Old Master Zhao left the Azure Dragon Sect, his face ashen. He had never encountered such a situation. His purpose in coming to Qingzhou was to curry favor with Lu Fan, only to realize that he was already an eyesore in Lu Fan's eyes.
"Master, where shall we go now?" Hei Luosha asked. "Shall we go to our lodging?"
"To the Yang family!"
Old Master Zhao said coldly, "That old rascal Yang Ding Tian, I owe him a favor, yet he wants to destroy the entire Zhao family!"
Hei Luosha nodded, not daring to hesitate, and took Old Master Zhao to the outside of the Yang family's courtyard.
"Who are you people?" two men looked at Old Master Zhao. "What business do you have coming here in the middle of the night?"
"I want to see Yang Ding Tian!" Old Master Zhao said coldly. "Have him come out to greet me personally!"
"Our master is already asleep. If you have any business, come back tomorrow!"
The man said with displeasure, "Besides, judging by your appearances, you don't look like wealthy people. Disturbing the master in the middle of the night, are you tired of living?"
"Even if Yang Ding Tian were here, he wouldn't dare speak to me like that!"
With displeasure in his expression, Old Master Zhao said coldly, "He still has the leisure to sleep!"
"Stop talking nonsense and get out of here quickly."
The man said unpleasantly, "Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite!"
"Is it that difficult to send a message?"
Hei Luosha said coldly, "Do you need us to loosen your muscles and bones!"
"I've truly never seen anyone so arrogant, daring to be so presumptuous at someone else's doorstep!" The two men were not polite. They grabbed their weapons and walked towards Hei Luosha.
Unfortunately, after only a few steps, Hei Luosha's figure became like a phantom. He appeared beside them and sent them flying with a powerful shove.
Sensing Hei Luosha's formidable power, the two men's expressions changed. Old Master Zhao, however, directly barged in, his expression growing even colder.
Yang Jiaqi was drinking tea in the courtyard, looking leisurely, with exquisite pastries prepared beside her. When she saw Old Master Zhao, she was slightly surprised and quickly stood up. "Old Master Zhao!"
Just then, the two men chased in, holding their weapons. "Miss, these two forced their way in. Drive them out immediately!"
"You scoundrels, this is Grandpa's friend. Why aren't you retreating!" Yang Jiaqi said repeatedly. Dressed in a qipao, her figure appeared even more graceful.
"Are you Yang Ding Tian's granddaughter?" Old Master Zhao said with displeasure. "Where is he now?"
"Grandpa has a habit of sleeping early and is already asleep," Yang Jiaqi said quickly. "I'll go invite him now."
With coldness in his eyes, Old Master Zhao sat aside, seemingly sulking in silence. Sudan Novel Network.
Yang Jiaqi was quite frightened. Such a colossal existence, his aura alone was unbearable. She didn't know what had happened to make him visit the Yang family so late at night.
Yang Ding Tian was fast asleep. After being woken up, he quickly put on his clothes, looking somewhat groggy. Upon hearing that Old Master Zhao had arrived, he immediately became alert.
Not long after, Yang Ding Tian arrived at the courtyard garden. "My apologies, my apologies, for making Brother Zhao wait for so long!"
Old Master Zhao suddenly stood up. "Yang Ding Tian, you have quite the nerve to have used me!"
"Heaven and earth as my witness, Brother Zhao has shown me great kindness. How could I dare to use Brother Zhao!" Yang Ding Tian quickly shook his head. "Is there some misunderstanding?"
"There can be no misunderstanding. From now on, do not expect my Zhao family to help you in the slightest!" Old Master Zhao said coldly. "You have offended someone you shouldn't have, and even I cannot help you. Do not try to associate with me in the future!"
"This..."
Yang Ding Tian was shocked. "Brother Zhao, what are you saying? I don't quite understand."
"Are the Old Master's words not clear enough?" Hei Luosha said directly. "From now on, the Yang family and the Zhao family will have no dealings with each other, and the Zhao family will not become the Yang family's backing."
"Did I do something wrong to displease Brother Zhao!" Yang Ding Tian said quickly. "I can apologize to Brother Zhao right now!"
"If the person you offended were me, it would be nothing. But you have offended someone who is not to be trifled with, someone even I dare not offend lightly. You should fend for yourself."
Old Master Zhao waved his hand. "Do not contact me anymore in the future. The Zhao family will absolutely not be your support."
"This..." Yang Ding Tian was bewildered and even more anxious. "Brother Zhao, please tell me!"
"All I can tell you is that you have offended a paramount figure, and even I dare not have any connection with you."
After Old Master Zhao finished speaking, he got up and left. At this point, he dared not have any connection with the Yang family.
Seeing this, Hei Luosha quickly went forward to support him and led Old Master Zhao away from the Yang family. Their late-night visit was naturally for this very reason.
After they left, Yang Ding Tian sat on the chair, his expression somewhat dazed, as if deep in thought.
"Grandpa, what exactly is going on!" Yang Jiaqi said repeatedly. "With the Zhao family's support, the Yang family could flourish. If the Zhao family announces severance of ties with the Yang family, it will be a significant blow to us."
"Didn't you just hear? The Yang family has offended an unparalleled figure, someone even the Zhao family cannot afford to offend." Yang Ding Tian's expression was solemn. "In all of Qingzhou, the only one who could be treated with such deference by Old Master Zhao is likely that Lord Lu."
"Is it that Lord Lu who killed the martial arts expert in Bailong Town?" Yang Jiaqi asked in surprise. "He seems to have no grievances with the Yang family."
"Lu Fan of Taikang Pharmaceuticals, also surnamed Lu. Is this a coincidence?" Yang Ding Tian frowned. "Or perhaps that Lord Lu is a relative of Lu Fan, which is why he can support him!"
Thinking of this, Yang Jiaqi felt a chill down her spine. If this were true, their Yang family would likely be in grave danger.
"If that brat truly has connections with that Lord Lu, he would have already annihilated the Yang family. It seems his relationship with that Lord is not close, but there must be some connection. Old Master Zhao is like a startled bird, hence his extreme fear!" Yang Ding Tian said directly. "This way, it might make sense!"
