9 Straight into Tiger's Den

Qian Lu was elated to found something interesting. He kept mocking the Second Young Master, "An Ancient Earth Realm stumbles and falls down because of a push from behind. What a joke!"

Qian Hui follows, "You may fool everyone with this nonsense. Unfortunately, I, your father is too smart for that."

Feng Ao Xiu stands up and looks around. It was in the middle of the road, luckily no one else was there. Then, he asked a question to the two men, "Did anyone else knew?"

Qian Lu answered vigorously, "Fortunately for you, no one else except the two of us. We didn't want our reward to be too little."

"What do you want?"

Qian Hui rubbed his hands together, "Hehehe... The Second Young Master really understands us. A promotion to be captain, 100 gold taels upfront, and another one gold taels every week."

A massive smile appeared on Qian Lu's face, "You should know that we like to talk too much. Of course, it only happens when something didn't satisfy us."

Feng Ao Xiu sighed. He has no choice but to do this.

"I understand. Follow me!"

Qian Qian were happy, they never thought blackmailing someone was this easy. Looks like 100 gold taels were too little, maybe they should ask for a bit more.

If the Second Young Master refuses or talks back they just might be satisfied with the current price or maybe even lower the price. However, seeing Feng Ao Xiu so docile, both brothers couldn't help but want for more.

[Yes, it's too little, we must increase the price later]

[More money means more food for me!]

The three men arrived at the Clan Lord's house. The Clan Lord himself met them as soon as they enter inside.

"Ao Ao, What are Qian Qian doing here?", asked Feng Zhong Tian with a confused look.

"It's Ao Xiu! Not Ao Ao!"

Feng Ao Xiu still didn't like to be called by that name. He calms himself down and started explaining, "Both of them knew what's going on"

"What!?"

[The Clan Lord is actually also involved in this secret, this will make things easier]

Qian Qian were sneering evilly. They could feel the money was coming closer and closer.

Feng Ao Xiu continued, "The good news is no one else knew. Now that..."

Qian Hui interrupts, "If you want to keep this secret safe, you can start by giving us 1,000 gold taels. Remember that it must be in gold, not silver."

Feng Ao Xiu shook his head. These two fools were actually asking for a higher price. They didn't know what they get into.

"Father, now that I have brought them here, you can kill them easily."

Qian Hui nodded and continued to threaten, "That's right. We also want 10 gold taels delivered to our house every wee... Wait! What?"

They've been had. How could they be so stupid? Someone who is not a cultivator actually leads them by the nose straight into tiger's den. The victim asked "Did anyone else knew?", and they answer truthfully. The victim said "Follow Me!", and they followed. Now, an Iron Mortal Realm tiger appears, Ah... They have become the victims.

Usually, in blackmail, one person will stay behind and the others will follow. It's to ensure that the one that follows will not be killed. Even if the one that follows was killed, then the one that stayed behind could reveal the secret to the whole world. This was actually a good lesson in blackmailing, but it's too late now.

Qian Qian were both in the Fifth Stage of Abstract Spirit Realm, their opponents, the Clan Lord, an Iron Mortal Realm Cultivator. Facing such an opponent, they can neither run nor hide. Fighting wasn't an option either, they will be killed in three or four moves.

Both of their minds were all over the place. Their eyes move very fast trying to find a way out. It seems like they could talk to each other every time their eyes came into contact with each other.

[Big brother, Let's say there's someone else behind the scene]

[Lying that someone else knows the secret, maybe earlier, but now it's too late, they were not going to believe it when you're at a disadvantage]

[How about the Second Young Master! Let's take him as a hostage]

[Good idea... What! The Second Young Master already runs into the corner of the room. There is no way to take the Second Young Master now]

[F*ck! What do we do now!]

After a quick conclusion with no way out. They looked at each other one more time, then they nodded. They came to an understanding.

[Yes! We have no choice left]

[There's only one thing left to do]

Suddenly, both of them kneeled on the ground, their hands were shaking, then they kowtowed out of fear.

"Oh! The Clan Lord! The Great Clan Lord! Please forgive me! This lowly guard does not know anything. It is all this fatty's fault, he coerced me into it. I swear I will not tell anyone. Please let me go!"

"Oh! The greatest and the most handsome man in the world! Who else could he be but Feng Zhong Tian? Please forgive me! I was threatened by this skinny man. He told me that he would kill me if I did not do as he said. I swear I will not tell anyone. Please forgive me!"

Feng Zhong Tian felt headache. These two were really shameless. They were so arrogant when they have the upper hand, and so lowly after being backed into the corner. They were not good at their job, not good at cultivating, even not good at blackmailing. The only thing they're good at was begging for forgiveness. They were really different from their father.

Before Feng Zhong Tian even notice, the two men already clung to his thighs. Their eyes spewing a large number of crocodile tears.

"Uhuu... Huu... Hu... Clan Lord! It's not my fault! It's not my fault! Just kill this fatty, don't kill me!"

"It's all his fault! It's all his fault! He's the one who planned all this. I only know how to eat. Don't kill me! Uhuuuu... Huu..."

Feng Zhong Tian couldn't stand this any longer and said, "Enough! Enough! I won't kill you both. So stop crying!! It's was annoying as hell."

Qian Qian immediately released their grip. While still kneeling, they said simultaneously, "Thank you to the Clan Lord."

Feng Ao Xiu couldn't comprehend his father's action.

[That's weird, based on father's personality, he really would kill them. By letting them go, they could try to blackmail him once again. Didn't he want the secret to be safe?]

"Father, Why did you let them go?"

Feng Zhong Tian laughs it off and turned his attention to Qian Qian.

"Qian Qian, do you guys know what happened to your father?"

"Didn't he die while on a mission?", Qian Lu answered.

"That's right! He died on a mission to save my life. That's why, when I heard two of his son applying to be guards at Feng Clan failed, I use my authority to reverse the decision."

[There's such a story! No wonder they're still here!]

Feng Ao Xiu was stunned. He finally knew why these two people did not die even after countless mistakes. His father actually saved them.
