Genius Summoner

1222 Learning About the Yun Family (3)

The corners of the young man’s mouth curled up. “A hundred mid-level ores. I’ll make this stinky girl the target of my thirsty brothers today if any is missing!”

The little girl was immediately frightened to tears again. The old man’s face was even paler. Robbers! Despicable, shameless robbers! How dare they ask for so much!

Yun Feng sneered with her red lips. She flipped her wrist and casually threw two high-level ores to the young man’s feet. The young man couldn’t help but widen his eyes when he saw that. Those were… high-level ores! The eyes of the lackeys behind the young man also brightened when they saw that. High-level ores!

“One high-level ore is to pay off the amount of ores the old man is due for, while the other is for you to kowtow and apologize!”

The young man immediately turned pale after hearing that. Should he pick up the two high-level ores that fell on the ground? If he did, he would obviously be insulted by her. If he didn’t… Those were high-level ores! It was already good enough for this small village to have mid-level ores, let alone high-level ores!

Qu Lanyi and Mu Canghai both looked at the young man with a cold smile. They would only get themselves dirty if they dealt with such a person. Didn’t he like to ask for an exorbitant price? Then, they would humiliate him fiercely with what he wanted! The villagers of the Twilight Village were also attracted by the commotion. This was a rare good scene. Not only was this scum of the Zhou family tyrannical here, but he had also ruined so many good girls of other families. The villagers of the Twilight Village hated him in their minds. Now that there was a good show to humiliate him, they certainly had to watch!

The young man looked at the villagers that were gradually gathering around and was even more embarrassed in his mind. He glared at the old man fiercely with his eyes. Old man, you have guts! Let’s see how I deal with you after this person leaves! The young man casually picked up a high-level ore on the ground and then looked at the other one reluctantly. In the end, he couldn’t help but pick it up. “Old man, I’ll spare you today! We’ll see about that in the future!”

After putting away the two high-level ores quickly, the young man left quickly with his group of people. Yun Feng looked at his back coldly and had already thought about the matter in her mind. The villagers watching the drama immediately burst into laughter. Their laughter was extremely mocking. The young man’s face turned red and pale as he quickly ran away dejectedly.

“Miss, you…” The old man sighed. Yun Feng walked over and touched the little girl’s tear-stained face. “It’s fine. I still have something to ask of you. Can we go to your home?”

The old man was startled and finally nodded. The people watching around were still discussing. Yun Feng and the others had already left behind the old man. Mu Canghai frowned and whispered, “Even though Yun Feng helped them out, she also started trouble.”

Qu Lanyi sneered. “The reason why the scum of the Zhou family is so arrogant is certainly because there’s someone up there. Fengfeng has seen through this. Besides, how can she just stand by and do nothing? If it were me, I probably wouldn’t care. However, with Fengfeng’s personality, do you think she’ll ignore it?”

Mu Canghai chuckled. “I know, but sometimes, you can help someone once, but you can’t help them forever.”

“This isn’t something Fengfeng should worry about. She simply has a kind heart. If the person being helped thinks he’s safe from now on, it’s meaningless to help.”

Mu Canghai was silent for a long time and didn’t say anything else. The old man led the three of them to a very dilapidated yard. “We’re here. Even though this place is a bit dilapidated, it’s still habitable.” The old man smiled a bit reluctantly. Yun Feng didn’t say anything and simply walked in. She picked a place and sat down. The old man was about to make a pot of tea, but Yun Feng stopped him. The little girl ran somewhere else to play.

“Old man, can you tell us the situation here in detail? Why are you handing over the ores? Who stipulated this?”

The old man heaved a long sigh. “Who stipulated this? Of course, it’s the hierarchy. I only regret that we don’t live in the area under the Yun family’s jurisdiction… Otherwise…”

“In the area under the jurisdiction of the Yun family?” Yun Feng’s heart suddenly became hot. The old man nodded. “Yes, there are ten cities in this area. Each city has an attached area. There’s certainly a large family in the city that’s responsible for the area. Our Twilight Village is under the jurisdiction of Jiang City, where the Jiang family is located, and the Zhou family is the Jiang family’s lackey. That’s why they’re so arrogant in the Twilight Village.”

Ten cities… It seemed that the situation in this area was more complicated than imagined. Since the Yun family was in charge of an area, it seemed that their status in this area wasn’t low.

“Old man, judging from your tone just then, you seem to be looking forward to living in the territory under the jurisdiction of the Yun family?” Qu Lanyi asked with a low smile. The old man chuckled forlornly. “I’m afraid everyone in the ten cities thinks so. The people in the territory under the Yun family are harmonious and peaceful. They won’t hand over ores at all. The Yun family is unbiased and treats the people extremely well. Who doesn’t want to live there?”

Yun Feng was touched in her mind after hearing this. This was the Yun family… The Yun family that did things openly and was upright! She had always been proud of this surname. The obsession in her mind along the way was also because of this family bond. Up till now, the Yun family indeed didn’t let her down at all! It was worth it to do everything for such a family!

“So, among the ten cities, other than Yun City, which is under the jurisdiction of the Yun family, the other nine cities all have the practice of handing over ores regularly?” Qu Lanyi frowned. The old man sighed again. “That’s right. So, the Yun family did this for the good of the people, but they also made a lot of enemies for this. Many people in the other nine cities don’t like the Yun family. Not to mention the other cities, just Jiang City alone has already hated the Yun family to the bone.”

Yun Feng’s eyes darkened. What the Yun family did was indeed making enemies for themselves, but the Yun family had its own persistence. They wouldn’t change just because of someone else. They would never demean themselves! The Yun family was just so stubborn…

“It seems that the Yun family isn’t doing well right now.” Qu Lanyi glanced at Yun Feng worriedly. The old man sighed again. “That’s right. Even though the Yun family is ostracized from the circle of power, its strength and background aren’t comparable to other families at all. I’m truly puzzled. Why did such a family come out of the Inner Region?”

Yun Feng clenched her fists. Other people wouldn’t understand, but she did! She understood everything that the Yun family suffered! She understood the sorrow of the Yun family!

“Senior, the families in the Inner Region are also changing constantly, right?” Mu Canghai said. This was also the question Yun Feng wanted to ask the most. The old man nodded. “Although I don’t know much about this, it’s a big deal. It seems that the families in the ten cities have a selection every once in a while. The top families will enter the Inner Region again and some families in the Inner Region will be ostracized.”
