Shadowmoon Palace, so he can be so unscrupulous！ And our Heike Family is just a peripheral force of the Shadowmoon Palace. No matter how much he bullies us, no one will come to uphold justice… Why are you asking so many questions, kid? You really have a strong curiosity. I warn you, don’t fight with me for Wu Yi, or else I’ll beat you until your mother doesn’t recognize you！”

Yang Kai was stunned and sneered. “Don’t worry, I won’t fight with you. Well, I have many women.”

Yu Feng’s eyes almost popped out, and he regarded Yang Kai as a godsend, looking him up and down. “Really? With your character, there are many women with you. What do you use to protect them?”

Yang Kai shrugged his shoulders and didn’t say much.

Yu Feng, as if he had discovered a new continent, excitedly ran to the front and walked side by side with Wu Yi, looking mysterious. No one knew what he was saying.

A moment later, Wu Yi looked back at Yang Kai, her beautiful eyebrows furrowed, and she had a face full of incredulity.

Yang Kai’s face was ashen, knowing that Yu Feng had sold him out without hesitation. But after this incident, Wu Yi’s mood seemed to have improved a little. Her tense little face gradually relaxed, and there was even an imperceptible smile on it.

The manor of the Heike Family was not far from the square where the warship was parked, only about fifty miles away. In a short while, everyone arrived at the manor.

Naturally, Wu Yi went with Hao An and Chang Qi to meet the important figures of the family and ask them for an explanation. The rest of the people poured into the manor in a rush, scattered in all directions, and quickly disappeared without a trace. No one knew where they had gone.

Only Yu Feng and Yang Kai were left looking at each other in dismay.

Yu Feng scratched his head and said sullenly, “Well, the young lady said to ask me to entertain you well, but I’ve thought about it and I don’t know how to entertain you. I don’t have any experience in this area！”

Yang Kai laughed and said, “You go ahead and do as you please. I’ll just take a walk.”

“Then whatever. I’m just free. Well, don’t go to the inner manor. That’s where the main family lives. You can just walk around the outer manor. If you’re really bored, there’s a Tianyun City two hundred miles away from here. You can go there and have a look.”

“Okay.” Yang Kai nodded.
