Chapter 317 - Chapter 317: Chapter 310: The He Family Isn’t as Rich as Imagined_1 (2/2)

Asking for help is like swallowing a three-foot sword.

If he didn’t love his daughter to the marrow of his bones, why would he plead so earnestly with Qin Niu, a junior?

“Uncle Wang, things have not reached that point yet. But there is one thing I can assure you of, I will take good care of Wan Yan, cherish her, love her, and protect her for a lifetime.” Qin Niu had no intention of fleeing.

The benefits from those hundred acres of good farmland were indeed significant, especially with several acres of fertile black soil.

But in Qin Niu’s eyes, it was just so-so.

If he had not been confident in contending with the He Family, he would have certainly settled for peace, grudgingly letting the He Family push him around.

Just like when Wang Haikun had stolen his wolf skin, at that time, with his strength still weak, he did not stubbornly resist Wang Haikun.

Instead, he wisely “gifted” the wolf skin to the other party.

It wasn’t until later, when his strength grew stronger and even enabled him to dominate Wang Haikun’s elder brother, that he began to strike back powerfully.

Now, dealing with the He Family was the same.

Qin Niu was not impulsive or reckless, but had made the decision after much thought and deliberation.

“Ah Niu, do not try to act tough. The He Family has been established locally for hundreds of years, over three hundred years earlier than the Yan Family. Not to mention you, even the Yan Family would give them some leeway. Listen to your uncle’s advice and hurry up and flee with Wan Yan. This Sweaty Precious Horse is fast enough to help you both quickly escape Jade Stream Town.”

The meaning in Wang Furen’s words was very clear, he was telling Qin Niu to flee with Wang Wanyan.

In his eyes, Xiao Qing was just a servant, who would naturally be abandoned without hesitation when the master was in danger.

“Uncle Wang, trust me, if it really comes to the point of needing to flee for our lives, I will definitely take Wan Yan and you with me. We are not at that point yet.”

Qin Niu had taken a stroll in the deep mountains that day.

There was water in the mountains and the Ancient Banyan Tree served as a natural shelter. Even if the He Family had warriors in the Spirit Qi Realm, Qin Niu felt capable of handling them.

Furthermore, he would seize the time to cultivate insects, making them a formidable fighting force as well.

Seeing that he could not persuade Qin Niu, Wang Furen could only sigh heavily.

“Ah… You young people do not understand the severity, and you will suffer greatly sooner or later.”

That being said, Wang Furen had no way to enforce his will since Qin Niu refused to flee.

He was of advanced age, and his cultivation was no different from an ordinary person. He could not run far nor protect Wang Wanyan.

So he could only listen to Qin Niu and stay at home.

If they did not need to flee, that would naturally be for the best.

Qin Niu had already started to rummage through the corpse of the Innate Realm warrior, looking for valuables.

His movements were extremely skilled.

However, after the search, he had only found silver notes worth three hundred taels and some silver pieces.

This Innate Realm warrior from the He Family was really poor.

Moreover, his weapon had been destroyed.

It was better than nothing.

He then went to search the body of He Sire.

But as he approached, he smelled a stench of urine mixed with the smell of feces. This coward, what a disgrace.

When posturing, he was arrogant enough.

Who knew he was such a coward that he wet himself with fear at the moment of death.

Luckily, Qin Niu had a small gain from searching the body, finding silver notes and silver adding up to just over nine hundred taels. Almost a thousand taels.

“This is strange, is it that the local tycoons are too poor? Or have I recently become too rich?”

Qin Niu wondered to himself.

He wasn’t very clear about the financial situation of the local elite families.

He Sire, after all, was one of the seven sons of the He Family, managing their plantation industry, yet he had less than a thousand taels of cash on him.
