During this ti at Qingfeng Fortress, everything was calm, and ng Yu had made all kinds of peaceful efforts that were possible.
And now, the battle had officially begun at the foot of Qingfeng Fortress.
More than twenty people stood at the entrance of the mountain stronghold, with several of them fighting against Wang Fugui and his n.
Six days ago, the Yu Family mbers arrived at the provincial capital and then ca looking for ng Yu with so family from the capital.
The Yu Family mbers were full of anger.
After ng Yu saved Miss Liu, he had soone write several letters down the mountain, not just to the Liu Family but also one to the Yu Family in the capital, using the most expensive channel to inform them that all was well here, that Miss Liu had been rescued, and that there was no need to worry, among other things.
Almost simultaneously, they received two different pieces of news and hurried over, learning more information. A chivalrous hero nad ng Yu had killed Grand Chieftain Chen and several other leaders of Black Wind Stockade, and then beca the new boss himself. Currently, he was acting very amicably and was no longer waylaying and ambushing on the roads. As for Miss Liu, according to the mountain villagers, she had been left in the mountain stronghold because she was pregnant and could not co down the mountain.
Well, after all, the mountain people's favorite tales were those of beauties and beasts, especially fabricating stories about the beauties and the King of Mountain. In their eyes, what they believed could happen had already happened, and what they believed had not yet occurred must have occurred. This exaggeration imdiately ignited the wrath of Young Master Yu, who had slain three minor leaders of Qingfeng Fortress and six of their subordinates he encountered on his way.
What ng Yu saw when he ca down the mountain were the heads of those three minor leaders.
...
ng Yu didn't like socializing with good people, especially middle-aged good people with requests.
They had struggled all their lives, been beaten down by society, and still wanted to be good people, expecting so form of return—for example, one of the deceased minor leaders, in his thirties, part of a rcenary troupe. Whenever he was not on assignnt, he would help out in the mountain stronghold, doing various chores, even including sweeping and carrying wood.
The other two minor leaders were always extrely respectful whenever they saw ng Yu, including in private where they were fervent supporters of ng Yu.
Even though ng Yu treated them the sa as he did everyone else, speaking plainly, his fair dealings made them feel hopeful. They smiled and were happy every day, but now, their three heads were thrown onto the ground.
"I killed them. These bandits committed atrocious deeds and deserved to be beheaded by my sword!"
That was a young man, handso and dashing. He was Young Master Yu.
"Hmm."
ng Yu glanced at this young man. Handso and dashing, he looked every bit the scion of a noble family, most likely the Young Master Yu betrothed to Miss Liu.
"And , what about it? If you hand over Miss Liu now, I might spare you your life."
The speaker was an even younger gentleman, his face equally filled with arrogance.
"I rember, I had Miss Liu write a letter to the Yu Family, expressing that I had saved her, but it was inconvenient to let her down the mountain. I asked you to send soone to et them. How co, you didn't receive the letter?"
ng Yu sighed, then sighed again.
His deanor was very calm, even, in the eyes of those in Jianghu...sowhat weak.
"A letter, what letter?"
That young gentleman rolled his eyes, but from his expression, ng Yu had already guessed that the letter had indeed been delivered.
Not letting Miss Liu down the mountain because ng Yu felt these weaklings couldn't protect themselves.
"Did you take action?"
ng Yu ignored the two young n and instead focused his gaze on soone standing behind them.
He looked sowhat out of place, sowhat different from the rest.
He had even used a slingshot to save Wang Fugui's life, advising not to kill anymore.
"I... "
The man was just looking at ng Yu in shock, a bit unable to fathom this young man, but he could sense that big trouble was brewing.
It took only one move to tell whether soone was a professional.
"My surna is Guo, and how may I address you?"
"Heh."
ng Yu's posture was not good at all; he had never been to the big city to act like Jiang Qianglong. His sole intention was to avoid trouble. Thus, he holed up here in Black Wind Stockade, never expecting soone would actually co knocking on his door.
"Kid, how did you speak to Guo, the Great Hero?"
The middle-aged man hadn't spoken yet when soone at his side was already dissatisfied. Guo, the Great Hero, was an Innate, and even family heads had to treat him with the utmost respect.
"Alright, let's not talk about that now. You didn't make a move just now?"
Mr. Guo had the highest martial skills but no killing intent. ng Yu found his rustic appearance quite agreeable.
"Young man."
Guo, the Great Hero, gestured for the people around him to be quiet.
"It's wrong to kill. It's all a misunderstanding. The Yu Family is also a reputable family in the capital. Let's go inside and talk, shall we? How to compensate, you decide. What do you think?"
His words surprised everyone around. Guo, the Great Hero, rarely showed such courtesy, not to ntion to a young man who was so willful and unruly.
"Hero ng."
At that mont, soone from the mountain stronghold ca out—it was Miss Liu, her beauty troubled by worry for ng Yu. She recognized Guo, the Great Hero at a glance, a long-renowned martial arts expert, and she also knew the Yu Family was ho to nurous experts. It was clear that this ti, ng Yu was in big trouble.
She looked deeply at ng Yu, wanting to etch his image forever in her heart. Then, she turned her gaze to Young Master Yu, her fiancé in na, whom she was betrothed to as a child.
Back then, the Liu Family wasn't yet in ruins.
"Young Master Yu, Mr. ng is a good person; he has never hard us and has been very kind to us. That day in the mountain stronghold, Young Master ng appeared..."
She recounted the events and several details.
ng Yu had no reaction; he just listened silently.
"Guo, the Great Hero, I swear on my family's ancestors, every word I've spoken is true. I beg you to discern right from wrong. Young Master Yu, I'm at fault, please—"
She was calling him Young Master Yu, not Ah Yuu?
The more she spoke, the worse ng Yu felt.
Ah, he saw it now—this wily girl actually thought he might not be a match for Guo, the Great Hero?
I'm low-key, is there sothing wrong with that?
"Shut up!"
ng Yu kicked her, sending her flying, and she spat out blood and fainted.
"Who let her out?"
ng Yu's face was as cold as frost. He hated those lodramatic scenes from pri-ti dramas the most, let alone her expression.
When coming out, he had casually instructed no one to let the Liu Family mbers out, yet this woman had still run out.
"I..."
A leader was so scared his face went pale. That's why he spoke up earlier, and now this had happened.
"It seems you really are a tough guy," Guo, the Great Hero remarked, blocking the flushed-faced Young Master Yu and glancing at Miss Liu, whose mouth was bleeding. "Miss Liu is still pure and untarnished. Hero ng, I misunderstood you."
He was now terribly vexed. In fact, everyone had known about Miss Liu's rescue beforehand but couldn't stand so loose-lipped people in the group gossiping that Miss Liu, having fallen into the mountain stronghold, must have been... And so Young Master Yu had overheard this and then encountered so hill folk, and... That's how it happened. A killing ensued.
At this ti, the guests from the mountain stronghold ca out, and so recognized Guo, the Great Hero.
"It's Guo, the Great Hero of the Three Ultimate Blades!"
"He's an Innate Expert?"
"Heh, ng Yu's in for it this ti!"
