Chapter 2324

For Ye Zhangqing, the matter is not troublesome.

It was nothing more than that the girl, when young, was bought by the Wu clan, one of the immortal families of this city, and can be said to be a slave of the Wu family.

Over these many years, the Wu family, not knowing what the situation was, has continuously drawn blood from the girl's body.

I don't know what it was used for, but this also let the girl suffer unbearable torment, so she had the idea to escape.

But she alone could not possibly escape the Wu family's grasp, so she sought Ye Zhangqing's help.

Ye Zhangqing also wondered what the Wu family wanted the girl's blood for.

"Could it be because of the Wu tribe's bloodline in her body?"

At first sight of the girl in the daytime, Ye Zhangqing saw that this girl, like Miao Qianqian, was from the Western Border Wu tribe.

This is not really strange; it's just that I wonder what is special about the Wu tribe's bloodline, and I've never heard Miao Qianqian mention it.

After thinking about it and not figuring it out, Ye Zhangqing also couldn't be bothered to waste his mental energy.

Anyway, the girl looks promising, she is talent; taking her under my command, I could entrust her with important duties.

Ye Zhangqing never took the Wu family to heart from beginning to end.

Although the Wu family is undoubtedly the great clan of this city, it is limited only to this city's territory.

Tomorrow I will personally go and take that girl away.

By then, even if I don't arrange for her to stay in this city, I will arrange for her elsewhere, starting with managing a shop, and gradually train her.

Ye Zhangqing's side had simple thoughts, while on the other side, inside a secret chamber of the Wu family.

At this moment, several core members of the Wu family sat together, each with a solemn face, worried.

The Wu family patriarch seated on the main seat slowly swept his gaze over those present, then spoke in a hoarse voice.

"A bunch of good-for-nothings, can't even keep watch over a little girl, letting her run away."

"Patriarch, this matter is our fault; we are willing to accept punishment."

Hearing this, the Wu family clan head lowered his head and said.

That day, the girl running to the canteen was indeed their mistake, a moment of carelessness.

After all these years, the girl had been well controlled, showing no abnormal behavior; who could have thought that today such a thing would happen?

"Hmph, what's the use of saying these now? Even if you were cut to pieces, could you change the fact?"

"Don't you know who is behind the canteen?"

"Patriarch..................."

Ye Zhangqing is the behind-the-scenes master of the canteen; this matter is not hard to investigate, and it's not even really a secret.

Even if one doesn't know, as long as one puts a little thought into it, it's still easy to find out.

As for Ye Zhangqing, the Wu family naturally has no thought of daring to provoke him.

Joking, the fifth Yāoniè of the present age; not to mention the Dao One Immortal Sect, the Cooking King Immortal City, and Huang Lao, just the relationship between him and Tianlin, a random Elder from the Heavenly Family could easily wipe out their Wu family.

Can't provoke him, simply can't provoke him.

But the problem now is that the Wu family cannot give up that girl; otherwise, without that girl's blood, that thing cannot be suppressed.

Only seeing the Wu family patriarch on the main seat, his eyes full of icy chill, he glared at those present, his tone sinking a bit as he spoke.

"You should be clear that once that matter is exposed, for our Wu family it will be a calamity of extermination; then, no one in the family, high or low, will be able to escape."

Hearing this, all the Wu family members present solemnly nodded.

They naturally know how critical this matter is; so, upon learning that the girl had entered the canteen, everyone's hearts sank directly to the bottom.

They wanted to go seize the person, but they dare not act in the canteen.

Moreover, with Ye Zhangqing still holding sway in the city, there's no need to say more; even giving the Wu family a few more courages, they still wouldn't dare.

However, the matter is of great importance, and for a moment the Wu family had no idea what to do.

One night passed without incident; the next day, Ye Zhangqing sat in Yuàn zhōng, only to see Hongyue leading a girl walk in.

Upon seeing Ye Zhangqing, the girl performed a respectful salute.

"I have seen you, Young Master Ye."

He nodded slightly; this girl is the one who fled from the Wu family, and she had been staying in the canteen since yesterday.

"I plan to go to the Wu family today; do you want to go together?"

He asked casually; since he had agreed with her, he set out on the trip.

But upon hearing this, the girl didn't even think, shaking her head repeatedly, looking extremely terrified.

She would rather die than return to that place.

Seeing the girl's state, Ye Zhangqing did not insist, but spoke gently.

"Then stay here in peace; no one here can harm you."

His tone was calm, yet full of confidence; this is also a fact.

In the canteen, the Wu family cannot harm the girl in the slightest.

Then he also instructed Hongyue to take good care of her, and to teach her some canteen matters when she has time.

Cultivate her as soon as possible.

After the two girls left, Ye Zhangqing did not delay; he rose and went to the Wu family.

The Wu family is located in the most central part of the city; when Ye Zhangqing arrived at the Wu family, the clan head immediately led the family elders out to greet him personally.

His attitude was very respectful, his face full of fawning smiles.

He also didn't waste words, going straight to the point.

"Yesterday, a girl from your Wu family came to my canteen; you know about this, right?"

"We know, Young Master Ye, please forgive us; we also didn't know about this beforehand, so...................."

"Otherwise there's nothing else, but I want this girl."

Young Master Ye spoke, our Wu family naturally would not dare refuse.

In response, the Wu family head nodded repeatedly without hesitation.

This is also the result after they discussed all night last night.

Although without that girl, that thing can no longer be suppressed, but compared to offending Ye Zhangqing, for now we can only abandon this girl.

As for that thing, in the short term we can still conceal it with all our might; during this period we'll think of a solution.

It's still better than directly offending Ye Zhangqing.

If they offend Ye Zhangqing, it's hard to say whether the Wu family would be wiped out on the spot.

As for what's more important, the Wu family still can tell clearly.

This is also the Wu family's only option at present.

The Wu family's ready agreement was understandable; but just as they were speaking, Ye Zhangqing entered the Wu family, and suddenly he felt a familiar aura.

His gaze somewhat mysteriously glanced at the Wu family head and others beside him.

Facing Ye Zhangqing's sweeping gaze, for some reason the Wu family head only felt his heart sink, and a mysterious thought arose.

Could it be that Ye Zhangqing has noticed the existence of that thing?

No way, that thing has been hidden extremely deep by the Wu family; even within the family, only those of Elder level or above know.

Other clan members are completely unaware of this; it hasn't been exposed for many years, and Ye Zhangqing has just entered their Wu family gate; it's impossible for him to notice anything wrong already.

He tried to comfort himself, but he kept feeling an unexplained panic; indeed, Ye Zhangqing's earlier gaze was somewhat strange.

Hehe, Young Master Ye, do you have any problem?

He gave an embarrassed laugh twice, the Wu family head probed and asked; that thing must absolutely not be exposed, otherwise the Wu family would be doomed.
