In White Stone City, the official in charge of the teleportation gate was preparing to close it before heading to the east district of the city for a drink. Suddenly, he heard a rumble and saw more than ten men rushing over, surrounding him.
“What are you guys doing? I am… “ The official in charge of the teleportation circle had not finished speaking before the tallest man already grabbed him, asking him in a stern voice at the same time: “Where are the members of the Yue Clan’s Fourth Branch?”
“Ah, just now the Third Young Master and the Seventh Young Mistress came back, and took Fourth Madam away. There was also a group of servants with them, they teleported to Black Clay City… “ Before the official in charge of the teleportation circle had even finished speaking, the leader of the group gave a shout, “Shit!”. Randomly throwing aside the official, he led the team to depart with loud stamping sounds. The official in charge of the teleportation portal unhurriedly got up from the ground, patting his chest: “ As expected, the Third Young Master was right. There really are a few blind, wretched fellows who are causing troubles for the Yue Clan. Did they actually think that with just a dozen or so of fools like them they would be sufficient confront the Yue Clan of the Four Major Clans? But anyway, since there’s money to keep, I’ll follow the instructions that the Third Young Master left behind!”
When he discovered that the gold coins in his pocket were still there, he was immediately in a better mood.
He had been rewarded with an ample amount of 5 gold coins simply by helping the Yue Clan’s Third Young Master tell a small lie. Where else would he be able to find such a good deal?
Yue Yang did not guide the beautiful woman to Black Clay City, but rather, to Green Bamboo City. After reaching Green Bamboo City, Yue Yang gave the old servant Uncle Nan and the others 5 gold as living expenses, telling them to go back to the Yue Clan Castle only when the new year began. For now, they would first find a place to rest for two days.
Uncle Nan and the other servants also knew that they were a burden to the Young Master, so they nodded and agreed to find a place to stay at in Green Bamboo City.
Yue Yang carried the little girl, who had been so tired that she ended up falling asleep, brought the beautiful woman and Yue Bing to rent the biggest, most comfortable, enclosed four-wheel carriage he could find and headed straight for the Yue Clan Castle.
If it was just Yue Yang alone, or even bringing just Yue Bing, Yue Yang would have definitely chosen to teleport directly to Black Clay City, which was the nearest city to the Yue Clan Castle. There were reasons as to why he had chosen to go to Green Bamboo City, the first was because Green Bamboo City was not much further than Black Clay City, and there was a main road that would lead directly to the Yue Clan Castle; the second was that according to a normal person’s line of thought, one would think that Yue Yang, Yue Bing, and the others who were rushing, would head straight to Black Clay City, and thus overlook Green Bamboo City, which was slightly further away.
Although he did not know if people would come to intercept them mid-journey, it was still best to be prepared.
Now that he was bringing along the beautiful woman and the little girl, his speed could not be too fast. Apart from ensuring that the trip would not be too exhausting for them, he also could not let them be put in any danger.
Thus, Yue Yang got the best four-wheeled carriage he could find and had the beautiful woman, Yue Bing, and the little girl to sit inside, while he alone sat next to the coachman, taking note of the changes in their surroundings. If there were any people attacking, Yue Yang would just let let Hui Tai Lang play with them.
Lately, Hui Tai Lang was living like a prince, doing nothing but eating and sleeping, and there were even hints of him getting fatter.
He even gave the coachman a huge amount of gold to get him to drive through the night.
After driving through the entire night, at the break of dawn on the second day, they managed to arrive at the Yue Clan Village, which was 10 miles away from the Yue Clan Castle.
These were the living quarters of the Yue Clan branch members, the descendants of extended family, and distant relatives. Although this was called the Yue Clan Village, it was similar in size to White Stone City. Within the village, there were even city walls and facilities such as a Mercenary Guild, a Warrior Guild and taverns.
The Yue Clan Village was actually the first gate of the Yue Clan Castle and was located in the middle of a deep valley. After passing through it, there would be two large roads winding up towards the Yue Clan Castle, which towered halfway up the mountain.
“Young Master, there is someone blocking the road ahead of us…” The coachman was so scared that his entire body was trembling.
Of course, it was not his first time going to the Yue Cla
