Settlement
Inside the Yue Family, Yue Qianchou descended from the sky carrying two people, his longsword sheathed. Everyone was shocked to see Yue Wuchou's appearance; no one expected the young master of the Yue Family, who was usually pampered and lived a life of luxury, to be in such a state, especially with the two slap marks on his face. The Clan Leader and his son, standing in the crowd, turned ashen-faced upon seeing the people Yue Qianchou had brought.
Yue Changgui waved the servants away, then hurried over to his youngest son, who looked dazed, and asked anxiously, "Wuchou, what's wrong?"
"Father, he's fine, he was just a little frightened," Yue Qianchou said calmly.
At this moment, Yue Wuchou was probably awakened by the familiar face of his father. When he came to his senses, he saw Yue Qianchou beside him as if he had seen a ghost. He quickly darted behind Yue Changgui, grabbed his arm, pointed at Yue Qianchou and cried out, "Father, he killed people! He really killed people! He killed so many people! So many people died!"
Everyone looked at Yue Qianchou, but they were clearly not surprised that he had committed murder. Yue Changgui looked at his eldest son and asked in confusion, "What happened?"
"It's nothing, just a few hundred small fry from Bajiao Village. We took care of them easily. There won't be any more Bajiao Village bandits in this area from now on," Yue Qianchou said calmly.
He spoke casually, but everyone was chilled to the bone. Hundreds of people had been killed by him in less than two hours? The more they thought about it, the colder their bodies became. When did the Yue Lineage produce such a killing star?
"You killed them all?" Yue Changgui frowned. He was clearly displeased with his son's indiscriminate killing.
"They didn't kill them all; they left one alive." Yue Qianchou shook his head, then pointed to the man slumped on the ground and sneered, "This is Liu Li, the leader of Bajiao Village. He has a close relationship with our Clan Leader and his son! I've already questioned him, and he's confessed everything. This kidnapping of my brother was all the work of our Yue Lineage's hypocritical Clan Leader and his son. Their goal was our family's money. They planned to kill him after getting the gold, then find a way to get rid of my father, leaving our family without an heir, and then find a pretext to seize our family's property. The two slap marks on my brother's face were from Yue Changping's own hand after he tricked him out of the city. They just never expected me to come back at this time."
The Yue Family members were immediately in an uproar, and instantly moved away from the father and son, hoping not to be accidentally injured by that murderous star. Yue Qianchou sneered inwardly. Judging from the expressions on the faces of the father and son, he knew that this was definitely not something that idiot son could have done alone. He didn't have time to waste with them. He would just make up a charge to solidify the case. Anyway, it was nothing. If it weren't for the old man's face, he would have killed them long ago.
Yue Changgui ashen. He turned around abruptly and glared at the father and son, shouting, "You insatiable beasts, what else do you two dogs have to say?"
When the Clan Leader and his son saw Yue Qianchou bring Liu Li and Yue Wuchou, they knew it was all over. They had wanted to make excuses, but when they saw Yue Qianchou's gloomy eyes, they were speechless. Faced with such a powerful opponent, any explanation was futile.
Suddenly, Yue Changping rushed out of the crowd, knelt down in front of Yue Changgui, and kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "Brother, I was bewitched for a moment. Brother, please forgive me this time for the sake of our clan!" He slapped his own face as he spoke.
Yue Changgui kicked him away and shouted angrily, "You beast, I don't have a brother like you! Men, tie these two, father and son up, and take them to the authorities for investigation along with this bandit." Several strong men immediately took ropes and tied the three of them up tightly, then pushed them out.
The Yue clan members shook their heads and sighed, none of them expecting that this seemingly respectable father and son would harbor such wolfish ambitions. After all, how many people wouldn't covet this family's wealth?
"Wait!" Yue Changgui suddenly sighed and said, "Forget it, family scandals should not be aired in public. Let's send it to the ancestral hall and deal with it according to the clan rules!" He then cupped his hands to the clan members and said, "I hope that you clan members will be witnesses when the family law is carried out."
"Yes! Family scandals shouldn't be aired in public!" "That's for sure." "Don't worry, brother, everyone saw it with their own eyes. This certificate is definitely necessary."
Everyone readily agreed. Yue Changgui was the biggest benefactor of the entire Lineage. If they didn't do him a favor now that his guilt was confirmed, when would they? Anyway, they wouldn't lose anything.
Just then, Yue Qianchou suddenly stepped forward with a smile and bowed to everyone, saying, "I also have something to ask of you uncles and brothers. I came back this time entirely because of my father's summons. Now that this matter is over, I still need to go out to cultivate. As for this matter, I hope you uncles and brothers will keep it a secret for me. Just pretend that I never appeared in this matter. Thank you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone immediately agreed with "uh-huhs," but the previous atmosphere was gone. Although they were all relatives, the key issue was that this guy was too ruthless. He killed people like cutting vegetables, without even blinking an eye. Who knew what the consequences would be if they said the wrong thing? But they all thought of something from his words: Yue Changgui had such a powerful son hiding behind him, someone he could summon at any time, yet he had never revealed anything. How insidious! Fortunately, they hadn't offended him too much, otherwise, if anything happened, summoning him would mean a massacre! Who could withstand that? Everyone shuddered at the thought.
Yue Qianchou smiled and thanked him. This was exactly the effect he wanted. He had come back once in a while, and he had no choice but to take such drastic measures. Now that he had run into them, he had to deal with them thoroughly. He wouldn't be thinking about this again in the future!
A group of relatives and servants escorted the three men out of the Yue Mansion. The surroundings became much quieter. Yue Wuchou hid behind his father, Yue Wuchou out to secretly observe his older brother. This brother was really a bit too frightening.
Yue Qianchou smiled slightly at him. He had originally thought that he was frightened and would have to do something to help him adjust so that he would not be traumatized. But now it seemed that this kid was naturally brave and there was no need to worry.
"Is what you just said true?" Yue Changgui asked, frowning as he looked at him.
Yue Qianchou was taken aback and asked in astonishment, "What do you mean, is it true?"
"If you said you were going to go out to cultivate again, didn't you return this time having mastered your skills?" Yue Changgui asked. Yue Wuchou, standing behind him, suddenly shook him and asked, "Father, is he really my brother Yue Qianchou?"
Yue Changgui lowered his head and shouted, "You bastard, who else could it be but your brother?" Yue Wuchou pointed at Yue Qianchou and said sheepishly, "But he killed a lot of people, Father, he really killed a lot of people, hundreds of people were all killed by him."
"Ignorant!" Yue Changgui shouted, "If your elder brother hadn't been trying to save you, would he have gone on such a killing spree?" He felt disgusted when he thought of how Bajiao Village had kidnapped both of his sons. He thought to himself that it was good that they killed them; if he hadn't, his grandson might have been kidnapped again sometime.
Yue Qianchou smiled, then suddenly reached out to Fu Qing, who was standing not far away. The sword Fu Qing was holding was instantly in his hand, startling the latter. Yue Qianchou handed the sword to his younger brother and said with a smile, "Here you go!"
