Chapter 1545: A Daughter Out Of Nowhere
Li Qiye slowly turned around to look at Wenren Jianshi and chuckled: âI donât need you to treat me since not just anyone is qualified to do so.â Having said that, he casually threw a refined jade piece on the table as the payment.
The shopkeeper was salivating after seeing the refined jade but he didnât dare to get it since Wenren Jianshi was still around.
Jianshiâs followersâ expression sank after hearing this. Some experts wanted to step up but were stopped by Jianshi.
He stared at Li Qiye for a moment and raised his brows. He couldnât see through this man ahead at all. The guy looked very ordinary but was completely unperturbed in the face of danger.
âExcuse us then.â He cupped his fists and said, not wanting to provoke Li Qiye.
He headed towards the corner and told the woman: âLilâ Sis, come back with me. Father has ordered to bring you back!â
The woman lowered her head without saying anything. She was holding onto her sleeves under the table, seemingly thinking about breaking through the containment to run.
âSis, you know that you have no chance of escaping.â Jianshi spoke gravely: âIf youâre not thinking for your own sake, at least think about your child.â He gently signed as his eyes fell upon the little girl behind her.
The woman didnât respond but she clearly hesitated for a moment. After a long time, she finally looked at him: âEldest Brother, let me go out of consideration for sibling love and our time together.â
Jianshi sighed again and shook his head: âSis, you know that this isnât up to me. The Dongfang Clan wants an answer and Father wonât let this go either unless you name that person! But I can guarantee you about you and your childâs safety. Thatâs all I can do.â
She pinched her sleeves again before answering: âI wonât return and wonât go to the Dongfang Clan either. Thatâs already a thing of the past!â
âIt is indeed in the past but someone must answer for this! The relationship between the two clans isnât a joke. Sis, must you force my hand?â Jianshi said sternly.
She was dazed at this moment and didnât know what to do.
âInvite the miss home. Do not hurt her.â Jianshi ordered.
At this time, the ten experts behind him slowly stood up. The leader cupped his fists towards the woman: âMiss, please, forgive us for our action.â
In the blink of an eye, the ten experts surrounded the mother and daughter. There was no way for them to escape.
âDonât hurt my mother!â The daughter stepped in front and shouted.
âDonât worry, we wonât hurt your mother but the two of you need to come back with us.â Wenren Jianshi slowly told the girl.
âYouâre a bad person! Youâre all bad!â She shouted at Jianshi.
Jianshi was startled for a moment before smiling and didnât really mind her.
At this time, the experts slowly headed for the two of them. The woman pulled her daughter back behind her but she was stuck in a hard situation!
At this key moment, the little girl hiding behind looked around for a bit before her eyes flashed and shouted at Li Qiye: âPapa, quick, help mommy!â
âUgh-â Li Qiye froze a bit while sipping his wine and almost spat some out.
He turned around to look at the girl. The woman was also momentarily stunned.
At this time, gazes swept by. All the experts surrounding the two women turned towards Li Qiye with an unfriendly expression as if they were looking at a prey! Some were even in the motion of walking over to trap him.
âThis has nothing to do with him!â The woman was alarmed and quickly cried out. She wanted to absolve Li Qiye of any involvement but this only made it worse!
In a short time, the experts glaring at Li Qiye had an even more fierce gaze and were surrounding him.
âBrother, this is a misunderstanding. It has nothing to do with him.â The woman hurriedly told Jianshi.
Jianshi was surprised initially before smiling wryly and looking at Li Qiye: âI want to hear an explanation from the gentleman.â
âPapa!â The daughter came out of nowhere and latched onto Li Qiyeâs thigh while pointing at the experts: âBeat down these bad guys, all of them!â
The woman grimaced and shouted again: âHuaiyu, stop messing around, come backâ¦â
âNo, I wonât!â The naughty girl hollered back: âPapa is unstoppable and can take down these bad guys in just three or five moves!â
The woman was speechless after hearing this despite wanting to correct this weird situation.
âPapa, youâre the strongest in this world, take them down already.â The girl looked like a bully right now as if Li Qiye was really about to give the experts a beating.
Li Qiye couldnât help but smile while looking at the slyness evident in the girlâs eyes: âYou are wrong. Even if I was your father, I would be a defenseless scholar, not the strongest in the world.â
Having said that, he raised both hands and smiled amicably at the experts: âGentlemen, weâre all educated people here that use their words instead of fists. Letâs take our time talking, I rely on my handsome face to eat so please, donât hit the face or Iâll go hungry.â
The girl glared at Li Qiye after not getting her imagined result and scoffed: âCoward!â
Li Qiye didnât mind at all and smirked: âIâve never been courageous before because the bold always die relatively early. Iâm still so young and donât want to go down the grave so soon.â
âYou!â She stared at him for half a day but couldnât say anything.
The girl was a bit cunning but the disparity was too great compared to Li Qiye. Plus, he only wanted to tease her.
âIf you are my brother-in-law, then you should visit our clan. A groom should see your in-laws.â Wenren Jianshi said slowly.
âNo, Brother, heâs an outsider. This is all a misunderstanding, the child was only speaking nonsense.â The woman became anxious and spoke loudly.
Jianshiâs eyes remained fixated at Li Qiye: âI want to hear him say that this is a misunderstanding or not.â
The girl also looked up at Li Qiye. Despite her naughty nature, her bright eyes were calling for hope.
Li Qiye noticed this and chuckled: âThen Iâll visit the Wenren Clan for a bit. Being a guest isnât bad at all. Plus, everything can be solved with words. Iâm a scholar who isnât very good at other things but Iâm sure I can reason any problems just fine.â
The girl smiled after hearing this.
âYou⦠You donât know what youâre involving yourself in.â The woman urgently spoke.
Li Qiye cheerfully smiled: âI might not be sure but as the adage goes, as long as reason is on your side, you can travel all around the world. Iâm a reasonable person so thereâs no place I canât go. Iâm certain that the Wenren Clan is a place that adheres to reason as well. Of course, even if they donât, I am a very persuasive person!â
She was completely stunned and didnât know whether this man was really stupid or pretending. She couldnât see through him at all.
âReally? Then weâll go back to the Wenren Clan.â The girl excitedly jumped up and clapped.
âIn that case, please follow us then.â Wenren Jianshi said with a smile.
The woman had no other choice. She couldnât break away under these circumstances and now, a strange has become involved as well. Without any other ideas, she had to go with the flow.
Under the escort of the experts, the three of them left the inn. Of course, it was more apt to call it a forceful transport.
The woman whispered to him: âYou donât know what kind of trouble youâre getting yourself in. If you are actually capable, itâs not too late to run or youâll be courting death!â
