Chapter 49: Go back, fatty! (Second update)
Zhuge Mingyue wanted to tell Wan Xi Chen about the people who were chasing and killing Luo Xiao.
Wan Xi Zhen's face also changed after hearing all of this.
"In short, be careful for now. Don't make any moves yet. Let's wait and ask Lin Yuhanshan to find out who is behind the pursuit of Luo Xiao before we do anything." Zhuge Mingyue reminded again and again.
"I understand." Wan Xi Chen and his group all nodded in agreement.
"That fatty, is your family's crisis over this time? When are you coming to the academy?" asked Zhuge Mingyue.
"In a few days, when the craftsmen sent by Master Lin take over the construction, I can go to the academy." Wan Xi Chen said with a smile, "This time is good. Grandfather and others don't have to worry either."
"Are the Pong and Wu families joining forces to attack you? I heard that they are going to form an alliance through marriage?" asked Zhuge Mingyue.
Wan Qi Chen's smile on his face stagnated, and he frowned: "Yes. This difficult pass is over, but there are still busy things behind." After finishing, Wan Qi Chen clenched his fist again and shouted, "But I'm afraid of them? Come on!"
"If you need help, just say so." said Zhuge Mingyue.
"En, Mingyue, thank you so much this time. But I'm really curious how you managed to move Lin Yucan." Wan Qi Chenxing looked at Zhuge Mingyue with starry eyes full of admiration.
"Because I saved him before, and he promised me that if I ever need help in the future, as long as it's within his capabilities, he'll definitely help me." Zhuge Mingyue explained.
"I see." Wan Xi Chen nodded vigorously and then leaned in closer, "I am deeply grateful for Miss Ming Yue's great kindness... I have no way to repay..."
Wan Xi Chen hadn't even finished shouting when he was grabbed by the collar by Ling Fei Yang, who directly threw him out: "Go back, fatty. Quickly settle your family affairs, if you need help with anything come find us again."
Wan Xi Chen fell to the ground, grumbled and got up, rubbed his sore butt, greeted everyone, and left. He indeed had a lot of things to attend to. Xue Zi Hao naturally stayed behind to teach Duan Mu Xuan archery skills, and also stayed for dinner, which he unapologetically claimed was his wages for the evening.
A few days later, a group of craftsmen from the Lin family's merchant association in Donghuacheng arrived at Cangfeng City and officially took up residence in the Wan Qi family's forging workshop to start working on the imperial order for military armor. After some time passed, the craftsmen summoned by Lin Yuhans from the capital also arrived and began to intensify their work on the armor.
The first batch of orders with the military procurement office was finally delivered on schedule, and the Wan family finally let out a long sigh of relief.
The joint attack by the Pang and Wu families is still ongoing, while the Wanqi family is responding with all its might. The struggle between the three families is becoming increasingly intense.
This weekend, Wan Qi Jingde brought Wan Qi Yishan and Wan Qi Chen to personally visit Xue Mingyue to thank her. In addition to many gifts, Wan Qi Jingde also sincerely apologized, hoping that Xue Mingyue would not mind his previous attitude.
"Miss Zhuge, please accept my apologies. Forgive me for my rudeness at that time." Wan Jiede's attitude was very sincere.
"Old master, I didn't mind either." Zhuge Mingyue smiled, "Although Lin's Chamber of Commerce has solved your current problem, the Pang and Wu families, I heard from Wan Qi Chen that they have made more moves."
"Yes." Wan Jiede furrowed his brow, somewhat annoyed, "These two families have been causing us a lot of trouble lately. However, we haven't let them off easy either."
"Miss Zhuge, if you don't mind, please come back to the manor with us. I've ordered a banquet to be set up." Wan Jiede was somewhat nervous, he didn't dare confirm whether Zhuge Mingyue would agree or not. After all, he had treated her that way before. Wan Chen also looked at Zhuge Mingyue with eager eyes.
Zhuge Mingyue smiled and stood up: "Since you're so enthusiastic, old man, how can I disappoint you?"
Wan Ji finally put his mind at ease and stood up: "The carriage is outside. Miss Zhuge, please."
In the courtyard, Zhuge Mingyue shouted towards the neighboring courtyard: "Feiyang, come and have dinner."
The next moment, under the astonished eyes of Wan Ji Jingde and Wan Ji Yishan, Ling Feiyang jumped over the wall with a flourish and stood in front of them.
This time, Wan Jiede learned his lesson. He understood that if he wanted Ling Feiyang to have a good attitude towards him, he had to have a good attitude towards Zhuge Mingyue. So, Wan Jiede smiled and invited Zhuge Mingyue into the carriage. Ling Feiyang followed behind without saying a word.
Two horse-drawn carriages slowly drove away from Zhuge Mingyue's home and headed towards the Wan Qi family.
"The bright moon, this old man's smile is as fake as a chrysanthemum. Anyway, it doesn't look good." Ling Feiyang and Zhuge Mingyue sat in a horse carriage, whispering to each other.
"He's Grandpa Paozi, and since he's as big as a pancake, I won't bother with him," said Zhuge Mingyue with a smile.
"Big face, haha, indeed, the fat man's face is big enough..." Ling Feiyang was laughing, but suddenly his expression changed. As a Grandmaster swordsman, he immediately sensed the sonic boom outside.
The next moment, the sound of clanging metal rang out continuously. Some sharp objects were hanging from the top of the carriage. Before the people inside the carriage could react, a loud crashing sound pierced their ears. Several iron hooks had been hung from the top of the carriage, and the other end of the hooks was a long iron chain held by some masked men in black clothes. They used all their strength to pull the top of the carriage off, immediately exposing the people inside. Zhuge Mingyue discovered that the carriage they were riding in had entered a somewhat secluded alley.
There is an ambush!
Ling Feiyang immediately drew his sword and shielded Zhuge Mingyue.
The horse-drawn carriage in front also encountered such a situation.
The situation was critical for a moment.
Whooshing sounds of piercing through the air rang out. Countless arrows, like rain, densely shot towards the people on the two horse-drawn carriages.
The Wan Ji Zong De in front was shocked and covered in cold sweat, drawing his sword to block the arrow shafts, worrying about the situation of the horse carriage behind. Ling Fei Yang and Zhuge Ming Yue were sitting on it. If Ling Fei Yang was implicated because of the Wan family's troubles, he would be hard-pressed to avoid blame. And although Zhuge Ming Yue was a private daughter of the Zhuge family, she was still a member of the Zhuge family. If these two people were also implicated in the Wan family's troubles at the same time, then the Wan family's hundred-year legacy would truly come to an end here.
He looked back and saw the situation on that side, and his heart slightly put down. Ling Feiyang was indeed a great swordsman of the Earth level, with a powerful white light flashing, the giant sword in his hand seemed to be flowing like a stream, knocking down all the arrows shot towards them.
Zhuge Mingyue hid behind Ling Feiyang and quickly summoned a hurricane. As soon as the hurricane appeared, it transformed into an illusory shadow that attacked the people hiding in ambush. Cries of pain rang out, piercing the eardrums with their intensity.
Just as Wan Jiede put down his heart, a swift and fierce voice came from the air. An arrow shot out from the dark, rushing towards Wan Zhicheng like a meteor. Wan Jiede was greatly shocked and swung his sword with all his might to block the arrow. However, another arrow also flew swiftly towards Zhuo Mingyue's direction.
Ling Feiyang's body sank slightly, and he swung his sword upwards. However, just as the giant sword was about to touch the arrow, the arrow suddenly turned a corner and stabbed straight at Zhuge Mingyue's back!
Soul-level archer!
There are actually soul-level archers ambushing them! This kind of arrow technique that can change and become unpredictable is the Soul Guiding Arrow, which is unique to Soul Archers. Through the Soul Guidance, it changes the trajectory of the arrow mid-flight, making it impossible to defend against.
Ling Feiyang was shocked, and he immediately hugged Zhuge Mingyue, ready to take the arrow for her. At this time, Wan Jiede had already deflected the arrow that was attacking Wan Jiede, turned his head and saw the danger on their side, cold sweat instantly wetting his back.
It's done!
A sense of despair rose up in Wan Jiede's heart.
He can't make it in time to rescue him now.
The wind leopard had already sensed its master's danger at this time, transformed into a virtual shadow, and rushed straight to Ling Feiyang and Zhuge Mingyue.
The arrow did not shoot at the hurricane, nor did it shoot at Ling Fei Yang, but suddenly stopped in mid-air. The arrow was gently grasped in someone's hand and then turned into powder...
Time seems to have stood still at this moment.
Everyone's eyes were focused on that hand.
"Master!" Ling Feiyang exclaimed in surprise.
Everyone, including Wan Xi and Jing De, looked at the old man with a mixture of shock and awe. The move he had just revealed was truly stunning. What kind of terrifying level was this person's strength at?
