Chapter 425 Conflict
He never expected the Sima family to be so domineering, directly expelling the Qian family. This was no longer just about documents and inkstones, but about the dignity of both families.
"Young Master, please don't go over there! These guys are not only domineering, but also extremely ruthless. We two risked our lives to escape, and there are still many others trapped there."
Taking a deep breath, Old Li seemed to have felt some relief from his injuries, and then said.
"Don't worry, I will get justice for you. If the Sima family wants to start a war, we won't be afraid of them!"
Qian Wensong took a deep breath, suppressing his rage, and then said in a deep voice.
Although the Qian family's power is relatively low now, they are not people who can be bullied. If the other party wants to start a war, the Qian family will fight to the death and make the Sima family suffer a lot.
Ye Ru remained silent, glancing at Elder Li and the others before reciting the "Qing Nang Zi Shu" once more.
As Ye Ru chanted, their injuries were completely healed.
This miraculous scene astonished both Elder Li and his companion. They then bowed deeply to Ye Ru, expressing their gratitude: "Thank you so much, young man."
"It's alright, you guys should go back now, there's still some danger here."
Ye Ru waved his hand and said.
"Go quickly, go back and collect your reward. Tell them it was me who said it, and that they won't treat you unfairly."
Qian Wensong waved his hand and said.
As soon as they finished speaking, the two of them left.
"Brother Qian, what are you planning to do next?"
Ye Ru looked at Qian Wensong, then looked around. After seeing that there was no one else around, he said.
"Hmm...of course we're going to reclaim our territory. These guys are bullying us too much. If I don't go, the Qian family's prestige will be completely trampled on."
Qian Wensong's face flushed red, and he clenched his fists tightly as he spoke.
Upon hearing this, Ye Ru nodded, then said to Zhang Dong and the others, "Let's go take a look too."
He saw something in Qian Wensong that the noble families of Jin lacked.
Afterwards, the group headed towards the place where the documents and ink were kept.
Inside the valley, a large crowd gathered, their faces showing some hostility. Among them were several young men who had been beaten and were in a very sorry state.
Beside them stood a spring emitting a black light, the light from which caused the surrounding space to ripple.
"You useless bastards from the Qian family, you think you can oppose the Sima family? You're delusional!"
The young man in the lead spoke arrogantly, and as he spoke, he stomped his foot hard on the disheveled Qian family member.
Beside this member of the Qian family were several young men dressed in blue robes, exuding a strong sense of talent. Each of these young men had a very eye-catching symbol on their clothes.
A family of historians!
"Hmph, if you weren't a collateral branch of the Shi Sheng family, how could you be so unscrupulous!"
One of the Qian family members spat and said hatefully.
"What, you're still not convinced?"
As they spoke, the Sima family member's expression gradually darkened. He then kicked the Qian family servant several times, before a cold smile appeared on his lips. "Since you're not satisfied," he said, "then you'll have to pay a price. Go to the Yellow Springs and voice your grievances!"
After saying that, a fierce glint flashed in the man's eyes, and then he stomped his foot hard on the face of the Qian family servant. Judging from the posture, once he was stomped on, his brains would probably be splattered out!
This scene made everyone present look extremely ugly, especially the people from the Shi family, who did not expect that the other party really wanted to cause a death.
Although the Shi family is not afraid of anything, the loss of a life will affect their reputation, and it will be difficult to change people's minds then.
"stop!"
The leading scholar from the Shi family hurriedly spoke up, but the Sima family member kept resisting. A cold smile appeared on his lips, and he increased his speed even more.
If he could kill someone, it would be very likely that the Shi family would be on the same side as him.
"call out!"
However, at that moment, a purple leaf shot directly towards them, eventually blasting towards Sima Tan.
Upon sensing the sound of wind breaking through the air, Sima Tan's expression changed drastically, and he then dashed backward.
"Sima Tan, what are you doing!"
Shi Liu looked at Sima Tan with a cold gaze, seemingly having guessed the other's thoughts, and immediately rebuked him angrily.
"Brother Shi, you misunderstand. I have not done anything to dishonor the Shi family. I hope you will not take offense."
After speaking, Sima Tan looked into the distance, then said softly, "Which brother has ruined my plans? Dare to come out and show himself?"
"Your Sima family is utterly shameless! This document and inkstone were discovered jointly by us, and you injured members of my Qian family. Do you intend to monopolize it?!"
As Qian Wensong and the others emerged from the woods, the former, looking somewhat grim, spoke.
"So it's Brother Qian. My apologies, my apologies. I didn't intend to seize this document and inkstone; it's just that your Qian family is incompetent."
Sima Tan slapped his forehead and then said.
"you!"
These words immediately changed Qian Wensong's expression.
"Brother Sima, you are a collateral branch of the Shi family. I think you wouldn't dare to be so arrogant in opposing the Qian family without the Shi family's permission, would you?"
"Oh, I almost forgot to mention, you're almost like a dog on the street."
At this moment, Ye Ru stepped out, his words laced with sarcasm, and slowly addressed Sima Tan.
Upon hearing this, Sima Tan's face darkened. He had always been treated with respect in the Sima family for so many years, but today, he was actually scolded by a mere scholar.
"Who are you to dare interfere in the affairs of the Sima family? Do you have a death wish?!"
Then, Sima Tan angrily rebuked, and at this moment, the talent within his body was slowly activated.
Sensing this talent, Ye Ru smiled slightly, his expression unchanged. The other party's talent was nothing to him, and the other party was just a scholar who had passed the imperial examination. In the battle of wits, he had never been afraid of anyone.
"Who I am is irrelevant. Since I've been judged by the tribunal, I must naturally abide by the rules. People like you who outwardly comply but inwardly defy them don't deserve to be part of any wealthy family."
These words caused the faces of the Sima family members present to turn completely cold.
