Without You, It's Very Important to Me

Upon receiving Ye Liuyun's praise, Si Nan smiled happily.

However, this scene made Shi Sheng, who was standing nearby, hesitate to speak. Thinking about it, given Shi Sheng's character, it was indeed difficult for him to accept using a child as a threat.

Noticing the change in Shi Sheng's expression, Si Nan suddenly smiled easily, raising his hand to rest it on Shi Sheng's shoulder and said, "If I told you some of the things this child has done, I imagine you wouldn't be so conflicted!"

"What?"

These words made Shi Sheng look over curiously.

Si Nan first pointed at the young man tied to the tree, then turned to Shi Sheng and said, "Although I'm not a good person, I wouldn't just arrest someone randomly. According to the information I've gathered, it was this fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy who, not long ago, ordered his servants to kill a family of seven from the East City Bun Shop."

"He once killed someone in the street because he was accidentally bumped into."

"And because he took a fancy to a girl, he had her father's legs cut off so he couldn't work, forcing her to submit to him."

One incident after another, let alone Shi Sheng, even Ye Liuyun couldn't help but look over as he listened.

This was no longer a young boy; he was practically a malevolent spirit from the underworld.

Relying on his father being a Brocade Guard Centurion, he acted recklessly and without restraint.

After speaking for a while, Si Nan stopped, not because he had finished, but because his throat was a little dry.

"What, do you think I'm lying to you?"

Seeing Shi Sheng's somewhat incredulous look, Si Nan walked straight over and removed the gag from the young man's mouth.

The other party immediately began to curse loudly.

"You damn things, how dare you tie me up! When my father comes, he'll kill all of you, kill your whole family!"

He shouted very loudly, almost to the point of his voice breaking.

Shi Sheng ignored everything else and asked with a grim face, "I ask you, are the things I just said true?"

The young man was startled at first, then said with a look of course, "So what? My father said I can do whatever I want. They're just commoners. I'll kill them if I want to. I..."

Before he could finish, Si Nan gagged him again.

He shrugged at Shi Sheng, as if to say, See, I didn't just falsely accuse someone.

In such an era, it was truly difficult for ordinary people to even survive.

"Damn it! Let me hack this little bastard to death!"

Shi Sheng could hold back no longer.

He had felt a bit of reluctance before, but now he realized that beheading this little bastard was actually ridding the people of a menace.

He drew the saber from his waist, just about to make his move.

But the next moment.

"Do not harm my son!"

It was Lu Quan's voice.

The instant he heard this voice, the gagged young man also became agitated, whimpering and shouting something unintelligible.

"Ye Liufeng! It's actually you!"

After seeing who the person making the move was, Lu Quan's eyes widened involuntarily.

Clearly, he hadn't expected that the person who had captured his son and left the letter telling him to come out of the city alone would actually be Ye Liuyun.

"Ye Liufeng, you dare to harm my son, Chieftain Wan will not..."

Just as he was about to continue using Chieftain Wan's name to threaten Ye Liuyun, the next moment.

"Jade Shattering Hand!"

Ye Liuyun struck out directly with a palm.

"Good timing!"

Seeing that Ye Liuyun was going to attack directly without a word, Lu Quan was not surprised but rather pleased.

In Lu Quan's understanding, Ye Liuyun, who was only a Third-Rate Martial Artist before, even if his realm had broken through significantly recently, might not necessarily be his opponent in a real fight.

He similarly channeled his internal energy into a palm strike and directly blasted it forward.

Their palms met.

In Lu Quan's view, Ye Liuyun would surely find it difficult to withstand this full-force strike of his, and his face was filled with pleasant surprise.

But it wasn't until he felt that invincible power that Lu Quan's face, which had been wearing a look of joy, instantly froze.

There wasn't even a stalemate in the clash.

Lu Quan was sent flying back exactly the way he had flown over using his movement technique.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

His body continuously broke through several trees before finally stopping.

"Pfft!"

He spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

If not for the protection of his internal energy, that palm strike would have likely taken Lu Quan's life directly.

"How is this possible? How could your strength be so powerful!"

Leaning against a large tree, Lu Quan stood up again, his gaze towards Ye Liuyun filled with intense disbelief.

He simply couldn't believe that Ye Liuyun's strength was so much higher than his own.

"..."

Ye Liuyun didn't answer. Instead, with one hand behind his back and the other on the hilt of the saber hanging at his waist, he walked towards Lu Quan.

That look, as if he were looking at a dead man.

It made Lu Quan realize that the Ye Liuyun in front of him truly intended to kill him.

"Wait! Wait!"

Lu Quan didn't want to die. He still had a great life ahead of him, a great future, and so much money he hadn't spent yet.

How could he just die like this?

"Misunderstanding, there must be some misunderstanding between us. Let me go, and from now on, I will follow your lead. Whatever you tell me to do, I will do."

To survive, Lu Quan was truly willing to do anything.

If he had known it would be like this, even for his most beloved youngest son, Lu Quan wouldn't have come to rescue him.

Even if he did rescue him, he wouldn't have come alone.

In the end, he was just too confident.

"Whether you serve me or not is actually not important!"

As he spoke, Ye Liuyun had already walked in front of Lu Quan.

"But without you, it is very important to me!"

"Chieftain Wan! Chieftain Wan will not let you off!"

Seeing that begging was useless, Lu Quan tried to use Chieftain Wan's name to threaten Ye Liuyun, hoping to make Ye Liuyun hesitate.

But the only answer Lu Quan received was a scorching saber light!

Swish!

Even the tree behind him was directly cut down.

Even at the moment of death, Lu Quan still looked incredulous. He truly couldn't imagine why the threats that had always worked in the past were useless against Ye Liuyun.

Are you really not worried about the Lord Eunuch behind Chieftain Wan?

Unfortunately, Lu Quan's questions were destined to remain unanswered.

Sheathing his saber, Ye Liuyun took back his gaze. Although Lu Quan was a waste, some of the traits on him were quite good. He might as well make use of them. After taking those traits, Ye Liuyun looked away.

He noticed that the younger son of Lu Quan, who was not far away, suddenly went from a venomous and frantic expression to a dazed one.

He probably didn't expect his father to die.

"Deal with him!"

Ye Liuyun didn't plan to let the young man go. The events at the Golden Saber Sect that day were still vivid in his mind.

If you don't root out the weeds, they will grow back with the spring breeze.

Moreover, killing someone with such a long list of misdeeds was simply accumulating good karma for himself.

"I'll do it!"

Shi Sheng, who had initially been very resistant to such things, immediately stepped forward before Si Nan after hearing Ye Liuyun's words.
