At the Xia Family home in Heaven City.
In the courtyard, the wind blew and the leaves fell. Xia Qi's face was gloomy and his thoughts were unknown. However, his eyes were clearly filled with a sinister and malicious intent. His pursed lips curled into a cold smile which was eerily cold.
Suddenly, an old man dressed in green robes entered the courtyard, talking and laughing. Standing next to him was a young girl dressed in green robes. The young girl's features were delicate, her eyes were clear like water and her face carried a faint smile. Even though she was not a beauty that could cause the downfall of cities and countries, she made people feel at ease.
However, when he saw the two of them, Xia Qi's expression grew increasingly cold. His heart was filled with dissatisfaction and jealousy.
On what basis?
That little b * stard, Xia Linyu, had taken all of this old man's love. He could even treat an outsider with such gentleness. Why does he have to keep a straight face in front of his own son?
As he thought about it, Xia Qi took a deep breath and retracted the malice in his eyes. His sleeves fluttered in the wind as he walked towards Master Xia, "Father, you've finally returned. This must be the Master of the Hundred Herb Hall, Gu Ruoyun? You are indeed an outstanding talent, I've looked forward to meeting you for a long time. "
His face carried a gentle smile but no one noticed that his hands, which were hidden in his sleeves, were clenched into fists. His heart was filled with an unquenchable rage.
That bastard Elder Zhao was truly useless. Not only did he not get rid of this woman, he even allowed the old man to bring her home. This way, it would be much more difficult to kill her.
Most importantly, he had already sent a message to Azure Dragon Country, saying that Xia Linyu of the Xia family had murdered Gu Ruoyun! Soon, the people from the Hundred Herb Hall would catch up to Xia Linyu...
So before that happens, Gu Ruoyun must die!
"Xia Qi, what are you doing here?"
Master Xia looked at Xia Qi who was standing in the middle of the courtyard and frowned in dissatisfaction. He scowled and said coldly, "You don't do any proper work all day long, you only wander about outside. Hurry up and get back to your cultivation! You can't even compare to a junior like Yu'er. Even though he was once a good-for-nothing, he never gave up on cultivation. But look at you, you only know how to make friends with scoundrels. Especially that Elder Zhao, he's nothing! If it weren't for his relationship with you, how could he have entered the Xia family? From now on, don't bother yourself with the internal affairs of the Xia Family. Go read more books and cultivate more. "
These words were equivalent to taking away all of Xia Qi's authority.
Immediately, the hands in his sleeves tightened even more and even began to tremble slightly. However, no matter how angry he was, the smile on his face did not change. He gently said, "Father's teachings are correct. Your son will listen to your teachings and will leave first."
The moment he turned around, the smile on his face slowly darkened. His eyes surged with the flames of unwillingness and anger, but in the end, he restrained himself and did not explode.
Because it wasn't time yet …
From the beginning to the end, Gu Ruoyun had not said a word. She watched Xia Qi's departing figure as an obscure light flashed in her eyes.
"Ah!"
"Ahhhh!"
Just then, a heart-wrenching cry rang out from the courtyard in front of them, causing Master Xia's expression to quickly change. He no longer cared about Gu Ruoyun and rushed towards the source of the sound.
...
In the room, a man clutched his head in agony and slammed his head against the wall. The people behind him tried to pull him back but before they could even touch him, a powerful aura exploded from his body and sent everyone flying with a bang.
Blood flowed down his skull, it was a ghastly sight. Yet he did not seem to notice it as he continued to slam his head against the incomparably hard wall.
