Astral Apostle
chapter-315

More than ten guards carried the unconscious Wu Fang back to the Wu Family Manor, causing a commotion.

When Wu Changgui and Wu Zhen heard the report, they were shocked. They hurriedly rushed to the main hall and saw Wu Fang and the others in a sorry state.

"What… what happened?"

Wu Changgui was shocked and did not understand.

At this moment, Wu Fang had already woken up under the treatment of one of the guards. Stars were still flashing in his eyes, and half of his face was in extreme pain.

He hissed as he spoke hatefully,

"I went to collect my debts today, but a burly man appeared out of nowhere and actually stopped me. He ambushed me without a word and knocked me out!"

"Why did he hit you for no reason? Did you bump into him?"

Wu Changgui frowned.

Wu Fang covered his face and was unable to restrain his anger. He said angrily, "In the beginning, I treated him with respect and spoke nicely, but this person refused to let go. In my anger, I didn't hold back. Who knew that this person's temperament was so violent? I only raised my voice a little, but he took advantage of my carelessness to attack. It's really annoying! I can't take this lying down!"

Wu Zhen was also furious and cursed, "This person is too much!"

However, Wu Changgui knew that his third son had always been domineering and did not believe everything. He turned to look at the dozen or so bruised and swollen guests at the side and said in a deep voice,

"Is that really the case? What's this burly man like? Even a dozen of you can't protect my son?"

"That man did indeed attack suddenly." The banker at the side hurriedly replied, "Old Master might not know, but that man is so well-built. At first glance, he looks like a bear or a tiger, extremely ferocious. More than ten of us rushed forward, but we were injured by him alone."

Hearing this, Wu Zhen's heart suddenly stirred. He asked,

"Is this person called Chen Feng? He has messy hair, wears a yellow shirt, and holds a branch?"

"That burly man didn't introduce himself, but his appearance is indeed so." The guests nodded.

"It's really him!" Wu Zhen was shocked and furious.

Wu Changgui also remembered that he had seen Zhou Jing at the door.

"So it's him… That's strange. Not long ago, my Wu family invited him to our residence for a chat. We were even willing to offer him a gift to get to know him. We didn't offend him and our etiquette is considered thorough. Why doesn't this person give us face? Third son, did you introduce yourself and say that you're from the Wu family?"

Seeing that his father and second brother knew this person, Wu Fang was also puzzled. He said unhappily, "Of course I did, but he didn't give me any face at all!"

Hearing this, Wu Zhen's expression changed. He suddenly slammed the table and stood up.

"How can we just let him off after he bullied our Wu family like this? Third Brother, wait a moment. I'll order the villagers to capture him and bring him to you!"

He knew that Zhou Jing was powerful and had good martial arts skills. Initially, he had the intention to befriend him, but after this matter, his thoughts faded and he joined Wu Fang to treat him as an enemy.

After all, that burly man was an outsider, and the one who was beaten up was his own family.

Seeing this, Wu Fang hurriedly said, "Second Brother, be careful. This person easily defeated more than ten of my followers. His skills are not bad."

Wu Zhen snorted and said firmly,

"No matter how good his martial arts are, even if he can fight more than ten people, can he fight a few hundred? With 300 of our guards, capturing him will be easy!"

Wu Changgui shook his head at the side, but he did not stop him. He picked up the teacup and took a sip before spitting out the tea foam. He slowly spoke,

"This person attacked first, so we have a good excuse. Remember to kidnap him alive and ask him what his background is. We'll act according to the circumstances. If he doesn't have any background, let's hand him over to the government to deal with. Give the prison head some benefits and let him die in prison. There's no need to dirty our hands."

"Of course I'll not stoop to their level." Wu Zhen nodded and said coldly, "But I have to make him suffer first."

Wu Changgui nodded and closed his eyes to rest.

However, Wu Fang urged, "Second Brother, go quickly. Otherwise, that man will most likely run away because he's afraid of our Wu family."

"I'll leave now."

When Wu Zhen heard that, he hurriedly called over hundreds of guards and was about to go out to capture Zhou Jing.

However, at this moment, there was a commotion at the entrance of the courtyard.

A gatekeeper hurriedly ran into the manor and even fell on the way,

"We're in trouble! Someone is attacking us!"

Hearing this, Wu Zhen, Wu Fang, and the others were shocked. They led the guards to the courtyard.

A burly man was leading a few cowering farmers around the projection wall and appeared in front of Wu Zhen and the others. The leader was Zhou Jing.

More and more guards gathered around, all holding staffs and looking hostile.

However, Zhou Jing was calm and composed. He held a branch in one hand and a staff in the other, looking extremely ferocious.

"It's this person!"

Wu Fang shouted as he glared at Zhou Jing.

Wu Zhen was puzzled. He paused and frowned,

"I was just about to look for you, but you came knocking on my door?"

Zhou Jing replied casually, "To avoid trouble."

"… How bold."

Wu Zhen narrowed his eyes in surprise.

He had thought that Zhou Jing would quickly escape after committing a crime, but he did not expect him to come knocking on his door. It really stunned him.

Did this person not know that there were hundreds of guest guards in their manor? What was he thinking by walking into their trap?

Had he always been so brave?

At this moment, Wu Changgui stepped out of the crowd and stared at Zhou Jing.

"Warrior, my Wu Village Manor treats you with respect and has never mistreated you, but you injured my son. Is there a misunderstanding?"

"There's no misunderstanding." Zhou Jing also glanced at him.

Wu Changgui frowned and looked at the cowering farmers. He suddenly had a guess in his heart.
