Eat Little Almonds
Chapter 242 A Turn for the Better
Disbelief filled the eyes of the various family members.
A mere low-level nobody dared to call the Qin family head, Qin Cangtian, an old bastard? And even threatened to drag Qin Cangtian down with him to die?
Was this kid always this brave?
What's the difference between this and an ant threatening an elephant, saying I'll trip you up in a moment?
The first reaction in everyone's mind was disbelief, followed by absurdity. It was simply too absurd.
But even with such an absurd thing, a drop of cold sweat slid down Qin Cangtian's temple.
Looking at Qiao Yu's fierce eyes, the seasoned Qin Cangtian had a premonition that the man in front of him, the same age as his grandson, could really kill him!
Qin Cangtian couldn't say why he had this premonition, but it was extremely strong.
At thirty, one stands firm; at forty, one has no doubts; at fifty, one knows the mandate of heaven; at sixty, one's ear is attuned; at seventy, one can follow one's heart's desire.
Having lived to Qin Cangtian's age, he should have seen everything, but now he actually felt a sense of trepidation towards a young man almost fifty years his junior.
"Qin family members, attack! Capture him, dead or alive!"
Qin Cangtian took a deep breath and gave the order. He, Qin Cangtian, simply refused to believe in this nonsense. He refused to believe that a mere low-level could really kill him!
"Yes!"
The Qin family members who received the order surrounded Qiao Yu, eager to fight.
"wdnmd!"
Qiao Yu's expression was cold, and two Recognize the Thief as Father Cards silently appeared in his hands. The Fang Tian Hua Ji (halberd) in his storage space was ready to be unleashed.
Because of Zuo Yu's matter, he already had a belly full of anger with nowhere to vent.
Since the Qin family insisted on fighting him to the death, then he would drag Qin Cangtian, that old bastard, down with him as a sacrifice before he died.
"Gong Ru..."
Just as Qiao Yu shouted the first two words, an old man in a wheelchair appeared in front of him.
Tang Wumou raised his head and met Qin Cangtian's gaze.
"Qiao Yu is my Tang family's son-in-law. If you touch him, then my Tang family will start a full-scale war with your Qin family."
Tang Wumou's voice was sonorous and powerful, like a boulder砸 (zá) falling into a calm lake, stirring up stormy waves in the hearts of everyone present.
Tang Wumou was willing to start a full-scale war with the Qin family for that kid named Qiao Yu?
This wasn't just your Tang family's son-in-law, this kid was probably Tang Wumou's own father, right?
Qin Cangtian's face instantly darkened.
"Tang Wumou, do you want the Tang family to be destroyed?"
"If we go to war, the Tang family will definitely be destroyed, but before we die, biting off a few pieces of flesh from your Qin family will definitely not be a problem. At that time..."
Tang Wumou raised his deep eyes, first glanced at the Ji family and the Xiao family, and then looked at those weaker families, asking Qin Cangtian.
"When your Qin family is badly hurt, do you think these people will rush up like wolves smelling blood?"
Qin Cangtian's face became very ugly.
What Tang Wumou said was completely true. This was also why the other three major families still dared not move against the Tang family, even though they were already weak. They could only use the family conference to weaken the Tang family.
If two families go to war, it is not just a war in the inner world, but also a series of competitions in the business and political circles of the real world. A single hair can move the whole body, and it is definitely not as simple as a gang fight.
"Besides, the Ghost Mountain instance dungeon, life and death are destined, wealth and status depend on fate, this has always been the rule. Could it be that the lives of your Qin family are more precious than those of other families?"
Tang Wumou's move directly forced Qin Cangtian into an untenable position, and many of the surrounding small families began to whisper.
"When our people die, it's life and death are destined, wealth and status depend on fate, but when their Qin family people die, they want to seek revenge? We're all people, so why?"
"That's right, are kings, nobles, generals, and ministers born with a silver spoon in their mouths?"
"The Qin family is too domineering, they're notorious hypocrites!"
Burning with anger, Qin Cangtian took a deep breath. He first glanced at Qiao Yu, and then turned his gaze to Tang Wumou.
He knew that it was definitely impossible to capture Qiao Yu today. If his Qin family continued to attack, they would be incurring public wrath.
"Good! Good! Good! Very good!"
"Tang Wumou, your Tang family will definitely pay the price for what happened today! Let's go!"
Qin Cangtian coldly left a sentence and turned to leave.
Before leaving, Qin Hao glared at Qiao Yu fiercely, while Qin Ke's eyes were somewhat complicated when she looked at Qiao Yu.
With the Qin family's departure, other families also began to leave one after another.
Originally, they thought it would be an ordinary Kyoto family conference, but they didn't expect that such a big accident would occur in the end.
They didn't forget that the center of this accident was stirred up by a man named Qiao Yu.
"Old... Family Head Tang, thank you." Qiao Yu thanked Tang Wumou.
Regardless of whether this old bastard had other intentions towards him, at least for now, Tang Wumou had nothing to say about him.
"Son-in-law, you don't need to thank me. You're working for my Tang family, so it's natural for me to protect you!" Tang Wumou chuckled.
"Then Family Head Tang, I'll take my leave first." Qiao Yu hurriedly said goodbye. He couldn't wait to investigate the news related to Zuo Yu.
"Not so fast!"
Tang Wumou's skinny hand rested on Qiao Yu's shoulder.
"Son-in-law, have you forgotten? You helped my Tang family maintain its status as one of the four major families, so I'll make an exception and let you enter my Tang family's ancestral land."
"There's no need to make an exception. What else is in the ancestral land besides ancestral graves? Do you want me to sneak in and eat the offerings of the Tang family ancestors?" Qiao Yu refused without even thinking.
Tang Wumou smiled and shook his head.
"Son-in-law, you're really joking. Don't worry, it won't take you much time, and it will definitely be beneficial to you."
"Besides, I, Tang Wumou, am a man of my word. I always keep my promises. Son-in-law, do you want me, Tang Wumou, to be a person who doesn't keep his word before I enter the grave?"
"Then... alright." Qiao Yu hesitated for a moment, but still agreed.
After all, if Tang Wumou hadn't intervened just now, he would have had no choice but to die together with Qin Cangtian today.
Rounding it up, Tang Wumou also had a life-saving grace for him.
Qiao Yu mixed in with the Tang family's team and returned to the Tang family together.
Along the way, Tang Aotian kept his head down, not daring to look at Qiao Yu.
Tang Lan, on the other hand, looked at him with a curious expression. Qiao Yu felt a little uneasy being stared at by Tang Lan.
He vaguely felt that Tang Lan's gaze was very eerie, as if she wanted to devour him.
After being watched all the way, Qiao Yu finally couldn't help but ask politely.
"Are you looking at your father?"
Faced with Qiao Yu's polite greeting, Tang Lan was not angry, but giggled.
Her slender waist swayed gently, making the eyes of many men around her light up.
"It's nothing, the more I look at you, the more I feel that you are indeed very suitable to be my, Tang Lan's, man." Tang Lan said with a smile.
"I'm sorry, you're a good girl, but I'm too big, you can't handle it." Qiao Yu refused righteously.
"Really? You saying that actually makes me especially curious~" Tang Lan opened her rosy little mouth and stuck out her soft little tongue to lick her lips.
That charming look made Qiao Yu's breathing a little rapid.
He simply turned his head away and ignored Tang Lan.
……
"Report! Sir, we didn't catch Qiao Yu, and we also lost four brothers, but that kid has formed a deadly feud with the Qin family..."
Outside Su City.
A group of black-robed men knelt on one knee in front of a man in a suit and leather shoes. Lin Lang was among the black-robed men, and the leader of the black-robed men was reporting everything that happened in the Ghost Mountain instance dungeon.
"Please punish us, sir!"
After finishing speaking, the many black-robed men knelt on the ground in unison.
"A bunch of trash! Twenty mid-levels couldn't even catch a low-level, what else can you do?"
The man's tone was cold.
"However, Qin Xuan dying at Qiao Yu's hands is a good thing. This also means that Ji Pingyang can no longer protect him like before."
"I'm very angry right now!"
The man reached out and pulled a charming woman from the side, pressing her head down, and then the man's irritable expression finally eased.
If Qiao Yu were present and saw this woman, he would definitely be shocked speechless, because this woman was actually Hua Ci!
Wasn't Hua Ci already arrested by the official people of Su City?
