Sold for 300, I Fight Back with Superpowers

Su Qing grew wary. ’This familiar aura... it’s somewhat similar to the master from Xiangcheng, yet it also seems different.’

Su Qing couldn’t help but frown slightly. ’Could it be that these Japanese have masters among them too?’

”You’re finally here. We were waiting for you.” Seeing Da Yao and Er Yao arrive, the people at the abandoned factory quickly greeted them. ”Hurry up and load the truck. Once your batch is loaded, you can set off.”

Su Qing saw a green truck parked in the courtyard of the abandoned factory. Inside the truck were numerous cultural relics. A quick count revealed there were over a hundred pieces!

Instantly, a blazing rage ignited in Su Qing’s heart. ’These detestable Japanese... these hundred-plus relics are probably just the tip of the iceberg. Who knows how many priceless treasures they’ve stolen from Hua Country.’

There were four or five people in the courtyard. They helped carefully place the relics brought by Da Yao and Er Yao into the truck, then secured each one. Looking at the truck full of artifacts, Da Yao smiled. ”Lord Qiutian will be very happy when he sees these.”

”These are trivial. The most important things are the traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions and manuscripts. You need to hurry it up.” Just as Da Yao finished speaking, a man in his forties dressed in black walked out of the abandoned factory. He spoke with an arrogant expression, ”You must remember, *those* are the top priority.”

”Lord Ye Yue.” Seeing the man in black, the others all bowed respectfully. They seemed to hold him in high regard, but also with a hint of fear.

Su Qing watched the man in black, lost in thought.

’His surname is Ye Yue, so he’s obviously Japanese. And that somewhat familiar aura...’ Su Qing understood now. ’This man is most likely an Onmyoji from Japan.’

Onmyoji hold a high status in Japan and are figures that all the major families vie to win over. Su Qing didn’t know much about Japanese Onmyoji; this was about the extent of her knowledge.

Ye Yuefeng looked at the men before him with arrogance, glancing disdainfully at the relics in the truck. He had no interest in such things. As a renowned Onmyoji in Japan, he was more focused on how to increase his own power.

To an Onmyoji, power was the most fundamental thing. He didn’t lack money, so he cared little for these worldly possessions. The reason he had come to Hua Country to help escort these relics was that the Qiutian Clan had told him that the traditional Chinese medicinal formulas and manuscripts might contain prescriptions that could enhance his power. If he could find them, it would be easier to find the necessary herbs in Hua Country to prepare them. That was his true purpose for coming here.

However, in his years in Hua Country, he had seen some Chinese medicine formulas, but they were of no use to him. So, he now pinned his hopes on ancient Hua Country prescriptions. The only problem was that these formulas were incredibly hard to find. In all these years, he had only found a few!

”Since the truck is loaded, get going,” Ye Yuefeng said, looking at the men coldly.

”Yes, Lord Ye Yue.” None of them had the guts to defy Ye Yuefeng. After all, his methods were terrifying. He could take a person’s life silently and without a trace, making him impossible to defend against. No matter how good you were at fighting, you couldn’t withstand Ye Yuefeng’s techniques.

”Mm.” Ye Yuefeng gave a faint nod. Just as he was about to turn, his gaze suddenly snapped in Su Qing’s direction, his eyes sharp. ”Who’s there? Show yourself!”

Su Qing raised an eyebrow. ’I haven’t even shown myself, yet he was able to detect my presence. It seems he’s the real deal.’

Hearing Ye Yuefeng’s words, the expressions on Da Yao and Er Yao’s faces changed. ”We were followed?”

’Who could have followed us here so silently?’ The thought made them break out in a cold sweat. ’If their pursuer had attacked them on the way, they probably wouldn’t have even had time to defend themselves!’

’What a close call!’

Ye Yuefeng snorted coldly, looking at the two. ”You two wastes. You were followed all the way here and didn’t even notice!”

Scolded by Ye Yuefeng, Da Yao and Er Yao lowered their heads in shame. ’They wondered when the person started following them, and more importantly, if they knew the location of Young Master Qiutian’s residence. If they did, they had to notify Young Master Qiutian immediately so he could get to safety.’

But with Ye Yuefeng here, they felt confident. Their side held the advantage. Even if many people came, as long as Ye Yuefeng made a move, their opponents wouldn’t be leaving this place alive.

Su Qing didn’t make a move, so Ye Yuefeng sneered. ”My friend, since you’ve followed us all the way here, why don’t you dare show yourself? Hiding and skulking about isn’t exactly an honorable way to do things.”

Su Qing’s eyebrow twitched. ’This Ye Yue is clearly stronger than He Awei, even a bit stronger than the master who killed Jin Zhiwei. But I’m not afraid. Since our paths have crossed today, I might as well test his strength.’

With that thought, Su Qing waved her hand gently. The crawling vines and plants around the abandoned factory began to move, weaving themselves into a hidden net to prevent anyone from escaping. Then, she stepped out openly.

Seeing Su Qing enter alone, not just the other Japanese men, but even Ye Yuefeng was taken aback for a moment. He carefully sensed his surroundings again. There was no one else. In other words, the person who had followed them here today was just this little girl in front of him.

”You’ve got some nerve.” Ye Yuefeng sized Su Qing up. He didn’t sense the aura of a fellow practitioner on her, so he frowned and said, ”A pretty little girl like you, wouldn’t it be better to stay at home? Why insist on running over here to die?”

”Lord Ye Yue, if possible, perhaps we could spare this girl’s life. You know Lord Qiutian’s preferences...”

Seeing Su Qing’s appearance, one of the Japanese men spoke to Ye Yuefeng in Japanese. With Ye Yuefeng present, they had no fear of their identities being exposed in this place. In short, Ye Yuefeng was the source of their confidence.

Su Qing narrowed her eyes at the Japanese man. Although she didn’t understand Japanese, the way he looked her up and down as he spoke was enough to tell her he wasn’t saying anything good.

Ye Yuefeng shot the Japanese man a contemptuous look, cursed inwardly, and then said, ”Fine.”

Then, Ye Yuefeng looked at Su Qing and said, ”Little girl, did you ever consider the consequences of following them here?”

Su Qing smiled faintly. ”And what consequences would those be?”

”Heh.” Ye Yuefeng shook his head and chuckled. ”So naive. Little girl, you should know, once you meddle in certain affairs, the consequences are not something you can necessarily bear!”

’Heh, if she falls into that old geezer Qiutian’s hands, it’ll be a fate worse than death. What a pity for such a pretty little girl.’
