Chapter 157 Why Should I Recognize You as My Lord

"You..." Yang Xiaotao looked up at Ye Qiongying, puzzled, "Why are you..."

Didn’t you just disagree to any of the conditions?

Why did he suddenly return the dagger to her now?

Ye Qiongying smiled:

"You should keep the money for yourself! As for the dagger, I will return it to its original owner. Although it is a trophy, I used too much force just now and hurt your wrist. This is my compensation to you."

Yang Xiaotao stared at Ye Qiongying for a while before saying:

"You're really weird. But... okay, I'll accept this compensation."

She put the dagger away, and did not throw away the cloth wrapped around it. Instead, she folded it up and stuffed it into her clothes.

After doing all this, he said to Ye Qiongying:

“You are very skilled, your reactions are quick, and your strength is great. There are very few women who can match your strength.

But you are not cruel enough. If I were you, I would have already... Ouch!"

Before she could finish her words, she covered her head and cried out.

Hong Xiu came out from behind her and retracted the finger that was tapping her head:

"You little girl, the girl knows you are one of her own, so she is holding back and not wanting to hurt you, but you are taking it too seriously. Would you be happy if I really poked a bloody hole in your head?"

Yang Xiaotao covered her forehead and said unconvincedly:

"My grandma said that you have to use all your strength when you strike, and you can't look back and forth or think too much. I'm teaching you this, girl!"

"Hahahahahaha!" A burst of laughter suddenly came from the other side, and then many people walked out of the room on the other side.

The few people in the lead are already quite old, and those behind them are either middle-aged or still teenagers like Yang Xiaotao.

"Xiao Taozi, is your grandma okay?" the old man walking in front asked Yang Xiaotao.

"Seventh Grandfather?" Yang Xiaotao ran over to him as soon as she saw him. "You're here too? Grandma is in good health. It was just rainy a few days ago and the pain in her legs came back. It was inconvenient for her to travel, so she asked me to do it for her. After all, I'm her successor! From now on, I'll do the work that the master tells me to do."

While they were talking, Uncle Ye had already arrived at Ye Qiongying's side. He checked her carefully and was relieved to see that she did not have any injuries on her body.

Then, before the other party finished reminiscing about the past, he started talking:

"Are you a girl from the Yang family? Now that you have joined this team, you should know the importance of this!

How could you hold a knife against a girl?

If the girl makes any mistake, can you bear the responsibility? ! "

Yang Xiaotao was stunned at first when he pointed at her. Then, she snorted and said:

"You are so unreasonable, old man! I didn't kill you, did I? But it's just a little exchange, what's the big deal.

What's wrong with the Ye family? Is the master so delicate that he can't be touched? Do we deserve to fight for their family and die?

My grandmother is very loyal, but they are old and have old-fashioned ideas. Once they have chosen their master, they are unwilling to change.

I'm different.

I, Yang Xiaotao, have learned all these skills, but not everyone can ask me to call me master. Why should I let you order me around?

Of course I have to give it a try to see how capable this so-called heir of the Ye family is and whether she is worth my life for."

When Uncle Ye heard this, his brows furrowed.

The key point is that among the group of people over there, many young people have the same expression. Obviously, they agree with Yang Xiaotao's idea, but they are more restrained in their actions and will not really put it into practice like Yang Xiaotao.

Yang Xiaotao hadn't finished her words yet:

"My grandmother and her companions risked their lives for the Ye family, but after what happened three years ago, where is the Ye family? Nothing!

Grandma and her family had to flee in all directions, being careful of being hunted down while trying to make money to support themselves. It was already very difficult for them to survive until now, and they also had to train their offspring to continue to work for the Ye family. Seventh Grandpa's grandson even died three years ago.

But has the Ye family ever thought about us?

Apart from the time when you need us now, have you ever helped us in the past three years?

Well, we also know that all the Erlangs of the Ye family died on the front line, and the family was huddled together. Information was lost in the process, and they might not be aware of our existence.

It is not easy for the girl to support the Ye family alone.

We understand.

But now, we can't even make a move to test it out?

I was just testing my skills, I didn't even think of taking the opportunity to stab him a few times to vent the anger I've accumulated over the past few years!"

After these words were spoken, the room became much quieter.

The expression on Uncle Ye's face changed.

These three years were certainly not easy.

The Ye family underwent a huge change, and he was in the middle of it. He felt deeply saddened, and his hair turned white overnight.

Although these people were scattered outside at the beginning, since the enemy was able to set a trap to kill General Ye and others and almost wipe out the core forces, it can be imagined that they have some understanding of the situation of the Ye family.

How could they let them off so easily?

Fortunately, most people remain loyal.

But some of them are older and in worse health, and can no longer hold on. The younger generations they have trained are more flexible in their minds and have their own ideas. They may not be as loyal to the Ye family as their elders.

The fact that I didn't rebel directly was the result of the education I received from my elders.

The old man called Seventh Grandpa frowned when he heard what Yang Xiaotao said, and his kind voice suddenly became cold and hard:

"Yang Xiaotao!"

Upon hearing this voice, Yang Xiaotao, who had just straightened her chest and spoke in a loud voice, trembled and felt guilty.

"Yang Xiaotao!"

Grandpa Qi pounded his cane angrily.

"What nonsense are you talking about! It's so outrageous! If you don't know the inside story, don't make assumptions! For us, the Ye family gave us a second life, and it was the Ye family that gave us our skills, freedom, and the goal to live. We followed the Ye family voluntarily! Whether it was me, your grandmother, or my grandson who has passed away! The past is too heavy, and we don't want to mention it to you, but it is not a reason for you to criticize the Ye family! Where do you think your skills that you think are superior to others came from? Where do you think the money your grandmother has been able to take out from time to time to support her life in the past three years came from? Without the Ye family, we are nothing!"

Hong Xiu also spoke:

"Xiao Tao, you are still too young and don't understand many things.

Besides, the girl really doesn't know this, and Big Brother Ye didn't know that such an accident would happen. The fewer people know about your existence, the better, so...

But the necessary retreat paths have already been prepared for you, but most seniors are reluctant to use too much of them, lest they be noticed, which makes them look a little shabby.”
