Chapter 137: Let Da Shixiong Go
Lin Qingyue rarely had a sliver of conscience, so he said a couple of nice words to comfort him. Only then did Li Jing’s anger dissipate.
While their group strolled through the Water Cloud Realm, on the other side, the Han family’s second son, Han Tingâwhom they were inquiring aboutâwas being beaten by his father until his flesh was torn open.
“Do you admit your wrong?”
The Han family patriarch held a silver whip, his face grim. Han Ting knelt on the ground, clenching his teeth, refusing to speak.
His refusal to admit anything or acknowledge his mistake infuriated the silver-whip-wielding Han family head.
The whip in his hand fell, landing another blow on the already lacerated back.
The loud sound made the onlookers tremble with fear and heartache, yet no one dared step forward to stop it.
“From now on, drive that person away for me. If not, I will personally cripple his cultivation and take his life.”
Hearing this, Han Ting looked up, pupils dilated, struggling in panic. “No, you aren’t allowed to touch him!”
Earlier, no matter how much he was beaten, he wouldn’t speak. Now, for the sake of a manâand a man with inferior spiritual roots at thatâhe resisted him.
The Han family head flew into a rage. The whip in his hand struck again without hesitation.
This time, the force was greater than ever. After striking, the anger in his heart didn’t dissipate in the slightest. Instead, he pointed at him and scolded.
“My Han family will absolutely not let a man with inferior spiritual roots disgrace our reputation. Don’t even think about making my Han family a laughingstock.”
“Do you know your fiancĂ©e’s status? Not only is she a direct descendant of the Yu family, but she is also a personal disciple of the Wanjian Sect. Her father is a Peak Lord. If not for a coincidence back then, how could you have this marriage?”
This was a marriage beneficial to their Han family; he would absolutely not let Han Ting ruin it.
Seeing he had beaten him enough, the Han family head stopped.
With a cold face, he looked down at him. “I heard the Yu family child has arrived in the Water Cloud Realm. I give you two days to resolve that man. It’s best not to let the Yu family know about your entanglement with a man.”
He paused. “If you can’t do it, don’t blame me for doing it myself.”
Han Ting disregarded the pain and shouted angrily, “It’s just an unofficial engagement; whether the Yu family acknowledges it is another matter. I won’t agree. If you want to marry, you marry. I won’t agree.”
The Han family head didn’t take his words to heart, simply saying, “It seems you choose to let this old man resolve it personally. Han Ting, you are a member of my Han family; you aren’t qualified to clamor against me yet.”
His expression let Han Ting know his father truly had killing intent and would truly find a way to secure this marriage. He would absolutely not allow him to destroy this marriage, or the chance to cling to the Wanjian Sect and the Yu family.
Enduring the pain, Han Ting grabbed the corner of his robe and begged, “Father, I know I was wrong. Please let Ah Ran go. I agree to this marriage. I will absolutely not hold you back. I will definitely satisfy the Yu family. Trust me.”
Don’t touch Ah Ran, I beg you!
He knelt on the ground, begging miserably. The Han family head kept a dark face and didn’t speak, only giving him an indifferent glance.
Han Ting knelt on the ground, head lowered. “Father, I will resolve it.”
Only after the person left did someone step forward.
“Second Brother, you should listen to Father. Big Brother knows you like him. Save his life first, then talk later. Cut off this affection as soon as possible.”
“Yes, Ting’er. Entangling with a man, what does that look like? Moreover…” That man is a mixed spiritual root cultivator; how can that work?
“Exactly. Leaving aside matching social status, just his mixed spiritual roots won’t allow him to accompany you for long.”
The chaotic persuasion entered Han Ting’s ears one by one. He lowered his eyes in silence.
On this side, Yu Qianqian, who knew nothing, was discussing with Lin Qingyue how to break off the engagement.
Upon learning that Yu Qianqian wanted to break off the engagement, Yuan An, as the hired guard, actively sought to solve the employer’s trouble.
They learned of the existence of a “Know-It-All” in the Water Cloud Realm. Apart from the high price, there were almost no flaws.
As Saber Drawers running around outside, they knew many people and had many channels for information.
The news brought by Yuan An was quite timely; Yu Qianqian hadn’t expected it to be this easy.
“They say ‘know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win a hundred battles.’ This matter is simple.”
She looked toward Li Jing. Li Jing took a step back, shocked. “Why are you looking at me? You aren’t thinking of making me pay for finding the Know-It-All too, are you?”
“Tsk, look at what you’re saying,” Yu Qianqian said. “I just want you to make a trip for me.”
Wasn’t she afraid of exposing herself if she went?
Hearing this, Lin Qingyue pointed at Ye Jingxian beside him. “Why not ask Da Shixiong? He has the highest cultivation here; he won’t be easily seen through.”
In his opinion, Ye Jingxian was the best candidate.
With his Da Shixiong involved, if any accident happened, he would be there. After all, whether in status or cultivation, he was the highest.
What could Ye Jingxian, who was dragged over by his Xiao Shidi, do? Naturally, be with Xiao Shidi. Whatever they did, he would protect them from the side.
Lin Qingyue suggested handing this matter to him. Yu Qianqian looked at Ye Jingxian’s expression, suddenly feeling this method was excellent, and looked at him pleadingly.
Ye Jingxian nodded slightly and agreed.
After finishing their tea, the group decided to go to the gambling den to find this Water Cloud Realm Know-It-All.
“Not in some underground black market?” Yu Qianqian asked curiously.
In the storybooks she read, people were always found in very secretive places.
Yuan An explained, “He likes to gamble.”
Precisely because he liked to gamble, finding him might cost money and be a bit tricky; the price was high.
It was Lin Qingyue’s first time in a place like a gambling den; he was interested in everything he saw. Not just him, the others were the same.
When they found the person, he was gambling enthusiastically at a long table. A crowd surrounded the gambling table, shouting loudly; it was extremely noisy.
After Yuan An pointed out who the Know-It-All was, Lin Qingyue and the others found a corner and waited for Ye Jingxian to go forward.
Lin Qingyue watched the lively gambling table nearby. Li Jing was somewhat eager to try his luck.
Seeing this, he stopped him. “You aren’t thinking of gambling a round, are you?”
Li Jing nodded. “This looks simple. I just need to bet on one side.”
Naive. Truly naive.
Lin Qingyue looked at the gambling table. “Believe it or not, if you sit at the gambling table in these clothes, you’ll be wearing two bright, golden words.”
“‘Rich.’ ‘I am very rich, everyone come slaughter me.’ It’ll definitely be a sure kill.”
After saying that, Lin Qingyue patted his arm. “If worse comes to worst, give the money to me. I have more conscience than them.”
He wanted to refute, but couldn’t find a retort.
“If we come and don’t gamble, it looks abnormal.”
“What’s abnormal?” Lin Qingyue said. “Look at us few not gambling; how normal is that.”
Li Jing was stunned for two seconds before realizing: except for him, everyone here was a sword or saber cultivatorâtypical paupers.
Not going to the table to gamble and acting like country bumpkins watching from the side was completely appropriate.
