βDo you really have nothing more to say, old man?β Yang Kai asked, smiling.
Old Fuβs expression was calm as he stayed silent. He was old and experienced, so how could he fall for Yang Kaiβs trick? His Young Lady would be slapped if he spoke again.
Yang Kai turned back around and looked at the red-clothed girl, βWhat about you? Do you have anything to say?β
Tears were still streaming down her face, stinging her burning red cheeks. She didnβt dare to say anything, so she quickly shook her head back and forth like a rattle.
βIn that caseβ¦β Yang Kaiβs expression suddenly sank, and he coldly snorted, βGet out!β
To Old Fu, those words were like an amnesty. He didnβt dare to say anything as he rushed to his Young Lady and enveloped her in his Emperor Qi, grabbed her fallen whip, and bolted for the door.
However, just as he reached it, he turned his head and shot Yang Kai a cold, hatred-filled glare.
He didnβt dare to voice a blatant threat because he knew he wasnβt Yang Kaiβs opponent, but he refused to leave in such a shameful manner. Thus, he chose to leave him with a meaningful glare.
Zhang Ruo Xi didnβt stop them and only watched as they retreated.
After they disappeared, she made her way to the other side of the house, squatted down, and looked at the girl named Xiao Lingβer, βDonβt be afraid, Little Sister, weβve chased the bad people away!β
Xiao Lingβerβs cheeks were stained with tears. Perhaps it was because Zhang Ruo Xi had saved her and her Grandpa, but at this moment, she wasnβt frightened at all. She stared wide-eyed at Zhang Ruo Xi, seemingly curious about how this Elder Sister could be even more amazing than her Grandpa.
Old Ban stood up shakingly and cupped his fists, saying, βMany thanks to this Little Brother and Young Lady for your assistance. This old man will be forever indebted!β
If Yang Kai and Zhang Ruoxi hadnβt come here today, he would undoubtedly have no choice but to leave with the red-clothed girl. He didnβt care about entering the Ancient Land as he was confident he would be able to return safely, but how could he rest assured knowing that Xiao Lingβer would be alone while sick?
βYou are too polite, Elder. It was only natural for us to intervene,β Zhang Ruo Xi smiled slightly, not taking credit.
Old Ban sighed and said, βThis old man has implicated the two of you. May I know the names of my great benefactors?β
Having lived in this desolated city for so long, heβd naturally developed a keen eye for people. The red-clothed girl was undoubtedly of extraordinary status, and his benefactors had offended her for his sake. He was afraid the red-clothed girl would target them for revenge and felt extremely apologetic.
Yang Kai slightly smiled and didnβt answer. Instead, he just said, βElder, Xiao Lingβerβs illness seems to be quite severe. It would be best to focus on her recovery and then leave this place as soon as possible. We wonβt bother you any longer.β
As he spoke, he sent Zhang Ruo Xi a glance, signalling that it was time to leave.
Although his main purpose for coming here was to ask Old Ban to guide him into the Ancient Lands, he would have to abandon his original plan. He couldnβt make the old man leave his sick granddaughter alone like this.
Furthermore, Yang Kai was confident that he would be able to enter the Ancient Lands even without Old Banβs guidance. There may just be some more twists and turns on the road.
He would only be making things hard for Old Ban if he asked him to guide them.
βGrandpaβ¦β Xiao Lingβer suddenly called out in a weak voice.
Immediately afterwards, Old Ban shouted, βPlease, wait!β
Yang Kai looked back at him.
βLittle Brother, I presume you came to ask this old man to take you into the Ancient Lands?β
Old Ban had no other friends or family, so this was the only reason people visited him. It was what the red-clothed girl came for, and he had no doubt Yang Kai was the same.
There was nothing to hide, so Yang Kai nodded, βYes.β
βIn that case, this old man shall ask the two of you to wait outside the entrance of the Ancient Lands tomorrow. This old man will meet you there and take you inside!β
Yang Kai raised his brows and said with a slight smile, βMany thanks for your kind offer, butβ¦ You should take care of Xiao Lingβer first.β
Old Ban touched Lingβerβs head and replied, βThis is what Xiao Lingβer wants. I cannot disappoint her.β
Yang Kai frowned, βBut if you lead me into the Ancient Lands, where will Xiao Lingβer go?β
βI have lived here for many years and am not without connections. Naturally, I know a safe place that Xiao Lingβer can go to.β He paused and then continued, βThis old man possesses nothing of value, and this is all I can do to thank my two benefactors. I hope you will accept this, Little Brother.β
At this point, it wouldnβt be appropriate for Yang Kai to keep refusing, so he nodded, βVery well. I will thank you in advance, Old Ban. Ruo Xi and I will be waiting for you tomorrow at the entrance.β
βThen itβs settled! Take care!β Old Ban cupped his fists and bowed slightly.
Just then, Xiao Lingβer suddenly called out to them, βBig Brother, Elder Sister, be careful! Iβve heard Grandpa say that itβs very dangerous there. You must come back alive!β
Zhang Ruo Xi smiled upon hearing her, βOkay! Xiao Lingβer also needs to take good care of herself and grow up quickly!β
Xiao Lingβer nodded enthusiastically. Her face, which was pale from her illness, blushing a little red.
After leaving Old Banβs residence, Yang Kai took Zhang Ruo Xi and left the city, heading straight in the direction of the Ancient Lands. They found its entrance an hour later.
They searched for a quiet spot and sat down cross-legged, after which Yang Kai took out the jade slip given to him by Pi San and studied the map of the Ancient Lands carefully.
The Ancient Lands were filled with danger at every turn. There was no lack of Monster Beasts and natural arrays, and even an Emperor Realm Master could not guarantee their safety inside. Although Yang Kai was strong, he was not arrogant enough to enter without making the proper preparations.
Furthermore, he intended to use this map to see if he could find Xiao Xiaoβs location.
Naturally, it would be best if he could find Xiao Xiao on the perimeter of the Ancient Lands, but if not, he would have to venture into deeper, more dangerous regions.
β¦..
βKill, kill, kill, kill, kill them all!β A hundred kilometres away from the desolate city, on a deserted hillside, the red-clothed girl was seething. Her face was twisted with anger and hatred as she cursed incessantly.
She had never suffered a single loss from when she was a child till now, let alone get slapped in public.
Although she was terribly frightened at the time, so much that she lost the courage to even speak, when she got to a safe place, the humiliation and rage immediately surged forth. It was so suffocating that it almost made her vomit blood.
She had to get revenge, no matter what!
She grit her teeth and continued to curse as she held her whip and lashed at the two Third-Order Dao Source Realm guards over and over again.
These two cultivators were talented and had come from a powerful Sect. In the outside world, they could be considered top experts. However, facing the red-clothed girlβs whip, they didnβt dare to dodge or use their Source Qi to resist. They could only clench their teeth and stay rooted in place.
The whip fell once more. Fresh blood flowed, and flesh tore open. Their tattered clothes were already covered in blood.
There was also a burst of anger in their eyes. However, the anger was not directed at their own Young Lady, but Yang Kai.
In their minds, they believed that if it werenβt for Yang Kai and Zhang Ruo Xi, their Young Lady wouldnβt be beating them.
It was all Yang Kaiβs fault.
Old Fu stood beside them, terrified that his Young Lady would also beat him with a whip in her fury, and he didnβt dare to speak up.
If he, an Emperor Realm Master, was whipped by his weak Young Lady, he would really lose all face.
Fortunately, his Young Lady seemed to be giving him some consideration. Although she was angry to the point of losing her mind, she didnβt punish him openly. Instead, her whip only fell on the two Third-Order Dao Source Realm cultivators again and again, faster and harder with each lash. They were in so much pain that they couldnβt help but look at Old Fu for help.
However, Old Fu turned a blind eye, leaving them to howl miserably in their hearts.
After venting for a long time, the girl finally seemed to be tired. Gasping for breath, she fell to the ground. Her clothes were damp with sweat, making her graceful body faintly visible.
However, no one dared to appreciate this beautiful scenery. Old Fu kept his gaze downward, while the two guards were practically on the verge of death. They stood there trembling and looked as though they could fall at any moment.
βOld Fu, send a message back to the palace and tell them to quickly send some people here!β The red-haired girl ordered suddenly.
Old Fu was startled, βWhat do you plan to do, Young Lady?β
The red-clothed girl sneered and responded, βWhat do I plan to do? What do you think? Of course, Iβm going to capture those two dogs. Iβm going to skin them, eat their meat, and drink their blood. Iβm going to kill them!β
βYou mustnβt, Young Lady!β
βWhat? Am I supposed to expect you to avenge me? I know youβre too scared!β
Her words were humiliating but true. He didnβt dare to go up against Yang Kai.
Even so, he advised, βYoung Lady, Sir said that he permitted you to leave this time so you can train your temperament. You cannot bully others again using your status. If Sir were to hear the whole story, Young Lady, you would never be let out of the palace again! Have you forgotten what happened three years ago?β
As soon as Old Fu mentioned βwhat had happened three years agoβ, the red-clothed girl suddenly seemed to recall something and her face immediately turned pale and filled with fear.
Three years ago, she ventured out just like this and made a small mistake. She bullied several cultivators using her identity to get her way, and the next day, she was caught by her father and was put under house arrest for three years.
Three years, three whole years. It was truly torturous to be imprisoned for three years, so close yet so far to the noise and prosperity of the outside world.
Finally regaining her freedom wasnβt easy. If her father caught her again, she was afraid three years of confinement would become thirty this time.
