Urban Martial Saint

”Zhou Laosan, since you’ve stopped them, then I won’t go out!” At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded within the manor: ”Bring them all in, I want to see who is bold enough to cause trouble outside our Seven Rudders’ manor of the Hong Alliance!”

Zhou Chengtian and Bai Qingming exchanged a glance and simultaneously turned to walk out. There was no way to negotiate with Huangfu Ziyu now, and they had already decided to let their family elders come and deal with Ye Qing, to eliminate this threat to their hearts.

However, Huangfu Ziyu was not as curious as the two of them. Seeing Ye Qing so injured, she had no mind to care about other matters. She hurriedly took Ye Qing into the living room. Seeing Huangfu Zilong and her sister about to go out, she immediately said in a deep voice: ”What are you two doing?”

”Sister, someone intruded into our manor outside, we’re going out to take a look.” Huangfu Zilong replied.

”Can’t you two be more considerate?” Huangfu Ziyu said sternly: ”What does what happens outside have to do with you? Come over here and help me take him to the bedroom!”

Huangfu Ziyu had absolute authority over this younger brother and sister. Although Huangfu Zilong was unwilling at heart, he had no choice but to agree and came over to help Huangfu Ziyu support Ye Qing.

”Sister, which room are we going to?” Huangfu Zilong asked: ”The other rooms haven’t been tidied up yet.”

”My room.” Huangfu Ziyu responded bluntly.

”Ah?” Huangfu Zilong was taken aback, and the sister’s eyes widened in surprise: ”Sister, you... you’re letting a man into your room?”

The two of them had known Huangfu Ziyu for a while, and during this time it was clear that people from the Seven Families took turns offering courtship to Huangfu Ziyu, but she hadn’t paid any attention to them. So in their hearts, Huangfu Ziyu was pure and noble, and the man who could move her was very rare. But who could have imagined that this suddenly appeared man would be brought into her room by Huangfu Ziyu, what kind of concept was this?

”So what?” Huangfu Ziyu glanced at her and said: ”Zi Shan, Zi Long, remember. His name is Ye Qing, he is my husband, your brother-in-law, understand?”

”He... he’s Ye Qing?” The two had vaguely heard of Ye Qing’s name, but did not expect to meet him like this. Actually, in their hearts, they always thought that the man who could captivate Huangfu Ziyu must be the most outstanding man under the sky. Handsome, with extraordinary martial arts, unparalleled in the world, but now seeing everything about Ye Qing, it was completely different from what they imagined.

Ye Qing’s appearance aside, with resolute features and defined angles, wasn’t bad, but definitely not considered handsome. As for martial arts, hmph, seeing Ye Qing’s injured state now, they actually had no good impression of him. If he truly had formidable martial arts, how could he be so injured? He still needed Huangfu Ziyu to support him, is this even a man?

”What’s wrong with that?” Huangfu Ziyu ignored their shock, while helping Ye Qing into the room, she urged: ”Zi Shan, go bring the Ziyu Chenxiang Pill. Your brother-in-law doesn’t even know what kind of injury he has, we must help him stop the bleeding first!”

”Sister, we... we only have three Ziyu Chenxiang Pills left...” Huangfu Zilong said urgently: ”Uncle said before he left that the Ziyu Chenxiang Pill is for saving our lives when we enter the Great Tomb. For the three of us, one each, how... how can we give it to an outsider?”

”He’s your brother-in-law, how can you call him an outsider!” Huangfu Ziyu glared and said sternly: ”Moreover, I didn’t say to use yours, give him mine!”

”Sister, that’s not what I meant, I just think, this...” Huangfu Zilong scratched his head in anxiety, actually dissatisfied with Ye Qing deep down, hence why he didn’t want to save him. However, he couldn’t say that outright, seeing Huangfu Ziyu’s attitude toward Ye Qing, speaking out would certainly make him face her ire.

”Stop the nonsense, quickly bring the medicine over!” Huangfu Ziyu ordered sternly and was about to help Ye Qing into the inner room when a voice suddenly came from the yard: ”Is Niece Huangfu here?”

Hearing this voice, Huangfu Ziyu immediately frowned, turned her head to look outside, and at this moment, there were already a dozen people standing in the yard. Leading them were two men in their fifties, each holding someone in their hands, it was the Left Protector and Cui Yulong.

”It’s Zhou Junhan and Bai Wenhao!” Huangfu Zilong gasped, turned his head to look at Huangfu Ziyu, and said in a low voice: ”Sister, these two are top-level masters from the Zhou and Bai families, it’s said their strength is comparable to Ao Wuchang from Shu. They... might be here to cause trouble?”

”Shut up!” Huangfu Ziyu glared at him and said sternly: ”First arrange your brother-in-law in the room, Zi Shan, give the Ziyu Chenxiang Pill to your brother-in-law. I’ll handle the matters outside, you two don’t come out!”

After speaking, Huangfu Ziyu gave Ye Qing a deep look. She was actually very worried about Ye Qing. However, now that two elder-level figures had arrived, it would be too disrespectful if she didn’t go out.

Huangfu Ziyu entrusted Ye Qing to Huangfu Zilong and walked straight out herself. Glancing at the Left Protector and Cui Yulong, she slightly furrowed her brow. She didn’t know the Left Protector, but she did recognize Cui Yulong and naturally knew the relationship between Cui Yulong and Ye Qing. In this way, Ye Qing’s business here was undoubtedly related to the two of them.

”Uncle Zhou, Uncle Bai, is there something you need here?” Huangfu Ziyu asked directly, not bothering with pleasantries. Ye Qing still didn’t know what was happening, and she just wanted to get rid of these people quickly.

”It is indeed a small matter.” Zhou Junhan smiled and said, ”Niece Huangfu, we just caught two people outside attempting to spy on our manor. Moreover, these two are from the Sha Men, probably sent by the Bloody Monk to gather intelligence on us. It seems those evil demons are starting to target us, so our Seven Families must pay extra attention and be sure not to let outsiders disrupt our years of planning!”

Huangfu Ziyu’s brow furrowed slightly, saying, ”Uncle Zhou, you can handle these things yourself, there’s no need to report to me. We’re just here to help open the Great Tomb, and the rest has nothing to do with us!”

”Niece Huangfu is also a member of our Seven Families; the honor and disgrace of the Seven Families are shared. How can you say it’s unrelated?” Zhou Junhan laughed. ”Moreover, I just heard that it’s not only those two, but there’s another person who seems to have ended up in your courtyard, Niece Huangfu. Is there such a matter?”

Huangfu Ziyu’s face turned cold as she glanced at Zhou Chengtian behind Zhou Junhan. It was obvious that Zhou Chengtian had gone out and tattled.

”There is indeed such a matter!” Huangfu Ziyu declared loudly, ”However, he is certainly not someone plotting against our Seven Steering Committees of Hong Alliance because he is my husband!”

Huangfu Ziyu spoke these words in front of everyone to protect Ye Qing and also declare to the world her relationship with Ye Qing. These words made Zhou Chengtian and Bai Qingming’s expressions change drastically, as envy burned in their eyes.

”How come I’ve never heard that you have a husband, Niece Huangfu?” Zhou Junhan smiled and said, ”Besides, your marriage has already been arranged with my nephew, which was agreed upon by my elder brother and Huangfu’s elder brother. Marriage is ordained by parents and arranged by matchmakers; since the parents have decided, it is a legitimate marriage. Niece Huangfu, don’t be deceived and ruin your life!”

”I make my own decisions!” Huangfu Ziyu declared loudly, ”If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving now!”

Zhou Junhan’s face turned cold. He had intended to use his elder status to warn Huangfu Ziyu, but he didn’t expect Huangfu Ziyu to be so stubborn, giving him no face at all, which made him extremely angry.

”Wait a moment!” Zhou Junhan directly blocked Huangfu Ziyu, saying, ”Niece Huangfu, we certainly don’t dictate your affairs. But when it involves the Seven Steering Committees of Hong Alliance, it’s not something you can do as you please. The person you’re hiding may very well be a spy for the Bloody Monk, and we must investigate thoroughly. Otherwise, if it disrupts our major plans, Niece Huangfu, I’m afraid you won’t be able to explain to everyone!”

”I have no intention of explaining anything to anyone!” Huangfu Ziyu said coldly, ”I’ve said he is my husband and has nothing to do with Sha Men. Believe it or not, if you want to investigate, go ahead and investigate elsewhere. I won’t be accompanying you!”

”Huangfu Ziyu, how dare you!” The man beside Zhou Junhan couldn’t hold back anymore and angrily said, ”Is this how you talk to your elders?”

This man was Bai Wenhao, a senior of the Bai Family, whose strength was about the same as Zhou Junhan, and he was considered a leading figure among them.

”Elders?” Huangfu Ziyu looked at Bai Wenhao, saying in a deep voice, ”What right do you have to count as my elders!”

Huangfu Ziyu spoke these words through clenched teeth with a force that left no room for these people to save face.

”You insolent wretch with no respect for your seniors!” Bai Wenhao shouted angrily, ”Even if your father were alive, he would only be considered our equal. As a junior, your disrespect might be disregarded, but how dare you insult us with your words? Do you really think you can act recklessly just because you’re young and ignorant?”

”Reckless is not the right term, but I certainly won’t participate in bullying an orphan!” Huangfu Ziyu said coldly, ”When my Huangfu Household was down, I never saw any senior stand up. I, Huangfu Ziyu, was born and bred by nature, and I don’t understand what respecting the elderly means. So I urge you not to disgrace yourselves!”
