Chapter 160: Saving the Bai Family
Jiang Yue looked at the girl and shook his head.
"Too much beauty is a disaster." He muttered in a low voice, but Yu Nianzhen still heard him.
The swordsman looked at his intended and tried not to smile.
’Is he one to say? If we are talking about beauty, he is more of a disaster than Bai Ying.’ Yu Nianzhen thought and immediately became gloomy.
In the secret realm, Jiang Yue was approached by many people. Fortunately, everyone was an origin-forging realm cultivator and could be easily dealt with.
However, things were not so easy in the world outside the sect.
If Jiang Yue was coveted by a person they couldn’t handle, things could turn out very badly.
’Let’s buy masks after we leave here.’ He thought and nodded his head in satisfaction.
"XiaoYing..." Bai patriarch called and looked at the girl.
His eyes were red, and he looked at his second daughter in helplessness.
"Give my father the antidote." The girl ignored her father and spoke to the person at the front of the hall.
Although she was only thirteen, she was not naïve.
She knew her Bai family could not win today, and if they insisted, they would be destroyed.
In that case, she could only sacrifice herself.
This was not what she wanted, but she was willing to do it to save her family. As long as her Bai family survived, there would be a chance for revenge.
"Ying’er is here." The eighth young master Wang said in a sweet voice.
Bai Ying shuddered in revulsion but her eyes were determined.
"Does eighth young master Wang not intend to keep the promise?" She asked.
A flash of annoyance flashed in the man’s eyes, but he schooled his features and looked at the young girl with a doting look.
"There is no hurry..."
The girl sneered, and hatred appeared in her eyes as she looked at the man.
In the next moment, her lips curled in a creepy smile, and she grabbed a dagger from her waist belt. Before anyone could react, she slashed her left wrist, and blood spouted out like a fountain.
"XiaoYing..."
"Ying’er..."
"Second young miss..."
Several voices called at the same time, but the girl didn’t seem to hear them.
"Eighth young master Wang, your Wang family is powerful, but you don’t have the ability to cover the sky with one hand. What will the sect say when they know the city lord’s mansion forced a young girl to commit suicide?"
After saying that, she lifted the dagger and plunged it toward her chest.
However, a gentle hand gripped her wrist, and the dagger fell to the ground.
"Let’s stop here." A voice reverberated in the large hall.
The voice was cold, and the eighth young master felt like a boulder was pressing on his head.
"Who?" He asked and looked around.
A moment later, Jiang Yue and Yu Nianzhen cancelled their invisibility talismans and appeared in front of everyone.
"Who are you?" The eighth young master Wang asked in a bad tone.
Without his noticing, two strangers had somehow entered the hall.
One wore a colourful red robe that was in complete contrast with his expressionless face and cold demeanour.
The other was a silver-haired beauty and was the one who stopped Bai Ying from stabbing herself.
"XiaoYing, you should never take your body to protest." Jiang Yue said lightly.
After that, he released her hand and removed a bottle from his storage ring.
He took a pill from the bottle, broke it into several pieces, and sent a small one into the girl’s mouth.
After that, he placed his palm on the girl’s back and helped her refine the small portion of the low-grade silver rank rejuvenation pill.
"I asked who you are..." The eighth young master Wang spoke through gritted teeth and stood up.
However, no one answered him.
Instead, Yu Nianzhen walked to the Bai patriarch and held his arm.
A moment later, the patriarch felt a prick on his wrist, and pain threaded from that point to each of his veins.
Just when he came to his senses and wanted to attack, Yu Nianzhen let go of his arm, and the patriarch vomited a big mouthful of blood.
"Father..." Bai Ying shouted.
"Children’s father..." His wife called.
"Patriarch..." The gathered clan members shouted.
"Bastard, what have you done?" An elder screamed as he tried to stand up.
"Don’t worry..., I am fine..." A weak voice said.
The patriarch lifted his eyes and looked at the person in front of him.
At first, he didn’t recognise the person, but an image of the younger version of the person appeared in his mind, and his eyes widened.
"Young master Yu, are you back?" Bai patriarch asked.
When the others heard the patriarch’s words, they looked at Yu Nianzhen in curiosity.
When Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue entrusted their bullock cart to the Bai family, they only met Bai Zheng and the patriarch.
All others had only heard of the two young men but had never met them.
"We are back." Yu Nianzhen said simply.
"Thank you for removing the qi leeching worm."
"Bai patriarch doesn’t need to mention it. It is what I should do."
For Yu Nianzhen, removing this kind of qi leeching worm was a simple matter. All he needed to do was inject an intent sword into the person’s vein.
After the intent found the worm, Yu Nianzhen directly killed it and dissipated the intent sword to prevent it from wreaking havoc in the person’s body.
"Are you Yu Nianzhen? I have heard of you." The eighth young master said and looked at the swordsman warily.
Back then, Wang Hui provoked the two’s bullock, and even his father got involved.
However, the respected father was also frightened by the bullock and had to escape.
Later, they heard that the bullock was with the Bai family, but after a few incidents, there was no longer anyone who dared to hit the bullock’s idea.
"A big man like you still wants to hit the idea of a child." Jiang Yue said and sneered.
His eyes were filled with killing intent, and he could barely stop himself from taking action.
"This fellow Daoist, this matter has nothing to do with you?" The eighth young master said.
"I am making it my business." Jang Yue said, and Yu Nianzhen moved to help the remaining two elders to remove the qi-leeching worms.
"This fellow Daoist, don’t be unreasonable."
"I like being unreasonable. What can you do?"
"Do you know who I am?"
"Tell me." Jiang Yue pretended not to know and asked.
"I am the eighth young master of the city lord’s residence." As he spoke, the beast looked at Jiang Yue proudly.
However, he didn’t get the reaction he wanted.
Jiang Yue just looked at him in contempt before he sneered.
"Now that I know, should I apologise on my knees and leave you to continue?"
"It’s good to have this self-awareness."
"What’s the use of talking with this kind of beast?" Yu Nianzhen said after he finished helping the last elder.
He then walked toward the eighth young master with a sword in his hand.
"You..., what are you doing?" The eighth young master panicked when he saw the sudden change in the script.
"I am going to kill you to eliminate the scourge." Yu Nianzhen said without any fluctuations in his voice.
When the eighth young master heard that, he panicked a little more.
"What are you doing? Don’t you know to protect me?" He screamed at the cultivators he brought to the Bai family.
At this moment, they all seemed to wake from a stupor.
Everything happened so fast and unexpectedly that they failed to react quickly.
However, after hearing the young master’s order, they rushed forward and stood between the young master and Yu Nianzhen.
Unfortunately for them, Yu Nianzhen was hoping for this situation.
Although he wasn’t a good person that would go out of their way to fight injustice, he had a bottom line.
Since he had appeared at the Bai family at this time, there was no way he could stand around and watch the young girl being forced by a man who was less than a beast.
Without a word, Yu Nianzhen swung his sword.
With that swing, a dozen raindrops flew to the guards and swiftly stabbed between their eyebrows.
In less than a breath, all the guards collapsed and died without resistance.
"You..., you killed them?" The eighth young master screamed.
"I am the son of the city lord. My father will never let you go if you do something to me."
"When do I need a mere city lord to let me go?"
At worst, Yu Nianzhen would use one of the jade attack cards given by his master to defeat the city lord.
Although it was troublesome to file a report with the sect, he was in the right in this matter and would only be lightly punished.
"I will give you one chance to live." Yu Nianzhen said.
