Chapter 371: 170 Loyalty (Second Watch)

A few people turned their heads at the sound and saw a stunningly beautiful woman standing in the night.

“Yo, little beauty, are you trying to be a hero, or is this your lover?”

As soon as the tattooed man finished speaking, the woman rushed over with an arrow step. Before everyone could see how she made her move, “pa pa pa” three crisp sounds rang out, and the man’s face swelled up on both sides.

The man was dumbfounded, and the others were frightened. This woman was full of cold murderous aura, which was too shocking.

“I don’t want to dirty my hands, get lost.” The woman coldly shouted.

One of them tugged at the tattooed man’s arm and whispered tremulously, “Bro, I… I think I saw her at Jin Bolai’s beside Master Xiao…”

Instantly, everyone’s knees went weak, and they all knelt on the ground.

“Please spare us, Miss Shuang, we were blind not to recognize great talent…”

There was only one female fighter by Ran Tengxiao’s side, Ye Shuang.

It was rumored that she came from the hidden ancient martial art Xuanjing Sect. She and her senior brother, Ye Jian, were the two great masters at Master Xiao’s side. They were well-known and famous in that circle.

If they offended this female killing god, their lives were at stake.

Several people knelt on the ground, trembling, their hearts pounding like drums.

A cold order came from above; “Get lost.”

Everyone hurriedly fled in panic, fearing that if they were a step slower, they would fall into the tiger’s den.

Ye Shuang glanced at the man on the ground, who resembled a corpse, and walked over to give him a kick: “Are you dead?”

The man struggled to get up, crying and shouting, “Master Wen… I am ashamed of you…”

Ye Shuang sneered, “Shou Chang, you are quite loyal. Unfortunately, your master has been dead for twelve years. Now it’s Master Xiao’s world. If you want your son to live, find the person Master Xiao wants soon. Otherwise, you and your son can only go to hell to reunite with your master.”

Shou Chang let out a muffled laugh from his chest, “The chaotic strip has not yet turned yellow, the east wind is in power and becomes rampant… the east wind is in power, and it becomes rampant…”

As the words fell, he laughed sarcastically and staggered into the night.

“You… I shouldn’t have saved you. Let those gangsters kill you. You ungrateful thing.” Ye Shuang cursed.

Seeing that it was already late and Shou Chang was drunk and unconscious, there shouldn’t be any progress today. She let her subordinates follow him, while she prepared to go back and get a good night’s sleep.

She must recuperate for the martial arts competition at the end of October, and strive to win this year’s championship.

No woman has ever won the championship in more than a dozen years, other than the founder, Yu Jiang.

All that Master Xiao couldn’t forget was that woman.

She would not be worse than that woman.

Ye Shuang turned around and walked into the dark night.

Hiding in the countryside with his wife and children, Shou Chang lived a life of contentment in poverty for more than a dozen years. If not for Ran Tengxiao’s men finding him, he would have spent his life like this.

He rented a small room of about twenty square meters in Jiangzhou, living a chaotic day and night life.

Jiangzhou was so big; where could he find Master Wen’s lover? Back then, among the three, Ji Chang, Shou Chang, and Master Wen, Master Wen trusted Ji Chang more. How good would it have been if Ji Chang were still alive? He would have definitely known where Master Wen’s lover was hiding.

Shou Chang wandered and climbed up the stairs, took out his key, unlocked the door, and opened a crack. Suddenly, a chill wind brushed past his ear.

The door was slammed shut with a bang, and the corridor’s sound-controlled lights turned on one by one.

The air was filled with the rotten smell of instant noodles and beer mixed together. It was not clear how many days and nights they had been left there, but they were already stinking.

It was nauseating to smell it in the small, unventilated room.

In the darkness, Shou Chang’s pupils shrank abruptly.

“Who… who are you?” Shou Chang, pressed against the wall, his drunkenness suddenly dissipating, stared in shock at the shadow before him.

“Uncle Shou Chang, don’t you remember me?” The youth had a good voice, playful and charming, like an invisible cold blade landing on the carotid artery.

Shou Chang’s back hair stood on end, and he frowned for a moment, incredulously saying, “You… are you Ji Chang’s son?”

Xi Yu.

He knew this person, who was now well-known within the Qinglong Association.Having heard that he had earned Ran Tengxiao’s trust, Shou Chang thought for a long time but couldn’t figure out why Jichang’s son would do so, considering there must be a deep-seated hatred between Jichang and the Rans.

Not being able to figure out the other party’s purpose, Shou Chang didn’t dare to speak rashly.

“Only ten days left, Uncle Shou Chang. Your son is still waiting for you.”

The seemingly kind-hearted reminder from the young lad made Shou Chang feel as if he had fallen into a freezing pit.

Ran Tengxiao had initially set a deadline of three months: if he couldn’t find Ran Bowen’s wife and child, he would have to part with his son forever.

Now, only ten days were left.

“Did Ran Tengxiao send you to remind me?” Shou Chang sneered.

“I didn’t know that Jichang’s son was now working for the Rans. If Jichang knew, he’d probably jump out of his coffin to scold you as an unfilial son.”

“Uncle Shou Chang, there’s no need to sow discord. You know very well whether my father betrayed us or not. I don’t need to spell it out for you, do I?” 𝒻𝓻𝑒ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝑛𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓁.𝑐𝘰𝓶

In the dark, Shou Chang was terrified, “What… what nonsensical things are you saying?”

“Nonsense, huh?” The teen curled his lips.

“The tree that stands tall in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. My father’s mistake was misjudging people’s hearts. He considered you and Lu Chang as brothers, while you both harbored treacherous intentions.”

With a deep sigh from the young lad, Shou Chang’s heart plummeted into the abyss.

“It was Yu Jiang who drove a wedge between the three of us brothers. Later, I found out she was an undercover agent. We were all deceived by her. She lured Jichang to Jingdu, tricked Master Wen into thinking Jichang had defected, and when Master Wen chased after him, he fell into Yu Jiang’s trap. At that moment, I was misguided by her, and for the past twelve years, I’ve regretted it every single day.” Shou Chang knelt down and broke into tears.

“Yu Jiang…” the young lad’s voice was cold and chilling to the bone.

Shou Chang shivered involuntarily.

“Do you think that by blaming a dead person, you can atone for your sins?”

Shou Chang said helplessly, “If you want to avenge your father, go ahead and do it.”

“Sister, wait for me! From today on, I’m going to school with you.”

Zhu Xiangxiang, smiling, tiptoed to straighten Zhu Shaodan’s collar, “Shengde High School has strict rules; if you don’t wear a uniform, you’ll get a demerit. Accumulate three demerits, and you’ll be punished. Even the library mom donated won’t be enough to cover your mischief.”

“I don’t care. I’m just going to kill time and protect you while I’m at it.” Zhu Shaodan clenched his fists.

Zhu Xiangxiang’s smile deepened, “School is a place to study, not to fight.”

“I don’t care! Whoever dares to bully you will have to deal with my fists first.”

Zhu Xiangxiang looked up at Zhu Shaodan. She didn’t know when the little boy who followed her around had grown so tall, with a mature and defined face.

Zhu Xiangxiang burst into laughter, pointing at his colorful hair, “Do you want to be famous on your first day? You should dye your hair back first.”

Zhu Shaodan snorted, “Why should I dye my hair back after spending four hours doing it? If they don’t like it, they can suck it up.”

Zhu Xiangxiang’s eyes shimmered, and she smiled, “As long as you’re happy.”

The library their mother donated should be enough for Zhu Shaodan to last a few months. And that time should be enough for her.

Lin Qing smiled as she watched the affectionate scene between the siblings.

Ming Jing walked by without glancing at them, got into her car, and drove away.

Zhu Shaodan pointed at Ming Jing’s car, “Mom, you’re partial. You got Ming Jing such a nice car, while my sister’s car is all old and ugly. It’s downright embarrassing.”

Lin Qing gave in, “Alright, I’ll get you a new car tomorrow.”

“What about today?”

“Just bear with it for today.”

“No.” Zhu Shaodan pointed at the red Ferrari in the garage, “People outside have been saying that my sister was kicked out of the house. Who knows how many are waiting to see her humiliated? If my sister shows up at school in this car, she’ll slap their faces hard.”

Zhu Xiangxiang chided, “Shaodan, stop causing trouble. This is Mom’s car.”

Zhu Shaodan put his hands on his hips, “If you, Mom, personally dropped her off, all those rumors would instantly fall apart!”

“Shaodan, we’re going to school to study, not to show off. Besides, I couldn’t care less about what others say about me. All I need to do is to have a clear conscience.” Zhu Xiangxiang spoke and gave Lin Qing a subtle glance.
