"Why should we flee?"
Hearing Ye Fei’s words, Yang Dachuan couldn’t help but feel his heart sink.
If he had rely suspected that Ye Fei was just an ignorant hothead earlier, now it was certain!
With so many robbers in front of them, ard with guns no less, Yang Dachuan wouldn’t have dared to face them even in his pri. Let alone now, when he was heavily injured!
But even as he risked his life to try to hold these robbers off, Ye Fei’s response was simply, "Why should we flee?" This made Yang Dachuan curse Ye Fei to the heavens in his heart!
Yang Dachuan’s frustration was evident, but Yang Qingqing was even more forthright as she blurted angrily: "How... how can you be so ungrateful? My dad is taking the risk to hold them off, and you’re here pretending to be the big shot!"
"Dad! If he doesn’t want to leave, we’ll just go ourselves. Don’t bother with this idiot!"
Saying this, Yang Qingqing tried to pull Yang Dachuan away.
However, Yang Dachuan glanced at the lone-standing Ye Fei, then looked toward the bandits crowding the path ahead, their faces twisted in malevolence.
He sighed deeply and tried persuading Ye Fei one more ti: "Brother Ye, how about... coming with us and escaping?"
"I already said there’s no need to flee!" Ye Fei said with a smile.
"You..."
Hearing this, Yang Dachuan glared in anger and decided not to bother with Ye Fei anymore.
In his eyes, soone like Ye Fei—a reckless youth—might deserve a warning once, twice, but even after a third warning, the guy remained oblivious to the danger.
Why even care about him anymore?
But just as Yang Dachuan and Yang Qingqing took a few steps to leave, they suddenly saw another group of robbers coming from behind.
It turned out that the reason the gang of robbers had been holding back earlier was because part of their group had circled to the rear to block the Scorpion Tail Path entirely, trapping Ye Fei and the two Yangs with no way out.
Seeing this, Yang Qingqing couldn’t help but bla Ye Fei again: "This is all your fault! If you hadn’t pretended to be the big shot, my dad and I would’ve left already. We wouldn’t be stuck here like this!"
Ye Fei listened, shook his head slightly, and didn’t bother to explain. Instead, he gave a faint smile.
So what if they were trapped?
With his cultivation, why should he fear re robbers?
Seeing Ye Fei not only shake his head but also smile, Yang Qingqing was utterly furious.
"You... what are you smiling about?" Yang Qingqing asked angrily, almost burning with rage.
"Nothing much! Just laughing at sothing ridiculous!" Ye Fei replied calmly.
"Ridiculous? I think you should focus on figuring out how to survive this!" Yang Qingqing scoffed coldly.
"Survive? Haha, that’s sothing *they* need to worry about!" Ye Fei said lightly with indifference.
Upon hearing this, Yang Qingqing no longer even felt the will to argue with Ye Fei. To her, this arrogant fool might as well face the consequences himself!
And at this mont, seeing that Ye Fei and the others had no escape route left,
a towering, broad-chested man—nearly two ters tall—walked forward with a cruel smile.
"Heh, you’ve got guts, I’ll give you that. To injure my n. We ca here only for money, but now it looks like I’ll need to settle a score with you!"
"Big bro, we were forced to resist! Just tell us what you want—if it’s money, I can scrape together sothing!"
Yang Dachuan, looking at the group of robbers and the hulking man, could only swallow his pride and plead.
"Scrape together money? Heh, I don’t want your money!" The hulking man sneered coldly.
"Don’t want money? Then what do you want..."
"I want your lives!" The hulking man’s face twisted into a snarl.
Hearing this, Yang Dachuan’s face turned pale.
Still, he wanted to negotiate a bit more, if only to save himself and his daughter.
But before Yang Dachuan could speak, Ye Fei suddenly started laughing.
The hulking man saw Ye Fei laughing even after hearing that his life was at stake. With a sneer, he taunted, "Oh! So we’ve got a fool here, eh? Hey, fool! What’s so funny? Did you not understand what I said?"
"I was simply thinking about the ’settlent’ you ntioned," Ye Fei replied with a faint laugh.
"Thinking about the settlent?"
The hulking man burst into laughter and said, "Alright, tell then! Since you’ve got the guts to laugh like that, the settlent you’ve thought of must be better than losing your lives, right? Go ahead!"
"Naturally! I was just thinking..."
Ye Fei slowly lifted his gaze, focusing on the hulking man. "...how many kowtows it would take for to spare you all!"
Not good!
The mont Ye Fei opened his mouth, Yang Dachuan had already felt the situation turning bad. And now, hearing his words, his face completely changed.
What stood before them were ruthless, cold-blooded murderers!
And Ye Fei was demanding *them* to kneel and kowtow?
This wasn’t just reckless—it was downright brainless!
Yang Dachuan imdiately grabbed Yang Qingqing, already preparing for the hulking man’s inevitable fury and thinking of how best to flee.
And sure enough!
Upon hearing Ye Fei’s words, the hulking man’s veins bulged as he roared, "You think I should kneel to you, huh? Fine! After I twist your head off, maybe I’ll consider it! Everyone get him—ignore the man and the girl for now. I want that brat’s life!"
*Ka-cha! Ka-cha!*
Following the hulking man’s command, the robbers went into action—those with guns raised them, those with knives unsheathed them, all of them glaring viciously at Ye Fei.
Yang Dachuan quickly pulled Yang Qingqing back as they retreated. Yang Qingqing pointed at her own head while moving backward.
The aning couldn’t have been clearer.
She was signaling that Ye Fei hadn’t used his brain and deserved to end up in this ss—it was his fault entirely!
Just as the situation seed to reach the breaking point, a sudden burst of engine roars echoed.
A convoy of all-black sedans pulled up to block the path.
A group of n dressed in black stepped out of the cars, surrounding a middle-aged man as they entered Scorpion Tail Path.
Seeing this, the skinny man imdiately shouted, "Who the hell doesn’t know to back off? Didn’t you see our Boss Fei here on business..."
*Slap!*
Before finishing his words, the hulking man slapped the skinny man hard, sending him flying. Then he nervously jogged over to the middle-aged man, smiling obsequiously. "Mr. Chen? I’m not mistaken, right? You’re Chen Xing from Tiger Roar Hall?"
*Tiger Roar Hall?*
As soon as the robbers heard those three words, all of them froze in shock!
Among the gangs of Yungang, if these robbers were the petty bandits, then Tiger Roar Hall, dominating the entire Yungang region and controlling one-third of Su Province, was undoubtedly the king of outlaws!
It was no wonder the hulking man had slapped the skinny man.
As for the skinny man, he sat on the ground clutching his face, not daring to move a muscle. He feared the Tiger Roar Hall group might eliminate him for his earlier remarks.
And then, sothing completely unexpected happened!
The middle-aged man didn’t even glance at the hulking robber. Instead, he led his group directly toward Ye Fei and, bowing respectfully, said, "Mr. Ye, apologies for arriving late and frightening you!"
"Mr. Ye, our apologies for frightening you!"
The Tiger Roar Hall n behind him echoed in unison, their voices reverberating throughout Scorpion Tail Path.
