I bought a secret manual of the Hehuan Sect for ten yuan.

"Chao Ning, you traded your life for ours, how can we face living on?"

An older man in the crowd stood up, and after a moment's hesitation, the others followed suit.

Jiang He and Jiang Chaoning had a significant impact on them. Since they couldn't hide, they might as well stand tall and at least die with some dignity.

"Stop putting on a tragic show in front of me, just hand over the stuff!"

Yu Jinxiao surprisingly did not make a move, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

"Jiang Yi!" Jiang Xianjue still didn't know what his granddaughter's look meant, but he decided to believe her.

"Jiang Yi!"

He called out again, and Jiang Xianjue realized that Jiang Yi had just been knocked away by Yu Jinxiao, and his fate was unknown.

"Master, Jiang Yi has fainted, his breathing is very weak, and he may not make it soon!"

Several people surrounded Jiang Yi, and one of them spoke up.

"Yu Jinxiao, this is your own doing, you can't blame anyone else!" Jiang Xianjue said sarcastically. "You should know that all my sons died young, and Jiang Yi is now mainly in charge of the affairs of the Jiang family."

"But you beat him so badly that he's seriously injured. Without him, I can't give you what you want even if I wanted to!"

Yu Jinxiao narrowed his eyes slightly. "Jiang Xianjue, do you take me for a three-year-old?"

"As the head of the Jiang family, even if you step back from the limelight, you will still hold the core power!"

He casually slapped someone to death, saying, "Don't try to fool me with your lies!"

"Let me tell you, whether today's matter is accomplished or not will only affect the Zhao family; it makes no difference to me!"

"I'm giving you a chance, so don't test my patience again!"

"You're right," Jiang Xianjue said calmly, "but I didn't lie to you either."

"I do have control over the core of the Jiang family, but without Jiang Yi's cooperation, it will be difficult for me to hand it over to you in a short time. Do you have that much time?"

"Believe it or not, our lives are in your hands. Go ahead and do it!"

Yu Jinxiao scrutinized Jiang Xianjue for a moment, then laughed, "You think I have no way to deal with this?"

He strode over to Jiang Yi, lifted him up, and said, "I'll believe you this once and see what other excuse you have!"

Yu Jinxiao moved with lightning speed, striking Jiang Yi more than a dozen times before finally striking him in the chest.

Jiang Yi vomited a mouthful of blood, then slowly regained consciousness, his eyes glazed as he looked around. "What happened to me...?"

When Jiang Xianjue and the others saw that Jiang Yi woke up as if nothing had happened, they were both delighted and shocked.

Not only is Yu Jinxiao's strength unfathomable, but he also has such a way of saving people?

How could such a person be willing to risk his life for the Zhao family?

When Jiang Yi saw Yu Jinxiao, he was startled. The confusion in his eyes vanished instantly, and he became alert.

Then, upon seeing Jiang Chaoning, he frowned. "Miss?"

"What are you doing here?"

"Didn't I tell you not to come back, and to go as far away as possible?"

"How could you...?"

"Uncle Yi," Jiang Chaoning interrupted him, "I understand your good intentions, but I can't abandon my family and run away for my life under these circumstances!"

"You two, have you finished your idle chatter?" Yu Jinxiao said, his face full of displeasure. "I didn't save you so you could spout nonsense. Get to work!"

Jiang Yi suppressed his anger, shifting his gaze from Yu Jinxiao to Jiang Xianjue and then to Jiang Chaoning. "Patriarch, Chaoning, what's going on?"

"Uncle Yi, it's like this..." Jiang Chaoning immediately began to explain.

......

About half an hour ago, in the Min family's living room.

"Master Jiang, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting!"

"I'm so sorry to disturb your meditation, and to trouble you with your long journey to visit my Min family..."

A well-dressed middle-aged man hurried over, his face beaming with smiles.

He is the head of the Min family, the father of Min Yutang and Min Zhenghao, Min Ting'an.

"No need for formalities with me, let's get straight to the point!"

"Is what you're saying true? Where is that person now?"

Sitting in the chair in front of Min Ting'an was an old man dressed in a moon-white robe, with his hair tied up and beard hanging down, exuding an air of otherworldly wisdom.

This old man is Jiang Zhuoqing, a martial arts master whom Min Ting'an sent to invite.

"Master Jiang is indeed very straightforward, then I'll be frank with you."

When Min Ting-an's flattering words were interrupted, he not only did not get angry, but also maintained his smile and remained extremely humble.

"Master, please rest assured, everything my nephew Zheng Nan said is true, without a single falsehood!"

"That person's name is Qin Ge, he's in his early twenties. We can't determine his exact strength, but based on our estimation, he's at least a Grandmaster!"

"He's in Beidu right now!"

"As long as Master Jiang is willing to help, regardless of the outcome, I guarantee I will give you everything I promised!"

"This Qin Ge possesses such terrifying martial arts skills at such a young age; he must be hiding some earth-shattering secret. As long as Master Jiang captures him, you will surely gain something!"

Jiang Zhuoqing glanced at Min Ting'an, her expression authoritative without being angry, and said, "What do you mean by 'regardless of the outcome'?"

"Are you saying this because you think I might not be a match for him?"

"No, no!" Min Ting'an quickly explained, "Master Jiang, I didn't mean that. It's just that Qin Ge's strength is truly unfathomable, and he's also extremely cunning."

"To be honest, both of my sons died at his hands. Even with the strength of my Min family, we were powerless against him. So I have no choice but to ask Master Jiang for help."

"After all, we are both grandmasters, and Qin Ge is extremely cunning. I have no intention of looking down on Master Jiang in the slightest; this small token is simply to express my respect for you!"

"Fellow Grandmasters?" Jiang Zhuoqing sneered. "Do you think Grandmasters are some cheap, worthless profession?"

"I haven't shown my face in years. Now, any Tom, Dick, or Harry can call themselves a grandmaster?"

"A grandmaster in his early twenties? Do you think I'd believe that?"

"Unless he started practicing martial arts in his previous life and his cultivation was passed down to this one, there's absolutely no way he could reach the Grandmaster level in his early twenties!"

"You don't need to provoke me like that. Now that I'm in Beidu, I will definitely take action."

Min Ting'an smiled awkwardly, "Master Jiang is absolutely right. I don't know much about martial arts. Perhaps Qin Ge used a trick to deceive all of us."

"As soon as Master Jiang meets him, he will surely reveal his true colors!"

He cursed inwardly, thinking, "This old bastard is really good at pretending!"

When Zheng Nan found you, you were unmoved by all the persuasion and rare treasures he offered. It was only when he mentioned that Qin Ge was a grandmaster in his early twenties and might be hiding a great secret that you were finally moved.

If you really don't believe me, then what are you doing here?

"However, Master Jiang, before you go to deal with Qin Ge, there is a small matter that I need to trouble you to handle."

"I would like to ask you to go to the Jiang family's house first!"
