Chapter 273: Dominant Rich Man Gold
Yun Sheng looked at the time; it was only noon.
She had already learned from Uncle Yun that Tang Yu had been rescued.
Ye Beiming was as good as his word, having really rescued Tang Yu in just one night and half a day.
"Did you kill everyone at Blood Hand Ditch?" Yun Sheng was somewhat surprised when she first received the news.
She knew Ye Beiming's way of doing things, always acting alone or, at most, with only Cheng Bai or Bu Jiuxiao as his companions.
"Not a single one spared. And I've also found clues to the connection between Xuan Wuji and Blood Hand Ditch." Ye Beiming took out several letters, one of which clearly stated that Xuan Wuji commanded a high-level assassin from Blood Hand Ditch to cozy up to Xian Yu, and then to frame Tang Yu for the crime of rape while he was drunk.
The whole backstory of the incident was clearly laid out.
Moreover, in the letters, Xuan Wuji also set up a trap to connect Yun Cangxue with Blood Hand Ditch, which then used the fact that Tang Yu was exiled to kidnap and threaten.
Only now did the entire backstory of the affair come to light.
After reading the letters, a fierce expression emerged between Yun Sheng's brows.
In addition, Ye Beiming brought back all the records of those killed by Blood Hand Ditch over the years, as well as some of their superstitious rituals.
After reading these letters, the true face of Emperor Hong City behind Blood Hand Ditch was gradually revealed.
Yun Sheng clenched the letters tightly, anger surging in her heart. She was never a person given to slaughter, and being a physician, she was even more opposed to it.
Yet Emperor Hong City relentlessly cornered Yun Residence, causing Yun Canglang to suffer for many years, and this time, Yun Bahe's trial of strength was also a matter of life and death.
All of these were because of Xuan Wuji.
If Xuan Wuji were to escape this time, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Seeing Yun Sheng's brow furrowed, a killing intent surging over her delicate face gave off an unprecedented charming beauty.
Ye Beiming couldn't help but be moved by the sight.
"Thank you for this time," Yun Sheng raised her eyes, noticing Ye Beiming looking at her with a half-smiling gaze, and her face turned slightly red.
"Are you injured?" She noticed a shadow on Ye Beiming's arm, thinking he was injured and was about to check on him.
Who knew that Ye Beiming would grab her hand and quickly hide his arm behind his back, a flicker of panic in his eyes, "I am not injured, those people couldn't get to me. Xuan Wuji wasn't captured, what do you plan to do?"
Ye Beiming had already packed the heads of those from Blood Hand Ditch into a large chest and sent it to the Post Qin Embassy, creating a commotion no doubt.
But he was worried it might frighten Yun Sheng, so he didn't bring up the matter to her.
"A scourge that lasts a thousand years is best eliminated sooner to ease the mind," Yun Sheng carefully read the letter again.
In Xuan Wuji's letters, there were only some daily orders, but no mention of where that bottle of Demon Beast Amniotic Fluid Poison came from.
Although the Dark Crown Prince is a cruel and scheming person, he is not keen on using poisons, so it is unlikely the poison was his idea.
There must be other forces involved behind the scenes.
"Do you plan to kill Xuan Wuji yourself? With your current strength, I'm afraid it's not enough," Ye Beiming shook his head, not willing to let Yun Sheng face danger alone.
"I..." Yun Sheng was about to say she had Summoned Beasts to assist her when she heard Zhou Quan's loud voice, shouting as he walked in.
"Young Master Yun, I'm back!"
Upon hearing Zhou Quan's voice, Yun Sheng remembered that she had ordered Zhou Quan to take Rich Man Gold and travel to various Hunting Soldier Guard Cities to participate in combat competitions.
Three months was the agreed time, and then he would return.
Yet, four and a half months had passed, and Zhou Quan still had not returned, while Yun Sheng was too busy investigating the poison in Yun Bahe and the matters of the medical hall to even think about this.
Zhou Quan had come to earn his laurels.
He was taking the cloaked "stranger" with him, under orders to participate in competitions everywhere.
He only knew the stranger's name was "Rich Man Gold", that the gender was unknown, the origins were unknown, the age was unknown, and even the appearance was unknown.
Along the way, Zhou Quan tried to engage the stranger in conversation several times with great enthusiasm, but "Rich Man Gold" didn't respond to him at all.
This hurt Zhou Quan's feelings quite a bit. He vented about Rich Man Gold countless times to himself, and even suspected the fellow was mute.
He couldn't understand what Young Master Yun's intentions were in having him travel around with this "mute".
The first stop was Daoye Mountain Guard City; a place he had visited once before and was quite familiar with.
Because of the Great Zhou's Purple Gold Vein incident, the Sky Hunting Corps had risen rapidly in reputation within Great Zhou. The Hunting Corps' level had also jumped two grades from its initial E rank, becoming a B-ranked Hunting Corps.
Zhou Quan's journey was quite smooth.
The only thing that bothered Zhou Quan was that during the first few days, he was almost driven mad by "Rich Man Gold".
Yun Sheng simply said "Rich Man Gold" was a new Hunter Soldier she had recruited who didn't know anything, suggesting "it" participate more in combat to gain some practical experience.
Zhou Quan thought that Young Master Yun, with his perverse nature, would not recruit any weak Hunter Soldiers. He assumed it was just modest talk, and that "Rich Man Gold" must be quite strong in reality.
But Zhou Quan was incredibly wrong this time. "Rich Man Gold" was knocked away by an E-ranked Hunter Soldier as soon as the fight started.
The first match was a direct failure.
Over the following days, "Rich Man Gold" continued that pattern.
In the tournaments, "Rich Man Gold" seemed like a clueless child, getting knocked away every single time without exception right as the match started.
Those familiar with Zhou Quan all made fun of him, saying if such a Hunter Soldier could join the Sky Hunting Corps, then the corps must not be that great after all.
Zhou Quan was nearly suffocated with rage.
It wasn't until the tenth day, that Zhou Quan decided if "Rich Man Gold" couldn't win a single match again, he would simply take them back and hand them over to Young Master Yun.
He couldn't afford to lose that much face.
However, on that day of the competition, "Rich Man Gold" changed from the past state.
It was as if it had suddenly become enlightened, starting from the first match with a burst of good luck, winning streaks ensued.
Going from not knowing how to fight at all to an outburst of various Combat Skills and even some Magic.
From the tenth to the twentieth day, sweeping from an O points E-ranked Hunter Soldier to the C rank, a total of one hundred and eight consecutive wins.
The daily average winning rate was as high as one hundred percent.
The entire Daoye Mountain Hunting Soldier Guard City was in an uproar, and Zhou Quan was over the moon with joy.
Knowing that every Hunter Soldier has their little hobbies, Zhou Quan's hobby was gambling. He had previously placed numerous bets on "Rich Man Gold" and lost almost all of them.
But who would have known that in the following ten days, he would win all one hundred and eight matches, and after totaling it up, Zhou Quan had won more than ten thousand Imperial gold coins.
