Chapter 403: Want to die? Then I'll see you off!

"Imperial Attendant Tang indeed has a good skill!"

Wei Yuan looked at Zhang Chengze, who was terrified and had fallen to sit on the ground, then glanced up at Tang Anzhi's departing back, raised a thumb, and praised Dai Zhishang:

"Just a glance scared this hunter into a grandson; although it's my first time meeting Hunter Zhang, I'm not familiar with him and don't know what abilities he has."

"But since he is a hunter, and from his appearance seems to be from a hunting family, likely has spent much time hunting in the mountains and cultivated great courage, yet he was still scared like this by Imperial Attendant Tang, which proves Imperial Attendant Tang is remarkable!"

"Imperial Attendant Tang used to be our Immortal Official of Qingyang County; although now retired, his abilities, honed through years of arduous cultivation, must be far greater than before!"

Although he said that, if one looks closely, a hint of disgust can still be seen deep in Dai Zhishang's gaze, and he said:

"Not even Brother Zhang, a mere hunter; even a battle-hardened general would likely be frightened by Imperial Attendant Tang's gaze!"

He may be a dandy, but unlike many dandies, perhaps because he has read many poems and texts, he possesses strong empathy and, in everything he does, insists on mutual consent.

Someone like Zhang Chengze has never offended Tang Anzhi, only humbly pleaded with him.

Yet he was targeted by Tang Anzhi's gaze and scared to the point of falling to sit on the ground, which shows Tang Anzhi is not a good person.

Tang Anzhi did not receive promotion or raise on the lofty path of Immortal Official, which shows the court's decision was correct; although the Immortal Official's greatest duty is to prevent demons and monsters from causing trouble, they also have the responsibility to protect the common folk.

For someone like Tang Anzhi to intimidate Zhang Chengze with a glance over a trivial matter, it would be absurd for him to receive promotion and raise on the Immortal Official's lofty path.

"Bold!"

Wang Ping'an wore a gloomy expression; he already harbored deep resentment toward Tang Anzhi, the schemer who seeks to kill for glory, and did not expect him to dare do such a thing in front of everyone.

Insulting his uncle!

In his previous life, he was born an orphan and envied families living peacefully together; in this life, he places extra importance on his family.

Of course.

Relatives like the Du Family, upon appearing, are nothing but tools to humiliate his mother; he wishes them to die early and be reborn, but the Zhang Family is different—he can clearly feel the Zhang Family's regard for his whole family.

Even though the Zhang Family knows that his father, Chen Shimei, was a Tang Tanhualang in high school and even had connections to the Prime Minister, after divorcing his mother, they showed not the slightest humiliation toward his mother; unlike the Du Family, they did not try to use humiliating his mother to get closer to his father Chen Shimei.

After learning this, the Zhang Family took extra care of his mother and showed concern for her.

Last night.

Whether it was Li Ping or Zhu Lancui, they repeatedly sneaked to comfort his mother, urging her not to dwell on the matter; deep down he was very grateful for the Zhang Family's actions.

He could clearly feel that, with the Zhang Family's comfort, his mother's mood had improved by an unknown amount compared to before.

Now seeing this beast Tang Anzhi humiliating his uncle like this, how could he not be angry?

"I didn't want to test you, but since you've done this, I will see to it!"

Wang Ping'an's face was full of anger; while no one was watching, he furtively took out a miniature Paper Person.

Of course.

He didn't expect that this single Paper Person could deal with Tang Anzhi.

He has never truly fought Tang Anzhi, but from Tang Anzhi's duel with Yu Die, he could clearly see that Tang Anzhi is no ordinary person.

He is not weaker than the monsters that occupy Shizi Ling—no, clearly stronger than those monsters.

He commanded a Paper Person to leave the World Pearl; the true purpose was the storage bag the Paper Person carried, which contained a set of the Small Five Elements Sword Formation he had successfully forged. It was originally placed at his home, but on the way to the Zhang Family, he covertly had the Paper Person dismantle it and bring it over.

Initially he didn't expect the Small Five Elements Sword Formation to be useful, but brought it as a precaution.

Never imagined.

And it actually came to a time when it could be effective!

"Chengze, Chengze, are you okay?"

Zhu Lancui hurried to Zhang Chengze's side; originally her family and her younger aunt's family were also preparing to rush over, but she feared an accident, looked up at Tang Anzhi's departing back, her anger barely concealed, and said: "This..."

It was her first time seeing Tang Anzhi, but his earlier reckless act of killing for glory was not hidden; he said it openly and plainly. Though not blunt, she wasn't foolish and could understand the exact meaning.

At that time, she had no good feelings toward Tang Anzhi.

She never imagined that her own man had only pleaded with Tang Anzhi, who not only refused but also caused her man this fate.

Who knows, when their families arrived, if they said a word against Tang Anzhi, would this beast endanger the lives of both families?

"Stop talking!"

Zhang Chengze's complexion changed dramatically; he hurriedly covered Zhu Lancui's mouth and quickly said, "I'm fine!"

He only uttered a pleading word; he never expected Tang Anzhi to refuse and, with a glance, scare him like this. If he hadn't spent years roaming the outskirts of Shizi Ling, hunting beasts, and thus having far greater courage than ordinary people, that glance alone would have broken his courage.

This novel you...

One cannot say there is no resentment toward Tang Anzhi in his heart, but he wouldn't dare let his own wife voice her dissatisfaction with Tang Anzhi.

Who knows if this beast, hearing his wife's words, would strike down and endanger his wife's life?

"Look at you like that, as if nothing's wrong?"

Zhu Lancui glared at Zhang Chengze, intending to check his condition, but before she could act, she heard the words "Reach out!" and instinctively extended her hand; a round, fragrant pill appeared in her palm, and she asked in confusion:

"Lord Yu, what is this?"

The voice was Yu Die's; clearly this round pill was given to her by Yu Die.

"It's just a nourishing spirit pill; it will help Brother Zhang's current condition, so give it to him to take!"

Yu Die explained.

"Thank you!"

Zhu Lancui said gratefully.

Without doubt or worry, she directly shoved the pill into Zhang Chengze's mouth.

Dai Zhishang leaned toward Wei Yuan and whispered, "County Magistrate Wei, who is this young lady? She can't be the magistrate's daughter, can she?"

Yu Die.

Like a ray of light in darkness, on his way to Wei Yuan, he immediately noticed Yu Die, but her aura, which kept others at a thousand miles distance, made him hesitant to greet her.
