Chapter 570: By Young Master’s Order
"Escape!" the Long Family Head whispered. "We’ll flee to the Wanjin Mountains of Nanjing tonight and hide. When the Mist Chant Martial Meeting begins, we’ll come out and tell the three Judicator Families that Ye Xiu killed the Envoy. By then, Ye Xiu will surely be dead."
Wang Yue’s and Ye Tianming’s eyes lit up. Grasping at his last straw, Wang Yue said, "Let’s hurry, before Ye Xiu notices us."
"Right!"
They were right beside the podium. The three of them crouched low and dashed backstage. The Long Family Head carried Wang Yue, and together with Ye Tianming, they sprinted toward the back door.
"Big Brother Ye, Wang Yue and the others are running away," Zuo You reminded him.
Ye Xiu turned his head to look, a smirk of disdain touching his lips.
Escape? If I let you get away, I, Huang Quan, will change my name to Mineral Water!
At that moment, Ye Xiu’s phone rang. It was An Dongye. "Little bro, Dong Fangbai got swept up again."
Ye Xiu’s face instantly darkened. What kind of luck does Dong Fangbai have? He always gets caught in these sweeps. And wasn’t he supposed to have gone home? When did he come to Yunluo City?
"I’ll go bail him out!"
Ye Xiu hung up, just about to put the phone back in his pocket when a text message alert chimed.
It was from Qing Luan: "Tang Bo has been arrested, along with Dong Fangbai."
Ye Xiu was speechless.
"Divine Doctor Ye, what happened?" Bao Longtu asked.
"Something’s come up and I have to leave. You guys go on and eat," Ye Xiu said with a smile. Without waiting for a response, he gave a quick farewell to the others and sprinted out.
Tang Bo alone is enough to give me a headache. If he and Dong Fangbai actually meet, it’ll be a real disaster!
「On the way to the Patrol Bureau Office!」
Ye Xiu received a call from Gong Jin. "Two minutes ago, Wang Yue used his status as the chief sponsor of the Mist Chant Martial Meeting to order Yunluo City’s airport to prepare five passenger jets for him, for unknown reasons."
"The Wang, Ye, and Long Families are trying to escape, eh?" Ye Xiu snorted coldly. "Arrange for them to take a little joyride in the sky, and then bring them right back."
"Understood!" Gong Jin replied.
After hanging up, Ye Xiu floored the accelerator and sped to the Patrol Bureau Office.
When he arrived at the detention room, his heart sank. Only Tang Bo and Dong Fangbai were inside, both bruised and swollen as if they had just been in a fight.
He glanced at Tang Bo, and a brilliant idea on how to handle these two suddenly struck him. He said, "Tang Bo, starting tomorrow, I’ll teach you the method to remove the Blood Poison. Once you’ve learned it, you’ll go with Dong Fangbai to the Dongfang Family."
"I’ll go wherever Big Brother tells me to go," Tang Bo replied, on his best behavior in front of Ye Xiu.
Ye Xiu grunted in acknowledgment. "You two, come with me."
The three of them left the detention room. As they walked out, whenever they passed someone, Dong Fangbai would turn the back of his head toward them and shout, "Where the sea ends, the sky is the shore; where the Martial Arts end, I am the peak."
Ye Xiu suddenly felt like messing with Dong Fangbai. "That opening line isn’t imposing enough. I’ll give you a new one."
Dong Fangbai’s eyes lit up, the back of his head facing Ye Xiu. "Quick, tell me!"
"The sun rises in the east; only I remain undefeated!" Ye Xiu declared.
Dong Fangbai savored the phrase, then exclaimed with delight, "This opening line is practically tailor-made for me!"
Tang Bo shot Dong Fangbai a look one might give an idiot and said, "From now on, you should just call yourself Dongfang Invincible."
"What a great name!" Dong Fangbai’s face flushed with excitement. "Dongfang Invincible! Haha, from now on, I’ll be Dongfang Invincible! That name is even more domineering than the opening line itself!"
After receiving calls from Wang Yue, Ye Tianming, and the Long Family Head, every member of the Wang, Ye, and Long Families rushed to the Yunluo City Airport as fast as they could.
The moment the five planes took off into the sky, Wang Yue, Ye Tianming, and the Long Family Head finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"By now, Ye Xiu is probably drunk with the people from the Global Chamber of Commerce. By the time he wakes up tomorrow morning, we’ll already be deep in the Wanjin Mountains of Nanjing," Wang Yue said with a relaxed smile.
"Even Ye Xiu can slip up. He never would have thought we’d flee overnight, let alone escape to the Wanjin Mountains," the Long Family Head chuckled.
"The terrain of the Wanjin Mountains is complex. If we split up and hide, even if the Ministry of Military Affairs deploys a hundred thousand soldiers, they’d never find us within three months," Ye Tianming added with a laugh.
The three of them burst into laughter, unrestrained and utterly triumphant. In their minds, this escape meant Ye Xiu only had three months left to live.
Just then, they suddenly felt a sensation of weightlessness.
"What’s happening?" Wang Yue nearly threw up and yelled, "Flight attendant! Flight attendant, what’s going on?"
A beautiful flight attendant walked over and smiled. "The plane is landing."
Landing?
Wang Yue, Ye Tianming, the Long Family Head, and the other members of the Wang, Ye, and Long families in first class were all stunned.
"The plane just took off. Are we already in Nanjing?" Wang Yue asked.
"You’re overthinking things. The plane has returned to Yunluo City Airport," the flight attendant said with the same smile.
What?
The faces of Wang Yue, Ye Tianming, and the Long Family Head changed dramatically.
"Why have we come back?" Wang Yue demanded.
The flight attendant shrugged. "The Young Master said to take you all for a spin in the sky and then bring you back."
The hearts of Wang Yue, Ye Tianming, and the Long Family Head instantly turned to ice.
It turned out that Ye Xiu had known about their escape plan all along and had quickly made his arrangements. He deliberately let them see a glimmer of hope, let them feel ecstatic, only to send them right back to Yunluo City Airport.
"Elder Ye, Elder Long, hijack the plane," Wang Yue said grimly.
"My thoughts exactly!" the Long Family Head snarled, lunging to attack the flight attendant.
Ye Tianming didn’t move. He knew Ye Xiu was Huang Quan. In a scheme laid out by him, there must be someone on this plane stronger than me and the Long Family Head.
Sure enough...
SLAP!
The flight attendant sent the Long Family Head flying back into his seat with a single strike.
The Long Family Head was horrified. This... One of Ye Xiu’s subordinates has the power to instantly defeat someone above the rank of War God?
"Elder Wang," the flight attendant said, turning her smile to Wang Yue now that the Long Family Head was subdued.
"Is... is there something you need?" Wang Yue was trembling so violently he could barely speak.
"By the Young Master’s command, I am here to grant you death!"
The flight attendant’s sweet smile vanished. She grabbed Wang Yue by the neck and said coldly, "Take one last breath of the mortal world’s air."
With a SNAP, she twisted Wang Yue’s neck.
Ye Tianming and the Long Family Head turned deathly pale. Ye Xiu had said Wang Yue wouldn’t live to see the dawn, and he really hadn’t.
