C414 A Familiar Scene
C414 A Familiar Scene
The two of them could not see the situation inside clearly. Yang Xuan casually set up a hidden formation to cover his body and swaggered over.
This hidden formation might be exposed to those with cultivation base, but it was not a problem to deal with these servants who did not have any cultivation base.
The moment they entered, the textile machines on both sides had already stopped. Many Xiuniang were rushed to the side and the young duke was facing Lau Hongti with his hands behind his back.
"Hongti, let me ask you one last question. Do you want to follow this young lord?"
Lau Hongti frowned and immediately spat, "Feng Li, just give up. This lady was born under Lieutenant Ning. If I die, I will be the ghost of Lieutenant Ning!"
The young duke's eyes immediately became gloomy, "Lau Hongti, don't you not know what's good for you. That man surnamed Ning has already been thrown out to feed the dogs. You will not be able to see him in this lifetime!"
"Lieutenant Ning is General Zhou's confidant. When General Zhou comes back, your Weiyuan Marquis Mansion will be in trouble!"
"Pooh, my dad said that Zhou got into a huge trouble twenty years ago before he was exiled. If he goes back now, he will most likely be punished. He won't be able to come back!"
When Yang Xuan, who was hiding in the dark, heard this, he frowned slightly and murmured, "What did Master do twenty years ago? Why did he never mention it to me?"
Yuh Qingcheng thought for a moment and raised her head. "If it was twenty years ago, it might have something to do with the spectral cultivators."
Ghost cultivator?
How could Zhou Fengmiao have anything to do with ghost cultivators?
Yang Xuan wanted to ask, but the young duke had already found traces of the two.
"Who is sneaking around in the corner? Come out for this young lord!"
He waved his sleeve and a vibrating Spiritual Force immediately surged over, heading straight in the direction of Yang Xuan and Yuh Qingcheng.
His attack had also allowed Yang Xuan to clearly see his strength.
"He is merely a peak Second Stage, but he still dares to act arrogantly in front of me!"
Yang Xuan threw out a punch. The fist force collided with the Spiritual Force, creating a muffled bang. Immediately after, the Spiritual Force dissipated, and the fist force went straight for the young duke's chest.
In the next moment, the butler of the Marquis Estate appeared in front of the young duke, and used a palm to resolve the crisis.
"How dare you plot against the Marquis!"
He had only blocked Yang Xuan's fist force and could not even be considered to have attacked, but he looked very relaxed, causing Yang Xuan to secretly guess his strength.
The two of them slowly appeared. The moment the housekeeper saw Yang Xuan, he was immediately shocked.
"It's you! The evil star that destroyed the Zhou family, Yang Xuan!"
Yuh Qingcheng looked at Yang Xuan in surprise. Yang Xuan himself was also a little confused. Obviously, he didn't know when he had gained the title 'evil star'.
The butler seemed to be very familiar with Yang Xuan. After all, Yang Xuan's portrait had been hung on every street and alley in Lo Capital. The news of the destruction of the Zhou family had also spread to every major power in an instant.
Back then, there was no difference between the Zhou family and the local emperor in Lo Capital. It was almost as if the Zhou family had the power to cover the sky.
After Yang Xuan's disturbance, not only was the patriarch of Zhou family gone, but all the disciples in the family had also been attacked by various major powers. They were living a life worse than death, and many of them had already moved out of Lo Capital.
As the second major power of Zhou family, Weiyuan Marquis Mansion naturally had palpitations when it saw Yang Xuan.
They didn't want to become the second Zhou family.
At this moment, the butler's attitude became a little more polite. He knew that he had misspoken just now. He cupped his hands and said, "I have long heard about Young Master Yang's return to the capital. Originally, my Weiyuan Marquis Mansion was prepared to congratulate Young Master Yang. I didn't expect that it would be delayed by an hour."
"You're quite well-informed." Yang Xuan smiled and took a step forward. He looked coldly at the young marquis and said, "I just don't know how long the young marquis will live in the capital if he is so arrogant and despotic."
Provoke!
Even Yuh Qingcheng could hear the meaning behind Yang Xuan's words. The housekeeper's face immediately turned red. The young marquis even had blue veins on his forehead. He gritted his teeth and said, "What do you mean?"
"Nothing. I just don't want to see some people bully others with their power. What kind of ability is it to bully a weak girl?"
As Yang Xuan said this, Lau Hongti immediately cast a grateful look. Yuh Qingcheng behind him unnoticeably pinched a piece of flesh and twisted it.
This move immediately made Yang Xuan grimace in pain. But in front of so many people, Yang Xuan still endured it and his expression was still the same as before.
The color on the young duke's face changed again and again. But he was afraid of Yang Xuan's name and knew that he was not a match for Yang Xuan. He took a step behind the butler.
"Young Master Yang, the capital is the capital, and Lo Capital is the Lo Capital. I think you still don't know the rules of the Lo Capital, right?"
"The rules of the Lo Capital are to bully others with their power? That's true. The Zhou family is the same, and you are the same. "
The butler didn't understand Yang Xuan's words. His expression didn't change as he said, "The rule of Lo Capital is that if you kill someone, you will pay with your life. If you put it this way, it wouldn't be too much, right?"
Yang Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly. He glanced at Lau Hongti and said, "That's not a problem. But why does this weak girl owe you Weiyuan Marquis Mansion's debt? Did she kill your people or owe you the goods?"
"She didn't do anything. She just almost burned our Weiyuan Marquis Mansion!"
Hmm?
Yang Xuan immediately turned his eyes to look at Lau Hongti. He never thought that this seemingly weak and gentle girl could do such a crazy thing.
Lau Hongti's face immediately turned red and she whispered, "That day, Lieutenant Ning drank some wine and was a little impulsive..."
Then, she slowly told Yang Xuan what had happened during this period of time.
After Yang Xuan left, Ning Zifeng was left behind to deal with the matters of Zhou family. He inadvertently met Lau Hongti. The two men had feelings for each other and naturally had a good heart.
However, the young duke of Weiyuan Marquis Mansion also took a fancy to Lau Hongti. He directly sent someone to Red Lotus Workshop to propose marriage, and Ning Zifeng happened to bump into him. He immediately beat up all the people who came to propose marriage and threw them out on the spot.
This action had angered Weiyuan Marquis Mansion. Zhou Fengmiao immediately sent someone to marry Lau Hongti as soon as he left Jingdu.
Ning Zifeng, who knew about this matter, hid it from Zhou Fengmiao. Halfway through, he came back to see Lau Hongti and then rushed to Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, almost burning the manor to ashes.
However, the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion was a major power after all. There were many hidden dragons and crouching tigers among them. They immediately captured Ning Zifeng, and Lau Hongti didn't know what happened after that.
She originally thought that Ning Zifeng had already died under the hands of Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, but she didn't expect that she would meet Yang Xuan again today to deliver a letter.
After listening to her narration, Yang Xuan turned his head to look at the young duke and sneered.
"Robbing civilians again. Why do all of you big families like this?"
