C735 Misunderstanding
"Die!" The biggest threat, the Red Flame, had finally disappeared. The old man roared and was about to charge forward to end Ye Bufan's life.
"Uncle Soong, don't kill him." woman wearing crape said slowly.
"But he is a robber. He wants to steal our goods." The old man called Uncle Soong tried to defend himself with force. He released his killing intent without any restraint.
"This might be a misunderstanding. I know this man, and he is definitely not a robber."
"But..."
Woman wearing crape forcefully interrupted Uncle Soong's remaining words and coldly said, "If I say he is not, then he is not. Don't say meaningless nonsense anymore."
"Yes!" Uncle Soong seemed to have yielded and lowered his head, but a trace of cold light flashed in his eyes.
Woman wearing crape slowly walked to the front of Ye Bufan. At this time, Ye Bufan just came back to his senses.
"It's you!"
Ye Bufan was surprised to find that woman wearing crape, who he had saved before, was also here.
"It was a misunderstanding just now. Uncle Soong thought you were a bandit blocking the way. I'm sorry." woman wearing crape said guiltily.
Misunderstanding? Ye Bufan sneered in his heart. Luckily, my strength isn't weak. Otherwise, I would have died in the hands of this old bastard, Uncle Soong. Thinking of this, he glared at Uncle Soong furiously.
"Humph!" Uncle Soong sensed Ye Bufan's angry gaze and snorted coldly.
Woman wearing crape saw that the two of them were about to fight another fierce battle and hastily said, "Didn't you want to go to Emperor City? I can send you there. Just treat it as an apology. What do you think?"
To be honest, Ye Bufan didn't intend to continue looking for Uncle Soong because Uncle Soong was an Immortal Soul expert. The gap between Ye Bufan and him was too great. Even if they fought, the one who would suffer in the end would be Ye Bufan.
Hearing woman wearing crape's words, Ye Bufan's ugly expression finally eased up a little. He nodded, agreeing with woman wearing crape's words.
Ah!
Just as woman wearing crape and Ye Bufan were about to walk towards the carriage, there was suddenly a scream of terror from nearby.
The sound came from the original position of the tree stump, and it seemed to be coming from underground.
Uncle Soong's body jumped, and he quickly rushed to that position. He lowered his head and looked down. His face revealed a cold expression as he coldly said, "Die, you robber!"
"Sister, save me!" The tender voice and the terrified scream seemed so powerless at this moment.
For some reason, Ye Bufan's heart was deeply touched. It was as if the person who was about to be killed by Uncle Soong was not a robber, but an innocent and pitiful young man.
Uncle Soong's eyes were flickering with a cold light that caused one's heart to palpitate, and a strange smile hung on the corner of his mouth. A snake-shaped weapon had appeared in his hand at some unknown time. Under the weak moonlight, it was shining with a threatening cold light. He held his hands back and stabbed downwards with all his might.
Suddenly, Uncle Soong's entire body tensed up. A strong sense of danger rose in his heart. Uncle Soong was shocked, and he hurriedly gave up on this attack. His body moved to the side with great difficulty, but time was still a bit slow. A terrifying force still smashed onto his body.
The mighty Uncle Soong, an Immortal Soul warrior, was sent flying by a single punch.
Ye Bufan looked at his own fists in disbelief. He instantly sensed the condition of the spiritual Qi in his body. It was actually several times stronger than before. Ye Bufan was pleasantly surprised to find out that... Unwittingly, he had broken through to the Late Period of Immortal Spirit, and his strength had increased by a large margin.
Otherwise, even if he was hit by Uncle Soong with his Middle Period of Immortal Spirit cultivation base, he wouldn't be in such a sorry state.
Bang!
Uncle Soong's body fell heavily onto the ground. He quickly got up and looked at Ye Bufan with eyes that were spitting fire.
There was actually a deep hole in the ground where the big tree stump was. At this moment, a thirteen or fourteen year old young man crawled out from the hole. His pale face was filled with fear, and his body was trembling as he looked at his surroundings.
Ye Bufan silently sighed. Recently, there seemed to be something wrong. He liked to be impulsive. One should know that Ye Bufan was a very calm person in the past. Even Ye Bufan himself couldn't accept such a huge contrast.
"Brat, how dare you sneak attack me? You're courting death!" Uncle Soong was extremely furious. He had suffered losses in Ye Bufan's hands one after another. As an Immortal Soul warrior, Uncle Soong felt an unprecedented humiliation.
At this moment, woman wearing crape was calmer than anyone else. The same thing happened to the two old horse riders. Both of them looked coldly at Uncle Soong who had been sneak attacked, as if they were looking at a stranger who had nothing to do with them.
"Let's go!"
Ye Bufan knew that the sneak attack just now had completely angered Uncle Soong. Even if woman wearing crape could temporarily suppress it, Uncle Soong would never put up a good fight. Ye Bufan wasn't confident that he would be able to survive the sneak attack of an Immortal Soul expert. Escaping now was the best option.
Before he left, he didn't forget the young man he had just saved.
"You want to leave? No way!"
The furious Uncle Soong certainly wouldn't watch Ye Bufan leave this place. If he did that, it would undoubtedly be a slap to his face, a humiliation that he would never be able to get rid of.
A Immortal Soul couldn't kill a Spirit Stage expert, and even let him escape successfully. If this was spread out, people would definitely laugh their heads off.
"Let him go!" Suddenly, woman wearing crape said coldly.
Uncle Soong's face froze, and he angrily said, "Why? He attacked me just now, and even stopped me from killing the robber. I have already started to wonder if he is in cahoots with this robber. Why don't you let me kill him?"
"I said let him go, don't you understand?" woman wearing crape coldly said, "Uncle Liu, Uncle Li, please explain to Uncle Soong. Uncle Soong is old, and he is a little old and muddle-headed."
Uncle Liu and Uncle Li walked to Uncle Soong with big steps. The two of them surrounded Uncle Soong. Their faces were cold. They looked at Uncle Soong with threatening eyes and said coldly, "Brother, don't make it difficult for us to be human."
"Humph!"
Uncle Soong let out a cold humph. His face was filled with unwillingness. He could only watch as Ye Bufan and the young man disappeared into the dark night.
"This Uncle Soong is too strange."
Ye Bufan was puzzled in his heart. He had vaguely heard the conversation just now. woman wearing crape seemed to have a strange attitude towards Uncle Soong, as if she was treating a stranger who had nothing to do with her. Otherwise, Ye Bufan would not have been able to successfully sneak attack Uncle Soong. After all, there were two strong horsekeepers standing not far away.
However, they did not have any intention of stopping him. They did not even say anything to warn him. They could only watch Uncle Soong suffer a secret loss. If it were not for Uncle Soong driving the first carriage, they would not have been able to stop him. Ye Bufan would even think that Uncle Soong and woman wearing crape were not the same person.
Maybe there was some conflict between them?
There was no lack of conflict between big families. It was nothing more than a fight for power and wealth.
"Brother-in-law, what's wrong with you?" The young man's pale face finally eased up a little. He looked at Ye Bufan with a puzzled expression and asked.
Ye Bufan shook his head and gently said, "Nothing, I just thought of something that I don't understand..."
"Wait, what did you call me?" Ye Bufan looked at the young man in shock.
The young man smiled and said, "I called you brother-in-law. What's wrong? Did you call me by the wrong name?"
Ye Bufan was completely speechless. He felt very awkward being called brother-in-law by a stranger. He smiled bitterly and said, "Do you know what brother-in-law means?"
"I know. Although my sister hasn't married you yet, it's not too early to call you brother-in-law now. Anyway, it's only a matter of time."
The more Ye Bufan heard, the more he felt that something was wrong. Initially, he thought that the young man didn't know the meaning of sisters, but who knew that he actually knew? Ye Bufan quickly interrupted him.
"Are you mistaken? I don't know your sister at all."
"I know. Of course you don't know my sister, but this can't deny the fact that you are my brother-in-law." The young man didn't know whether he had taken the wrong medicine or he had been so scared that he had gone crazy. He insisted that Ye Bufan was his brother-in-law.
"I really am not."
"You are!"1
In the end, Ye Bufan didn't have the slightest temper because of this little fellow. He smiled bitterly and didn't defend himself anymore. The little fellow could call him whatever it wanted.
"Brother-in-law, let's go back to Emperor City now. I am worried about my sister being alone at home." The young man said with a worried expression.
"Your family is in Emperor City?" Ye Bufan said in surprise. He had been worrying about the exact location of the Emperor City just now, but who knew that the young man's family was in the Emperor City?
The young man nodded and said softly, "Yes, it's in the west of the Emperor City."
"Alright, let's go back now." Ye Bufan said excitedly. If they could return to Emperor City before dawn, there was still time.
The young man led the way. Ye Bufan followed closely behind. The excitement on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by intense worry. It wasn't a problem for him to return to Emperor City, but an even bigger problem had appeared. How should he meet woman in white?
The thing that worried Ye Bufan the most was Ru. The contrast between the two of them was too big, and it was very strange. She had even framed Ye Bufan once. Even so, Ye Bufan was still unable to figure out what kind of person Ru was.
These two sisters were both dangerous people. The antidote would not be easy to obtain either.
Although he was worried, Ye Bufan had no other choice. If he wanted to live, he had to find woman in white. As for the rest of the matters, he had no other choice.
"Ye Bufan, you must not use the Scarlet Flame in the future." Suddenly, a heavy voice sounded in his mind.
Red Flame? Ye Bufan asked in confusion, "What's wrong?" He really did not remember when he had used Red Flame.
"I don't know either. Anyway, I won't use it as little as possible in the future. Although the power of the Red Flame is very strong, it's not a good thing. It has a very terrifying negative effect."
"Okay!" Although Ye Bufan did not understand, the Red Flame had to burn its vitality to be able to be used. Without the reminder of the big stone, who would use the Red Flame as an attack that did not care about their life unless it was absolutely necessary?
Time passed quietly. When the sky lit up, the two exhausted people finally arrived outside the city gate of Emperor City.
The city gate would only open when the sun rose. Ye Bufan and the young man could only sit on the rocks and rest, patiently waiting for the city gate to open.
"Hu, why do you want to be a robber? Don't tell me you lack money to spend?" Along the way, Ye Bufan also learned the young man's name and family situation.
Speaking of which, the youth's background was extremely pitiful. He had lost his father and mother since he was young. Only his elder sister, Fenn, was left to rely on each other. And three years ago, Hu's elder sister, Fenn, suddenly had a strange illness in order to maintain a clean family. Hu had no choice but to carry his sister and become a robber.
