Chapter 224 Special Gift—Black Lacquer Coffin!
Zuo Muge's face looked extremely embarrassed.
He had promised Ye Mu that with the arrival of his family's number one bodyguard, Long Yi, he would not be afraid of the massacre.
However, Long Yi said he couldn't help, this...
"Third Young Master, please don't worry too much."
Long Yi noticed the change in Zuo Muge's expression and nodded with a smile, "Actually, this is good news."
"Good news?"
Zuo Muge was becoming more and more confused.
"Please don't worry, Third Young Master."
Long Yi's eyes sparkled, and he had an expression of immortality. "The so-called good news is that Tu Lu will not be coming to Jiangzhou."
"The massacre won't come to Jiangzhou anymore?"
Zuo Muge was startled when he heard this, then burst into joy. "Grandpa Long Yi, are you serious? How did you find out?"
"This time I arrived in Jiangzhou by plane. When I entered Jiangzhou, I happened to encounter Tu Lu who arrived by train." Long Yi said word by word.
"And then?" Zuo Muge was looking forward to the result.
"When Tu Lu and I reach our level, it's hard to find an opponent in the secular world. He knows that the outcome of opposing me is a 50-50 chance at best, so I advised him to leave Jiangzhou." Long Yi said truthfully.
"Not right, not right."
Zuo Muge shook his head after hearing this. "This massacre was only carried out because of you. But who knows when he will come back? Wouldn't that always be a potential threat to my friends? It's inappropriate."
"Don't worry, Third Young Master. He has more urgent things to do now. He has already set off for the imperial capital and plans to stay in Wuyang Temple for a while to study Buddhism." Long Yi explained.
"Oh, I see." Zuo Muge gradually felt relieved.
"That's right."
Long Yi did not deny it. "I just told him in all fairness that at the late Dan Jin stage, fighting and killing in the secular world has no real meaning. It is better to improve your own realm."
"So that's how it is." Zuo Muge understood.
"However, he also has a request."
Long Yi looked at the distant sky. "He hopes that Ye Mu, the culprit who caused the destruction of his Valley of Despair, will take the initiative to go to Wuyang Temple to apologize within two months, regardless of life or death. Otherwise, he will massacre the entire Luo family."
"He dares!"
Zuo Muge glared.
"Third Young Master, you really dare to kill this man."
Long Yimian smiled bitterly, "Even if I go to intercept him myself, the odds of winning or losing are still fifty-fifty. I can help the Third Young Master protect Ye Mu for a while, but I can't protect him forever."
"Two months should be enough for Ye Mu."
Zuo Muge paused and recounted how Ye Mu encountered a powerful enemy, the ancestor of the Shen family, last night, and how his strength suddenly increased and he turned defeat into victory.
"This boy is young and promising. He is indeed a rare genius in the world." Long Yi also had a very high opinion of Ye Mu.
"Well, I'll inform Ye Mu about this later."
Zuo Muge pursed his lips and said, "Grandpa Long Yi, let's go inside and rest first. And tell me about what happened in the imperial capital recently."
"Third Young Master, some things have indeed happened in the imperial capital recently. Let's talk about it on the way." Long Yi had no intention of entering the living room and waved his hand to point outside the door.
"Chat on the way? Where to?" Zuo Muge was puzzled.
"Return to the imperial capital." Long Yidao said.
"Return to the imperial capital? Is this... what grandpa meant?" Zuo Muge's face looked a little gloomy.
Long nodded and said, "Actually, it is also related to the events that happened in the imperial capital. Please pack your bags, Third Young Master. I will wait outside the door."
Zuo Muge felt a little helpless, but he didn't dare to refuse his grandfather's order.
"Third Young Master, the old man asked you to take her with you." Long Yi pointed at Ling Mengyao, then nodded and waited outside the door.
Zuo Muge instantly looked at Ling Mengyao.
The two looked at each other, then walked into the living room hand in hand.
"Mengyao, Grandpa wants to see you for two reasons."
Zuo Muge supported Ling Mengyao's shoulders. "First, he knew you were managing a multi-billion dollar consortium for me and wanted to know more. Second, there will be a family feud soon, so he wanted us to get married and have children."
"What if it's the third possibility?" Ling Mengyao's face turned pale.
"Let me go. You are the only woman in my life. No matter what happens, I will stand by your side." Zuo Muge showed the responsibility that a man should have.
"Yeah!" Ling Mengyao was full of confidence.
"You go pack your things, I'll call Ye Mu." Zuo Muge had to inform Ye Mu about the massacre as soon as possible.
The call is connected.
Ye Mu was outside choosing a gift for Liu Xinghai. "Brother Zuo, there's still an hour until the cocktail party at noon. Do you want to join us later?"
"Brother Ye, things have changed. There is good news and bad news. Let's make it short."
Zuo Muge said bluntly, "The good news is that Tu Lu didn't come to Jiangzhou, but went to the imperial capital. The bad news is that Tu Lu wants you to go to Wuyang Temple in the imperial capital within two months to apologize for your crime, whether alive or dead. You will bear the consequences at your own risk. If you don't go, he will massacre the entire Luo family to bury you with him. That's it."
"Are you sure?" Ye Mu raised his eyebrows when he heard that.
"I'm very sure. Besides, my family needs me to go back for something, so I can't stay in Jiangzhou. I have to return to the imperial capital immediately. I don't know when we will meet next time. Take care." Zuo Muge said sincerely.
"In that case, I won't try to keep you. Let me put it this way. I will finish the trivial matters at hand as soon as possible, and then go to the imperial capital. First, I will solve the worry about Tu Lu, and second, I will go to your Zuo family. I hope I can lend you a hand." Ye Mu said sincerely.
"Brother Ye, I'm not in a hurry. I strongly suggest that you come back before the end of the two-month deadline. That way you can better consolidate and improve your strength. Otherwise..." Zuo Muge didn't say those discouraging words.
"I understand."
Ye Mu knew that it was very important to improve his own strength, otherwise there would be countless powerful enemies in the future. If he didn't work hard, no one could help him change the facts.
"Then I can only wish you a good time at the cocktail party this afternoon. It's a pity that I can't see Liu Xinghai get humiliated in person. Remember to send me a message so that I can be happy with you too." Zuo Muge didn't say anything else.
"It's a deal."
Ye Mu chatted with Zuo Muge about Liu Xinghai again, and then they hung up the phone.
"Two months?"
Ye Mu recalled Zuo Muge’s words in his mind.
"That Tu Lu guy is really strong. They made such a big mistake, and yet they let me take the blame?" Ye Mu smiled bitterly. Perhaps this is what the strong call self-righteousness.
However, he still attracted attention. If he did not go and apologize within two months, Tu Lu would massacre the entire Luo family... By then, he would decisively tell Tu Lu that this was wishful thinking!
Now, he really had no confidence in defeating Slaughter, but two months later, that would be different.
Half an hour later.
Triangle Bay Hotel, Dongcheng District.
In order to trick Ye Mu, Liu Xinghai canceled the originally customized Northern Region Chamber of Commerce and changed it into a birthday cocktail party.
At this time, families of all sizes in Jiangzhou City came one after another.
Because apart from the three existing families, the Yang family, the Han family, and the Jiang family, no one knew that Liu Xinghai and Ye Mu had a grudge.
These people were forced to come to the reception due to the power of the Liu family in the imperial capital, and all of them brought valuable gifts with them.
"The Wu family sent a gift, a golden toad, to congratulate Young Master Liu on his feet, and wishing him a hundred years of eternal life!"
"The Shu family sent a gift, a golden bull, to congratulate Young Master Liu on his great success and prosperity!"
"The Yao family sent a gift, a Fu Lu Shou longevity peach, to congratulate Liu Shaoru on entering the East China Sea and living as long as the Southern Mountains!"
In the huge restaurant, gifts and congratulatory messages from various families could be heard from time to time, making Liu Xinghai, who was sitting in the first seat, very happy.
What made him happy was not the value of the gifts, but the fact that these people were trying so hard to give him face.
"The Luo family sent a gift, a black lacquered coffin, to congratulate Liu Xinghai on his passing and his early ascent to heaven!"
Suddenly, words that shocked and left everyone present speechless resounded in the restaurant.
It was clearly visible that Yang Zhenjiang, Jiang Hongbo, Han Zhengyang, from one of the three major families in Jiangzhou, and Chu Changhe, who claimed to be a master of traditional Chinese medicine, carried a black lacquered coffin and walked into the restaurant.
Behind them was a burly man with sharp features, it was Ye Mu!
