C483 Tong Family
Hou Family Courtyard!
The lantern outside the room emitted a faint glow. At the moment, a person's shadow slowly walked into the quiet building. At that moment, numerous gazes were cast from the dark corners of the building. Black figures appeared one by one with a hint of sharpness in their eyes.
However, the black figure in the shadows immediately relaxed when he saw the figure that had entered this place. After which, his body once again merged into the darkness as though nothing had happened.
The figure from before entered the pavilion without any obstructions. The figure seemed to be very careful as he entered the building and gently closed the door. There was no light in the room, making it very dark and impossible to see his fingers.
"Grandfather, grandfather!"
The figure called out softly, his gaze sweeping the surroundings as though he was looking for something.
The light seemed to be the only lamp in the room, making it impossible to imprint the entire scene in the room. However, even though the light was dim, one could still see within a few meters of the room, where an old man with a crane hair was sitting on a praying mat. The old man's face was slightly dark, giving off a strict feeling.
This person was the Hou Family Ancestor, Hou Jun, his strength was almost the same as Lu Ann's, they were both at the peak of the Void Saint, and the only reason the Hou Family could develop so quickly was because of the presence of such an expert, and this person was famous for being protective of the Qingzhou, and it was precisely because of Hou Jun's love that Hou Jie dared to be so unscrupulous, and even some of the elders of the clan could only turn a blind eye to this.
"Haha, I knew from far away that you were a boy. Today … is this your Pubic Region?" Seeing the young man in front of him, the old man grinned. However, he suddenly realized something during this period of time and could not help but frown as he asked this.
"I'm crippled, I was crippled by that kid from Lu Family in the competition today. Grandfather, you have to avenge me." At this moment, Hou Jie narrated what happened today with a sad face. He then thought of Mu Yi and a hint of sternness flashed across his eyes. He could not cultivate martial arts in the future and it was all thanks to this kid.
"What?" This person actually dared to be so despotic in Qingzhou City? "What did your father say?" After living for such a long time, he clearly knew that this man called Mu Yi had the backing of a large force, if not, he would not be so despotic, and even the Treasure Business Hall's Lee Tian would be so courteous to him. But even so, this man actually dared to break his own grandson's Pubic Region, this incident ignited a ball of anger in Hou Jun's heart, although he had 4 grandchildren in Hou Family, but the only one he truly liked was Hou Jie.
"Father told me not to provoke him, so this matter is resolved. Grandpa, you must help me get revenge. Grandson will be a cripple in the future. Grandson won't accept this." Hou Jie's face was bitter as he knelt beside Hou Jun and said while holding his sleeves.
"Sigh, I'll talk to your father about this matter. Go and rest first." Looking at Hou Jie, Hou Jun let out a sigh, lightly patted Hou Jie's shoulder and said.
Hou Jie knew his grandfather's character very well after hearing Hou Jun's words. He could not help but feel happy in his heart. He then slowly left the pavilion. As Hou Jie left, the lights in the pavilion were immediately extinguished and they once again sank into endless darkness.
The next morning!
When the first ray of sunlight shone onto the city, it seemed to announce that the day's work had begun, and many stores had started to open one after another. At this moment, it was truly rather lively in front of the Lu Family Palace entrance, and a group of people stood at the entrance, as if sending off someone.
"Brother Mu, are you sure you won't stay for much longer?" At this moment, Lu Antian said he still hoped Mu Yi would stay longer than he had today.
"Hehe, many thanks for Lu Family Master's good intentions. There's no need for that, I still have something to take care of." Mu Yi said with a smile. He couldn't waste too much time here. He had too many responsibilities, so he couldn't live a comfortable life like an ordinary person.
"Since that's the case, I won't stay any longer." Seemingly, he also understood that a talented youth like Mu Yi would not want to go to such a small place like Qingzhou City. He would definitely yearn for a wider world in the outside world.
"Take care, Young Master Mu." Lu Shiyao spoke softly with reluctance in her eyes. After all, she was the one who saved Mu Yi, and she had helped her family greatly. Now that they were leaving, Lu Shiyao felt a strange feeling in her heart.
"Brother Mu, come back to Qingzhou City when you have time. Brother will definitely get drunk with you for a few days, haha." Everyone in Lu Family was filled with respect towards Mu Yi. Regardless of his strength, he had his kind and approachable temperament, making it easy for people to get familiar with him.
"En, alright. Everyone, there's no need to send me off. Goodbye."
Then, he turned around and walked towards the street outside. However, as he turned around, the corner of his mouth slightly moved a few times, as if he was sending a sound transmission to someone.
Watching Mu Yi's disappearing figure on the street, Lu Antian smiled and dismissed the crowd. He quickly headed inside the mansion as if there was something urgent.
Although it was still early in the morning, there were still many people on the streets, and they had already eaten breakfast in the Lu Family. Right now, Mu Yi was going to the place Tong Zha mentioned last night, and Mu Yi was going to Tong Zha's residence. For that strange Stone Disc, Mu Yi felt that it was necessary to discuss it with Tong Zha's uncle whether or not he could sell that Stone Disc to him.
He continuously walked along the streets, and after a short while, he arrived at the northern city of Qingzhou City. This Qingzhou City was divided into four cities, north, east, west, and north. Tong Zha's residence was located in the northern city, and according to Tong Zha, with the help of Mu Yi and some questions from people nearby, he finally found the location of Tong Zha's residence.
At the end of the street, the two dark words of Tong Manor could be clearly seen hanging at the door. The signboard was a bit worn out, and the words on it seemed to have become dull even after being weathered for a long time. The vermillion paint on the door seemed to have shed a layer of film, making it look a bit dark.
When Mu Yi arrived in front of the door, just as he was about to step into the doorstep, he heard the sound of fighting coming from inside, accompanied by several screams and the sound of tables and chairs breaking apart. It seemed like he had met with some trouble in his Tong Family, Mu Yi thought in his heart, and then headed into the house.
At this moment in the inner hall, there were a few men curled up and screaming on the ground. The broken tables and chairs beside them seemed to have been shattered by the Yuan Power, causing the men on the ground to spit out several mouthfuls of blood. They looked at the people who had barged in with furious expressions, as if they hated them to the bones.
The three middle-aged men who came were all middle-aged men and their auras were not weak at all. They were actually at the peak of the Void Stage and the two men who got up were also at the Half-step Void Stage level. The three of them looked at the fifty men and women in the room with unfriendly expressions, especially the man with the red cheeks who was leading, Hu Luo.
"Hou Zhenhua, don't go too far. Although my Tong Family owes you guys money, we all know about this matter, so why are you being so overbearing?" At this moment, a pale-faced middle-aged man slowly spoke with Tong Zha's support. From the looks of it, he was heavily injured. This was Tong Zha's uncle: Tong Ke!
The reason why Tong Family had declined greatly was because of the Hou Family. During the process of Hou Family's rise, one had to absorb the support from the various small families, and because Tong Family refused to belong to one, from the beginning to the end, not only did they become a sacrifice for the rise of Hou Family, they even owed a large number of Essence Stone s. From then on, Tong Family, which was considered a medium family in Qingzhou City, became depressed and lonely.
At this moment, Hou Family did not intend to let go of Tong Family, and wanted the people of the Tong Family to hand over this ancient house. As the people of Tong Family had been here for who knows how many years, even the ancient house would not be able to handle this, and then how could it be unworthy of the ancestors. Because of this, Tong Ke had also fought against Hou Zhenhua, but only Tong Ke, who was at the middle stage of Void Stage, was no match for Hou Zhenhua, who was at the peak of Void Stage.
"Hmph, if you can't hand over this place today, don't blame me for being heartless." Towards Tong Ke's words, Hou Zhenhua said with a cold snort, these Tong Family people are all cheap bones, they will not compromise without teaching them a lesson, as the Hou Family Manager, then how can they manage such a small matter?
"Gratitude?" Do your Hou Family also know how to speak truthfully? "Bah!" Tong Cha, who had been supporting Tong Ke, roared in anger. He had grown up here and had deep feelings for Hou Zhenhua, so when he heard Hou Zhenhua's words, Tong Cha couldn't help but feel angry. However, when he said those words, Tong Cha also found that he was impulsive.
"Haha, since that's the case, then I'll sell all the women in your Tong Family to a brothel today before taking care of all of you." Finally, his gaze landed on a girl around sixteen to seventeen years old. The girl could be considered pretty, but when she saw Hou Zhenhua's gaze, her delicate face couldn't help but change and she quickly hid behind Tong Cha.
Tong Cha patted his little sister's hand, indicating that she should not be afraid. If anything happens, brother will support her. Although the girl's face slowly recovered, the fear in her eyes still did not dissipate.
"Hou Zhenhua, you dare?" Tong Ke was angered by Lu Zhenhua's words. It seemed as if he was too emotional, which caused his injuries. His face flushed red, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. His breath was weak.
"Uncle!" He checked his uncle's injuries with a look of worry on his face. Although Tong Ke wasn't his real father, Tong Cha had always treated his uncle like his own father. Now that he saw his uncle's injuries, he wanted to rush over, but Tong Ke was the one who stopped him.
"Haha, it's not up to you to decide. Make a move and capture all the women. Those who block you will be killed without mercy!" With a murderous look in his eyes, Hou Zhenhua laughed out loud while waving his hand to attack.
"Ha ha, since your methods are so clumsy, you seem to lack the demeanor of a large clan."
Just as Hou Zhenhua was about to make his move, a teasing voice was transmitted into the hall. Soon after, a young man wearing a light blue robe slowly walked in from outside. At this moment, the corner of his mouth contained a smile.
