Chapter 181: Chapter 181: You Guys, Truly Disgust Me

Lu Xiao did not leave the village immediately; after bidding farewell to Situ Panshi, he made a trip to Ali’s house.

Ali’s grandfather had gone out to the fields, leaving Ali alone in the yard, tearing apart corn husks.

Upon seeing Lu Xiao, Ali immediately dropped the corn husks and ran over.

"Big Brother Xiao!"

"Yeah." Lu Xiao crouched down and gently ruffled Ali’s hair.

"Is Big Brother Xiao leaving?" Ali suddenly asked.

Children’s perceptions were always so keen.

Lu Xiao nodded, "Yes, my body’s completely healed, I need to get going. My family and friends must be worried."

Ali pouted and said nothing.

She actually wanted Big Brother Xiao to stay, but hearing that his family and friends would be worried, she found herself unable to speak.

"Then okay, Brother Xiao, you have to come back and visit Ali, okay?"

Looking at Ali’s eyes, already shimmering with tears, Lu Xiao’s heart was full of reluctance as well.

"Ali, how about, you come with Brother Xiao?" Lu Xiao suddenly said.

Ali’s parents were already deceased, and her grandfather was getting old; in a few years, Ali was likely to become an orphan.

She would probably follow her master in the future, after all, her master did say he wanted to take Ali as his disciple.

It would be better for Ali to follow him rather than the old man.

The old man could teach, and I, Lu Xiao, could teach too, and even better.

After all, I am now almost a Heavenly Man myself.

Ali’s eyes widened round with excitement, clearly tempted, but at the same time hesitant.

"If Ali leaves... Grandpa will be all alone," Ali murmured softly.

"Ali, go with your Brother Xiao," an old voice came from the doorway just as Ali was about to refuse.

It was Ali’s grandfather.

The old man had just come back from the field, carrying a hoe on his shoulder, his walk somewhat shaky.

"Grandpa, Ali won’t leave, Ali will take care of you," said Ali as she ran to the doorway to take the hoe from her grandfather’s hand.

The old man chuckled and patted Ali on the head.

"Grandpa doesn’t need Ali’s care; what Grandpa wants most is for Ali to go to school and then make a lot of money. How about you go with your Brother Xiao, and after you, Little Ali, grow up, you come back to visit Grandpa?"

Ali fell silent for a few seconds, then her gaze grew more and more resolute.

"Ali will definitely make a lot of money, then build a beautiful house for Grandpa!"

"You’re a good kid, Ali."

Lu Xiao felt a lump in his throat, knowing that by the time Ali grew up, the old man would likely have long been buried.

Half an hour later, Lu Xiao, after all, left the village with Ali.

Several of Ali’s friends came to see her off, including her best friend Juanjuan and Huhu, who had turned from foe to friend.

...

Su Tianzhen was dead, killed by Lu Tiankou’s hand.

Liu Mingshu was in a dire state as well, her body drenched in blood, barely standing.

Two days ago, she had become a Heavenly Man, but her realm was not yet stable. Facing both Situ Yan and Lu Tiankou at the same time, she was inevitably overpowered.

"Liu Mingshu, drop your sword and come back to the Situ Family with me!" Situ Yan’s sword touched Liu Mingshu’s throat.

Of course, she didn’t want to kill Liu Mingshu; she wanted Liu Mingshu to return to the Situ Family.

Liu Mingshu’s eyes lifted slightly, her expression scornful.

Return to the Situ Family?

How ridiculous! Utterly laughable!

"Heavenly Man of Situ, do it. She’s prepared to die," Lu Tiankou interjected from the side.

Allowing Liu Mingshu to return to the Situ Family couldn’t happen, because then, the Situ Family would boast three Heavenly Men.

How then could the Lu Family ever fight against the Situ Family?

"If you’re willing to return to the Situ Family, I will help you kill Lu Tiankou," Situ Yan suddenly offered a condition.

Lu Tiankou was completely stunned; damn it, Situ Yan, must you be so treacherous!

"Lu Tiankou, guess whether I’ll agree?" Liu Mingshu suddenly turned to look at Lu Tiankou, her bloodstained face bearing a strange smile.

Lu Tiankou swallowed hard, truly wanting to turn and flee in that moment.

If Liu Mingshu nodded, Situ Yan would definitely not hesitate to strike at him.

"You see, you’re always like this, cold-blooded and treacherous; for the sake of gain, you would resort to any means, and for the so-called face, you would distort right and wrong."

"You, truly disgust me."

"Utterly disgusting!"

Having said that, Liu Mingshu raised her arm, swung her sword to ward off Situ Yan, and then slashed at her with the sword.

Many present had already turned away, unable to watch anymore; Liu Mingshu was already at the end of her tether, and the sword thrust she made had no threat at all, she was clearly courting death.

"Enough." Sensing Liu Mingshu’s resoluteness, Situ Yan sighed deeply.

Since she was unwilling to return to the Situ Family, Liu Mingshu... could only die.
