Chapter 216: Ingratitude is a Family Tradition
At noon, the scorching sun in the sky made all living things on earth wilt.
The woods about twenty or thirty miles south of Jiangyun City were bustling with activity at this moment.
"You bastard, let my little sister go!"
The young man, with scratches all over his body, pointed his sword at the person opposite him and shouted orders.
Hearing what he said, the man in the patchwork robe couldn't help laughing, "You guys were the ones who provoked me first, why do you act like I've done something unforgivable now?"
"Are all of you so-called righteous knights so shameless?"
"You can kill me, but I can't kill you?"
The crisp questioning voice only made the young men opposite him more disgusted with her.
"A demon like you who has killed countless people deserves to be cut into pieces. Killing you is only natural." The young man with a knife roared.
As soon as these words were spoken, the man holding the girl hostage tightened his hand around her neck, and with his other hand, his index finger was wrapped around her long hair, his bright red nails standing out.
"Well, being cut into pieces is indeed interesting. I was too gentle in the past and always skinned people cleanly. The method you mentioned is indeed good."
After saying that, he slowly moved the hand that was pinching the girl's neck upwards, restraining her jaw, and put his delicate face that was even more beautiful than the girl's on her face, looking at the people opposite who were furious and said: "How about, let's try it with your precious sister?"
"you dare?"
"Why don't I dare?"
The quarrel between the two sides seemed particularly loud in the quiet woods and soon attracted the attention of a group of people not far away.
"This voice sounds familiar, Gan Lin, go over and take a look!"
Jiang Si lifted the carriage curtain and gave instructions to Gan Lin who was driving the coach.
After receiving Jiang Si's instructions, Gan Lin immediately drove the carriage towards the direction where the sound came from.
Jiang Si lowered the car curtain and sat back in the car, looking across at Fan Tong whose face had turned pale again, with a look of disgust.
"I'm telling you, you're the typical person who has to endure hardship. I told you to be put into the space, but you refused and insisted on enduring this suffering."
Hearing Jiang Si's words, Fan Tong straightened up and sat upright, trying to make himself look more energetic, "I'm fine, I can hold on."
"Okay, whatever you want." Seeing his stubborn look, Jiang Si rolled her eyes and ignored him.
The noise of carriages and horses moving through the woods was quite loud, and as soon as the team approached, it immediately aroused the vigilance of the two groups fighting against each other.
They are not fools. If they come to me at this time, they must be very strong.
When the carriage stopped, Jiang Si opened the curtain and saw several people outside, a smile suddenly bloomed on her face.
"Wow, what a coincidence, what are you guys playing, do you mind if I join you?"
The moment she saw that beautiful face, Mao Yixin kept shrinking behind Xiao Yuan.
When the Xiao family members saw Jiang Si appear, they immediately felt uneasy. They didn't expect that she would catch up with them so quickly.
"What a coincidence! Where are you going, sister?"
Lin Meiniang, who was holding Xiao Wanwan hostage, saw Jiang Si and showed an undisguised smile in her eyes.
Jiang Si's sight was successfully drawn to him. Looking at the familiar face who had fainted in Lin Meiniang's arms, Jiang Si couldn't help but ask curiously, "What are you guys up to?"
Hearing what Jiang Si said, Lin Meiniang sighed and said with some resentment: "You have to ask them about this. They attacked me for no reason, and when they couldn't beat me, they called me a bad person. I am also very wronged, okay?"
"Well, it is indeed quite unfair to put it that way." Jiang Si agreed.
"That's right!" Lin Meiniang replied immediately, feeling as if she had met a close friend.
Jiang Si's gaze then turned to the Xiao brothers opposite, or more precisely, to the eldest and second young masters of the Xiao family.
Seeing Jiang Si looking in their direction, the eldest son Xiao Yuan and the second son Xiao Bo both lowered their heads guiltily, not daring to meet her gaze.
But Jiang Si won't let them go so easily.
"No matter what I said before, I have saved your brothers' lives. The two captives who kidnapped me, do you think I am easy to talk to, or do you think my life is too long?"
As soon as Jiang Si's threatening words came out, the faces of the Xiao brothers, who were already in a difficult situation, changed drastically.
Originally, the young master of Xindiefang had a good relationship with Lin Meiniang. If it was before, she would definitely not interfere in the dispute between them, but now they have rescued Mao Yixin from her hands, and this time she is obviously here to cause trouble for them.
"Oh, sister, you saved them. You can only blame yourself for your bad luck. This is ungratefulness, but it is inherited from their Xiao family and engraved in their bones."
Lin Meiniang echoed and said something extremely sarcastic.
The word "ungrateful" made Jiang Si and Fan Tong hear other meanings.
Given Lin Meiniang's character, she would naturally not make up stories. It seems that the reason behind his brutal treatment of Miss Xiao was not simple!
"What nonsense are you talking about? Our Xiao family is a centuries-old family and would never do such a despicable thing?" When the Fifth Young Master Xiao Cheng heard their slanderous words, he immediately retorted.
"Oh, you even know that this is a despicable thing!" Jiang Si's gaze fell on Mao Yixin, with a sarcastic smile on her face.
Xiao Cheng followed Jiang Si's gaze, and the moment he saw Mao Yixin, he felt embarrassed and irritated, but he quickly found a reason to refute.
"Sister Yixin is a good person. Not only did you imprison her, but you also had a close relationship with a demon like Lin Meiniang who everyone wants to kill. You are not a good person either."
"Oh, I'm really not a good person!"
Jiang Si admitted it so readily that the Xiao brothers were stunned for a moment.
"But I'm not a good person. What does it have to do with you taking my prisoners?"
"Or, in your eyes, I am not a good person, so you can do such despicable things without restraint?"
Jiang Si's questioning was clear and powerful, completely tearing off their fig leaf.
"We have paid the girl a lot of gold and silver, so we are even now, right?" Xiao Bo also stood up at this time. He couldn't stand Jiang Si talking about favors all the time. She had clearly accepted a lot of gold and silver from them, but she still had the nerve to say that she was doing them a favor. Wasn't it her duty to do things for money?
"How dare you say that? The ones chasing after your Xiao family are Faceless. Don't tell me you haven't heard of these killers. Tell me, how many of you would save someone from Faceless for money?"
Gan Lin really couldn't bear to listen any longer. Although his young master didn't say it, he knew that the young master did this clearly to save them. Lin Meiniang was right, these were just a bunch of ungrateful people.
After hearing Gan Lin's explanation, Jiang Si frowned slightly, patted his shoulder and said, "Don't make me sound so noble, your young master. I really did it for the money."
