The Peak of Alchemy & Martial

C24 – Yun Haoyan’s Overbearing Attitude!

Yun Haoyan wouldn’t dream of using his hands; he felt it would sully them. So, he resorted to his feet throughout, aiming deliberate kicks at their faces. As a result, every servant of the Bian family sported a swollen visage.

Standing tall, Yun Haoyan dusted off his hands as the Bian family’s servants lay defeated on the ground. The young mistress of the Bian family stared at him, her eyes wide with shock and fury.

“Sister, take a good look at them. I’ve avenged you,” Yun Haoyan said, turning to Yun Tiantian.

Yun Tiantian surveyed the Bian family members, noting their puffy faces. The servants, in particular, had it worst, with teeth knocked out and now scattered across the floor as they desperately searched for them.

The pitiful sight of the Bian family drew a laugh from Yun Tiantian, and soon, the gathered crowd joined in with their own chuckles.

“Haha…”

“Just look at the Bian family’s Miss. She wasn’t much to look at before, but now, with her face all swollen like a pig’s, she’s downright hideous. If I had a daughter that ugly, I’d never let her leave the house.”

“And those servants, acting all tough before. Now look at them, sprawled on the ground. Turns out they’re the type to bully the weak and cower before the strong.”

“…”

The young mistress of the Bian family, unaccustomed to such ridicule, pointed accusingly at the onlookers and shouted,

“You’ll all regret this! The Bian family won’t let you get away with it!”

Her threat hung in the air, and the onlookers snapped to their senses. Despite the Bian family’s current state, they were a formidable clan not to be trifled with.

“Run…” At the cry, the crowd dispersed in an instant.

The young mistress of the Bian family felt a slight relief, her confidence creeping back. She glared at Yun Haoyan and challenged him,

“If you’re so brave, tell me your name. I swear, you will pay for this.”

She had already plotted her revenge; once home, she would enlist her brother’s help.

Her brother, the eldest son of the Bian family, was a Martial Master of the first level.

“Yun family, Yun Haoyan!” Having declared his name, Yun Haoyan grasped Yun Tiantian’s hand and they strode confidently toward the Echoes of Despair.

As Yun Haoyan walked away without a hint of concern for retaliation, the young Miss Bian’s frustration only intensified.

“Let’s head back to the Bian estate. I’m going to find my brother and have him get justice for me.”

Meanwhile, Yun Haoyan and Yun Tiantian had made some distance. Tiantian, watching her brother lead the way, couldn’t help but smile contentedly.

She cherished the feeling of her brother’s protection; it enveloped her in a sense of security and made the world seem bathed in sunlight.

Yet today, her brother had confronted Miss Bian because of her, and Tiantian couldn’t shake off a bit of worry.

“Brother, you stood up to Miss Bian. What if she seeks revenge? I’ve heard her brother is exceptionally talented, and the Bian family is one of the top three clans. It seems like our Yun family might be outmatched…”

Yun Haoyan gently patted his sister’s head, offering reassurance.

“Don’t worry. As long as I’m here, the Bian family is no threat.”

“Okay!” Tiantian beamed, her sweet smile reflecting her trust in her brother’s words.

Noticing the lingering red mark on his sister’s face, Yun Haoyan’s expression hardened.

The Bian family will not get away with this.

They dared to harm my sister; they will pay.

Upon reaching the Echoes of Despair, they were greeted warmly.

“Welcome, please come inside,” the maidservant said, inviting them in with a courteous gesture.

Yun Haoyan intercepted the maidservant as she moved to summon Steward Qi. “I need several types of Spiritual Plants. There’s no need to bother Steward Qi.”

The maidservant paused, then asked, “Which Spiritual Plants do you need? I’ll fetch them right away.”

“Ice Li Bark, Ice Heart Herb…” Yun Haoyan listed several varieties.

All were first-grade Spiritual Plants, quite common yet essential.
