Chapter 1709: Swordsman the Cloud

“Hong Qing, what’s wrong with you?! Can you show some compassion?!” said the woman unhappily, who had brought Jiang Chen to the team out of good intentions .

“I just want him to be mentally prepared . It won’t be so easy to ransom someone from the Bloody Killing Gang . ”

The youngster called Hong Qing, did not restrain himself . He stood up instead . Pointing at the middle-aged man who had spoken to Jiang Chen, he said, “That man has been here for days . He has enough ransom, but with no one backing him up, he hasn’t even got the chance to go onto the mountain . ”

Everyone there knew something about the middle-aged man .

His daughter was kidnapped there . He was already broken in order to raise the ransom, but he still failed to find enough money .

“Just you, such a little guy, and that three-star guy, why would they see you?”

Hong Qing also saw Ma Wei, who was standing behind Jiang Chen .

Ma Wei had just tied the horse . He did not expect to be looked down upon as soon as he came back .

He was, after all, a boss, too . He was going to flare up right away .

But he did not forget about his situation . He snorted but did not do anything .

Hong Qing sat back complacently .

“I hope you won’t mind . That’s Hong Qing . If you are with us, it will be easier to ransom your family,” the woman said to Jiang Chen, soothing him .

“I don’t care,” said Jiang Chen .

“Oh?”

Hong Qing, already sitting back, threw him another sharp look .

Not minding and not caring were different .

Jiang Chen said he did not care . He apparently was trying to irritate Hong Qing .

“Forget about it . ”

Those around Hong Qing put their hands on his shoulders so that he would calm down .

“Xiao Yun, stop being so nice all the time . You’ll bring troubles to us in such a situation,” said a short-haired woman aggressively, who obviously took fancy to Hong Qing .

“Well…”

Xiao Yun felt awkward . She did not expect Jiang Chen to be so difficult .

She called him over because his young look evoked pity in her .

She did not expect Jiang Chen to be so proud .

By then, she could not kick him out of the team, either, so she had to brace herself and sit down, despite the awkward feeling .

“You won’t regret,” Jiang Chen said in a low voice .

Xiao Yun was struck dumb . Then she smiled helplessly, without speaking .

Boohoo .

All of a sudden, the teenage girl sitting at the center burst out crying .

The team panicked instantly .

They were comforting the girl while blaming Hong Qing and Xiao Yun for their insensibility because they made their apprentice younger sister feel bad .

From those voices, Jiang Chen learned the girl’s name was Zhao Ying .

It was a small and sweet girl, with two dimples on her baby face .

She was crying like a pear blossom bathed in the rain at that moment, quite delicate and touching .

It was her mother that had been kidnapped by the Bloody Killing Bang not long ago .

These people were her sibling disciples . They came here specifically to help their apprentice younger sister .

“Mother… Mother will be fine, won’t she?” Zhao Ying just could not be comforted .

No one knew how to answer her .

“Take it easy . The Bloody Killing Gang is the leader of all dark forces . They have their own morals that they value . They will neither kill nor hurt their hostages . ”

“That being said, if the deadline has passed and still no one comes with the ransom, men will become slaves, and women will be sold to whorehouses . ”

Popping his head out, Ma Wei tried to comfort her .

The first part of his speech was all right, but the second part made Zhao Ying cry harder .

“Damn your morals . ”

Jiang Chen said unhappily . Did he know how to comfort people at all?

Ma Wei was struck dumb and had no idea what he had said wrong .

Zhao Ying kept crying . She was already out of her senses . No one could calm her down .

“You are Zhao Ying, right?” Jiang Chen said at that moment .

His soothing voice struck people dumb . Zhao Ying looked up at him .

“As long as I’m here, your mother will be fine,” Jiang Chen said seriously .

Others were extremely puzzled and had no idea why he had the confidence to say that .

However, Zhao Ying, looking into Jiang Chen’s’s eyes, felt a soothing magic . She stopped crying involuntarily .

Nodding at Jiang Chen, she curled up into the corner again, not saying a word .

The others were very surprised . They did not know how Jiang Chen had made it .

“You are really daring to say that . Don’t you know what you are capable of, and you are not?”

Hong Qing complained silently . If it were not for fear of making Zhao Ying cry again, he would tease Jiang Chen hard .

“I guess I did something unnecessary . ”

Xiao Yun laughed at herself . Judging from Jiang Chen’s tone, he would not need her help at all .

Jiang Chen did not say anything more . He swallowed some elixirs to cure his injuries .

The second part of the night passed fast . At daybreak, everyone stood up and gathered before the mountain gate, except Jiang Chen .

“Leave him alone,” Hong Qing said unhappily, seeing Jiang Chen still sitting in meditation .

Xiao Yun did not say anything after thinking .

Soon, a group of hideous-looking men walked down the steps .

The leader was a bearded man with a flat face, but his eyes were strangely big and round .

“Line in order!”

The man yelled in a loud voice, looking down at the crowd after stopping on the tenth step .

Soon, a line appeared in front of him .

The middle-aged man who was going to pay the ransom for his daughter was at the front . Showing the money he had raised, he looked up with hope .

“Not enough . ”

However, the response he got pushed him into an abyss .

“Why? Why isn’t it enough? Boss Yue, that’s exactly the amount we agreed on last time . ”

Stuttering, the middle-aged man begged, sweating heavily .

“The ransom has risen again . Can’t we do that? Baron Du, I’ll just be honest with you . Our leader takes fancy to your daughter . No matter how much money you bring, it won’t work, unless you can find us a strong enough man . ”

“Next . ”

This Boss Yue smiled coldly . By a wave of his hand, the middle-aged man’s death sentence was announced .

The middle-aged man was so pissed off that he was going to explode . But not long after the hatred showed on his face, it turned into reluctance and grief .

In the end, he was pushed aside by the gangsters of the Bloody Killing Gang .

Hong Qing, Xiao Yun, and their team were the next .

“Boy! What a great team! What happened? Are you going to hold a competition here?” said Yue Laosan, teasing, looking at those talented youngsters .

The other gangsters burst out laughing . Seeing those arrogant people forced to put their pride aside and beg them, they felt great .

Hong Qing came forward with a hard face .

“You are apprentices of Swordsman the Cloud! Did you come for that pretty woman? I vaguely remember . ”

Yue Laosan was not surprised to learn who they were .

“My master told me we should give the leader of the Bloody Killing Gang this face and follow the rules . This is the ransom . Please release her . ”

Hong Qing did not hand him the ransom . Instead, he left it on the ground .

Squinting, Yue Laosan kicked Hong Qing in his chest after staying quiet for a few seconds .

“Who do you think you are?!” he cursed .

“You!”

Getting up to his feet in anger, Hong Qing was going to start a fight . But feeling the killing intent of the Bloody Killing Gang, he had to hold his temper .

At that moment, Yue Laosan’s attention had been diverted . He was sizing up Zhao Ying .

“For the sake of Swordsman the Cloud, I won’t be angry with you . Let this filial daughter go onto the mountain to pick up her mother,” said Yue Laosan .

Zhao Ying was pleasantly surprised immediately .

“You should bring her here . Isn’t that the usual way to do things?”

Extending her arm to stop Zhao Ying, Xiao Yun asked Yue Laosan .
