Chapter 517 – Those Who Know Nothing Fear Nothing
The s.h.i.+ siblings received an urgent transmission from their family. After the anxious siblings read it, a look of happiness appeared on both their faces. This was because the message said that some Demonic Path n.o.ble family had decided to return to their land and the s.h.i.+ Family had taken this chance to seek refuge from them. After careful consideration, this other party agreed.
This proved that the s.h.i.+ Family was no longer some rootless plant floating about. They had their own backer now, so certain people couldn’t move against them even if they wanted to. The message their father sent them also had another meaning; they were to immediately return home, lest they were deliberately provoked or angered and caused trouble outside.
This was their light at the end of the tunnel. The s.h.i.+ siblings didn’t even have much time to remain surprised. They immediately ordered the other cultivators in their group to gather all their belongings and left their room in a hurry.
…
Duan San’er glanced over as the group of people happily left. Yesterday these people all had sad faces, but now they were all happy and breathing out sighs of relief. He didn’t understand, but there were more important things that he was puzzled over right now. For instance, he had currently come into conflict with a guest, but he was lost because it wasn’t as if he had cursed at them or anything.
He opened his mouth to speak but the guest across from him didn’t even give him a chance to explain. A foot smashed into him and Duan San’er felt his chest cave in a little. He spat out a mouthful of blood, his breathing low and his face as pale as white silk.
“You stupid dog, don’t think that just because you grabbed onto a thick thigh you can be arrogant with me. Now I am going to teach you why flowers are red!” A man in embroidered robes with a jade belt ruthlessly spat out at him, his manner conceited and imperious. He was the spitting image of an arrogant young master.
The manager’s forehead was covered in sweat. He put on a groveling smile and bowed deeply, “Young Master Qi, you are kind and benevolent, please don’t stoop to the same level as this useless trash. You d.a.m.ned fool, how dare you be so impolite to Young Master Qi, see how I punish you later! Now hurry up and get out of here!”
Qi Yunshu coldly sneered. “Hold on. Today I am in a bad mood so I want to take him and enjoy myself. You don’t have to attend to this matter; otherwise, don’t blame me for not giving you any face.”
The manager’s smile stiffened. He wanted to say something, but beneath Qi Yunshu’s cold gaze he could only swallow his words. As the general manager of Dawnperch Hotel, he could be considered someone with a certain degree of status. Normally, he shouldn’t need to be so distressed, but the Qi Family was one of the secret masters behind Dawnperch Hotel. Since he worked for them, he naturally couldn’t display an overly strong att.i.tude in front of them. He glanced over at Duan San’er with worry, and then sighed inwardly before bowing and drawing back.
Qin Yunshu’s face lit up. He sneered and waved his hand. “What are you all doing? Bring that boy over here. I want to see just who gave him the guts of a leopard and the heart of a bear.”
A group of tall and coa.r.s.e guards rushed over and started kicking and punching. Although these people pulled their punches, Duan San’er was still left covered in black and blue. He was beaten to a pulp and when he was dragged over he had already fainted.
Pa –
A cold chill struck his face, instantly freezing his skin. A stabbing pain pierced deep into his heart and Duan San’er woke up with a pitiful cry. As he tried to scream he pulled his facial muscles and the frozen skin rapidly collapsed, revealing long cracks that flowed with blood.
Qi Yunshu frowned, a look of disdain on his face. He took out a jade ruler and lifted Duan San’er’s chin. “Brat, tell me who your backer is and let me see if he can suppress us. Otherwise, I fear there is nowhere for you to go.”
Duan San’er was startled. From these words, he could hear a tinge of bloodthirst. If he didn’t give a satisfactory answer, these people would surely kill him. Of course, in order to maintain some semblance of order, these people would be punished afterwards. But, they would at most be forced to pay some spirit stones. To pay with a life for murdering someone else, there was no need to think about this.
“Young…young master…what…do…you want….to know…?” As he spoke, some of his teeth began to fall out. Thinking about how he was so high-spirited not too long ago, he almost cried.
Qi Yunshu waved his hand and the jade ruler emitted a loud slapping sound. Duan San’er’s bruised cheek swelled up even more and two more teeth flew out.
“This is the wrong answer. Think carefully about what I asked.”
Duan San’er turned dizzy as the world spun around him and the shadows in his field of vision deepened. But as he heard these words, his heart still shrank. Qi Yunshu and these people had deliberately come here to stir up trouble today. He knew that he didn’t have the qualifications for these people to waste their time to purposefully embarra.s.s him like this.
Yes, even if a person was being embarra.s.sed, one had to look at whether or not they had the qualifications to be.
Since they didn’t come for him, once Duan San’er thought of the question again, his body trembled as he realized the only likely possibility.
These people had come for Lord Yao Bin!
To describe it more eloquently, when there was a fire at the city gates, it would also be a calamity for fish in the moat.
To put it more bluntly, he was being unjustly implicated.
If he spoke out Yao Bin’s name, nothing should happen to him right? But, did he really dare to say these words out loud? Yao Bin was someone that even the True Demon Guards treated politely. If he provoked that person, he would be sent beyond redemption and even his little sister would be dragged into this mess.
But if he didn’t say anything, at best he would just suffer, he might not really die…Duan San’er wasn’t stupid; this was the best choice for him. “Young Master Qi, I have eyes but couldn’t see. I offended you, but this has nothing to do with anyone else. I ask that Young Master Qi show benevolence and not punish me too much. Please spare my lowly life!”
Qi Yunshu kicked out, leaving both of Duan San’er’s cheeks swollen. “Brat, I will ask you one more time, are you going to speak or not?” This time he was really moved to anger. He had been entrusted by others with the task of coming here, it wasn’t as if he could come here to put on an act and display his own prestige. He had already taken payment, so if he left here with nothing wouldn’t that be the same as taking a stone and smas.h.i.+ng it on his own feet?
Duan San’er felt his bones crack. The pain was so deep that his surroundings flashed black all around him. He shook his head with effort and found that he couldn’t speak anymore.
Qi Yunshu was angered, “Good! Very good! Since you want to die, then let me help you along. Beat him to death! I will bear any consequences!”
Duan San’er closed his eyes, but the angry rain of blows didn’t arrive as he expected. The sound of several heavy thuds and pained cries entered his ears. He struggled to open his eyes and saw a black-robed figure in front of him. Duan San’er sobbed and tried to bow his head.
Qin Yu had a calm tone. “This matter doesn’t have anything to do with you. Leave.”
Qi Yunshu was startled for a moment before he was immediately overjoyed. “Who are you?”
Brat, you actually jumped in on your own initiative! This was what they called searching far and wide only to find what you wanted right in front of you!
Qin Yu had no expression. “Screw off!”
Normally, he wouldn’t be bothered with paying attention to such things that were too pathetic to show in public. But, just who was it today that was deliberately trying to set him up?
The situation wasn’t this simple.
Qi Yunshu was enraged. He clenched his teeth, “You scoundrel! Just who are you that you dare be so disrespectful to me! Men, seize him for me!” The ones to capture this person wouldn’t be those idiots scattered all over the ground. Rather, there were genuine experts around him, the personal bodyguards of his father.
In order to mobilize these people, Qi Yunshu had put in a great deal of effort and paid a considerable price to have his family let him use them. But as long as this matter was completed, everything would be worth it.
Whoosh –
Whoosh –
Three figures howled out, each of them carrying a saber in their hands. Their faces were firm and resolute.
Qi Yunshu pointed a finger, “It’s him!”
In the next moment three saber lights came howling out like bolts of white silk. They were like a waterfall plunging down from the highest heavens, shocking one’s heart and soul.
This was strong saber intent, a true killing saber. It was unknown how many people one had to kill to condense such killing intent.
Moreover, the most incredible thing was that even though these three saber lights came from different sources, they shared the same origin as if they were formed from the same saber technique. Each saber slash complemented the others.
Three sabers became one; it arrived honestly and openly!
Qin Yu’s eyes flashed and he revealed a bit of surprise. These three initial Blue Sea cultivators were able to join forces and erupt with a power comparable to a Revered Blue Sea. But, this was only a bit of surprise. As for worry…there was no need.
He lifted a hand and thrust outwards. The radiant saber lights seemed to collide with an invisible mountain. They shook and collapsed. The three saber wielders all revealed looks of surprise, almost dropping the weapons in their hands. They coughed out loud and drew back, heavily landing on the ground.
They only managed to stop themselves after being forced several steps back. Blood energy tumbled in the chests of these people and the web of their hands was cracked open with blood dripping out. As they looked at Qin Yu once more, there was awe and dread in their eyes. This was because they knew that this other person could casually crush them to death if he wanted; it wouldn’t be difficult to kill them at all.
One of the guards cupped his hands together. “I thank you for showing mercy.” He turned and said, “Young master, we should leave!” To be so young and have such strength, it naturally wasn’t good to provoke such a character. And seeing that Qin Yu had been merciful in his actions, it was of course best to retreat first.
Qi Yunshu was stunned. He never expected that these guards who accompanied his father and were boasted of as being incomparably fierce would actually be so useless today. It was just a single saber strike and they had been pushed back and even injured. It was too shameful!
His face flushed red and he stamped his feet. “Tras.h.!.+ You are all tras.h.!.+” He pointed a finger at Qin Yu. “You b.a.s.t.a.r.d, do you know who I am? You dare to touch my people!?”
Qin Yu had a calm expression. “I don’t know who you are, nor do I care. I will only warn you – don’t provoke me again.”
The complexions of the three guards changed. From this calm voice, they could sense a bit of blood and slaughter. One of the guards said in a low voice, “Young master, if you don’t leave then we can only truthfully report this matter to the old master today!”
Qi Yunshu’s complexion paled. He turned and walked away. The three guards relaxed and then cupped their hands towards Qin Yu before following close behind.
But just as Qi Yunshu was about to leave, he suddenly stopped. His cold eyes glared at Duan San’er. Nothing had gone well today, so he was going to vent himself on this brat! When he said that he wanted to enjoy himself with this brat before, that had only been an excuse. But now he had truly become an undeserved target of anger!
“Duan San’er, right? I heard you have a little sister and that she looks quite nice.”
Duan San’er stiffened, fear in his eyes.
Qi Yunshu turned and coldly sneered. “There is plenty of time ahead of us, right? At that time, watch and see how I ruin her!”
Qin Yu frowned.
His silent appearance caused Qi Yunshu to laugh out loud, the anger in his heart easing a little.
This was the elegant style that a young master should have. Wherever he lost face, he would grab it back.
Hum hum! Anyone that dared to oppose him would never have a good ending!
Qin Yu let out a long breath, a bit of helplessness on his face. “Why are there always people who are the living manifestation of the phrase ‘those who know nothing fear nothing’?”
The three guards immediately changed their expressions. They spun around and lifted their sabers. Although they were angered about Qi Yunshu’s reckless and blind actions, they still couldn’t watch on helplessly as something happened to him.
But this time, Qin Yu didn’t even give them the chance to attack. There was a gust of wind and the three guards were sent flying away, vomiting blood.
Qin Yu’s iron-like hand lifted Qi Yunshu from the ground. Looking at his red face, he said, “Tell me, do you think I dare to kill you?”
