Chapter 609: Chapter 609: Meeting with the Monarch Again_1

Shen Yongji escaped quickly, racing away from the Shen family at the fastest speed. However, no matter how fast he ran, he was far from matching the speed of Su Chengyu and Shen Junrou in their sword flight.

As soon as Shen Yongji left the main gate of the Shen family mansion, a sword Qi fell, blocking his path of escape.

Su Chengyu landed with Shen Junrou on his flying sword. Shen Yongji’s face turned pale with fear. He said in terror, "Su Cheng! I did not wrong you in any way. Why must you be against me? What will it take for you to let me go?"

Shen Yongji was afraid of death, but he was very clear that against Su Chengyu, he did not stand a chance.

Su Chengyu scoffed, "Have you not coveted my secret techniques? Dare you say that if given the opportunity, you wouldn’t strike me down?"

Shen Yongji, of course, was unwilling to admit it. Su Chengyu didn’t feel like wasting more words with him either. He swung the Dragon Slayer Sword and a wave of sword Qi sliced through the air. It was fierce and unstoppable.

Shen Yongji was also unwilling to die without a fight. He exerted all his martial arts to resist. After exchanging over a dozen blows, Shen Yongji was unable to withstand Su Chengyu’s onslaught. He was struck by a sword Qi, which left a wound deep enough to see bone on his chest, and blood gushed out.

Shen Junrou stood at a distance, watching Shen Yongji get injured and lose. Unable to bear the sight of Shen Yongji being killed, she shut her eyes and turned her head away.

Shen Yongji looked at the wound on his chest, he knew his death was certain. Holding his chest, blood seeping through his fingers, he let out an angered roar, lifted a huge stone lion at the entrance of the Shen family mansion, and hurled it towards Su Chengyu. In the next move, he kicked another stone lion, sending it flying as well.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Yongji looked at Shen Junrou with a grim face, who was seething with murderous intent, and said, "You little wretch! It’s all because of you! You led to the ruin of my family. If I’m going to die today, I won’t let you live either."

Knowing that he was sure to die, Shen Yongji, in his dying breath, wanted to kill Shen Junrou to vent his hatred. He exerted all his energy, and threw a punch towards Shen Junrou.

Although Shen Junrou had learned some martial arts with her mentor, she was only at an amateur level, barely able to defend herself. Faced with Shen Yongji’s enraged attack, she had no ability to resist.

If she were to be hit by the punch, she would certainly die.

Shen Junrou opened her eyes. Reflecting in her pupils were the grim face and the potent punch of Shen Yongji. She stayed still, not showing slightest sign of panic or fear on her face.

On her face, there was even a hint of relief and liberation. The events of today had dissolved all her grudges and resentments. There was no regret left. Life or death had become insignificant to her.

Shen Junrou closed her eyes and prepared for the end in a relaxed state of mind.

"Wretch! Die!"

Shen Yongji was fierce, but Su Chengyu appeared just in time, thwarting Shen Yongji’s final plan completely.

Su Chengyu flew in front of Shen Junrou, formed a hand seal and cast a sword technique. The Dragon Slayer Sword shone brilliantly, shattering Shen Yongji’s punch and the sword pierced through his chest, sending his body flying, nailing him to a pillar below the plaque of the Shen Mansion.

Shen Yongji’s eyes widened, he let out a gurgling sound, coughed up blood, and died with a look of resentment and unwillingness.

Su Chengyu beckoned with his finger, recalling the Dragon Slayer Sword. Shen Yongji’s body slid down from the column and lay across the entrance of the Shen Mansion.

Shen Junrou opened her eyes, looked at the dead Shen Yongji, feeling a myriad of emotions.

She felt no sadness, nor joy at avenging herself, her face was calm.

"Let’s go."

Su Chengyu took Shen Junrou away from the Shen family mansion to the Kindness Hall Clinic. Throughout the journey, Shen Junrou didn’t say a word and Su Chengyu had no clue what she was thinking.

In the backyard of the clinic, Shen Junrou brewed a pot of tea and sat down with Su Chengyu, quietly sipping it.

"I killed your biological father. Do you hate me?" Su Chengyu asked.

Shen Junrou set down her teacup, "Thank you for saving me and avenging my mother."

"It seems like you’re not very happy," Su Chengyu remarked.

Shen Junrou pulled up the fringe on her forehead revealing a hideous scar on her face. She leaned her cheek on her hands, "I have dreamed countless times of being able to face the Shen family with open pride, to retrieve justice for my mother, and to let those who have bullied me get their punishment. This was my greatest wish. Now that it has been fulfilled, I don’t know why, other than feeling relieved and liberated, I can’t feel any joy or smiles."

Su Chengyu thought for a while and said, "Perhaps it’s because you haven’t fully freed yourself yet. What are your plans next?"

"To leave Suifeng, or the Shen family won’t let me go," said Shen Junrou.

"I have some connections in Lin Jiang. It’s a safe place and it is also far away from Suifeng. If you have no other place in mind, you can go to Lin Jiang and open a clinic there, continue doing what you like," Su Chengyu suggested.

Shen Junrou took a sip of the tea and calmly responded, "Thank you for your kindness. You’ve already helped me a lot, and for that, I am grateful. I want to follow in the footsteps of my mentor, to become a traveling doctor, tasting various herbs, accepting whatever life throws at me, experiencing the great beauty of our homeland, and learning about more cultures."

"If you are ever tired of wandering, you can visit Lin Jiang and see if it’s a good place for you to settle down and spend the rest of your life," said Su Chungyu, nodding slightly.

Shen Junrou gave a small mysterious smile, "Alright, that sounds good. I’ll keep that in mind. If I ever get tired, maybe I’ll visit Lin Jiang. If it is indeed a good place, I’ll settle down there."

"Lin Jiang is a beautiful city. You’ll like it."

Su Chengyu gave Shen Junrou his contact information and stood up to leave. Before leaving, he suddenly remembered something and turned around to say, "By the way, my real name is not Su Cheng, it’s Su Chengyu."

Having said that, Su Chengyu’s face changed instantly, transforming back to his original look.

Shen Junrou took out her phone, snapped a quick photo and smiled softly, "Hmm, you’re quite handsome. I’ll keep this photo."

"Remember to take the medicine I gave you. The scars on your face will completely heal," reminded Su Chengyu.

Shen Junrou touched her face and said, "I think the way I look now is safer for me when I travel in the jianghu (martial arts world). It can help me avoid unnecessary trouble."

Su Chengyu didn’t say anything more, waved goodbye to Shen Junrou, and left.

"Su Chengyu, the world of martial arts is vast, and each of us has a long road ahead. Take care and we shall meet again if fate designs it so!"

Shen Junrou stood in the yard, shouting to the back of Su Chengyu.

Su Chengyu, with his back to her, waved his hand, and left nonchalantly.
