24: His surname is Yang now.

Yang Yi fell into silence.

If the other party had aggressively tried to keep him there, or attacked him directly, or cursed at him, Yang Yi would have been able to handle it.

But now, the other party was being polite and treating him with courtesy. This put Yang Yi in a difficult position.

If someone wants to treat you as a friend, but you slap them in the face instead, that is not Yang Yi's style of doing things.

Seeing Yang Yi hesitate, Zhong Yueshan smiled and said, "As long as my son's ear is reattached, everything from before will be wiped clean. I will absolutely not make things difficult for you. As for this fan, you may like it, but it's not yours. Even if you take it away, you won't feel at ease."

"I feel at ease." With just one sentence, Yang Yi left Zhong Yueshan speechless.

Everyone else was even more dumbfounded. He was just too shameless. To take someone else's item and still be so righteous about it.

Zhong Yueshan stopped the young man beside him from cursing. After a moment of silence, he said, "Let's not talk about the fan for now. Let's talk about what I just said. Do you think it's feasible?"

"It's feasible." At this point, Yang Yi looked coldly at the Divine Doctor. "Divine Doctor, go save him. You have one hour to reattach his ear. For every minute over, I will take one of your ears. For two minutes over, I will take both your ears. For three minutes over, I will take an extra finger."

The Divine Doctor gritted his teeth, his eyes burning with hatred. He strode over to the young man. "Where is the ear?"

The young man took out an exquisite little ink box and opened it. The bloody ear was inside.

He was truly worthy of being called a Divine Doctor. He took out a silver needle threaded with white thread. Under the astonished gazes of everyone, he sewed the ear onto the young man's head. It was sewn perfectly. If you didn't look at the stitches, the young man's ear seemed to have no issues at all.

Afterward, he took a bottle of ointment from his bosom and handed it to the young man. "Apply this three times a day, morning, noon, and night. It will be completely healed in a month." Having said that, he took the initiative to return to Yang Yi's side.

Yang Yi cupped his hands in a salute, his tone less arrogant than before. "If you truly do not make things difficult for me, consider it that I owe Dragon Tiger City a favor. If you need help in the future, I will certainly assist." Leaving those words behind, Yang Yi grabbed the Divine Doctor and walked toward the city gates.

The people behind Zhong Yueshan were all furious and wanted to chase after Yang Yi. "Forget it," Zhong Yueshan said, stopping them. "This person's skills are extraordinary. We don't need to make an enemy of him."

The others didn't have too much of a reaction, but the two who lost their fan and precious sword looked very unwilling. One had his ear cut off by Yang Yi, and the other had his fan snatched by Yang Yi. Having lost their most cherished possessions, how could they just let Yang Yi leave like that?

Zhong Yueshan knew what they were thinking. He stared at them intensely and warned, "The two of you must absolutely not provoke him. Otherwise..." He paused for a moment, looking first at his son. "Otherwise, it won't be as simple as just losing an ear. And it won't be as simple as just losing a fan for you."

"Then what about my fan?" The young man's heart ached whenever he thought of the fan.

Zhong Yueshan smiled faintly. "Didn't you hear him? He owes us a favor. If all else fails, we'll use that favor to make him return the fan to you. Don't worry too much."

With those words from Zhong Yueshan, the young man felt much better and didn't plan to cause trouble for Yang Yi anymore. However, Zhong Yueshan's son was still brooding. His eyes narrowed into slits, like two curved blades, as he calculated how to regain the face he lost today.

Zhong Yueshan knew his son's character well. After pondering for a moment, he simply had his son locked up.

The Yang family members were anxiously waiting for Yang Yi's return. Firstly, the two children's injuries were getting worse; if he didn't return soon, they might be in danger of losing their lives. Secondly, Yang Ming had led the Yang family members, intending to wipe out the leaders of several small factions within Tian Yuan City. However, the operation was very unsuccessful. They fell into a trap and suffered losses. Left with no choice, Yang Ming could only lead the Yang family members to defend the Yang family estate.

The leaders of the small factions learned that Yang Yi was out and wouldn't be back for a while. After discussing it, they led their men to surround the Yang family estate completely, intending to destroy the Yang family before Yang Yi returned.

At this moment, the battle had reached a fever pitch. Fortunately, the strength of the small faction leaders was not high, and their subordinates were not strong either, so the Yang family could still contend with them. If they were any stronger, the Yang family would likely have already been razed to the ground.

"Lai Wusheng, you have a lot of nerve. Are you not afraid that Yang Yi will return and exterminate your nine generations?" Yang Ming had no other options now and could only use Yang Yi to pressure the other party.

But Lai Wusheng was not afraid at all. He was determined to destroy the Yang family. "You don't need to worry about my nine generations. You should worry about your own Yang family's nine generations instead. Today, I will absolutely eradicate the Yang family, root and branch."

While speaking, he gritted his teeth as if he had a deep hatred for the Yang family. In reality, he had no grudge against the Yang family; it was nothing more than being driven by profit.

"My Yang family is not to be slaughtered at will. It is not yet certain who will destroy whom."

Lai Wusheng chuckled, not bothering to talk anymore. He waved his hand and roared, "Brothers! Kill! I want to leave not a single blade of grass growing in the Yang family estate!"

"Just you?" From not far away, a cold sneer suddenly rang out. The people who were preparing to attack the Yang family stopped one after another. Many turned around and gasped. The man they feared the most had returned.

Some people ran away as soon as they saw Yang Yi, while others were stunned on the spot. The moment Lai Wusheng turned around and saw Yang Yi, his body went numb. His lips trembled, and the blade in his hand was shaking slightly.

Seeing Yang Yi return, the Yang family members wept with joy and shouted loudly, "Family Head! Family Head, you have finally returned! If you hadn't come back, the Yang family would have been destroyed by them."

Hearing the Yang family members crying and complaining there, Yang Yi swept a cold gaze across them. For a moment, the scene was deathly silent.

"A bunch of useless trash. A few nobodies from Tian Yuan City, and they have left you helpless?" While speaking, he looked at Yang Ming, feeling very dissatisfied. Before leaving, he had specifically asked Yang Ming if he could handle this matter. What had Yang Ming said at the time? He had promised confidently, "Leave it to me." But if he had returned even half an hour later, the Yang family would likely have been completely slaughtered.
