Xue An would, of course, not forget the Ming Family.
At that time, Ming Yuan, a junior of the Ming family, oversaw the construction of the Island Resort and, for his own selfish interests, sealed the Sea Eye and imprisoned the sea demon. How sinister his intentions were.
If it hadn’t been for Xue An exposing him and killing him, it’s estimated even more people would have suffered.
Now that An Qing has gone missing at the harbor Xiangjiang, if anyone were to say it has nothing to do with the Ming Family, no one would believe it.
Xue An said in a deep voice to Xu Mu, “How are the wounds on your body now?”
Xu Mu got out of the car and walked a couple of laps, his face full of disbelief.
“Mr. Xue, the wounds on my body have actually all healed, and even my spirit has improved a lot!”
At this moment, Du Fan said enviously, “How could it not be better? Mr. Xue just personally fed you an Immortal Pill!”
Xu Mu was stunned and quickly said with great respect, “Thank you, Mr. Xue!”
Xue An waved his hand, “You traveled thousands of miles to find me, just to rescue An Qing. You can be considered a loyal person. This is just a small reward for you!”
Xue An turned his head and nodded at Du Fan, “You’ve also done well.”
Du Fan was so happy that he was beaming, bowing repeatedly and saying, “Mr. Xue, you’re too kind. It’s all part of my duty!”
And at this time, An Yan also came downstairs, somewhat worried.
“Husband, what’s happened?”
Xue An didn’t hide anything but simply replied with a faint smile, “Nothing serious, just a little trouble on An Qing’s side.”
Upon hearing that her sister had encountered trouble, An Yan’s face turned pale.
“Qing’er… What happened to Qing’er?” An Yan was utterly panicked.
Xue An took a step forward and said with a gentle smile, “Yan’er, don’t worry, it’s just a small situation with Qing’er. Since you just got back and haven’t gone out to relax, I’ll take you and our daughter to harbor Xiangjiang for a few days.”
An Yan nodded obediently.
She had an almost blind trust in Xue An.
In her eyes, as long as her husband took action, there was nothing in the world that couldn’t be solved.
Of course, in fact, that was exactly the case.
At this moment, dawn was breaking in the east, and daylight was about to come.
A cold smile appeared on the corners of Xue An’s mouth.
It seems… some people don’t know fear until they are made to feel pain.
In the Yuan Family of Jibei.
Inside a secret chamber.
Yuan Chengyu sat in the chief seat, while a chief steward stood by with his hands down.
“Family Head, the young mistress just sent news that the Ming Family had already discovered the approximate location two days ago, only to find that military personnel appeared, leading to a fierce conflict between the two sides!”
“Oh? The military? Could it be General Lin’s men?” Yuan Chengyu’s expression became solemn.
“That’s still unclear, but after a battle, this squad has been completely captured.”
Yuan Chengyu nodded, “Tell Yun Xin to be cautious above all else. Although the Ming Family has invited us to cooperate, Ming Canghai is a cunning man; we must remain on guard.”
“Yes!”
“Also, any news about the bounty?”
“Reporting to the Family Head, the second-ranked assassination organization, The Finger Killers, has just responded, but they’re inquiring about how much you intend to pay for Xue An’s life!”
“How much…,” a look of hatred crossed Yuan Chengyu’s face, “Xue An is indeed formidable, but I don’t believe he’s invincible. Put a bounty of one hundred million on him—I want to see his corpse within a month!”
“Understood!” The chief steward bowed and retreated.
Yuan Chengyu stood up and began to pace back and forth in the room.
“Immortal’s legacy, haha, such a big piece of cake. How could your Ming Family be so kind as to invite us to partake? And with the military stepping in, it seems this cake isn’t so easy to digest!”
“And Xue An, I admit you’re formidable, but even lions nap, and Finger-slay is an organization of assassins that specializes in dealing with top experts. Now that they have accepted the contract, your days are numbered!”
At this thought, Yuan Chengyu couldn’t help but coldly chuckle.
The port of Xiangjiang.
The Ming Family’s estate is located in the most expensive district of Xiangjiang, consisting of a vast expanse of ancient buildings.
Not to mention the value of the land itself, just the antique charm of these ancient buildings is worth a fortune.
At this moment, within the Ming Family’s inner house.
Ming Ruifeng frowned, “No confession yet?”
“No, young master!”
“Forget it, if they won’t confess, they won’t confess. It’s easy to guess they’re General Lin’s people. Lock them up for now, we’ll deal with them after the formation is broken!” Ming Ruifeng said indifferently.
“Yes!”
“Right, put them in the number one cell of the Heavenly Dungeon, so no one can probe with their divine sense!”
“Understood!” the servant left after responding.
Ming Ruifeng then turned his head to look at the woman sitting beside him.
This woman had an unremarkable appearance and wore very ordinary clothes. In a century-old noble family like the Ming Family, her attire was even inferior to that of a junior maid.
Yet, admiration shone in Ming Ruifeng’s eyes.
“Sister Yunxin, how goes it?”
Yuan Yunxin let out a soft sigh, “Indeed, it’s a formation left by an Immortal. I’ve been looking at it for two days and have only grasped some clues so far, still early days from breaking it!”
The two were conversing when Ming Canghai walked in.
Ming Canghai seemed to be only in his forties or fifties, but his hair was already completely white.
Ming Ruifeng and Yuan Yunxin both stood up.
Ming Canghai smiled at Yuan Yunxin, “Niece, have you figured anything out?”
“I’ve only grasped a few clues,” Yuan Yunxin spoke softly.
“Truly worthy of being the once-in-a-century genius girl of the Yuan Family, to discern the key points in such a short time. It’s a pity that our Ming Family has studied Feng Shui Numerology for a thousand years, yet we are helpless before this major formation!” Ming Canghai lamented half seriously and half mockingly, then said with a smile, “But there’s no need to rush. I’ve already announced that in the next few days we will hold a Feng Shui convention, gathering all the Feng Shui numerology experts around the world. Surely we’ll be able to break this formation!”
Yuan Yunxin remained calm and nodded, “If that’s the case, I should return to my room.”
After saying so, Yuan Yunxin took her leave.
Then, Ming Ruifeng stepped forward, “Father, why do you invite all the Feng Shui experts in the world to observe this formation? If the news leaks out…”
Ming Canghai waved his hand, his expression indifferent, “The news of the Immortal’s legacy cannot be concealed, as proven by that military squad. So it’s better to crack this formation quickly, to avoid prolonged issues!”
“Yes!”
“Moreover…” Ming Canghai raised his head to look in the direction Yuan Yunxin had left, “This girl may not talk much usually, but it’s clear she’s full of ideas, far stronger than that blockhead Yuan Chengyu. I’m afraid if we delay too long, she might have other intentions!”
“So, Father means to say…”
“After breaking the formation, all those in the know…” Ming Canghai gestured a throat-slitting motion.
“Understood!” Ming Ruifeng bowed his head and responded, a cold gleam flashing in his eyes.
Meanwhile, An Qing, who was locked in the dungeon, was staring blankly at the light coming through the small window.
Brother-in-law, have you received the message yet?
