Ch 11: My Young Miss is Rich
After a moment of stunned silence, Over the Mountain Wind let out a cold laugh, “You want me to be your slave? Fine, as long as you don’t break us up and don’t touch my brothers. My life, from now on, is yours.”
“Okay.”
Zheng Renjie agreed immediately, never once looking at the woman. He was completely acting as if beautiful women were just fleeting clouds.
Over the Mountain Wind immediately knelt on one knee, his voice rough, “From now on, if Young Master has any orders, I, Over the Mountain Wind, will go through fire and water without hesitation.”
Zheng Renjie revealed a satisfied smile, saying, “Remember your words. Tomorrow morning, bring your men and wait for me outside the marsh.”
After saying that, he vanished from the spot with a whoosh.
Gu Yang once again felt a shadow flash past him. He turned his head to look, only to see a white figure fly over the courtyard wall and disappear.
“Sixth-Rank—”
Such lightness skill could only be possessed by martial artists above the Sixth-Rank.
At such a young age, to have such cultivation. And with the surname Zheng, he was very likely the Zheng family member he had once relied on in previous simulations.
Gu Yang thought about Zheng Renjie’s behavior just now, and his impression of the so-called aristocratic families was extremely poor.
With a single phrase about being a man of character, he could disregard the fact that the other party was a bandit who had killed countless people, and take him as a subordinate without any psychological burden.
Even knowing that the woman had been kidnapped, he could still let Over the Mountain Wind abuse her and leave without a second thought.
What kind of values are these?
It was easy to imagine the kind of education these aristocratic young masters received.
“Who are you?”
At this moment, Over the Mountain Wind shouted sharply, already holding a large ring-pommel saber he had placed on the table, looking at Gu Yang who was standing at the door with a ferocious expression.
◈◈◈
When Zheng Renjie left, the woman sitting by the bed felt her heart sink to the bottom. The hope that had just risen was once again completely destroyed.
She never expected that this Zheng family scion would disregard her life and death just to win over a bandit.
Just now, Over the Mountain Wind had suppressed her with his True Qi, and she couldn’t even speak, let alone reveal her identity.
This time, it was truly over!
She could no longer hear what Over the Mountain Wind was saying. Her mind was completely blank.
◈◈◈
“The one who will kill you.”
Gu Yang raised the Ghost Head Saber, saying coldly.
“Old Third!”
Over the Mountain Wind saw the Ghost Head Saber in his hand, his eyes narrowed, and he said with a mix of shock and anger, “What did you do to Old Third?”
“Guess.”
Over the Mountain Wind’s eyes widened in anger, his killing intent boiling, “I will tear you to pieces!”
He took a step forward, the ground shattering, and flew up, slashing at Gu Yang with an incomparably fierce momentum.
This man had a natural, ferocious aura, and he was fearless of death. Even when facing an opponent stronger than himself, he could unleash 120% of his power. He was truly a born warrior.
Gu Yang had already experienced this in that simulated life.
Facing this aggressive and powerful saber strike, he didn’t dodge or evade, and he also slashed out horizontally.
Chi!
This saber strike was as fast as lightning.
Over the Mountain Wind felt a chill in his throat, a gust of wind brushed past, and the ferocity on his face turned into horror. His mouth moved, “Seventh-Rank?”
A large amount of blood spurted out from his throat, and he crashed to the ground, dying with his eyes wide open.
◈◈◈
Even in death, he couldn’t turn his head to look at the woman behind him, his eyes filled with lingering unwillingness and reluctance.
This bandit who had killed countless people had finally ended his sinful life.
“Young Miss—”
The young girl who had been hiding outside the door saw that the great villain was finally dead, and she cried with joy. She rushed in and hugged her young miss, “We are finally saved—” She began to cry loudly.
Gu Yang ignored them, and began searching for spoils in the room.
◈◈◈
“Zhixing?”
Su Qingzhi was immersed in despair when she suddenly heard her maidservant’s cries. She finally woke up, and said with some fear, “How did you get in? Get out quickly!”
She absolutely did not want her maidservant, who was like a sister to her, to see what was about to happen.
“Young… Miss, we… we are saved…” Zhixing hugged her, sobbing uncontrollably.
Saved?
Su Qingzhi was momentarily dazed. She stared at her maidservant for a long time before suddenly reacting. She repeated, “We are saved?”
Zhixing wiped away her tears, “Yes, Young Miss, we are saved. That villain is dead.”
Su Qingzhi turned her head and saw the corpse on the ground. It was indeed Over the Mountain Wind. Her entire body seemed to have been drained of strength. Thinking about her experiences these past few days, she could no longer hold back her tears, which fell like pearls from a broken string.
◈◈◈
Gu Yang searched the entire room, not even letting go of Over the Mountain Wind’s corpse.
The gains weren’t much. He found a little over a hundred taels of silver, and there were no cultivation techniques or secret manuals on the corpse.
At this moment, the sounds of fighting and killing suddenly came from outside.
Gu Yang’s heart stirred, “Could it be the Liu family’s hunting team?”
He turned his head to look at the pair of master and servant who were still crying. He suddenly understood many of the things that had puzzled him before.
The reason why the Liu family had sent people to the Lian Mountains was for this woman.
The rumored Su Qingzhi, who was ranked thirteenth on the Red Beauty List.
Those traveling merchants had said that the Liu family wanted to offer this woman to some important figure, but she had managed to escape. In a fit of rage, they had slaughtered the entire Su family.
So, she had escaped into the Lian Mountains, and the Liu family had been pursuing her all the way.
Then, she had been kidnapped by Over the Mountain Wind to Wang Family Gully, and the Liu family’s people had also tracked them there.
This was also the reason why the Liu family’s hunting team was in Wang Family Gully.
Thinking this, Gu Yang reminded them, “The Liu family’s people are here. If you don’t leave now, you won’t be able to.”
The words “Liu family” woke the pair of master and servant from their joy of surviving.
Su Qingzhi’s expression changed. She also heard the sounds of fighting outside, saying, “Not good! Zhixing, we have to leave here quickly.”
Zhixing saw that Gu Yang was completely ignoring them and was about to slip out of the window. She said urgently, “Benefactor, can you take us with you?”
“I can’t help you. Take care of yourselves.” Gu Yang didn’t want to get into trouble. Saving them from Over the Mountain Wind was already more than enough.
Zhixing heard the sounds of fighting getting closer and closer. Seeing that Gu Yang had already gone out the window, she was anxious. Suddenly, an idea came to her mind, and she shouted, “My young miss has money, thirty thousand taels!”
Whoosh!
A figure suddenly came back in through the window. He landed beside them, and without saying a word, he grabbed one person by each shoulder, broke through the window, and fled the scene.
