章節 25: Travelled from Day 43 until Day 81
Liang Yu had moved to Blue Carp town on his own. Liang Jian and his wife Linlin, were headed to the Dark Moon Family to celebrate. Despite Liang Yu telling them not to go due to people's jealousy and other matters, they were adamant to share the joy and honor the ancestors.
Both of them showing strong growth and making a good name for themselves made Lian Jian want to share the joy with his family members. Not the clan directly but his actual parents. He also would try his part to smooth things over for Liang Yu.
That stupid shit never ends well. You can honor your ancestors anywhere if it was that important. It would end badly and Liang Jian and Linlin had only themselves to blame for being stupid really. Liang Jian had a higher cultivation than almost every member of the younger generation in the Dark Moon Family. The Patriarch may not like the looks of that. Especially his son Liang Xu.
After messing around at the Lakes, he needed to go hunting. After all, an 8th Heavenly Realm beast was in the area. Which meant a few other things would be to. Or he just hoped they would be. The blood of an 8th Heavenly Realm could definitely shed some light on his cultivation.
The only thing he was forgetting was that there was something else of a terrible level in the area. But the odds of running into that were slim to none. The plans he made were missing a few things as he and Popeye moved out. Not taking a carriage but traveling by foot. All the time to learn some things and hunt Demon beasts.
A slight commotion was going on the moment he made it in town.
.
Blue Carp Town Blues-
.
A portly man with black hair was talking to a frail old man. Memory served the fatty to be Zhao Yang of the Zhao clan in the area. The group was bigger then the Azure Feather Clan and used that to mess with the family.
The frail old man was the Patriarch of the feather clan. By the looks of it, the situation would get worse before it got better. Liang Yu was happy Popeye was resting in his Internal Space.
"Why so hostile, we are all residents of Blue Carp Town. So why can't my Zhao Family pay a visit to our neighbors?" Zhao Yang's smirk was a bit greasy. He reeked of being a slimeball. Came almost naturally to him.
"If it's just a courtesy call, then our Azure Feather Clan will of course welcome you. But with today being the Kun'Yuan Festival, shouldn't your Zhao family be preparing your celebrations." Old Ye said smoothly. Use to matters like this for a long time. About time to retire really. As in 20 years ago to be truthful.
Zhao Yang chuckled a little. The fat in his neck causing a sick sweat to drop. Almost a sick as his face itself.
"Of course we will be busy preparing our clan's celebrations..." His face turned slightly malicious. "..but we're here today to notify you of something, since everyone from your family is here really..."
"Wow, this blowhard really think he is top shit. How crazy and stupid." Liang Yu mumbled. A few of the residents gasped seeing him. He was after all a member of the Dark Moon family. Even without any escort, they moved away after taking notice. "Shhh, pretend I am not here."
The locals nodded while being shooshed. They wouldn't dare disobey and chalked it up to a noble playing around..
"After this Kun'yuan festival, the Ye Family's mine shall be taken over by us!"
"What did you say!?" Old Ye's eyes narrowed. "On whose authority you dare take over our mine!?" His voice was hoarse from the strain. Shaking a little, Liang Yu thought the man would collapse from the news.
Zhao Yang leaned back as he prepared to make his triumphant declaration. He whipped out a document showing proof of who gave the authority.
"The Dark Moon Family gave us the authority!" Zhao Yang's shit-eating grin threatens to rip his face apart. Looking every part of the predator. "The Whole Blue Carp Town is under the Administration of House Dark Moon. Do you dare go against their order?"
The Feather clan trembled at the news. The mine was after all their remaining lifeblood. To lose it, was almost a death sentence.
Old Ye tried to grab the declaration but Zhao pulled it away quickly.
"Hehe, if you want to verify this document, you can go look for House Dark Moon's steward Chen." Zhao Yang looked around the crowd enjoying their trembling looks of fear and worry. His eyes landed on Liang Yu who look unamused by the events. 'Why is he here!?' Steeling himself, quickly, he hoped their would be no interference. 'Since he has not done anything yet, all must be well. I will have to give a little tribute late to make it things.. smoother.'
The locals near Liang Yu looked back and forth. Some pleading for him to do something. It fell on deaf ears as he watched events unfold.
Liang Yu was waiting to see what they would do before he got involved.
"Patriarch, they are going to far!" A clansman protested.
"Let's fight it out with them!" Another yelled. Not everyone in the Ye clan were wimps.
"Yeah, Patriarch! They are trying to push us to the brink of death!" Another member yelled.
"Fight it out with us? Do you even qualify for that?" Zhao Yang felt bold. "You ignore the fact that you don't have any experts here! Not even a 6th layer realm to even qualify as a real family clan!"
It was pretty true. Considering they had a few 3rd Layer's as well with Ye Xinghe who showed promise still, the clan was not much considering.
"I wouldn't mind killing off all your men, and selling off your women to the local whorehouse," Zhao Yang was a rightful bastard. The Ye members felt a knot grow in their stomachs. "and wipe the name of the Azure Feather Family from the face of the Earth!"
The Ye clan started to back away a little. Their luster and buster all gone after hearing that. The locals near Liang Yu started to beg him to do something. He shushed them once more.
"Shush, settle down. I need to see if they are worth helping." Liang Yu chastised. They gave him odd looks. Some of disgust. "You don't like what I am doing, go on and do something yourself." They immediately piped down at that.
*Woom!* A pulse of energy swirled in the crowd by the patriarch. Ye Xinghe's main character status in full effect as he walked out.
"Patriarch Zhao Yang, if our Ye Clan were to really fight it out with you all, your Zhao Clan would find out that things aren't that easy!" His words pumping his clansmen up. Finding their backbone again, they stood firm. "I don't dare to more than this, but we can at least cause a few hundred casualties."
The Zhao members didn't like the sound of that at all. Especially the weaker ones. The stun look of Zhao Yang made Ye Xinghe press harder.
"When that happens, we'll see if your Zhao Clan remains the number one clan in Blue Carp Town!"
"Oh my god, he really just said that." Liang Yu facepalmed. "In what way would this go well considering his clan weakness. Descendant from the Emperor my ass!" Those near him started pleading for him to do something after thinking over the matters. "Settle down, I will do something soon."
They were quite persistent.
Liang Yu wanted a blood bath to help his cultivation, but not like this. After all, just makes it easier for the rebels to manipulate things and the Demonic Beasts to gain more territory. Considering the number of kids he picked up with Astral Sense, something just set bad with that.
'Fuk dem kids dammit.' Liang Yu felt a pounding headache. Something was off but not enough to get him to leave.
"Hahahaha! Kill a few hundred of our Zhao Clan members? Your Ye clan people sure think to highly of yourselves!" Zhao Yang ridiculed. "Brat, what makes you think you can speak in the presence of adults?"
"Father..." A very caucasian looking guy stepped forward. Like blond hair and blue eyes full on. Nothing about this guy fits with the rest of the people. Very non-asian looking really. "..this guy is that Ye Xinghe I was telling you about before."
"Ah, Zhao Yan you mention someone like this a little."
"Yes, the little traitor's sworn brother from what I remember." Zhao Yan's smug look was close to his father's in copying. "He managed to get into the Heavenly Star Academy and become the vice-principals 3rd disciple but ended getting expelled. Many people have all kind of theory's on how he managed that and think it was the reason he was expelled."
"Ok ok, that is enough of this noise." Liang Yu walked out frowning. If they start questioning Ye Xinghe's attainment in the test, then the same might be said for himself. Then he would lose the little protection he had so far. As well as the bait to be attacked by people for fear of his potential. "Zhao Yan, let me see that declaration, now." He demanded.
The fatty trembled a bit. Not wanting to have him involved.
"Ah, young.. master Liang Yu, what a surprise." Zhao Yan was not liking that tone of his. If denied the command it would not go over well for him. "Are you here by yourself?"
"I am in Dark Moon territory, I am never by myself." His hand outstretched as lighting dance in his eyes. Daring them to dismiss his command. Receiving it, it was looked over and really had some stipulation in it about the matter with the mine. Overall it was only supposed to be taken over in a supervisor capacity. The Dark Moon was covering tracks to relieve the suspicion that they allowed traitors to develop in the territory. "Makes sense with the fine detail and all leading to more. Stop trying to make it another matter. Consider this a warning."
Old Ye was called over and sworn to not speak a word over what is read. The old man looked back at Ye Xinghe trembling. But to keep a united front, he said nothing. He just gave a deep sigh in disappointment at the rashness of youth.
"I understand." Old Ye looked at his clansmen then to the Zhao family. "How about a wager?" Liang Yu did not like the sound of this at all. The old man was a little to crafty for his liking. "A half of a month from now will be the Annual Competition as well as other matters that do not concern us for the Lin clan. If the Zhao clan wishes for our mine, they must prove they are worth it."
"Whew, thought it was about to be something crazy." Liang Yu sighed to quickly.
"If the Zhao clan does not take the top spot they are unworthy of having our mine." Old Ye gripped his walking cane tightly. "If a member of the Ye clan scores the top spot, it is proof we deserve it and the Zhao must make payments for the matter of this slight!"
"Humph!" Zhao Yan saw this as the dying gamble of an old man. But he rather have more assurances. His eyes landing on Liang Yu as a quick plan formed. "With so many members of your clan most likely participating to reduce our fighting power, you have the upper hand. I propose young master Liang Yu participate as well."
As long as the Zhao Clan didn't win, and the Ye clan didn't win, the matter of the mine could be checked over with a little bribing to the steward.
"Umm, how about.." Liang Yu was slightly unwilling. He wanted to go search real soon and this was cutting into his timetable. Plus, the Dark Moon Family should be sending members to the area soon. He needed to get a counter reward quickly. ".. for the right incentive, sure."
"That sounds like a great idea!" Zhao Yan said heatedly. The young man was a bit of a hothead and to sure of himself. "Perfect chance to prove Ye Xinghe didn't cheat or yourself in the competition to be admitted into the academy!"
"We are in agreement then!" Zhao Yang stated before turning around to depart. His son may have made a bad impression on Liang Yu. They needed to leave before matters spun more out of their control. "What is this incentive for you to participate?" He asked before they dispersed.
"I get to take a walk around the mines both families have for inspection first." Ling Yu smirked. "That way you all can participate with a clear heart on some matters."
No one argued it. The Ye clan really couldn't and the Zhao family had nothing to lose since their mines were almost barren.
Once the Zhao clan departed under whispers, the Ye clan paid respects to Liang Yu.
"This old man thanks you, young master." Old Ye bowed with respect. The Azure Feather clan doing the same. "As for the mines.."
"You can take me a few days from now. Right now, I need to search your estate." Liang Yu would get something out of this situation later and right now. Considering the command that was issued that the old man red, a little persuasion was all that he needed. "A quick walk around to make sure nothing bad is happening there. Sounds good, doesn't it?"
"I understand." Old Ye nodded. The clan had nothing to hide, so Liang Yu just saying they were clear, went a long way actually. "Follow me."
