The Capital, Qingyang Lane
Thecoarse he down his face trained a set of blade techniques
The yard was exceedingly roo and tall walls, with it’s spacious layout overall, all spoke of the great fortune and prosperity that had once graced this yard
Except, much of the red lacquer had been chipped away fro rather inand tall walls also showed soaps, and seemed to be unable to withstand the wind and rain from the outside
The spacious internal layout appeared empty and deserted as well, with no trace of any decent furniture to be found
No matter how illustrious and wealthy this house had once been, the oho lived here now had absolutely come down in the world This was verified by every detail
Except, the youth in the yard didn’t seem to want to accept this harsh reality He trained in an exceedingly desperate fashi+on, with the e him He had practiced this set of blade techniques whenever he heard the rooster’s crow, everyday, for no less than eight years
He had no other choice He seeain the lost splendor, and find the illustrious eain
The red lacquered doors were banged open
A crowd of nefarious servants like a pack of tigers and wolves barged in, gathered around a youth around twenty years old
“Guo Jin, you’re keeping your poise alright You’re still in theup this house and its surrounding yard or not?”
The youth’s smile was sinister and ruthless, and his tone was that of co youth was at the former’s mercy
The youth Guo Jin stopped and rested his blade on his shoulders, saying coldly “You, with the Zhuo surname, this house and its yards have been passed down frolory ofelse, but you should forever drop the idea of having ?” The Zhuo surnaly “Then let’s tally up our accounts clearly You ca house last year to borrow ten thousand silver It’s been one full year by now Co both principal and interest, you need to return fifteen thousand silver Either you immediately pay up, or I’ll immediately make a statement to the local authorities to i you that the local authorities will s you whole, without leaving not hty thousand silver to you right now If we go to the local authorities, if there’s even ten thousand or eight thousand silver left to you, it’ll be because you were lucky enough that the auspicious sign of green sraves appeared”
This ‘Zhou Tan’ was the young boss of the biggest fir itimate and shady ways He had taken a fancy to this house and had no doubts in his mind that he could handle this friendless and helpless youth whose fah the local authorities or through otherman Guo Jin only shook his head, “Zhou Tan, kill ive up this house”
“Betray your ancestors?” Zhou Tan laughed a rather h “You think too much You’re a youth who simply doesn’t know any better How could you still have the face to mention your ancestors with your infamous father, that ar ago and found a remote backwater location to hide in”
Deserter!
It was as if that as like lightning, causing the youth Guo Jin’s body to slightly convulse all over His originally so intent like that of wild beasts gone ain!”
The hand clasping the blade’s hilt trehtly as Guo Jin’s eyes filht to his death at any second
His father was a taboo subject that could not be touched in Guo Jin’s heart!
“Huh To speak of this matter or not, this reputation already exists in the capital Even if you forbidmouths in the capital?” Zhou Tan obviously didn’t take much notice of Guo Jin’s ferocity
However, he was here to scheht until one of them died
“Bullshi+t, this is all bullshi+t! I’ve said that my father wasn’t an arht whoever says he’s a deserter Zhou Tan, just try saying that one ed out as the youth roared, his black face flushi+ng scarlet, apparently angry to the utmost
Zhou Tan’s face darkened, “Guo Jin, I have no interest in your father’s affairs I’ive you a final ultih the local authorities to impound your house! You only have these two choices! Don’t think you can foolfront That little bit of fortune and glory your ancestors had is long gone by now And even if it was still present, so what?
I, Zhou Tan, a a fancy to your house If it was another one, and you were beggingto!
Kids, get ready If that kid Guo is insensible like a block of wood, then throw him and the old one out with random blows fros if they die!”
It was apparent that Zhou Tan was pretty much out of patience
The crew of nefarious servants were all rubbing their fists and wiping their pal closer with reat wave of his blade and raged, “Whoever dares come forth dies first!”
Zhou Tan said coldly, “Kid Guo, looks like you refuse to give up until all hope is gone Rush him, it’s on me if you beat him to death”
Papapapa!
