Hidden Master: starting by canceling ten marriage proposals
Chapter 721: Why Should I?_1
Lin Yunzhi also felt weak all over, barely able to breathe.
What sins had he committed!
Yin Tian had connections with the Du Family and the Chi Family among the six great families of the Imperial City, whom he couldn’t afford to provoke.
And was he supposed to be able to provoke the Qu Family, another of the six great families of the Imperial City?
Standing there, enduring the stares of five pairs of eyes, Lin Yunzhi felt like he wanted to die!
"Hmph!"
The young man who had received two slaps from Xuanyuan Yuhao snorted coldly, pounced on him, and knocked Xuanyuan Yuhao to the ground. He rained down punches on Xuanyuan Yuhao, who dared not fight back.
"Hit me! Hit me! Try hitting me again, damn you!"
As the young man beat him, he questioned Xuanyuan Yuhao.
Xuanyuan Yuhao could only lie there, taking the beating like a tempest.
Lin Yunzhi, witnessing Xuanyuan Yuhao’s miserable state, stood there, too scared to utter a word.
But Tingting walked straight up to Lin Yunzhi, glaring at him, "Which damn scoundrel told you to block this road?"
Lin Yunzhi shrank back in fear, "It was... Yin Tian. If it weren’t for him, we wouldn’t dare to do this..."
Yin Tian?
Tingting’s eyes flashed with confusion.
Were there any families with the surname Yin in Central City?
At that moment, the young man who was beating Xuanyuan Yuhao looked up at Lin Yunzhi, "You’re saying, the reason you blocked the road is because of someone named Yin Tian?" 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
He had been slapped for no reason, and although he had given Xuanyuan Yuhao a beating, it was clearly not enough to vent his anger.
The mastermind behind all this was that person named Yin Tian.
He wished Yin Tian would appear before him right now, so he could give him a good thrashing and finally soothe his fury!
"Yes, yes!"
"Did he tell you why you should block the road?"
"He didn’t say..."
Lin Yunzhi kept his head down, devoid of all his previous arrogance in the face of these young people from the Qu Family, "He just told us to block the road, not to let anyone through..."
The young people from the Qu Family exchanged glances.
They each had their own suspicions.
That person called Yin Tian did this targeting them!
"Hmph!"
The young man stood up from atop Xuanyuan Yuhao, cast a cold glance at Lin Yunzhi and Xuanyuan Yuhao, and then said, "Let’s go. There’s no need to stay here any longer."
"Right."
Quickly agreeing, they prepared to leave.
Lin Yunzhi stood there in great difficulty.
He had already offended the Qu Family.
If he let these people from the Qu Family leave just like that, wouldn’t he be offending Yin Tian as well?
Just as Lin Yunzhi was struggling to decide between two hard choices, a voice suddenly rang out.
"Gentlemen, do you really intend to leave after stealing someone else’s property?"
Tingting and the other young people stopped in their tracks. They saw a handsome young man approaching from afar.
Yin Tian!!
Xuanyuan Yuhao and Lin Yunzhi were so excited they almost cried!
At last!
He had finally come!
Watching Yin Tian approaching from a distance, they felt his image grow colossal, his body seemingly radiating with a brilliant aura!
No matter what, they had at least kept the people here until Yin Tian arrived.
By that account, they had fulfilled Yin Tian’s trust!
Upon hearing Yin Tian’s words, the hot-tempered Tingting immediately retorted, "What are you talking about? What do you mean we stole someone’s property?"
Yin Tian raised his hand, pointing to the wooden box in the arms of the other girl, "Isn’t the evidence right there?"
"The medicinal herbs I stored in the hospital warehouse were brazenly taken by you folks, isn’t that stealing? Oh, my apologies, that was a direct robbery, not theft indeed."
"You!"
Tingting suddenly found she couldn’t argue back against Yin Tian!
Then the young man stepped forward, "Brother, my name is Qu Shuli, and we’re all from the Qu Family. This Tendon-Strengthening Vine is very useful to us; please be generous and let us have it."
This time he was smart, directly revealing his identity.
He told Yin Tian outright that they were from the Qu Family and they had set their sights on the Tendon-Strengthening Vine.
But Yin Tian shook his head, "Why should I part with it just because it’s useful to you? Do we know each other?"
Qu Shuli’s smile froze on his face.
He even began to wonder if Yin Tian had just arrived in Central City.
Otherwise, how could he not know what the Qu Family name signified?
But then he thought, if Yin Tian could get the Master of the Xuanyuan Family and Lin Family, two top-tier families, to do tasks for him, then Yin Tian’s status must be extraordinary indeed.
Why was Yin Tian so indifferent to the Qu Family?
"Return the item to me, then you can leave."
Yin Tian said indifferently.
"And what if I don’t return it?"
Qu Shuli’s eyes grew cold, "The Qu Family needs this medicinal herb."
"Your Qu Family needs it, so you want to rob it?"
Yin Tian let out a short laugh, "On what grounds?"
"Because my Qu Family is the leading family in the world of medicine!"
