Young Master Cheng the Second immediately rushed towards the private room, but was stopped by another person. "Wait..."
"I'm going to find my elder brother," Young Master Cheng the Second said.
The other person glanced at Feng Yuqin and said to Young Master Cheng the Second, "Feng Yuqin would never hand over the people to us so easily. There must be a trick."
As soon as these words were spoken, not only Young Master Cheng the Second but also the others who were about to go in all stopped in their tracks. They looked at the entrance of the private room warily, then turned their gazes to Feng Yuqin.
"What did you do to them?" Young Master Cheng the Second asked.
Feng Yuqin said indifferently, "They came to assassinate me. Even if I killed them, it would be justifiable self - defense."
"That's your own problem," Young Master Cheng the Second said coldly. "If you hadn't let people know you had a spiritual pet and exposed your alchemy skills, how could anyone have come to assassinate you?"
Smack!
Xiaoying swiped at Young Master Cheng the Second with one paw. After sending him flying, she angrily said, "I'm hitting you now because I can't stand your jumping around here. If you weren't here getting on my nerves, how could I have hit you?"
These people had come to settle accounts with Feng Yuqin. But seeing that Feng Yuqin had no one else around her except her and her spiritual pet, yet she dared to strike without mercy, made the leaders of various forces hesitate.
Young Master Cheng the Second's subordinate immediately went to help him up. Young Master Cheng the Second opened his mouth to say something, but a mouthful of blood spurted out, and then he fainted.
This simple and brutal action scared some people.
However, some still thought Feng Yuqin's actions were too arrogant. A man stepped forward and said, "Feng Yuqin, aren't you afraid of revenge for offending so many forces in Tiancheng like this?"
Feng Yuqin gave them a cold look and said, "I've always been on the defensive, not the aggressor..."
This was quite clear.
She had never provoked these people; it was they who had come after her. She was just acting in self - defense.
And her current attitude was also clear. Since they had provoked her, it was impossible for them to just let it go.
Otherwise, why would she have gone to the trouble of bringing all these people to this teahouse?
After some smart people figured this out, they asked Feng Yuqin, "Miss Feng, how do you plan to resolve this matter?"
"Since these people have fallen into my hands, they are my captives. If you want to take away the captives from me, you have to pay a price," Feng Yuqin said indifferently.
Everyone had thought Feng Yuqin was really something, but it turned out she just wanted money.
This made everyone look down on Feng Yuqin a bit. After all her fuss, a little money could appease her. So they all thought that no matter what, they should get their people back first.
As for dealing with Feng Yuqin, they could do that after rescuing their people.
A man decisively took out a spatial ring and said, "I want to take my nephew back."
Xiaoying scanned the contents with her spiritual sense and looked at the man mockingly. "Do you think your nephew is worthless, or are you just trying to shoo away a beggar?"
The man trembled and looked at Xiaoying in disbelief. "There are five hundred low - grade spirit stones and three hundred demon cores in here. You're still not satisfied?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked.
Originally, they had intended to redeem their people with money, but now they glared angrily at Feng Yuqin and said, "Feng Yuqin, don't go too far. Offending so many of us won't do you any good."
Feng Yuqin gave that person a cold look and said, "Your people came after me with ill intentions, almost aiming for my life. For those who want my life, it's already a miracle that I haven't killed them.
Or do you mean that if someone wants your life, you won't fight back and will just let them kill you?"
Xiaoying added, "You people should stop putting on such high - sounding pretexts. If it weren't for my master's strength this time, she might have been killed by the people you sent.
So if you want the people inside to return to their families unscathed, just show your sincerity."
After Xiaoying said this, she reached out and suddenly grabbed a person in front of her.
"Elder brother," Young Master Cheng the Second had just woken up and saw Young Master Cheng the First being grabbed by the neck by Xiaoying. His eyes instantly turned red.
Neither Xiaoying nor Feng Yuqin had expected that they would grab Young Master Cheng the First.
He was the first one who had tried to recruit Feng Yuqin but then insulted her when he failed.
The second time Young Master Cheng the First appeared, he was completely different. He clearly wanted Feng Yuqin's life.
"Let go of my elder brother, or my Cheng family won't let you off," Young Master Cheng the Second roared.
Xiaoying was not intimidated. She tightened her grip slightly on Young Master Cheng the First's neck, and the unconscious Young Master Cheng the First actually woke up.
When Young Master Cheng the First woke up, there was a flash of confusion in his eyes. When he saw Young Master Cheng the Second opposite him, he subconsciously asked, "What happened to me?"
Xiaoying's voice rang in his ear. "It's nothing much. You've just become my master's captive. If you want to live, you have to spend some money."
Young Master Cheng the Second had heard Xiaoying's voice before. So as soon as he heard it and turned his head to see Xiaoying, he subconsciously began to struggle.
As a result, his struggling almost made him pass out. His whole face was pinched red.
Xiaoying's cold voice rang out again. "If you want to die, struggle a bit more. Even if you die, it's your own fault."
These words made Young Master Cheng the Second immediately stop moving.
Just then, someone in the crowd said, "She's just scaring us. With so many forces here, she wouldn't dare to kill anyone."
After these words were spoken, the air was silent for a few moments. Then a second person said, "That's right. If she dared to kill someone, she wouldn't have gone through all this trouble. She would have just killed them directly."
"Exactly. She has no background. Even if she has the Dark Night Pavilion, it's just newly established and won't amount to anything. She's just a paper tiger."
"If she dares to kill someone, we'll gather the strength of our families to hunt her down."
Thinking like this, some people were eager to go into the private room and pull out their family members.
At this time, Young Master Cheng the First also reacted and said to Young Master Cheng the Second, "Second brother, she wouldn't dare to kill me. Help me capture this woman. I'll throw her into a brothel to be ridden by thousands of men, and then tear her limb from limb..."
Crack!
The sound of a bone breaking stopped the footsteps of those who were walking in and made everyone's eyes turn to Young Master Cheng the First with a broken neck in Xiaoying's hand.
"Elder brother..." A flash of fear crossed Young Master Cheng the Second's eyes.
