Chapter 36: Valiant Defenders

Lord Yuan, why are you oppressing a blind old woman like me? What have I done wrong?! Madam Wu continued to struggle.

Fang Chen sneered. A blind person wouldnt keep looking around. Xu Ge, pluck out whatever is in her eyes.

Yes, young master.

The grinning Xu Ge fumbled around Madam Wus eyes before pulling out two white, murky pieces. Beneath those white, murky pieces were a pair of brilliant eyes that clearly didnt belong to a blind person.

Yuan Yu and Fang Zhixue were stumped.

Yuan Zhuangs expression stiffened. His face reddened in shame, as he couldnt believe that a rectifier like him had been taken for a fool!

Young master, its skin shaved from a fishs eye. Its a common street trick, Xu Ge mocked.

Madam Wus expression tensed up. She vigilantly eyed her surroundings as she searched for an opportunity to slip away from Xu Ge. Needless to say, she looked nowhere as sickly as she did earlier.

Of course, it was no easy feat to escape from the hands of a pinnacle Ki Explosion martial artist.

Xu Ge grabbed Madam Wu by her neck and asked, Youll be here until the young master permits you to leave. Try to escape, and Ill break your leg.

Tell me where did the missing siblings go, Fang Chen calmly asked.

Many emotions flickered across Madam Wus face. In the end, she sheepishly replied, I dont know. I only occupied this house because it was empty.

Speak the truth, Fang Chen said. It has been a long time since anyone stayed here. Why did you leave this house empty if youre looking for a place to stay?

Madam Wu hadnt expected Fang Chen to see through that too. Her face continued to flicker in uncertainty.

Lie again, and Ill drag you to the Court of Great Brilliance. By then, Ill make sure to spit out everything that you know, Yuan Zhuang sneered.

Lord Yuan, Ill speak the truth! Seeing how things were getting serious, Madam Wu dared not to hide the truth and quickly explained the matter.

She was a conman. She would look for empty houses, pretend to be the relative, and find a chance to sell them out. A few years back, she learned that this house was empty, so she bribed the neighbors and occupied the house under the pretext of being the siblings blind mother.

So its Lord Xu, Yuan Zhuang clasped his fist and greeted with a perfunctory smile.

The other party coldly eyed Yuan Zhuang. Yuan Zhuang, I remember telling you a few years back that you have to inform our barracks if you have something to do in the outer city. I heard you brought someone here to beat up innocent civilians. Is this true?

Innocent civilians? Are you talking about these people? Yuan Zhuang pointed at Grandpa Lu on the ground. If hes an innocent civilian, Id be a saint.

Hmph, I wont waste my breath on you. Well get to the bottom of this in the barracks. Men, apprehend them! Lord Xu said with a grand wave of his hand.

The Valiant Defenders charged forward and surrounded them.

Seeing this, Xu Ge stepped in front of Fang Chen and coldly eyed the Valiant Defenders. My young master isnt going anywhere.

Audacious!

The Valiant Defenders drew their swords and coldly eyed Xu Ge. Murderous intent suffused this little house.

Lord Xu, be careful! This man is Windcloud Sword Xu Ge. I was subdued by him in a moment of carelessness, Grandpa Lu exclaimed.

Windcloud Sword Xu Ge? Lord Xu frowned. A wandering pugilist like you dares to kick up a fuss in the capital? Do you think that you can oppose the Valiant Defenders just because youre a pinnacle Ki Explosion martial artist?

Lord Xu, youre a Valiant Defenders centurion, right? Fang Chen glanced at Lord Xus waist token and asked.

Lord Xu eyed Fang Chen. For some reason, he found the latter oddly familiar.

A Valiant Defenders centurion is of the same rank as a Court of Great Brilliances rectifier, but you show no respect for your peer. The first thing you want to do upon arriving at the scene is to arrest your peer. Arent you Valiant Defenders being too domineering? Fang Chen shook his head.

You have no right to criticize the Valiant Defenders! Lord Xu sneered. Which clan are you from? Stay in the inner city if you have nothing better to do!

Lord Xu, it looks like you have stayed in the outer city for too long if you dont even recognize War God Fang! Im really worried for you if your eyes are this bad, Yuan Zhuang remarked with a sigh.

War God Fang?!

Lord Xu, as well as Grandpa Lu and his lackeys, trembled in horror. All of them reflexively turned to Fang Chen with eyes of disbelief. Madam Wu, whom Xu Ge had been holding up from the start to the end, nearly collapsed on the ground.
