Chapter 388: Chapter 388: The Money House Guild (Part 2)
Upon hearing this, Zhu Fei’s expression had turned completely somber.
By now, how could he not guess that Yun Jian was being troubled by that moneylender’s guild because of the materials from the Red Wild Boar?
This had immediately stirred some anger in his heart.
He looked towards Huang Yiyi, speaking in a low tone, "Junior Sister Huang, can you take me to that moneylender’s guild now? Or rather, you tell me the location, and I can go there myself."
"This..."
Huang Yiyi was somewhat troubled.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to take Zhu Fei there, but she feared that once Zhu Fei went, he would be bullied by the people at that moneylender’s guild like those who had tried to intercede before.
She couldn’t help but look towards Yun Duo, and just as she was about to ask for Yun Duo’s opinion, she heard Zhu Fei speaking again beside her:
"Forget it, just tell me the location of that moneylender’s guild. I’ll go alone. You two just stay here and wait for my news."
"But..."
Huang Yiyi and Yun Duo exchanged glances, hesitation evident on both of their faces.
Seeing this, Zhu Fei feigned a moodier tone.
"What’s the matter with you two? What time is it now? Why are you dawdling? Give me the directions quickly."
His words startled Huang Yiyi and Yun Duo.
It was then they remembered that their Brother Yun was still held captive by the moneylender’s guild.
Yun Duo bit her lip, finally showing an apologetic and grateful expression as she spoke, "Then... then please bother Brother Zhu. Yiyi, you... you tell Brother Zhu the location of my brother."
"Oh oh, Brother Zhu, here is some basic information about that moneylender’s guild, I have also engraved the map in here. Please be very careful when you go."
Huang Yiyi nodded, handing a Jade Scroll that contained the basic details of the moneylender’s guild to Zhu Fei, her tone tinged with concern as she reminded him.
"Mm, thank you."
After taking the Jade Scroll, Zhu Fei quickly glanced over the information inside, a slight smile finally appearing on his face as he said:
"Alright, leave this matter to me. Remember, unless absolutely necessary, do not go out at all. Just stay at home and wait for my news."
With that said, Zhu Fei no longer hesitated. His figure flashed, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared from Huang Yiyi and Yun Duo’s sight.
Looking in the direction Zhu Fei had disappeared, Huang Yiyi couldn’t help but ask Yun Duo, "Duoduo, where exactly is Brother Zhu from? Why is he so good to your family? It couldn’t be because he is trying to hit on you, right?"
Huang Yiyi’s bold question instantly caused Yun Duo to blush deeply.
She shook her head repeatedly, but under her anxious heart, she found herself unable to utter a single word, causing her to stamp her feet in agitation.
"Hehe, okay okay, Duoduo, I’m just joking with you. You are Beiyun City’s foremost gem, how could Brother Zhu be worthy of you?"
"Yi... Yiyi... you... I..."
Yun Duo became very anxious.
She wanted to explain, but her natural stuttering became worse with her urgency, making her words incomprehensible and her mind utterly chaotic.
...
At the north gate, in the plaza outside the moneylender’s guild, many people had already started to gather progressively.
In the middle, a gray-robed middle-aged man was pointing his finger at Yun Jian, who was lying on the ground, and scolded him harshly,
"Little bastard! Don’t push your luck! I’m only offering twenty Qi Gathering Stones for your stuff today, take it or leave it! If you dare to squabble with me again or cause trouble in front of my money exchange, believe it or not, I’ll really kill you!"
Yun Jian’s face was filled with anger.
He was covered in injuries, his right arm hanging limp and seemingly broken.
His eyes brimmed with reluctance.
He had never imagined that the materials from the Red Wild Boar, originally worth two hundred Spirit Stones, would be undervalued to just twenty Qi Gathering Stones.
Not only that, but when he tried to take back the materials and sell them at another exchange, he was obstructed by the gray-robed man.
In the process, the man had attacked him and openly threatened him.
Yun Jian could swear that he had never experienced such humiliation in his life.
Looking at the gray-robed man’s aggressive demeanor, Yun Jian couldn’t help but feel waves of anger in his chest.
"What, you still unhappy? If you’re not satisfied, you can go complain to your Flowing Cloud Sect, I’d like to see if, for a mere outer sect disciple like you, they would offend our money exchange, hahaha!"
The gray-robed man laughed wildly, not taking Yun Jian, who he viewed as an insignificant ant, seriously at all.
So what if he stole his materials? By taking his materials, he was actually showing him respect. To think this little bastard would be so clueless and dare to openly challenge him, he truly didn’t know whether to live or die!
"Manager Zhang, aren’t you being a bit too excessive? The Red Wild Boar materials clearly worth two hundred Qi Gathering Stones, yet you only offer me twenty, how is that different from robbery?"
Finally, Yun Jian couldn’t hold back anymore.
He slowly got up from the ground, stared straight at the gray-robed Manager Zhang, and said word by word, "Your money exchange opens for business, acting without any trust or principle, who would dare to deal with you in the future?"
"Indeed, the actions of the money exchange this time were quite excessive."
"Alas, who can do anything about it when the money exchange is so powerful? Ordinary people can’t afford to provoke them."
"Ha! A ’dog’ crap exchange, they’re just the bloodsuckers of Beiyun City. Is it really the first time they’ve done something like this today? Don’t be kidding."
"Poor fellow, by offending the money exchange like this, his days ahead are likely going to be tough."
...
Soon after Yun Jian spoke, murmurs began to arise from the crowd of onlookers.
They looked at Manager Zhang and Yun Jian with eyes filled with sympathy, disdain, or pity.
At that moment, Manager Zhang also vaguely heard the discussions of the crowd, which made him even angrier. His gaze towards Yun Jian revealed a distinctly obvious intent to kill.
"You damn kid, how dare you openly challenge my money exchange, you’re seeking death!"
Manager Zhang waved his hand, and instantly two Qi Refining Fourth Level guards appeared, flanking Yun Jian on both sides, trapping him securely again.
Yun Jian’s heart sank.
He watched the two guards warily, seeing their murderous intent, he immediately realized that today, his chances were likely dire.
"Hehe, quite an impressive money exchange you have here."
Yet, just then, from within the nearby crowd, a voice full of sarcasm suddenly rang out.
People turned in astonishment to see a young man dressed in blue robes, staring at Manager Zhang with a playful and cold look.
