"Childe Xu, so you have your heart set on saving this woman?" Ma Yi asked in a serious tone.
"What the hell! Will you stand by if your own sister is gonna to be carried off?" Wandong yelled rampantly.
"But she..."Ma Yi stammered.
Wandong struck in, "Stop mincing words! Told you I'm in on it now. Relay my message to Han Shiqi. Tell him to come and propose a marriage at the Palace of Dingshan if he has the balls. Bet him will end up amputated by my grandpa."
"Childe Xu, we are humiliated by your insistence on that," Ma Yi pleaded.
"Nonsense! You wouldn't become so notorious if you had really cared about your reputation. Old dog, I'm fed up with your nonsense. Just give it to me straight. Will you satisfy my requirement or not?" Wandong said in an incisive and sarcastic tone.
Embittered by Wandong to the utmost, Ma Yi almost spat out blood, feeling extremely depressed. As a matter of fact, he hadn't expected Wandong and the uncalled-for trouble he brought along. The gratuitous twists and turns not only put a man for sacrifice to death but also caused an offence against the Duke of Dingshan. Ma Yi found all the sacrifices rather wasteful.
"Well…Childe Xu, to be honest with you, I'm merely running errands for our Chief Xu. Hence it's not up to me to decide. What do you say I pop back to report this matter to Chief Xu? Bet he will satisfy your requirement," Ma Yi said.
"Fine! Go and tell Han Shiqi that I'm waiting for his response. And I suggest him purging the Qinglong Gang. Otherwise, your guys will soon come at the end of your rope," Wandong added.
Ma Yi responded with a smile, "We come this far by virtue of our capacity. Nevertheless, I do appreciate your concern."
"Heh. I picked up on your implication that I am nothing but a mouther," Wandong said in an ironic tone.
"Please don't get me wrong. I didn't mean that. Childe Xu, don't take it too hard. Excuse me," Ma Yi responded. Then he swung his arms and walked out of the store with his underlings.
"You shouldn't let them get around with that. Ma Yi was the most loathsome among the Qinglong bastards. I learnt that he once hacked a kid to death in the street just because the kid stared at him. But the story was not quite completed, he went on with serial kills of the kid's whole family just because he felt that he hadn't worked off his anger. A monster like that should have been sliced to death," Leng Yuecui said, gritting her teeth.
Wandong had long seen Ma Yi through. However, he could only let go of Ma Yi for the time being, as his martial competency didn't suffice to help him bring Ma Yi to justice. Moreover, the integration of the Qinglong disciples was not to be sneezed at, either. It would be advisable to stick to an appeasement policy, especially when the Qingyun Empire was at a critical juncture. Hence Wandong didn't indulge himself too much in unwise uprightness.
Nevertheless, Wandong wouldn't let the Qinglong Gang persist in their vicious way. He was biding his time to wipe them out once and for all.
