"Heh, yes, Ye Ziling. You're the precious daughter. Please don't apologize to , the nobody who has never appeared in Wu City. Otherwise, you'd lose face, wouldn't you?"
Qin Yu's lips curled up slightly, his tone laced with a hint of mockery.
The Ye Family was the southern overlord, with a far-reaching reputation. Now, they were at his rcy, and frankly, that felt pretty damn good.
"I won't apologize to you. What are you going to do about it?"
Ye Ziling turned her head, her eyes sowhat bloodshot, glaring at Qin Yu with resentnt.
Her father and older brother, Ye Qianzhong, were both present. Would he dare to lay a hand on her?
Yet, to Ye Haolong's ears, Qin Yu's words carried a different aning. Especially the phrase "has never appeared in Wu City," which was clearly a reminder of Ye Haozhan erasing his traces in Wu City. Under the guise of "Wu Feng," he could easily be the assassin who ruthlessly targets the Ye Family.
At this mont, it seed that, aside from Ye Qianzhong, no one in the Ye Family could confront Qin Yu head-on.
What appeared to be an offhand remark was in fact a blatant threat.
"Ziling....."
Ye Haolong gritted his teeth, feeling as if they were throbbing with pain, his chest heavy as if a mountain were pressing down on him.
As the Family Head of the Ye Family, when had he ever felt so suffocated?
But if his daughter didn't apologize to this youngster, the Ye Family would likely suffer more deaths tonight.
For just a bit of pride, the cost was far too great.
As the head of the family, he certainly couldn't afford to be as stubborn as his daughter. He had to think about the bigger picture.
In the end, he patted his daughter's shoulder, his voice hoarse, "Listen, apologize to him!"
"Dad...."
Ye Ziling's voice was filled with grievance and confusion, tears swirling in her eyes.
She had been slapped twice and now had to apologize to him. How could she face anyone in Wu City after this?
"Listen!"
Ye Haolong's eyes also had traces of blood vessels, indicative of his raging fury, but he was completely powerless and dared not gamble with the lives of the Ye Family.
"Ziling, listen to Dad!"
As the heir of the Ye Family, the next Family Head, Ye Tianci possessed far deeper insight and shrewder intellect than his sister.
His father hadn't lost his senses; there must be a reason for his actions.
He joined his sister and gave her a knowing look as he spoke.
"Fine, Mr. Qin... I apologize. Sorry..."
Ye Ziling's heart bled, her cheeks burning with sha. Her dignity and pride shattered into pieces at that mont.
With trembling voice, she apologized to Qin Yu and gave him a deep look, "However, from now on, I, Ye Ziling, will rember you!"
"I know I'm very handso, but like I said before, even if you throw yourself at , I don't want!"
Qin Yu shrugged as he spoke.
"You... pfft!"
Ye Ziling, out of breath with anger, actually spit out a mouthful of blood from the growing fury.
"Sister, let's go!"
With a cold face, Ye Tianci pulled Ye Ziling away from the crowd.
"Young man, heroes erge from the youth, I admire that. On the eighteenth of the first lunar month, I will await your presence at the Ye Family,"
Ye Haolong spoke indifferently, then turned and walked out of the crowd with Ye Qianzhong.
This statent sent a clear signal that if Qin Yu dared to visit the Ye Family on the eighteenth of the first lunar month, it would surely be a one-way trip for him.
"Phew... never thought it would end like this. Ye Ziling was boasting so tall, yet she still ended up apologizing to soone else!"
The onlookers exhaled, feeling sowhat unfulfilled. They had anticipated that the Ye Family would send Ye Qianzhong to have a fierce three-hundred-round battle with Qin Yu.
"Didn't you hear it? 'I will await your presence on the eighteenth of the first lunar month.' This matter is clearly far from over!"
"Heh heh, we should go to the Ye Family early on the eighteenth of the first lunar month. It's bound to be spectacular!"
"Right, right, the Ye Family will probably pull out all the stops against this kid. Who will erge victorious is truly sothing to look forward to!"
The spectators discussed among themselves as they gradually dispersed.
A few unlucky bodyguards got up and drove away in Ye Ziling's nearly wrecked Ferrari.
"Qin Yu, just coming out with you for a stroll can cause so much trouble!"
Pei Luoyan got out of the car and rolled her eyes as she spoke. However, her tone changed in the next second, "But, I like the thrill of dancing on the edge of a knife. It's exciting!"
"I know so things that are even more thrilling. Wanna give them a try?"
Qin Yu knew Pei Luoyan was also quite a flirt, and wouldn't get angry with a few risqué jokes.
"Let's give it a try. I'm a thirty-sothing woman, there's nothing I haven't seen!"
Pei Luoyan spoke with an indifferent attitude.
"Hehe, just don't get it on my face!"
Qin Yu grinned.
"Your sister!"
A blush surged from Pei Luoyan's sexy cheeks to her ears.
Others might not understand, but she would definitely not forget. She had offended Tang Xuanwu in the past and was cursed with a ridiculous poison that made her climax dozens of tis a day.
She later begged Qin Yu for help to neutralize the poison. In a critical mont, she accidentally got Qin Yu's face covered in it.
She thought he had forgotten, but he hadn't, leaving her utterly embarrassed.
"Sister Yan, what was Mr. Qin talking about?"
Murong Qingcheng asked with a curious baby expression.
"It's nothing good anyway. In the future, you should keep so distance from him, understand?"
Pei Luoyan said earnestly, pulling on Murong Qingcheng's little hand.
"Oh... I actually think Mr. Qin is a pretty nice person!"
Murong Qingcheng replied weakly.
"Humph humph...."
Pei Luoyan didn't express any agreent or disagreent, and as she followed behind Qin Yu with Murong Qingcheng, she watched his tall figure and wondered about her own preferences.
Soon enough,
the three of them arrived at the entrance of Xuanyuan Pavilion.
Two stone lions stood at the gate, with stairs leading up to two red wooden pillars and a roof carved with dragons and phoenixes, exuding an ancient charm.
Inside was the hall, with glass cases displaying antiques, jade, and so rare items.
A man dressed in Tang-style clothes, wearing black-frad glasses and looking like a scholastic, was dusting so calligraphy and paintings on the wall with a feather duster.
"Boss... Do you have any wood struck by lightning?"
Qin Yu got straight to the point.
"Wow, this bracelet is so beautiful!"
Pei Luoyan and Murong Qingcheng were quickly captivated by an erald green bracelet and casually walked over to admire it in front of the glass counter.
"Ahem, that item is not for sale!"
The boss turned around and coughed aningfully.
With the perfection of laws, many things could no longer be privately traded.
"Oh..."
Qin Yu's eyes shifted slightly, realizing the boss had only said it couldn't be sold, but did not say he didn't have it.
He then walked over to the two won, glanced at the bracelets beneath the glass case, and seeing that they ca in a pair, he asked, "These bracelets are quite nice. If I were to buy them, there should be a free gift, right?"
"Those bracelets are very expensive!"
The boss said slowly, basically admitting to the existence of a "free gift."
"Quote a price!"
Qin Yu said heartily.
"Five million!"
The boss put up five fingers.
"Deal!"
Qin Yu didn't bargain, as he didn't care about the value of the bracelets but about the "free gift." Without the wood struck by lightning, he couldn't make the "Thunder Talisman."
"Then I'll wrap them up for you!"
The boss quickly wrapped up the two bracelets and surreptitiously handed over a small box, slipping it inside with them.
"Card!"
After paying, Qin Yu left Xuanyuan Pavilion with the two won, handing them the box with the bracelets: "These are for you!"
Then, unable to wait, he quickly opened the "gift" small box to take a look.
What exactly did the lightning-struck wood look like!
