Ying Zijin, the former big man, woke up and became the youngest daughter of the Ying family who had been missing for 15 years, and decisively adopted a child to replace her.
After returning, ...
Chapter 374 Fu Yunshen: What evidence do I need? [2 updates]
Only the head of the family could give such an order for the captain of the family guard to personally take action.
The mastermind behind this was the head of the Yu family.
Nie Yi knew that Ying Zijin was highly skilled in medicine, so after obtaining the information, he went to the ancient martial arts world first.
Old Master Nie gripped the armrest of his chair tightly and recounted what had happened that day, saying in a deep voice, "This matter is also inextricably linked to the Lin family!"
What a coincidence, just as Steward Lin came by, Nie Chao was injured by the Yu family.
"The Lin family." Fu Yunshen hadn't expected this. He narrowed his peach blossom eyes slightly. "It's the Lin family again."
The Lin family is one of the three major families in the ancient martial arts world, surpassing the Ling family and far superior to the Yu family.
Let alone families like the Nie and Mu, even the other two major families in the ancient martial arts world wouldn't go head-to-head with the Lin family.
In particular, the Lin family produced a Lin Qingjia.
Therefore, within the ancient martial arts world, the Lin family has the best relationship with those ancient medical families.
The Lin family was the most prominent, and the other two families had to avoid their sharp edge.
"Go to the Yu family first, then the Lin family." Fu Yunshen didn't smoke, but he lit one.
The firelight reflected in his light amber pupils, cool and refreshing.
He said calmly, "Investigate further and find out who else is involved in this matter. Don't let any of them get away with it."
Fu Yunshen could guess that the Yu family was after that medicine, or more precisely, Ying Zijin.
The Lin family was cunning; instead of taking action themselves, they leaked the information to their affiliated families.
Whether it was injuring Nie Chao or targeting Ying Zijing, it was his bottom line.
Grandpa Nie shook his head, looking dejected: "But we have no evidence."
Upon hearing this, Fu Yunshen chuckled softly.
He stubbed out the cigarette he had just lit and said casually, "What evidence do I need?"
Upon hearing this, Old Master Nie was visibly shaken: "You..."
good.
In the world of ancient martial arts, strength is the only proof.
"The ancient martial arts world operates according to its own rules." Fu Yunshen smiled, his voice as gentle as ever. "Anyone who hurts my brother will pay the price."
There are many conflicts in the ancient martial arts world. There are life-or-death battles every day, and families are wiped out every month. Deaths are a very normal thing.
Sometimes, the friction between large families is even more brutal than ancient wars.
It is precisely because of this environment that most ancient martial arts practitioners developed a ruthless and arrogant nature.
In the eyes of many ancient martial arts practitioners, life is worthless.
Grandpa Nie was also relieved that Nie Yi had been in the ancient martial arts world for so long, and his personality hadn't gone astray.
Ying Zijing rested for a few minutes, then stood up and said, "Let's go together."
"Yaoyao, listen to me, you're exhausted, just stay here." Fu Yunshen's eyes darkened. "I'll handle this."
"I don't fight," Ying Zijing said calmly. "I'll bring them medicine."
Fu Yunshen paused for a moment, realizing what she was thinking.
He stroked her head, his eyes tender: "Then let's go together."
**
The world of ancient martial arts.
The Yu family.
"Master," the middle-aged man knelt on one knee, very respectfully, "the matter you instructed has been completed, but an accident occurred during the blood collection process."
He recounted how he had made a mistake.
Upon hearing this, the head of the Yu family frowned, but quickly relaxed and waved his hand dismissively: "It's a small matter, don't worry about it. I'll have someone send the blood for research in a bit."
The middle-aged man bowed again before leaving.
Although he accidentally crippled Nie Chao, he didn't forget to take his blood.
If we can figure out the ingredients of the pill Nie Chao took, the Yu family's strength will also increase.
After the middle-aged man left, the head of the Yu family scoffed.
Even though the Yu family is far inferior to the Lin family, it is still a family with more than a hundred people. Including retainers and guards, the number of people exceeds five hundred.
Apart from some young children and women, the rest of the people were ancient martial arts practitioners.
The Yu family elder with the highest cultivation level has been cultivating for eighty years.
The Nie family is a business family, a secular family. How can they compare to Nie Yi, who is just one person?
No matter how good Nie Yi's ancient martial arts talent is, or how talented he is, it is impossible for him to break into the Yu family alone to seek revenge.
If Nie Yi arrives, he wouldn't mind keeping Nie Yi here as well.
The head of the Yu family didn't take the matter to heart at all. After drinking a cup of tea, he prepared to go and rest.
But just then, a retainer rushed in and knelt down with a thud: "Master, something's happened! Someone's broken in!"
The Yu family patriarch's hand trembled, and his expression changed: "What did you say?!"
"It's Nie Yi!" the retainer exclaimed, his voice trembling. "Nie Yi has broken in!"
Upon hearing the name, the Yu family patriarch calmed down: "Who do you think it is? Him? Send a few guard captains over."
Nie Yi is twenty-seven years old this year. He came to the ancient martial arts world at the age of seven and has cultivated internal strength for twenty years.
But there's no way he could possibly defeat several guard captains by himself.
"No...it's not just him!" The retainer's teeth were chattering. "Master, you should go out and take a look."
The head of the Yu family was very impatient: "Even if it's not just Nie Yi, but also the other members of the Nie family, what could possibly happen?"
Do they really think they can touch the Yu family?
Innocent.
But after thinking about it, he still went out.
**
Outside.
The Yu family's guards were all lying on the ground.
The middle-aged man knelt on the ground, trembling, staring in disbelief at the man in the black trench coat.
Nie Yi, when did you meet such a powerful ancient martial arts master?
But clearly, this man is only in his early twenties!
How high can one's skill level in ancient martial arts be?
However, he was powerless to resist this man and could not even withstand a single move.
"Your Excellency... what do you mean by this?" The middle-aged man was utterly incredulous, his voice laced with bravado, "Why did you injure my Yu family guards?!"
Fu Yunshen's gaze was indifferent: "It's you, isn't it?"
The middle-aged man stiffened, but he stubbornly insisted, "What evidence do you have, sir?"
How long has it been?
At most six hours.
They had clearly erased all traces, so how did the Nie family manage to track them down?
No, the most important thing is, who exactly is this man?
Fu Yunshen smiled and said, "I don't need evidence."
These six words sent a chill down the spine of middle-aged people.
Just when he was on the verge of a nervous breakdown, Fu Yunshen loosened his control over him.
The middle-aged man was overjoyed and turned to run away.
But just then—
"Click".
"Crack! Crack!"
A sound like bones breaking could be heard.
In just a second, both legs were broken.
The middle-aged man was utterly shocked, his face turned deathly pale, and he was in excruciating pain.
Internal energy transmitted through space?!
Even the elders of the Yu family couldn't pull off this technique.
The middle-aged man's teeth chattered: "You..."
Fu Yunshen ignored him.
He turned around, and the icy aura around him dissipated. He beckoned, "Yaoyao, come here."
Ying Zijing carried a small box and walked over.
The middle-aged man was still in extreme pain and was almost fainting from the pain.
His mind was foggy and his ears were ringing, until he heard a sentence.
"You want my medicine?" Ying Zijing squatted down and smiled gently. "Perfect, I brought it with me. You can take as much as you want."
The middle-aged man's face immediately changed: "You, you..."
Although Ying Zijin disguised herself, she did not disguise herself as an older person.
Ancient medicine can preserve youth, but it's not a miracle cure; there are always limitations.
The middle-aged man thought that the ancient doctor who could refine such a medicine must be at least a hundred years old.
Even if a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner of this age could preserve their youthful appearance, they could at most keep their looks and voice at the age of twenty-five.
But the girl is clearly not even twenty years old!
What kind of powerful ancient medicine is this?
Unheard of!
Ying Zijing put on gloves and opened the suitcase she was carrying.
The room was filled with bottles and jars, a dazzling array of items.
Ying Zijing's gaze swept over all the bottles and jars. She raised her hand, picked up a white jade bottle, and uncorked it.
Then she looked up, smiled again, and said softly, "How about I feed you?"
The middle-aged man felt his scalp tingle, as if it were about to explode: "No...no!"
He didn't even need to guess; he knew that the bottle contained something bad.
Although ancient doctors are not strong in martial arts, they have many methods that can make ancient martial artists wish they were dead.
The middle-aged man wanted to turn around and run away, but his legs had been broken by Fu Yunshen, and he didn't even have the ability to stand up.
He looked at the girl, almost in despair: "No, I don't want to eat!"
However, no matter how hard he struggled, it was all in vain.
Amid the horrified gaze of the middle-aged man, Ying Zijing remained indifferent, her eyes as cold as blades.
She used force with her hands, and with a "crack," she forcibly pried open his jaw, essentially breaking his bones.
I just remembered something very important.
Nie Chao (pronounced zhao, first tone)
I heard that if you hang a sock by your bed, you'll receive lots of gifts tomorrow?
Everyone can save up their votes at the end of the month and vote again on the 29th when it's doubled, so please give me a five-star rating!
