Over here, the deaths of the three Martial Masters not only alarmed the surrounding cultivators, but also the town's Village Constable.
However, the Village Constable was usually only responsible for maintaining order among the townspeople. He had no way of interfering with the affairs of cultivators, not to mention the fact that the dead were Martial Masters. This made things even more difficult for him.
Thus, he could only think of a way to find out the identities of the three Martial Masters before notifying their clans.
However, the news quickly spread throughout the town. After all, the death of three Martial Masters was no small matter in this town.
Fengjiu didn't care about this. After she returned to the courtyard, she entered her space to cultivate.
The black market mercenaries in the town seemed to have automatically avoided the mission of hunting her down. The next few days passed peacefully, and the two of them were busy cultivating. Until one day, Guan Xilin, who had gone out to buy food, walked into the courtyard in a daze.
"Brother?" Fengjiu, who was practicing Tai Chi in the courtyard, saw that something was wrong with him and called out to him, but he didn't respond.
"Brother?" She called out again, and only then did he suddenly come back to his senses.
"Ah? Xiao Jiu, you called me? " He composed himself and looked at her, forcing a smile. However, he didn't know that his smile was very forced.
"What's wrong? Did something happen? "She walked towards him and asked.
Guan Xilin lowered his head in silence, not saying anything.
"You don't want to tell me? Then I won't ask. "
Hearing this, he hurriedly raised his head: "No, Xiao Jiu, it's just, it's just …"
He looked at her for a long time, and his voice was a little bitter: "I went out to buy some things, and I heard news from my clan that my cousin is getting married."
After knowing each other for so long, she had never asked about his background or his clan. Similarly, he had never asked about her clan. This was the first time she had heard him talk about his family.
"You want to go back and attend his wedding?"
His hand involuntarily touched the wound on his waist that had already healed. His voice was a little sad as he said, "Xiao Jiu, do you know? Ever since I was six years old, I was raised by my uncle and practiced martial arts with my cousin. Although we were not of the same mother, I have always respected him and regarded him as my blood brother. However, I never thought that he would suddenly attack me from behind. "
"If you hadn't saved me, I think I would have been dead by now. I didn't understand why he wanted to kill me, but when I heard that he was getting married, I realized that it was for her."
"Her?" She was a little stunned.
"Yes, the woman he married is the third daughter of the Ke family, Ke Xinya. She was the fiancée that my father had arranged for me."
Fengjiu's eyes widened when he heard that. He was a little dumbfounded. What the hell was going on? Being assassinated by his cousin and having his fiancée snatched away? She looked at him sympathetically. She felt that her cheap brother was really quite pitiful.
Looking at his lonely expression, she asked curiously: "Brother, do you like that woman?"
Guan Xilin shook his head: "I don't really like her. It's just that I knew that she would be my woman when she grew up. Now that I heard that she was going to marry someone else, and that that person is my cousin, I feel bad and wronged."
"Pfft!"
