Chapter 89 You Want to Stop Me? (1/2)

“Sister Zixi, Brother Zhou… is from the Valley of Medicine Masters?” Seeing how afraid all three generations of the Shi family were that the young man was from the Valley, Ren Jiapei could not help but lean into Yang Zixi’s ear and whisper.

“I don’t know,” replied Yang Zixi. She looked equally lost. “I don’t… think so?” She remembered that Brother Zhou had told her that he had grown up in Yunfeng prefecture, and this was the first time that he had left the prefecture.

Of course, Zhou Donghuang had told her this because it was indeed his first time leaving Yunfeng prefecture on such a long journey in this life. In his previous life, he had gone much further, even being brought to a faraway planet, Earth.

“No?” Ren Jiapei was somewhat disappointed, but not afraid because the young man had already displayed immense power. Furthermore, despite knowing that the Shi family had a level-eight adept, he had been bold enough to enter the house in this manner. Surely, he did not fear them.

After about fifteen minutes, Shi Hao led Yang Yunji to the hall in the Shi family household. The Shi family chief had ridden a ferghana horse to the Yang family and brought the Yang family chief here directly.

“Chief Shi, you have yet to tell me why you brought me here in such a hurry?” Yang Yunji asked as they reached the hall in the Shi family household. He sounded confused.

“You’ll find out once we go in,” Shi Hao replied as they entered the hall.

Yang Yunji followed him in. Immediately, he saw his nephew, Yang Zixi, whom he had chased out of the Yang family, standing behind the head seat in the hall, looking like she owned the place. He was not surprised to see Ren Jiapei beside her, as he had known that First Lady Ren had taken his niece in, though there was nothing he could do about it. Finally, his gaze landed on the young man sitting on the head seat arrogantly.

“It’s you?!” Yang Yunji was first taken aback, then asked incredulously, “You… what are you doing here?”

Yang Yunji could not imagine why this bum from an inferior prefecture was sitting on the head seat in the Shi family hall. Furthermore, now, even the old Shi family chief, a level-eight adept, was standing beneath him, looking afraid of the young man.

Could it be that he had been mistaken?

“Young Master Donghuang, I’ve brought him here… now, can you please tell us?” Shi Hao stared at Zhou Donghuang and asked.

“Tell you what?” Zhou Donghuang replied flatly.

“Young Master Donghuang, are you from the Valley of Medicine Masters?” pressed Shi Hao.

“Valley of Medicine Masters?” Initially, upon seeing Shi Hao, the chief of the tycoon Shi family, treat the young man so respectfully, Yang Yunji’s expression had changed slightly. Now, the color drained from his face.

Valley of Medicine Masters? Wasn’t this lad from an inferior prefecture? How could he be from the valley?

“No,” answered Zhou Donghuang.

“No?” Shi Hao’s eyes flashed, as the rest all heaved a sigh of relief. They did not think that Zhou Donghuang would deny it, because in such circumstances, at least he had not lied by saying “yes.”

“So Young Master Donghuang… which family clan are you from?” Shi Hao continued.

“Stop probing,” said Zhou Donghuang as he stood up suddenly. “I have no family backing me… as for me, I was born and raised in the inferior Yunfeng prefecture. I have an adopted mother who was a disciple of a lesser family in Yunfeng prefecture, but she has left that family now.” Zhou Donghuang revealed his entire background.

“If you really want to know about my background… I, Zhou Donghuang, am my own background!” As he said this, his eyes flashed like the sparkling stars in the night sky. An aura of confidence seemed to surround him, as if there was nothing in this world that he feared.

“Chief Shi, I was wondering why you brought me here so hurriedly, so it is because you thought that this country bumpkin was from the Valley of Medicine Masters… you’ve been overthinking, disciples of the Valley are not like cabbages that can be found anywhere,” Yang Yunji said as he laughed, shaking his head.

“If you’re not from the Valley, how dare you be so brazen in my home?” Shi Hao turned to Zhou Donghuang again, his gaze icy cold. He stepped forward as he declared, “Today, since you have come to our Shi family, don’t think of leaving!”

Shi Ji stood at the side, frowning slightly as he looked at the young man. If this man had no family background, how could he be so arrogant? He could not fathom what was the source of his confidence if he lacked a family backing. Was he simply putting on a front? Or pulling a bluff?

“Then I want to see, if I want to leave… how will you stop me?” Zhou Donghuang strode towards Shi Hao.

Just as Shi Hao was also wondering why this young man was so arrogant, Yang Yunji laughed coldly, “Lad, someone like you doesn’t need the Shi family chief to get his hands dirty, I can send you on your way myself!”

With that, Yang Yunji ran towards Zhou Donghuang using a lesser-grade swiftness technique.

Hwah!! Yang Yunji reached Zhou Donghuang, his palm outstretched. He looked formidable, his power as a level-six adept fully displayed.

Just as Yang Yunji was about to attack Zhou Donghuang, Zhou Donghuang struck Yang Yunji’s palm with his right palm in a lightning-fast motion, without so much of a glance in his direction.
