A while later, Huang Xiaolong asked, “Eldest Senior Apprentice-brother, the matter about you and Third Apprentice-sister, how is it now?”

Liu Yun’s smile froze on his face at Huang Xiaolong’s question, his face crestfallen. His mouth opened and closed, but no words came.

Watching Liu Yun’s reaction, a tiny frown furrowed Huang Xiaolong’s mouth forehead, “Did the QiAncestor go back on his word?!” His eyes gleamed as he asked this.

Liu Yun shook his head, explaining, “After we returned from the Yaochi Mountain, your Third Apprentice-sister and I immediately left to see the Qi Family Ancestor. When he saw the twenty-thousand high divine grade spirit stones, he already agreed to rescind Qi Wen’s betrothal with Zhu Family, but the Zhu Family’s side…” His voice trailed off.

Huang Xiaolong’s eyes narrowed, despite Liu Yun having left his words hanging, but Huang Xiaolong had already guessed what problem was; the Zhu Family’s Ancestor!

Huang Xiaolong’s tone turned somber, “Since the Qi Family Ancestor has already agreed to rescind the betrothal with the Zhu Family, it’s not the Zhu Family’s place to disagree, right? What's the reason for Zhu Family Ancestor to disagree?”

Liu Yun’s smile reflected the bitterness in his heart, “The year when the Qi and Zhu Families’ Ancestors set the betrothal, both sides had signed a blood contract. Unless both sides unanimously agree to dissolve the marriage, with the blood contract being in the Zhu Family Ancestor’s hand…”

Huang Xiaolong’s frown became deeper, “Did the Zhu Family Ancestor say under what conditions would he agree to dissolve the marriage?”

Liu Yun hesitated before saying, “The Zhu Family Ancestor said he would agree to dissolve it for twenty thousand high divine grade spirit stones,” Liu Yun paused then went on, “He also said that he must receive them before the Highgod Advancement Tournament.”

Huang Xiaolong snorted, this Zhu Family Ancestor was basically asking for the moon.

Twenty-thousand high divine grade spirit stones!

This Zhu Family seemed to believe that as his Master Feng Yang was due to yield the Principal seat, his Senior Apprentice-brother Liu Yun was just clay that he could squash and mold as they liked?

“Senior Apprentice-brother, come on, we’re making a trip to the Zhu Family’s main manor!” Irritation seeped into Huang Xiaolong’s heart thinking about this and got to his feet.

Liu Yun was flabbergasted: “Junior Apprentice-brother, you, this…”

Huang Xiaolong laughed, “It’s only twenty thousand high divine grade spirit stones, I can still afford it.” Of course, it depended on whether the Zhu Family was capable of taking them from his hands.

“But…” Liu Yun dithered.

It was already a favor bigger than heaven the last time Huang Xiaolong gave him twenty thousand high divine grade spirit stones, how could he be so thick-faced to have Huang Xiaolong tape out another twenty thousand high divine grade spirit stones?

This was also why, all these years, he had never gone to the Yaochi Mountain to visit Huang Xiaolong. Even when Huang Xiaolong came over, he did not bring up the matter.

“Rest assured, Eldest Senior Apprentice-brother, forget twenty thousand high divine grade spirit stones, even if it’s two hundred thousand high divine grade spirits stone, I still have them. Come, let’s go.” Watching Liu Yun’s expression, he understood what Liu Yun was thinking about, thus persuaded.

In the end, Liu Yun could only nod. He and Huang Xiaolong left the Black Warrior Institute in the direction of the Zhu Family’s New Stone World.

Stepping out from the New Stone World’s transmission array, Huang Xiaolong and Liu Yun did not dally elsewhere, directly heading to the New Stone City, where the Zhu Family’s main manor was located.

At this time, within the Zhu Family Manor’s great hall, the Zhu Family’s Patriarch, Zhu Chu, and other masters of the family were gathered with grim faces looking at the cold corpse on the floor that was Zhu Wuhou.

“Huang Xiaolong is intolerable, he isn't putting our Zhu Family in his eyes at all!” A Zhu Family Grand Elder seethed.

“Patriarch, this matter cannot be allowed to end like this!” Another Grand Elder raised his voice in anger, “One should pay with a life for a life, we cannot let that Huang Xiaolong off just because he’s the personal disciple of the Ascending Moon Old Man and the Black Warrior Institute Principal!”

“That’s right, we should storm the Black Warrior Institute and demand that Feng Yang hand Huang Xiaolong to us!”

“Kill Huang Xiaolong, skin him alive!’

The Zhu Family’s Grand Elders were outraged.
