Chapter 159 – Forgotten Treasure

Lu Chang kept his head completely still, rolled his eyes down and saw Ye Wei’s Qi sword on his neck. He gulped, nervous, tried to sound as calm as possible, “Kid, don’t make a mistake! We are from The Lu family. Think twice before you accidentally end your own life.”

Lu Chang and Lu Ruoshan were slightly scared but they have not been challenged enough throughout the entirety of their lives to feel too threatened.

“Oh, is that so? Now, please, define the word mistake for me.” Ye Wei said coldly in Lu duo’s ears. He pressed his sword Qi harder onto their necks, the blood they were so proud of began to run down their necks. If Ye Wei was to apply more pressure, both Lu’s heads would be cut off clean.

‘This kid is out of his mind!’ Lu Ruoshan’s face turned ashen, shocked to by the young boy that was powerful enough to kill him, ‘He might not be bluffing… How could anyone become that strong without powerful and influential family behind him…’

Knowing better than to throw his live away, Lu Ruoshan took a deep breath and spoke reluctantly, “It’s our fault, we should have known better than to be disrespectful.”

Lu Chang, on his side, lowered his head too, refusing to let himself die young.

Ye Wei grunted as he saw the two softening up, and slowly deactivated the stance thinking, ‘Killing these two won’t do me any good. Instead it might just bring trouble upon my family…’

Officer Lei rubbed the blood off the corner of his lips and ordered the soldiers to tidy up the mess. “Vice-Principal, please!” He gave Ye Wei a good, respectful look, then turned his focus onto Xu He.

“We are leaving!” Xu He looked over at Ye Wei and Lu’s duo, returned into the runicle, and they began to move through the city gate.

All the students that were completely silent while watching the fight unrolling, started to talk all at once, curious about what just happened.

“Why would the Lu family send people to Green Moon City? What happened?”

“The Lu family is so obnoxious! Talking like if they owned this city!”

Liu Jian and a few students in the team were members of martial families. They were wary, listening while the other talked, sensed that something bad had happened while they were away and that they needed to hurry back to their families in case the Lu’s were indeed planning to take over.

Ye Wei’s heart fell into his feet, ‘What if the Lu family is actually looking to take over our ancestral land at North Hill Bay? Do they plan on controlling the entire city now? What the hell had happened in here?!’

Lu Ruoshan and Lu Chang were slowly recovering from the shock as they watched the runicle drive into the city.

Lu Chang’s eyes flashed with anger, “So we just let them go like this?” He wiped blood off his neck, still slightly startled and also overwhelmed by rage.

“What do you have in mind?” Lu Ruoshan looked curiously at his brother.

“We need to let the elders know about this. They will be able to deal with this kid without any problem!” said Lu Chang, infuriated.

Lu Ruoshan shook his head in disagreement, “No! You are not thinking straight. The elders are busy as they are. They barely have time to eat. Besides, it was just a teenage boy. How do you think we will look in our family’s eyes when they find out about this? If you really want to kill the boy, we need to plan it carefully and make it look like an accident to not provoke anyone!”

After hearing Lu Ruoshan’s sinister sharing, the anger in Lu Chang’s eyes slowly subsided. He couldn’t deny his brother’s words. Even though they were offended by Ye Wei’s actions, they would need to not act hotheaded.

Meanwhile, Ye Wei had entered the city together with Xu He and the rest of his team. “Vice Principal, I need to get back to my family as soon as possible. I hope you don’t mind if I leave you here.”

Xu He nodded solidly, he too felt that he had important matters in need of his immediate attention back in South Star. “If the Lu family really took over the city, I need to rush back to school now. If you or your family need anything you can find me there. South Star will never be under their jurisdiction and we will do anything to protect our students!”

Ye Wei was now one of the most valuable student of South Star, and Xu He was aware of it.

“Thank you, Vice Principal!” Ye Wei bowed respectfully and rushed home after bidding farewell.

On his way back, Ye Wei met few of his family members but none of them mentioned the Lu’s taking over the Ye family. He felt a bit relieved but was also concerned about Green Moon City as he finally heard some first hand information regarding its current state.

From the information he was able to gather, the Lu family entered the city shortly after Ye Wei left for the tournament and even the Green Moon City Lord did not have enough influence to say no to a family as powerful as the Lu’s. It was not long after the soft invasion when the City Lord gave up his men to instead be managed by the Lu’s, and after they took control over the forces, two Lu’s were sent to each of the martial families in Green Moon City for ‘administrational aid’.

‘Right after I left for the tournament… that means Lu Feng is not related to this invasion?’ Ye Wei frowned, frustrated as he couldn’t yet to put the pieces together.

“Do you know what the Lu family is after?” Asked Ye Wei while looking at the group of young Ye’s with an interrogating gaze.
