Chapter 2252 Can’t You Guys Lend A Hand?(3)
These words made master Yao"s face darken even more. Then, he said ruthlessly,""I can only agree to half of the compensation you ask for!"
To be honest, even half of it would hurt him, but he knew that if he gave too little, these people would definitely not agree. So, he gritted his teeth and thought of it as spending money to avoid disaster!
When the head of the Cheng family and the others heard this, they were overjoyed, but they didn"t show it on their faces. In fact, they had written so many things because of old man ning"s idea. In old man ning"s words, old man Yao would definitely haggle the price. If they asked for too little, they might get nothing. When they heard this, they felt that it was reasonable. Therefore, they had such a compensation that made the head of the Yao family grit his teeth and feel a deep pain in his heart. And the facts proved that old man ning was right. It was only half of the compensation. It had already exceeded their expectations. It could be said that they were quite satisfied.
However, they still pretended to be dissatisfied. With the Cheng family head as their representative, they said very reluctantly,""Old man Yao, so many of our people were poisoned by your Yao family, yet you"re only paying us half of what we"re asking for. Isn"t that a little too much?"
"That"s a lot!" The head of the Yao clan said angrily.
"We want two-thirds!" The head of the Cheng family pretended to haggle.
"I"ll only give half! Do you want it or not!" The head of the Yao family said with a look of indifference.
Hearing him say this, the four of them looked at each other. In the end, they had no choice but to nod in agreement.
When the head of the Yao family saw this, he felt extremely proud. Hmph! He was the final Victor. If these people wanted to take advantage of him, there was no way!
However, if he knew that the other party was already very satisfied with just half of the compensation, he would probably vomit blood in anger!
Seeing that the issue of compensation had been settled, the head of the Yao clan wanted to start discussing Leng ruoxue"s matter with them. However, the head of the Cheng clan and the others demanded that he pay the compensation first.
The Yao family head wouldn"t allow them to go back on their word after viciously taking the items they wanted to compensate them with.
Originally, discussing Leng ruoxue"s matter was the reason why he had invited these people here. However, because of the poisoning incident, he had not had the chance to discuss it. Now that the culprit had been found and the compensation to the four families had been paid, he had to take the opportunity to talk about Leng ruoxue. Otherwise, wouldn"t the price that the Yao family had paid be in vain?
His heart was bleeding when he thought of the precious items that had left him.
However, when the patriarch of the Cheng clan heard his words, he couldn"t help but say,""Old man Yao, you"re not going to settle the score with those snakes and take back the snake venom we want, but you"re still in the mood to discuss the matter of that little girl Xue "er, your heart is really big! There are so many infected people in the Yao family who are still waiting for you to save them! As the head of the family, you can"t let them down!"
"Aren"t you all the same, doing nothing all day! What right do you have to criticize me?" The head of the Yao family roared, clearly not in a good mood. On the other hand, the head of the Cheng family and the others, who had received quite a bit of compensation, were in a good mood and naturally didn"t mind his tone.
Then, he heard the head of the Cheng family say with a smile,""How can we be the same as you? Although our family members are also poisoned, but it"s much less severe than your Yao family"s poison. Your Yao family"s poison is contagious, and who knows if there will be more Yao family members infected. So, no matter what, you should be more anxious than us. "
"That"s right, I suggest that you first cure the poison of the poisoned person, then we can discuss other things! Otherwise, if the Yao family members find out, they will be disappointed in you as the head of the family! I don"t think we should disturb you any further. We"ll take our leave first!" The master of the yin family echoed. After he finished speaking, he stood up and was about to leave.
Seeing this, the others also planned to leave.
When the head of the Yao family saw this, he immediately became anxious. He hurriedly blocked their path and shouted,"None of you are allowed to leave before we finish discussing Leng ruoxue"s matter!"
Looking at the Yao family head"s determined look, the ning family head and the others were helpless. Just as they were hesitating about how to deal with it, they saw the ninth elder of the Yao family run into the living room, sweating.
"Patriarch, something has happened to the first elder and the others!" Elder Yao Jiu couldn"t care less about the presence of others as he spoke anxiously.
"What did they do?" The head of the Yao clan couldn"t help but frown at these words.
"They"ve been captured by the Azure Snake Clan!" Elder Yao Jiu reported. He had also just received the news. Because he had been unable to contact the great elder and the others, he had personally gone to look for them. However, he had learned that they had returned to the main city. After investigating from many sides, he finally found clues that the great elder and the others had been captured.
In fact, the great elder had been secretly competing with him. Therefore, when he found out that the great elder had been captured, he was still gloating. However, he had to inform the master of the family. After all, the great elder was not the only one who had been captured.
"Dammit! It"s the blue snake Clan again!" The Yao family head"s face was as black as ink. It could also be said that his expression today had never been normal!
"Old man Yao, you"d better quickly go and save your Yao family"s Grand Elder and the others! Now that they"ve fallen into the Azure snake"s hands, I can"t imagine how much torture they"ll have to endure!" Seeing this, the head of the Cheng clan asked with a face full of concern. In reality, he wanted to go and watch the show and find those blue snakes to get their snake venom. However, the premise was that elder Yao Jiu had to know the location of the blue snake Clan. Otherwise, wouldn"t all his efforts be in vain?
"Where are those dead snakes?" Even though he was angry that they could not talk about Leng ruoxue again, he could not deny that old man Cheng"s words were not without reason.
No matter how useless first elder and the others were, they were still his descendants and members of the Yao family. Naturally, they couldn"t fall into the hands of a snake! If that was the case, where would the Yao family put their face?
"Someone saw a group of snakes on a cliff near the Yao family"s divine realm. I wonder if they"re the ones who kidnapped the first elder and the others." Elder Yao Jiu said with uncertainty.
"That"s easy, we"ll know when we go and take a look!" The head of the Cheng clan immediately suggested upon hearing this. He was so eager to set off immediately.
"Let"s go and take a look!" After a moment of silence, the head of the Yao family spoke.
He was the first to leave.
Seeing this, the other family heads also teleported away.
Very quickly, the Yao family head and the others arrived at the cliff.
Sure enough, they saw the Yao family"s first elder and the others hanging on the cliff like goods. However, at this time, their image was not very good, because the Yao family"s elders were hanging upside down and only wore small underpants. The rest of their bodies were bare. Moreover, their skin was pale without a trace of blood. In the rustling autumn wind, they were s.h.i.+vering from the cold.
Seeing this, the head of the Cheng family couldn"t help but sigh.""Aiya, that"s so pitiful! How come they"ve been stripped naked?"
His words, unsurprisingly, received a roll of eyes from the head of the Yao family!
Retracting his gaze, the Yao clan head instructed elder Yao Jiu,""Hurry up and put them down!"
"Yes!" "Yes," elder Yao Jiu replied. Then, he looked around vigilantly. After confirming that there were no enemies, he walked to the edge of the cliff with confidence.
Just as he was about to untie the elder closest to him, he suddenly realized that the rope tied to the elder had moved and was baring its sharp venomous fangs at him. Instantly, elder Yao Jiu was so frightened that he took a huge step back!
F * ck! This wasn"t a rope, it was a snake! However, these snakes were thin and long, and they did not move. They looked no different from ropes.
The head of the Yao family and the others also realized that the ropes that were holding the Yao family elders were not real ropes, but live snakes. For a moment, they all forgot to react.
Ugh! "This idea is really too original," the head of the Cheng clan and the others couldn"t help but think to themselves. Only the head of the Yao clan was observing those "ropes", and then, to his surprise, he began to attack ...
"Old man Yao! How can you attack? Don"t you care about the lives of these Yao family elders?" The head of the Cheng clan couldn"t help but remind her.
As he spoke, he once again received a dagger glare from the head of the Yao family. As he finished speaking, he personally witnessed an elder of the Yao family being thrown off the rope and falling off the cliff. Seeing this, he quickly covered his mouth and thought,"am I a jinx?" How could he be so accurate?
As for the "rope" that was attacked by the head of the Yao family, it nimbly climbed up a huge tree and escaped!
This scene made the family heads sympathize with the elder who had fallen off the cliff. In fact, it was all the fault of the family head that the elder had lost his footing. They didn"t know if that fellow would die with his eyes wide open!
But fortunately, that elder was unconscious when he fell and didn"t know anything. Otherwise, they would have been killed by the screams! The few of them secretly complained to themselves without any sympathy.
However, when they saw the gloomy face of the Yao family"s head, they didn"t say anything more, but they didn"t intend to help! Seeing this, the head of the Yao family was furious. In the end, he couldn"t help but roar,""Can"t you guys lend a hand?"
"Uh!" Hearing this, the other family heads looked at each other. Then, they saw the Cheng family head say with a troubled expression,""We"re so clumsy. If we accidentally push your family"s elder off the cliff, won"t you blame us? If you don"t blame us, we"ll help you!"
"Can"t you guys be more careful?" The head of the Yao family asked, holding back his anger. In his eyes, these were clearly excuses from the other party. However, he didn"t dare to get angry, afraid that these people would quit in a fit of anger. After all, with these people around, even if they didn"t care about anything, they still had a deterrent effect!
To put it bluntly, it was better to have them around than to have none!
