Chapter 177 The Hua Sheng Family
The flying boat descended slowly, finally crashing to the ground with a thud. The scholars around seemed to have taken it all in stride, showing no surprise whatsoever, and hurriedly went in and out.
“Let’s go. There will naturally be someone to manage this flying boat here. Besides, I borrowed it from the Holy Academy. Generally speaking, no one would dare to steal it.”
Chen Sijun smiled and then said that after passing through the city gate, they were all checked by those people in armor before they went in.
Upon entering Jianye City, one is greeted by magnificent and grand architecture, with thousands of lights illuminating the area. The ancient buildings appear as if they are adorned with jewels, and the streets shimmer like a silver river.
The streets were bustling with people, including scholars and other locals, adding to the vibrancy of the place.
"Come, I'll take you to the Hua family's residence. Today, I'm here to show you some hospitality."
Hua Mufeng smiled slightly, walked through several streets, and arrived at a grand pharmacy.
This building is adorned with carved railings and jade steps. Inside, countless wisps of smoke rise, accompanied by a rich aroma of medicine.
Hua Mufeng looked at the enormous medicine building, a touch of nostalgia appearing on his face.
Ye Ru and Chen Sijun remained silent. After all, Hua Mufeng had disagreed with those doctors and left the Hua family in a fit of anger. Although it was an impulsive act, he had not returned for a long time. When he revisited the old place, he inevitably felt sad.
However, at that moment, a cold laugh came from afar and finally reached the ears of the three of them.
"So he's a discarded son of a noble family, someone who was expelled from the family. How dare he come back? He's utterly shameless!"
These words caused some of the people around to stop, and then their expressions changed as they looked at the old man who was slowly approaching.
"Who is this?"
Ye Ru frowned as he looked at the old man with a somewhat cold gaze and rather harsh features.
"Hua Mufeng? Is he the one who felt ashamed back then and was personally expelled by the head of my Hua family for seeking fame and fortune?"
"Really, I can't believe more than a decade has passed. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was dead. Did you come here today just to humiliate yourself?"
"Elder Huaxing, tomorrow is our Hua family's medicine gathering, so let's not waste our breath on this person."
Those people next to Huaxing were taken aback when they saw Hua Mufeng, and a chorus of mocking voices echoed throughout the area.
These words made Hua Mufeng's face turn somewhat ugly, while Ye Ru looked at Hua Xing in front of him, not understanding what grudge existed between them.
But Ye Ru knew that if the old man in front of him continued to be aggressive, he would definitely take action, after all, Hua Mufeng had saved Chen Sijun back then.
He could never forget this kindness.
"What? You left the Hua family back then, and now you want to come back? Let me tell you, don't even dream about it. The Hua family doesn't keep mediocre people!"
"Yes, Elder Hua Xing is right. The Hua Sheng family will no longer keep you. Don't be ungrateful and bring shame upon yourself!"
"Have you said enough? As members of the prestigious Hua family, instead of taking it upon yourselves to help people all over the world, you are here using foul language to hurt others. You are truly disgracing the Hua family."
Ye Ru sneered, his eyes filled with mockery.
"Who are you? A mere student dares to be so insolent in my Hua family!"
At this moment, a student from the Hua family glanced at Ye Ru and shouted sternly.
boom!
At this moment, Ye Ru's talent burst forth, and a power ten times greater than that of a scholar transformed into a hurricane, crashing fiercely into the student.
boom!
Before the student could react, he felt a tremendous force, as if his inner energy had been violently shaken, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
'presumptuous!'
This scene immediately turned Hua Xing's face cold.
Those around them, witnessing this fierce exchange of words, all froze in shock.
"Although I don't know who you are, Mr. Hua has been kind to me, and I should repay him. Don't you good-for-nothings who only know how to fight among noble families disgrace the sage Hua Tuo?"
Ye Ru snorted coldly and said sarcastically.
"How dare you slander the Hua Sheng family! Guards, seize him! According to the Hua family's ironclad rules, he must be executed without exception!"
Upon hearing this, Hua Xing's face suddenly turned extremely gloomy. Then, with a wave of his hand, the remaining scholars rushed out.
"Humph!"
Their talent was palpable, but before they could even get close to Ye Ru, an aura of talent ten times stronger than theirs suddenly burst forth. Wherever this aura passed, the faces of the scholars turned utterly horrified, and their bodies were sent flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground.
"A scholar? No, how could his talent be so great!"
Sensing that terrifying power of talent, Hua Xing's pupils contracted, and his heart was filled with shock.
"Hmph, no matter what, you have insulted the Hua Sheng family. Today I will arrest you and bring you to justice!"
Shocked, Hua Xing was furious. If he couldn't even beat Ye Ru, how could he maintain his position within the aristocratic families?
The next moment, a third-grade literary treasure appeared in his hand.
This is a medicine jar, with a gem-like green color on it, and some very strange patterns on its surface.
"A third-grade literary treasure?"
Ye Ru slightly raised his eyelids, then waved his hand, and three fourth-grade literary treasures appeared around him in an instant, directly suppressing the power of Hua Xing's literary treasure.
"A fourth-grade literary treasure?"
Feeling the power contained within these literary treasures, countless people looked at Ye Ru with a newfound sense of awe.
Even a prestigious family wouldn't easily part with such a fourth-grade literary treasure.
The moment the fourth-grade literary treasure was unleashed, Hua Xing's expression turned ugly. As a member of the Hanlin Academy, he naturally could not actually attack Ye Ru, but what was happening now made him lose face.
"Who dares to cause trouble at the gate of the Hua Sheng family!"
At that moment, two more figures appeared and shouted sharply.
"A gentleman uses words, not fists. This man has not only defamed the Hua Sheng family, but also injured one of our family's men. As the saying goes, 'An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.' Gentlemen, please capture him! Let us restore the reputation of the Hua Sheng family!"
Hua Xing saw the two scholars and immediately shouted.
"Those who respect others will always be respected, and those who insult others will always be insulted. You spoke ill of others first, so why don't you have the guts to admit it? Are you just a cowardly scholar?"
A cold glint flashed in Ye Ru's eyes as he spoke.
"I am Hua Mufeng. I have not come here today for internal strife. Let's leave now."
Hua Mufeng took a deep breath, feeling even more disheartened, and then wanted to leave.
"Hua Mufeng? Mr. Hua, please wait!"
Upon hearing the name, the two scholars were first taken aback, then overjoyed and immediately exclaimed.
"What? I, a discarded member of the Hua family, have no face left to stay here?"
Hua Mufeng turned his head away, his voice devoid of any emotion.
