My wife who comes from a wealthy family
Chapter 681 - 682 ’Rebels

Chapter 681: Chapter 682 ’Rebels

"Damn!" Jin Gouya climbed up from the ground, spat out the blood and teeth in his mouth, and shouted furiously, "Where did this little brute come from, totally oblivious of the sky and earth! Do you know who I am? I am the butler of the Poisonous Snake Hall in Ye Cheng, nicknamed Jin Gouya. You dare to hit me, not knowing how many eyes Lord Horse has?"

"Never heard of it!" Ye Wudao shook his head.

What?

Enraged, Jin Gouya exploded while a nearby elder named Li hastily pleaded, "Master Jin, please calm down. This young man has lost his memory and knows nothing!"

"Bring him down, break this boy’s dog legs!" Jin Gouya commanded with a wave of his hand.

"Kill!" Seven or eight members of the Poisonous Snake Hall charged towards Ye Wudao. All these men were of Spirit Initiate level, reasonably strong, but they were far too inferior in front of Ye Wudao!

"Die!" Ye Wudao threw a punch, fierce as a tiger swallowing the heavens, carrying terrifying power.

Thud!

Thud!

Thud, thud!!

In an instant, all seven or eight members of the Poisonous Snake Hall were horrifically killed by a single punch!

"My god, he killed members of the Poisonous Snake Hall!" Old Li was shocked.

"Brother is so cool!" Little Lan placed her hands on her chest, her eyes filled with admiration.

*Gulp!* Jin Gouya swallowed his saliva nervously. Although his strength was not weak, at a Combat King level, he suddenly felt incredibly insignificant in front of Ye Wudao!

This man must be a Combat Emperor!

An Emperor Level powerhouse!

It’s over!

We’ve hit a steel plate today!

"Damn, old man Li, can’t believe you hired a master to show off? Just wait. Once this master leaves, it will be the end of your family. Not even three hundred, but three thousand Spirit Stones will be enough to settle this!" Jin Gouya couldn’t leave without threatening Old Li.

Ye Wudao’s eyes flashed coldly, "Did I allow you to leave?"

Jin Gouya’s body trembled as he quickly fled.

Ye Wudao delivered a palm strike.

Whoosh!

A terrifying blade aura struck Jin Gouya instantly.

"Ahh!" Jin Gouya let out a miserable scream, falling heavily to the ground.

Ye Wudao approached, an aura of slaughter enveloping him.

"Don’t, don’t kill me. I was merely following orders..." Jin Gouya said fearfully.

Old Li said angrily, "I’ve lived in the outer city all my life and never heard of this monthly tribute. Ever since the Poisonous Snake Hall came last year, they’ve been demanding a hundred Spirit Stones a month, causing misery for many poor citizens of Ye Cheng!"

"You dare charge protection money?" Ye Wudao’s eyes were icy cold; he most despised those who bullied and extorted the powerless common folk.

"It’s not my fault. The Hall Master of the Poisonous Snake Hall ordered me to collect a hundred Spirit Stones from every household!" Jin Gouya explained.

Poisonous Snake Hall!

Hearing these three words, Old Li’s face changed, and he dared not speak.

Fueled by the backing of Poisonous Snake Hall, Jin Gouya’s weak morale suddenly surged as he taunted, "Sir, our Hall Master of the Poisonous Snake Hall is a distinguished Ninth Grade Combat Emperor, very close to the big figures of the Ye family. If you kill me, the Poisonous Snake Hall will not spare you!"

"Finished talking?" Ye Wudao’s face was cold as he approached Jin Gouya and swiftly brought down his hand with a knife.

"Ahh!" Jin Gouya screamed pitifully, his head lolling to the side, life extinguished.

"Brother is so cool!" Little Lan exclaimed excitedly, clapping her hands.

Only Old Li hung his head with a pained smile, "This is the end. Killing a man from the Poisonous Snake Hall is a severe crime. We better move and lay low. Let’s go to the inner city where the Poisonous Snake Hall dares not mess around!"

"But Grandpa, living expenses in the inner city are high; just the rent is a thousand Spirit Stones a month, and we don’t have that much money!" Little Lan worried.

Old Li was immediately silenced.

"Old Li, this trouble is my doing, so I should pay this money!" Ye Wudao spoke, pulling out a storage ring from his person and handing it to Old Li, "Old Li, there’s some money in here, enough for you and Little Lan’s expenses."

*Hiss*, a storage ring!" Old Li was shocked, quickly waving his hand, "Mr. Ye, your heart is kind, giving us some living expenses is enough. A storage ring is worth tens of thousands of Spirit Stones, too much for an old man like me to accept!"

Ye Wudao smiled, "Old Li, please take it. This is just a small token of my appreciation!"

"Good, good, Mr. Ye is truly a good person!" Old Li said, reluctantly accepting the storage ring and as he opened it, his pupils shrank sharply.

"My god, this..."

"Grandfather, what’s happening?" Little Lan asked curiously from the side.

"Gurgle!" Old Li swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his voice trembling as he said, "This humble gesture here contains at least five million Spirit Stones!"

Boom!

Five million Spirit Stones!

Little Lan’s beautiful face paled in shock!

Ye Wudao smiled and said, "Old Li, consider these five million Spirit Stones as gratitude for saving my life."

"Thump!" With that sound, Old Li and Little Lan, the grandfather and granddaughter, knelt on the ground, gratefully saying, "Mr. Ye, these five million Spirit Stones are too much, our family couldn’t spend this even in ten lifetimes!"

Ye Wudao smiled and helped Old Li to his feet, saying, "Old Li, consider the rest of the money as a wedding dowry I’m giving to Little Lan."

"Good, good, good. Mr. Ye, you, you are the best person I have encountered in my life, truly a reincarnation of a Bodhisattva!" Old Li was immensely grateful.

Little Lan, moved to tears, said, "Brother Ye, I, I won’t marry!"

Ye Wudao smiled and patted Little Lan’s head, saying, "Silly girl, when a man grows up, he should marry; and so should a woman when she grows up!"

"I want to serve Brother Ye, serve Brother Ye for my whole life!" Little Lan said earnestly.

"Pfft!" Ye Wudao laughed out loud and said, "Your Brother Ye doesn’t even have a fixed place to live now, where would you serve me?"

"Wherever Brother Ye goes, I shall follow..." Little Lan said.

"Heh, alright, your Brother Ye is a man of great abilities!" Old Li said with a smile, hurriedly dealing with the bodies on the ground.

"Old Li, there’s no need for such trouble!" Ye Wudao waved his hand, and a flame appeared in his palm, quickly reducing the corpses of Jin Gouya and all members of the Poisonous Snake Hall to ash.

"Hiss, Mr. Ye is truly impressive!" Old Li looked on admiringly.

Just then, the sound of footsteps came from outside.

"Someone?" Old Li said with a vigilant face, "Little Lan, go have a look!"

Little Lan quietly ran to the door, quickly covered her mouth, and said with a frightened face, "Grandfather, the Enforcement Team is here!"

What?

Old Li’s face filled with worry, could it be that Ye Wudao’s killing of the Poisonous Snake Hall members had drawn the Enforcement Team here?

No!

It couldn’t be so soon!

Dozens of members of the Enforcement Team arrived at their home, with the leader speaking coldly, "Li Ying!"

"Here I am!" Li Ying promptly knelt on the ground.

"Ye’s Empire is conscripting, your name is on the list, just sign here!" a member of the Enforcement Team spoke coldly.

What?

Old Li’s face showed shock, and he wryly said, "Captain, I am seventy years old this year, I cannot be a soldier anymore!"

"Hmph, your son is dead, now it’s your turn! Recently, the rebellion has been growing bold, and everyone has the duty to protect the Ye’s Empire!" the captain of the Enforcement Team spoke coldly.

"But I am just an old man!" Old Li began to argue, but Ye Wudao interrupted, "What is this rebellion?"

The captain of the Enforcement Team sneered and said, "You don’t know about the rebellion? They were once the direct line of the Ye’s Empire, committing all sorts of evil, exploiting the common people. Ever since they were driven out of Ye Cheng by the collateral lines alliance, they have occupied the Gobi Desert, frequently causing trouble and harassing Ye Cheng!"

What?

Ye Wudao was shocked internally!

The so-called rebels were actually the direct line of the Ye family, to which his father belonged!

Seven collateral lines had betrayed the direct line, driven them to the impoverished Gobi Desert, and even labeled them as rebels!

Utterly despicable!

He must go there, meet the direct line of the Ye family labeled as ’rebels,’ and find out about his parents!

"Sir, I am kneeling before you, I truly cannot serve in the army at my age!" Old Li wryly smiled, but the members of the Enforcement Team forcefully pressed his thumbprint.

"No, don’t!" Little Lan, in utter despair, knew that once her grandfather joined the army to fight against the powerful rebels, he would almost certainly die!

Just then, Ye Wudao said coldly, "Wait!"

"Hey, you brat, what do you want to do?" the members of the Enforcement Team glared at Ye Wudao with hostility.

"Old Li is elderly and frail, going to fight against the ’rebels’ would only be sending him to his death. I shall take Old Li’s place in the army!" Ye Wudao spoke firmly.
