Chapter 406: Almost Injuring Friendly Forces

The others who came along also chimed in, fanning the flames.

"That's right, this matter must be clarified today! I had enough of my boss's wrath when I was alive, and now I'm being humiliated like this even after I'm dead. This can't be left like this!"

"Or else you'll have to bear the consequences? What consequences do you want us to bear? Do you want the dead to die again?"

"..."

When Ye Wanxi came down with a dark face, she saw Gao Qiang and his companion surrounded by a group of men and women, huddled together and trembling.

If the noise of one person is comparable to that of five hundred ducks, then the combined noise of four or five people is definitely more than just the noise of several thousand ducks.

Ye Wanxi was getting a headache from all the noise. She looked to the side and froze.

Gao Min stood a few meters away from Gao Qiang and the others, munching on a freshly baked meat bun, looking like an enthusiastic bystander.

"..." Should she say, "No wonder she's my older sister?"

Seeing Gao Min like this, Ye Wanxi's anger, which had been extinguished from her sweet dreams early in the morning, dissipated considerably. She stood at the top of the stairs and sneered, "It's quite lively this early in the morning."

The noise below stopped abruptly. Zhen Huijuan must have explained Ye Wanxi to these guys before she came.

Upon encountering the real person, they were surprised, but fear and apprehension also welled up in their eyes.

Since this person can easily remove the evil aura from them, he can also make their souls disappear at any time.

"Weren't you pretty arrogant just now? If you're so capable, go and cause trouble for those who bully you. Why are you throwing a tantrum here? Do you really think I won't dare to do anything to you?" Ye Wanxi saw through their little schemes at a glance. She walked down the stairs step by step, her tone becoming increasingly cold. "You come to my territory to bully my people. You think you're so great?"

The men and women who had been yelling and screaming just a moment ago fell silent instantly, while Gao Qiang and his companion seemed to have grasped at a lifeline and stumbled towards her.

"Miss Ye..." Before she could finish speaking, they saw Gao Min hiding to the side, secretly laughing. The two of them immediately exploded, "Sister, we were all scared to death, and you're still laughing!"

"So what if I laughed? How pathetic! They're all talk and no action. Didn't you notice they were whispering amongst themselves for ages, not daring to touch you even with a finger? Stupid as hell."

Gao Qiang and his companion were stunned, only then realizing what had happened.

Not to mention that this is Ye Wanxi's home, with Ye Wanxi here, these demons and monsters wouldn't dare to touch them casually. Both of them are also carrying the amulets given to them by Ye Wanxi. If these guys really dare to bully them, who knows who will get hurt!

Having figured this out, the two felt much more at ease, and at the same time, they were deeply annoyed at their own lack of composure just now.

The mask of bravado masking weakness has been torn away, and these unfortunate souls dare not utter a word of anger.

Zhen Huijuan, who had met Ye Wanxi last night and exchanged a few words with her, held her breath and said, "Miss Ye, this matter cannot be entirely blamed on us. They wrote something on the window that said 'Scum and ghosts are not allowed to enter.' Isn't that insulting ghosts? We only talked to him; we were already being very restrained by not beating him up."

Gao Qiang and his companion groaned upon hearing her words. Heaven knows he had no ill intentions at all when he wrote it; he simply thought that what they feared most was Qi Yanjiao's family of scum and these unlucky souls who might come knocking on their door at any moment. That's when he had a sudden impulse and wrote that warning.

Who would have thought these ghosts were so sensitive? As soon as they saw the note, they wouldn't let it go, scolding them all morning, determined to get an explanation. It was really worrying!

After listening to Zhen Huijuan's accusations, Ye Wanxi didn't blame them. She simply asked lightly, "How did you get into the room last night? Don't you have any idea?"

I've already been more than generous by not asking you for compensation, and you're still complaining?

Zhen Huijuan was stunned. When she finally realized that the source was herself, she immediately backed down.

Ye Wanxi glanced at these people, and was about to say something when her expression suddenly changed.

A streak of icy blue sword energy flew in from outside, heading straight for the group of little devils gathered together.

Ye Wanxi hurriedly stepped forward to catch the sword energy, shouting at the same time, "Senior Brother, please spare us! This is an ally!"

The next second, Feng Tianyu appeared in front of Ye Wanxi in a flash, startling everyone in the room, including the ghosts.

"How's your hand? Are you hurt?" Feng Tianyu asked anxiously, grabbing the hand Ye Wanxi had used to catch the sword energy.

After examining it carefully and confirming that there wasn't even a scratch the thickness of a hair, he breathed a slight sigh of relief, then feigned anger and said with a slightly darkened expression, "You've grown up, haven't you? Daring to catch sword energy with your bare hands."

"I didn't act rashly," Ye Wanxi chuckled, clinging to Feng Tianyu's arm in an attempt to get away with it. "Besides, I know you wouldn't want to hurt me, Senior Brother. Didn't you disperse the killing intent on your sword energy at the last moment?"

"You can't do that again next time." Who knows if he can control himself next time? If he really hurts her, he'd probably feel like chopping himself up.

Feng Tianyu couldn't bear to vent his anger on Ye Wanxi, so he directed his resentment at Zhen Huijuan and the others: "These ghosts are..."

Feng Tianyu had just returned from abroad. As soon as he got out of the car, he noticed that the house was filled with ghostly energy. This made him think of something bad, and in his concern, he released this sword intent.

"They were victims who were assassinated."

Ye Wanxi briefly recounted the situation of Qi Xiaolian's family. After listening, Feng Tianyu frowned and asked in a low voice, "What are you planning to do?"

"It's not me who's planning what to do, it's them who's planning what to do." Ye Wanxi turned to look at these kids with limited offensive capabilities. "Miss Zhen should have already told you the details. Qi Yanjiao used some tricks to find her innocent cousin to be a scapegoat. I don't care if you want revenge, but if it hurts innocent people, or people I want to protect, then I have no choice but to get involved."

The group exchanged glances and gritted their teeth, saying, "We want revenge, but every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. We want the real culprit to pay the price!"

"But Qi Yanjiao is probably being guarded by some powerful figures right now. If you go there, it will be like walking into a trap."

The others knew this too, but they were still somewhat unwilling: "Then... are we just going to let her go like this?"

"Of course not. Good deeds are rewarded and evil deeds are punished. Even if my friend is willing to let her go, I'm sure you won't be. On this point, I can help you."

Upon hearing Ye Wanxi's words, everyone was taken aback, before a voice finally rang out: "Conditions."

Ye Wanxi looked in the direction of the voice and found a short-haired woman who looked to be around thirty years old and exuded a capable aura. She was wearing a work suit and short skirt.

Ye Wanxi's eyes flickered slightly, and she had already made up her mind: "You are... Miss Fu?"
