Chapter 21: A Crisis Is Imminent
After all, this battle still failed to fight, and just a moment after the confrontation between the three of them, a trace of human voice was faintly heard. And Lin Zhuo put away his sword almost immediately, and then jumped onto the stone road and ran in the direction of the city. It's just that when he passed by, he glanced at Yue Yu deeply.
This made the two people who were on full guard relax together, and Yue Yu was even more apprehensive. From Lin Zhuo's eyes just now, what he saw was an increasingly strong battle intent. At first, there was some hesitation, and then in the end, there was nothing else.
And for this guy, although Yue Yu was not afraid, he also wanted to try it himself, the true strength of a martial artist-level powerhouse. However, at this moment, whether it is the place or the time, there is something wrong.
This waterhole is not far from the roadside, and the sky has been slanted, it is the time for the people who are active in the back mountain to return, and I don't know if there is anyone peeping around.
――Here, even a momentary fight may reveal his true strength now.
Thinking of the consequences, Yue Yu couldn't help but be a little grateful, and looked towards the place where the voice came from. Then he smiled bitterly in his heart, this time it was Yue Lin and Yue Feng's group who saved him.
As soon as his neck shrank, Yue Yu hurriedly pulled Ran Li and left. Ever since he saw Yue Lin defeated at the hands of Lin Table, he had occasionally bumped into these 'clan brothers' a few times in the past few months. I don't know if Yue Feng said something in his cousin's ear, or if it was just because of the last time, in short, Yue Lin had never given him a good look since then. As for the others, they are all cynicism.
Yue Yu was really afraid of them. Although his actual age is twenty-three years old, he can't guarantee that with his surname, he will not be completely irritated by the words of these little children.
Fortunately, this time it may be because it was still early, Yue Lin and Yue Feng's group were not in a hurry, and the two of them were not caught up by the teenagers behind until they approached the front mountain.
"Young Master, that Lin Zhuo seems to be a little weird. You said that he already has the strength of a martial artist, why do you have to hide it?"
Ran Li said with grinning teeth while walking on the gravel road with a giant axe. He wasn't hit by Lin Zhuo's sword just now, but his back hit a fast rock, and there were some bruises in his muscles. Or because of getting along for a long time, this 'honest' young man has also begun to get used to putting down his mask in front of Yue Yu. And at this moment, the pupil is shining with a wise luster.
"--That guy, don't you want to make a splash at the clan conference in half a year?"
Yue Yu shook his head noncommittally when he heard this, in fact, although he was also a little puzzled by this matter.
In Yuejia City, anyone who has achieved martial arts will be eager to let everyone know. Like Lin Zhuo, it is indeed a bit rare. If it's just a breakthrough, it's just that, but looking at the sword qi, it's obvious that the time to break through the martial artist is not short.
And before, Lin Zhuo at that time, as far as he could see, was indeed full of fighting spirit. But after seeing someone approaching, he did not hesitate to retreat. The mystery in it is really intriguing.
Of course, Ran Li's guess may not be impossible. But in Yue Yu's opinion, there should be other reasons for this-
However, this Lin Zhuo's matter had nothing to do with him, and Yue Yu never intended to delve into it. It's the big guy next to him, this time it's really dangerous to ruin his big thing.
A sudden and unforeseen punch hit Ran Li's waist hard. Just as Ran Li was crying and bowing down, Yue Yu smiled faintly and walked into the city gate first. This time, he didn't spare his hand at all, except for not using his true qi, almost all of his strength was used, and he hit the vital point on the back of Ran Li's waist with great precision. What I did was to teach this big man a very impressive 'deep' lesson for today's events.
Or Ran Li's physique was worse than Yue Yu imagined. Or maybe this guy wants to pretend to be pitiful in front of Yue Yu. In short, it wasn't until ten minutes later that Ran Li slowly recovered his breath and had the strength to move his steps. By the time Yue Yu supported him and returned to his home a little west in the north of the city, it was already after the fall.
And when the two of them just entered the alley in front of the mansion, they found dozens of Tsing Yi guys embroidered with seven to nine copper wires on their sleeves in front of them, waiting at the door of their mansion. Yue Yu looked around a little inexplicably, and then walked into the gate of this courtyard with Ran Li, who still had a painful face. As soon as I stepped into the small courtyard inside, I saw three or five middle-aged men in green forged clothes, walking out of the direction of the main house angrily.
Yue Yu frowned suddenly, these were the few lobbyists in front of him who kept coming to persuade Yue Zhang's family to transfer their fields. And what surprised him a little was that Yue Youde, who had helped him in the pharmacy before, was actually among them.
Holding back his anger, Yue Yu's figure stepped aside and leaned over to these so-called 'clan uncles'. No matter how angry he is with these people at this moment, he can't say that they don't have a tutor at this time.
To his surprise, the few people who walked in front of him all snorted when they saw him, and they left with their sleeves up. Yue Yu was stunned for a moment, no matter how dissatisfied these people were, they would endure the surname and stop to greet his uncle and nephew. Looking at the situation today, he didn't even care about the last veil of warmth.
Just as Yue Yu was wondering if this was a complete turn, he saw Yue Youde walking up to him with a wry smile.
"Virtuous nephew, you are really ashamed to have Uncle De this time, I'm afraid I can't help you. When you go in and see your mother, help me say I'm sorry to her. And if possible, persuade your mother to take a step back and open the sky—"
After speaking, Yue Youde patted him on the shoulder again, and after a long sigh, he followed everyone away. In Yue Yu's pupils, a trace of coldness flashed, he really couldn't stand it, this guy's tone of pity. And Ran Li, who was behind, smashed his fist on the pillar next to him, and his tiger eyes were full of anger.
However, at this time, Yue Yu thought more than a burst of anger in his heart. Based on these times, his understanding of Jin Xu's surname, this clan deacon with a calm surname, should not be so unbreathable. Could it be that something else happened in this family?
With a deep groan, Yue Yu walked quickly through the small courtyard, and then grabbed a personal maid who was coming out of the main house and served by Yue Zhang's side all the year round. And before he could ask, the girl named Cui'er was pleasantly surprised.
"Little master, go in quickly and persuade the master. Her old man was originally preparing a banquet for the virtuous old man, and told me about your apprenticeship in the pharmacy. As a result, Master Youde brought a group of people over in the evening, and the master mother was so angry that she almost knocked over the table-"
Before the words fell, several people heard the crisp sound of dishes falling from inside the house. Yue Yu and Ran Li looked at each other in amazement, and then they both saw a trace of suspicion in each other's eyes.
Yue Zhang's surname is introverted, and it is rare to have a chance to lose his temper every year. There are even fewer times when it is so out of control, and it seems that this time I am afraid that I am really angry.
"The meaning of those masters is that they are going to give our family a matchmaker, and they want our young lady to marry the son of Deacon Jin. ”
Seeing the doubts on the faces of the two, Cui'er explained with a wry smile. Yue Yu's fists suddenly clenched violently, and his knuckles cracked with a clattering sound.
Even if he has only been in this world for less than half a year, even if he has never met that 'sister', when he hears this, it still makes him angry!
After taking several deep breaths in a row, Yue Yu barely managed to suppress the fury that almost erupted in his chest.
"Cui'er, apart from this matter, is there anything else at home that annoys my mother?"
If it was just to say goodbye, then it would be absolutely impossible for the city government of the Yue Zhang clan to be angry to this extent.
"Young master, in fact, there is still our family's manor—"
Cui'er was still a little hesitant at first, until she inadvertently touched Yue Yu's cold gaze, and then her heart trembled, and she even trembled a little when she spoke. "Just now, someone over there brought news that the two martial artists there were ready to quit. ”
Yue Yu's eyebrows raised slightly, all these mysteries had a reasonable explanation at this moment.
