Chapter 26: Master, I will not allow anyone to insult you! (Please follow!)

Hearing Ye Bonan's words, Liu Qingmei could not help but look a bit despondent.

She knew.

Ye Bonan's heart could no longer be turned back! But his words made Liu Qingmei very angry.

So he actually still harbored covetous thoughts toward her!

The woman he had his eyes on had become the new Head of the Family's wife; wasn't he talking about her?

Liu Qingmei's expression darkened.

At this moment.

Ye Bonan suddenly changed his tone, looked at Liu Qingmei, and said with a playful smile, "Young Lady Liu, the Ye Family of today is likely already at the end of its rope."

"For the sake of our past mutual admiration, I might as well tell you straight: the Ye Family is about to face a siege."

"Whether it be the martial arts world, the business path, or the Imperial Court, I will not disclose the specifics."

"That brat Ye Bufan's life or death is unknown, and I estimate he won't live much longer."

"Why not change your allegiance, Young Lady Liu, and become a concubine under my wing? How about that?"

"You are no longer a maiden waiting for marriage, but a faded flower; with the Lieyang Sect behind me, it wouldn't be an insult to you."

"What do you say?"

Ye Bonan was composed and relaxed, yet in his turbid old eyes, a burst of intense desire and covetousness erupted.

Liu Qingmei's expression turned terrifyingly cold.

At this very instant, she erupted with intense pressure.

How could an ordinary person withstand the aura of a Grandmaster?

Under this pressure, Ye Bonan's old face instantly turned pale, the covetous light in his eyes was replaced by fear, and a cold sweat broke out, soaking the clothes on his back.

And once Ye Bonan said this, not only did Liu Qingmei's expression turn cold, but Ye Yutan and Ning Mu were also incomparably angry! "Old thief, how dare you insult my aunt!"

Ye Yutan's eyes were splitting with rage as he glared at Ye Bonan; if not for the sake of family ties, he would have loved to draw his sword and finish him off! But Ning Mu had no such concerns.

Liu Qingmei had been insulted like this, and even though he was an outsider, he was incomparably angry in his heart.

"You old bastard, what the hell are you saying!"

He shouted in anger.

Ning Mu suddenly sprang up, without any flashy moves, drew the short dagger he used as an ornament from his waist, and attacked toward Ye Bonan.

Ye Bonan had never spent time cultivating and was just an ordinary person who had just entered the Opening Aperture Realm.

Coupled with his old and frail body, and being suppressed by Liu Qingmei's aura, he had no time to react before Ning Mu's short dagger was already pressed against his throat.

"Xiao Mu!"

Liu Qingmei reacted and hurriedly called out, wanting to stop him.

But Ning Mu just raised his head and gave Liu Qingmei a smile.

And at this time.

Ye Bonan, having reacted, was not afraid, but instead showed a mocking look with a calm face.

"Do you dare to kill me?"

"Grandmaster Liang Zhengang will be here in the time it takes to speak, and his brother Liang Zhenwu is a Divine Origin Realm expert. Killing me means offending the Lieyang Sect. Do you have the guts to do it?"

Ye Bonan mocked indifferently.

A pair of old eyes flashed with a sharp light, staring fixedly at Liu Qingmei, ignoring the blade pressed against his throat.

Hearing Ye Bonan's arrogant words, Liu Qingmei, who had originally wanted to stop him, furrowed her brows.

What she hated most was being threatened!

And Ye Yutan, who had originally been cheering inwardly, became a bit worried after hearing these words! If they really offended the Lieyang Sect.

The Ye Family... would likely not fare well!

Children of noble families are best at assessing the situation! It is just a pity.

Ye Bonan's arrogance did not last long.

Ning Mu grinned and said faintly, "Old bastard, I am not a member of the Ye Family, nor am I a disciple of Cangjian Villa. If I kill you, the people of the Lieyang Sect can come if they want. I don't believe that the dignified Lieyang Sect would risk their lives for an old dog like you?"

Once these words were spoken, Ye Bonan, who had been pretending to be calm, finally panicked.

"Little brother, there is no need for this. If you let me go, I can give you whatever you want!"

"Xiao Mu, be careful!"

Liu Qingmei also hurriedly spoke to stop him.

Although she hated being threatened, the big picture was what mattered.

She understood that now was not the best time to kill Ye Bonan.

Killing Ye Bonan would vent her anger, but it would not only offend the Lieyang Sect but also bring trouble from the Imperial Court!

Killing someone in a busy market is not the same as a fight in the martial arts world.

If one encountered the kind of stubborn, incorruptible official, it would also be no small trouble!

Ning Mu raised his head, a flash of possessiveness and desire appearing perfectly in his eyes as he looked at Liu Qingmei and said calmly, "Master, I will not allow anyone to insult you like this!"

As his voice fell.

The dagger slashed fiercely.

Ignoring Ye Bonan's attempts to curry favor, Ning Mu decisively slit his throat.

Fresh blood immediately spurted out, and even Ye Yutan's hem was stained with quite a bit.

Instantly.

Ye Bonan was seen clutching his neck, gasping for air with difficulty, but a large amount of blood poured out from his throat; he was already breathing his last. His old eyes turned white, filled with deep anxiety and the fear of facing death. He opened his mouth to call for help, but with his throat slit, apart from the sound of blood gurgling out, he could not make any sound at all.

He could only fall from that dignified armchair to the ground while struggling.

Ning Mu's words made Liu Qingmei's eyebrows lift slightly, and the corners of her mouth curled into a gentle arc unconsciously; her heart was naturally filled with immense joy.

So the feeling of being cared about by someone is this wonderful! Yet from her husband, she had never experienced such care...

Liu Qingmei shook her head helplessly; watching Ye Bonan, who was gradually approaching death, her expression turned gloomy, and she could only heave a sigh.

"Heaven-sent disasters may be avoided! Self-inflicted ones leave no room for survival!" One cannot blame others; the path to death was one Ye Bonan chose himself.

Even if he did not die at Ning Mu's hands today, he would surely have been secretly executed by Ye Family assassins another day.

How could such a family traitor be allowed to remain at large?

It was merely a matter of time!

【Your firm defense has made the owner of the Number One Sub-System, Liu Qingmei, feel intensely cared for. Liu Qingmei's Loyalty Value has increased by 3%; current Loyalty Value is 24%!】

"Xiao Mu... sigh!"

"You are too impulsive!"

Ye Bonan was thoroughly dead; Liu Qingmei gave Ning Mu a reproachful glare. Although her words were of blame, both her tone and her gaze carried deep doting and a touch of joy.

That little expression of hers was almost melting into silk.

As for the corpse on the ground, she paid it no mind.

These words fell into the ears of Ye Yutan, immediately making his expression incredibly complex; the look he gave Ning Mu was filled with envy and jealousy.

If he had known it would be like this, he should have made his move first! An opportunity to perform in front of his young aunt had been handed over to someone else just like that!

Looking again at that smug little expression on Ning Mu's face...

He really deserved to die!

It was clear that just yesterday, he was still hanging around brothels.

Why is it that his young aunt doesn't care at all! "Young Aunt, let's leave quickly, otherwise the people from the Lieyang Sect will be here soon!"

Ye Yutan seized the opportunity to perform and said hurriedly.

He did not want his young aunt and Ning Mu to keep staring at each other like this; if they delayed any longer, he feared their gazes would become entangled! "How should the matters here be handled?"

Liu Qingmei's beautiful eyes turned, returning to their cold composure, as she looked at Ye Yutan and asked.

Seeing that his young aunt had finally realized his existence, Ye Yutan's eyes lit up instantly. After a moment of thought, he hurriedly performed: "In my opinion, all the staff in Ye Bonan's residence should be killed. They all know we were here. Before the Grandmaster from the Lieyang Sect arrives, we should burn everything clean. In this way, the Lieyang Sect will have no evidence and will be unable to blame the Ye Family!"

"Young Aunt, what do you think?"

Ye Yutan believed he had given the correct answer and looked at Liu Qingmei with hopeful eyes, wishing to see satisfaction and praise for him on his young aunt's face.
