Chapter 663 - 656_1
Master Xue didn’t do it on purpose; he merely subconsciously thought it was impossibilities and he didn’t notice that his tone was somewhat demeaning. Besides, the person in question was a bandit who had rescued him. After all, no matter how capable he was or how good his skills were, he was ultimately just a servant. For the sake of servants like him, madam had already made a great effort to take action against the men in black once, which could be described as showing great loyalty and righteousness. Moreover, he also understood that, no matter what, the Zhao Family originated from peasant roots, without any foundation or wealth. Even if they wanted to save him, they couldn’t possibly have any other means at their disposal.
Master Xue had just lost hope when he heard such words, which were hard to believe for anyone, especially since his own family was still in madam’s hands. The madam knew his character well, and even without considering his loyalty, for the sake of his family, he would not divulge information to the men in black. He knew that madam understood this principle. Furthermore, before he had left, he had already handed over the glass formula to madam in full.
"How can it not be possible? I see that although you folks are clever, you also concern yourselves with twisted and complicated matters. Madam Lin didn’t just spend eighteen thousand taels of silver, she also came personally to Longhu Mountain to negotiate with our leader. She’s on the mountain right now, and in a moment, you will be able to meet her. Then you will naturally understand that what we’re saying is true. Besides, we have no need to deceive you—your life is in our hands after all."
After listening, Master Xue trembled, his face full of disbelief. "What! Madam has personally come to Longhu Mountain? How could she take such a risk?! How is this possible." If Master Xue was surprised before, he was now thoroughly shocked, and filled with immense gratitude and comfort.
Chang Dabao didn’t take issue with Master Xue; he could tell that Master Xue wasn’t a malicious person and was loyal. Otherwise, Madam Lin wouldn’t have gone to such lengths to save someone. Because of the eighteen thousand taels of silver, he had to treat Master Xue carefully.
"You, carry him on your back, and bring him back to the mountain," Chang Dabao said, understanding that Master Xue needed time to accept the situation. Although the injuries on Master Xue’s body were not fatal, they still made it difficult for him to move, so he simply ordered someone to carry Master Xue.
Ever since Huangfu Yi had picked off a few of the men in black, he had been standing by and watching the battle. He left everything to Chang Dabao and the brothers of the stronghold, and once he was sure that Master Xue was rescued, he himself had returned to the mountains earlier, playing the role of a hands-off manager. In fact, it was only because the Yin Family had dispatched Hidden Guards this time that he had intervened; otherwise, he would have just arranged the plan and let Chang Dabao carry it out.
"How did it go? Was the person saved? Why did you come back first? Where are they?" Lin Yue knew about the time Huangfu Yi and his men were to rescue the person. Huangfu Yi hadn’t intended to hide it, and besides, when so many people were suddenly missing from the stronghold, it was evident what they were up to.
Seeing Huangfu Yi and the brothers from the stronghold set out, Lin Yue had been waiting in front of the residence’s door to get the news as soon as possible. When she saw Huangfu Yi returning, she quickly ran over to inquire about the situation.
"Don’t worry, I made a promise and I will keep it. Master Xue has been rescued, and even those men in black have been captured by me. They’re being escorted by Chang Dabao and are right behind. In no more than half an hour, they will also be back. Don’t be anxious; when they return, they will naturally bring him before you."
