Chapter 375: The Death of Master Xu and Qin Ruan's Burning Anger


At the moment the secret room's door closed, a brilliant golden light filled the room.


Dazzling and sacred radiance emerged from the Buddha bead tightly held in Third Master's hand.


The golden light penetrated through the crack in the door, making it difficult for Hou Chuan and Ling Xuzi, who stood at the doorway, to see inside.


Upon hearing movement from inside, both of them let out a sigh of relief.


Ling Xuzi furrowed his brows and slowly relaxed them, saying, "Let's wait upstairs and hope that Third Young Master will come out tomorrow."


"Indeed!" Hou Chuan stared at the tightly shut door, his tone slightly grave.


With Third Young Master being calculated right under their noses, even the Hou family's secret guards would find it hard to escape responsibility this time.


Hou Chuan and Ling Xuzi left the basement with thoughts weighing heavily on their minds.


Returning to the spacious living room, Huo Chuan asked Ling Xuzi, "Third Master didn't have direct contact with anyone, and even his meals were screened layer by layer. How could he still be manipulated?"


Ling Xuzi tidied his blood-stained Tang suit and spoke in a deep voice, "It may be because Third Young Master encountered someone from the Yin-Yang Sect this time."


Hou Chuan looked puzzled, a hint of murderous intent appearing on his face. "The Yin-Yang Sect?"


Ling Xuzi furrowed his brow, his expression somewhat grim. "It's a sect from the Southern Seas. They primarily focus on cultivating demonic energy and have dealings with demons throughout their sect. Most of their people offer sacrifices to demons in exchange for great power, which is different from the malevolent energy we Xuanmen practitioners often come into contact with."


Huo Chuan remembered a few years ago when Third Young Master was surrounded by nearly a hundred wizards in the United States. It was the mysterious power on his body that forced them to retreat, resulting in over half of the wizards being killed or injured.


During that incident, Third Master also fell into a coma.


Because there wasn't enough time to return to the country, they left Third Young Master alone in the room and strictly forbade anyone from entering.


The next day, Third Master regained consciousness and walked out of the room.


This time, encountering demonic energy, could they still wait for Third Young Master to emerge from the secret room unharmed?


Hou Chuan's expression wasn't very good. "How dangerous is the demonic energy to Third Young Master?"


Ling Xuzi shook his head. "It's still unclear. Third Young Master was manipulated this time, and it should be related to him removing the Buddha bead."


The Buddha bead was crucial to Third Young Master. It was his life-saving treasure, a companion born with him.


Huo Chuan recalled the various details that happened at the Nangong family and said in a low voice, "When Master Xu wanted to harm Madam and Third Master removed the Buddha bead to block him, there was no physical contact between them."


Without any physical contact, Hou Chuan couldn't understand how Third Young Master was manipulated.


"Let's wait until Third Young Master wakes up tomorrow to discuss it further. The situation is not favorable this time. Third Master hasn't entered the secret room for many years, and if this continues, his already not-so-long lifespan will..." Ling Xuzi shook his head gently, unable to continue his words.


Hou Chuan could sense the unspoken words behind his statement.


Qin Ruan and Hou Yirong walked in and overheard Ling Xuzi and Hou Chuan's conversation.


"Is Third Young Master alone in the dark room? Can I go in?" Qin Ruan worried about Hou Yunjiao injuries.


"No, you can't!" 


Ling Xu Zi, Hou Chuan, and Hou Yirong almost simultaneously voiced their disagreement.


Qin Ruan frowned, her expression not looking good. "Why not?"


Ling Xu Zi and Hou Chuan didn't explain, but Hou Yirong gently said to Qin Ruan, "Third Brother's condition is special. No one is allowed near him when he is in the dark room. Sister, be patient for one more night, maybe Third Brother will come out tomorrow, and you'll be able to see him then."


Qin Ruan was still worried, recalling the scene where Third Lord coughed up blood. Her heart felt as if it was being pricked by needles, not excessively painful but enough to be distressing.


Suppressing the discomfort in her heart, she asked with concern, "Are you sure it's safe to leave Third Lord alone in the dark room? Won't there be any problems?"


"No, if someone disturbs him in the dark room, that's when problems will arise."


After Huo Yi Rong finished speaking, she beckoned to the men behind her, who were holding onto Master Xu.


The Hou family's secret guards, who were dragging Master Xu, threw him carelessly into the hall.


Master Xu's tongue had been cut, rendering him unable to speak properly. The blood that stained his mouth was not as horrifying as before, but he still looked disheveled.


Hou Yirong pointed at the agonizing and sobbing Master Xu on the ground and asked Qin Ruan, "Sister, what do you plan to do with this person?"


Qin Ruan's dim eyes stared fixedly at Master Xu. "Kill him!"


Her voice was cold, and her words were merciless.


Hou Yirong's handsome face momentarily twisted, filled with confusion. "You brought him back just to kill him?"


It would be better to leave him at the Nangong family and let them clean up this mess.


Qin Ruan raised her eyes and looked at Huo Yi Rong as if he were a fool. "If I don't kill him, how will I find out from his mouth when Third Young Master was schemed against?"


Ling Xu Zi's face showed disapproval, and he spoke to advise her. "Friend Qin, killing someone will bear karmic consequences. You should consider it carefully."


Qin Ruan couldn't help but sneer at his words. "Third Master was schemed against, and he coughed up blood right under my nose. You want me to consider it carefully? Why didn't they consider it carefully when they plotted against him?"


She stared directly into Ling Xu Zi's eyes, exuding a chilling aura. Even the thin summer fabric couldn't withstand her icy gaze.


Though their encounter was brief, Ling Xu Zi clearly saw that Qin Ruan appeared meek on the surface but was actually a ruthless woman inside.


Her ruthlessness wasn't exposed, but when her anger ignited, a powerful and chilling aura emanated from her.


Seeing Qin Ruan's resolute attitude, Ling Xu Zi knew he couldn't stop her and shook his head gently.


Qin Ruan walked toward Master Xu, and in his terrified gaze, she reached out and grabbed his neck.


Her eyes flashed with a sinister and ruthless danger, as if she wanted to tear him apart.


Qin Ruan increased the pressure on her grip, her voice cold. "I gave you a chance before, now go to hell!"


A wicked curve formed on her crimson lips, and her exquisite face showed indifference, as if she


 despised all living beings in the world.


"Mmm...!"


Master Xu struggled with all his might, but he couldn't escape Qin Ruan's grasp, not even by a hair's breadth.


In Qin Ruan's hands, Master Xu was like a lamb being slaughtered, his life rapidly fading away.

Xu Zhenren couldn't breathe, his bloodied face twisted and ferocious.


However, before Qin Ruan could deliver a fatal blow to Xu Zhenren, his eyes rolled back, revealing fear and resentment.


In Qin Ruan's astonished gaze, Xu Zhenren instantly lost his breath.


The onlookers in the hall thought that Qin Ruan had killed Xu Zhenren.


Only Ling Xuzi noticed something and his well-maintained face showed shock.


He quickly approached Qin Ruan and the lifeless Xu Zhenren.


Ling Xuzi's hand rested on Xu Zhenren's neck, but there was no movement.


Xu Zhenren was dead, thoroughly dead.


Qin Ruan's eyes were gloomy, her delicate face extremely unsightly, filled with a chilling aura as she looked down at Xu Zhenren's lifeless body and coldly said, word by word, "I didn't kill him."


Her tone was calm, a statement.


Ling Xuzi looked at Qin Ruan with a complex expression and nodded, "I understand. It was the Yin Yang Sect who made a move."


"The Yin Yang Sect?"


Qin Ruan, like before with Hou Chuan, was unfamiliar with the South Yang Yin Yang Sect.


Ling Xuzi repeated what he had said to Hou Chuan, once again explaining it to Qin Ruan.


After he finished speaking, he lowered his gaze and stared at Xu Zhenren's corpse, speculating, "This person is already dead. It's very likely that the Nangong family feared we would find out something and sought the help of the Yin Yang Sect."


"I have had dealings with the Yin Yang Sect. Every disciple of their sect possesses a life token. The life token is used by the sect to control the lives of their disciples. If something happens to a disciple who is cultivating outside, it can be relayed to the Yin Yang Sect through the life token."


Learning of Xu Zhenren's death, which was likely caused by something the Nangong family did, Qin Ruan stared at the body beneath her feet, her eyes neither smiling nor frowning.


Her ink-like eyes were filled with anger and a wicked aura. "Even if he's dead, I will extract the truth from his mouth!"


Being able to injure Third Young Master right under her nose, Qin Ruan had to investigate thoroughly and find out the reasons.


To prevent a similar incident from happening again.


Qin Ruan activated her Heavenly Eye and searched for Xu Zhenren's soul within the room.


For a recently deceased person, their spirit and soul would still linger in the mortal realm. They wouldn't be taken away by the underworld's ghosts so quickly.


Qin Ruan's irises radiated a faint golden light, emanating an immense pressure.


Her delicate face showed a fierce and ruthless expression as her eyes scanned the hall, but she couldn't find Xu Zhenren's soul.


Hou Yirong stepped forward curiously and asked, "Little sister, what are you looking for?"


Qin Ruan replied in a deep voice, "I'm looking for Xu Zhenren's soul!"


She searched every corner of the living room but couldn't find Xu Zhenren's spirit. It left her perplexed.


The reason she brought Xu Zhenren back from the Nangong family was to extract the truth from him about how they plotted against Third Young Master.


Now that the person was dead and his soul couldn't be found, it seemed like all her efforts were in vain.

How can Qin Ruan be willing? She tightly clenched her fists.


Suddenly, a proud and cold smile appeared on her face, and a chilling aura emanated from her.


The bone-chilling coldness expanded infinitely, oppressing everyone present.


Hou Yirong, who was closest to Qin Ruan, couldn't help but touch her sleeve, revealing the skin on her forearm.


The air grew strangely colder, giving off an indescribable sense of gloom.


Qin Ruan closed her eyes tightly and parted her red lips, saying, "The Ten Halls of Yama command me to kill demons, with my divine methods, to drive my slaughter. What god can't bow down, what ghost dares to challenge? The Ten Halls of Yama urgently decree!"


Ling Xu Zi, who was standing beside her, couldn't maintain a calm expression with each word Qin Ruan uttered.


He stared at Qin Ruan with wide eyes, his face showing a mixture of shock, surprise, and horror. "The command of the Ten Halls of Yama!"


No one present knew about the command of the Ten Halls of Yama. They only felt their bodies surrounded by a chilling aura and wanted to escape from this place.


However, their feet felt heavy, making it impossible for them to move.


They were like acupoints being sealed, unable to budge from their original positions.


A powerful and chilling aura pervaded the living room, stronger and colder than any previous time Qin Ruan had summoned messengers from the netherworld.


Ling Xu Zi, Hou Yirong, Hou Chuan, Hou Zhi, and others were enveloped in a dense black mist.


They were trapped in the black and cold mist, unable to see anything clearly, only hearing the sound of chains dragging in the darkness.


The sound was eerie and eerie, sending a shiver down one's spine from the depths of their soul.


It was as if they were surrounded by the breath of death. Intense coldness surged up their backs, causing involuntary goosebumps.


"Miss Qin, what's happening?"


Two tall figures emerged from the darkness.

 Chapter 450: The Silver Left by Shu Yu

After the old lady finished speaking, she led the way towards the city gate.

She stumbled slightly, and Da Ya quickly went over to support her. "Grandma, take it slow."

On the way back home, no one said a word, and their emotions seemed incredibly low.

Even after returning to Liufang Lane and entering the house, the old lady and the others lacked energy and had no desire to do anything.

With Shu Yu gone, they all seemed to have lost their souls.

They didn't know how much time had passed when Lu Erbai wiped his face and said, "I'm going to the shop."

With Shu Yu gone, they had to work harder to earn money.

Ruan Shi also thought the same and raised her head to wash her face. "I'll go to the tailoring room."

Today, Da Hu took a half-day leave, so he didn't have to rush to the school. But he still clenched his fists and said, "I, I'll do my homework."

San Ya also wanted to go, and the little girl hurriedly ran inside.

Just then, Lu Erbai, who was changing clothes in the house, suddenly called out, "Mother, quickly come in."

The old lady heard his urgent shout and quickly walked inside. "What's the matter? Why are you so flustered?"

The others followed behind, and as soon as they entered, they saw Lu Erbai holding a cloth bag and a letter in his hand.

"What's going on?"

Lu Erbai handed the cloth bag over with a dazed expression. "Mother, take a look."

The old lady suspiciously opened it, took a glance, and quickly closed the bag again. "This, this..."

She hurriedly asked Da Hu and San Ya, who had come in behind, to leave first. Although the children were sensible, they were still too young. If they accidentally said something, it could lead to trouble.

Once the two children had left, Lu Erbai said, "It's left by Ah Yu. There's also a letter."

The old lady took the letter and quickly remembered that she couldn't read. She promptly handed it back. "You read it aloud."

Lu Erbai had learned quite a few characters over the past few days, and Shu Yu's letter was simple, so he quickly began to read it.

After a while, he said, "This is left by Ah Yu. Ah Yu said that she obtained something valuable a few days ago and sold it, earning quite a bit of silver. This bag contains two thousand taels, for us to use in times of need."

Two thousand taels? Everyone present gasped in disbelief. The old lady had only seen several banknotes and some silver pieces in the bag earlier, and she didn't know the exact amount. But now, hearing that it was so much, she almost fainted.

"How did she come by so much silver?" Obtained something valuable? What kind of valuable thing could be sold for such a high price?
Actually, Shu Yu originally only intended to leave one thousand taels. For the Lu family, that amount of money was already sufficient.

The main reason was that she didn't know when she would return. She was afraid that if she only left one thousand taels, the Lu family would think that she had left all her money behind and would worry that she wouldn't have enough money for her journey. They might even have unnecessary thoughts.

By leaving two thousand taels, she wanted to let them know that she had extra money on hand, even a lot, so they wouldn't have to worry about her not having enough money for the journey.

Sure enough, the Lu family exchanged glances, feeling that the silver had suddenly become a hot potato.

They had never known that their family was actually... so wealthy.

The old lady quickly handed the money bag to Lu Erbai. "Put it away, hide it well, and don't tell anyone, not even a single person."

 Chapter 449: Shu Yu Departs

Shu Yu didn't have much belongings, just a small bag that she could carry on her back.

The next day, when she woke up, the entire Lu family was standing outside her room, their eyes slightly red.

Not only that, there were also dark circles under their eyes, indicating that they hadn't slept well all night. In these past few days, their spirits had been noticeably low.

Shu Yu smiled and said, "Didn't I say it? At most, it will be six months, and I will definitely come back. Don't worry, I have someone to protect me, and I'm disguised as a man, so traveling will be convenient."

She pointed to her clothes and hairstyle, reassuring them with a calm expression.

Although she said so, they couldn't be comforted by the thought of being separated for six months.

The old lady handed her a purse, "Take this."

"Grandmother?"

"Take it!" the old lady insisted. "They say it's better to have money when you're away from home. There are many situations where money can solve problems. Don't be stubborn and hurt yourself unnecessarily. This money is the income from the shop over the past two months, including the wages we received last month. We've all put it in there. Since all of us are at home and the shop is doing business every day, we won't need much. Take it with you."

Shu Yu felt the weight of the purse in her hand and took a deep breath. "Grandmother, I have money, don't forget about the one thousand..."

"I told you not to keep mentioning one thousand taels. What's the big deal about one thousand taels? What can you do with one thousand taels? What if it's not enough? Take it quickly, otherwise, we won't feel at ease letting you go."

Oh, Grandmother, your tone has become so authoritative. Isn't one thousand taels still a significant sum?

Shu Yu looked at the purse in her hand and smiled, "Okay, I'll accept it. Now you can feel more at ease."

The old lady let out a sigh of relief and gently stroked Shu Yu's head. Her voice gradually choked up, "Be safe on your journey. Remember to come back safely, understand?"

Shu Yu reached out and hugged her, "Grandmother, I'll leave the house to you."

She looked up and then went on to embrace San Ya and Da Hu one by one.

Shu Yu patted their heads, "Alright, I have to go now."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Lu Erbai turned his head, trying to conceal his teary eyes, and went to open the courtyard gate.

Two "female bodyguards" had arrived.

These two were the ones Xiang Weinan had found. They were said to be female bodyguards, but in reality, they didn't possess any martial arts skills. They were only here to show their faces to reassure the Lu family.

The two nodded to Shu Yu, "Miss Lu, it's getting late, let's set off."

Shu Yu tightened her grip on the bag on her shoulder and followed the two out.

The Lu family was worried, so they followed behind until they reached the city gate before stopping.

They bid farewell again, and only then did Shu Yu turn around and directly mount the horse.

She held the reins and turned her head to wave at them, "Go back now, take care of yourselves."

"Have a safe journey."

The Lu family took a few steps chasing after them, watching as the horses gradually distanced themselves, waving their hands in reluctance.

They stood still in a daze until the figures of the three people were completely out of sight.

Unable to hold back any longer, Ruan Shi threw herself into Lu Erbai's arms and burst into tears, "We had just reunited for a few months, and now she suddenly has to leave again, for six months."

She couldn't bear it.

The old lady suppressed her tears and glared at her angrily, "Enough with the crying. Ah Yu will come back, she's not gone forever. Don't bring bad luck upon us."

Arc 2 Chapter 59: Gamer God, Please Don't Tease (16)

Having just met her new neighbor today, she couldn't believe she had shown such a peculiar feat of strength.

"A thief?" Su Xun asked with a slightly raised tone.

If you listened carefully, you could detect a teasing tone in his voice. After all, he had followed Luo Liyan in secret for so many years that he could even recognize her by her voice. Even though he knew that he was her new neighbor, he had no need to be polite to her family, given their attitude towards her.

"Get lost! Where did this wild man come from? I'm definitely not a thief!" Lu Jingze, full of life, stood up. "Luo Liyan, I'm going to tell Mom and Dad that you're cohabitating with another man!"

"Stop talking nonsense. This is my new neighbor!" Luo Liyan's face turned red with embarrassment as she pinched Lu Jingze's thigh hard.

"Ah! Do you want to kill me?" Lu Jingze let out a mournful scream.

Luo Liyan helplessly tugged at the corners of her mouth and glanced at Su Xun. "I'm sorry. My little brother is just too lively."

"I understand." Su Xun replied with a gentle smile gazing at her affectionately. His deep and resolute eyes carried a tenderness that could drown someone.

Luo Liyan's heart raced like a wild deer.

Suddenly, her phone rang, interrupting the pink bubbles that had filled the air between them.

She blinked and quickly lowered her head, avoiding Su Xun's gaze.

The name displayed on the screen made her delicate eyebrows knit like two earthworms.

After hesitating for a few seconds, she took a deep breath and answered the call.

"Hello..."

"Did your little brother run off to find you?" a woman's voice came through arrogantly.

"Yes." Luo Liyan replied cooly.

"First, take good care of Xiao Ze. Let your father calm down before allowing him to come back." the woman ordered, taking it for granted. Then, after a pause, her tone turned impatient. "And how dare you speak to me like that?"

That's how she talks!

Luo Liyan rolled her eyes and retorted in her heart "Lu Jingze can't stay with me, I'll send him back now."

"Mom! Mom! Save me! Luo Liyan is bullying me again!" Upon hearing his mother's phone call, Lu Jingze immediately howled.

"You unfilial daughter, what are you doing bullying your little brother?" her voice grew sharp. "How did I give birth to such an ungrateful money-losing wretch? If something happens to your little brother, I'll break your legs!"

"Heh..." Luo Liyan coldly chuckled, her eyes filled with disdain.

The original owner of this body was truly gullible. Faced with such family members every day, she actually listened to their orders, ruining her life.

"Are you really sure you want to break my legs? Don't forget your precious son is currently in my hands."

The woman fell silent when she heard this.

She knew that if she pushed too hard, this unfilial daughter would not show any mercy to her little brother.

"Now send your little brother back, or do you want your dad to beat him to death?" The woman's tone softened slightly.

"Don't worry, he's reluctant to leave Lu's family's only hope." Luo Liyan said, unimpressed by her mother's demeanor.

There were no loving cards left to play between her and them.

"Besides, Lu Jingze's head needs to be hit hard to wake up."

"You unfilial daughter, Xiao Ze is your real brother!" The woman's warm mask didn't last a minute before breaking.

Arc 2 Chapter 58: Gamer God, Please Don't Tease (15)

He had completely forgotten that he had secretly taken money from Luo Liyan again and again.

"This time, I'm making a secret visit, and I came to this dog's nest to understand the situation. You don't need to be too moved. Just serve me good food and drinks." Lu Jingze declared.

"You're daydreaming here?" Luo Liyan stretched out her leg and kicked Lu Jingze, who was sitting on her small sofa down to the floor. "I warn you, get as far away from me as possible, or else don't blame me for getting rough with you."

Lu Jingze, who had been prepared to complain fell silent upon hearing this and turned red in the face. All he could do was whine softly.

"I need to stay here for a while." he finally spoke a bit meekly.

"Why?" Luo Liyan waved her hand impatiently. "Get as far away from me as possible or else don't blame me for getting rough with you."

After all, she had worked hard to move out of her parents' home to get away from him. There was no way she would let him take over her place.

"Luo Liyan, are you still my sister? You dare to ignore a life-threatening situation?" Lu Jingze pouted, then resorted to a pitiful tone. "Now that you know I'm your brother, when did you start treating me as one? If you cause trouble do you want me to take the blame? Let me tell you, there's no way I'm opening the door!"

"I didn't cause any trouble this time. It's the old man who's stubborn and won't let me participate in professional gaming!" Lu Jingze stood up and walked to the side. "I'm just not cut out for studying. Why should I waste my time? If I were to play professionally, I would definitely win the World Championship trophy."

"Hahaha! With your level, you want to play professionally? Don't make me laugh!" Luo Liyan put her hands on her hips and burst into laughter.

"I've even played games with you, a low-level scrub who barely reached Diamond, and you still want to play professionally? If Z-country's esports depends on people like you, we might as well give up on this competition!" she exclaimed.

"You know squat! I'm a shining Diamond player from Telecom's first region! Do you even know what Telecom's first region is?" Lu Jingze arrogantly pointed at the computer that was turned on. "You, who can only play Plants vs. Zombies, don't understand..."

He stopped mid-sentence, then rushed to the computer in disbelief, checking Luo Liyan's account information.

"Whoa! Whoa! I must be blind! You're actually playing League of Legends!" he exclaimed.

"What's wrong with that?" Luo Liyan snatched the mouse away and pushed him aside. "Why do I need to report to you about what games I'm playing?"

"That's why I've been stuck in Diamond 3 all this time, unable to climb any higher! It's because of you girls who have nothing better to do and are so bad at gaming that you're dragging me down." Lu Jingze grumbled and smacked his lips mockingly.

"Get lost!" Luo Liyan yelled in frustration, and she didn't want to listen to him anymore.

She grabbed Lu Jingze's hand and lifted him onto her shoulders.

"Lu Liryan, I'm going to tell Mom and Dad that you dared to get physical with me!"

"Consider this a successful intervention." Lu Liryan retorted and pinched Lu Jingze who was struggling like mad.

A pig-like scream resonated throughout the entire building.

"Lili?" Su Xun opened the door and looked at her in surprise. "What's going on? Do you need my help?"

"It's nothing!" Luo Liyan replied awkwardly, but inside her heart was racing like a wild horse.
