Chapter 4: I Dare

In Green Cloud City, the gloomy sky suddenly started to rain.

"Waa… Second Grandfather… Third Grandfather… Lingyu does not want to marry…"

Accompanied by the sound of rain, in the Yi family hall, a girl knelt and cried out.

The girl wore a blue shirt, her figure graceful, and on her slightly chubby face, two charming dimples appeared, very sweet.

In her swollen eyes, a pair of lively eyes, filled with tears at that moment, looked around the people, full of plea.

Beside her, two groups of people sat stiffly, one group was the Lei family who came to propose, and the other group was the high-ranking members of the Yi family.

"Marriage is a big matter; it cannot be decided by a young one. Since the young master is so sincere in proposing, you should go along with him. Regardless of good or bad, the Lei family is one of the three great families of Green Cloud City and will not treat you poorly."

An old man in the hall responded coldly.

This was exactly the Third Grandfather the girl mentioned.

The girl looked around the people with despair in her eyes, finally landing on the boy in the yellow shirt in the center to her right, her eyes filled with fear.

This was Lei Yuhu, the young master of the Lei family, known in Green Cloud City as a troublemaker, who once forcefully took a woman in the street. When her family came to confront him, Lei Yuhu not only did not back down but also killed them right away.

In all of Green Cloud City, countless innocent families have suffered because of him.

Looking at the girl before him, Lei Yuhu’s eyes were filled with wicked thoughts as he said, "Don’t worry, Lingyu. As long as you marry into the Lei family, I promise to take good care of you."

The girl named Lingyu was Yi Qianmo’s little sister.

Yi Lingyu collapsed to the ground, her body shaking.

At that moment, a middle-aged man walked up to Yi Lingyu and knelt beside her, saying, "Uncle, Lingyu is only thirteen years old. If she is to marry, it should be after she is an adult."

"Not only is Lingyu thirteen, but even if there is to be an engagement, we should wait for the clan leader to return before making any decisions," another middle-aged man stepped forward, his tone firm.

"Slap."

The old man in the main seat slammed the table and said angrily, "According to you two brothers, do I not have the right to make decisions?"

Hearing this, the middle-aged man beside Yi Lingyu immediately lowered his head in silence, but the middle-aged man with a stiff tone stared angrily at the Second Elder in front of him and replied, "The marriage between the Yi family and the Lei family is such an important matter that it naturally requires the clan leader to decide; besides, the clan leader is Lingyu’s real grandfather!"

"Yi Tianyang, are you saying that I, this Second Grandfather, am not a Grandpa?"

The Second Elder in the main seat said coldly.

He was Yi Lingyu’s Second Grandfather Yi Dajiang and also the current leader of the Yi family.

The middle-aged man named Yi Tianyang suddenly had no words to say, only gripping his fists tightly, with anger in his eyes.

"That’s really amazing!"

At that moment, Lei Yuhu stood up and smiled, saying, "However, you were mistaken just now. I am not here to get married; the Yi family and our Lei family are not forming a union. I am here to take a concubine, and Yi Lingyu marrying into the Lei family is only to be a concubine. Do I really need your clan leader’s approval to take a concubine?"

"You!!!"

Yi Tianyang turned and glared at him, "Don’t think I don’t know, you guys are…"

Before he could finish his sentence, Lei Yuhu gave a glance, and a shadow appeared beside him, rushing to Yi Tianyang and raising a hand to throw a punch.

"Bang!"

As a first-class martial artist, Yi Tianyang showed no sign of reaction and was knocked away by that punch.

"Puff"

Blood sprayed from his mouth, and Yi Tianyang’s face turned pale. He lifted his head, his body slightly shaking, with fear in his eyes, "Acquired stage master!"

Upon hearing those four words, everyone from the Yi family in the hall gasped because in the entire Yi family, there was only one acquired stage master, their reclusive patriarch.

However, besides the five first-class experts beside Lei Yuhu, there was also a hidden master!

To act so recklessly in the Yi family hall, this was the Lei family!

When the acquired stage master returned, Lei Yuhu put away his smile and coldly said, "I tell you, I am here today to take a concubine, not to ask for your opinion. Whether you agree or not, I am taking this person with me today. From now on, she will be my concubine, and I dare anyone from the Yi family to stop me!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall fell silent. Yi Tianyang lay on the ground, fists clenched, his eyes full of hatred, while the rest of the Yi family lowered their heads.

The middle-aged man beside Yi Lingyu opened his mouth but swallowed the words back down.

"I dare!!!"

A cold voice rang out, sending a chill through everyone in the hall. They looked up together, and the voice came from outside the hall.

As they looked out, they saw a young boy walking in the rain, his hair disheveled and his clothes soaked. In his deep-set eyes, there were sharp eyes that stared at them like an eagle.

He walked into the hall like a devil from hell.

Everyone present was puzzled, especially Lei Yuhu, who fixed his gaze on the boy and asked, "Who are you, that you dare to interfere in my Lei family’s matters?"

"Brother…"

The boy did not speak, and suddenly Yi Lingyu, who was lying on the ground, stood up and jumped into the boy’s arms, crying loudly!

The person who came was Yi Qianmo. No one in the Yi family knew him, and even the Lei family did not recognize him. He had entered the Yu family as a five-year-old, but now he looked completely different.

Only Yi Lingyu recognized him because, over the past thirteen years, she was the only one allowed to visit the Yu family, but it was only once a year.

But for Yi Qianmo, this yearly visit was the belief that kept him going.

"Don’t cry, big brother is back, so no one can bully you!"

Yi Qianmo hugged his sister tightly.

Thinking about the dark and hopeless life over these thirteen years, he had watched his sister grow up. Whenever he felt despair, her face would appear in his mind, and she was his hope for those thirteen years.

"You are… Yi Qianmo? You actually came back!"

Watching the siblings embrace, the members of the Yi family in the hall had mixed expressions, and several elders showed fear on their faces.

They stared intensely at Yi Qianmo, wishing they could kill him immediately, because they knew what his return meant.

"Qianmo…" Yi Tianyang on the ground stared blankly for a long time, but his eyes were filled with guilt.

"I thought the Yi family had invited some expert, but it turns out he has been with the Yu family for thirteen years, serving as Yu Youwei’s consort!"

A sharp voice interrupted Yi Qianmo’s thoughts.

Lei Yuhu looked at Yi Qianmo in surprise, because he knew what had happened in the Yu family over the past thirteen years, and the whole Green Cloud City was shaken by it.

They all believed that at this moment, Yi Qianmo had no more use; he must cling to the Yu family to make the other powers cautious.

And Lei Yuhu came to take a concubine, naturally also considering the Yu family, so he did not dare to pressure as he did thirteen years ago; taking a concubine was merely a tactic.
