Chapter 158
by“Old man…” Just as Yang Kai opened his mouth, the old man made a gesture to him： “Don’t talk.”
Yang Kai frowned. Although he didn’t know what this old man was afraid of, it must be definitely related to the martial artists who were coming.
Soon, the person arrived outside the door and knocked on the shabby door with a bang.
Xiaoyu was awakened and trembled on the bed, hugging her grandfather.
Yang Kai’s expression turned cold.
“Old guy, open the door quickly.” A furious shout came from outside.
“If you don’t open the door, don’t blame us for being rude.” The voice of the second person came.
The old man held his granddaughter in his arms. Anger and helplessness flickered in his turbid eyes. He opened his mouth and comforted in a low voice： “Xiaoyu, don’t be afraid. Grandpa is here. Xiaoyu, don’t be afraid！”
The people knocking on the door outside were obviously impatient. Seeing that the old man was always reluctant to open the door, they directly kicked open the door. The sea breeze poured into the room, blowing away the only trace of warmth.
“Old guy！” One of them rushed in fiercely. “You have a lot of guts. You actually dare to close the door. Do you believe that I will stab you with a knife！”
“What are you here for again！ Get out of here！” The old man protected his granddaughter and wailed. “Her father was arrested by you, and her mother was also arrested by you. Only the two of us, grandpa and grandson, are left here, depending on each other for survival. Don’t you let us go？”
“Hehe, why is the old guy talking so unpleasantly. We invited that couple to go to Yunxia Island as guests and enjoy the blessings. Now that they miss you, they specifically asked us to bring you two along as well. A family should be reunited together.” The person who came in first walked in while grinning hideously. Suddenly, he saw Yang Kai and his expression couldn’t help but be stunned.
Looking at Yang Kai vigilantly, but not feeling the trace of a martial artist from this youth, he only regarded him as an ordinary person. Immediately, he didn’t pay attention anymore and muttered in his heart, strange, when did this family add another person？
The old man cried and said, “Our ordinary family is not blessed to enjoy such blessings. Can you two be kind and release the child’s father and mother？ The child misses her father and mother very much.”
“The old guy doesn’t know what’s good for him！” That person’s expression was cold and severe. “Since you miss them, then come with us. When you reach Yunxia Island, there will naturally be a time for you to reunite. Why are you wailing here？”
Since these two martial artists entered the house, they didn’t say much. But Yang Kai had already heard a lot of information.
Yunxia Island, Yang Kai knew about it. There was a Yunxia Sect on the island, which was only a third-rate force when calculated, not as good as Lingxiao Pavilion.
It’s just that Yang Kai doesn’t know why they would come here to catch people, and judging from this posture it wasn’t the first time.
The old man had said before. Xiaoyu didn’t want to speak because something had happened at home. It should be this kind of thing.
Yang Kai was not the kind of person who liked to meddle in other people’s business. He had helped Cui’er and the others before because he had received their care. Now that this grandfather and grandson were in trouble, Yang Kai would not stand by either.
People should always know how to repay kindness. Xiao Yu’s simplicity and kindness were enough to move him.
These two martial artists both had only the strength of the Qi-moving Realm. Their abilities were not high. If they really fought, Yang Kai was confident that he could easily deal with them. But it was not convenient to do anything here. Moreover, these people had a Sect behind them. Once his actions were not clean, it was very likely to implicate the old man and Xiao Yu.
He had to plan carefully.
“Please, you two. Release the child’s father and mother and let our family reunite.” The old man was in tears and knelt on the bed, kowtowing continuously.
“Damn it, the old bastard is so noisy that it makes people angry.” The martial artist of Yunxia Sect cursed and was about to rush up and start a fight.
Yang Kai took a step wrong and blocked in front of him.
“Kid, who are you？” The martial artist of Yunxia Sect glared at Yang Kai and shouted angrily. He had wanted to ask this question for a long time. But as soon as he entered the door, the old bastard kept making noise, making it impossible for him to speak.
Yang Kai had a smile on his face and kept bowing： “I’m a distant relative of this family.”
“Distant relative?” This person looked at Yang Kai suspiciously and didn’t question carefully. “What are you doing here?”
Yang Kai quickly replied, “I was doing business outside and it failed. I originally wanted to come here to seek refuge. But I didn’t expect that my uncle and aunt have already been taken to Yunxia Island by the two of you. It’s really unexpected. I have long admired Yunxia Sect and have long had the heart to apprentice, but I have always had no way. Meeting the two of you today is really a blessing from heaven. Can the two of you do me a favor and also take me to Yunxia Island？”
Yang Kai’s voice was humble, and his expression was nervous and expectant when he spoke, and he also appropriately expressed his admiration for a long time. The two martial artists from Yunxia Island were dumbfounded when they heard it.
This… there is actually someone who actively wants to go to our island！ Is this kid crazy or stupid？
The two looked at Yang Kai obliquely, with strange expressions, and didn’t answer.
Yang Kai became even more cramped and uneasy： “Two seniors, I just arrived in Haicheng today and I’m a little short of money. But don’t worry, if I can join Yunxia Sect, I will definitely not be short of filial piety to the two seniors in the future.”
This… is trying to bribe us？ The two martial artists from Yunxia Island looked at each other and suddenly felt that their heads were not enough.
They have caught so many people before and after, and have seen all kinds of people. The reaction of this fool today is really amazing.
However, it turns out that he just came！
He should have said it earlier. We just like to bully you newcomers who just came to Haicheng.
Yang Kai nervously looked at them, his heart also filled with muttering. Although he didn’t know what Yunxia Island was going to do with these ordinary people, this was the only way he could think of to help the old man and the little girl get out of trouble.
Even the old man and the little girl were arrested. There was no reason for them to let go of a strong young man like himself, right？
Sure enough, after staring for a long time, the two martial artists suddenly burst into laughter and patted Yang Kai’s shoulder affectionately, saying, “Good, good, good. Since you have the heart to join our Yunxia Sect, how can we have the heart to stop you? That’s right, that’s right. You, young man, have a strange bone structure and look smart. You must be a genius in martial arts. If you become successful in the future, don’t forget the recommendation credit of us two brothers.
“I won’t forget, of course I won’t forget.”
The three of them looked at each other and laughed heartily.
The two martial artists of Yunxia Sect secretly cursed Yang Kai as a fool.
Yang Kai thought to himself that you two idiots.
The old man and the little girl trembled on the bed.
After a long while, Yang Kai finally stopped laughing and said, “Two seniors, do you think it’s enough for me alone to join the Yunxia Sect？ If we bring this old man and the little girl with us, it will also be troublesome on the road.”
This question was the one that Yang Kai was most nervous about. If they still didn’t want to let go of the old man and the little girl, Yang Kai would have no choice but to start a massacre here. The reason for talking so much nonsense before was just to ask this question.
However, Yang Kai was obviously worried too much. They came here to arrest people because there was a job in Yunxia Sect that ordinary people could also do. It didn’t matter if they were male or female, old or young, as long as they were people.
Now that they have caught Yang Kai as a strong laborer, they naturally don’t want to take the old man and the child anymore. In case they die on the way due to jolts it will also bring bad luck.
He nodded upon hearing this and said, “Well, you’re right. I originally wanted to take them there for a reunion, but I didn’t expect this old guy in your family not to know what’s good for him and waste our kindness.”
“People get old, that’s all. Please forgive me, two senior brothers.” Yang Kai smiled.
“Since you have decided to join Yunxia Sect, then there’s no time to lose. Let’s go now.” The two warriors of Yunxia Sect, having completed their task, couldn’t wait to leave this small and stuffy room.
“You two go outside and wait for a moment first. I want to say goodbye to my grandpa and sister.”
“Hurry up.” The two didn’t suspect anything else. After giving a reminder, they waited outside.
After they left, Yang Kai slowly walked to the bedside and took a look at the trembling grandpa and grandson.
The old man was a shrewd person. When Yang Kai was talking nonsense with the warriors of Yunxia Sect just now, he didn’t dare to make a sound for fear of revealing any flaws. It was not until this moment that he trembled and said, “Little brother, why bother！ That Yunxia Sect is not a place where people can go.”
Yang Kai smiled slightly and said, “Old man, don’t worry. I have my own plans. Have you forgotten that I’m also a warrior？”
A glimmer of light flashed in the old man’s muddy eyes, and he felt a little relieved.
Yang Kai reached into his bosom and took out all the money he got from the dead a few days ago, stuffed it into the old man’s hand, and solemnly exhorted, “Leave Haicheng early tomorrow morning, take Xiaoyu, and go as far as you can. Don’t stay here anymore.”
After that, Yang Kai touched Xiaoyu’s head and turned to leave.
It was not until the footsteps outside gradually faded away that the old man in the room tremblingly looked at what Yang Kai had stuffed into him.
It was a stack of banknotes！
The old man burst into tears and pulled Xiaoyu to kneel and worship on the bed.
“Xiaoyu, a person should know how to repay kindness！ Remember the appearance of this elder brother. If there is a chance to meet again in the future, even if you become a slave or a maid, you must repay him even if you are smashed to pieces. Do you know？” The old man seriously exhorted.
Xiaoyu nodded slightly, and the frightened look on his immature face had disappeared, leaving only calmness.
Outside the house, Yang Kai had gone far away with the two martial artists of Yunxia Sect.
Yang Kai originally wanted to find an opportunity to kill the two of them, but before he could do anything, he found that the development of the matter exceeded his expectations.
The martial artists dispatched by Yunxia Sect tonight were not just the two of them, but as many as twenty, and there was even a True Yuan Realm master sitting in charge.
Yang Kai did not take action. With a True Yuan Realm here, his action would be tantamount to seeking death. This True Yuan Realm was not like Zhang Ding’s wild fox Zen, and a few days ago in the battle with Zhang Ding, Yang Kai also took full advantage to win.
The situation had developed to this point, and Yang Kai wasn’t panicked either. He was just an ordinary person in the eyes of those martial artists from Yunxia Sect for now, and this was his advantage.
As long as he found an opportunity, he could escape, and opportunities always required patience to wait for.
The two martial artists from Yunxia Sect brought Yang Kai to a three-masted ship by the sea and then ignored him. Moreover, they also changed their previous amiable attitudes and often sneered. There was an obvious taunting meaning in that smile, as if they were saying, ‘Kid, you’re on the pirate ship now！’
Regarding this, Yang Kai didn’t care either.
As time passed, more and more people were continuously brought onto the ship. Those people either cried bitterly, or raged non-stop, or pleaded continuously. The people from Yunxia Sect on the ship ignored them all, as if they were already used to it.
These people were both men and women. Most of them were beggars and vagrants, and there were also some dressed as fishermen. There was no one dressed gorgeously.
In other words, the targets of Yunxia Sect were all poor people. Because poor people had no way to resist when they were bullied.
When it was almost dawn, the number of people captured by Yunxia Sect had reached more than thirty. Those martial artists also rushed back in a hurry. Under the dispatch of the master on the ship, before the sun rose, the ship set sail and headed towards the sea.
