Chapter 45: Righteous Words

  Yue Yu first smiled gratefully at the old shopkeeper, then without hesitation waved away the old man's hand. With a smile unique to young masters, he strode to Yue Bingqian's side.

  "What are you arguing with him for? How dare he be so arrogant here! I think he really doesn't want to live!"

  As soon as he appeared, Yue Yu almost attracted everyone's attention. There were people in the crowd who were disdainful, coldly smiling, and unclear about his background, scratching their heads in confusion. But Yue Yu seemed to see nothing, standing on the steps with a condescending attitude, calmly gazing at the burly man in front of him whose face had already turned bright red.

  "Are you Mo Ze? I'll ask you one last time. Are you going to leave on your own or wait for someone to carry you out?"

  Before the words had fallen, Yue Yu felt someone secretly pulling his sleeve again. He didn't bother to turn around and simply waved his sleeve open once more. "This time you don't need to worry about it, Mother is not here, I'm in charge here!"

  Yue Bingqian's face turned iron-green with rage. She thought to herself, if things were really that simple, I would have had these people thrown out of the city long ago, why wait for you to arrive?

  At the same time, she was also secretly amazed. Since the beginning of her memory, she had never heard her brother speak in such a decisive and overbearing tone.

  That tall man was initially stunned, then reacted with a loud laugh filled with tragic emotions. "Haha! Indeed, might makes right! Fine, I, Mo Ze, have already lost all hope of survival anyway. Let's see how you, Shun Fu, plan to carry us out!"

  As soon as the words fell, the dozens of sturdy men with mourning attire behind Han Zhe had already pressed their hands to their waists. The entire entrance was suddenly tense and ready for a fight.

  Yue Yu took a few steps back, seemingly intimidated by Han Ze's aura. However, without making a sound, he subtly pushed Yue Bingqian to a safe distance behind him. Amidst the surrounding crowd's laughter, Yue Yu suddenly straightened up, clenched his fists, and shouted, "Listen up, everyone! These people are really too much, I, Yue Yu, will make them die here today! However, my family runs a medicine shop, so it's not convenient for us to get involved in bloody affairs. Therefore, I ask everyone to lend a hand! Regardless of gender or age, whoever brings me a head can exchange it for five taels of silver. In the future, they will receive an 8% discount on up to 30 pills per month. Additionally, for every martial artist's head, they can also get 30 taels of silver!"

  Yue Bingqian was originally extremely anxious, but when she heard this, she suddenly opened her eyes wide with an incredulous gaze, staring at Yue Yu's back.

  The people around, at this moment, are also gradually becoming more and more anxious. Five taels of silver is enough for a person to live comfortably in the city of Yue for two years. Thirty pellets of medicine may not be a lot, but if sold to others, it would accumulate into a considerable amount of money over time.

  The people who claim to be from Mo Village in front of the store look tough, but there are also many onlookers around. If they were to fight at the same time, it's not necessarily impossible to gain an advantage. For a moment, no one cares about the right or wrong of this matter anymore.

  On the other side, the group of people that Yue Yu had been secretly paying attention to were also showing different expressions. Yue Youcheng's face had already regained its calmness, and his eyes even showed a hint of appreciation. And as for Hong Fei, who had originally been coldly observing from the sidelines, the anger on his face was becoming increasingly apparent.

  Yue Yu's greatest concern was Yue Feng, this young man with a deep and complex personality, who still didn't have any expression on his face.

  It was the burly man in front of him who looked stunned, as if he didn't dare to believe Yue Yu's words. The big men and women behind him were even more flustered. Several children also felt the tense atmosphere and stopped crying.

  "You don't look like a kid at all, but you're still so young, yet your heart is already so cruel and vicious!"

  It wasn't until half a day later that Mo Ze finally managed to speak up, his voice trembling and hoarse, while his eyes seemed like those of a beast on the verge of death.

  "So you mean to say that you really want to annihilate us all here?"

  "Kill them all? Hehe! Is that enough?"

  Yue Yu's lips curled into a smile, revealing a set of snow-white teeth as fine as rice grains. Then, with an extremely serious gaze, he stared at Mo Ze: "After today, I will definitely abandon you in the wilderness and let your corpses be devoured by beasts! As for your identities and backgrounds, I will exhaust all my life's efforts to investigate them one by one, and make sure that you are cut off from having any descendants!"

  The words that followed, Yue Yu almost recited word for word. His voice was soft and sweet, still carrying the awkwardness of a young man before his voice changed, but to the people around him, it seemed as if every word was like a heavy tripod, every sentence weighed a thousand jun, and their bodies surged with a chill. Not only the men and women in mourning clothes at the door, but even the martial artist guarding the medicine shop, Wu Fang, had a slightly changed expression.

  Mo Ze only felt a strong dizziness in his brain, with surging blood and energy in his chest and abdomen, and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. When he gradually came to, thinking of seeking revenge against Yue Yu, he found that the clear and handsome youth had retreated several steps again, while the few martial artists opposite him took a slight step forward, shielding him within.

  Mo Ze was both angry and anxious, forcing himself to calm down, thinking about how to resolve the current predicament in his mind. However, at this time, Yue Yu's complacent voice sounded again.

  "Gentlemen, listen up! My Shunfu Pharmacy will be launching a new medicine tomorrow. The newly formulated Buqi Pill has an efficacy that surpasses similar pills by 20%. If you are willing to lend me a hand and support Shunfu Pharmacy, in the future, you can come and take three pills for free every year!"

  Ran Li was stunned, thinking to himself that this young master of his family was indeed a freak. This time not only could all the influences be eliminated, but also their pharmacy's new medicine was promoted at the same time.

  He glanced up at the crowd across from him, and found that their intentions were becoming increasingly obvious. The Buqi Pill was already a highly priced medicine on the market, with a price of one or two taels of silver. Even if it didn't have the effects that Yue Yu had mentioned, selling it would still bring in three to four taels of silver. At this moment, some people had already rolled up their sleeves to their elbows, and although there was still a hint of hesitation in their expressions, the fierce light in their eyes was growing stronger by the second. It was just that they were temporarily intimidated by the large number of Mohist disciples and powerful warriors, so no one dared to take action alone. But once this balance was broken, it was likely that these Mohist disciples would be torn apart by the surging crowd in an instant!

  Ran Li smiled, knowing that Yue Yu wanted exactly this effect. Once such a situation occurred, even if there were rumors afterwards, they could be completely dispelled. In the Yue family's castle, who wasn't a cunning person? If the wound medicine really had problems, why would many people still scramble for it?

  Yue Yu had been using the corner of his eye to observe Yue Feng all along, until this moment, when the young man's eyes narrowed slightly.

  As the onlookers began to move their feet in the direction of the Mohist group, slowly closing in step by step. The young master of Dan Yun City, who was standing in front of Yue Feng, finally couldn't bear it and walked out from the crowd.

  "Stop!"

  The voice was clear and unparalleled, yet carried a faint sense of majesty. As if sensing the extraordinary identity of the white-clothed youth, the murmurs in the crowd gradually subsided.

  Did it really come? Yue Yu's lip corners rose slightly, and his expression was still arrogant as usual. Only Ran Li, the bodyguard by his side, vaguely sensed that his young master seemed to have smiled just now.

  "Longing to fly high!"

  The young man in white first nodded towards Yue Yu's direction as a courtesy, with a warm smile like jade. "I also heard some of the right and wrong between you two just now. This Brother Mo has indeed been improper, but you wanted to kill him for one word that didn't match, this handling is also too excessive. In my opinion, why not follow what that little sister behind you said, and invite people from the Leicheng Medicine Pavilion to make a public judgment?"

  Yue Yu's eyes blinked, and with a surprised expression, she stared straight at Hong Fei: "Who are you? How dare you come and ask about my family's affairs? Are you also thinking of being carried away while lying down?"

  Yue Bingqian's face turned slightly pale, while Hong Fei's face also clearly turned green. "I am the young master of Dan Yun City, I don't know if this identity is enough?"

  "Is this the Young Master of Cloud City? Haha! I really didn't show enough respect."

  Yue Yu's expression suddenly turned icy cold after a brief moment of calm. "I'd like to know, since when did Danyun City have the authority to interfere with my Yue family?"
