C964 Mei Man Is Subservient

They knew it was not a good time to laugh, so they all shut up. They waited quietly for Mei Mann to arrive, but it was obvious that they were reluctant to do so. Even though they had stopped talking, their eyes were still flying around, and it was so bright that everyone's heart was like a deer that had crashed into their faces. That scene and atmosphere were even worse than when they had flown away with their mouths just now.

After a short while, Mei Mann was led to the courtyard by three robust men, and behind him was Mei Xiao Xian and a man that was slightly younger than Mei Xiao Xian.

Without waiting for someone to introduce him, Mei Mann rushed forward and knelt in front of Du Qi. He seemed to be a little frightened as he repeatedly kowtowed and said, "Sinner Mei Mann greets the Venerable One! Mei Mann knows that he has committed a grave crime and is willing to be punished!"

Du Qi said without any expression, "Seeing that you came to see me in time, get up and speak!"

Mei Mann replied, "Thank you, Venerable One!" After he finished speaking, Mei Mann kowtowed three more times before standing up and begging, "He knows nothing about Mei Mann. I beg the Venerable One to show mercy and spare my two sons and family."

Seeing Mei Mann's dispirited expression, he no longer had the demeanor of the past. Just like an ordinary old man who was about to die, Du Qi couldn't help but feel a sense of compassion from the depths of his heart. However, he still said with no expression on his face, "Tell me, why did you betray Happy Valley in the past?"

Mei Mann could not help but be startled when he heard this. The reason why he left Happy Valley. Who in Happy Valley did not know? He didn't know why Du Qi still asked even though he knew the answer. Could it be... At this moment, he didn't have the time to think and could only say, "If the sinner didn't leave the valley at that time, his corpse would have long disappeared without a trace."

Du Qi seemed to be a little unhappy as he said, "I am asking you the reason. Just say it. Why do you have so much nonsense to say?"

Mei Mann let out a long sigh and said, "The Venerable One should know that back then, twelve of us brothers and sisters fought with another group for the position of Valley Lord and lost more than half of our people. The other party won't spare us even if we get the upper hand. He killed all of our remaining people with great force. In order to save our lives, we had no choice but to leave the valley. In the end, only three of us managed to escape from the valley. Ninth Sister Mei Ying died because of her severe injuries. In the end, she only offended people and eighth brother Mei Can, who survived."

Since ancient times, the winner was king and the loser was king. No matter whether it was the temple or the Jianghu, it was the same. Those who lost their power like Mei Mann could escape with their lives, and those who could survive for so long were few and far between. Although Du Qi didn't know about the situation at that time, he believed that Mei Mann wouldn't dare to lie at this time.

Seeing that no one asked questions, Mei Mann continued, "At that time, although the sinner and eighth brother Mei Can survived, they were at a loss. Worried that they would be hunted down, the sinner and eighth brother had to escape separately. The sinner had been in the mountain for many days, and he was starving. Thus, he mustered his courage and went to a remote family to beg for food. Just as he ran into the owner of the family who went up the mountain to chop firewood, he was bitten by a poisonous snake and his life was on the verge of death. The sinner had used some means to save the life of the owner of the family. Later, the sinner was taken in by the owner of the family. And... Recruiting him as his son-in-law, the sinner settled down here. He has been living in seclusion until now. "

Du Qi suddenly asked, "Did you build Cold Plum Mountain Manor with your own hands?"

Mei Mann quickly confessed, "Yes! The criminals build the manor with their own abilities. They do not do anything evil, and they do their best to protect the safety of the nearby areas."

Du Qi smiled and said, "Have you never thought of counterattacking the Happy Valley?"

Mei Mann said bitterly, "To tell you the truth, the sinner did have such an idea. However, when he remembered the twelve of us brothers and sisters, and the many supporters behind us, we were still defeated by them and could only run for our lives. With the strength of the sinners alone, who would dare to do such a thing? In the end, we didn't even dare to have this idea. "

Du Qi asked," Don't you have an eighth brother? Why are you the only one? "

Mei Mann said, "That day, the sinner and eighth brother Mei Can split up and escaped. After that, there was no longer any connection between them. Now, the sinner really doesn't know where the eighth brother Mei Can is living or dying."

Du Qi said seriously," Mei Mann, I will give you a chance now. I will let you return to Happy Valley. Are you willing? "

Du Qi's words were undoubtedly like a bomb that exploded abruptly, shaking the minds of Zheng Yue, Wey Dongyang, Xia Yueliang, and the rest of the people from Happy Valley. All of them looked at Du Qi with puzzlement.

It took Mei Mann a long time to come back to his senses. He had come here to beg for death. He wasn't confident that he would be able to protect the lives of his two sons and his family. If he really returned to Happy Valley, even if he couldn't save his life, he could at least save his two sons. How could he not be willing?

Almost without thinking, Mei Mann's legs went soft. He knelt in front of Du Qi again and said with gratitude, "Sinner Mei Mann is willing to return to Happy Valley. Sinner Mei Mann will never forget the great kindness of the Venerable One!"

Du Qi smiled and said, "Get up! Don't call yourself a sinner, it makes people uncomfortable to hear it. In order to avoid your old enemies from harming you, you should still live in Cold Plum Mountain Manor. However, you have to be like the Northern and Southern Houses and the Eastern and Western Houses. You have to do your best to protect Happy Valley. Also, I don't like the way you address me. You can either call me Young Master. Or just call me Valley Lord."

Mei Mann had thought that Du Qi was just an emissary sent by Happy Valley, which was why he had respected Du Qi. Although he was willing to return to Happy Valley, he didn't think highly of his life in the valley. Just like what Du Qi had said, his old enemies would definitely find a chance to cause trouble. He didn't have anyone to rely on in the valley. Thinking about it made his life difficult. But in order to protect his two sons and family, he had to admit it.

After seeing Du Qi let him stay in Cold Plum Mountain Manor, he thought that Du Qi must have some wild ambition. Asking him to pledge allegiance was to foster his own power. At that time, it would be inevitable that he would be involved in trouble again. Who would have thought that Du Qi was actually a Valley Lord? All of his worries and doubts vanished in an instant. Immediately, he said sincerely, "Mei Mann obeys the Valley Lord's instructions!"

After saying that, Mei Mann kowtowed three more times before standing up. Unlike before, Mei Mann's face was full of joy. He became full of energy, making him look much younger.

Mei Mann did not have time to be happy. He hurriedly called Mei Xiao Xian and another man who was still standing a little distance away. "Xiao Xian, Xiao Hou, quickly come and greet the Valley Lord!"

Mei Xiao Xian and Mei Xiao Hou did not know that their father was a traitor of Happy Valley. Following the conversation between Mei Mann and Du Qi, they finally understood everything, and were naturally incomparably shocked. Even though they knew that the matter had been resolved, they still couldn't let go of it. They had no idea where it was, but when they heard Mei Mann calling out to them, mei Xiao Xian," "Mei Xiaohou, greet the Valley Lord!"

Du Qi was happy and satisfied as he said, "You two do not need to be so polite. I hope that you will be as chivalrous as ever, and do not disappoint Old Mei's education, and do not disappoint the expectations of the vast majority of the weak!"

Mei Xiao Xian and Mei Xiaohou said almost at the same time," We will follow the orders of the Valley Lord. We will definitely not let down the Valley Lord's high expectations! "
