Xiao Yao

Chapter 278 An Apology

Ye Tian nodded, "I read the cultivation notes of a Human Immortal. He also encountered a similar situation. His cultivation was stuck between the Divine Realm and Human Immortal for thirty-seven years. Unfortunately, that person eventually descended into demonic cultivation. The current Zhang Nuoyang is likely in that state. One step forward is immortality, one step back is demonhood!"

Lin Jinsheng asked, "So you figured he was afraid of you?"

Ye Tian replied, "If he sent someone to apologize, then that's certain. If not, then my judgment was wrong."

Ye Shaodong said, "Xiao Tian, why won't the Zhang family allow us to build the tomb?"

Ye Tian explained, "This place is a geomantic treasure. We can see it, and so can the Zhang family."

Ye Tian wasn't in a hurry to leave. He walked around the construction site, urging the workers to speed up. These workers were introduced by Lin Jinsheng, who was knowledgeable about civil engineering. He acted as Ye Tian's guide on site.

About two hours later, a Range Rover drove up the mountain. Four people got out and strode towards the summit.

Ye Shaodong glanced over and said, "Xiao Tian, they've arrived!"

Ye Tian instructed, "Brother, don't say anything later. I'll handle it!"

He slowly walked down, and they met halfway. Among the four people, there were two young men and two middle-aged men. One of the middle-aged men had a handlebar mustache, long arms, a buzz cut, and was about 1.8 meters tall. He cupped his fist towards Ye Tian and said, "Zhang Jianling, greetings to Martial King Ye!"

Ye Tian sized up the man. He was a Grandmaster of the Qi Realm, with solid cultivation, but his lineage and inheritance were far inferior to his own.

"What is your rank in the Zhang family?" Ye Tian asked.

Zhang Jianling replied, "Reporting to Martial King, I am second."

Ye Tian declared, "Your Zhang family is quite overbearing, daring to prevent my Ye family from building a tomb! Go back and tell Zhang Nuoyang that within three days, I will bring my friends and seek justice from your Zhang family!"

Zhang Jianling's expression changed, and he quickly said, "Martial King Ye, it was all a misunderstanding! That leader was damned. I have already severed his hands and feet, preventing him from committing further evil deeds!"

As he spoke, a young man behind him placed a wooden box on the ground. Inside were a pair of hands and a pair of feet, freshly severed and bloody.

Ye Tian glanced at them, "The Zhang family is truly ruthless!" He recognized the bald man's hands, and there was no doubt the feet were his as well.

Zhang Jianling pleaded, "As long as Martial King Ye calms his anger, we will do whatever it takes!"

At this moment, another large truck drove up the mountain, carrying a whole piece of jade.

Zhang Jianling announced, "Martial King Ye, my father learned of this matter and is deeply concerned. Thus, he ordered me to deliver this spiritual jade. This spiritual jade comes from Kunlun Mountain, containing spiritual veins, and is an unparalleled treasure."

Ye Tian stated calmly, "Mr. Zhang is too polite. I, Ye Tian, am not an unreasonable person."

Zhang Jianling hastily replied, "The fault lies with us. Please, Martial King Ye, accept this item. Otherwise, my father will not be at peace."

Ye Tian paused for a few seconds and said, "Very well, I accept it! Please tell Mr. Zhang that I will visit to express my gratitude another day!"

Zhang Jianling responded, "Thank you for your magnanimity, Martial King Ye. The Zhang family always welcomes your presence."

After a few polite exchanges, Zhang Jianling led his men away, and the jade was placed on the mountain by the workers.

After the group departed, Ye Shaodong chuckled, "Xiao Tian, you guessed correctly. The Zhang family is indeed afraid!"

Ye Tian nodded, "Yes, it was expected. Uncle, Brother, let's go take a look at that jade."

Approaching the jade stone, a chill could be felt from several meters away.

Lin Jinsheng exclaimed, "What fine jade!"

The jade was rectangular, approximately three meters long and one and a half meters high. Its texture was exceptionally warm and fine, making it a supreme quality jade, worth a fortune.

Ye Shaodong asked, "Xiao Tian, how should we handle this jade?"

Ye Tian replied, "This jade would be suitable for a jade coffin, but Father, Mother, and Eldest Sister-in-law have already been cremated, so a jade coffin is unnecessary. Let's have it transported home for now."

Lin Jinsheng quickly said, "Xiao Tian, I know a bit about jade. This jade is of excellent quality, worth no less than a hundred per gram! Such a large piece of jade must be worth billions!"

Ye Shaodong was astonished, "Billions? Xiao Tian, the Zhang family sent something so expensive!"
