Chapter 8, Incident (1)

"What? Is it not possible?" Sang Ji said with a cold laugh

Upon hearing this, Sang Ji immediately darkened his expression and said: "What the head of the Chu family has said is utterly unreasonable. After the marriage between Young Master Yanqi and our young lady, he will naturally become the heir of our family. It is only right for me to pay my respects to him; how could he come to pay respects to me? I am merely a servant of the Sang family. There is no need for the head of the Chu family to say more; please lead the way"

He is just like this, so it is best not to pay attention to him. Therefore, Chu Yunjie only performed a single bow and did not make any deliberate effort to be warm.

Oh, I felt a slight chill not long ago, but I have already recovered. " Chu Zhengming hurriedly said, having kept the news of Chu Yanqi's suicide a secret; he did not expect that the Sang family had still caught wind of it.

Sang Ji saw the rugged young man and suddenly felt a stir in his heart. The Sang family had naturally investigated Chu Yanqi's background, and in that instant, he realized who this young man was

In a fit of rage, he struck Ha Qiang dead with a single blow, raising his hand and delivering the strike directly.

"Chu Yunhao, I will bite you to death today!" A rough voice roared out, as if it were a trapped beast. Suddenly, a scream akin to that of a slaughtered pig came from Chu Yunhao.

Sang Ji, knowing the reasoning behind it, immediately sneered and said: "You mhetushu.com.com wouldn't let Young Master Yanqi stay in a place where such lowly people reside, would you? Oh, no, even our servants wouldn't live in such a dilapidated place; this is meant for slaves—Chu Zhengming, what do you take our young lady and the future heir for?"

"What is it, does the head of the Chu family have objections?" Sang Ji said with a cold smile, "Do you think our Cangwu City is just any place? The marriage of the young lady cannot be taken lightly. Currently, everything is unprepared; if we hastily accept Young Master Yanqi, wouldn't that be a joke? This is the first point. Second, the new garden where Young Master Yanqi will reside has not yet been completed. Speaking of this, I have another question."

A rugged youth, bare-chested and covered in scars, pinned down a disciple in fine robes and actually bit off one of his ears. The disciple screamed in agony, but he remained completely indifferent to it.

Chu Zhengming furrowed his brows slightly, but still busied himself with a smile, saying: "Alright, alright, it is indeed his fortune that the immortal master holds him in such high regard." As he spoke, he could only take Chu Yunjie along and head towards Chu Yanqi's room.

Indeed! Chu Zhengming hurriedly replied. After Chu Yanqi committed suicide, he feared that prolonged nights would lead to more dreams. He quickly sent him to Cangwu City to exchange for the elixir he desired, believing that this was the right path. After that, his life and death would have nothing to do with him.

"This is rather hasty," Sang Ji said lightly, with his hands clasped behind his back. "I plan to stay in Kunlan Town for a while. I have heard that at the end of the year, many exploration teams and treasure hunters will come down from the mountains to sell their goods in Kunlan Town. I need to gather quite a few items this time and intend to bring them all back together. The master intends for me to take Young Master Yanqi along, so that there will be someone to look after him on the journey."

In that case, I will go see him," Sangji stood up and said

I ... ... I ... ... '' How could Chu Zhengming possibly say anything.

On the road, Sang Ji slowly said, "I have read the letter from the head of the Chu family, wishing to send Young Master Yanqi to Cangwu City the day after tomorrow"

"Stop—stop—" Chu Zhengming followed in and, upon seeing the scene, was infuriated. The entire room was drenched in blood, and Hao Qiang was like a madman, grabbing and biting at Chu Yunhao.

How can this be?" Chu Zhengming, busy, also stood up and said with a face full of apologies, "I had Yun Jie go over to bring him here—it's also my oversight. Since you are here, he should indeed come to pay his respects to you.

What? Chu Zhengming was somewhat confused. This idiot, this infatuated ugly young lady, wants to find a handsome husband. That would be fine, but hastily getting married is the right thing to do. Is it possible that Cangwu City is preparing for a grand ceremony, inviting all the prominent families to witness? A husband who cannot cultivate, a useless son-in-law, and an ugly, overweight infatuated young lady—can Cangwu City afford to lose face like this? And what is the need to build a new garden? A husband who cannot cultivate, a useless son-in-law, and an ugly, overweight infatuated young lady—can Cangwu City afford to lose face like this? And what is the need to build a new garden?

He immediately raised his hand to meet Chu Zhengming, and the two exchanged a palm strike. A loud bang resonated through the air, and then, like a kite with a broken string, Chu Zhengming flew straight out. The entire room could not withstand the force of this palm strike and instantly collapsed.

The father of Master Yanqi, Chu Hua? Is that the name? I suppose he is quite familiar with Master Yanqi's preferences?" Ji Sang said lightly, "Our master means to have him come over now to help oversee the arrangement of the new house, the landscaping, and so on, to prevent the new garden from not meeting the young master's expectations, lest he cause trouble later by requesting renovations.

"Is it going to be by the end of the year?" Chu Zhengming immediately felt a sense of worry

Seeing this, Chu Zhengming felt a great sense of urgency. Today, Chu Yunjie was by his side, while Chu Yunhao was guarding Chu Yanqi with several disciples from the family. They wouldn't beat him again, would they

Hao Qiangda shouted loudly, "Little Master!" In the midst of speaking, he rushed towards the side room at a speed that exceeded his own cultivation level

Chu Yunjie sensed that the situation was dire and hurriedly rushed inside. Sang Ji, feeling extremely anxious, swayed his body and managed to get in front of Chu Yunjie, entering the room. Suddenly, a bloodied figure came flying towards them.

This ... ... caused Chu Zhengming's expression to change slightly, leaving him at a loss for words.

Of course not, " Chu Zhengming said while shaking his head, " I will arrange for Chu Hua to set off tomorrow.

He thought it was Chu Yanqi, hurriedly reaching out to embrace, but upon closer inspection, it was just an ordinary person, their body limp, with every rib in their chest broken, likely unable to survive

At this moment, Sang Ji could not care less about saving anyone; he immediately threw him to the ground. Upon looking around, he saw three disciples, around seventeen or eighteen years old, lying on the floor. Each of them was bleeding from their heads, groaning on the ground and on the books, and it seemed that they were all seriously injured

Zhengming Chu was taken aback. Could it be that the City of Cangwu had indeed caught wind of something, and was also, like himself, intending to use Chu Hua to threaten Chu Yanqi?

Chu Yunjie was busy bowing again and said with a smile, "Senior Brother Sang." As he spoke, he was about to go to greet another senior brother. This time, Sang Ji brought two disciples with him. The first one, a little fellow, appeared quite innocent, seemingly unaware of the world. However, the other one, as introduced by the little fellow, had the surname Leng, with the single character Bing for his given name. He had a full beard and wore a cold expression, as if everyone owed him several hundred taels of gold that had yet to be repaid.

Just at that moment, a loud bang echoed from inside the room, and suddenly, the wooden window on the east side flew out. Following that, the sound of a fierce struggle could be heard from within.

Oh? Master Chu, I have heard that Young Master Yanqi has not been feeling well recently?" Sang Ji put down the teacup and asked deliberately in a slow manner.

"This is very good, I will send someone to pick you up tomorrow," Sang Ji said, speaking while looking around. As he noticed they were walking further into a more remote area, they finally arrived at a low, dilapidated three-room house. He couldn't help but frown and asked, "Master Chu, why have you brought me here?"
