Ye Qiu was slightly taken aback and had no reply.
"You little rascal, I'm not going to talk to you about this now, wait for me a bit."
After Murong Qingcheng finished speaking, she walked step by step to Commander Sun: "Commander Sun, you're not leaving? Do you want to fight me, Murong Qingcheng?"
Commander Sun was visibly nervous facing Murong Qingcheng and took two steps back: "Murong Qingcheng, since Ye Qiu is your junior brother, we will spare him tonight. But remember, it's not that we're afraid of you, but that we don't want to cause a big fuss. Farewell."
After speaking, Commander Sun beckoned his soldiers to leave.
"Commander Sun, you can't leave, you..."
"Commander Sun, you..."
Zhang Dequan and Chen Xiao of the Chen family both wanted to keep Commander Sun to deal with Ye Qiu.
"Shut up, both of you!" Commander Sun roared, intimidating the two men. He continued, "You can decide what you want to do; it's none of my business."
After saying that, he left with his men without hesitation.
Zhang Dequan and Chen Xiao were slightly pale and wanted to leave first as well.
Upon seeing this, Ye Qiu's eyes turned cold, and he instantly caught up with Zhang Dequan and Chen Xiao, knocking them both to the ground.
"Since you're here, then stay."
Ye Qiu looked down at the two of them.
"Ye...Ye Qiu, what do you want?"
Zhang Dequan asked in a trembling voice.
"Who ordered you to attack my Ye family back then? And where is the Eight Desolations Map now?"
Ye Qiu asked in a deep voice.
Zhang Dequan shook his head, somewhat fearfully saying, "I don't know. Back then, we all acted on the orders of the patriarch."
Bang.
Without uttering a single wasted word, Ye Qiu slapped Zhang Dequan on the top of the head.
Zhang Dequan died on the spot, his skull exploded, and his death was gruesome.
"You tell me."
Ye Qiu looked at Chen Xiao of the Chen family.
At this moment, there was a wet patch beneath Chen Xiao; he had wet himself in fear.
Upon hearing Ye Qiu's question, Chen Xiao hurriedly replied, "Young Master Ye, I was only acting on the orders of the family head back then. However, I do know that the events of that year were indeed somewhat related to the prefect. That's all I know."
Bang.
As soon as Chen Xiao finished speaking, Ye Qiu attacked without hesitation and killed him.
He doesn't want to actively eliminate the major families now because he wants to find out what happened back then.
But if anyone dares to come after him, Ye Qiu will kill them without mercy.
“Junior brother, I have secretly investigated the Ye family’s affairs over the years. In addition to the three major families and the prefect’s mansion, there are indeed more mysterious people hiding behind them. Don’t worry about this matter. If you rush, you will only make things worse. We will eventually find out the truth.”
Murong Qingcheng comforted him softly, gently patting Ye Qiu's shoulder.
"Don't worry, Third Senior Sister. It's been so many years, I won't rush things."
Ye Qiu smiled and looked at Murong Qingcheng.
Two years have passed, and my third senior sister has become even more beautiful and charming.
"You little rascal, look at you like you want to devour your third senior sister. Come home with me, and your third senior sister will let you eat her."
Murong Qingcheng blinked her beautiful eyes and gently bit her red lips.
Such actions are extremely alluring.
Zhao Churan grew anxious and hurriedly stepped forward, taking Ye Qiu's arm. She glared at Murong Qingcheng and said seriously, "He is mine."
"Huh?" Murong Qingcheng was taken aback: "Little girl, you dare to say my junior brother is yours? Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"
Even if you kill me, he's still mine, and no one is allowed to take him from me.
Zhao Churan is stubbornly adorable.
"Third Senior Sister, don't scare her. She's timid. Wait for me a moment. I'll go talk to Grandpa Zhao for a bit, and then I'll come with you, okay?"
Ye Qiu looked at Murong Qingcheng.
"Okay, go ahead, I'll wait for you here," Murong Qingcheng said gently.
Aren't you going in?
"No, thank you." Murong Qingcheng said, "Look, the host doesn't even invite me in. How can I be so shameless as to go in by myself? Junior brother, I'm not as shameless as you."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Jian, Zhao Tong, Gao Hongying, and the others all blushed.
Then, Gao Hongying hurriedly said, "Miss Murong, I was so shocked just now that I was momentarily distracted. I'm so sorry. Please come in and sit down."
"No, thank you."
Murong Qingcheng remained expressionless and motionless.
Gao Hongying looked embarrassed and didn't know what to do.
They all knew how terrifying Xueyu Group's influence was in Qianzhou. In just a few years, Xueyu Group's power was no less than that of several top wealthy families in Qianzhou. Its rise was so rapid that it was astonishing.
...
A moment later, Ye Qiu and Zhao Churan returned to the old man's room.
After the series of events that just happened, the old man's opinion of Ye Qiu has undergone another dramatic change.
"Young Master Ye, you don't need to say anything, I already know what you want to ask. You definitely want to know about the Eight Desolations Map from back then, right?"
Old Master Zhao stared at Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu nodded and said in a deep voice, "Grandpa, five years ago, my family was wiped out, and hundreds of people were implicated and killed. Such a blood feud cannot go unavenged. I hope you can tell me what you know."
“That’s natural,” said Old Master Zhao. “Back then, when I learned that the Ye family was going to auction the Eight Desolations Map, I also wanted to bid. Before that, I learned from a special channel that the Eight Desolations Map might contain the secret to immortality. But I was attacked as soon as I got to the door, and five years passed. I don’t know anything more about it now.”
"What special channel?" Ye Qiu asked hurriedly.
"Shadow Gate, a mysterious underground intelligence organization."
"Alright, thank you very much, sir. Please take good care of yourself. I'll take my leave now."
Ye Qiu stood up and was about to leave.
"Brother Ye Qiu, I...I want to go with you."
