Main Text: Chapter 127 Zhao Yumo's Angry
While Lin Xueyi was happily playing outside, some members of the Zhao family, who should have been excited about hosting a Grandmaster-level expert, were unusually angry.
A sharp "snap" startled the maid who had just served the tea, causing her to shrink back in fear as she stared at the monstrous-faced young master before her.
"You may all leave."
At this moment, Zhao Yumo's personal attendant, who had been following him closely, waved his hand, signaling the poor, frightened maid to leave quickly, before starting to clean up the broken teacup on the ground.
As if he hadn't seen his servants cleaning, Zhao Yumo sat down in his chair in annoyance, even slamming his fist on the table a few more times before shouting.
"That woman, how dare she, how dare she, how dare she refuse me. Who am I? Doesn't she know? What's so great about that Zhao Yuxuan? Are her eyes holes? Can't she see whose talent is the best?"
"Young Master, please calm down, please calm down. Don't get upset over a little girl. She just doesn't understand your abilities, that's why she ignores you. If she did, she would definitely agree without hesitation, that's for sure, Young Master."
“No problem, no problem at all. I can see that Lin Xueyi looks down on me at all. What kind of grandmaster is she? She's just a little girl. I don't believe that once I pin her down on the bed, what can she do to me?”
The words of his attendant did not ease Zhao Yumo's mind; instead, they fueled dark and dangerous thoughts within him. His bloodshot eyes were filled with rage and savagery.
"I don't believe it. What if she's a grandmaster? She's just a woman. Once I subdue her, what grandmaster? She'll be mine."
Thinking of the little girl's adorable appearance, Zhao Yumo felt that even if he forced himself on her, it wouldn't be a loss; he might even make a huge profit. With a grandmaster as his backer, all sorts of powerful figures like the Zhaoyuan Escort Agency, the Sun family, the Baifeng Pavilion, and the Zuikexuan would have to kneel down before him.
The servant felt a sense of unfamiliarity and fear upon seeing his young master in this state. Although he did not know how strong this grandmaster was, judging from the way the family treated him, the grandmaster was probably not someone to be trifled with.
"Go and prepare some things for me; I'll need them."
He placed his hand near his servant's ear and whispered what he needed to prepare. Seeing the servant's somewhat confused expression, Zhao Yumo gently patted his head.
"Go quickly, this is very important. Also, don't tell anyone about this, understand?"
"Haha, I can't tell anyone about it."
As the sound approached, the door slowly opened, and Zhao Yumo's master from the Zhao family appeared inside. The old man stepped in and glanced at the tea that hadn't been wiped clean on the floor.
"It seems you didn't get the result you wanted from Master Lin this time, but that's to be expected. Why are you so angry?"
“Master, I’m just not comfortable with this. This woman completely ignored me and even made sarcastic remarks and mockery of me. I can’t stand it.”
Zhao Yu didn't expect that after hearing the occasional chuckle from Lin Xueyi's face, he felt his anger rising, and he even wanted to punch that little face a couple of times.
Especially that line, "Even the most toads want to get a piece of the action here, but even if it's swan meat, it's not something just any toad can get its hands on."
Isn't this clearly calling him a toad? Who is he? Zhao Yumo, the most talented member of the Zhao family in Luoxie City, is also a well-known figure in Luoxie City. She's just a grandmaster, what's so great about her? If he had her martial arts, he could also become a grandmaster.
Seeing the increasingly violent expression on his face, the white-haired master felt something was wrong. Could this kid be planning to attack Lin Xueyi? It wasn't that he was afraid of hurting him, but if he offended Lin Xueyi, wouldn't the Zhao family also suffer? Then his plan to make the Zhao family their source of wealth and weapons would be ruined.
“Hey, Yu Mo, that’s your problem. A Grandmaster is a Grandmaster. It would be strange if she immediately agreed to let someone in the Acquired Realm become her disciple. Perhaps this is Grandmaster Lin’s test for you.”
Regardless of whether it was a test or not, Zhao Yumo felt that it would be better to just go for it directly. If he succeeded, he would become the most powerful person in Luoxie City, and perhaps even the most powerful person in the entire Qingzhou.
As if seeing the madness in Zhao Yumo's eyes, this master also felt that perhaps he had made a big mistake by letting Zhao Yumo find Lin Xueyi.
"Yu Mo, you need to be careful. This Grandmaster is no ordinary person. If we really provoke her, it could bring annihilation to the Zhao family."
Zhao Yumo, who was already lost in his own delusions, scoffed at his master's words and was no longer listening to anyone else.
Lin Xueyi had already returned to her room and was completely unaware that Zhao Yumo wanted to harm her. Her mind was filled with thoughts of her conversation with Miss Lin Weier that evening, as well as that reckless Feng Linyang.
"Xueyi, why don't you just let me take action and break that Feng Linyang's legs? He spoke rudely to you. If we don't teach him a lesson, people will think you're easy to bully."
The thought of letting Feng Linyang go in the Hundred Phoenix Pavilion filled Ye Qin'er with displeasure, especially since Feng Linyang had actually provocatively said to Lin Xueyi, "Come tomorrow if you want, do you think I'm afraid of you? Don't end up fighting with your brother for too long and end up falling in love with him."
This was clearly a harassment of Xueyi, which made Ye Qin'er even angrier at Feng Linyang. However, Lin Xueyi didn't say anything to him, but instead turned around and left with her.
This is clearly a sign of weakness. This girl could have easily killed this man, so why is she acting so strangely today and not making a move?
“Sister Qin’er, that’s a place where people do business. It wouldn’t be good for us to just kill someone there. Besides, Sister Lin Wei’er and I get along very well, so we can’t cause her any trouble. Anyway, we’ll go find trouble for Feng Lin Yang tomorrow during the day. It’s only one night, we can wait. Let’s just consider it a favor to this dying man for one night.”
Main text: Chapter 128 Let's go, let's go find trouble (two chapters released together)
Early in the morning, Zhao Yuxuan brought the famous breakfast from Luo Xie City that he had bought outside to his master's room and carefully knocked on the door.
There was nothing he could do; he knew his master's habit of sleeping in very well, especially since his master's temper was not easy to quell if he wasn't fully awake. To avoid losing his life, Zhao Yuxuan only hoped that the knocking would wake Ye Qin'er, rather than disturb his master's peaceful sleep.
However, the knocking did not elicit any response from inside the room, which surprised Zhao Yuxuan. Based on his experience with knocking, his master would not wake up, but Ye Qin'er would definitely wake up. Why was there no reaction at all?
Could it be that they played too late last night? That shouldn't be the case. The servants told him what time they returned to the manor long ago, and he also knew where they went. It's just that I can understand my master being so mischievous, but why would Ye Qin'er follow suit and act so recklessly?
He had heard of Baifeng Pavilion, but back then he had no cultivation and no status in his family. Not to mention money, he didn't even get the best food. If his father hadn't been the head of the family, he might have even had his meals cut off.
"Brother Xuan, what are you doing here? This is the women's backyard. You coming here, don't tell me..."
A cheerful voice reached Zhao Yuxuan's ears. Without even looking, he knew it was his younger sister from his family, Zhao Yuqing. Like himself before, she had no talent for martial arts and was ostracized at home. However, she was even worse off than him. Her parents were from a collateral branch of the family and had no status in the Zhao family. They only gave her some conveniences in terms of food and clothing because she was pretty and had some use to certain people.
In fact, this younger sister knew that her future was only to be used as a tool to unite other forces. But what could she do? Born into such a family, there were some things that she couldn't do just because she wanted to.
"Brother Xuan, this morning when I was practicing my skills, I saw Master Lin walking out with his maid."
"What? Master took Miss Ye out so early? Has something serious happened?" Hearing that his master had gotten up so early, which was unusual for him, Zhao Yuxuan felt that something was wrong. Unless it was something important, how could his lazy master get up so early?
“Brother, are you going to find Master Lin? I’ll go with you. When they left, I heard Miss Ye say something that made me think they were going to Zhaoyuan Escort Agency.”
"Zhaoyuan Escort Agency?" Zhao Yuxuan seemed to recall something upon hearing this name.
"Feng Linyang came back yesterday, didn't he? Hmph, I'm afraid that kid caused trouble for Master and ended up being held a grudge by him. Alright, let's go over there and see what Feng Linyang did to make Master skip his nap and rush to cause him trouble."
"Oh dear, brother, while you're talking, Master Lin has already arrived. If we're late, we'll miss out on the excitement. Let's hurry up and go."
Grabbing Zhao Yuxuan's arm, she hurriedly ran outside. This was quite a lively scene. And don't think she didn't know that there were some people in the family who wanted to marry her off to the Zhaoyuan Escort Agency. As for who she would marry, that goes without saying.
In Zhao Yuqing's mind, the best outcome would be if Lin Xueyi could beat Feng Linyang to death, so that she wouldn't have to worry about marrying this playboy.
Dragged by his younger sister, Zhao Yuxuan had no choice but to follow her.
Lin Xueyi had already arrived at the gate of Zhaoyuan Escort Agency. She didn't recognize it at first, but Zhaoyuan Escort Agency was known to everyone in Luoxie City. With a little help of silver and by asking a few passersby, she found the escort agency, which looked very imposing.
"Halt! This is Zhaoyuan Escort Agency. If you need to transport goods, register at the registration desk outside the agency and then obtain... *gurgle*..."
A man dressed as a bodyguard stepped forward to stop her, but before he could finish speaking, Lin Xueyi kicked him dozens of meters away. He was unharmed, but the gate he hit collapsed with a crash.
Standing there dumbfounded, the bodyguard had no idea what to do. Fortunately, the bodyguard next to him reacted and shouted out.
"Someone's causing trouble! Someone's come to our escort agency to cause trouble! Everyone come out quickly!"
Lin Xueyi watched quietly as dozens of men dressed as bodyguards rushed out shortly after the sound faded, each carrying various weapons. The gleaming weapons only fueled Lin Xueyi's growing irritation.
She was an early riser and had no patience to wait, and when these people came out, no other important figures appeared, which made Lin Xueyi even more annoyed.
"Girl, why don't I do it while you rest for a while?" Ye Qin'er knew that Lin Xueyi was very impatient after getting up early, so she wanted to take the initiative, but Lin Xueyi refused her with a raised hand.
"No need. These lackeys are just asking for death. Do they really think I wouldn't dare to kill them?"
With the movement of his ten fingers, his eyes burst forth with dazzling light. The next second, a giant dragon soared up, its roar shaking the heavens. Not only did it send all the bodyguards flying sideways with the dragon, but it also shook the entire city of Luo Xie.
Watching mouthfuls of blood spurt from the mouths of these bodyguards, Lin Xueyi walked inside expressionlessly. With each step, the hearts of these bodyguards, who were already unable to rise again, trembled. That palm strike had completely shattered their courage.
"It's not that our Zhaoyuan Escort Agency did anything wrong to cause you to come here and cause trouble."
Lin Xueyi glanced at Ye Qin'er again, preventing her from speaking, and quietly looked at the middle-aged man in front of her. "You're not the chief镖头 (bodyguard/escort) here. Let him come out and answer."
"Hmph, just a little girl, why would she need our...镖...头... (chief escort)..."
He dared not continue speaking, because the little girl he looked down upon had already come up behind him without him noticing.
If the opponent had used the same palm strike as before, I might already be in the same situation as these bodyguards on the ground.
"Go find your chief镖头 (chief镖头, head镖师, or head镖师) and bring him out. Remember, if he doesn't come out, I'll tear down the Zhaoyuan镖局 (Zhaoyuan Escort Agency). I don't believe he'll still be hiding inside then."
"You...who are you...?" She had initially thought he was just an arrogant little girl, but now she realized that she was the fool who was courting death.
If he didn't know who this girl really was, he probably wouldn't have a good outcome if he went in. But if he didn't go, he would have been beaten down by her right now.
"Not going? Fine, I'll count to ten. If you still don't go, don't blame me for being impolite and just storming in." Although storming in wouldn't perfectly achieve his goal, it would at least allow him to vent his anger.
"ten."
Before the head镖师 (bodyguard/escort) could react, Lin Xueyi had already said the first number. The head镖师 stared in shock, completely unexpected that this little girl would do things the way she always did, counting to ten and then directly to ten.
"Stop, halt! I'll go right now, I'll go get our chief镖头 (chief镖师, head镖师) right now."
It has to be said that this time, Zhaoyuan Escort Agency has really bitten off more than they can chew. What's even more unacceptable is that they still don't know how they offended this woman.
"You guys take all these people inside and treat their injuries."
Although he had promised Lin Xueyi, the head镖师 (bodyguard/escort) still directed the few bodyguards who had come out with him to quickly bring the dozens of wounded men lying on the ground inside. If they weren't brought inside soon, he doubted whether these men could hold on until the matter was over.
Lin Xueyi didn't stop these people from bringing in the bodyguards she had injured, or rather, she didn't intend to kill indiscriminately, but she still wanted to vent her anger.
The saying goes that every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt its debtor. She wouldn't stoop so low as to take her anger out on these servants. Her goal was simple: to ruin the reputation of the Zhaoyuan Escort Agency and, incidentally, teach the man who had caused her trouble yesterday a lesson.
"Xueyi, the chief镖头 here is very famous in the martial arts world, and many bandit groups are related to him."
"So what? If there's a connection, then there's a connection. I really don't know what kind of bandit forces could cause me trouble."
After learning about her cultivation level, Lin Xueyi lost her previous caution and timidity. Moreover, she hoped to cause more trouble, since she could not find Ruoxue's whereabouts but could leave traces to make Ruoxue come looking for her.
As long as things get out of hand and become a huge scandal, Ruoxue will be able to find her based on those clues. Hmm, Lin Xueyi thought she was quite the clever one. She even came up with this kind of idea.
Not long after, a deep voice came from inside the Zhaoyuan Escort Agency, and a middle-aged man with a leopard-like head and piercing eyes flew over at an extremely fast speed.
"I didn't expect it to be Master Lin. I apologize for not greeting you properly."
Huh? This... This is so polite, how is she supposed to cause trouble? Lin Xueyi had thought of everything, but she hadn't expected the other party to see through her identity and still treat her with such high regard. How was she supposed to take action now?
"Hmph, there's no need for a warm welcome, but there are some things I need to discuss with you properly, lest anyone think I'm bullying the weak."
The area was now surrounded by many civilians and people from various factions, but seeing this little girl speaking so seriously about bullying the adults opposite her, it still felt like something was off.
Lin Xueyi's words surprised Feng Kenan. He had heard that a grandmaster had come to the Zhao family, who was also the master of the Zhao family head's son. He originally wanted to wait for his son to come home so that he could take him to pay his respects, in case his son was also taken as a disciple. However, he did not see his eldest son come home yesterday, so he could only think of delaying it.
And now this grandmaster has come to my door. Could it be that he's angry because I didn't pay him a visit? After all, she's still just a young girl, with a childlike heart. It's not surprising that something like this happened.
"It was my fault. I had already prepared a small gift and planned to visit the Grandmaster today."
In fact, many people think so too. After all, there is no obvious conflict between Zhaoyuan Escort Agency and Lin Xueyi, so it is normal for people to have some misunderstandings about why Lin Xueyi came here. However, there are also people who understand, such as Jin Xueyan of Baifeng Pavilion and the Zhao siblings.
"No need. I don't really care about your little gift. Bring out your son, Feng Linyang, and tell him that I'm here to cause him trouble today, as agreed yesterday."
If you want to steer things in the wrong direction, you have to see if she agrees. He already told her yesterday that she was coming to cause him trouble today. Since she is a grandmaster, he should naturally keep his word.
However, when Feng Kenan heard these words, he was furious. He knew his son's character all too well, and if he really had a verbal conflict with Lin Xueyi, it would be no small matter.
“My son hasn’t come home yet. I’ll send someone to look for him right away.”
