Chapter 2609
by“Taiping City…” Yang Kai walked out of the inn, thought about it carefully, and suddenly realized： “Isn’t this the city where that woman named Yan Xueman is？”
Previously, when the three people blocked the way and wanted to buy Ji Yao’s building ship, the old man introduced the man and woman, and said that the man was the youngPavilion Master of Xuanlei Pavilion, and the woman was the daughter of the city lord of Taiping City.
When entering the city yesterday, Yang Kai was worried about Ji Yao’s state of mind, so he didn’t pay attention to the name of the city. It was not until this moment that he knew that this was actually Taiping City.
This is a bit of a coincidence.
However, Yang Kai was not afraid. A mere city did not have the qualifications to make him afraid.
Leading Ji Yao all the way towards the outside of the city, it didn’t take long before they arrived at the city gate.
There were quite a few people queuing up at the gate waiting to leave the city, and there were even more martial artists on guard at the city gate. Every person leaving the city had to undergo the examination of those martial artists.
“Hm？” Seeing this scene, Yang Kai couldn’t help but frown. He didn’t know if this was the inherent rule of Taiping City or if something had happened.
“Master, could it be because of those three people yesterday？” Ji Yao suddenly asked in a low voice. “Are they looking for us？”
“How could it be such a coincidence.” Yang Kai chuckled. “We didn’t alarm anyone when we entered the city yesterday. Maybe there’s some other trouble in this city.”
Ji Yao nodded slightly.
The two of them didn’t rely on their profound cultivation to force their way through the city gate. Since they had come to someone else’s territory, it didn’t matter to follow their rules. So the two of them honestly queued up at the back of the crowd, waiting to leave the city.
The martial artists guarding the city gate checked very carefully, and there were even strands of spiritual thoughts secretly probing those who were about to leave the city.
One by one, the martial artists were checked and released without any problems, and the queue gradually advanced forward.
“Patriarch Dong！” Suddenly, a voice came from a house beside the city gate.
“Haven’t found them yet？” Another person spoke up and asked, seemingly the so-called Patriarch Dong.
“Not found yet for the time being.” The person who spoke first replied. “But please rest assured, Lord Dong. The other three city gates have been closed urgently. If your wife wants to leave the city, she will definitely go through this city gate. As long as she appears, we will surely be able to find her.”
“Thank you, Commander Yu. Alas, it’s really a misfortune in the family.” The Lord Dong sighed deeply.
The Commander Yu suddenly smiled slightly and said, “Lord Dong, as far as Yu knows, you and your wife have always been deeply in love and often come in and out of Taiping City in pairs, envied by others. How could it come to such a situation overnight that you are at loggerheads？ Why did your wife run away from home？ And you even don’t hesitate to use the power of our City Lord’s Mansion to look for her.”
When Commander Yu asked this question, there was suddenly silence in the room, as if it was a bit difficult to speak.
Commander Yu added, “If it’s inconvenient for you to say, Lord Dong, just take it that Yu didn’t ask.”
“Alas！” Lord Dong sighed heavily and said, “As the saying goes, a family scandal should not be made public. Dong originally wanted to calm things down and not make a big deal out of it, but that stupid woman insisted on forcing me！ In fact, there is nothing inconvenient to say. It’s just that that stupid woman had a momentary greed and stole the treasure that guards our Dong family.”
“Theft!” Battalion Commander Yu was greatly shocked. “That shouldn’t be the case! Your wife is second only to you in the Dong family and Battalion Commander Yu also heard that your wife seems to come from some major sect. What could the Dong family have that is worth her taking without permission!”
“Dong doesn’t know if she ate too much lard and lost her mind, actually doing such a disgraceful thing.” Patriarch Dong said with great pain for a while, and then said seriously： “Battalion Commander Yu, hoping that based on the fact that the Dong family has treated you well in the past, after finding that stupid woman, quietly capture her and don’t alarm others, especially don’t alarm City Lord Yan！”
Battalion Commander Yu replied： “I understand. Patriarch Dong, please rest assured.”
……
The two people were talking in a low voice in the room. Although the voice was low, Yang Kai heard it clearly.
He didn’t mean to eavesdrop, but just happened to hear it. However, with this, he understood why the Taiping City was under martial law.
It turned out that the mistress of a family stole a treasure that guarded the family, causing the patriarch of that family to come and pursue her and borrowed the strength of the City Lord’s Mansion. This was a complete family scandal. The helplessness and pain in Patriarch Dong’s words made Yang Kai secretly laugh. Estimating that at this moment he was also in a mess. On the one hand, he wanted to recover the stolen thing, and on the other hand, he also wanted to cover up this scandal.
I don’t know what the stolen thing is that actually aroused the greed of the mistress of a family.
The team continued to move forward, and in a short while, Yang Kai and Ji Yao were almost at the city gate.
Just at this time, a stream of light suddenly flew in from outside the city and shot straight towards the city gate.
“Who is it? Don’t be presumptuous in front of the Taiping City gate！” A warrior guarding the city gate shouted loudly and flew forward to meet it at the same time.
The stream of light paused, revealing the figures of a man and a woman.
“Blind your dog eyes. Don’t you see who this young master is and dare to shout！” The man snorted coldly.
The warrior guarding the city gate took a closer look and immediately trembled like a sieve. He said hurriedly, “So it’s Young Master Bai and Miss Yan.”
This man and woman were clearly Bai Lu and Yan Xueman who had met Yang Kai just yesterday. It was not known where they had come back from, but the Old Yan who had been by their side yesterday was gone.
“Get out of the way！” Bai Lu’s mood seemed very bad. As he spoke, he slapped the warrior who blocked his way with a palm, sending the warrior flying back and spitting out blood in the air, extremely miserable.
Under the gaze of a pair of eyes, Bai Lu and Yan Xueman directly rushed into the city gate and landed on the ground, their eyes scanning around, looking like they were the second in the world.
But soon, Bai Lu’s eyes trembled, and his body trembled even more. He looked at a certain direction in horror.
In that direction, Yang Kai was looking at him indifferently.
Having lost face in front of Yang Kai yesterday and almost lost his life, how could Bai Lu forget Yang Kai’s appearance? It had only been a day, and yet they met again at the city gate of Taiping City.
The scene where even the Emperor Senior Stage Yan Lao had his arm shattered with a single palm strike from him was still vivid in his mind. Bai Lu truly dreaded Yang Kai from the bottom of his heart. Involuntarily his body shrank by half, and all his imposing manner vanished without a trace.
“What’s wrong？” Yan Xueman, who was following beside him, noticed his abnormality and couldn’t help but ask softly. As she asked, she followed his gaze and the next moment, her pretty face turned snow-white, and her eyes dodged.
Undoubtedly, she also saw Yang Kai.
“Let’s go！” Bai Lu shouted in a low voice, withdrew his gaze, and pulled Yan Xueman away as if fleeing for their lives. In the blink of an eye, they rushed into the city. This surprised the group of Martial Artists from the City Lord’s Mansion, and they looked at each other in dismay, not knowing what was wrong with Young Master Bai and Young Lady Yan today.
At the corner of a street, Bai Lu and Yan Xueman stuck out their heads and quietly looked towards the direction of the city gate.
Yan Xueman said tremblingly, “Why are those two people… here？”
Bai Lu’s face was ironblue as he said, “Who am I supposed to ask?”
The great loss they suffered yesterday really scared this pair of man and woman. At this moment, seeing Yang Kai was like a mouse seeing a cat, and they wished they could immediately find a hole to hide in.
Suddenly, as if remembering something, Yan Xueman frowned and said, “No, this is Taiping City. Why should this young lady be afraid of them? No, I have to go and tell my father immediately and let my father teach them a lesson.”
As she spoke, she was about to go to the City Lord’s Mansion to find her father.
Bai Lu grabbed her and said with a sullen face, “Why are you so big-breasted and brainless.”
“Who… who is big-breasted and brainless! Yan Xueman shouted angrily.
Bai Lu said, “Old Yan and your father’s cultivation bases are about the same. Even Old Yan is not a match for that man in one move. Do you think that even if your father comes, what can he do to that person？ At that time, if your father dies, don’t cry in front of this young master.”
When Yan Xueman heard this, her pretty face turned pale immediately. She thought that was right. Even Old Yan had his arm knocked off by that person in one move. How could her father be an opponent? If she really called her father over, I’m afraid it would be her father who would suffer a loss.
“Then what should we do！” Yan Xueman was in a hurry. “How about you go and call Uncle Bai over? Uncle Bai has the cultivation base of the Second-Order Emperor Venerable. It should be no problem to deal with that person.”
Bai Lu shook his head and said, “I don’t even know how to tell my father about Elder Yan. There aren’t many Emperor Venerable Realms in the Profound Thunder Pavilion. Elder Yan was so seriously injured. If my father finds out, he will definitely skin me alive. Speaking of which, it’s all your fault. Why did you have to buy that person’s battleship for no reason？ Elder Yan even lost an arm because of it.”
Accused by him, Yan Xueman’s eyes immediately turned red, and she said in a trembling voice, “Bai, when you were with this young lady under the moonlight, why didn’t you say these things? Now you come to accuse me. Do you have any conscience at all！”
As soon as she cried, Bai Lu only felt vexed and impatient, but he had to speak up and comfort her, saying “Alright, alright, stop crying. Yesterday’s matter was my fault, okay? It has nothing to do with you.”
“You’re bad, you’re bad, you’re bad…” Yan Xueman shouted in her mouth and threw a flurry of punches again.
“Don’t make trouble！” How could Bai Lu have the mood to mess around with her? He quickly grabbed her hand and said, “It’s important to send these two plagues away first. Looking at their appearance, it seems that they are going to leave the city… Sizzle…”
While speaking, Bai Lu pulled Yan Xueman and quickly hid back.
Because he saw that Yang Kai actually turned his head and looked in their direction with a smile. That glance almost scared the wits out of him.
At the city gate, Yang Kai, who was queuing up to wait to leave the city, turned his head and sneered.
He didn’t expect that Young Master Bai and Yan Xueman would have such a reaction when they met him today. But this also saves trouble. If they really don’t know what’s good for them and want to call in powerful experts to take revenge, Yang Kai wouldn’t mind causing a big ruckus here.
“Cough cough cough…” A violent cough came, and an old woman in the front of the queue was tottering, and actually fell backward suddenly almost falling to the ground.
“Grandma, are you okay?” Ji Yao was quick-witted and caught her with a hand, asking with concern
