Chapter 824: Chapter 827: Hostage
"Young brother, I, Yang Ming, will remember today’s favor. Farewell." Yang Ming got the location of Xue Shiyi’s masters and walked out.
As he left, he told the guards at the door, "I am going to report to the elder master."
Yang Ming walked away confidently. With the information provided by Xue Shiyi, he successfully found the place where the masters were staying.
By chance, there was an elderly man in the courtyard at that moment. Yang Ming thought that this must be one of Xue Shiyi’s masters.
Since Yang Ming was wearing clothes from Medicine King Valley and it was already dark, the elderly man didn’t notice anything unusual.
He spoke, "No need to look for time, there’s no need for you here. You can leave first."
After saying that, the elderly man turned and walked towards his room.
Yang Ming felt the opportunity had come. He quickly stepped forward and grabbed the elderly man, saying, "Sir, I apologize for this offense."
The elderly man, suddenly stunned, asked, "Who are you?"
"Sir, I am Yang Ming, here to seek medical help. My son’s illness can’t wait, and out of desperation, I had to resort to this. I sneaked into Medicine King Valley at night. Rest assured, I won’t harm you, I only ask you to help my son."
As Yang Ming spoke, he escorted the elderly man outside, but just then the elder shouted, "Help, someone has intruded into the valley!"
Yang Ming hurriedly tried to cover the elder’s mouth, but it was too late. Several of the masters inside heard the commotion and came out, seeing the fourth elder being held hostage.
Realizing he couldn’t escape, Yang Ming knew his only way out was to hold onto the elder. He said, "Esteemed elders, my actions today are out of desperation. My son’s illness truly cannot wait. Once he treats my son, I will leave myself to your mercy."
Yang Ming spoke while continuing to hold the elder, making his way outside. At this moment, the disciples outside also heard the disturbance and rushed over, surrounding Yang Ming upon seeing their master being held hostage.
Yang Ming’s heart sank. Would he fail again? He knew he could only intimidate them; he would never harm the elder.
Being held, the elder thought Yang Ming would do something to him, so he fearfully said, "Don’t come any closer."
Yang Ming thought, perhaps he should take a gamble, so he grasped the elder’s neck and said fiercely, "Get out of the way, let us leave, or I will not show mercy."
Yang Ming didn’t use much strength, but the elder’s voice was still weak, "You mustn’t come any closer."
The disciples, unsure what to do, turned to look at the elder master, who waved his hand, and they all made way for Yang Ming.
Thus, Yang Ming left Medicine King Valley with Xue Shiyi’s fourth master.
After they left, Xue Shiyi’s third master spoke, "Alright, alright, everyone break it up."
A disciple worriedly asked, "Third master, is it really okay that the master was taken hostage?"
"It’s fine, it’s fine, all of you head back."
Seeing their masters’ response, everyone reluctantly returned.
Only a few elderly stayed in the courtyard. Xue Shiyi’s third master spoke, "Hehe, old fourth opposed saving that child. Now that he’s been taken hostage, let’s see if he saves him or not."
"Old fourth cherishes his life so much; I bet he’ll save the child."
