Chapter 238: Chapter 238: So That’s How It Is

Upon his furious shout, Ding Wei trembled all over in fright.

Ding Wei dared not conceal anything further and hurriedly said, "Except for Third Master, I have not told anyone else."

Upon receiving this reply, Murong Fu’s expression instantly turned deathly pale, and he seemed to age significantly.

If Ding Wei had indeed revealed their whereabouts only to Murong Jing, then it meant that the assassins he encountered soon after arriving in Jiangcheng City were arranged by Murong Jing.

The thought of this outcome caused Murong Fu to feel as if his heart had been viciously stabbed, and he was in unbearable pain.

Murong Mingyue and the others all wore looks of shock on their faces; they were not fools and naturally understood what the answer implied.

Everyone looked at Murong Fu without saying a word.

Qin Chuan felt some emotions welling up inside. Was this the internal strife of a top-tier noble house?

Images from when he was four, ruthlessly abandoned by his birth father and thrown into the Kunlun Divine Prison, suddenly emerged in his mind.

Was he discarded just because the Qin Family deemed him to lack a spiritual root?

What kind of family was the Qin Family that had discarded him?

Was there a hidden reason as to why he was abandoned back then?

"Grandfather!"

Murong Mingyue looked at Murong Fu with worry and called out.

Murong Fu forced a weak smile and said, "Don’t worry, grandfather is not so fragile."

After saying that, he went straight to Qin Chuan and said earnestly, "Thank you, Mr. Qin, for saving my life!"

Qin Chuan responded indifferently, "It was merely an exchange of interests. If the Murong Family Head wants to thank someone, thank your granddaughter."

The Shen Nongding that Murong Mingyue had given him was a spiritual instrument that could increase the chances and quality of pill formation.

And all he had done was save Murong Fu’s life; in his view, he was the one who had benefited.

Murong Mingyue’s face immediately lit up with pride as she looked at Murong Fu and said, "Grandfather, didn’t I say Mr. Qin could cure you? If I hadn’t asked Grandfather Lu to help persuade you, you certainly wouldn’t have agreed to come to Jiangcheng City."

"Haha!"

Murong Fu let out a hearty laugh, fondly ruffled Murong Mingyue’s hair, and said with a smile, "When we go back, I’ll note a great merit for you."

After he spoke, his gaze swept over everyone and he said in a stern voice, "Many people probably think I am dead. We will keep the news of me being alive a secret for now, not a single word is to be leaked outside!"

"Yes!"

Yu Lin and Master Feng quickly responded.

Murong Mingyue’s smile instantly disappeared, her face serious as she said, "Grandfather, without you, the Murong Family will fall into chaos."

Murong Fu’s face showed unprecedented seriousness as he said solemnly, "The situation of the Murong Family is very grim, there are internal troubles as well as great external threats."

"I don’t even know who poisoned me with the Gu, and within the family, the infighting is endless."

"Now, I want to see what kind of state the Murong Family will be in if I were dead."

Upon hearing Murong Fu’s words, Murong Mingyue and Yu Lin, among others, all showed shocked expressions.

Was Murong Fu suggesting that he was going to watch the Murong Family decline with his own eyes?

Murong Fu’s face regained a bit of a gentle smile as he looked at Murong Mingyue and said, "Don’t worry, I am just not returning to the family for the time being. When the time is right, I will go back."

"For the next while, I will stay here in Jiangcheng City. Yu Lin can stay; Mingyue, you take Master Feng back to Yandu first!"

Master Feng quickly responded, "Yes, Family Head!"

Murong Mingyue’s eyes instantly reddened as she said, "Grandfather, if you don’t return, Uncle is sure to use me to ally with some major family through marriage in order to better control the Murong Family."

A sharp light flashed in Murong Fu’s eyes as he said coldly, "He wouldn’t dare!"

Ding Wei had been silent the whole time, but upon hearing Murong Fu’s arrangements, the fear in his heart intensified.

Murong Fu had plans for everyone but had not told him to do anything.

"Family Head, I will also stay by your side,"

Ding Wei said anxiously.

He was smart, under such circumstances, it was virtually impossible to leave Murong Fu’s sight, now the only option was to stay by Murong Fu’s side, to put Murong Fu’s mind at ease.

Murong Fu’s last look at Ding Wei was filled with complexity, then he suddenly said, "One betrayal is enough for a lifetime of disuse! What’s more, you’re someone who has already caused my death once."

He suddenly closed his eyes and said, "After all, he did relieve me of much pain, let his departure not be too painful!"

Clearly, these words were directed at Yu Lin.

Ding Wei’s expression changed dramatically in an instant.

He was just about to speak when Yu Lin appeared before him like a demon, grabbing his neck and lifting him off the ground.

"Crack!"

Along with a crisp sound of breaking bones, Ding Wei’s eyes began to glaze over.

It was only in the moment before his death that he realized his regret, but it was all too late.

Only then did Murong Fu open his eyes, his eyes reddening slightly, and he instructed Master Feng, "Have the body cremated here in Jiangcheng City, and then take his ashes back with you!"

Master Feng was at first stunned, but then quickly understood; Murong Jing had ordered them to bring back Murong Fu’s cremated remains to Yandu, and if he and Mingyue returned empty-handed, it would definitely raise Murong Jing’s suspicions.

Conveniently, Ding Wei’s ashes could be used as a stand-in.

Master Feng quickly responded, "Yes!"

"Let’s go!"

Murong Fu said, and then took the lead and walked ahead.

But at that moment, Ding Wei, whose neck had supposedly been twisted and broken by Yu Lin, suddenly opened his eyes wide and stood straight up from the ground, then lunged toward Murong Fu.

"Family Head, be careful!"

Master Feng, who had been about to carry away the body of Yu Lin, could never have anticipated that Ding Wei was still alive. It was too late to stop him, so he could only shout a warning.

Upon hearing Master Feng’s words, Yu Lin almost reflexively moved to protect Murong Fu.

But everything was already too late, the speed at which Ding Wei was moving was extremely rapid; by the time Master Feng issued the warning, Ding Wei had already charged in front of Murong Fu.

He held a dagger in his hand and drove it viciously toward Murong Fu’s heart.

"No!"

Mingyue’s eyes widened, her face filled with a scream of despair.

Both Yu Lin and Master Feng also showed looks of horror, as they burst forth, using all their strength to rush toward Ding Wei.

The next second, a young figure appeared almost instantaneously in front of Murong Fu, and with a kick, he went towards Ding Wei.

"Bang!"

With a dull thud, the spot where Qin Chuan kicked Ding Wei caved in deeply, sending his body flying several meters to crash heavily against the wall.

What left everyone stunned was that after suffering such a heavy blow, Ding Wei quickly got up again and charged towards Murong Fu.

"How is this possible?"

Master Feng’s face displayed total disbelief.

Yu Lin was equally shocked; he may not have taken Qin Chuan’s kick himself, but he could infer its strength from the speed at which Ding Wei was sent flying.

It wasn’t just Ding Wei—even he, if hit by Qin Chuan’s kick, would have been either dead or severely injured.

Ding Wei was just a physician, with no Martial Path Cultivation at all, how could he possibly do this?

"Hmm?"

Qin Chuan’s gaze turned cold, and he said in a chilling voice, "So that’s how it is!"

As his words fell, Ding Wei charged toward Murong Fu’s direction once again.
