Berserk God of War

Capítulo 1701: Chapter 1701: Young Master, Ye Wuzhi

What Lou Jie and the others couldn’t understand even more was…

It wasn’t a big deal at all; kidnapping someone was just to prevent Su Old Demon’s granddaughter from being punished.

This behavior was simply foolish. Why should it matter to you if someone punishes their own family?

However, what they didn’t know was that even if Su Yuexi were only a stranger who had helped them at the time, Sikong Jing would still have rescued her.

Though it might not have been in such an extreme manner.

In any case, Sikong Jing would never allow anyone to be unjustly punished because of him.

Inside the Judgement Tower, Sikong Jing didn’t care about what Lou Jie and the others thought; he turned to Su Yuexi and said, “The next one who might come could be Ye Wukui, and I don’t want them to recognize me for the time being.”

As he mentioned this, Sikong Jing slightly furrowed his brow.

The reason for not seeing Liu Shitian wasn’t to provoke intentionally but because Liu Shitian had seen him in the Canglong Small Domain, and Sikong Jing didn’t want to reveal his relationship with Su Yuexi too soon and needed to wait for a new opportunity to do so…

In response, Su Yuexi replied, “Could it also be dad and mom?”

Sikong Jing chuckled softly at her words and expectantly said, “Indeed, it could be done this way. Only when dad and mom come will I let you return, but they still need to ensure no punishment will be imposed on you.”

“Let’s first see how the Willow Leaf Saint Manor reacts.”

“Now we…”

At this point, Sikong Jing paused and then fixed his gaze on the Su Yuexi in his arms, whose face gradually turned red until she finally closed her eyes slowly.

Everything that needed to be said had already been spoken.

Both had already shared what had happened during this period.

Meanwhile, Su Yuexi had clearly understood Sikong Jing’s plan, so now it was time to truly feel each other’s presence… In Su Yuexi’s anticipation, she felt the warmth upon her lips.

…

At the same time, at Willow Leaf Saint Manor.

Before a rather shabby wooden house, Su Zhenglong, who had just left the manor’s main hall, was currently there.

He anxiously called out, “Uncle, Yuexi has been taken away, it’s by the Soul Dominator’s Heir from Overlord Commerce, Liu Shitian has gone to negotiate, but even if we get Yuexi back, she might still be punished.”

Just as the words fell… Creak!

The wooden house’s door was gently opened, and out walked an elder with a cane.

This person looked pale and somewhat sickly, and he hoarsely asked, “Tell me the details.”

His name was Ye Wuzhi, Su Zhenglong’s uncle, and also Su Yuexi’s uncle.

He was the youngest brother of Ye Wushen and Ye Wukui, having been only six or seven when Ye Wuyan left with Su Old Demon.

Simultaneously, he was the only person in the Willow Leaf Saint Manor who treated Su Zhenglong’s family kindly.

Su Yuexi, the reason she could go out this time…

The reason she could go with Ye Wuyu to watch the Hunting Festival was due to the opportunity that Ye Wuzhi had requested on her behalf, but from his dwelling and appearance, his situation at the Willow Leaf Saint Manor wasn’t much better either.

But Su Zhenglong had no choice; the only person he could turn to in the Willow Leaf Saint Manor was Ye Wuzhi.

Not daring to delay, Su Zhenglong quickly recounted the events as told by Ye Wuyu.

After listening, an expression of anger appeared on Ye Wuzhi’s face…

“Ye Wuyu really can’t stop being troublesome, always dwelling on those crooked paths, wanting to hasten the Hundred Dominating Souls Soldier Killing Array is understandable, but to resort to such unscrupulous means.”

He was naturally referring to Ye Wuyu’s intentional accusations against Bai Xiaojin and Leng Sha, even though they were not within the Hunting Festival’s scope.

The result of this was like what was happening now, having backfired.

Though he was Ye Wuyu’s younger brother, he directly called her by name, indicating a poor relationship.

Then, Ye Wuzhi added, “No need to worry, this Soul Dominator’s Heir kidnapped Yuexi because he was afraid she would be punished, suggesting he’s someone with emotion and righteousness, unlikely to harm Yuexi.”

Hearing this, Su Zhenglong breathed a silent sigh of relief.

But his true concern wasn’t the Soul Dominator’s Heir, but the fact that Yuexi might still be punished when she returned.

His wariness and unease toward the people in Willow Leaf Saint Manor were from the bottom of his heart.

“But it’s hard to say…”

Suddenly, Ye Wuzhi continued, “What if the Soul Dominator’s Heir knows Yuexi is Brother-in-law Su’s granddaughter and is doing this on purpose.”

As his words ended, Su Zhenglong’s face turned white again.

That would be quite terrifying, possibly leading to all sorts of unexpected occurrences.

Taking a deep breath, Ye Wuzhi then said, “Let’s not worry too much for now; the Soul Dominator’s Heir certainly won’t do anything to Yuexi. For now, let’s head to the main hall to see if Liu Shitian has managed to bring her back.”

“By then, I guarantee Yuexi won’t be punished.”

After comforting Su Zhenglong, Ye Wuzhi used his cane to step slowly away from the wooden house.

And Su Zhenglong quickly moved forward, saying, “Uncle, let me help you.”

One of Ye Wuzhi’s legs was very inconvenient because it had been broken when he was very young.

The one who broke it was none other than his father, the former Manor Master of Willow Leaf Saint Manor.

When Su Beiheng was held in the Willow Leaf Saint Manor dungeon, it was he who had helped his elder sister Ye Wuyan steal the key to release him.

He even secretly reported to his Brother-in-law Su in the past…

Afterward, Su Old Demon shook the whole Central Plains.

His father, to prove Willow Leaf Saint Manor had no dealings with Su Old Demon, broke one of his legs in front of the entire populace.

The power of a Top-level Emperor turned him into a cripple, causing him to be despised in the Willow Leaf Saint Manor.

However, in recent years, things have improved…

Because Ye Wuzhi excelled in Soldier Killing Arrays, he had even derived a small part of the soldier map from the Qianyuan Soldier Fragment, which recently allowed him to have a say in the Willow Leaf Saint Manor.

Thus, supported by Su Zhenglong, Ye Wuzhi made his way step by step to the main hall of the Willow Leaf Saint Manor…

And just then, Liu Shitian had just returned from the Batian Branch, bumping into them right outside the hall.

Seeing him, Su Zhenglong rushed forward to ask, “Uncle Shitian, Yuexi, she…”

“Get lost…”

Before he could finish, Liu Shitian cut him off with just two words, even aiming a fierce kick at him.

Fortunately, just as Su Zhenglong was about to be kicked away, a cane blocked Liu Shitian’s foot, and it was naturally Ye Wuzhi.

He coldly remarked, “Liu Shitian, can’t you speak properly?”

Liu Shitian cast a cold glance at Ye Wuzhi, withdrew his foot with a snort, and stepped into the hall.

Right now, he had no mood to deal with a lame old man and a mongrel.

As for Ye Wuzhi and Su Zhenglong, they didn’t follow inside. With their status, they couldn’t enter the hall without Ye Wushen’s order.

Just as Ye Wuzhi was about to request entry…

From within the hall, Liu Shitian’s furious roar could be heard, “The Soul Dominator’s Heir is simply contemptuous, even saying he won’t see or negotiate with anyone from the Liu Family and keeps threatening me, damn it.”
