Chapter 137: Calm before the Storm

Chapter 137: Calm before the Storm

The man in black was so sick with regret that his intestines were about to turn green. All he had wanted was to earn big money, and then leave White Stone City. The Luo family’s people only said that their two targets’ cultivation was stronger than theirs, so they would have to use some tricks to succeed.

But they had never imagined that their targets would be so strong! The two men could not even be compared to their targets’ little finger! He blamed himself for being greedy and agreeing to go after them, just to earn that money.

They had even purposely sought out his lover at the brothel to act in their scheme, and promised to help her redeem herself after this matter was settled. They were going to bring her along and all fly away together.

Now, he really was flying away, but he also very quickly crashed back to the ground, and on his face at that!

The Luo family? Exchanging glances, Ling Chuxi and Ling Yichen found that both their eyes contained surprise. It was actually the Luo family?!

Shi Qu Town’s Ling family, Luo family, and Qin family had always stood on equal footing. The Luo family did indeed have wild ambitions, but attacking the other families had always been taboo, and they did not dare act rashly.

Also, the Qin family would definitely never let the Luo family swallow up the Ling family. Because if they did, the Luo family would grow stronger, and their next target would undoubtedly be the Qin family!

Did the Qin family not know about the Luo family’s plan? Or was it that the Qin family was involved in this too?

No matter which possibility it was, it indicated one thing — the Ling family had gotten into trouble! But why did the Ling family not send someone to inform them? The answer to that question was simple too: they did not want to affect the two of them.

However, the Luo family had already started to take action against the both of them. This was no small matter.

Ling Chuxi’s face turned serious as she spoke, “Let’s immediately return to Shi Qu Town.”

“Alright,” replied Ling Yichen with a nod.

He looked coldy at the two men and woman still curled up on the ground. Without a word, he grabbed the dagger from Ling Chuxi’s hand and attacked them cruelly, without a shred of hesitation. His actions were incredibly fast. Before the three of them could even react, they were slashed with the dagger and their faces immediately turned black. They twitched a couple times before they stopped breathing.

Ling Chuxi quietly looked at this scene without saying a word. She did not think that Ling Yichen’s actions were wrong, as these three people were here to take their lives. It was impossible to just let them go and forgive them, just because they failed at their task.

They failed because their skills were not comparable to their targets. What if their trap had worked? Or if their cultivation was higher than hers or Ling Yichen’s? Then the corpses lying here would not be theirs anymore.

This world was indeed cruel and realistic.

Ling Chuxi let out a light breath as she raised her head to look at the darkening sky. Although she had long understood the cruelty of reality, a wave of exhaustion still arose in her heart. At this moment, she felt something damp and warm on her face. She was stunned. Only then did she realize that Little White had raised its head to lick her face, seemingly comforting her.

“Little White, I’m fine.”

Ling Chuxi suddenly felt a warmth in her heart. No matter what, Little White was always by her side, giving warmth to not just her body, but also to her heart.

Ling Yichen threw the dagger back onto the ground. “Let’s go quickly,” he said softly.

Ling Chuxi nodded. It was fine to leave these three corpses here. The dagger was their own, so it was not possible to investigate who had killed them. Sometimes, the court was more like a decoration. Because when a truly strong cultivator killed someone, the court practically had no way to deal with it.

That’s why people said that the strong are respected. It was because of things like this.

Ling Chuxi and Ling Yichen quickly left the alley. The two of them immediately rushed to the stage station and got into a carriage to make their trip to Shi Qu Town.

By evening, they arrived at their destination. Not knowing whether it was a false intuition, Ling Chuxi kept feeling that Shi Qu Town was oddly quiet at the moment. It was like the calm before the storm.
