Chapter 102 - 99: Forced Marriage by Visitation
The efficiency of Spiritual Items Workshop didn’t disappoint Ye Xuan, as just a day and a half passed, and by the afternoon of the next day, Nie Tao had the required herbs sent over, with not a single item missing. As for the cost, Ye Xuan didn’t need to worry about that now; he had collected two to three million taels of gold at Black Annihilation Ridge, and had also extorted quite a fortune from Gu Yong, so he was not at all concerned about money.
Once the herbs were prepared, Ye Xuan began to concoct the Spiritual Medicine needed to restore his strength. The progress was going even smoother than he had anticipated, and he wondered if he could possibly complete his recovery a day or two ahead of schedule.
However, these serene days came to an abrupt end after four or five days when unexpected visitors came to call on Tang Residence.
If it had been a trivial matter, Ye Xuan wouldn’t have bothered, but the visitors this time were from the Cao family, and they brought quite a spectacle. Now, with Tang Zhen seriously injured and the entire Tang family being run by the young girl, Tang Xiaoyan, he had to step up to the plate because she certainly couldn’t suppress the situation on her own.
By the time he arrived at the front gate of the residence, a large group of Martial Artists had already gathered outside the gates of Tang Residence. These people all wore uniform attire, clearly from the same family – none other than the Cao family, which now had enough clout to dominate Green Sun County.
At the entrance of Tang Residence, there was also a considerable assembly of Tang family martial artists, but in terms of momentum, they were significantly weaker. After all, with Tang Zhen severely injured and the family lacking a leader, their confidence was naturally low. If a conflict were to arise now, it would surely not end well for them.
Leading the Cao family warriors was a feminine young man holding a folding fan, a faint smile eternally playing on his lips, seemingly in high spirits.
"Is that you, Cao Jian? What are your intentions, bringing so many people to my Tang family? Are you trying to start a war?" Seeing the young man, Tang Xiaoyan’s pretty face darkened, and her beautiful eyes undisguisedly showed a hint of disgust.
It seemed that Cao Jian caught a glimpse of the loathing exhibited by Tang Xiaoyan, and a cold glint flashed in the depths of his eyes, but it was well hidden. On the surface, he still wore a smile as warm as a spring breeze, as if he totally disregarded it, shaking his head while laughing, "Although our two families aren’t on the best of terms, that’s due to the conflicts caused by the older generation. Little Yan, I harbor no ill will towards you. I’ve come today to discuss a significant matter with you."
"No need, I have nothing to discuss with you."
