Chapter 93 Everyone was stunned
Dragon and Tiger Hall.
Zhang Long, with a look of concern on his face, said, "The Situ family seems to have set their hearts on targeting Mr. Yang, Master, shall we go pay a visit to Situ Xian first?"
Qi Tai pondered for a moment and then said, "All right, I'll give Old Li from the Martial Alliance a call. If he steps in to mediate, and with the current standing of you and me as teacher and student, the Situ family might give us that respect."
Zhang Long was overjoyed.
Qi Tai took out his phone and dialed a number.
"I have to make an urgent visit to the Situ family now, nothing urgent, I'll call you back." The phone was quickly answered, but after a single sentence, the call was disconnected.
Qi Tai was stunned.
Was Old Li going to the Situ family?
By the sound of it, it seemed quite urgent.
Could it be that something major had happened at the Situ family?
With this thought, Qi Tai stood up and said, "Let's go, drive to the Situ family."
He had called Old Li from the Martial Alliance with the intention of going to the Situ family to help Yang Fei resolve the grudge. Since Old Li was on his way there and something big might have happened at the Situ family, it was a good opportunity for him to see what was going on.
The night fell, and the city lights began to shine.
The Situ family's old residence was located in a rather secluded area, serene and quiet.
Outside the ancient mansion's gate, Qin Hu drove Tong Yunshu hurriedly to the scene, just in time to see several cars with special license plates arriving at the location.
She got out of the car, just about to speak, when she saw a tall, thin old man with a goatee from the crowd disembarking the vehicles, his eyes shining with sharpness, shouting loudly towards the Situ residence, "Who has the audacity to barge into the Situ family and cause trouble, thinking the Binhai Martial Alliance branch is just for show?"
Hearing this, Tong Yunshu's expression changed as she said, "This is bad, it looks like the people from the Martial Alliance got the news ahead of time, and it seems they have come to hold someone accountable."
Qin Hu, spotting Uncle Zhou among the crowd, hastily said, "Miss, don't panic just yet. Uncle Zhou is with Grandpa Li, and if the matter is not too serious, Grandpa Li will help smooth things over."
Tong Yunshu also saw Uncle Zhou and Grandpa Li, and immediately calmed down, nodding as she said, "Let's go and take a look together."
In her heart, she was silently hoping that Yang Fei hadn't caused too much trouble. Otherwise, given the attitude of these people from the Martial Alliance, it might be difficult to settle things nicely.
However, she had already made up her mind that no matter what, she had to ensure Yang Fei's safety this time. If it came to it, she would just have Third Grandpa step in. As long as he personally made a call, the people from the Binhai Martial Alliance couldn't fail to give him face.
With this thought, Tong Yunshu completely composed herself and walked over.
"Mr. Li, the young miss is here," said a middle-aged man beside Tong Yunshu to a chubby old man in a soft voice from within the group of people from the Martial Alliance.
The chubby old man had a broad, smiling face, appearing very amicable and approachable.
He followed Uncle Zhou's gaze and saw Tong Yunshu striding towards him, greeting her with a beaming smile, "Tong family girl, why did you come over in person?"
Tong Yunshu walked up to the old man and respectfully said, "Grandpa Li, a very good friend of mine seems to have had a misunderstanding with the Situ family, and I was worried."
The chubby old man, named Li Zhengyi, chuckled and jokingly asked, "How good a friend could he be to make you rush over here, even having Zhou Chun look for me? Don't tell me it's a boyfriend?"
Tong Yunshu blushed at these words and retorted, "Grandpa Li, don't talk nonsense, Yun Shu hasn't started dating anyone yet."
Your support at MV^LEMP^YR keeps the series going.
"It's about time you found a man," Li Zhengyi said with a chuckle.
His conversation with Tong Yunshu was very casual, like that of an elder to a younger relative, clearly showing a deep relationship with the Tong family.
Tong Yunshu said with coy annoyance, "I'm only in my twenties, still young."
Li Zhengyi chuckled and didn't continue the topic, instead turning to the elderly man with the goatee and saying, "This is the young lady from the Tong Family. Young lady, this is Mr. Hu Shilong, who is highly skilled in the Hu Family saber technique and currently serves as a Steward of the Binhai Martial Alliance."
Upon hearing this, Tong Yunshu hurriedly pressed her palms together and bowed deeply to Hu Shilong, "Tong Yunshu pays her respects to Senior Hu."
Hu Shilong glanced at Tong Yunshu, his attention perhaps due to her being a member of the Tong Family or the way Li Zhengyi introduced her; he actually showed quite a bit of courtesy and nodded his head.
Yet he still had a serious and indifferent appearance, saying to Li Zhengyi, "Brother Li, let's go in and take a look at the situation with the Situ family first."
The several other martial artists who had accompanied them, all members of the Binhai Martial Alliance, nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
"Let's go, we came here for this very matter, of course we need to go take a look," said Li Zhengyi.
He and Hu Shilong had overseen the Binhai Martial Alliance for over ten years, ensuring that the Chen Family, Dragon and Tiger Hall, and the Situ aristocratic family coexisted in harmony and stood as three equal forces.
However, recently, first the Chen Family had been crippled by the Dragon and Tiger Hall, and now something had happened to the Situ aristocratic family.
As administrators of the regional martial arts, they could not escape responsibility for such significant events occurring in their jurisdiction, which is why Hu Shilong was very angry today and took the attack on the Situ family very seriously.
If the Situ family were to be eliminated like the Chen Family, wouldn't the Dragon and Tiger Hall have uncontested control over Binhai?
This was not in line with the interests of the Martial Alliance's administration, and the Alliance would never allow such a situation to exist.
Upon stepping through the Situ family's gate, they were immediately approached by several younger members of the Situ Family clan. The person leading them fell to his knees before Hu Shilong and Li Zhengyi, weeping, "Mr. Hu, Mr. Li, you've finally arrived. You must stand up for the Situ family, grandpa… grandpa was beaten to death!"
"What?"
At these words, Hu Shilong, Li Zhengyi, Tong Yunshu, Qin Hu, Zhou Chun, and all the members of the Martial Alliance were shocked, and many exclaimed out loud.
Hu Shilong, his face incredulous, glared at the crying youth and sternly rebuked, "What nonsense are you spouting? With such cultivation, who could have killed your grandfather?"
Situ Xian was a high-level expert at the Inner Strength Late Stage Peak, and he had been at this realm for over a decade. Many believed that within his lifetime, he might cross that threshold and become an Energy Transformation Realm master.
How could such a man be easily killed?
"Whoo… it's… it's true," the youth sobbed.
"We saw it with our own eyes. The young man named Yang Fei, he shattered grandpa's skull with a palm, and killed him right in front of all of us."
"Not only did he kill grandpa, he also killed my second uncle Yunde."
"Yes, and several uncles were also injured, their fate unknown."
The young members of the Situ family spoke all at once in a clamorous buzz.
Hu Shilong, Li Zhengyi, and others like Tong Yunshu were completely stunned.
Situ Xian was dead?
Situ Yunde and several other high-level inner strength members of the family were dead too?
What… what exactly happened?
Tong Yunshu felt a storm of emotions inside and couldn't help but murmur to herself, "Did he… did he do all this? How… how is that possible?"
Thinking of that young man who was a year or two younger than her, Tong Yunshu truly couldn't believe that all of this was his doing.
Shock covered the faces of Hu Shilong and Li Zhengyi, as the two of them were late-stage internal strength experts themselves. Exchanging glances, they both saw disbelief in each other's eyes.
"Let's go, let's take a look," both said at the same time.
Following that, a group of over a dozen people, all with shock and solemnity on their faces, marched imposingly into the old residence of the Situ aristocratic family.
