Chapter 242 So bold
On the way back to Li Qingyun's residence, Chen Dao glanced back at Xie Chunyu, who was following behind him with her head down, under the moonlight, and couldn't help but ask, "How did you end up selling yourself into prostitution?"
Xie Chunyu seemed surprised that Chen Dao would speak to her. After a moment of hesitation, she said, "I was sold to a brokerage firm by my father..."
Xie Chunyu slowly recounted her story.
After listening, Chen Dao, Li Qingyun, Xu Zhiwen and others all frowned.
"If I'm not mistaken..."
Li Qingyun pondered and said, "The one who coerced her family and burned their farmland must have been someone sent by the Sun family."
Although Xia Kingdom does not prohibit knives, ordinary people rarely own such weapons; at most, they might have a kitchen knife at home. However, the thieves who burned down Xie Chunyu's farmland all had knives, which clearly indicates that they were not ordinary people.
Combined with the Sun family's act of seizing land from ordinary people, it's easy to guess the identities of that group.
"The Sun family is truly wicked beyond measure."
Xu Zhiwen shook his head vigorously.
The evil deeds of the Sun family are even worse than those of the Yuan family in Taiping County. At least the Yuan family had some sense of shame in their actions, but the Sun family not only seized the people's land on a large scale, but also openly ran brothels. For the sake of profit, they didn't even care about having a shred of shame, which is truly despicable.
Are you planning to stay with us indefinitely?
Chen Dao looked at Xie Chunyu and asked.
"I want to go back and see my parents."
Xie Chunyu said softly, "I miss them very much."
Chen Dao nodded and said to Li Qingyun, "Magistrate Li, this girl is now in your care. After the Sun family matter is over, send her home."
Many people saw Xie Chunyu's appearance when she was in Dingchun Tower. If she goes back now, she will inevitably suffer retaliation from the Sun family. It would be safer to send her back to her parents after dealing with the Sun family.
"Row."
Li Qingyun nodded in agreement, and then the group fell silent, walking towards Li Qingyun's residence under the moonlight.
And at the same time.
At the gate of the Sun family mansion, the Sun family warriors guarding the gate looked at the disheveled group in front of them and asked in confusion, "Master Wang, Master Zhang, what happened to you? Why are you in such a sorry state?"
"We have important news to inform Patriarch Sun! Let us in immediately."
The man called Master Wang said breathlessly.
"This……"
The Sun family warriors hesitated slightly. At this time, the patriarch was probably already asleep, and waking him up would be rather impolite.
"Don't hesitate!"
Master Wang hurriedly said, "Young Master Sun has been kidnapped by thieves, and Dingchun Tower has also been destroyed by them. Quickly take us to see Master Sun!"
"what?!"
The Sun family warriors were startled and dared not delay any longer. They hurriedly opened the gate of the Sun family, led everyone into the hall, and then went to the backyard to wake up Sun Ren, who had already fallen asleep.
A quarter of an hour later, Sun Ren stared at Wang Yuanwai and the others with a grim face and said in a deep voice, "My son has been kidnapped?"
"Not bad!"
Master Wang nodded and quickly recounted everything that had just happened inside Dingchun Tower.
"What a courage!"
Sun Ren slammed his hand on the armrest of the chair, shattering it into pieces: "These thieves have some nerve, daring to act like this!"
After his anger subsided, Sun Ren asked again, "You say that among those bandits, Magistrate Li Qingyun was also there?"
"Not bad!"
Master Wang nodded and said, "The thieves who are with Li Qingyun also said that Young Master Sun is in their hands. If the Sun family wants to rescue Young Master Sun, they should take the Fire Pattern Fruit to Li Qingyun's residence to exchange for it!"
"Good good!"
Sun Ren was so angry that he laughed. He felt that the thieves who were with Li Qingyun had eaten the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were incredibly audacious!
For so many years, no one in Ding'an County has dared to provoke the Sun family, but now someone has suddenly appeared.
"Sun Zhi".
Sun Ren turned to the Sun family steward beside him and said, "Summon the martial artists in the family. I want that Li Qingyun dead!"
Filled with rage, Sun Ren no longer cared about Li Qingyun's identity; he only wanted Li Qingyun dead!
"Yes!"
Sun Zhi quickly got to work, waking up the warriors of the clan one by one from their sleep. Then, led by Sun Ren, they left the Sun family and headed straight for Li Qingyun's residence.
However, what Sun Ren and the others did not notice was that in the shadows outside the Sun family mansion, four figures that seemed to blend into the night were watching them from afar.
"What are the Sun family up to in the middle of the night?"
One of the four spoke with a puzzled look on his face. If Chen Dao were here, he would definitely recognize that this person was one of the three White Lotus Sect believers he had encountered before.
And in front of this person was the one they called the Incense Master.
The man known as the Incense Master frowned and said, "The Sun family must have made such a big fuss because something major must have happened."
"What major event in Ding'an County could possibly warrant such a massive mobilization from the Sun family?"
A man standing behind the incense master asked, "The Sun family is undoubtedly the dominant force in Ding'an County. No one in the entire county can shake the Sun family's position."
However, at this time, the Sun family sent out a large number of martial artists, clearly because they had encountered a powerful enemy.
"I don't know!"
The sect leader shook his head and continued, "However, this is a good thing for us. The large-scale mobilization of the Sun family's martial artists will be more beneficial to our operations!"
After saying that, the incense master waved his hand and said, "Alright! Let's get started! Try to take the most valuable items."
As soon as he finished speaking, the incense master took the lead and stealthily made his way towards the Sun family under the moonlight.
The three people behind him also spread out and silently sneaked into the Sun family's residence.

Li Qingyun's residence.
Chen Dao and the others, who had already settled Xie Chunyu in the mansion, stood outside the gate, quietly waiting for the Sun family to arrive.
The night grew deeper and the temperature dropped further, but fortunately, apart from Li Qingyun, everyone else was a martial artist and was not afraid of the severe cold.
"coming!"
At this moment, Xu Zhiwen stared intently ahead and saw a faint light appear there, which gradually grew larger in his vision.
Immediately afterwards, one figure after another appeared in Xu Zhiwen's field of vision.
"Li Qingyun."
Sun Ren stopped and looked at Li Qingyun, who was hiding behind Chen Dao and the others, and shouted angrily, "Release my son!"
Upon hearing this, Li Qingyun remained unmoved.
Chen Dao grabbed Sun Ye by the neck and lifted the unconscious Sun Ye up, saying, "Sun Ye is right here. Where is the Fire Pattern Fruit?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Ren looked at Sun Ye, who was being carried by Chen Dao, and almost exploded with anger!
At this moment, Sun Ye was completely unrecognizable. His face was swollen like a pig's head, covered in bruises. If he hadn't been so familiar with Sun Ye, he probably wouldn't have recognized him!
