Seeing their young master die in such a mysterious manner, the guards all took a few steps back in unison. At the same time, they sucked in a breath of cold air. If this matter was known by the city lord, then they would not live to see tomorrow's sun.
The old man with the surname Sun walked out from the crowd at this moment. He did not pay any attention to the corpses on the ground as he directly walked out of the door of the shop. In a flash, he left this place. It was likely that he had already begun to flee for his life.
The other guards looked at each other and had no choice but to accept their fate. One of the men who seemed to be the leader carried the second son of the city lord on his back and glared at Lin Xiu with hatred. Then, he led the large group of people and left.
It wasn't that they didn't want to avenge the Second Young Master, but the difference in strength between the two parties was too great. If they acted rashly, they would only lose their lives in vain and wouldn't be of any help to the development of the situation.
Meanwhile, the streets outside had already been turned upside down. Initially, some people only dared to observe the commotion from afar. However, when the guard carried the second young master of the City Lord's Mansion on his back, everyone gasped in unison. They all understood that something big had happened in Phoenix City.
One must know that in this Phoenix City, the strength of the city lord was the strongest. Generally speaking, everything had the effect of a hammer strike. Even if the city lord was not in the city at this moment and a few of his sons had started to kidnap women, no one dared to really resist. If they did that, it would only cause the whole family to be in trouble.
The crowd completely dispersed and closed their doors. In the following days, no one dared to go out on the streets and could only wait for the return of the city lord and his thunderous rage.
The old man in the shop was still in disbelief. This silly child was actually so strong that even Sun Yutong, who was in the Harmonious Spirit realm, was not his match. But if the city lord really came back, with the strength of the city lord at the peak of the Renyuan realm, this kid would not be able to stand up to him.
"Liu Er, you better hurry up and escape."
The old lady sighed helplessly. Although she liked Lin Xiu very much from the bottom of her heart and even wanted him to be her family, the current situation was out of control. She could only let Lin Xiu escape before the City Lord returned. Maybe there was a chance to save his life.
But the old man did not tell Lin Xiu the truth. If Lin Xiu really escaped, then the enraged city lord would definitely vent his anger on him. At that time, the old man would really have no chance to live.
"Don't be afraid, that city lord is not my match." Lin Xiu still looked a little silly, but he could feel that the old man in front of him was really worried for him, so he went forward and gently held the old man's shoulder while staring at him with clear eyes.
However, the old man was a little angry and fiercely threw Lin Xiu's hand away, then shouted loudly, "You fool, do you know how big of a mess you've made this time? If you don't leave now, I'm afraid you will really die!"
It was the first time Lin Xiu saw the old man angry and couldn't help but feel a little wronged. He sat there with his shoulders slightly trembling. Although the old man could not bear to see Lin Xiu like this, for the sake of Lin Xiu's safety, he deliberately put on a serious face and paced back and forth.
Although he had lived in Phoenix City all his life and had seen many things, the old man was still an ordinary person and did not know the strength of those cultivators. He only knew that the city lord was worthy of being the number one expert in Phoenix City and Lin Xiu had no confidence in surviving in front of him.
After letting out a sigh, the old man closed the door of the shop. Then, he walked into the inner courtyard and started to pack some simple clothes.
When the old man came back to the front courtyard again, there was an extra package in his hand. He stuffed it into Lin Xiu's arms and said softly, "Child, I know you are a good person, but there are too many good people in this world who have no choice. Hurry and run for your life."
The old man's attitude was extremely firm and he pushed Lin Xiu out of the shop.
So Lin Xiu was extremely unwilling, but the old man was particularly persistent. He directly sealed the door of the shop again and resisted the reluctance in his heart. He returned to the inner courtyard and was in a daze.
"Why is this world so unfair? Why can bad people be free and unfettered? After a good person does the right thing, he can't even guarantee his survival. "The old man shook his head and sighed. Two lines of clear tears gradually flowed from his turbid eyes.
Back then, his son had also been like this. He had managed to enter a cultivation sect with great difficulty, but the good times did not last long. Instead, there was bad news. It was said that because his son saw a female disciple in the sect being bullied, he had stood up for her.
Unexpectedly, the background of the bully in the sect was extremely strong. After seizing an opportunity, the bully plotted against the old man's son and killed him. The old man, who was heartbroken, lost his son at an old age and had not been happy all these years.
It was not easy for the heavens to send Lin Xiu to him, gradually giving the old man a glimmer of hope in his life. But now, because of the same reason, the tragedy was likely to happen again.
Closing his eyes silently, the old man began to recall the dribs and drabs of his life with his son. A smile gradually appeared on his face, and then he muttered to himself.
"Liu Yi, in fact, I've always been proud of you. Sometimes, people can't just live for themselves. You were able to step forward bravely, which is a great thing. I'm proud of you."
At that moment, a smile of relief appeared on the old man's face. He had already prepared himself to shoulder all the blame no matter what. He only hoped that the seemingly foolish child would be able to escape successfully.
What the old man didn't know was that not all the guards returned to the City Lord Residence, but many were left behind to secretly observe the situation in the shop. It was to prevent Lin Xiu from escaping. Once the City Lord returned and found that the murderer who killed his son was nowhere to be found, he would definitely be furious. At that time, they would naturally lose their lives.
Lin Xiu stood at the door of the shop in a daze and couldn\'t move at all. He just felt the warmth of the world here and naturally didn\'t want to leave so easily. But he also knew that if he stayed here, he would only cause trouble for the old man\'s disciple. He shook his head and sighed before finally moving his feet.
His movement made the hearts of the hidden guards jump to their throats, for fear that Lin Xiu would leave Phoenix City directly.
They followed quietly all the way and finally found that Lin Xiu did not leave the city but settled down in a remote alley. This made them heave a sigh of relief.
The old man not only put a lot of daily clothes in Lin Xiu's bag, but also some dry food. In addition, he also stuffed all his years of savings into the bag.
Because before Lin Xiu sealed his memory, he had never worried about money, so he subconsciously didn't care so much about it. If he could understand the reason, he would naturally be able to understand the old man's good intentions.
The days passed by. Other than coming back at night to sleep, Lin Xiu spent the rest of the time hiding in the dark and quietly observing the situation of the old man's shop. However, what made him a little puzzled was that ever since he left that day, the shop never opened again.
On this day, Lin Xiu quietly concealed his figure, then went around the street behind the shop and directly flipped over the corner.
Sneaking into his original room, Lin Xiu indeed found that the room was still spotless. It was still the same as when he left.
His heart warmed, Lin Xiu did indeed make up his mind. No matter how the City Lord of Phoenix City did it, he would do his best to not let the old man suffer the slightest injury. After all, this matter was caused by him.
Quietly coming to another room, Lin Xiu finally saw the figure of the old man. At this time, the old man's gray hair was scattered behind his back, and his face was extremely haggard.
The old man was holding a doll in his hand, full of sadness. He gently patted the head of the puppet, then said there, "Liu Yi, do you know that I took in a young man who is a little silly like you a few days ago, but I like him very much."
"This young man looks fair and clean, but his strength is extremely strong. That day, when he saw the second son of the City Lord's Mansion bullying people and taking advantage of women, he directly stepped forward and beat the lackeys of the City Lord's Mansion until they were looking for their teeth on the ground."
The old man looked very happy at the moment. He saw the shadow of his son in Lin Xiu again. If possible, how he wanted that somewhat silly but kind-hearted young man to be able to take care of him in his old age.
"Later, the second son of the City Lord's Mansion brought a lot of people to our shop, wanting to take revenge, but that young man burst out with extraordinary strength again and even directly beat the City Lord's Mansion's consecrator to the ground."
