The room was filled with the aroma of medicine.
Yang Wanfeng, pale-faced, slowly sat up on the bed:
"Grandfather."
"Just lie down." A look of heartache appeared on the old face of the Yang Family Head, which was covered with deep wrinkles.
He didn't care what happened to the mediocre clansmen outside, but he was truly moved by his exceptionally talented grandson.
The old man knew his time was running out; he could live for at most twenty more years, Yang Wanfeng, who would grow up by then, would be the best successor.
With his youthful talent, he can absolutely lead the Yang Family of Shanzhou to new heights.
It's not impossible that even one more member could be added to the three sects and six factions of Huaxia!
"Don't worry, Grandpa Ye Li has already made arrangements. Your mother will personally lead two fourth-tier retainers to ambush and kill him. He won't live for more than a few days."
The elegant old man patted the young man beside the bed, his tone much gentler than before:
"As for your injuries, Grandpa will arrange for the best fourth-level physician in the Ying Province to treat you."
"With the help of the Yang family's secret techniques, you might be fully cured in three years."
"The Retainer's Heart Blood will be retrieved soon. Then, Grandpa will use a secret technique to make sure you can at least get out of bed and walk."
Yang Wanfeng nodded slightly.
Upon hearing Ye Li's name, a venomous glint instinctively appeared in his eyes. He took a deep breath before speaking:
"Thank you, Grandpa."
"No need to thank me, we're all family." The Family Head waved his hand.
Whether for the sake of the Yang family's century-old reputation or for the Yang family's future development, Ye Li must die.
The elegant old man pondered for a moment, then said with some confusion:
"By the way, about your sister Yang Wan, I don't know what happened to her, she locked herself in her room and refuses to come out or see you..."
"Wan'er, she..." Yang Wanfeng's expression was slightly embarrassed, "She was probably shocked by Ye Li's methods. You don't need to worry about it, I'll go check on her in a couple of days."
"Yes, you two have always had a good relationship."
The Family Head nodded, indicating that he didn't really care about the matter.
Call!--
Just then, a faint whooshing sound came from the horizon outside the house.
Immediately afterwards, a powerful aura suddenly descended upon the Yang family mansion!
I sensed that aura.
The Family Head suddenly stood up, looked out the window, and murmured solemnly:
"Fifth Tier martial artist? His aura is stronger than mine. What are you doing here at my Yang family...?"
"Grandfather?"
"Don't move around here, I'm going out to take a look." The Family Head stood up and walked out of the house.
As soon as they stepped outside, they saw a figure surrounded by a gentle breeze sweeping down from the sky in the distance and landing directly inside the Yang family compound.
The newcomer's sleeves fluttered, embroidered with several dynamic flowing clouds.
People from Fengyun University?
Standing in front of the house, the Family Head frowned slightly and asked in a loud voice:
"What brings the faculty and staff of Fengyun University to my Yang family's residence?"
"We shouldn't be the ones whose clansmen didn't get into Fengyun University."
Because the other party was from Fengyun University, his tone was quite polite.
Upon hearing this, Yu Weng stepped forward and said with a smile:
"I am Mr. Yu Weng, Ye Li's Instructor and a senior teacher at Fengyun University."
Ye Li's Instructor?
They arrived so quickly. Does Fengyun University really value this much...?
The Family Head felt a slight unease, and after a moment, he asked the question knowingly:
"I see, but you haven't answered my question yet. May I ask what brings you to my Yang family?"
He knew the answer to this question perfectly well in his heart.
For Ye Li's safety.
Even if they know, they still have to put on a show.
Otherwise, once the news of Ye Li's death spreads, it will be difficult for him, as the Family Head, to sever ties completely with those retainers.
The director of the Qingyi Bureau in Shanzhou City is Fifth Tier expert. Although he will give the Yang family some face, he is definitely not afraid to touch the Yang family.
"You bastard, still pretending to be innocent..." Yu Weng cursed inwardly, looking at the old man's puzzled expression.
A smile appeared on his aged face:
"I heard some rumors, so I came to check it out."
As he spoke, his gaze swept across the Yang family compound, and he asked casually, "I've long heard that the Yang Family of Shanzhou is recruiting many retainers. I wonder how many Fourth-Tier Martial Artist they've recruited so far?"
"Fourth-Tier Martial Artist aren't so easy to recruit."
The Family Head also smiled and shook his head, "Over the years, even with the generous offers from the Yang family, we haven't managed to recruit many."
"Hearing your words is truly like hearing a lecture."
The white-haired Yu Weng, spoke in a praising tone, with a half-smile.
"I'm truly sorry, but as a professor at Fengyun University, you are naturally a distinguished guest of the Yang family."
The Family Head calmly stared at Yu Weng and said slowly:
"However, this matter involves the Yang family's privacy, so please forgive me for not being able to tell you the truth."
"I don't think Fengyun University would pry into other people's privacy, would they?"
As a teacher at Fengyun University, it's almost impossible for the other party to directly attack the Yang family on the surface.
"Of course."
Upon hearing this, Yu Weng nodded slightly and said with a smile, "In fact, in order to build a good relationship with the students, I have always been a very principled old man."
It's a full four hundred li from Fengyun University to this place.
He arrived at his fastest speed.
Those Fourth-Tier Martial Artist from the Yang family probably don't have much free time on weekdays, so even if this bastard moves quickly, he probably can't mobilize them immediately...
They must have made it in time.
Thinking of this, Yu Weng revealed an expression as if he had suddenly remembered something, and chuckled softly:
"Speaking of which, my [Whispering Wind Art] has reached its perfect state."
"The Whispering Wind Art?"
"Good."
Yu Weng nodded slightly and patiently explained:
"This is one of my Fifth Tier martial arts techniques. I dare not say more, but any movement within a ten-mile radius of the Yang family compound can definitely be heard clearly."
"What do you mean by that?" The Family Head frowned.
"It means..."
Yu Weng walked up to the other person, his smiling voice suddenly turning icy cold:
"If any of these eight Fourth-Tier Martial Artists from the Yang family within a ten-mile radius disappears within the next five days, don't blame me for turning my back on them."
"..."
Upon hearing this, the Yang Family Head's expression changed slightly, but he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The Yang family actually has ten Fourth-Tier Martial Artists, but the other party is saying there are eight... This means that Yang Mei has already set off with those two fourth-tier retainers.
Good girl, you're quick!
Thinking of this, the Family Head suppressed his joy and pretended to speak with difficulty:
"Sir, isn't your behavior a bit too domineering? Aren't you afraid I'll report you to Fengyun University?"
"Go ahead and sue," Yu Weng said with a smile as he walked into the inner room, waving his hand as he spoke.
"I'd like to stay here for three to five days. I hope that won't be a bother?"
"This..."
"There's one more thing."
Yu Weng turned around, looked at the Family Head, and said with a smile:
"Before my disciple reaches the Fifth Tier, no matter what accident happens to him, no matter who did it."
"I, too, will come here first and kill you, the Family Head!"
Upon hearing this, the Yang Family Head's face immediately turned truly ugly.
That madman!
Once Ye Li dies, I must immediately notify the Qingyi Bureau and have them take this madman away!
