Chapter 142: Chapter 142: Shocking News about the Marrow Cleansing Pill

”Qin Qing, how about this? We won’t ask for much. Ye Xiu just needs to give us 100 million, and we’ll pretend nothing happened today,” Qin Qing’s aunt, He Qing, said with a smile.

”One hundred million is a bit too little. I think 20 million per person is more appropriate,” Grandma Liu Xiaocui said.

”Grandma has a point. Let’s make it 20 million per person then,” Qin Anruo said.

Seeing the shameless greed on her family’s faces, Qin Qing turned pale with anger. If these people weren’t her relatives and elders, she really would have slapped them across the face.

Ye Xiu, on the other hand, wasn’t angry. Getting mad at a bunch of trash wasn’t worth it.

RUMBLE! RUMBLE!

Just then, the rumbling of a helicopter approached from outside. Immediately after, Sang Qiuyu rushed in, leading dozens of people.

Seeing this, the Qin Family grew anxious.

Taking the opportunity, Qin Fugui whispered, ”Ye Xiu, they must be here to arrest you. As long as you agree to give each of us 20 million, we won’t tell them you’re the murderer.”

”It was 20 million just now, but the price has gone up. It has to be 50 million per person,” Uncle Qin Zhongwu said, opportunistically raising the price.

”Fifty million sounds about right,” Qin Anruo said with a laugh.

Qin Qing suddenly felt a wave of panic. If these people were really here to arrest Ye Xiu, her only option would be to persuade Ye Xiu to pay the Qin Family. She definitely did not want Ye Xiu to go to jail.

However, before she could say anything, Ye Xiu stated coldly, ”I won’t give you a single cent.”

”Then you can go to jail,” Qin Fugui retorted. ”You’ve killed so many people, you can forget about getting out of prison for the rest of your life. Then, Zhulu Group will belong to Qin Qing and our Qin Family.”

Hearing this, the Qin Family members decided it was more beneficial for Ye Xiu to be in jail. Fifty million each couldn’t compare to the entire Zhulu Group.

”I’ll report him!” Qin Anruo cried out, unable to wait as she ran toward Sang Qiuyu and his men. ”Ye Xiu is the killer! It has nothing to do with us! Arrest him quickly, and it would be best to sentence him to death or something!”

”Right, right, it has nothing to do with us! We’re victims too!”

”Ye Xiu just killed eight people! We can testify!”

”There’s still fresh blood on the ground! That’s all the evidence you need!”

Aside from Qin Qing’s parents, who had remained silent, the other members of the Qin Family scrambled over each other to report Ye Xiu.

”Report my ass!” Sang Qiuyu shoved the approaching Qin Anruo aside and rushed over to Ye Xiu, asking with a constipated expression, ”Is it over?”

”Yes,” Ye Xiu nodded. He inwardly praised the efficiency and capability of the Red Flame Army; they had located this place so quickly, which was truly remarkable.

Sang Qiuyu and his men, however, blushed with shame. They had been so confident that the Red Flame Army would find the unlicensed black Chevrolet before Huang Quan. After all, as a special combat team under Qing Luan, they held special authority in the Eastern Region and could mobilize all of its resources in an emergency. It was no exaggeration to say that no force in the Eastern Region was more formidable than the Red Flame Army. Yet, Huang Quan had still beaten them to it. It was a complete slap in the face.

Once he recovered, Sang Qiuyu declared powerfully, ”First Squad of the Red Flame Army, fifty members, awaiting your command!”

WHOOSH!

The fifty members of the Red Flame Army quickly snapped into formation, awaiting Ye Xiu’s orders.

The Qin Family was completely dumbfounded.

What is happening? These people aren’t here to arrest Ye Xiu? Wait a minute! Red Flame Army? Are these people from the Eastern Red Flame Army, under the command of Qing Luan, one of Xuanse’s Eight Great National Protector War Gods? And they’re taking orders from Ye Xiu?

”Clean up the scene, then return to your unit,” Ye Xiu ordered.

”Yes!” the fifty men responded in unison, then quickly began to clean up.

To be perfectly honest, this was the first time the Red Flame Army had ever done this kind of manual labor, which was far beneath their status. But the thought of assisting Huang Quan had them all working with immense vigor.

The Qin Family members watched this unfold, each of them looking as if they had swallowed a fly. Just moments ago, they were threatening to report Ye Xiu if he didn’t pay them compensation. They had even tried to turn him in to Sang Qiuyu’s men. But with a single sentence from Ye Xiu, the revered Red Flame Army had turned into a cleanup crew.

It was an unabashed, merciless slap in the face. If the Red Flame Army obeyed Ye Xiu, who in the entire Eastern Region would dare to arrest him? Who would dare to pass judgment on him?

After watching Ye Xiu and Qin Qing leave, Qin Fugui timidly asked Sang Qiuyu, ”Um, who is Ye Xiu? Why do you listen to him?”

”Heh, do you think I would dare to say?” Sang Qiuyu chuckled.

Qin Fugui and the rest of the Qin Family were stunned. Sang Qiuyu, an apparent leader of the Red Flame Army, didn’t dare to reveal Ye Xiu’s identity. One could only imagine how terrifying his status must be.

”Old sir, you must be Qin Fugui,” Sang Qiuyu said. ”I’ve heard about the Qin Family’s attitude toward Divine Doctor Ye, and seeing it today, your reputation is well-deserved. However, allow me to offer a piece of advice: you’d better treat Divine Doctor Ye well. If he comes to accept you, the Qin Family could become the number one noble household in Xuanse in a matter of minutes.”

The Qin Family members gasped. Is Ye Xiu really that powerful?

They were overcome with bitter regret. If only they had known how incredible Ye Xiu was, they would have started fawning over him long ago. Now, getting him to accept them seemed more difficult than a pilgrimage to the Western Paradise.

Upon leaving the warehouse, Ye Xiu commented, ”Your parents aren’t so bad.”

”They’re just too timid and cowardly. They listen to whatever my grandparents say,” Qin Qing said with a wry smile.

”What I mean is, if they’re willing, they can move in with us. You can also arrange different jobs for them to get them away from the rest of the Qin Family,” Ye Xiu suggested.

”Okay, I’ll find a time to talk to them,” Qin Qing said happily, touched that Ye Xiu was willing to accept her parents.

Just then, Ye Xiu’s phone rang. It was Gong Jin.

”Young Master, I just received news that Yunxuan Auction House has obtained a Marrow Cleansing Pill, which will be auctioned tonight at 9 PM.”

”Someone other than me can refine Marrow Cleansing Pills? Where did Yunxuan Auction House get it?” Ye Xiu asked in surprise.

Gong Jin replied, ”I haven’t investigated yet, but once this news gets out, it will likely attract countless Ancient Martial Arts experts from across the country. Those domestic assassins who accepted the 200 million Gold Reward, as well as those who have infiltrated the country and have been lying low, might use this as an opportunity to slip into Jin Ye City.”

”You know what to do, right?” Ye Xiu asked.

”Yes,” Gong Jin affirmed.

Ye Xiu hung up. Such trivial matters didn’t require his personal attention; Gong Jin and Mo Luo would thoroughly investigate everyone attending the auction, as well as any assassins who slipped into Jin Ye City.

”What’s a Marrow Cleansing Pill?” Qin Qing asked.

”It’s a miraculous elixir that lets a person undergo a Cleansing of Essence and Marrow,” Ye Xiu explained. ”Let me put it this way. At your age, your meridians have already set, so you’ve passed the optimal age for cultivating Inner Strength.

”However, after taking a Marrow Cleansing Pill, your meridians will be transformed, becoming as resilient as a newborn’s and incredibly wide. When you cultivate Inner Strength then, your speed will be more than ten times that of an ordinary person...”
