Fast Travel: The Hundred-Life Couple

Chapter 38: Revenge of the Jianghu 04

Ye Jian stared at Liu Cailian, who was shining in the crowd, with admiration in his eyes, full of admiration and love.

What a kind girl!

He then continued, "Cai Lian is right. Even if beggar brother unfortunately passes away, then he should marry Miss Shen as soon as possible. Before he dies, he can spend a night with Miss Shen, a fairy-like figure. With a wife like Miss Shen to carry on his family line and continue his bloodline, his life of wandering and suffering will be worthwhile, and he can rest in peace."

"I heard that Mr. Shen prides himself on his benevolence and righteousness, often providing porridge and food to refugees outside the city. I'm sure he couldn't bear to see a beggar die alone, right?"

After Liu Cailian and Ye Jian had a long conversation, those who were gloating with ill intentions started to make a fuss again, and Mr. Shen was so angry that he wanted to tear them into pieces and grind them into ashes.

Coincidentally, Ye Xiaoli and Ouyang Dongxu were also standing in a teahouse in the distance and witnessed the whole process.

"This Liu Cailian is really harmful to others and not beneficial to herself. She has a dark mind and a vicious nature." Ye Xiaoli said, leaning his elbow on the window frame.

Ouyang Dongxu leaned against the window frame on the other side, arms folded across his chest, and said calmly, "That guy named Ye Jian and her are in love, it's obvious that they are birds of a feather."

Ye Xiaoli remained silent.

Ye Ruyan had never allowed her to have contact with Ye Jian, and both of them were unaware of each other's existence, but his current behavior was indeed very compatible with Liu Cailian.

"When are we going to take action?" Ouyang Dongxu asked Ye Xiaoli, who had told him that she would make Ye Jian and Ye Ruyan pay for her parents' lives.

She also had no intention of letting Nan Batian, the instigator of all the tragedies, go.

Ouyang Dongxu took what he heard to heart. In order to prevent the two from escaping, he coaxed the satiated Ye Xiaoli to sleep, and then went to plant tracking Gu on Nan Batian and Ye Ruyan.

In this way, even if they escape to the ends of the earth, they cannot escape Ouyang Dongxu's sensing range.

Ye Xiaoli wanted to seek revenge on Nan Batian and Ye Ruyan, and he also needed his guidance. This was his selfish reason for keeping Ye Xiaoli by his side.

Ye Xiaoli knew it well, but he didn't expose it.

In fact, she also looks forward to constantly giving her surprises or using tricks to keep her body and mind.

"No rush. Ye Jian knew nothing about my past, so I could give him a quick death. But to prevent Ye Ruyan from committing suicide, I plan to cripple Ye Jian's martial arts first and turn him into an ordinary person. After Ye Ruyan and Nan Batian die, I will settle the score."

"As for now, let's see how Mr. Shen handles the current situation."

After hearing what Liu Cailian and Ye Jian said, Mr. Shen did not get angry, but looked embarrassed. Liu Cailian thought she had forced Mr. Shen into a desperate situation.

I couldn't help laughing when I thought of Miss Shen being forced to marry a dying beggar in the near future, and then soon becoming a widow and bearing a posthumous child for the beggar.

She pressed him aggressively, "Why isn't Mr. Shen saying anything? Is he going to go back on his word? Is he unwilling to marry Miss Shen to this beggar? Miss Shen talked about throwing a ball to find a husband. Is she making fun of everyone in this city?"

"It is! It is!"

Mr. Shen had been paying attention to the situation in the crowd downstairs. Seeing that the people he had arranged had already approached the two men, he sneered in his heart and made a quiet gesture: "Everyone, listen to me, I am not going back on my word, but I am a fatherly person. I am thinking about the rich families in our hometown. Before men and women get married, there is a tradition of trial marriage.

I still don’t know the physical condition of this nephew. What if he is inhumane or has other problems? Wouldn’t I be pushing my daughter into the fire with my own hands?

Therefore, I would like to offer my nephew a high price to find a woman for trial marriage. I am willing to pay one hundred taels of silver to the family of the woman who is willing to be the trial marriage for my daughter.

"The woman has completed her trial marriage. Regardless of the outcome, I am willing to allow her to return home and marry freely."

"Of course, the girl who has been talking just now, you are so kind and always thinking about your beggar brother. Why don't you arrange a trial marriage for my daughter and your beggar brother? For this, I am willing to give you a thousand taels of silver as a thank you."

"But I am worried. You seem to have been traveling around the world for many years. I am afraid that you are no longer a virgin. You are not worthy of a trial marriage with this beggar nephew."

"Wow! One thousand taels?" After hearing what Mr. Shen said, there was an uproar and many people began to get restless.

They have no chance of getting one thousand taels, but they can try their best to get one hundred taels.

In this environment where a family can't save more than ten taels of silver a year, one hundred taels of silver is a huge sum of money. Many men below are already thinking about which sister among the sellers to sell.

Liu Cailian was furious after hearing the sarcastic and contemptuous words of Mr. Shen.

Especially when she saw the beggar really looking at her with a scrutinizing look, as if with disgust, she became even more furious.

Just as he was about to say something else, he and Ye Jian were suddenly pushed by someone from behind and almost fell down. When they both steadied themselves and looked back, they felt that each of them was very suspicious.

"Are you okay, Cailian?" Ye Jian asked while supporting Liu Cailian.

Liu Cailian shook her head with some anger still lingering.

They didn't notice that they had just been pricked by a needle in the shoulder blade and were feeling a dull pain at a certain point.

During this time, Mr. Shen had already selected the sister of a quick-witted man to arrange a trial marriage between Miss Shen and the beggar. Mr. Shen also selected five men and carried the beggar to a nearby clinic for treatment.

Those five men were the ones who had just joined Liu Cailian in making trouble.

The beggar was carried away, and the excitement faded. The crowd gradually dispersed. Ye Jian asked Liu Cailian, "Shall we follow him to the clinic?"

Liu Cailian's face darkened. "Go! I must see Miss Shen marry a beggar. A man's word is his bond. This matter cannot be allowed to be evasive by the richest man Shen and his daughter."

They followed the group of people escorting the beggars at a close distance. Unexpectedly, when they reached a corner with few pedestrians, several masked burly men suddenly rushed out.

Each of them held a butcher knife and shouted, "This stinky beggar once cheated my sister, and now he's trying to get rich by riding on the shoulders of the rich Shen family. I must kill him!"

Shouting, he rushed towards the people who were carrying the beggars with a knife and hacked at them. After a while, the people were hacked all over their bodies, and the beggar was stabbed more than a hundred times and turned into a pool of meat paste.

These burly men seemed to be chopping people without any method, but anyone who knew the situation could see that they had good martial arts skills.

Ye Jian and Liu Cailian were so frightened that they retreated into a small alley. Before they could catch their breath, their eyes rolled back and they fainted.

Then several people came to the alley, said "Pooh" to Liu Cailian, covered the two of them with sacks and took them away.

When they woke up again, their faces were scratched, their martial arts skills were destroyed, and their tendons in their hands and feet were cut. They found themselves in a beggar's den, each surrounded by a group of beggars who beat them up.

When Mr. Shen heard the butler's report, he smiled with relief and said, "Give fifty taels to each of the families of the injured men. Even though they didn't use it, give one hundred taels to the woman's family as well."

That way no one would criticize him.

After the housekeeper left, Mr. Shen turned around and asked the frightened Miss Shen, "Will you dare to throw the ball to find a husband next time?"

Miss Shen wiped her tears and said, "Words are harmful. My daughter will never dare to act willfully again. I will leave the decision on my marriage to you, Dad."

Mr. Shen stroked his beard with satisfaction.

Ye Xiaoli and Ouyang Dongxu followed the development of the whole incident. They didn't expect that Ye Jian and Liu Cailian were already in such a miserable state before she even took any action.

Mr. Shen is worthy of being the richest man, he is steady, accurate and ruthless.

"Let Ye Jian and Liu Cailian live like that for now, and find a few people to keep an eye on them and make sure they don't die." Ye Xiaoli said, "Next, I'm going to start hunting down Ye Ruyan and Nan Batian."

Ouyang Dongxu smiled warmly, his face as bright as a spring flower: "Wherever you go, I will go."

Ye Xiaoli: "I will hunt them down for twenty years, making them live in fear every day for the next twenty years."

Ouyang Dongxu: "Then can you be with me forever?"

Ye Xiaoli: "Well... let me tie it tonight, I'll think about it."
