Chapter 138 Confrontation
"Sir, we are the guards of the Lin family. What are you doing..." the leading burly man said cautiously.
"Lin family? South City Lin family?" Xu Feng frowned slightly. The Lin family was stronger than the Wan family.
"That's right!" Upon hearing that the other party knew the Lin family, the sturdy man in the lead breathed a sigh of relief.
"What are you doing?" Xu Feng asked.
"My lord, this woman is the concubine of my third young master. She said she missed home a few days ago, so the third young master let her go back to her parents' home out of pity. However, she never came back and has been hiding for more than a month. We happened to catch her today, so let's teach her a lesson on behalf of my young master." The leading sturdy man said bravely.
The aura of a strong man of the third rank made him, a warrior who barely reached the early ninth rank with the help of drugs, tremble from the bottom of his heart.
"Is that so?" Xu Feng asked the woman.
"Sir, the third young master of the Lin family is not a human being at all, you see." Upon seeing this, the woman immediately lifted up her sister's sleeve, revealing bruises. She then lifted up the other sleeve, which was also covered with scars, without a single piece of good skin.
"My sister was forcibly bought by the Lin family to be a concubine. As an ordinary person, she had no choice. But the third son of the Lin family had a twisted and cruel personality. He secretly studied various torture methods and used them on the concubine he bought. And he became more and more crazy and cruel. My sister couldn't stand it anymore, so she took the opportunity to escape when he was happy.
She couldn't be caught by the Lin family again. The third son of the Lin family had tortured three concubines to death, and two of them were tortured to insanity. If she was caught again this time, she would be tortured to death. Could it be that the lives of ordinary people like us are not lives?" The woman said sadly.
"Huh? Is there such a thing?"
"I have seen the third son of the Lin family. He looks very handsome, but I didn't expect him to be so cruel in private."
"This girl is covered in wounds. It hurts just to look at her. I don't know how she managed to survive."
"He has a beastly heart in human form. He really has a beastly heart in human form!"
"They are inhumane. Some young masters from aristocratic families have the heart of wolves. They really don't regard ordinary people like us as human beings."
……
The onlookers were talking about the matter and had great sympathy for the sisters. Many of them felt that they were in the same boat and had suffered similar unfair treatment before. They looked at the four men with increasingly unfriendly and angry eyes.
"Bitch, you are so bold to slander my young master?" The leading strong man was so angry that his blood rushed to his head, and he trembled all over. He wanted to tear the woman's mouth immediately. He couldn't imagine what kind of punishment they would receive if the third young master knew what happened at this moment.
"My sister told me everything. Do you want me to tell you the names and family backgrounds of those concubines who died and went crazy?" The woman was not afraid of the four men at all.
"You..." The leading sturdy man was speechless for a moment. It was impossible for him to be completely unaware of some of the habits of his third young master.
"No matter what, the Lin family has already paid the money to take your sister as a concubine. Her life now belongs to the Lin family. Now, I want to take her back." said the leading burly man.
"No, no, I won't go back. I will never go back!" The girl, who had just recovered her breath, was terrified when she heard the words. She shrank into her sister's arms, her delicate body shaking constantly.
"How much did they give you to buy your body?" Xu Feng asked the woman.
"Two, two hundred gold. I have never used it. It is still at home."
"Here is five hundred gold as redemption money. Give it to your young master. From now on, she will have nothing to do with the Lin family." Xu Feng took out a gold note and threw it to the leading burly man.
"Sir, do you really want to go against my Lin family?" The big man took a deep breath and said seriously. The third son's secret was exposed. If Xu Feng took him away in public, the Lin family would be embarrassed, and he would not be easy.
"Your master, is this the only concubine he needs? I am the chief minister of the Wan family in the west of the city. Now that I have stepped forward, if I cannot even protect two ordinary weak women, then where will my face be?" Xu Feng glanced at him and said lightly.
The big man was stunned when he heard this and couldn't respond for a moment.
"Well said!" A middle-aged man suddenly spoke up in the crowd. The leading man looked unhappy at first, but when he saw the other man's face, his anger turned into joy, and he immediately saluted respectfully with the other three.
"Fifth Elder!"
The other party turned out to be a high-ranking member of the Lin family, and was also a mid-level third-grade expert.
"You are the chief priest of the Wan family, right? Since you want to protect these two people, there is certainly no need for our Lin family to make enemies with a strong man like you for two ordinary women. You can take the people away." The other person was dressed in white, with a handsome face and a somewhat elegant demeanor.
"But even if you save these two, what can you change? My third son is indeed a bit disappointing, but in Qinglian County, there are hundreds of cultivation families, big and small, all added up. There are one or two useless people like my third son in every family. There are at least hundreds of them in this county alone, not to mention other county cities and those evil forces."
"To warriors, ordinary people are nothing more than ants. This is the way the world is. It was like this before, it is like this now, and it will be like this in the future. How many people can you save with your kindness?"
The words of the fifth son of the Lin family, on the one hand, excused the brutal behavior of the third son of the Lin family, and on the other hand, mocked Xu Feng's actions as meaningless, because he was not fighting against the Lin family, but the whole world.
When the ordinary people around heard this, they all lowered their heads and kept silent. Yes, what happened to the sisters was indeed unfortunate, but such things happen anytime and anywhere, but most of the time they are hidden in dark corners, quietly, and not made public. But in fact, everyone knows it in their hearts, but it is tacitly understood.
Is there any family that doesn’t have people who bully others and behave in despicable ways?
When the sisters heard this, they were also saddened and shed tears silently. Heaven is unfair, and the lives of ordinary people are as cheap as ants.
Xu Feng glanced at the other person calmly. Then he said, "I once heard a story that one day, a strong wind and waves blew up at the seaside, and a large group of small fish washed up on the shore. These small fish are very fragile and will die soon after leaving the water. Even if you pick them up as quickly as possible and put them back into the water, you can't save many in such a short time. But one person still did his best."
"Some people also told him that it was meaningless to do this, as saving just a few fish would have no impact on the overall situation. But he said that although saving these few fish was insignificant to the entire fish group, it completely changed the fate of the fish themselves."
After Xu Feng finished speaking, he waited quietly for a moment, looked at the ugly face of the fifth brother of the Lin family, and said word by word: "Listen carefully, I will protect these two people. I know that your Lin family may feel embarrassed, and may take advantage of my unpreparedness or lack of time to take action against them secretly.
But remember this, if anything happens to these two, I will not investigate anyone else but your Lin family. Even if I saw it with my own eyes, and it was someone who had nothing to do with your Lin family who attacked them, I will still hold your family responsible.
When the time comes, I will immediately abandon my position as the chief priest of the Wan Family and fight with your Chengnan Lin Family as a casual cultivator until death!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his powerful aura, which was at the peak of the middle stage of the fifth rank and faintly reaching the late stage, burst out, shocking the whole audience and making the face of the fifth son of the Lin family even uglier, turning blue and white.
"Okay, very good. The Wan family's chief priest? The Lin family will remember you." The fifth son of the Lin family's chest was heaving, but in the end, he still walked away unwillingly.
