Chapter 113 - Chapter 113: Chapter 108: Wang Yue Requests an Audience with Master Qin i (2/2)
Xiao Qing came out to answer.
After the crowd heard this, they almost burst out laughing.
Wang Yue, in a low voice, humbly requesting an audience, had already shocked everyone.
But to everyone’s surprise, Ah Niu said he had to defecate and told Wang Yue to wait outside.
Not even inviting him inside, this was clearly a deliberate show of power against Wang Yue!
Yet Wang Yue had no temper at all, dutifully waiting outside the house.
Wang Haikun by now, no matter how foolish, knew something was amiss.
He shivered with pain, his complexion turning ashen.
Had his own brother lost his mind? Why was he being so polite to Qin Niu?
Being a reserve soldier in the Black Armored Army wasn’t something just anyone could achieve.
That status was already quite high.
As time trickled by, Wang Haikun, enduring unbearable pain, pleaded with his brother who was standing outside the courtyard gate.
“Brother, why are you afraid of him? Just get rid of him and that’s that…”
“Shut up! If you want to live, close your damn mouth, tuck in your tail, and keep your head down.”
Wang Yue’s face was iron blue.
This morning he had rushed home, only to be told by his younger brother that he’d been bullied by a youngster in the village and couldn’t show his face around the village anymore.
He took it for the truth and sent Wang Haikun to convey a message, to call that young man over.
Little did he expect that Wang Haikun, always stirring up trouble, was inadequate in everything but causing failures.
Seeing Tang Caixian blossom into a charming beauty, he was moved by lust, and then had his hand amputated by Qin Niu.
There might have still been room for maneuvering before, but now that the situation had escalated, one side had to bow down.
After learning about Qin Niu’s identity, Wang Yue broke out in a cold sweat.
He knew his brother had offended someone he shouldn’t have.
After a full half hour, Xiao Qing came out of the house again.
“My master invites Mr. Wang inside!”
She opened the courtyard door.
Though it was just a simple wicker gate, Wang Yue didn’t dare overstep the slightest bit because Qin Niu now held the title of Insect Master.
The home of an Insect Master—who would dare to enter without permission?
Break in?
Wang Haikun served as a bloody lesson.
Wang Yue walked into the courtyard with the gifts in hand, thinking to himself how incredibly poor it was inside, utterly dilapidated.
Yet he dared not act with any audacity.
In the rundown main hall, Qin Niu sat there, his face indifferent.
He did not show the slightest intention of rising to greet him.
This was a stance.
To let Wang Yue realize who was superior and who was inferior.
“Wang Yue pays respect to A/laster Qin! Congratulations to Master Qin on becoming the second Insect Master to emerge from Shuangfeng Village.”
“Uncle Wang Yue is too courteous! Please sit!”
Qin Niu, seeing the other party soften, also called him Uncle Wang Yue.
As a child, Wang Yue had extraordinary martial cultivation talent and had achieved the Twofold level as a common person rather early.
But his ambitions were great; he was unwilling to be employed as a Protector by the Yan Family and instead went to the city to strive for success.
After so many years of effort, he had become a substitute soldier in the Black Armored Army, which was no small feat.
As far as Qin Niu knew, to be part of the Black Armored Army, one must possess at least a Tenfold cultivation level as a common person. To be a substitute, one needed at least an Eightfold level, and even then, some connections or background were required.
For someone like Wang Yue with no connections or background, and without the support of a powerful family, it was estimated that a Ninefold common person level was necessary to squeeze in.
Wang Yue didn’t immediately take a seat, instead presenting the hefty gift he was carrying.
“I have been serving in the army for these past years, and nearly all the silver coins I earned went into my personal cultivation and bribing my superiors, leaving little to spare. This is a piece of soft armor 1 acquired on the battlefield. While it is not top-grade, it does represent my sincere regard for Master Qin. My younger brother Haikun is ignorant and has offended Master Qin greatly; 1 stand in for him to offer an apology. 1 beseech Master Qin to be magnanimous and forgive him this once.
In the future, I will surely strictly discipline him and ensure he doesn’t cause any more mischief in the village.”
Wang Yue bowed, extending a flat package wrapped in red cloth with both hands.
Qin Niu did not rush to accept the gift.
Instead, he spoke indifferently, “I severed your brother’s right arm, creating a deep-seated grudge. Haven’t you and your brother thought of taking revenge on me?”
His gaze was fixed firmly on Wang Yue.
At this moment, if Wang Yue responded incorrectly, Qin Niu would certainly eliminate the root of the problem in the future.
Cold sweat beaded on Wang Yue’s forehead.
Under the gaze of a young man, he felt a pressure as formidable as a mountain.
“Everything is due to my brother’s own fault; we wouldn’t dare to harbor the slightest resentment against Master Qin. If in the future any members of the Wang Family attempt any act of revenge, may the heavens strike us with lightning, and may we die a horrible death.”
Wang Yue was a ruthless man himself, swearing an oath whilst pointing to the heavens, to show his sincerity..
