Mesmerizing Ghost Doctor - Chapter 4939: Face
At this moment, even if he hadn’t died, his injuries were so severe that he likely couldn’t fight anymore.
Though they knew he’d led them to the Yu family to trap them in danger, if he hadn’t done so, he wouldn’t have had even a sliver of hope.
People are selfish. At this moment, he didn’t even care about diverting the blame; he only hoped for a shred of chance to survive.
Behind him, the Patriarch Yu and the elders who followed heard that this man was someone the Old Predecessor knew. Their expressions shifted slightly.
This man had brought disaster upon their Yu family, plunging them into peril. Such a person cared only for his own survival, utterly disregarding the safety of others. Frankly, this kind of person was selfish and self-serving. Fresh chapters posted on novel·fıre·net
“Old Predecessor,” the middle-aged man stepped forward, calling out softly. Seeing him still supporting the old man, he added, “Old Predecessor, perhaps we should not involve ourselves in this matter?”
Old Predecessor Yu’s face darkened slightly, as if he hadn’t heard the words from behind him. Supporting Old Zeng, he looked at the four men, his aged voice low and resonant: “Who are you?” Why did you strike with lethal blows? What wrong did he commit against you that you must see him dead?”
“I don’t know them. I merely acquired a treasure at the auction on my way here, intending to congratulate you on your advancement. But these four men targeted me and pursued me all the way,” Old Zeng said weakly.
Hearing this, Old Predecessor Yu’s eyes flickered. After glancing at him, he turned to the four men across from them and said, “Gentlemen, do me a favor. Call it quits here, and I won’t pursue this matter further.” Old Predecessor Yu spoke, his gaze fixed on the group.
“Do you a favor? Who do you think you are? What favor could you possibly grant?” A middle-aged man sneered coldly. “We’ve decided to take his life today!” As the words left his mouth, the sharp blade in his hand shot forward, striking toward Old Zeng.
“Support him!” Old Predecessor Yu pushed the man toward those behind him for support. His own palm flickered, sending a palm wind whistling toward the middle-aged man.
Despite his fierce momentum, the middle-aged man was forced back by the strike, stumbling several meters before regaining his footing. His expression shifted, his eyes darkening with menace.
Seeing this, the other three men’s expressions shifted as well, their gazes growing heavier, all fixated on Old Predecessor Yu.
Old Predecessor Yu bowed his hands toward them. ” Gentlemen, I know not your origins, but today he is my guest. There is no way I would allow a guest to die before the gates of the Yu family. I ask you to please leave!”
“Are you Yu Chengzhi?” The old man narrowed his eyes, staring intently at Old Predecessor Yu as he asked.
Perhaps because he had spoken his name so directly, Old Predecessor Yu’s gaze flickered slightly. He bowed his hands and replied, “Indeed, it is this old man.”
Seeing this, he paused, looking at him and saying, “You’re protecting him out of righteousness, which is understandable. Since this man is your guest, I’ll give you face and not kill him at your doorstep. But once he steps outside your Yu family gates, if you dare to obstruct him again, don’t blame us for being impolite!”
“Go!”
The old man barked the command. As he turned to leave, the three men accompanying him swiftly departed as well. And so, a visible slaughter came to an end.
After seeing the man settled inside, Patriarch Yu stepped out. Spotting the figure waiting outside the courtyard, he walked over.
“Old Predecessor, I believe keeping him here is not advisable.”
