The Returning Sword Saint's

Chapter 4: Blackmail

Xiao Yun looked at the five men and frowned.

"Uncle, what are you doing here?" Xiao Yun asked with narrowed eyes.

Xiao Ming saw Xiao Yun coming and he did not panic at all. He simply chuckled and assessed Xiao Yun from top to bottom.

"Oh!? My nephew is awake. Good good, I guess you'll be in a coma all the time, hahaha! Hafe ... It's good that you're here, then I'll come clean. I want your mother to give me Jade Mushroom" Xiao Ming said casually.

Xiao Yun heard that a little surprised, he turned his gaze on the box that his mother hugged and a hint of intelligence flashed through his mind.

'So mom really got Jade Mushroom for me ... Thank you mom.'

However his expression immediately changed after seeing Xiao Ming once more.

"Xiao Yun, with your talent, you should know that the Jade Mushroom is an item that is too precious to you. It is futile to use this resource for you. You better hand it over to me so I can give it to my son to train and I will remember your services to the clan, hahaha." Xiao Ming explained while outraged.

Xiao Yun clenched tightly and his heart was engulfed in anger, yet he managed to ease his emotions well and spoke. "Uncle, I know that Jade Mushroom is a precious spirit plant, but that doesn't mean it's hard to come by with your abilities. Didn't the Herbal Hall definitely provide it, with the clan's allocation monthly money, couldn't uncle get it easily?"

Xiao Ming heard this and he just scoffed.

"If this was a week ago, then true, the clan still has a lot of it. But now, there were only a few that had all been aimed at people important to the clan."

Xiao Yun was surprised to hear that and he suddenly thought of something about the trade war of the Xiao Clan with the other clans in the city. However this was none of Xiao Yun's business and he immediately thought quickly to resolve the matter before him.

'I heard Xiao Ming's cultivation is at the fifth Qi Foundation stage, and it has a very far difference from me. Fighting frontally would obviously be a crushing defeat for me. I don't know what made Xiao Ming so bold to offend the current mother, however, mother is still the fifth wife of the Patriarch, even though mother has lost a lot of her status, not someone in the clan dares to act openly ...'

His father, no, the Patriarch had a confusing relationship with him, between caring or not caring. If Xiao Ming was so bold as to act against even though he already knew that it was his sister's wife, then either Xiao Ming knew that the Patriarch did not care, or he did not care about the consequences that would befall him.

Whatever the reason, it seemed that Xiao Yun would still lose maintaining the Jade Mushroom for himself.

Xiao Yun then approached his mother and spoke, "Mother, can you give me the box?"

Ruan Zi simply nodded and gave the little box to his son. After receiving it, Xiao Yun turned his gaze to Xiao Ming.

"Uncle, I can't give you this Jade Mushroom for free. My mother has worked hard to obtain this spirit plant. However, I am willing to trade with you if you are willing to pay 100 gold coins" Xiao Yun said calmly.

Xiao Ming frowned, but just as he was about to speak, Xiao Yun cut him off.

"Uncle knew that I was still your nephew, and mother was the wife of the Patriarch. Uncle wouldn't be so inferior to take this Jade Mushroom on this weak junior, would he? At least, I should receive compensation so that my mother's efforts are not in vain." Xiao Yun explained.

Xiao Ming looked at Xiao Yun deeply and he said, "Then what if I refuse?"

Xiao Yun simply smiled resignedly, "Then I can't do anything about it, with uncle's strength, then it will be very easy to step on an ant like me."

Xiao Yun stroked his chin as if thinking, he suddenly laughed.

"Hahaha, interesting, I commend your courage. All right, but I'll only trade 50 gold coins for you." Xiao Ming forced.

Xiao Yun gritted his teeth and was angry that the offer given was too extreme.

'The normal price of Jade Mushroom was 100 gold coins, but he bid in half! This is really a robbery! But I can't do anything right now. If I refuse, I won't get any compensation, Xiao Ming can even snatch the Jade Mushroom without losing any money. Huh, without support, I actually lost this time.'

Xiao Yun thought of all the risks about his next action, and he could only sigh at having to accept this treatment.

"All right, I'm taking it."

"Xiao Yun but that..." Ruan Zi was about to speak but was cut off by Xiao Yun.

Xiao Ming was happy about this, he then spoke. "Hahaha, good good, it seems that you made the right decision, but I still have one condition."

"It's very simple, as long as you can take one hit from me and still stand strong, then I will keep my promise."

Ruan Zi who heard that could not be worried, "Yun'er, this ..."

Yet Xiao Yun raised his hand to cut and only nodded accepting Xiao Ming's terms.

"I'm okay with it."

Xiao Ming laughed seeing this, "You really are something, alright, start trading."

Then Xiao Yun gave the box containing Jade Mushroom to check. Xiao Ming nodded and indeed it was the Jade Mushroom.

"Okay uncle, where's your money?" xiao Yun asked with narrowed eyes.

Xiao Ming chuckled and said, "Money? Haha, this is your money! Take it!"

Xiao Ming took the money bag in his pocket and gave it to Xiao Yun, but the way he gave the money bag was as if someone was hitting.

With a distance of one meter, naturally Xiao Yun could not dodge the attack. He had a serious expression and could only withstand the incoming attacks.

The punch of a Qi Foundation cultivator was not light, let alone Xiao Yun was only a person at the three Qi Gathering realm. However facing this attack, Xiao Yun had already anticipated from the start and he tried to hold back.

Xiao Ming's right hand accelerated with a powerful momentum that was directed at Xiao Yun's stomach. Xiao Yun with his combat experience in his previous life could see the direction of the attack, he with his hands held back Xiao Ming's punch, but due to the gap of the difference in strength, he was able to see the direction of the attack, he with his hands held back Xiao Ming's punch, but due to the gap of the difference in strength, xiao Yun's hand could not resist and continued to rush into his stomach.

Bang out!

Xiao Yun took fifteen steps back. He could feel that his stomach was exploding, and a very painful jumble.

He held his stomach with his hands to endure the pain, while his left hand held a money bag.

Clearly the pain Xiao Yun received was very real, his expression could not lie. However, Xiao Yun remained steadfast not allowing his body to kneel.

Xiao Ming who saw his punch could not take down Xiao Yun had an ugly expression. He had absolutely not expected that a child who was only at the three Qi Gathering realm could withstand his blow.

Even though he only exerted 30% of his strength, yet it should have been enough to make another child fall unconscious.

Although he did not want to accept it, he had to fulfill his previous promise. He just snorted while then turned around to leave. But before that, he spoke.

"You're lucky now Xiao Yun, but for the next time, hehehe ..."

With that, Xiao Ming left with his entourage.

Seeing that Xiao Ming had already left, Xiao Yun sighed in relief.

But soon his painful expression grew sharp and he spewed out a mouthful of blood and fell to his knees. Panicked Ruan Zi immediately approached.

"Yun! You're hurt! Come back home, I'll treat you." Ruan Zi was very worried.

Xiao Yun rubbed his mouth and he said.

"Have you faced this all alone for 6 years, Mom?" asked Xiao Yun.

"I ..."

Xiao Yun shook his head, "Mom, you've been taking good care of me all this time. Next, I will replace him for you. I will repay each of their deeds tenfold! Just wait for playtime, I will make those who dare to censure you will get a worse reply from death!"
