"Feng Hui, I thought you were truly repentant when you were with the dean that day."

Xu Yi looked at his former classmates with Nie Guizhou who came to his house to cause trouble, but his expression did not fluctuate at all.

"Oh, repent? Did I tell you in person that day that I was repentant?"

Feng Hui glanced at him, then bowed his head and saluted Nie Guizhou, "Sir, you called me."

Nie Guizhou nodded: "Feng Hui, do you still remember what you promised me?"

"Remember, remember!" Feng Hui said with a flattering look on his face.

"What's the point of remembering? You haven't done it yet. You caused me to lose face a few days ago, and I had to rescue you. But today, I'm giving you a chance to atone for your sins. Are you willing?"

"Of course I am willing. Please speak, sir."

"You were his classmate, so you must know what he cares about most. Go and destroy what he cares about most, and let me calm down."

"What does he care about most?"

Hearing this, Feng Hui repeated it uncertainly, his eyes turned, as if he remembered something, and quickly agreed.

Feng Hui straightened up and slowly walked towards Xu Yi.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Qiao Xi hurried to Xu Yi's side.

But unexpectedly, Feng Huijing just passed by them and went behind them.

Looking at his direction, Qiao Xi was shocked, thinking that he had elderly people at home and would not do such a thing.

"Feng Hui, you'd better not take another step forward, otherwise I will show no mercy to you."

Xu Yi seemed to realize what he was going to do. He took a few steps forward, stood in front of Feng Hui and warned him.

"Show mercy? Oh, Xu Yi, you still have the nerve to say that. If you were you, I would still be able to study in the academy. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be disqualified from taking the provincial examination. If it weren't for your sister-in-law, my mother wouldn't have fallen ill."

"You actually have the nerve to say you'll go easy on me. I didn't expect you to be so shameless."

After saying this, Feng Hui looked at Nie Guizhou again: "Sir, can you let a few brothers guard outside the door?"

Nie Guizhou now really wants to know what he is going to do, so he naturally asks him to cooperate.

With just a wave of his hand, Sun Kui and others blocked the door, preventing anyone from approaching Feng Hui and the room behind him.

Feng Hui no longer had any worries and walked into the mourning hall with a swagger.

"What does he want to do?"

Qiao Xi asked Xu Yi in a low voice.

In this mourning hall, apart from my mother-in-law's spirit tablet, there are only some sacrificial items. There are no valuable things.

But just as she had this thought, she heard crackling sounds coming from the mourning hall.

It sounded like the sound of an incense burner being smashed, and some sacrificial plates and bowls also made shattering sounds for some unknown reason.

When Xu Yi heard the voice, he immediately lost his composure. Regardless of the pain in his body, he took a few quick steps and wanted to rush into the house to stop Feng Hui.

But there were several strong men guarding the door, and he was injured, so he was no match for them. After pushing and shoving for a long time, Xu Yi was unable to get in.

Qiao Xi tried several times but couldn't get in.

"Feng Hui, stop it!"

Xu Yi shouted at the top of his voice, which was rare for him.

But Feng Hui was only concerned with pleasing Nie Guizhou and was not willing to listen to him.

It took nearly a quarter of an hour for Feng Hui to finally come out.

Seeing him come out, the several strong men blocking the door also retreated to their original positions.

Without any obstruction, Xu Yi and Qiao Xi hurried into the mourning hall, wanting to see what Feng Hui was doing inside.

But when they looked at the mess on the ground, both of their eyes were red.

Xu Yi's eyes were filled with anger, the veins on his neck bulged, and he gritted his teeth and endured it, finally suppressing the urge to kill in his heart.

Qiao Xi was both angry and uncomfortable seeing Xu Yi like this.

When their eyes fell on the table where the spirit tablet was placed, they both stepped forward almost at the same time and picked up the spirit tablet that had fallen on the table with both hands at the same time.

Watching Xu Yi holding the spirit tablet carefully and then wiping it bit by bit with his sleeve, Qiao Xi unconsciously clenched her hands into fists.

Thinking of Xu Yi's hatred for her now, if he knew in the future that she didn't try her best to stop Feng Hui today, would he...

Qiao Xi stopped thinking and didn't dare to think any further. She had to help Xu Yi deal with the man named Nie in the yard.

But she knew nothing about this Nie, so she couldn't help even if she wanted to.

Now is not the time to get to the bottom of things. The most urgent thing is to get those people outside away.

The village head brought so many people with him, but when they heard that he was a member of the Nie family, they all dared not say a word. It was impossible to drive them away by force, so they could only wait for them to leave on their own.

"I want to see what Nie Guizhou is going to do next."

The whole house had been smashed to pieces by his men, so how could he possibly tear down their house?

Qiao Xi left the mourning hall after saying this.

Xu Yi followed her holding the spirit tablet.

"Are you satisfied, sir?"

Feng Hui was very respectful towards Nie Guizhou.

Seeing him like this, Qiao Xi's eyes were full of mockery. He wasn't even so respectful to the dean that day.

At this moment, Nie Guizhou saw Xu Yi carrying the spirit tablet and walking out of the mourning hall with heavy steps. He immediately nodded with satisfaction and praised Feng Hui repeatedly: "Satisfied, this young master is very satisfied. Okay, this young master is happy today, so let's stop here for now."

With that, Nie Guizhou stood up and was about to leave.

But after turning around and taking two steps, he stopped again.

Everyone saw him turn around and look at Xu Yi, his eyes full of meaning, and his tone was very arrogant: "Oh, I forgot to say something. Xu Yi, you'd better find a way to get the ancient book for me, otherwise, I can't guarantee that I won't come to you to have some fun every time I'm unhappy."

Finally, he glanced at Qiao Xi, not hiding the interest in his eyes at all.

The village head and villagers in the courtyard breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the "big Buddha" had finally left.

But then the atmosphere in the courtyard became very awkward. Everyone looked at each other, but no one spoke.

It was Xu Chong and Lu Yun who broke the silence first.

Xu Chong said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Brother Xu Yi. I really want to help you, but you know the Nie family, and I really can't afford to offend them."

Xu Yi was very grateful that he was willing to go up the mountain to save people regardless of the danger.

As for letting Chongge offend the Nie family in order to help him, Xu Yi also disapproved.

Xu Yi's expression was calm: "Brother Chong, don't blame yourself. But fortunately, Brother Chong didn't confront the Nie family for me, otherwise Yan Zheng would feel extremely guilty."

Hearing this, Xu Chong felt even more ashamed. He opened his mouth to say something else, but was interrupted by Xu Yi.

"Okay, now that Mr. Nie has left, I don't have anything urgent to do here, so please go back."

When they heard that they could leave, no one wanted to stay in this awkward situation any longer, and each one left faster than the other.

After seeing everyone off, only Qiao Xi and Xu Yi were left in the yard.

Thinking that Xu Yi was seriously injured and couldn't stand for long, Qiao Qian hurried forward to support him: "Go back to your room and lie down. I'll clean the mourning hall."

"Thank you very much, sister-in-law."

Xu Yi's tone was neither cold nor indifferent, but very polite.

Now that the crisis was over, Qiao Qian asked casually, "What is Nie Guizhou's identity? What did he mean by the ancient book he mentioned just now?"
