Chapter 680: 0681 Needs People! (Second Update)

In the dead of night, at the hour of the Rat.

Ye Qiu felt the door to his room move slightly as a figure slipped inside.

He had not been sleeping at all, and at that moment his eyes emitted a sharp gleam directed at the figure that had jumped into the room—it was Tang Surou.

Ye Qiu’s eyes blazed like fiery orbs, nearly causing Tang Surou to stumble in fright.

"The two people at the door?" Ye Qiu glanced around and asked.

Tang Surou replied indifferently, "I’ve knocked them out. Hurry and follow me. I’ll help you leave the Tang Clan right away. You can’t stay here; the clanspeople will make things difficult for you."

"It must be those elders who want to make things difficult for me," Ye Qiu said with a smile.

Tang Surou was about to nod, but then quickly changed the subject, "Now is not the time to discuss this. I will send you back to the mundane world. Don’t ever step into the ancient lands again. Go to a place in the mundane world where no one recognizes you, and live a good life."

Tang Surou babbled on in a rush, her voice laced with a thousand cautions and tens of thousands of instructions. Ye Qiu couldn’t help but find her fussing humorous. Seeing that Ye Qiu remained unmoved and wasn’t following her, Tang Surou said impatiently, "Why aren’t you leaving?"

Ye Qiu shook his head, "I won’t go. If you send me away, Tang Heshan is sure to blame you. I, Ye Qiu, already owe you a life-saving grace; I won’t allow you to come to any harm because of me."

Tang Surou felt her cheeks warm slightly at Ye Qiu’s words. She immediately dismissed her fanciful thoughts and continued, "If you don’t leave now, it will be difficult to get away later. Do you know what that will mean?"

Ye Qiu turned around and went back to his bed, laughing, "I know, but I won’t just run away. Although I, Ye Qiu, do not have the backing of a powerful ancient clan, it does not mean I have to flee with my tail between my legs. If someone wants to deal with me, let them make their move. I, Ye Qiu, will take all that comes."

Watching Ye Qiu’s nonchalant behavior, Tang Surou was furious. She had this one chance to help Ye Qiu escape the Tang Clan. Once the two outside woke up, Tang Heshan would know it was her doing, and helping Ye Qiu afterward would become much more difficult.

"Su Rou, go back. I’ll be fine," Ye Qiu said as he lay down, making himself comfortable as if to rest.

Tang Surou stared at Ye Qiu for a long while, but seeing that he was steadfastly indifferent, she stomped her foot in frustration and left, huffing. She really couldn’t understand why Ye Qiu was so foolish. Didn’t he know that the Shi Clan would be the first to trouble him?

Not twenty minutes had passed when the news of Tang Surou’s attempt to help Ye Qiu escape the Tang Clan reached Tang Heshan’s ears.

Although puzzled why Ye Qiu hadn’t left, Tang Heshan still increased the guards to prevent Ye Qiu from disappearing.

And Tang Surou was summoned by Tang Heshan, who gave her a severe dressing-down.

The night thus faded away, and the next day arrived in the blink of an eye.

Early the next morning, the Shi Clan’s people arrived even faster than expected. An elder of the Shi Clan, along with Shi Qingchen and several other Shi Clan juniors, arrived at the Tang Clan’s council hall.

Tang Heshan personally greeted them. Upon seeing the Shi Clan elder, he couldn’t help feeling startled. This was the Great Elder of the Shi Clan, an old timer with unfathomable strength and a rank higher than his own, a powerful figure from a much earlier generation.

The Shi Clan having sent such a formidable person signalled one thing—they attached great importance to this matter.

"Clan Leader Tang, you should be clear about my intention for coming here, I trust I don’t need to say more," said the Shi Clan Great Elder coolly.

At this moment, Tang Hai, Tang Yun, Tang Feng, and several other elders appeared one after another. When they saw this senior figure from the old generation of the Shi Clan, their gazes tensed and they were very wary.

"Damn it, we haven’t even extracted the Emperor Level opportunity from him, and the Shi Clan is already on our doorstep, and a bit too early at that," Elder Tang Feng complained.

At this point, Tang Ze and a few other young members of the Tang Clan, being students of Elder Tang Feng, had no privilege of sitting and could only stand to one side, listening quietly.

"Elder Shi, I’m afraid you have misunderstood. I really don’t know your purpose for coming. Are you here at the Tang Clan for some important matter?" Tang Heshan said with a smile, feigning ignorance as he spoke with great ease.

Then, Shi Qingchen spoke up, "Clan Leader Tang, we’ve come only for that masked man of your clan. Hand him over, and our elder will not make things difficult for the Tang Clan."

"Junior, it is not your turn to speak here," Tang Heshan suddenly looked towards Shi Qingchen, frightening him so much that he nearly fell to the ground on the spot. Tang Heshan’s imposing manner was so fierce that Shi Qingchen, who was at Legend realm, seemed as insignificant as an ant before him.

"Clan Leader Tang, what this junior means is also what I mean," an elder of the Shi clan said as he flashed in front of Shi Qingchen, blocking the momentum rushing towards him. Before this elder of the Shi clan, Tang Heshan’s formidable momentum instantly turned into a gentle breeze, touching upon the face without harm.

Tang Heshan suddenly changed from anger to a smiling demeanor, "Elder Shi, unless I heard wrong, you have come to me demanding someone. I wonder which member of our Tang clan has offended your esteemed clan enough to warrant your personal visit."

"Clan Leader Tang, let’s not beat around the bush. Only five of your Tang clan’s descendants entered the Great Emperor’s tomb, that masked youth, do you dare to say he isn’t one of your Tang clan?" the Shi clan elder raised his voice, pressing back against Tang Heshan with an aggressive tone.

Tang Heshan’s heart skipped a beat. He did not want to confront this old man and quickly said with a smile, "Oh, you’re talking about Ye Qiu? To be frank with you, he really isn’t one of our Tang clan. He’s just a friend my daughter made in the martial world. After returning to the Tang clan yesterday, my daughter sent him out of the ancient land. Elder Shi, I’m afraid you’ve come too late..."

"You’re saying he’s not in the Tang clan?" the Shi clan elder’s eyebrows shot up.

Tang Heshan, unflustered, nodded and said, "That’s right."

However, just because Tang Heshan gave such an explanation, the Shi clan elder would not easily believe it. He did not think Tang Heshan would let go of a youth in possession of an Emperor Level opportunity.

Without hesitation, his eyes shifted as he said, "In that case, Clan Leader Tang, you wouldn’t mind if I take a look around here, would you?"

At this point, Tang Feng, one of the elders, took the initiative to say, "Elder Shi, after all, this is the Tang clan’s territory. There are some places that are not suitable for your visit. We truly do not have the person you are looking for. If you really want to find him, perhaps you should take a look in the secular world."

The Shi clan elder furrowed his brows, his gaze landing on several seated Tang clan elders, and could not help but let out a sneer.

"I’m not taking any of your Tang clan’s treasures, no need to guard against me. I wouldn’t put your Tang clan’s things in my eyes."

The words of the Shi clan elder were light, intentionally belittling the Tang clan, but everyone present held back. The reason was none other than the fact that the other party was from one of the three great ancient clans, the Shi clan.

Just as a whiff of gunpowder was about to emerge between the two clans, a faint voice came through, "The once esteemed one of the three great ancient clans, now their prodigy has been defeated by me. Has the elder come to find trouble today?"

As these words fell, everyone’s gazes couldn’t help but turn towards the newcomer. Tang Heshan as well as Tang Hai and other elders all widened their eyes in disbelief. He...how did he come out...

Shi Qingchen’s eyes turned cold as he gritted his teeth and said, "Elder, it’s him, the man with the mask."

Hmm?

The Shi clan elder sized up Ye Qiu. Was he the one who defeated Shi Qingbing?

Immediately afterward, the Shi clan elder’s gaze shifted, looking at Tang Heshan and said, "Clan Leader Tang, isn’t this person right in your Tang clan? Your lie seems to have fallen apart."

Tang Heshan’s face turned embarrassed, as he had not expected Ye Qiu to appear here. Now it seemed even if he wanted to keep Ye Qiu, he probably couldn’t.

"Elder Shi, as you see, I have a poor memory. I thought my daughter had sent him back to the secular world, but apparently, she’s sending him back today. So, Elder Shi, why don’t you go back first, and I will personally deliver this person to the Shi clan later?" Tang Heshan said with a smile.

However, the Shi clan elder waved his hand and directly said, "No need, I’ll take this person with me now. There’s no need to trouble Clan Leader Tang."

Seeing that Ye Qiu was about to be taken away by the people of the Shi clan, elders like Tang Feng, Tang Hai, and Tang Yun all showed signs of urgency. If Ye Qiu were truly taken away now, their Tang clan would have completely missed the Emperor Level opportunity.

Trying to get Ye Qiu back from the Shi clan’s hands was an utter impossibility.

The eyes of several Tang clan elders shifted as they all spoke up, seeking to buy some time to extract the Emperor Level opportunity out of Ye Qiu.

However, the Shi clan elder was very resolute, not listening to their excuses at all.

Watching the back-and-forth between the two sides, Ye Qiu glanced over the crowd and said indifferently, "Excuse me, have any of you asked for my opinion?"
