Chapter 1109
byQiu Yuan thought that when Xu Zhishen arrived in person, he would definitely take action immediately to kill Yang Kai and avenge his young master. How could he have imagined that Xu Zhishen would ask him to fight？
Looking at the young man who was smiling at him with a seemingly profound meaning, Qiu Yuan let out a terrified scream. Under the stunned gaze of everyone, he turned around and ran away.
He simply didn’t dare to fight against Yang Kai because doing so would surely lead to his death, so he made a decisive run.
All around, eyes were popping out. Among the more than twenty people who came, there were not only Xu Family’s martial artists but also a portion from the Hake Family. Apart from Wu Yi looking at Yang Kai worriedly and rapidly thinking about how to resolve this crisis, the others were just watching the show.
But now, they saw the good show, yet it wasn’t what they had expected, which made them somewhat unable to accept.
Even that Xu Zhishen was stunned for a moment. However, very quickly, his expression became even more sinister. With a casual wave of his Saint Yuan, the Saint Yuan condensed into the shape of a rope and swiftly bound up the fleeing Qiu Yuan.
Xu Zhishen snorted coldly again. The rope emitted a bright light, and terrifying energy fluctuations spread out from there. Amid Qiu Yuan’s terror screams, the rope deeply cut into his body.
There was a series of cracking sounds as bones broke. The smell of blood instantly filled the air. With a look of extreme horror, Qiu Yuan seemed to have been relieved. The fear in his eyes gradually dissipated, and along with it, his vitality also vanished, and then he shattered into a pile of minced meat.
His heart had no fighting spirit, and he only wanted to escape. Coupled with the decline in his cultivation level and not expecting that his own clan’s elder would strike so mercilessly, he simply had no time to resist.
“Cowardly as a mouse！” Xu Zhishen growled in anger and frustration. He didn’t understand why Qiu Yuan was like this, but facing a young man with only the strength of the Third-Order Saint Realm and actually fleeing without a fight had really lost all the face of the Xu Family and made the people of the Heike Family laugh at them.
Naturally, he wouldn’t show any mercy.
“Well, this old man will make a move himself！” Xu Zhishen took a step forward and coldly looked at Yang Kai： “This old man wants to see who gave you the guts to oppose my Xu Family！”
His words were meaningful. Several elders of the Heike Family who followed over all frowned and although they were not happy in their hearts, they had no intention of expressing their stance.
If they had any expression, it would mean that the Heike Family was supporting Yang Kai. It might cause a feud between the two families. For an unknown brat, the Heike Family wouldn’t do that.
“Senior Xu, wait a moment！” The elders remained indifferent, but Wu Yi quickly shouted.
Everyone in the Heike Family looked at her with some dissatisfaction. Xu Zhishen even sneered and looked at her： “Girl, do you have something to say？”
“Wu Yi, this has nothing to do with you.” Before Wu Yi could speak, an old man in a yellow shirt winked at her.
Wu Yi acted as if she didn’t see it. She looked at Yang Kai worriedly and then said loudly： “Senior Xu, Yang Kai is my friend, and I know he is not someone who likes to cause trouble. Is there some misunderstanding in this？”
“He doesn’t like to cause trouble? Then is it my Xu family’s people who cause trouble?” Xu Zhishen’s expression turned fierce. “Misunderstanding? Seriously injuring Tianze and turning him into an idiot is also a misunderstanding? Girl, you might as well tell this old man. What kind of misunderstanding is this? If you can’t explain it clearly, even if you are from the Heike family, this old man will not let it go easily！”
“Brother Xu, don’t bring up my Heike family. This has nothing to do with us！” The old man in the yellow shirt snorted, and his dissatisfaction with Wu Yi and Yang Kai grew even stronger in his heart.
Wu Yi gritted her teeth and said, “Senior, as far as I know, last time it was Xu Tianze who brought people here to harm Miss Yang Yan, so Yang Kai made a move to fight back, right？”
She had already heard the general process of the matter from the people of the Xu family when she was in the family, but there were many doubts and full of loopholes. Not to mention how a martial artist at the Third-Order Saint Realm like Yang Kai could seriously injure Xu Tianze under the protection of Qiu Yuan, just say why Qiu Yuan didn’t take revenge for their young master at that time？ Instead, he had to return to the Xu family and bring so many powerful helpers？”
Wu Yi thought this was a play self-directed and self-acted by the Xu family, and as for the purpose, she hadn’t figured it out yet.
And Xu Zhishen’s move to kill Qiu Yuan also made her very confused.
But anyway, she couldn’t just sit back and watch Yang Kai be bullied.
“So what if it is？” Xu Zhishen snorted coldly. “Tianze is the young master of our Xu family. It’s a blessing for that little girl that he took a fancy to her. If she doesn’t know how to cherish it, it’s fine, but she actually dares to resist. She simply doesn’t put our Xu family in her eyes.”
“What kind of reasoning is this？ Just because your Xu family takes a fancy to someone, does that person have to obey？” Wu Yi was also a little angry. It wasn’t for anything else, just because Yang Yan was a woman and she was also a woman！ She couldn’t stand those evil young masters who bullied others relying on their power and bullied men and women. There were many innocent girls in this world who were ruined because of people like Xu Tianze.
Not to mention whether Xu Tianze was beaten into an idiot by Yang Kai, even if he was, Wu Yi would only be happy that he was acting on behalf of heaven.
Xu Tianze’s expression turned cold, and his brows furrowed. He looked at the old man in yellow shirt and said, “Brother Ba, does your Heike family insist on interfering in this matter？”
Ba Qingyan also had an angry expression. Hearing this, he glared at Wu Yi and said, “Get out of here. There’s no place for you to speak here！”
Wu Yi gritted her silver teeth and said nothing.
Ba Qingyan then looked at Xu Zhishen and said lightly, “Brother Xu, feel free to do it. Old man still said that this matter has nothing to do with our Heike family. This young man is just an unknown person that Wu Yi met outside. He is not a member of our Heike family.”
That’s good. I don’t want any friction between the Xu family and your Heike family either. Since Brother Ba said so, then I won’t be polite.” Xu Zhishen nodded in satisfaction. The forces of the two families are comparable, but if the Heike family really wants to protect this young man, Xu Zhishen will still have some difficulties. At most, he will declare war on the Heike family, and the result will definitely be a lose-lose situation. Now that Ba Qingyan has clearly stated that he will not interfere, it naturally makes him have no worries.”
Don’t move！” Wu Yi suddenly rushed in front of Yang Kai. “He is my friend！ I let him live here. Now that this kind of thing has happened, regardless of who is right or wrong, the Heike family is responsible. Elder Ba, if you really sit back and do nothing, and it spreads, it will damage the reputation of my Heike family. At that time…
Presumptuous！” Ba Qingyan was so angry that his whole body was shaking. He had already stated that this matter had nothing to do with the Heike family. Unexpectedly, Wu Yi, who was a direct descendant of the family, actually stood up at this sensitive moment and said such sensitive words. If it was not handled well, it would really cause a rift between the two families. This was definitely not what the family wanted to see.”
Little woman, do you think you can act recklessly just because you have some qualifications？ Have you forgotten who the family law was formulated for？ Considering your young age, come back to me now, and I can not pursue your outspoken words. Otherwise, the family law will be served！” Ba Qingyan was furious.”
Upon hearing the words “family law”, Wu Yi’s delicate body seemed to tremble slightly, and a hint of horror flashed across her pretty face.
A country has its laws, and a family has its rules. Every family and every force has its own set of rules. Once violated, the punishment can definitely make life worse than death, and it is even more cruel than treating enemies.
The family law of the Heike family is like this.
Once it is executed, then the rest of one’s life is over.
The horror was only for a moment, and Wu Yi’s expression immediately became firm. She shook her head and said miserably： “Yang Kai is my friend. You can’t treat him like this. At worst… at worst, I will compensate you for the losses！”
The last sentence was said to Xu Zhishen.
“Losses?” Xu Zhishen sneered again and again. “One of my Xu family’s young masters has been crippled. What can you use to compensate? Can you afford it? Brother Ba, is this how your Heike family educates its disciples? A little girl can also interfere in the decisions of the elders. It’s really too uneducated and too outrageous!
Ba Qingyan took a deep breath and said with a furious face： “The affairs of my family are not up to you to dictate！ You wait for a while, and I will deal with this shrew first.”
As he said this, he looked at Wu Yi coldly and said, “I’ll give you two choices. One is to shut up now and go back to the family to receive the punishment of the family law. The other is for me to take action and personally take you back. You choose for yourself.”
Wu Yi’s face turned pale, and she never expected things to develop to this extent.
She is a woman, but her own qualifications are also among the best in the younger generation of the Heike family. So the family has always vigorously cultivated her. Grateful for the kindness of the family, she has also continuously contributed to the family over the years and never felt that she was a woman and would get married sooner or later.
Just like the last time she left You’an Star to mine in the starry sky, none of the men in the family dared to go. Finally, it was she who took the initiative to stand up and shoulder the responsibility, leading Yu Feng and others to set off for the starry sky.
It took a full year or two before they returned with a full load.
During this period, there were several life-and-death situations, and nearly half of the disciples died. She herself also narrowly escaped death several times！ But the ores collected were snatched away as soon as they arrived at You’an Star.
And the family didn’t dare to say a word about it. The people who came back didn’t get much reward either. Finally, it was Wu Yi who paid out of her own pocket to compensate Yu Feng and others.
Recalling all the contributions she had made to the family, looking at the attitude of her own elders towards her, and seeing the schadenfreude in the eyes of those several cousins, Wu Yi suddenly felt a little disheartened.
She knew that she really shouldn’t have intervened in this matter, but she couldn’t just sit back and ignore Yang Kai.
Yang Kai was brought back by her and was arranged by her to live in Longxue Mountain. The two of them also had an agreement…
She suddenly understood that her position in the family was not as important and solid as she had imagined. If this kind of thing had been caused by those men, the elders of the family would have mediated to some extent, because they were the future heirs of the Heike family and the hope of the family. She was just a woman and would leave the family sooner or later.
The elder’s words had been released. No matter which choice was made, she would definitely face the punishment of the family law.
Wu Yi’s future was pitch-dark！
Tears couldn’t help streaming down her face. It wasn’t because of her own future, but because she felt that her efforts over the years had been a bit too wishful thinking, and she felt it was not worth it for her persistence and hard work.
