Chapter 713: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 713: Intimidation and Mo Qingze's Arrest (2)
After speaking, Old Mo and Mo Yongfu lifted the wooden door and prepared to leave the Mo family.
"Hold on!"
At that moment, a voice colder than ice echoed in everyone's ears, causing the crowd to shiver and stop in their tracks. They turned to the source of the voice and found themselves staring into a pair of deep, cold black eyes.
Xiao Ruiyuan looked at the stunned Old Mo family with a gaze as cold as death itself. He had initially thought this was just a typical neighborhood dispute that Yan'er could handle on her own. However, he didn't expect this family to harbor thoughts of revenge. Even if Yan'er wasn't afraid, he would not tolerate it.
The cold voice rang out again, "What do you mean by being unjust to the Mo family? Speak!"
Old Mo stared in shock at the owner of the voice. Unconsciously, he loosened his grip on the door, causing it to fall to the ground with a thud, along with the immobilized Hong shi. She rolled off the door, and Mo Yongfu tried to catch her but was too late.
The onlookers stared at Xiao Ruiyuan, puzzled as to why this nobleman from the capital would stand up for the Mo family, especially when even Young Master Yan, who had close ties with the Mo family, had not intervened.
Yan Junyu wasn't unwilling to act; he simply preferred to work in the shadows, allowing those he schemed against to suffer greatly while they frantically searched for the mastermind. He would stand in plain sight, watching them struggle, relishing the experience.
Dealing with a few ordinary villagers was no trouble for him, but he was already mentally planning how to deal with them later. He didn't expect someone else to steal the spotlight.
Having his moment stolen, especially in front of a woman, left Yan Junyu feeling quite displeased. He glared at Xiao Ruiyuan’s back, wishing he could bore a hole through it.
Chu Heng also looked at his cousin with resignation. Ruiyuan could have let the Mo family handle this on their own, but he chose to step in. Had he forgotten that the woman he liked wasn’t a weakling confined to the inner chambers?
Even Mo Yan herself hadn't expected Xiao Ruiyuan to stand up for her family. Seeing his expressionless, icy face, her heart felt warm, and her eyes revealed a soft, girlish affection.
Though she wasn't afraid of Old Mo’s threats and had already thought of a way to deal with him once and for all, what woman wouldn't want to be protected by the man she liked? She was no exception!
Seeing that Old Mo was too frightened to speak, Xiao Ruiyuan wasn’t about to let him off the hook. He spoke again, his voice now laced with a hint of killing intent, "Speak—"
Old Mo, no matter how bold he might be, was just an ordinary farmer. His earlier threats were fierce, but he was no match for Xiao Ruiyuan, a battle-hardened warrior exuding an aura of death.
It seemed as if those sharp eyes would pierce his throat at any moment. Old Mo swallowed hard and stammered, "N-no... no injustice... I-I didn’t mean it..."
A bloodthirsty gleam flashed in Xiao Ruiyuan’s eyes as he spoke, his voice like it came from the depths of an icy cavern, "You better remember what you just said, or this—will be your fate!"
With that, he drew the sword from his waist and stabbed the thick wooden door lying on the ground.
There was a dull thud, and though it seemed like a light strike, the sturdy door was hit with such force that wood chips flew everywhere. The solid door instantly shattered into fine pieces!
Those skilled in martial arts understood that only a master with deep internal strength could inject their power into the blade and, through the tip of the sword, instantly shatter a solid door into fragments.
