The Geared Immortal

Chapter 449

/*unedited*/

Shin Jiao actually didn't want to interfere with the matter of the Yangs. But when he saw the condition of Wen Mo Yang, his conscience could not take it and made his move. This is because if he would be a bit late, then she would surely die.

And so, he has gained attention towards himself, but he didn't mind.

Meanwhile, Nalin Li was immediately worried upon seeing Ki Fah unconscious and was taken outside of the courtyard. However, she can only weep inside her heart as she looks with worry in her eyes towards the young man.

"Sister Nalin, it seems that you are worried about that young man…" the woman who silently sits beside Nalin Li said.

The woman is the 1st concubine of Guang Yang, Ai Cho. Ai Cho belongs to a noble family in Dongxi City. She and Guang Yang fell in love, and she decided to marry him even though she would just be a concubine. However, she got along with Yulian Ye who is the main wife. The two became friends and would always be seen together chatting.

Ai Cho as a noblewoman held some power, hence she also knew of the affair of Nalin Li, but she didn't want to bother her as Guang Yang was only forced to marry the woman due to the pressure of the Yang clan.

As long as she didn't hurt Guang Yang and the children, she would not do anything. But tonight was different. The woman actually colluded with outsiders to plot against the youngest daughter of the family. Hence she decided to do something about it. But who would have known that the person whom Wen Mo brought was really someone powerful?

Upon hearing Ai Cho's words, Nalin Li stiffens. Her heart began pounding wildly and nervousness and anxiety immediately enveloped her expression.

Seeing this, Ai Cho smirked and stood from her seat. She followed her husband Guang Yang and Yulian Ye as they carried Wen Mo towards the inner room. Before turning a corner, she tilted her head and gave a sharp glance at Nalin Li's figure which started shaking uncontrollably.

As a pampered woman she was brought up to fear the powerful and bully the weak. But in this house he is weak hence she feared all the people in this place. But what can she do when she is in this situation? She only slept with the master of the house once and that was when they were married. If she didn't birth a child she could not have a foothold in the house, is what she thought. However, in reality, she wasn't treated unfairly as was treated just like the main wife and the 1st concubine.

But since she was groomed with the mindset that those who are unable to bear a child for the lord of the house is unimportant, her thinking is already poisoned by such logic.

So when a young handsome man seduced her, her heart was immediately swayed and hence had an affair with the young master of the Fah family. She has been with him a few times already and she knew that sometime soon she would be pregnant.

But she didn't expect to see the man she has taken a fancy of being easily defeated like that and worse, by an unknown person.

So her mind began to think of a possible way or solution. While doing so panic has already enveloped her heart. But she didn't want to give up. She needed a foothold in the house, and her belly is the key. She lifted her gaze and turn towards the direction in which the Wen Mo Yang was taken.

A flash of ruthlessness appears in them.

"Wen Mo Yang, don't blame me for this… everything was going as planned. It was all your fault that my Ki Fah was hurt." She muttered in a low voice.

…

Wen Mo Yang slowly opens her eyes and found herself lying in her own bedroom. She was sure that she had fainted and after that, she didn't know what happened next.

Feeling that nothing is wrong with her body, she slowly got up from her bed. She immediately remembers Shin Jiao and wanted to go out, but froze on the spot.

This is because she discovers a figure sitting silently on the side.

"You have to rest for a bit more. Although your body has already recovered, your internal wound is still there." Shin Jiao's voice echoed through the room.

Wen Mo Yang stiffly turns her gaze at the man who seems to be doing something with a crystal object in his hand.

"Ma… Master Jaio… I didn't know that you are here. What… what happened to me?"

"Everything is fine, your father is going to take care of the rest. However, it seems that the poison has corroded a part of your meridian. So you still need some time to recover. Sleep, tomorrow I think you would be fine already."

"Ahhh… really…" she said as she suddenly wanted to check her body.

"Stop! If you do that, your internal wounds would worsen."

Hearing Shin Jiao's warning Wen Mo immediately stopped and relaxed.

The next day

A group of people has appeared in front of the gate of Yang's courtyard. They all showed an angry look on their faces while carrying various weapons. These people are members and retainers of the Fah family.

When they saw the wounds on Ki Fah's body they were all angered. But they need to heal his wounds first before taking their revenge. Since Ki Fah is a gold core realm expert, he is an asset to the family. In this rural town, gold core realm experts are not common.

And only those powerful families in the town have them.

In fact, the highest cultivation level in this town is only at the peak of the gold core realm, which is the head of the town's council.

As the people from the Fah family gathered, they began to shout curses and demand an explanation from the action of the Yang family towards their two young masters.

Right at this moment, Guang Yang and his men are inside a room having a meeting. They are all thinking of ways on how to deal with the situation.

"How about we give them that guest that did this." One of his shadow guards said.

"Are you crazy? That guy is powerful enough to face three gold core realm experts and the rest of the guards that blocked his path, do you think you can ask him to surrender?"

"Then what should we do then? From the looks of it, there are 8 gold core experts outside. Do you think we can face them?"

"I guess those are all the experts in the Fah family. Are they here to bring us down?"

"They might just be using this as an excuse to destroy of Yang family."

The shadow guards inside the room began to discuss while Guang Yang stayed silent. He carefully analyzes his options, as a businessman he didn't want to lose but if he would lose something he would choose a way out.

He knew that the young man named Shin Jiao is powerful, but to face against 8 gold core realms, plus multiple cultivators, would be hard for him, right?

While musing he suddenly heard a knock on the door.

"Come in!" he shouted with impatience in his tone.

As the door opens, everyone saw his young concubine enters.

Nalin Li walks in the room while carrying an exquisitely decorated box in her hand.

"State your purpose, this is no place for a woman." One of the shadow guards said in annoyance.

As shadow guards of their lord, they are aware of what is happening in the house. They also knew of the infidelity of this concubine, but their lord didn't make his move because of the power behind her. So they just let it be. In truth, they are just waiting for her belly to bear the fruit of her infidelity before taking action.

Nalin Li who is unaware of this strode calmly inside the room and presented the brocade box. She carefully put it on the table.

"My lord husband, this is a treasure I have acquired in my maiden home. I hope that we can use this to appease the wrath of the people outside." She said with confidence gleaming in her eyes.

With knitted brow, Guang Yang carefully opens the box.

He knew of the background of Nalin Li. She belongs to the powerful Li clan in Dongxi City. Her clan holds both power and money inside the city and this is the reason why she was married to Guang Yang. As the Li clan finds Guang Yang's business acumen really amazing, the Li clan decided to partner with him and the Yang clan.

He was really against this but he has no choice as the Li clan would pressure his businesses in other towns and villages, hence it would be troublesome. So he agreed, plus with the Li clan's backing, his business has grown thus far.

However, no matter how much he tried, he could not face the woman. As a man, he only loves two women in his life, his main wife, and his 1st concubine. The two women fell in love with him and he too loves them dearly.

As for Nalin Li, he could not bring himself to even like her.

So, while looking at the box with a complicated look in his eyes, Guang Yang hesitated.

"This… how can I…"

"Husband, this is for us… for our family." Nalin Li said with pitiful eyes.

"I cannot dare just watch as people would trample our family." She added.

But deep in Guang Yang's mind, he was scolding the woman.

"If this is for the family, then why did your family forbade me to hire more guards? Why are they limiting my power in this rural town?" he thought as he gritted his teeth.

Without a choice, Guang Yang unlatches the lock of the box and opens it.

Suddenly… Poof!!!
