Upon hearing this, Ye Qiuyang looked at Master Zhang and said, "What do you mean? Aren't you afraid that my grandpa will abuse you like a dog?"
Master Zhang laughed heartily upon hearing this. "Ye Qiuyang, don't listen to your nonsense. Tell your grandfather that I, Zhang Grandmaster, say so. Who is he? If he's not satisfied, let him come and challenge me. Your Xingluocheng people are not worthy of our Yundocheng people! If you want to fight, let it be outside. Second-in-command Qu will make you know why flowers are so red!"
Ye Qiuyang couldn't believe what Master Zhang said. "Zhang Grandpa, did you drink too much last night and haven't woken up yet? Do you really have no idea who you are? Are you really not afraid of my grandfather? Or have you given up on yourself? How old are you and still act like a child. You don't think before doing things, I feel embarrassed for you. Being the last place for years is fine but still don't know how to feel ashamed, how dare you disobey me and curse my grandfather. Zhang Grandpa, do you know how to die?"
Master Zhang was so angry that he shook with rage. "You little beast, listen well, you were born a wastrel, and don't know who you are anymore? You're just the grandson of the Lord of Xingluocheng. Why is your face so big? Even if your grandfather were to show himself before me, he wouldn't dare to act like that. You're just a silly young child who dares to challenge my authority. Are you crazy enough to want me to help you find Xiao Yawen? I know where she is, but I won't tell you. She lives happily at home every day. Just because you're an uneducated scum, you don't deserve to marry Xiao Yawen. Dream on! If you really want to see her, it's not a problem. I will have her and her fiancé come over in a bit. Just remember, don't faint when you see them."
Ye Qiuyang, upon hearing this, looked at Master Zhang and said, "You old fool, do you know what you're saying? Do you want to die? This is courting death. No one can save you. If my grandfather knows what you've said, he will peel the skin off of you. With just one slap from my grandpa, I'll kill a tiny star realm warrior like you! You've degenerated to this level and still dare to speak out here. I'm really embarrassed for you. After a thousand years of following me, nothing has changed. I don't know if your mind is muddled by anger or if there's water in your brain or even a hemorrhage that's pressing on other nerves!"
Master Zhang laughed heartily upon hearing this. "You little scoundrel, do you really think I fear your grandfather, that old cad? Let me tell you the truth, your grandfather is just wind in front of me. What's the big deal about that dog-eared Lord Ye? I'm not even interested in dealing with him. Your proud grandfather means nothing to me! I advise you to go back where you came from and hurry up and get out of here before you make me sick. Take back the things your grandfather gave you, and tell him that he's not worth it; keep them for his coffin instead!"
Upon hearing these words, Ye Qiuyang immediately became enraged. "You old man, do you want to die? Such words as these, my grandfather even if he kills you, the Great Sage Emperor Yellow Zeng Tian would not say anything. You're courting death yourself. If you really want to die, don't blame me for being ruthless towards you. I warn you, the strength of Chao Yanzheng is equivalent to mine. Even if he can't kill you, he can't do much to you either. I originally thought that he should teach them a lesson as the vice-commander of the Yundocheng city. But it seems that you really want to die, so don't blame me for being merciless towards you. Chao Yanzheng, don't spare him and kill their vice-commander directly and properly torture him until he knows the consequences of offending me. I even don't want him to live anymore, but if possible, just leave him disabled is enough for me, otherwise it will be hard to explain myself. Deal with them well and let's all go to the Xiao family with Xiao Yawen. If the Xiao family follows orders willingly, we can let them live; otherwise, let us all destroy them!"
Subordinate Statistician Chao Yanzheng nodded hurriedly upon hearing this. "Please rest assured, my lord, this matter will be handled by me according to your orders. Who is the vice-commander of the Yundocheng city? Come out and die!"
Qu Honghai laughed heartily upon hearing this. He walked proudly to the middle of the courtyard, saying, "My grandfather, Qu Honghai, is the vice-commander of Yundoucheng city. You are the vice-commander of Xingluocheng city, Chao Yanzheng. Today, we shall settle this with a duel to the death! I wonder if you dare!"
Chao Yanzheng laughed upon hearing this. "Yundocheng city has many people who don't know when to die. The Lord of the city is like this, so it's no wonder that his subordinates are idiots. Who's afraid of whom? Let's write a life and death contract right now!"
Ye Qiuyang chuckled. "Such a queue for a fight, it's too incredible. Commander Chao Yanzheng, today I'll let you have your fill of killing. It doesn't matter who it is; I won't let any of them go. If anything happens, I'll take the blame. Go ahead and act without hesitation, I don't believe you're afraid of them!"
Qu Honghai became impatient upon hearing this. "Are you still going to fight? If you're going to fight, hurry up and sign the contract, and if not, get out of here quickly! I don't have time to waste on you!"
Chao Yanzheng, the deputy commander, upon hearing this, was so angry that he puffed out his mustache and glared. "You're asking for it! Since you're in such a hurry to die, I'll grant your wish. He signed the contract after finishing it!"
Qu Honghai saw this and didn't hesitate; he took a pen and signed the contract immediately!
Ye Qiuyang laughed heartily upon seeing this. "Don't be polite, Commander Chao Yanzheng. Let them know the strength of Xingluocheng!"
Subordinate Statistician Chao Yanzheng, upon hearing this, hurriedly bowed and said, "Please rest assured, my lord. I will make him know what it means to die with his eyes wide open!" After speaking, he delivered a swift move to seal his opponent's throat!
Qu Honghai laughed heartily upon seeing this. "You dare to play with fire in front of a master? Let me show you what kind of gap there is between us. Old man, I'll grab your sword with my bare hands and let you see the strength of Yundoucheng city!" As he spoke, Qu Honghai did not use any special techniques. When he saw the sword was only 20 centimeters away from him, he calmly lifted his hand and easily pinched the sword between his fingers!
The people in the audience saw this scene and were all stunned. What's going on? How can such a weak-looking vice-commander's strength be higher than that of Chang Honghai, a vice-commander from Yundoucheng city, by a significant margin? At least a large realm higher, right? Otherwise, how could he do that? How is it possible that someone would be able to grab the sword of another vice-commander with their bare hands if Yundoucheng city's strength is incredibly low? Something seems to be wrong somewhere.
Ye Qiuyang saw this and was dumbfounded. This wasn't the cloud city revealed by his grandfather. The vice-commander's strength was already on par with his grandfather's. What realm would Master Zhang Tianshi be at? Did the people of cloud city have been hiding their strength all these years? What were they trying to achieve by doing so? As he pondered over this,
Qu Honghai chuckled. "The vice-commander of Xingluocheng isn't that strong either. For someone with such a weak power to dare to act recklessly in Yundoucheng city, well, let your soul be scattered!" He finished with a slap, killing Commander Chao Yanzheng on the spot. As Commander Chao's soul departed, Qu Honghai flew up and grabbed it firmly. "You daring thing, you dared to show disrespect to the city master! Your grandfather Qu demands that your soul be scattered," he said as he tightly grasped the spirit. With a loud cry, Commander Chao's soul dispersed into nothingness!
Ye Qiuyang saw this and shouted, "No!" Then he was so scared that he wet his pants!
At this moment, Mu Wenjie and Xiao Yawen happened to arrive at the City Lord's Mansion!
Master Zhang Tianshi looked at Mu Wenjie with genuine affection! It's truly enviable. "Association President Mu, you're here, and so is the association president's wife. Please have a seat for the association president and his wife!"
Immediately, someone brought over two master chairs.
Master Zhang Tianshi looked at Mu Wenjie with a laugh and said, "Association President Mu, please have a seat. And your wife, too." He then pointed at Ye Qiuyang, who was lying on the ground in a state of shock. "Such a worthless scum dare to have an inappropriate thought about my wife's beauty? He has no idea how to live!" Now that everything is over, bring the gifts sent by Ye City Master to my wife. Just consider this as compensation for Ye Qiuyang's actions. He has been too afraid to step out for so long because of his harassment of my wife. It's only fair to give him some compensation. Even if Ye City Master asks, I will say the same thing! Causing so much harm to someone else, it's only right to offer some compensation. If it comes down to it, I'll go with him to argue with Great Sage Emperor Yellow Zeng Tian!"
Mu Wenjie looked at Master Zhang Tianshi and said, "City Lord, this might not be very appropriate. We can do without these things!"
Master Zhang Tianshi laughed heartily upon hearing this. "I see, Mr. Mu, I think this matter has nothing to do with you. Why are you being so polite?" He said to Mu Wenjie, "These things are compensation for the damage caused by the grandson of the Xingluocheng City Lord to my wife. You have no right to refuse it! How can you decide for others? My wife is a resident of my Yundoucheng city. Everything about her is under my control as the city lord!" Master Zhang Tianshi then took the gifts from Ye Qiuyang and handed them to Mu Wenjie, saying, "Accept these things on behalf of my wife. I will settle this matter!"
Xiao Yawen looked at Mu Wenjie and giggled, "Thank you, City Lord, for settling this matter on my behalf. I am filled with gratitude to the City Lord!"
Master Zhang Tianshi shook his head upon hearing this. "Please, Lady Mo, do not say that. My wife has heard about your exceptional beauty and virtue, and she is very eager to meet you. I wonder if you would do me the favor?"
Xiao Yawen looked at Mu Wenjie and giggled. "As a commoner, I am very grateful for the City Lord's great love. Please allow me to follow your people!"
Master Zhang Tianshi nodded upon hearing this. "Bring Lady Mo to the back hall to meet my wife!"
Ye Qiuyang watched Xiao Yawen being taken away and his anger was boiling. "You Zhang, don't you fear revenge from my grandfather?"
Master Zhang Tianshi looked at Ye Qiuyang and said, "As for you, dare to threaten me? Bring me a slap. After beating him until he can't recognize his face, ask him if his thick skin hurts. Association President Mu, let's go to my office to drink tea and chat. Wait for them to report after they finish slapping him!"
Mu Wenjie looked at Master Zhang Tianshi and nodded. "It would be a great help if City Lord could assist with this!"
