"Linghu Piaoshui, we've been utterly ruined by you!"
"There's no way this matter can just end like this!"
"Once we get back, I will never spare you!"
"From now on, I want to sever all ties with you!"
"That's right, cut off all ties!"
"Never to deal with each other again for the rest of our lives!"
A crowd of people took turns castigating Linghu Piaoshui.
"You... you... how could you do this..." Linghu Piaoshui's face turned pale from anger, and he shook uncontrollably.
It was then that Gao Fei spoke up, "Enough, stop putting on this act here." Pausing for a mont, he continued, "This sort of tragic act is of no use on ."
"But, hero..." Just as Xiahou Bing started to speak, she was interrupted by a gesture from Gao Fei.
"Don't call it wrong; I'm no hero." Gao Fei waved his hand, "At most, I'm a person who detests evil, still far from acting on heaven's behalf."
"In my eyes, you are a hero..." Xiahou Bing tried to continue but was again cut off by Gao Fei.
Gao Fei looked at Xiahou Bing with a smile, "You're quite the interesting little girl, hating to death in your heart, yet calling a hero to my face, flattering ."
"No, I don't hate you," Xiahou Bing quickly shook her head.
"We don't hate you either," other pampered young masters quickly expressed their stance.
"Give it a rest," Gao Fei snorted dismissively, "I've captured you and even cut off your fingers and ears, how could you not hate ?"
"We really don't hate you, truly, we can swear it..."
"Enough with the nonsense," Gao Fei said impatiently, turning away, "I ca here today to let you go."
"Really?" Xiahou Bing's face lit up with joy.
The rest also showed delight, after enduring so many days they were finally about to see an end. In their hearts, they silently swore that once they got out, they would gather all their forces to kill Gao Fei.
"Your elders have all paid the ransom; according to the ethics of the martial world, I must let you go," said Gao Fei indifferently.
"Ah? Our elders paid the ransom?" The pampered young masters were all stunned, "Did they really pay the ransom?"
"What? You don't believe ?" Gao Fei's face darkened, "You think I'm lying to you?"
"No, that's not what we ant," they all hastily shook their heads, "Since our elders have paid the ransom, then please let us go promptly. We promise, once we're out, we won't seek revenge, really! We can swear it!"
"Forget it," Gao Fei snorted, "Your vows are worth dogshit in my eyes, not worth a cent. If I believed you, I'd truly be soone who's been kicked in the head by a donkey."
"But, hero..."
"Stop it! If anyone calls hero again, I will cut off their tongue!" This warning worked like a charm, and Xiahou Bing and the others imdiately shut their mouths, not daring to call him hero again.
"Listen," Gao Fei said in a chilling tone, "I will let you go, but..." Gao Fei saw very clearly that, as he uttered the word "but," Xiahou Bing and the others imdiately tensed up, their faces showing nervous expressions. Gao Fei sneered inwardly, knowing they were frightened, I want you to be afraid! After a brief pause, he continued, "Considering your usual heinous deeds, I've decided to impose a certain punishnt on you. In other words, to teach you a lesson, to make you rember and not dare to misbehave once you're out."
"No, no, no." Xiahou Bing panicked, constantly shaking his head: "Hero... oh, sorry, I misspoke. You don't seem very old, so I'll just call you big brother, all right? Big brother, you can be a hundred percent assured, after this incident, I have learned my lesson. Once I am out, I will absolutely not flaunt my power or bully the weak again, I swear."
"Yes, yes, yes, we swear. We'll never behave so recklessly again." The other profligate sons hurriedly made their oaths.
Gao Fei laughed loudly, "Sorry, but I don't believe you."
"Big brother..." Xiahou Bing was almost crying in desperation: "I'm speaking the truth..."
"We are speaking the truth too." Linghu Piaoshui and the others called out anxiously: "Big brother, please, just give us a chance to turn over a new leaf."
"Enough. Stop crying and howling here. Even if you cry to death, I will not be moved." Gao Fei snorted: "One must not be soft-hearted when dealing with you lot, the profligate sons who have committed all manner of evils!" He paused and continued: "Heaven has been kind to you, allowing you to be born into wealthy families, living lives of luxury since childhood. Yet, you are not satisfied and insist on going out to cause trouble and bully the weak... In my eyes, you are nothing but scum, a bunch of parasites. Your existence is only a waste of ti, food, and air. Sotis, I wish I could just squash you dead."
Xiahou Bing and the others wanted to argue, but Gao Fei did not give them the chance.
Gao Fei flicked his fingers and unleashed more than a dozen streams of finger-play, "After you leave, reform and be good people." The streams of finger-play shot out, piercing through the Dantians of Xiahou Bing and the others.
"Pfft, pfft, pfft..."
Xiahou Bing and the others slumped to the ground like deflated balloons, their faces pale, breathing weak, and their bodies uncontrollably trembling. Their Dantians were destroyed, and with it, their Cultivation dissipated. In other words, they had beco cripples, or more accurately, ordinary people, unable to practice Cultivation ever again.
"You really are ruthless." Xiahou Bing glared at Gao Fei with red eyes.
"Be thankful, I only crippled you and did not kill you outright," Gao Fei said indifferently.
"You might as well have killed us." Xiahou Bing said with a trembling voice: "We are cripples now, better off dead."
"If you don't want to live anymore, go ahead and kill yourselves after you get out. I certainly won't stop you." Gao Fei walked forward, picked up Xiahou Bing and the others, and left the basent.
...
In a magnificent and splendid hall.
Xiahou Wei and the others sat together, engaged in a fierce debate.
"I suggested from the start not to pay the ransom so easily, but no one listened." One of the noblen said: "See, now the bandits took the ransom, and we have no idea how they'll treat our children."
"Could you just shut up! Stop shouting and causing a scene here."
"What, am I wrong?"
"To your old mother, you are."
"Say that again, I dare you!"
"I just did, what are you going to do about it!"
"You're looking for a fight, aren't you!"
"Yes, I am looking for a fight! I have pent-up rage and nowhere to vent it!"
"Enough, let's all stop arguing." Xiahou Wei slamd the table: "I called you here to discuss how to rescue our children, not to listen to you bicker."
"How do we rescue them?" Linghu Wuheng said gruffly: "We know nothing about the bandits, no idea where to find them."
"We'll find a clue eventually." Xiahou Wei said.
