Chapter 1249: Cleaning House (3)
"You..." the leader of the assassins frowned, the words of this pretty young master... they didn’t sound like Jianghu at all. Could it be that he wasn’t from the martial world?
"What do you mean, ’you’? Didn’t your mother teach you to keep a low profile when you’re out and about? So many people beating on one, even we can’t stand to watch..." Yang Ruxin didn’t give him a chance to speak, "If you’ve got the guts, fight him one-on-one, or let him gather enough people too, then you fight; that would be fair..."
Upon hearing this, the people around laughed, knowing that these two young masters were definitely not part of Jianghu, wondering which noble family they came from. They were pretending to fight injustice and act the hero.
The assassins also slightly relaxed their brows; indeed, these were not people of Jianghu.
The leader’s expression also softened a bit, "If the two masters want to defend justice, please do so elsewhere. This is not the place for you to play the good guys... We are settling our own clan’s matters. This kid stole the heirloom treasure of our sect and wounded many of our brothers before fleeing..." After three years of pursuit, they had finally found the boy, and they managed to wound him when he wasn’t paying attention. They couldn’t let him escape again, or they wouldn’t be able to explain themselves to the Sect Leader when they returned.
In the Jianghu, every sect had its own rules. Once you joined a sect, you must abide by its rules; otherwise, it was regarded as betrayal. Cleaning house was a process that other people in the Jianghu were not allowed to interfere with, or it would mean making an enemy of the entire sect.
Moreover, those who betrayed their Sect were like mistresses in future generations; they were despised and targeted by everyone, and no one would intervene if they saw it happening.
Of course, if one didn’t know about it, that would be another matter. But now that they had made it clear, it would be wrong to get involved.
"I am not one of them; I am a person from the Yu Family..." said the man who was at death’s door, suddenly asserting with effort, "I didn’t steal..." After saying that, he struggled to breathe heavily.
Upon hearing this, the faces of the assassins changed, and they were about to move in for the kill.
