Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The roads were virtually void of pedestrians and vehicles at ten in the evening. A slight drizzle dripped through the misty skies as the Humr roared along westwards under the dim road lights.
In the backseat of the car, Xiao ii completed ignored Tie Xiaohu and Tang ng. She rested her sexy body in Ling Yun’s arms without the need for any seduction.
Ling Yun’s judgnt of the whole matter generally matched the simple narration of the situation by Xiao ii.
When Ling Yun had taken his leave in the evening, Zhuang ifeng and Xiao ii had left for her grandpa’s tomb after dinner.
As a result, they had stepped straight into the trap made to capture Zhuang ifeng once they had reached her grandpa’s tomb.
Their enemies had wasted no ti kidnapping Zhuang ifeng. Naturally, they had resisted, but they had been against more than a dozen people at the Houtian Realm. It had been futile. Eight had been Houtian Realm Level 3, three had been Houtian Realm Level 4, and there had been three others whose ranks even Xiao ii had not been able to determine.
Xiao ii had just attained Houtian Realm Level 3. It was not possible for her to fend off so many highly skilled martial artists alone. She was lucky that she was not their target. Only one from the group of Houtian Realm Level 4 had taken interest in her which had ended with her near fatal injuries.
Xiao ii had broken through the deadlock and had managed to escape even with the grave injuries. That was how she had managed to send that SOS to Ling Yun on her way back to the rented house.
“I don’t how how they could have sent so many high ranking martial artists. If it wasn’t because of the six higher rankings, I could have saved Zhuang ifeng...” Xiao ii muttered regretfully.
Ling Yun looked down at Xiao ii in his arms. His eyebrows arched with a sad smile. “Their target is . You and Zhuang ifeng are just a ans to get to .”
Obviously, the Sun Family had learned through their own channels that the person who had hurt Sun Xing was Ling Yun. They also had done their howork on Ling Yun’s ability in battle.
“No wonder it was so quiet these few days. They were gathering their troops... Sun Xing’s mother is really quite troubleso...”
They had laid a trap in the dark and had waited patiently for the prey. The only detail they had not factored in was that Ling Yun had not visit the tomb with Zhuang ifeng. Hence, they had only managed to capture Zhuang ifeng.
As for Xiao ii, she had been left alive to send a ssage. Otherwise, she would have been captured as well.
The three martial artists of Houtian Realm Level 4 were not a problem to Ling Yun. After a long pause, he asked Xiao ii, “What were the three people you couldn’t determine like?”
“They were a monka and a pair of Taoist Priests — one male and one female,” Xiao ii replied readily.
Ling Yun nodded and asked, “What happened to Zhuang ifeng when you were escaping?”
“Zhuang ifeng was pulled into a car by a middle-aged man. From the way Zhuang ifeng was reacting, it should be her Uncle,” Xiao ii replied after a slight pause.
The worry in Ling Yun’s eyes faded, but was imdiately replaced with his murderous intent. He thought things over carefully and instructed the silent Tang ng and Tie Xiaohu, “You two, after sending us to the destination, leave imdiately. I cannot let either of you participate in the operation tonight.”
Ling Yun had wanted to bring Tie Xiaohu along to witness what a true fight ant at first, but he decided against it imdiately upon hearing about the three opponents of unknown ability.
“Big Brother Yun, I overheard everything Sister Xiao said. The enemy seems really strong, but we cannot flee just because they are strong right? That is not possible!” Tang ng exclaid.
Tie Xiaohu shook his head as well, expressing his position on this matter determinedly while keeping silent.
“Tang ng, this is not the ti to be emotional. This is not like the ti we went to Qingyun Productions. This ti, things are even more serious than I thought. You will just be a hindrance to in this situation,” Ling Yun replied in a low voice.
Tang ng was not educated about the Houtian, Xiantian, and Qi Cultivations. He was totally ignorant about what realms were and about the martial arts world.
Tang ng stepped hard on the accelerator in a fury. “Big Brother Yun, didn’t you give so Fire Talismans? I will burn them...”
“Fire Talismans? Those people are as quick as the lighting. You’ll be dead before you take them out. Even guns are useless against them!” Ling Yun laughed it off.
Tang ng paused for a short while before offering again, “Then, then what should we do? I can’t possibly leave you two alone in danger, right? Or perhaps I should give a call to my Dad?”
“It’s okay. I know your feelings better than anyone, but think about it. Zhuang ifeng’s Uncle brought her ho. It’s reasonable AND legal. What is the use of getting the police involved?” Ling Yun smiled.
“This is an ergency. Listen to . After you send us there, go back to Mansion Number One imdiately and wait for us there.”
“But, but...” Tang ng started again, frowning as he saw how that he could not be of much help.
Tie Xiaohu, who had been silent all this while, spoke suddenly, “Big Brother Yun, since I have decided to follow you, my life is at your disposal. Let Tang ng go back to the mansion. I will not leave you to face this alone.”
“This...” Ling Yun could not think of a good reply to his sincere offer.
“Big Brother Yun, I am in the sa situation as Tie Xiaohu. I will brave the fires of hell to follow you. Don’t refuse anymore. I will go with you. Hehehe, I will burn as many of them as I can!” Tang ng retorted upon hearing what Tie Xiaohu had said.
Seeing the determination displayed by his loyal brothers, Ling Yun could only shake his head and fell silent.
Xiao ii, still curled up in Ling Yun’s arms, looked at the pair in front before giving Ling Yun a thumbs up secretly.
...
Situated at the western suburbs of Qingshui City was the Zhuang Family’s group of villas. Well, manors would probably be a more befitting description than villas.
It covered over a hundred acres of land, which was much bigger than the entire Qingxi Mansions Area. It looked like a giant golf course from the sky.
Lush green trees, neatly trimd lawns neatly, and small crystal clear lakes were scattered around the vicinity. Seven or eight super luxurious villas littered the beautiful manor, each illuminated grandly.
Behind the villas, there was even dedicated space for horse stables and small farms. There was no need to buy any food. They ate what they grew.
These southern-facing villas were in the western suburbs of Qingshui City. They appeared domineering and dignified.
This was the ho of the Zhuang Tiande, owner of the Zhuang Family’s Pharmaceutical Group and the richest man in Qingshui City. It was also the ho of Zhuang ifeng and Zhuang ina.
At that mont, in the living room of the most magnificent building, a graceful and noble-looking woman of about fifty had her hands on her waist and was giving Zhuang Tiande a good dressing down!
“Zhuang Tiande, who do you think that shaless daughter of yours is?! Huh? It is your greatest fortune for her to be able to marry my son. You want to break off the engagent?! If it was not because you used all of your connections to introduce your daughter to my son Sun Xing, and if it was not because my son liked her looks, do you think I would have agreed?!
“Now she wants to break off the engagent? Over my dead body!
“Zhuang ifeng, that slut! She dared to escape back here from Beijing? She thought that she could gain freedom and escape from my son? Delusional!
“My son braved Qingshui City alone to chase after your daughter. He t with such danger and was injured so badly by soone all because of your daughter!
“You better make sure she appears in front of my son, grovels on her knees to beg for forgiveness, and serves my son tonight. If not, misfortune will befall her. Don’t say I didn’t warn you!”
“Also! After I clean up that arrogant bastard Ling Yun who dared hit my son, I will take my son and your daughter back to Beijing to be married imdiately! You should quickly arrange for the dowry!”
Niu Fenjiao, Mistress of the Sun Family, was from one of the seven big families in Beijing. She seed to have swallowed fireworks as she bellowed at a distressed Zhuang Tiande.
She was really brazen! Zhuang Tiande was getting pushed over by soone fiercer than him in his own ho!
Zhuang Tiande was forty-eight years old. He was of average height and was clean shaven with a round face. He was not ugly, but his thin lips destroyed his gentle aura and instead gave him a unfeeling and cold look.
He was undoubtedly the supre existence of the Zhuang Family Pharmaceutical Group worth billions of dollars. However, at this mont, he could only obediently agree to the accusations of Niu Fenjiao while sweating profusely.
To face the Sun Family, the pinnacle of the Huaxia Hierarchy, he could only say “Yes.”
...
“Mum, don’t say anything anymore, I have soone I love, and I will only marry him. I will not marry Sun Xing even if I am dead!”
An extrely agitated Zhuang ifeng told her mother Zhao Bomin in her bedroom which was on the second floor of the sa building.
“ifeng, Mum understands what you are saying, but now that things are being blown out of proportion, things are out of my hands!”
Zhao Bomin looked helplessly and sorrowfully at her stubborn eldest daughter.
She glanced at her younger daughter Zhuang ina who was beside Zhuang ifeng and sighed. “ifeng, you should think about your Dad as well. He shoulders the burden of such a big business alone. He only wants the business to have a better future by expanding into Beijing’s pharmaceutical market. We have to unite with the Sun Family if we want to establish a foothold in Beijing. You were born into such a family where you can have any material items you want, but at a trade-off of certain freedom...”
Love was a luxury in such a family.
“Elder Sister, what are you doing? What is so bad about marrying Sun Xing? You’ll be marrying into a rich family. Our family will also be able to get the support of Sun Family to be established in Beijing. Nobody will dare to ss with us then!” Zhuang ina interjected, throwing her support behind her mother.
Zhuang ifeng glared at her younger sister. “We are so rich ourselves. Is the Beijing market really so important? Is there no other way to gain the support of other families in Beijing? Why should my love and happiness be sacrificed? Whoever is in approval of this should marry him instead. In any case, I am not marrying him!”
Zhuang ina knew that her last words were ant for her. However, she was currently Xie Junyan’s girlfriend, and she was also attracted to Ling Yun. Therefore, she replied slyly, “Elder Sister, I’m afraid you have no choice in this. No matter who you love, his influence will not be comparable to the Sun Family.
“Aunt Niu called many people from her family here while you were gone. Sun Xing was discharged from the hospital yesterday and is currently in the villa just next to us. He will definitely call you to his room tonight!
“Mum and I are here to persuade you to accept this reality so that you won’t need to suffer too much...”
The color in Zhuang ifeng’s face left her as she reacted at this new piece of news. “What?!”
At that mont, Sun Xing entered the living room on the first floor with seven or eight people, putting on a brazen show of power. He did not even spare a glance at Zhuang Tiande on the couch. He complained to his mother, “Mum, where is my wife? Why isn’t she coming over? I can’t sleep without her!”
