Confrontation at the Village Entrance, Wei Yunshang Says She Has Come to Make Amends

Green Mountain Village!

A group of people escorted a carriage slowly toward the village, only to be stopped at the entrance by Lin Hu and his men, who refused to let them pass.

The visitor was Wei Family's Eldest Miss Wei Yunshang.

After obtaining that Five-Hundred-Year-Old Mountain Ginseng, she had brought Hundred Herbs Hall's manager He Baishan and a squad of guards all the way from Fengle County Town to Green Mountain Village.

This showed just how swift and decisive the Wei Family's Eldest Miss was.

"Everyone, I am He Baishan, manager of Hundred Herbs Hall. Seated in the carriage is the Wei Family's Eldest Miss. We have come specifically to visit Young Master Lin, Lin Changqing, of Green Mountain Village. Please grant us this convenience..."

He Baishan smiled and cupped his hands toward Lin Hu and the others blocking the road.

"Hundred Herbs Hall, the Wei Family..."

The moment the others heard those two names, their expressions tightened, and they instinctively prepared to step aside.

The Wei Family was one of Fengle County Town's Three Great Families, its status no lower than the Chen Family's.

Now that the Wei Family's Eldest Miss had come in person, how could they dare stop her?

Lin Hu, however, narrowed his eyes, anger and murderous intent rising within them. He stared straight at He Baishan and said coldly, "You old bastard, you came because of Tianhe Town, didn't you!

"Hmph... you beat the little ones, and the old ones come running.

"Sure enough, Changqing wasn't wrong at all..."

As he spoke, Lin Hu had already drawn the long saber from his back, the murderous aura around him growing even heavier.

After the battle at Tianhe Town, when Lin Changqing had slaughtered Liu Laoqi and the rest with saber in hand, Lin Hu had personally led Lin Yongteng and the others in burning the corpses.

Afterward, Lin Changqing had simply gone all the way, hauling all the medicinal ingredients from Liu Laoqi's courtyard back to Green Mountain Village.

Lin Hu knew that behind Liu Laoqi stood several medicinal shops in Fengle County Town, including Hundred Herbs Hall.

Without exception, all of those shops were under the Wei Family's control.

Now that the Wei Family's Eldest Miss had come in person, Lin Hu saw it as nothing less than coming to their door to demand an explanation.

Naturally, he had no pleasant expression for them.

Clang...

The moment Lin Hu drew his saber, Wei Yunshang's guards on the opposite side were immediately provoked. One after another, they drew their blades.

The atmosphere instantly grew tense.

The other young and strong men of Green Mountain Village had initially been dumbfounded, but at this sight, their expressions hardened and they immediately drew their sabers as well.

During this period, they had not only been practicing the Five Elements Technique.

They had also begun practicing the Five Elements Severing Steel Saber Technique created by Lin Changqing. That was why every one of them carried a saber.

With sharp weapons in their hearts, the urge to kill arose of itself.

With weapons in hand and days of martial cultivation behind them, the strength of Green Mountain Village's people had increased greatly, and every one of them was naturally full of confidence.

Their earlier fear of the Wei Family's Eldest Miss had merely been instinctive.

Now that they had come to their senses, they all drew their sabers at once, murderous intent on their faces as they took their places behind Lin Hu.

He Baishan's expression tightened, his face turning rather ugly. He had not expected this bunch of country bumpkins from Green Mountain Village to be so bold.

They actually dared draw their blades on them.

His heart beat uneasily. If Wei Yunshang had not still been seated in the carriage, he would have retreated by now without question.

A gentleman did not stand beneath a crumbling wall. Though he was the manager of Hundred Herbs Hall and held no low status, he himself was not versed in martial arts.

He had learned a little when he was younger, but unfortunately had never amounted to much. Facing Lin Hu and the others, brimming with murderous aura, he would be lying if he claimed not to be afraid.

Still, he gritted his teeth and forced himself to say, "Everyone, we mean no harm..."

"Hmph, I don't care whether you mean harm or not. Green Mountain Village does not welcome you. Get out of here right now..." Lin Hu roared.

His voice was like the roar of a fierce tiger.

It frightened He Baishan so badly that his face went pale. He staggered back several steps, cold sweat pouring from his body.

"Useless trash!"

Just then, a Middle-aged Man dressed as a guard stepped forward and casually kicked He Baishan aside.

Then he gave a cold laugh, staring at Lin Hu and the others. "Your Qi and Blood is surging. Not bad. It seems you will be Entering the Ranks of Martial Dao before long.

"But, boy... among our group alone, there are no fewer than ten Martial Artists who have Entered the Ranks.

"Do you think you can withstand us with just the lot of you?"

"Whether we can withstand you or not, won't we know once we try?"

Lin Hu's face darkened, his mind grave.

Though he could not see through the Middle-aged Man's strength, one thing was certain: this man had definitely already Entered the Ranks of Martial Dao.

That oppressive aura made his heart tremble.

If they really came to blows, he feared he would not last three moves against the other party.

But!

As the saying went, one could lose the battle but not the bearing. Even knowing he was no match, he could not yield in presence. After all, he no longer represented himself alone, but the entire Green Mountain Village.

"Valiant sir, what fierce spirit you have. However... you truly misunderstand. We have come today with no ill intent, but to visit Young Master Lin Changqing. You may report this first before making a decision..."

At that moment, Wei Yunshang's voice Came Out from within the carriage.

Lin Hu did not reply.

In truth!

He had already sent someone to notify Lin Changqing in secret.

He glanced at the carriage opposite him, gritted his teeth, and said, "I've already sent someone to notify Changqing. Wait here!"

Lin Hu was no fool. Though he appeared rough and brawny, his mind was actually meticulous.

He knew very well that the people opposite them were powerful. If they truly fought, they would not gain the slightest advantage.

They were not afraid of death, but pointless sacrifice was no good thing either.

They could only find a way to stall for time and wait for Lin Changqing to arrive before saying anything else.

Lin Changqing arrived even faster than anyone had expected.

Less than a minute after Lin Hu spoke, Lin Changqing came rushing over with a young man in tow.

Everyone froze, greatly surprised.

"Gouzi, you're this fast?" Someone looked doubtfully at the youth following behind Lin Changqing.

This was the person Lin Hu had arranged to deliver the message to Lin Changqing.

"I... no, I hadn't gone far when I ran into Brother Changqing. He was already heading toward the village entrance," Gouzi hurriedly explained.

Lin Changqing smiled but said nothing.

Instead, he looked toward the carriage at the village entrance.

The reason he had hurried over was naturally because his Spiritual Perception had sensed that someone had come looking for him and had clashed with Lin Hu and the others.

So he immediately rushed toward the village entrance, only to run into Gouzi coming to report the matter halfway there.

"Changqing, they say it's the Wei Family's eldest miss, and she brought the Hundred Herbs Hall's shopkeeper with her."

The moment Lin Hu saw Lin Changqing arrive, he was overjoyed. He quickly moved to Lin Changqing's side and whispered, "They're probably here over what happened in Tianhe Town.

Be careful!"

"Don't worry. It's nothing..."

Lin Changqing nodded, his expression calm.

Whether or not this Young Miss Wei had come because of Tianhe Town, he was not the least bit afraid. His strength was right there for all to see.

With just the people Young Miss Wei had brought, they could not do anything to him.

"I am Lin Changqing. Young Miss Wei, I heard you wished to see me. Now that I am here, what... are you unwilling to step down and show your face?"

Lin Changqing gave a light laugh, narrowing his eyes as he looked at the carriage.

"Young Master Lin, do you intend to entertain your guest here at the village entrance?" Wei Yunshang's voice Came Out from within the carriage.

She was subtly mocking Lin Changqing for his lack of hospitality.

"Hehe!"

Lin Changqing gave a light laugh, unconcerned. "Naturally, Mr. Lin would not entertain guests at the village entrance. It's just that... whether Young Miss Wei is a guest or an enemy, Mr. Lin cannot tell!

Young Miss Wei, Mr. Lin is a straightforward man and does not like too much beating around the bush.

Why have you come to my Green Mountain Village today? You may as well say it plainly!"

Inside the carriage.

Upon hearing this, Wei Yunshang could not help but curse Lin Changqing inwardly for being shameless. He was clearly as cunning as an old fox, yet he claimed to be a straightforward man.

Truly shameless.

However, she was no ordinary woman. Though inwardly angered, her expression and tone did not change in the slightest as she said gravely, "My subordinates were thoughtless and offended Young Master Lin in Tianhe Town a few days ago.

Today, Yunshang has specially brought a great gift to offer an apology..."
