Chapter 426 Shock
Chapter 426 Deterrence
"What did you say! I'll tear your mouth off!"
One of the Sima family members below spoke coldly, while the remaining Sima family members also looked rather ugly, their gazes towards Ye Ru filled with murderous intent.
The Shi family members also frowned slightly. Although the Sima family's actions were somewhat inappropriate, they were still a collateral branch of the Shi family. If the Sima family lost, the Shi family would also lose face.
"My friend, judging from your attire, you're probably not from Jin. I advise you to mind your own business. If you leave now, our family of historians will consider you a friend. But if you insist on going your own way and get yourself into trouble, then you can't blame anyone else."
Shi Liu looked somewhat impatient, then slowly spoke to Ye Ru.
If Shi Liu had spoken to anyone else, they would probably have left instantly. After all, the Shi family is a prominent family, and it is something that many scholars dream of to have the Shi family owe them a favor. However, they encountered Ye Ru.
"My friend, if you don't interfere in the affairs of these two families, I can leave now. What do you say?"
Seeing Shi Liu's somewhat arrogant face, Ye Ru smiled faintly and then said.
"You mean you don't accept my conditions?"
Shi Liu smiled slightly and said.
However, there was a chilling undercurrent behind that smile.
"It's not that we don't accept it, it's just a matter of changing the conditions."
Ye Ru narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of ill intent in them.
"I don't care who you are, but here, the Shi family is in charge. If you know what's good for you, get out of here!"
Finally, the members of the Shi family lost their patience. One of the older members of the Shi family, with a cold expression, said in a deep voice.
"You have three breaths to leave, or don't blame us for being ruthless!"
Seeing that the former had lost patience, the other young man's face gradually darkened. As the two spoke, their scholarly talents, like those of scholars who had passed the imperial examinations, surged and clashed instantly, finally enveloping Ye Ru without mercy.
This powerful scene caused many members of the Sima family to take two steps back, their expressions becoming somewhat relaxed.
They hadn't expected the Shi family to provide such significant assistance, which signaled that the Shi family also had their own ideas about the document ink spring.
Enveloped by this extremely powerful aura of talent, Ye Ru's expression remained unchanged. He glanced at the Shi family and the arrogant Sima family, sighed, and said, "I thought the various noble families of Jin would all be reasonable people, but now I'm disappointed. Out of respect for your status as noble families, I'll give you a chance. Leave in three breaths, and I won't harm you. But after three breaths, whether you live or die is not my fault!"
"How dare you speak to our holy families like that!"
As soon as he finished speaking, one of the scholars from the Shi family, a family of scholars, suddenly hurled a punch at Ye Ru.
"Hmph, this is none of your business, you juniors!"
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the two scholars behind Ye Ru suddenly stepped forward, their scholarly aura surging forth. In an instant, they repelled the aura, and Zhang Dong directly clashed palms with the scholar.
boom!
The powerful aura of talent spread outwards, causing the scholar to take two steps back.
This burst of talent, at the level of a Hanlin scholar, simultaneously shattered the suppressing talent, and then, like a giant dragon, directly blasted the people from the Shi Sheng family and the Sima family back two steps.
An even more powerful aura of talent permeated the air, causing the faces of many members of the Shi Sheng family and the Sima family to turn pale, their expressions filled with solemnity and fear, and in their eyes, there was a look of terror.
Shi Liu swallowed hard, dumbfounded. After a moment, he realized that there were actually two Hanlin scholars standing behind the young man. These two Hanlin scholars alone were enough to hold off his side.
Moreover, what the young man just said was not a false statement. If he wanted to, he could probably take our lives in the blink of an eye.
After taking two steps back, Shi Liu took a deep breath to suppress the shock surging through his body. The scholars behind him also looked at Ye Ru with horror, probably because even if all of them went up against him, they wouldn't be able to withstand a single finger from him.
The Sima family members were also difficult to talk to. Two Hanlin scholars—the Sima family only had five Hanlin scholars in total, and the other party was able to produce two at once. This kind of generosity made them suspect that the other party was also from a prominent family, and a very important one at that!
"Who exactly are you?"
Shi Liu had naturally thought of this as well. After calming himself down, he asked the question.
"You don't need to know who we are. As long as you leave, I can pretend nothing happened."
Ye Ru shook his head and said that he was now known to everyone, and the other party would probably find out his identity as soon as they returned. Rather than that, it was better to keep him a little mysterious, because it would be too late by the time they found out.
Seeing the other party's attitude, Shi Liu's expression also turned somewhat ugly. After a moment, he seemed to realize that he was no match for the other party, and he nodded fiercely and said: "Since you are not afraid of offending our Shi Sheng family, then we will leave now. However, you should also think carefully about the price of helping the Qian family!"
Ye Ru smiled slightly, made no comment, and then gestured with his hand, saying:
"In that case, please proceed."
"snort!"
Suppressing his anger, Shi Liu suddenly flung his sleeves. He hadn't expected to suffer such a loss today. The next moment, he walked towards the exit of Wanmu Mountain with a gloomy expression.
As the Shi family members left, the Sima family members glared at the Qian family and Ye Ru, then left like stray dogs.
As Sima Tan passed by Qian Wensong, he turned around, smiled at Qian Wensong, and said coldly:
"Don't be too happy yet. Don't forget the essay competition in two days. Even if you lose, you'll still have to hand over this essay inkstone. Humph!"
"Don't worry, how could we possibly lose? But after today, you'd better watch out."
Qian Wensong smiled and mocked, while Sima Tan, seeing this, flicked his sleeves and left.
As everyone left, Qian Wensong looked at Ye Ru with gratitude and said:
"Thank you so much, Brother Ye. I really don't know what I would have done without you."
