Chapter 84: The Pride of a Warrior [Seeking Follow-up Reading]

Only people of the same kind can understand people of the same kind.

Xu Shenghong thought that he and Wei Mingqi were of the same kind, the only difference between him and Wei Mingqi was that he did not have such a good talent in martial arts, nor such good luck.

Precisely because of a certain degree of understanding, Xu Shenghong had a suffocating feeling of struggling on the line between life and death. He had no doubt that if he had not "weighed" it carefully just now, this devil would have dared to twist his head off.

From now on, he and his father had guessed correctly. When dealing with people like Wei Mingqi, your waist and knees must be soft, so he has to please Wei Mingqi the same way Zhou Liang had pleased him in the past.

So Xu Shenghong, who was slapped twice, laughed even more happily: "If that's the case, then I didn't deserve these two slaps. Young Master, when you go home this time, please tell me anything. Our Xu family will never say no."

"..."

Wei Mingqi ignored him and turned to look at the little white flower stained with blood next to him. The latter was looking at the scene in a daze, but no one knew what he was thinking.

"You see it."

He stretched out his fingers to wipe the scarlet on her face, and said in a comforting voice: "When you are as powerful as me one day, all you can see around you, whether it's the people or ghosts, are smiling faces."

Xu Shenghong's smile froze for a moment, but soon became natural again.

No matter what the other party says, he doesn't consider himself a human being anyway. Whether he lies on the ground or exposes his belly, no matter what, only living people have the right to speak.

"Let's go——"

Wei Mingqi stepped onto the carriage and said, "Let me see your Xu family's sincerity."

"I guarantee your satisfaction."

Xu Shenghong was busy running around like a servant. After the three people got on the carriage, he didn't even get on the horse brought by the servants. He just trotted beside the carriage to serve them.

After the group left, Xu Yan stood there thoughtfully. She already had a vague idea in her heart who the older brother was, but he was different from her brother's mother. After what she had experienced, it was difficult for her to feel hatred towards this person.

But why is it that Dad was only a subordinate of Big Brother in the prophecy, but was held accountable by the clan as if he had committed a heinous crime, while Big Brother in the clan was really licking him, and the people around him were indifferent?
"When you become as powerful as me, all you'll see around you, be it people or ghosts, are smiling faces."

"Xiaoyan!"

Xu Min, who was informed by a kind person, hurried over and pulled her to his side, saying anxiously: "I heard that family wants to take you back, what's going on? Where are they——"

The blacksmith, with his shirt uncovered and covered in sweat, looked around warily, his face full of anger.

Now he doesn't think about the family feud anymore and just wants to raise his youngest sister. But that group of people wants to kill her?
Xu Yan pulled him and whispered what had happened. Then, facing her stunned brother, she took out the golden bean from her bosom and gave it to him:
"Brother, can I learn martial arts in the future?"

"..."

On the other side, Xu Yisheng, who had received the news, had already arrived in front of the fort. When he saw the carriage, he took two servants and took a few steps forward. He bowed deeply and said:

"My humble servant Xu Yisheng greets His Excellency the Commander—"

Hearing this, the two servants behind Xu Yisheng, who were hired at a high price by the Xu family, were somewhat disapproving.

Not to mention Wei Mingqi's reputation, just based on his currently well-known achievements, it is too much for the Sir to treat him so modestly.

The most famous thing he did was killing Song Chaozhen. It is true that he was a master of the upper class, but it was not enough to make Xu Jiabao, a superior force with abundant wealth, suffer such a fate.

But who can blame them for having a solid backing from the imperial court? Therefore, even if they couldn't stand it, these two priests just kept silent and didn't do anything stupid. If they were asked to follow, they would not do so because of their pride.

The carriage in front stopped, and Wei Mingqi got out of it, but he didn't even look at Xu Yisheng in front of him. He walked straight past him and looked at the fort not far away:
"Your family has built a really impressive city, with a moat, a thousand-jin iron gate, and even crossbows and cannons on the top of the city walls. You are indeed a family that started out as a military equipment dealer. If the situation in the world changes, you will be qualified to start a war and compete for supremacy."

"..."

Xu Yisheng's expression froze for a moment, and he turned to look at his son, only to see that the latter was silent like a chicken. He should not have offended the other party, right? "What the commander said was too scary."

Xu Yisheng stood up and followed him, smiling apologetically, "It's just that the world is not fair nowadays, and there are bullies coming through the border from time to time. I have no choice but to do this in order to keep my family safe."

Wei Mingqi smiled and stopped talking.

"These two are Guo Di, the master of the Southern Leg, and Ye Peng, the master of the Iron Wire Palm. They are both guests of the Xu family."

After Xu Yisheng introduced the two middle-aged men in front of him, he said calmly:

"You two, this is Lord Wei Mingqi, the commander of the Blue Dragon Command of the Western Palace."

"..."

Seeing that Wei Mingqi had an arrogant attitude since he got off the car, the two priests were even more displeased. Upon hearing his words, they just glanced at him coldly without saying a word.

Most warriors with a little capital are like this.

"Well, let's go in first."

After hearing what Xu Yishen said, Guo Ye and the others, who had long wanted to stop serving here, immediately turned around and tried to leave, but were stopped by Xu Yishen, who did not allow them to walk ahead of Wei Mingqi.

"Master Wei, please go first..."

"Um?!"

Ye Peng, who had the hottest temper among the two, glared at him, slapped his hand away and said, "Xu, what do you mean? He with the surname Wei is your biological father, right? I can't even walk ahead of him?"

"Uh--"

Xu Yisheng's face turned red: "Lord Wei is a guest, Brother Ye, don't be angry, I treat you as a family member."

"What a shitty family!"

Guo Di did not hesitate to stand with Ye Peng at this moment: "When he comes, you call us brothers to pick him up. If you want to lick his ass, that's your business. We brothers are not that cheap. If we leave your Xujiabao, will we have nowhere to go?"

After saying that, the two of them walked forward angrily, without waiting for Xu Yisheng to show regret in his eyes. When Ye Peng walked in front of Wei Mingqi, he actually turned his head and glanced at him with disdain, and then -

"Pooh."

A mouthful of thick phlegm landed not far from his feet. Ye Peng suddenly felt pleased. He raised his head and took two steps forward.

"return."

A smiling voice came from behind:

"Lick it back up the way you spit it out."

Ye Peng's feverish mind had sobered up a little at this moment, but it was not so easy to make him surrender, not to mention the tone of this Wei -

Woo!
Suddenly a sharp whistle came from behind, Ye Peng was startled, and without thinking, he turned around and put his pair of black hands in front of him to protect himself.

"Hiss-"

A slender hand that looked a bit feminine grabbed his hand, and at the same time as faint blue veins emerged, Ye Peng's pair of "thread" palms that had been tempered by countless iron sands day and night actually made a creepy bone-breaking sound!
Despite such a horrifying move, the young man with cold eyes stared at him and said slowly:

"You are being used as a pawn and you don't even know it. You are such a fool. No wonder you have to beg for food at other people's houses even after becoming a master."
