Chapter 76: The Xu Family’s Rage
Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
Guan Xi Lin stared blankly a moment upon hearing that and he found it a little strange. Why had she suddenly brought back two people like this?
"Get on!" Feng Jiu gestured for the young girl to carry her brother onto the carriage.
"Yes." She acknowledged and climbed into the horse carriage.
Guan Xi Lin pulled Feng Jiu to the side and suppressed his voice to ask softly: "Little Jiu, you want to bring those two people to leave together with us? The youth doesn't look very healthy to me! Will that really be fine? Will anything suddenly happen midway?"
"Don't worry, it'll be fine. Let's go!" As she said that, she noticed that there wasn't a coachman and she asked: "Big Brother, don't tell me you intend to drive it yourself?"
"Yup, I can do it. Rest assured, even with just one arm." He grinned widely and ushered her onto the horse carriage quickly.
Hearing him say that, she did not persist in asking any further, and quickly climbed into the carriage.
Guan Xi Lin climbed aboard himself after all of them had seated themselves within and drove the horse carriage towards the outside of the town's gates, setting forth on his return journey to the Cloudy Moon City…..
-On the other side, Cloudy Moon City, Xu Family-
'Bam!'
On the Master's seat, a middle aged man slammed his palm to crash heavily upon the tabletop, suddenly standing up in utter disbelief. He stared angrily at the guard kneeling below him, his voice shocked and chilling.
"What? What did you say? Tell it all to me once more!"
The conqueror's aura and his powerful presence made the face of the guard kneeling below turn deathly pale, cold sweat to break out from his body, and his heart to fill with terror, but at the same time, he had no other choice but to repeat himself again.
"Re….. reporting to Mas….. Master. The Rock Forest Town's Head sent people here to inform us that they discovered three sets of bo….. bodies who were wa….. warriors, and they sus….. suspect that they are from our Xu….. Xu Family.
'Bam!'
The middle aged man fell back into his chair dispirited as he said in disbelief: "How is that possible? How is that even possible? With the Senior Elder's and the Four Elder's powers, how could it be possible that there is anyone in a place like the tiny Rock Forest Town who is capable of killing them?"
The guard kneeling on the ground did not dare to reply and he just remained there trembling in fear.
"Who? Who was it that killed them?" His suddenly bloodthirsty gaze stared at the guard below. "The two guards who accompanied them? Did they come back?"
The kneeling guard answered in a trembling voice and said: "It….. It is not known who killed them. And the two accompanying guards were afraid that they would be punished and has run away."
The Senior Elder, the Fourth Elder and the Second Master had all been killed. If the two of them had come back, the Master's rage was not something that would be pleasant to face, hence, those two people had naturally take the opportunity that they were outside and fled far away.
"Good! Very good!"
His fists clenched up tightly, his insidious voice chilling and bloodthirsty as he said: "Look into it! Investigate into it deeply!"
[His Xu Family was just a mid level family in the Cloudy Moon City. Although their might could not be compared to the Eight Big Families and the Four Big Mights, but they had still managed to hold significant repute in this place. And now, in the short span of less than one month's time, his son had been killed, his brother had been killed, and even the Senior Elder and the Fourth Elder had also been killed!]
[If he doesn't find out who the culprit is, how is he going to be able to swallow this!]
Cloudy Moon City, in a certain courtyard
Dressed in an all black robe, with highly outstanding countenance, Leng Shuang looked on at the figure in the courtyard dressed in her plain white inner clothes, executing a soft and feeble style of martial arts, her gaze looking highly complicated.
Her brother had awoken the other day and that very night, she had kept her promise where she had stripped herself bare and laid upon Feng Jiu's bed. At this moment, she could still remember when Feng Jiu had lifted the blanket and saw her stark naked body, the startled expression of Feng Jiu and the look she gave, helplessly torn between conflicting urges whether to laugh or to cry.
And it was through that time, that Leng Shuang found out that Feng Jiu was female.
But if Feng Jiu did not need her to warm her bed, and wasn't attracted to her beauty, then why did Feng Jiu agree to help her?
But, regardless of the reason, since she handed her life over to Feng Jiu, Feng Jiu would be her Mistress. That was a point, that would not change.
"Leng Shuang, has my Big Brother returned yet?"

Feng Jiu collected herself as she finished her practice and turned to look at the beautiful young girl standing on the steps. The more she looked at the girl, the more pleasing the young girl became to her eyes.
Leng Shuang snapped back to her senses and walked towards her Mistress. She lowered her head and said respectfully: "Mistress, Young Master has not yet returned."
"He went out so early in the morning and he still has not come back?" Feng Jiu asked, slightly puzzled. She then went on to ask further: "Is the marriage between the Guan Family and the Ke Family happening in three days' time?"
"It is three days later."
Leng Shuang answered and paused a moment before she continued to say: "But when Young Master left, he said he wanted to go back a little earlier and does not wish for Mistress to go with him. He said he will handle this matter himself."
Upon hearing that, Feng Jiu smiled. [He must have been worried that the situation might get highly awkward if she had gone with him. Moreover, in his heart, he still believed that the Guan Family wouldn't really treat him too cruelly and he still strongly believed that his clansmen would not give him the cold shoulder in the face of their self interests.]
[That might be a good thing. Letting him handle it on his own, he will finally realise that people, when faced with their self interests at stake, would be unhesitatingly cruel and merciless even towards their own clansmen.]
[Towards that clan that Guan Xi Lin belonged in, she did not like them a single bit.]
[Whereas for the Feng Family…..]
When she thought of all that she would find out about the Feng Family after she came to the Cloudy Moon City, her heart started to feel rather conflicted.
The people in the Feng Family truly loved and doted on Feng Qing Ge. But, they were completely unaware that the Feng Qing Ge they adored and treasured in the palms of their hands at that moment had actually killed their real daughter.
Leng Shuang looked at the mess of knife scars that crisscrossed over Feng Jiu's face and her eyes flashed involuntarily.
The multiple knife scars filled her Mistress' face in a mess of garish slash marks, the numerous scars completely hiding her original countenance, and what could be seen, were only those heart rending and garish looking scars.
She really could not imagine, just what kind of a person would want to ruin a girl's face so completely? Just what kind of hatred was behind it that would make a person capable of doing this?
When she thought about how defenceless her Mistress was, Leng Shuang strongly resolved to herself, that she would not leave her Mistress' side to protect her every step of the way.
Leng Shuang was obviously completely oblivious to the skills and powers Feng Jiu possessed at that moment, as ever since she had come to serve Feng Jiu, she had only seen Feng Jiu practising that feeble and weak set of martial arts every morning in the courtyard that had absolutely no attack power behind all its strokes.
Moreover, Feng Jiu was also a Medicinal Concoctionist and because of that, Leng Shuang had the preconception that Feng Jiu was only skilled in Medicine and was completely defenceless in terms of her martial cultivation.
Caught up in her own thought, Feng Jiu noticed Leng Shuang's gaze upon her and she turned to look at the girl and asked: "What's wrong?"
Leng Shuang shook her head and lowered her eyes.
Seeing that, Feng Jiu had seemingly gotten a rather good idea of what the girl was thinking as she caressed her own face and said with a smile: "Curious how did my face get so badly disfigured?"
Her voice paused briefly and then she said in a nonchalant tone: "Actually, looking at it now, it has gotten a lot better. In the beginning, even I could not bear to look at myself."
She wasn't too worried about the scars on her face. Afterall, once she managed to gather all the herbs she needed, she wouldn't even need a month before she would be able to restore her face back to they way it had originally looked. What she was more concerned about at that moment was her "free" elder brother she picked up.
The black market had sent news, telling her that the magical herbs she seeked were highly difficult to find, and they had not managed to gather them all as yet.
Every single day that the magical herbs are not completely gathered, it was another day that her big brother's hand would remain crippled, and it would be another day her heart would not find solace. If all those magical herbs really could not be found, then she would have to resort to a barter trade with people who hold possession of those magical herbs she needed.
-At that same moment, Ke Family Residence-
Dressed in a navy blue robe, Guan Xi Lin's handsome features were looking slightly solemn, as he looked at the sweet and pretty lady before him to ask in a stiff tone: "Are you really going to marry my cousin? You agreed to it yourself? Or were you coerced into it?"
