Chapter 649: Chapter 649: You’re Really Capable!

"Stop pretending! I hate that the most!" Saying this, he stomped hard with his foot.

"Ugh!"

Clan Chief Ya was already in so much pain that he couldn’t speak, his Adam’s apple bobbing violently a few times.

"It was three years ago, during the rainy season," he replied.

"Why were you eavesdropping on my master’s conversations!" Zhe Jue asked.

"Because... because... because I wanted to know where he was hiding all the money he earned," Clan Chief Ya replied.

At that time, Ya Molian was alone. Every time he went up the mountain, there was nobody at home. He thought that if he knew where Ya Molian stored his money, he might be able to steal it while he wasn’t at home, so he wouldn’t have to worry about money anymore.

If he had known that his momentary greed would bring so much trouble, he would never have coveted Ya Molian’s money.

Now, he didn’t know what the man before him would do with him.

Zhe Jue was amused by Clan Chief Ya’s words. Clan Chief Ya, who seemed respectable from a distance, never expected him to be someone who would rob others when they aren’t at home unexpectedly!

"Clan Chief Ya, you really have some guts!"

He chuckled lightly and lifted his foot, shooting a glance at a subordinate next to him.

The subordinate immediately squatted down and picked up Clan Chief Ya’s hand. It made a ’clack-clack’ sound as he adjusted the dislocated joints back into place.

"Ah!"

Clan Chief Ya screamed in pain, but no one cared for him. He was thrown back onto the ground.

"Clan Chief Ya, tell me, now that you know so many of my master’s secrets, what should I do with you? Your offspring can be sold for a good price, considering you, an old bag of bones, wouldn’t bring much. Maybe I should... bury you?"

Zhe Jue paced back and forth in front of the Ya Family, asking as he walked.

"No, no, please don’t kill me."

Clan Chief Ya, overcome with fear, didn’t care about the pain in his hand anymore. He struggled to get up and fell to his knees in front of Zhe Jue, clutching his robe tightly.

"You tell Ya Molian..."

"Who permitted you to say my master’s name directly? Hmm?" Zhe Jue swiftly lifted his foot, kicking Clan Chief Ya, sprawled out on the ground.

"No, no..."

Clan Chief Ya scrambled up again, shivering as he faced Zhe Jue.

"You tell your master that I’m still useful in this village. As long as he doesn’t kill me, I’ll listen to him, I’ll do whatever he says."

As long as he wasn’t executed, he was willing to do anything.

"Hmph."

Zhe Jue chuckled lightly and subtly shook his head.

Of course, he knew he couldn’t kill this old man now, otherwise it would definitely be detrimental to his master and Miss Lin. His gaze lightly swept over an ostentatiously dressed old woman standing on the side.

The old woman immediately understood and stepped forward.

"Clan Chief Ya, I am a matchmaker. I have mediated quite a few marriages in the nearby villages. I hear you want to find a grand-daughter and grandson-in-law for yourself. Coming to me was the right choice."

Upon hearing this, Clan Chief Ya wished he were dead.

This old woman could watch him be beaten and threatened by Zhe Jue. How could she be an ordinary matchmaker? She must be one of Ya Molian’s people! Couldn’t he understand that yet?

They weren’t finding a grand-daughter and grandson-in-law for him, they were clearly looking for two people to keep an eye on his family!
