Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains

But at the very least, he needed the chance to meet someone from the Qinglong Association, but right now, he didn't even have the qualifications to speak, let alone discuss the Qinglong Token.

"Brother, with our level of cultivation, we can't even get a word in here. Even if the Qinglong Association were to give us a chance, our financial means can't compare with those people from before. Let's head back, and plan for our parents' revenge from there, shall we?"

Seeing his sister, Cheng Yundie, who was usually vivacious and lovely, now exuding an air of exhaustion, and recalling how she had followed him in their frantic journey, Cheng Yunye felt as if his heart was being ruthlessly squeezed. After a moment of contemplation, he finally nodded with a pained expression.

Among the more than a thousand people here, their level of cultivation was nearly at the very bottom. No matter in what manner the Qinglong Association decided to sell those ten silver Qinglong Tokens, it certainly had nothing to do with them. It was better to leave early to avoid trouble.

Just as they were about to leave and turned around, they discovered a figure in green clothing who had been standing behind them all along. They were already at the very edge of the crowd, yet this person in green stood even further behind, suggesting even lower cultivation.

Although the man in green was handsome, there was a soft, feminine edge to his features. Dangling from his hand was a longsword, and his eyes were fixated on Cheng Yunye and his sister.

"You want to buy, the silver Qinglong Token?"

The voice of the man in green was quite shrill, and the femininity in his tone became more evident as he spoke.

Cheng Yunye realized that the man in green had overheard their conversation, and his brow furrowed immediately. Not wanting to engage any further, he grabbed his sister, intending to leave quickly.

"You can't afford the silver Qinglong Token, but I can offer you a chance!"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yunye was taken aback, turned his head to look at the man in green, his eyes shifting slightly, and whispered, "May I ask what you mean by that, sir?"

"Today, the Qinglong Association will only issue a hundred Qinglong Bronze Orders. With it, one can participate in the contention for the silver Qinglong Token later. Ten thousand taels, do you want it or not?"

Cheng Yunye thought the man in green was a swindler and his expression instantly turned cold as he was about to retort sarcastically.

However, at this moment, Cheng Yundie gently nudged him and cast a significant glance towards the outskirts of the crowd.

At that glance, Cheng Yunye turned his head back to the man in green, his expression immediately shifting.

They were now just a meter or two away from the crowd, and the voice of the man in green wasn't quiet. Reasonably, the others should have heard him, yet not a single person turned their head as if they couldn't hear their conversation at all.

This situation had only one explanation: the man in green had used some tactic.

"I'll only give you ten breaths to decide. Take it and pay up, or forget it!"

Hou Yujie spoke with a trace of languor in his voice. He had just arrived and happened to overhear the siblings' conversation, which had suddenly piqued his interest.

On his way to Prefectural City, it seemed Hou Yuxiao had received a new order from Maiden Hong, instructing him to distribute all one hundred Copper Orders. Therefore, he gathered everyone together and gave out five each.

Hou Yujie might have felt a twinge of compassion, but more than that, he sensed that these siblings had some money on them.

The two had just said themselves that they couldn't compete financially with the others from before.

After all, it was just a Qinglong Bronze Order. Selling it for ten thousand taels each was no loss to him. The siblings clearly bore some vendetta, so helping them out with this small favor was no big deal.

Cheng Yunye's complexion changed several times, obviously conflicted about whether to trust the man in green. Just as the ten breaths were up, he gritted his teeth and pulled out a silver note with a face value of ten thousand taels from his bosom.

"I hope you will keep your word, elder!"

Hou Yujie accepted the silver note with a light chuckle and flicked his finger at Cheng Yunye.

A Qinglong Bronze Order about the size of a palm flew straight into Cheng Yunye's hand. He picked up the token to check its authenticity, but then suddenly realized he had never seen a Qinglong Token before and was instantly at a loss.

Thump... Thump... Thump...

"End of the Xu Hour, time is up!"

A faint sound of drumming came from the direction of Prefectural City, and upon hearing Hou Yujie's low chant, Cheng Yunye's face went blank, unsure of his meaning.

Hou Yujie took out a ghostly mask from his bosom and placed it over his face. Without another glance at Cheng Yunye, he looked up at the sky, leaped up, and landed directly in the front row.

"Brother, he really is from the Qinglong Association..."

While Cheng Yunye was still in a daze, he heard his sister's exclamation. He hurriedly looked up and saw Hou Yujie heading towards the core area of Shili Slope. He also spotted seven or eight figures leaping out from all directions—all of them were wearing the same type of mask as Hou Yujie.

His face changed immediately, and a surge of ecstasy filled his heart. He quickly secured the Qinglong Order in his bosom.

"There's still a chance, we're not leaving!"

Cheng Yundie nodded and followed her brother back into the crowd.

Their eyes were now fixed on Hou Yujie, who had given them the Qinglong Order.

...

Eight figures converged from all directions, and the watching martial artists had certainly noticed it early on. Seeing the eight masked in ghostly visages and dressed in green, it became clear that the day's main event was about to commence, and upon recognizing the level of cultivation of the eight, everyone's faces turned pale.

"They're here..."

"Tsk, tsk. Eight high-level experts in the Gang Qi Realm and three in the Gathering Evil Phase. This is lavish; truly worthy of the Qinglong Association!"
