Not long after, more than 20 members of the Qian family were escorted to the courtyard.

Fortunately, the Qian family had just taken back their property and had not yet had time to purchase servants and maids, otherwise more people would have been taken away.

Qian Yuming and his wife hugged each other and huddled in a corner of the courtyard, just crying and begging for mercy. But Nangong Lian ignored them and sneered at Zhao Ling'an and nodded slightly.

"kill."

"As commanded!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a dozen Cuiyougu disciples, headed by Zhao Lingan, held two swords and forced themselves towards the trembling Qian clan members.

"Wait a minute!!"

At this time, a Cuiyougu disciple who was about twenty years old suddenly rushed into the courtyard and stood in front of Zhao Lingan and others.

I saw that this man was tall and tall, with a handsome face and eyes as clear as springs. He was wearing the sect's usual green gown, and on his waist hung a double-pronged sword with the same sheath.

But what is different from the plain-colored scabbards of other disciples is that its scabbard is wrapped in animal skin dyed dark green, and the whole body is hot-stamped with flying flower thousand leaf patterns, which seems to show that this person's identity is different from ordinary disciples.

This person is none other than Nangong Lian's close disciple, Ye Jinglan.

The first person to come up with a reputation in Cuiyou Valley is Zhao Lingan.

But he, Ye Jinglan, is like a secret treasure of the sect, but he is the real leader of Cuiyou Valley. He can even be called the first person to rise from the four famous sects.

His personality is somewhat withdrawn, he likes to be quiet, and rarely walks around in the world, so he has not gained any reputation in the world. Even so, no one in the Cuiyou Valley knows that his talent is astonishing, so much so that his cultivation many years ago was not enough.

He has surpassed his master. If he is willing to wander around in the world, I am afraid that the former Jingfeng swordsman Nie Yunfei will look dim in front of him.

Zhao Lingan frowned and stared at Ye Jinglan who was blocking him, with a look of displeasure on his face: "Junior brother Ye, this is the master's order, why did you stop him?"

Ye Jinglan bowed politely to Zhao Lingan, and said in a calm tone: "Please don't blame me for delaying Senior Brother Zhao. Junior Brother, I want to say a few words to the Master Master, and I beg Senior Brother not to make any move first."

.”

"Hey." Zhao Lingan rolled his eyes, glanced away and said nothing, with an angry look on his face.

Nangong Lian looked at his beloved disciple with a smile and asked, "Jinglan, if you have something to say, just say it."

Ye Jinglan bowed deeply to Nangong Lian again and said: "Master, please forgive me for speaking frankly. It is not appropriate to kill this Qian's family."

Nangong Lian's face darkened: "You know Jinglan. My master has been brooding over this matter for many years, and it can be regarded as an honest and just pursuit of revenge. What's wrong with it?"

Ye Jinglan glanced at Qian Yuming and his wife who were shivering, and replied respectfully: "Yes, if this matter had happened to my disciple, he would have been furious. But our Cuiyou Valley is one of the four famous sects in the world.

First, unlike other small sects, we naturally have to be more generous in our actions so as not to lose our dignity."

"Oh? What do you mean, you want to give up being a teacher?"

Ye Jinglan shook his head: "My disciple is well aware of the depth of Master's hatred, and I dare not advise you to give up. Not to mention that the Qian family hates you for taking your wife. I only say that Master's father learned that Huang Ying had escaped from marriage.

Later, when he became short of breath and died of illness, these two people should be killed."

Nangong Lian gritted his teeth when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "If you are ready to be killed, why do you say anything more?"

Ye Jinglan laughed and said: "It is indeed satisfying to exterminate someone's family, but if this matter spreads out, it will not be heard, and it will damage the reputation of our Cuiyou Valley. I boldly ask the master to let everyone in the Qian family go and only kill him."

Those two are the two of you. In this way, you can win the reputation of generosity without losing the majesty of our green valley. Master, please think again."

Nangong Lian laughed bitterly when he heard this, stroking his beard and shaking his head: "You, you, are always so kind-hearted, but you really failed to live up to your amazing talent, ugh!"

After a long silence, Nangong Lian waved his hand: "That's it! Just kill them as you said."

"Master is enlightened!"

Nangong Lian raised the corner of his mouth: "Don't be too hasty to be happy. I need to take this opportunity to change your Bodhisattva heart. Otherwise, how will you be able to carry the banner of Cuiyou Valley in the future?"

Ye Jinglan was startled when he heard this, and asked in confusion: "My disciple is stupid and has not understood the master's meaning."

Nangong Lian raised his hand and pointed at Qian Yuming and his wife, and said coldly: "You are my master's most proud disciple, so it is up to you to finish them off for my master."

"This..." Ye Jinglan broke into a cold sweat.

Nangong Lian's face darkened: "Why don't you go quickly?"

"Yes, yes." Ye Jinglan walked towards Qian Yuming and his wife hesitantly, "Disciple... dare not disobey the teacher's orders."

At this time, Zhao Ling sneered and said: "Killing two people will make you nervous. If the sect is handed over to you from now on, our Cuiyou Valley will probably turn into Cuiyou Temple! In addition to not killing, we must also recite sutras."

"

As soon as these words came out, all the disciples covered their mouths and snickered.

Ye Jinglan actually had a good temper. When faced with the ridicule, he just smiled wryly and nodded in response, showing no trace of anger.

"Why don't you do it quickly?" Nangong Lian urged.

"Ah...yes, yes."

Ye Jinglan reluctantly pulled out his sword and looked at Qian Yuming and his wife anxiously.

When Qian Yuming saw this, he immediately fell to the ground, kowtowed to Ye Jinglan and said, "Thank you so much for your kind words, young hero. I can save the lives of our clan members. We and my wife are very satisfied! Young hero, you don't have to do that."

I blame myself, I just need to take action quickly. If the two of us know something, we should be grateful for your great kindness!!"

"Ah...Okay." Ye Jinglan swallowed, glanced at Nangong Lian, and slowly raised the long sword in his hand.

Qian Yuming and his wife closed their eyes, gritted their teeth, and nodded silently, signaling Ye Jinglan to take action quickly.

"I'm... offended."

After he finished speaking, the long sword pierced Qian Yuming's chest!

But the tip of the sword stopped three inches from his chest.

It didn't penetrate.

"Haha...Master..." Ye Jinglan turned around with a sneer on his face, "My disciple suddenly came up with a good idea, why not..."

"Hurry up and do it!!" Nangong Lian was furious, "How can we achieve great things if we are only obedient!!"

Ye Jinglan was so frightened by this scolding that his whole body trembled.

Although his face turned pale with fright, he hesitated for a long time and finally slowly put away his sword.

"I beg your pardon...disciple for disobeying me."

"Huh?" Nangong Lian was shocked when he heard this.

In his impression, Ye Jinglan had listened to everything he said and obeyed him since he was a child.

This can be regarded as the first time he disobeyed orders.

Before Nangong Lian could recover from his surprise, Ye Jinglan raised his hands and shouted: "Master, if you can obey my disciple this time, my disciple... I will no longer be dormant, and I will take the initiative to go out for walks in the future.

Share everything for the sect!"

"Oh?" Nangong Lian raised his brows, and his shock suddenly turned into joy, "You have such a weird temper, I almost had to put a sword on your neck this time to force you to follow me. If I were

Now that my master is relying on you, are you really willing to take the initiative to share everything for the sect from now on?"

Ye Jinglan took a deep breath and nodded: "Yes!"

"Okay!!" Nangong Lian couldn't help but roared, "Then tell me, how do you want to deal with these two people?"

Ye Jinglan bared his teeth and smiled: "Otherwise, forget it."

"Nonsense! If we don't let the two of them pay some price, how can we be willing to be teachers!?"

"Master, please calm down. Master, please calm down." Ye Jinglan bowed repeatedly, with sincerity and fear, "How about... ordering them to guard your father's grave for the rest of their lives?"

"Is this..." Nangong Lian frowned and paced back and forth, "It's not impossible."

Ye Jinglan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this and hurriedly bowed: "Thank you, Master!"

"However, we have to pick on the two of them and become useless before they go to guard the grave of my late father." Nangong Lian said again.

"this……"

Nangong Lian said solemnly: "There is no need to discuss! This is the last concession for my master!"

Ye Jinglan sighed softly, lowered his head and said, "Yes. I will take action now."

"very good."

As he said this, Nangong Lian turned over and got on the horse.

"After you have deposed them both, you personally take them back to my late father's grave in the back mountain of Cuiyou Valley. This place is not far from Luoxiatan. I will stop by to pay a visit to Master Leng."

Ye Jinglan hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Disciple, please obey the master's orders!! Respectfully send me off to the master!!"

Nangong Lian nodded with satisfaction, casually summoned a few disciples to follow, and left with a whip.

After he walked away, Zhao Lingan's face was immediately filled with a bad smile.

"Junior Brother Ye, what are you waiting for? Kill them both quickly, so we can get on the road as soon as possible."

"Ah good."

Ye Jinglan pulled out the long sword again and put the trembling tip of the sword against Qian Yuming's ankle.

"Thank you, young hero, for saving me again and again!" Qian Yuming burst into tears.

Ye Jinglan glanced at Zhao Ling'an and whispered: "Don't panic, I won't really pick on your hamstrings. I just casually made a shallow cut on your ankles, and you just show off and cooperate."
