The First Volume Wudang Xiantian Chapter 12: Ma Certain's Rules

  The other stablemen couldn't help but shiver at the sight, exchanging a glance, and were just about to quietly leave when Ye Xuan suddenly sneered, "Think you can leave?"

  "Spare our lives, Seventh Master!" Several people hastily knelt down and kowtowed.

  Even Shatongtian, who had cultivated Tianmo Lian Gu Gong to the sixth level, died at Ye Xu's hands, let alone them?

  Ye Xiu's eyes revealed a hint of disgust: "I've always been clear about gratitude and resentment, and I must retaliate. If others respect me by one foot, I'll return it with ten feet; if others glare at me, I'll punch them back! You few should know what to do now!"

  Several people exchanged a glance, and one of them, Ma Niu, plucked up his courage and asked: "What does Seventh Master mean?"

  Ye Xue's gaze swept over the horse dung in the iron shovel and coldly said: "Eat it!"

  Several stablemen with bitter faces crawled and rolled in front of the iron shovel, stretching out their hands to grab at the horse dung.

  "Disgusting!"

  Ye Xiu glanced at them for a moment, and suddenly didn't have the mind to bother with these small roles, and walked out of the stable.

  He suddenly stopped in his tracks, and saw an old man with a sinister gaze standing in front of the stable, staring at him sternly.

  The outer gatekeeper of Ye Manor, Ye Li!

  "Seventh Master, I told you before, one day you will fall into my hands!"

  Ye Li's eyes gleamed with a cold smile as he said proudly, "Ye Shaobao, aren't you going to kneel down and confess your crimes?"

  Ye Xu revealed a look of astonishment: "Ye Li, why should I kneel to you?"

  Ye Li's laughter grew louder, his eyes colder, as a fierce aura burst forth, enveloping Ye Xu. The martial arts' innate pressure bore down on Ye Xu, and he said in a cold tone: "Because you are a slave of the Ma family, and I am the Outer Gate Manager! As the Outer Gate Manager of the Ye family, it is my duty to manage you slaves! You killed the stable manager Sha Tongtian without reason, which is a capital offense according to the Ye family's rules. By rights, you should be beaten to death on the spot! Are you not going to kneel down and beg for mercy? Perhaps I can spare your life!"

  His aura was as heavy as a mountain, and in his presence, Ye Xu felt like a small grass that was almost crushed to the point of being unable to lift its head.

  Ye Li's cultivation was terrifying, and Ye Xu even felt that his cultivation was several times deeper than his own in the past. He was indeed a master who had entered the Xiantian realm for decades!

  "Get down on your knees for me!"

  Ye Li's aura suddenly became even more intense, pressing down on Ye Xu's skeleton with a loud cracking sound. He didn't deign to use his hands against Ye Xu, but instead wanted to use his aura to force Ye Xu to kneel at his feet before executing him!

  A few days without seeing him, Ye Xu suddenly transformed from a useless waste with no strength to bind a chicken, into a master who could kill Sha Tongtian. This terrifying growth rate made Ye Li feel chilled to the bone.

  At this rate of growth, it's likely that in less than a year, Ye Xu will re-enter the Xiantian realm and become a Wu Shi!

  If Ye Xiu were to become a witch doctor, with his personality and methods, Ye Lai's ending would almost certainly be absolutely miserable!

  So he was murderous in his heart and didn't care about Su Jiao's admiration, but instead planned to take out Ye Xu immediately, eliminating this source of trouble!

  If it were in the past, Ye Li would not have dared to move a single hair on Ye Xu's head, but now Ye Xu is just a horse slave, and even if he were to be executed in the Ye Manor, no one would say anything, and perhaps many young masters of the imperial clan would even applaud!

  Ye Xue's body was filled with a madly rotating true energy, barely holding on, never falling. He coldly laughed and said: "Ye Li, have you forgotten that this is a horse farm? If you want to deal with me, you still need to ask the owner of the horse farm!"

  "What's wrong with Ma Sanbao?"

  Ye Li Ha Ha burst out laughing, his aura like a whirlpool, trapping Ye Xu tightly, coldly saying: "My qualifications are older than his, my generation is higher than his, I was granted the surname Ye by the Imperial Household Department's Grand Manager Ye Siyan, while Ma Sanbao is just a horse slave who became a Wu Shi through good luck, what qualifications does he have to speak in front of me?"

  At this time, a sudden hoarse voice came from behind him: "Ye Li, when did it become your turn to point fingers and draw pictures in my horse farm?"

  Ye's eyes turned cold and he turned his head to see Ma Sanbao standing behind him, his eyes chilly, clearly having overheard their conversation.

  Ma Sanbao said calmly: "In my horse farm, you have to follow the rules of Ma. Ye Li, although you are the general manager of the outer door, but you don't have the qualifications to interfere with my horse farm!"

  The leaves rustled without wind, his white hair fluttered, and his aura firmly locked onto Ma Sanbao. However, before his aura could even reach Ma Sanbao's side, it dissipated into nothingness. His heart skipped a beat as he realized the young man in green's true strength was unfathomable, and he himself was far from being a match for him!

  "Is the wizard really so powerful that even I couldn't fathom his depth?"

  His eyes were fixed on the leaves, wanting to become a wizard, he had to be under thirty years old, and his cultivation reached the realm of Wudang Xiantian, but when he became a master of Wudang Xiantian, he was already thirty-seven years old, so he couldn't become a wizard, leaving him with lifelong regret.

  Yue Li suddenly burst out laughing, his face cold and sinister. He stroked his sparse beard and said with a sly tone: "Master of the horse farm, I indeed overstepped my authority in this matter. But I'd like to see how you handle it! If you don't handle it properly, don't blame me for being nosy, I'll report to the Imperial Household Department's General Manager Yue!"

  "Do you want to use your imperial power to suppress me?"

  Ma Sanbao's eyes turned cold. Ye Lisi was a bonded servant of Ye Sixian, the General Manager of the Imperial Household Department. It was Ye Sixian who promoted him to become the General Manager of the Outer Gate.

  Ye Li's unspoken intention was that if Ye Xu wasn't dealt with, he would report back to Ye Siyan. Ye Siyan was also a witch doctor, with extremely high cultivation and great power within the Ye family, being one of the three major powers in the Ye estate!

  The Ye family is not a monolith, although Ye Si Dao is the highest authority in the Ye Manor, he is obsessed with cultivation and does not manage family affairs for most of the time. The power within the family is actually controlled by Second Uncle Ye Si Mian, Fourth Uncle Ye Si Zhe, and Thirteenth Uncle Ye Si Ran. These three people seem to be harmonious on the surface but are actually openly competing and secretly fighting for power and profit.

  This is nothing unusual in the Ye family, and Ye Xu has also heard about it.

  Ma Sanbao sneered and looked at Ye Xu, saying: "Seventh Master, you made the horse stable dirty, so you have to take responsibility for cleaning it up. This is Ma Mou's rule! Ye Li, are you satisfied with this disposal?"

  "Ma Sanbao, you..."

  Ye Li's face turned red with rage, his hands trembling with anger, and he couldn't speak for a long time. Suddenly, he turned around and left, coldly saying: "Ma Sanbao, I've walked more bridges than you've walked roads, you little yellow-haired brat dare to fight me? Just wait for the imperial court's punishment!"

  Ma Sanbao snorted, and Ye Xu felt a bit uneasy, cupping his hands in gratitude: "Thank you, Master Ma, for saving me. But since I offended the Imperial Household Department's General Manager Ye Siyan, I'm afraid..."

  Ma Sanbao's face was calm: "I am only responsible to the master of the house, not to the inner court. Besides, I did this not because of you, but because Ye Li that old dog ruined my rules, relying on his seniority and interfering with my horse farm!"

  Ma Sanbao sneered: "In my stable, you have to follow my rules! Seventh Master, you've dirtied the horse stall, aren't you going to clean it up? Are you also trying to ruin my rules?"

  Ye Xuan turned and walked into the stable, feeling quite moved. Ma Sanbao seemed aloof, every sentence revolving around the word "rules", being unfeeling to the point of being rigid, but in reality he was a cold-faced kind-hearted person, a friend worth befriending.

  Having a friend like this, you absolutely don't have to worry that he will stab you in the back, and instead he will even help you block the knife!

  Ye Xu's experiences over the past few days have been a rollercoaster ride, witnessing the warmth and coldness of human relationships, deeply understanding the preciousness of this friendship!

  Before he knew it, the day arrived at the end of the month to pay wages. Ye Xuan went to settle accounts and received three or four pieces of loose silver, while Su Jiao also received one or two pieces of silver.

  That little girl clutched the silver tightly, excitedly jumping up and down, circling around Ye Xu.

  Ye Xu couldn't help but tease, "Qiao Qiao, in the past when I casually gave you a few taels of silver, which time wasn't many times more than this, yet I've never seen you so happy."

  "That's different! Before it was Master giving me a reward, now it's Qiao Qiao earning it back with her own hands!"

  Su Jiaojiao's face turned bright red with excitement, her eyes shining brightly. Suddenly, she spun around and grabbed his hand, shaking it back and forth as she begged: "Young master, today is the annual Drumming Festival, why don't we go into town and take a stroll, okay?"

  Ye Xue saw the expectant look in her eyes, hesitated for a moment, and thought to himself that he used to focus on practicing martial arts and had never accompanied her before. Now that he was no longer a young master of the sect, he actually had more time.

  Moreover, Su Qiaoqiao has been working hard these days, not only focusing on practicing her martial arts, but also taking time out to do odd jobs at the horse farm to earn money, otherwise Ma Sanbao would not have given her a paycheck.

  This little girl has a shocking talent in martial arts, and now she has already cultivated the Xuanming True Qi to some extent. The true qi is already at the level of entering the room, and it won't be long before she will cultivate the first level of Xuanming True Qi. As for myself, I have also successfully entered the fourth level realm in these days, and I finally have some self-defense power.

  "Alright."

  Su Jiaojiao shouted and rushed out of the room: "I'm going to change clothes!"
