Chapter 194: Chapter 192: Never Met Before

"Uncle Yi, I am Mumu’s good friend."

Yan Rufeng said this while giving Yi Mu a quick glance.

"Hmph."

Yi Mu snorted coldly, turned his head away with a face full of disdain, and muttered to himself, "Who said you’re my good friend, you big pig’s trotter..."

Yi Zhantian carefully scrutinized Yan Rufeng and thought to himself, "This person claims to be Mumu’s friend, but judging by Mumu’s expression, it seems he doesn’t think much of him..."

Yi Zhantian didn’t have time to ponder further, he bowed his hands and asked, "Young Master Yan, since you are Mumu’s good friend, please ask Liu Yu and his people to leave with the White Jade Arhat."

Yan Rufeng smiled indifferently, "Uncle Yi, if Mumu says to let them go, I will let them return!"

Liu Yu had brought the White Jade Arhat, and Yi Zhantian was already troubled, thinking, "I really don’t know if this young man is a friend or foe. Doesn’t he know the current situation of the Yi Family? What he’s doing isn’t helping the Yi Family, it’s harming us..."

"Mumu!"

Yi Zhantian signaled to Yi Mu with his eyes, indicating for Yi Mu to ask Yan Rufeng to let Liu Yu go.

Yi Mu already had a bias against Yan Rufeng and didn’t want to pay him much attention. However, at his father’s command, and considering that Yan Rufeng was also helping the Yi Family, Yi Mu could not neglect his etiquette on both emotional and logical grounds.

Yi Mu walked slowly to Yan Rufeng and bowed.

"Young Master Yan, though Liu Yu is indeed detestable, the Yi Family is no longer what it used to be, we already..."

Yan Rufeng naturally knew what Yi Mu was about to say, so he immediately interrupted, "Mumu, I’ve already thoroughly investigated the matter of your family’s ancestor. Now I only ask you one question: will you avenge the deaths of over three hundred of your family members or not!"

Yi Mu did not answer; he turned his gaze to Yi Zhantian, only to be disappointed when he saw Yi Zhantian hastily shaking his head.

With tears of grievance in his eyes, Yi Mu finally said, "Young Master Yan, this is our family’s matter and has nothing to do with you. Please, in the future, refrain from interfering in any of our family affairs!"

Yan Rufeng understood well that Yi Mu said this to protect the Yi Family. Otherwise, with her level of cultivation, she could obliterate Liu Yu and his group with a simple move.

Yan Rufeng smiled slightly, "Since I have already intervened, how could I easily withdraw?"

Yi Mu was secretly pleased but didn’t show it. He quickly said, "Young Master Yan, don’t you understand what I said?"

"I understand, but I also saw you crying. I have a quirk; I can’t bear to see girls crying in front of me. Now I will stand up for your family..."

Yan Rufeng’s eyes turned sharply towards Liu Yu as she walked slowly towards him.

Liu Yu trembled, stammering, "Im...Immortal Master, what...what do you want to do?"

"What do I want to do?"

Yan Rufeng laughed coldly, "Liu Yu, you led the Liu Family members in a night attack on the Yi Family, causing the deaths of over three hundred of their members. Isn’t it time to settle this account?"

Liu Yu’s head slumped, and he collapsed onto the ground, his eyes vacant as he muttered, "It’s over, it’s all over."

"Liu Yu, will you take care of it yourself, or do you want me to do it?"

Yan Rufeng’s voice sounded like a death knell. Terrified, Liu Yu crawled to Yan Rufeng’s feet and kowtowed desperately.

Liu Yu said, "Immortal Master, though I deserve to die, you said that if I brought the White Jade Arhat, you would let me go. You said it!"

"Ha!"

Yan Rufeng sneered, "I did say that, now you can leave."

Liu Yu hurriedly got up and said to his people, "Brothers, we’re leaving."

"Haha..."

Yan Rufeng laughed, "Liu Yu, I said I would let you go, but I never said I would let them go."

Liu Yu clenched his fists tightly, shouting in his heart, "Yan Rufeng, don’t push too far. After today, I will go to seek our family’s ancestor to take your life..."

Suppressing his inner rage, Liu Yu shouted fiercely, "Brothers, as you can see, it is impossible for us to leave the Yi Family safely today. For the prosperity of our Liu Family, take your own lives."

As soon as Liu Yu finished speaking, the Liu Family members each picked up their long knives and slit their throats.

Blood flowed onto the ground. The blood from over a thousand people pooled in low spots, becoming thicker and thicker, while the strong smell of blood permeated the entire Yi Family Mansion.

Liu Yu straightened his chest slightly, choking back sobs, "You are all good sons of our Liu Family. I, Liu Yu, will remember you..."

After Liu Yu left, Yan Rufeng sent out a flame towards the dead Liu Family members, and soon the bodies of a thousand people turned to ashes.

Seeing this, Yi Mu couldn’t help but wonder, "Strange, why can’t I see his level of cultivation? Wasn’t he seriously ill? How did he recover so quickly, and how did he find our family? Why is he helping us..."

Though Yi Mu had a thousand questions, he didn’t ask Yan Rufeng. Instead, he remained properly reserved, standing behind Yi Zhantian.

"Sigh..."

Seeing this, Yi Zhantian sighed and thought to himself, "Once Liu Yu returns, his first action will definitely be to go up the mountain to seek their family’s ancestor to avenge them. But who can we go to..."

Seeming to guess what Yi Zhantian was thinking, Yan Rufeng said calmly, "Uncle Yi, don’t worry. According to what I heard from Liu Yu, the Dragon Abyss Sect will soon send Jieyin Disciples to choose sect disciples. They will definitely select someone from your family as a disciple of the Dragon Abyss Sect."

"Sigh..."

Yi Zhantian let out a long sigh, "Young Master Yan, are you so sure? You should know that our family members have been oppressed in the Dragon Abyss Sect. Do you think we still have hope?"

Yan Rufeng said firmly, "Uncle Yi, if I hadn’t come, it would have been hard to say. But now, as for a mere Dragon Abyss Sect, I, Yan Rufeng, do not take it into account at all!"

"Heh heh!"

Yi Zhantian sneered, "Young Master Yan, if there’s nothing else, please depart. Our family’s matters will be handled by us alone. Mumu, see the guest out!"

Yan Rufeng, in confusion, thought, "They’re driving me away already. Did I say something wrong..."

Yi Mu came to Yan Rufeng and forced a smile, "Young Master Yan, please."

Following behind Yi Mu, Yan Rufeng weakly asked, "Mumu, do you not believe what I said?"

Yi Mu turned around and seriously said, "I believe!"

"If you believe then..."

"Just kidding..."

Yi Mu escorted Yan Rufeng to the courtyard gate, shoved him out forcefully, and said sternly, "Young Master Yan, one must have self-awareness. I hope you understand your own abilities. No matter what the matter is in this world, it cannot be solved by words alone. Thank you for what you’ve done for our family. Now leave, and let’s pretend we never knew each other!"

"Bang...clang..."

Yi Mu shut the newly made door firmly.

"Ugh!"

Left standing in the wind at the gate of the Yi Family Mansion, Yan Rufeng was at a loss for words...
