Chapter 665: Chapter 655: Aftermath, Awakened

Seeing Wu Jue shake his head, Jiang Lingxi said, "That’s fine."

After all, hands are quite important.

"Go clean up."

"Yes."

Wu Jue walked over to Wu Hua, who was slumped amidst a pile of withered flower leaves. He quietly observed for a moment, then recited a Buddhist prayer softly.

He could still remember the appearance of this little junior sister when he first met her: charmingly cute, with a sweet smile. Later, upon learning that this girl had done something wrong, his first reaction was disbelief, but eventually... he had to believe it.

In his memory, the junior sister who had affectionately called him "senior brother" gradually became more and more unfamiliar.

Until now, completely unrecognizable!

To say that he felt no heartache would be a lie.

Ending up like this was Wu Hua’s own doing.

Your Majesty is more decisive than him.

He withdrew the longsword that was pierced into the heart, the tip faintly stained with red.

The last weakly maintained heartbeat, severed!

Jiang Lingxi, sitting by the bed, also noticed that streak of red, her eyes flickering slightly, but she said nothing.

She still remembered the past relationship between the two people in front of her, and understood that Wu Jue must be feeling uncomfortable right now.

Even though a significant threat in her heart was eliminated, Buddhist practitioners are always compassionate, inherently different from her path.

But because this person was a good friend of Shen Yunqing and had helped much, she simply chose to ignore it.

The doctor, who was called over, hurriedly entered the villa hall after getting off the car, only to see two fainted people lying there. One of them was even the eldest son, tied up with ropes.

Naturally, there was no need to ask who to attend to first, so he was about to head towards the eldest son.

But was stopped by Aibosi Koli.

"Go to the inner room first, there’s another injured person there."

Doctor: "..."

The doctor, although perplexed about who could be more important than the eldest son’s safety, complied since the Aibosi family head had spoken.

He promptly adjusted his steps and walked towards a side room.

Upon seeing the violently broken door, he paused.

Maintaining his composure, he continued in and was taken aback to see three people, one lying down, one sitting, and one crouching.

The reason being, all three had the appearance of people from Hua State, and the seated one even seemed familiar.

Upon hearing the doctor approaching, Wu Jue quickly pulled a curtain cloth to cover the rather eerie corpse of Wu Hua.

The longsword was also kicked under a nearby cabinet.

Otherwise, the doctor coming in would be more than just surprised; he might have run out at top speed.

Jiang Lingxi stood up and nodded to the doctor, who was still hesitating at the door, "Please, Doctor."

"You’re welcome."

The doctor cautiously stepped into the room, which looked like a storm had swept through it, trying his best not to look too much around. He walked straight to the bed which appeared to be the tidiest in the room, "This gentleman is..."

"Coma caused by a car accident, it happened roughly half an hour ago."

After a flurry of activity, the doctor came up with a diagnosis not too different from Wu Jue’s. He quickly left the room, and as soon as he did, Jiang Lingxi received a call from Changning.

"Changning, how’s it going on your side?"

"Sister Lingxi, this Yin Chong, seems a bit odd."

Changning couldn’t quite find the words to describe it.

After Sister Lingxi and Master had left, Changning was quite confident facing Yin Chong.

Facing Wu Hua, she wasn’t so sure, mainly because of the unpredictable and indefensible methods the latter used.

But when facing Wu Hua’s subordinates, relying purely on force, she felt she could handle it.

Yet after actually going up against them and exchanging a few rounds, she started to feel puzzled.

It was as if this person didn’t know pain or exhaustion, or even the concept of defense, only focusing on attacking.

But she knew pain and fatigue. She started off confident, thinking she’d surely beat him down, but later she even resorted to guerrilla tactics, focusing on dragging it out, buying as much time as possible until her allies could arrive to help.

Fighting and fighting, just as she was about to exhaust herself, she suddenly heard the sound of the person who had relentlessly been chasing her collapse behind her, as if dead, completely motionless.

She observed for a long while before cautiously approaching to check his breathing, discovering he was still alive.

Yet his whole body was limp like noodles, a stark difference from before.

She couldn’t understand why this person suddenly turned out this way, so she could only call someone who might know the reason.

After listening to Changning’s account over the phone, Jiang Lingxi glanced at the covered body of Wu Hua, "Maybe because Wu Hua died."

"What, Wu Hua is dead?" Changning nearly jumped up, "Sister Lingxi, did you kill her, or was it my master?"

"I did. Just guard Yin Chong over there. I will arrange for someone to bring you guys over."

In her shock, Changning didn’t notice Yin Chong lying at her feet; when he heard the words ’Wu Hua died’, his eyelids twitched.

When Wu Hua indiscriminately placed methods to control ordinary disciples on him, he had clearly understood that in Wu Hua’s mind, he was no different from those ordinary disciples, just a tool. At most, he was a stronger tool.

Now that Wu Hua was dead, the control over him vanished as well.

He couldn’t tell if he felt more relieved or confused inside.

Afterward, he would either fall into Jiang Lingxi’s hands or Wu Jue’s hands, but thinking about it, there seemed to be no difference.

He closed his eyes, mainly because he couldn’t move even if he wanted to right now.

After hanging up, Jiang Lingxi went outside to tell Aibosi Koli that there were two people on the rooftop of Tang Palace who needed to be picked up. Without hesitation, the other party nodded and turned to instruct the Guard Captain to arrange it.

At the moment, the doctor was examining Hemier and Guan Yuan. One by one, after inspecting them, he hesitated to speak up, "They both seem to have just fainted?"

But how did they faint? There were no signs of heavy impact or effects of drugs, leaving the doctor puzzled, unable to make sense of it.

Jiang Lingxi was about to return to the room to watch over Shen Yunqing, who, without any surprises, should wake up soon. Just as she turned, Aibosi Koli stopped her.

"Miss Jiang, about Hemier and this gentleman..."

Jiang Lingxi wasn’t planning to pay attention, but since she was stopped, "Once my friend finishes inside, they will check on them."

Aibosi Koli could only nod.

Even their family doctor couldn’t determine the cause, so sending them to the hospital would be no use.

If it’s not one of those reasons, it could only be the mysterious Hua State mages’ doing.

She could only rely on Jiang Lingxi’s friend.

"Is there anything else I can assist with?"

Being reliant on someone, she lowered her posture a bit more.

Jiang Lingxi thought for a moment, then looked at Wu Jue.

Wu Jue said, "We need a secluded and quiet place; Wu Hua’s corpse cannot be handled in the usual manner. And everything in this room stained with her blood must be handled by me alone."

Everyone still standing in the hall: "..."

Vini subconsciously clung to her grand-aunt’s clothes, trying to maintain her composure.

Gu Qiantong couldn’t take it anymore and directly collapsed onto the ground.

She was dead, that mysterious woman was actually dead!

Was it Jiang Lingxi who killed her?

Jiang Lingxi really dared to kill!

But at the moment, no one paid attention to her.

Aibosi Koli was also shocked.

She thought at most they would capture the woman, never expected her to be dead.

That Miss Jiang was indeed decisive and ruthless!

Coming back to her senses, she quickly nodded, "I’ll arrange it right away."

Not arranging it wasn’t an option, after all, the person died in Aibosi Manor, and this matter was also linked to the Aibosi family’s eldest son and eldest daughter, so it couldn’t just be ignored.

Glancing at the still fainted and waiting-to-be-rescued Hemier, she seized the opportunity to say, "I also hope you all can stay at Aibosi Manor for a few more days. We have our own medical team, which could facilitate the gentleman inside in recovering."

"Then we’ll impose."

Aibosi Koli immediately gave orders to prepare accommodations for the guests overnight. Jiang Lingxi, upon turning around at the door to the room, met a pair of eyes looking at her.

The previously somber and stern face finally showed a hint of joy, "You’re awake!"
