Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 705 - 703 I Said This!
705: Chapter 703: I Said This!
705 -703: I Said This!
“Hm?”
Zhou Wulong, who was about to speak, immediately shut his mouth.
Zhou Ku and the strong man from Black Hawk Stronghold turned their heads together, looking in the direction of the sound, and saw Xiao Yi, with an amused expression, slowly approaching from afar.
His pace wasn’t fast.
Neither hurried nor slow.
But with each step he took, he covered dozens of yards, and in just a moment, he appeared in front of the merchant caravan.
The third-in-command of Black Hawk Stronghold squinted at Xiao Yi, and from within his black eye sockets beneath a silver mask, he shot out two cold gleams and said coldly, “Who are you?
How dare you meddle in Black Hawk Stronghold’s affairs?”
Xiao Yi shrugged his shoulders.
“A bunch of thieving trash deserves to know my name?”
“You…”
The expressions of the strong men from Black Hawk Stronghold changed simultaneously.
Even when glancing at Zhou Ku and the others, they now harbored an icy and fierce intent to kill.
Zhou Ku’s face changed repeatedly as he shouted, “Third-in-command, this person has nothing to do with us at Titan Commerce Chamber!” While speaking, Zhou Ku glared at Xiao Yi and yelled, “Who are you, kid?
Don’t you know these are men of Black Hawk Stronghold?
If you want to die, nobody will stop you, but don’t drag us into it!”
Zhou Wulong wore a sullen expression and remained silent.
Xiao Yi let out a sound.
Looking at Zhou Ku with a strange expression, he raised his eyebrows and said, “Are you in such a hurry to throw me out?”
“I don’t know you at all, don’t drag us down…” Zhou Ku barked angrily.
Xiao Yi shrugged his shoulders and then looked towards the third-in-command, the cold light flickering in his eyes.
The aura of the Dharma Phase Realm Peak locked onto the third-in-command, causing him and his men to shudder.
Just the pressure of this aura made them feel as if they were in the despairing Dark Abyss, unable to see their fingers in front of their faces, with only fear and death to accompany them.
While this sensation was fleeting,
it had already allowed the stronghold’s strong men to deeply perceive Xiao Yi’s power and terror, and their gaze towards him was now filled with a sense of horror.
Xiao Yi slowly withdrew the aura suppression and said indifferently, “Apart from him, everyone else here is under my protection, and I mean what I say!”
“Uh…”
“Hahaha, kid, who do you think you are?
You really think you can make the brave men of Black Hawk Stronghold back off with just one sentence?”
Zhou Ku laughed so hard on horseback that he was rocking back and forth, “I can’t anymore, where did this comedian come from?
He’s cracking me up…”
However…
Before Zhou Ku could finish his speech,
the third-in-command from Black Hawk Stronghold suddenly said, “Fine, Black Hawk Stronghold will grant this face to you.” Pausing for a moment, his palm, covered in cold sweat, gripped the war saber at his waist as if holding onto the blade could provide him a sense of security, and pointed at the laughing Zhou Ku, “Leave this idiot behind, the rest of you can go!”
“…”
Zhou Ku, with a dumbfounded expression, looked incredulously at the third-in-command.
Zhou Wulong and the others also had their faces change rapidly.
No one had anticipated that the third-in-command would actually let them go just because of the young man’s single sentence, and even respected the young man’s will, leaving only Zhou Ku behind.
Gulp!
Zhou Ku trembled all over, glaring at the third-in-command, “What do you mean by this, Third?”
“Shut up!”
The third-in-command let out a cold snort, his eyes icy as he looked at Zhou Ku, “Who gave you the courage to provoke this sir?
How can I appease this sir’s wrath if I don’t kill you today?”
“I, I, I…” Zhou Ku looked towards Xiao Yi with a face full of despair.
He finally understood that all of this was because of Xiao Yi!
This young man whom he had not taken seriously.
Actually, with just one sentence, had resolved the plan he and the vice president had conspired, and had almost cost him his life.
“No, no…”
Zhou Ku knew if he were left behind, there would be nothing but a dead end, whether it was Black Hawk Stronghold, the vice president, or the madam in the carriage, none would let him off.
With this thought, Zhou Ku was suddenly overcome with a reckless courage and charged towards the carriage where the madam was.
“Not good!”
“Protect the madam!”
Zhou Wulong’s expression changed drastically, just as he was about to make a move.
A streak of cold light suddenly flashed by his side, as Xiao Yi stepped out and caught up with the galloping Zhou Ku.
With a flick of his finger, a silver light grazed past Zhou Ku.
Boom!
Zhou Ku’s body shook violently, splitting in two and falling onto the ground.
The gust of wind that picked up lifted the curtains of the carriage.
And that allowed Xiao Yi to see the beautiful lady inside the carriage!
“Hm?”
Xiao Yi’s pupils contracted slightly, this madam was indeed exceedingly beautiful, but what stunned him even more was that she bore an incredible resemblance to Huang Yuwei.
Xiao Yi landed in front of the carriage, his gaze fixed on the madam.
The proprietress was also visibly shocked, her vermilion lips slightly parted.
She noticed Xiao Yi’s eyes fixed on her with intense focus.
The color of the proprietress’s face turned bright red, and after a moment’s hesitation, her cool voice coughed lightly, “Thank you for saving my life, young master, but…
staring at me like that, isn’t it a bit presumptuous?”
“Uh…”
Xiao Yi gave an awkward smile and said, “May I ask if madam recognizes Huang Yuwei and Huang Baitao?”
“Hmm?”
The proprietress looked at Xiao Yi with a stunned expression full of doubt, “You know Yuwei and my brother-in-law?”
Yuwei?
Brother-in-law?
Is this Huang Feihu’s sister-in-law?
Xiao Yi was taken aback.
He hadn’t expected such a coincidence and to encounter an acquaintance here; he shrugged and said, “I’m friends with Yuwei, and the Lord of Huang Baitao is my dear old friend…”
“This…”
The proprietress’s face lit up with joy, but then she frowned and said, “Does the young master have any proof?”
Over the years, too many people had approached her under various pretenses.
She had to be cautious!
Xiao Yi pondered for a moment, took out the Token of Beast Emperor City’s lord, and said, “Madam, please look!”
Hisss!
The proprietress looked at the token in her hand.
It indeed was the lord’s token, which she had seen in Huang Yuwei’s possession before.
She returned the token to Xiao Yi and finally believed his identity, saying, “Please forgive me, young master.
I, Chen Jing, owe you an apology!”
“No matter!”
Xiao Yi waved his hand and smiled, “I never imagined I’d meet Yuwei’s aunt here…”
“Indeed!
If it weren’t for the young master, Chen Jing might have fallen prey to their clutches today…”
Chen Jing said softly with a wry smile.
Suddenly.
Her expression darkened slightly as she looked at Zhou Wulong approaching.
Zhou Wulong, with his head down, murmured, “Madam, I’m truly sorry, it is all my subordinate’s…”
“Enough!
We’ll discuss your issue later…”
Chen Jing replied coolly, and when looking towards Xiao Yi, her face bore a bright smile that made Zhou Wulong’s heart fill with jealousy.
He said softly, “May I ask where the young master is headed?”
Xiao Yi shrugged and replied, “I intend to find a city with a crowd, to ask if there are any vein maps available…”
“Vein maps?”
Chen Jing was taken aback, then chuckled, “What a coincidence, our Titan Commerce Chamber just so happens to have some dealings with the Chai Family from the Mining Association.
If the young master doesn’t mind, you can come back to Titan Commerce Chamber with me, and I can help you contact the Chai Family!”
The Nantian Dynasty’s industries were all more developed.
The vein industry also had its own association.
The Chai Family also wielded considerable power in the Vein Association.
Zhou Wulong’s face changed slightly, and with a stern voice, he said, “Madam, the goods we are escorting this time are extremely important.
It would be inappropriate to let an unfamiliar person follow the caravan rashly!”
“Hmph, if not for the young master’s intervention, not only the goods but also I would have been taken away by the men of Black Hawk Stronghold.
I have made up my mind, don’t say any more!” Chen Jing reprimanded coldly.
This made Zhou Wulong’s face turn ugly.
He glared at Xiao Yi fiercely.
Zhou Wulong muttered, “Whatever the madam says!”
“Then lead the way up front!”
Chen Jing said coldly, and turned to Xiao Yi with a blush on her face, “If the young master doesn’t mind, please share the carriage with me, Chen Jing!”
“Hahaha, that would be my honor!”
Xiao Yi laughed and sat in the carriage, following the caravan as it set off.
Zhou Wulong at the front of the caravan had an extremely gloomy face, his eyes flashing with savagery and madness.
However, when he saw the people from Black Hawk Stronghold standing on both sides of the road, bowing at ninety degrees, sending them off respectfully, the madness and savagery in his heart dissipated instantly.
Yet, as he glanced at the carriage, his eyes were still filled with resentment and jealousy.
And as they moved on.
The third leader of Black Hawk Stronghold slightly furrowed his brow, his eyes cold, “I didn’t expect to encounter such a tough nut…
You, go back and tell the boss to carry out the second plan…”
“Yes!”
Immediately, one person left the team and headed towards Black Hawk Stronghold.
The third leader narrowed his eyes, his cold laugh unending, “No matter who you are, if you offend Black Hawk Stronghold, you only have a path to death!”
