Chapter 217: A Glimpse of the Horror at Huaqing Pool

Chapter 217 A Shocking Glimpse of Huaqing Pool (Part )
On the stone arch bridge.

When the big bag of bait worth nearly a hundred gold coins in her hand was emptied, Liu Xiaowen was out of breath after playing with it, and a few tiny beads of sweat oozed out of her small nose. She had been out for almost a whole afternoon and was naturally a little tired.

She naturally held Liu Xi's arm with both hands, shook it slightly, and said in a sweet voice:

"Brother, let's go back."

But she did not forget the last words her brother said to her mother before he came out.

I guess, after I get back, my brother and mother will tell everything openly, right?

Of course, she herself would most likely be avoided...

"Okay, let's go back."

Liu Xi smiled and said.

As they were talking, the brother and sister were about to walk down the huge stone arch bridge.

Suddenly.

Liu Xi's body suddenly paused. Liu Xiaowen, who was holding his arms, could feel that his body seemed to become extremely stiff in an instant.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

Puzzled, Liu Xiaowen asked.

However, Liu Xi seemed not to hear her voice, and his eyes were fixed on the Huaqing Pool across the bridge.

Just now, he suddenly felt a pair of gazes staring at him that made him feel cold all over, and when he swept his eyes over, he was shocked to see a burly figure in tattered clothes slowly turning around.

In just a blink of an eye, it disappeared from his sight.

That is……

Thoughts raced through my mind, and the scenes I had experienced in recent days flashed through my mind.

After racking his brains, he frowned.

Two days ago, on the night when the moonlight was dim and the stars were not bright, on the Canaan Line's passenger ship No. 07, he was standing on the deck of the Heaven-class cabin and saw the corpse of a middle-aged man floating on the surface of the Canaan River, which quietly overlapped with the figure just now.

The same tattered clothes, the same pale skin underneath the tattered clothes, and the body shapes are also very similar...

But, how is this possible?!
Liu Xi's eyes were full of disbelief.

How could a body that had been floating in a river as big as the Canaan River for a long time appear in the same place as him two days later!!!
But he remembered that when he saw the corpse, its floating direction was opposite to the direction in which the passenger ship was travelling!

Moreover, this time the "middle-aged male corpse" was not floating on the water in a creepy way, but appeared alive before his eyes!
Turn around and disappear.

It's moving!

Could it be that the body... no, that person, was not completely dead at the time? When passing by the passenger ship, he unknowingly boarded the ship, and no one noticed until he got off the ship at the terminal? !

Think about this.

Liu Xi was terrified when he thought about it, and shuddered with fear.

But after thinking about it, it seems that this is the only explanation as to why he was in Hechuan City and could see that dead... person.

But then again, the question arises, why is that person staring at him here? !
Is it a coincidence or...

汩~
After swallowing his saliva, Liu Xi didn't dare to think about it any further.

However, even so, the back of his clothes was already wet with cold sweat.

He didn't dare to say anything else, but the man disappeared in his sight as soon as he turned around. Based on this alone, he guessed that if he was not dazzled, his strength must be unfathomable!
At least it's not someone he can afford to provoke right now!
The guard beside Xiao Xun'er, Ling Ying, the "weakest of the ancient clan", is at the late stage of the Dou Queen period. Is she too powerful for him to provoke at this stage?
But the feeling that person gave him was many times stronger than Ling Ying!
Although he had not witnessed Ling Ying's full strength attack so far...

"Brother, are you okay?"

While he was in a trance, his sister Liu Xiaowen's voice entered his ears. His right arm was being violently shaken by her. Liu Xi slowly came back to his senses, feeling a bit amused. He raised his left hand and touched her soft hair, whispered "It's okay", then took her hand and said:
"Let's go, let's go back quickly!"

After he finished speaking, he took a step forward, took Liu Xiaowen's hand, walked away from the bridge, and headed straight towards the family mansion.

He didn't want to stay in this place for even a moment.

That feeling of having a thorn in your back is really frightening!
-

About half an hour later.

Deep inside the Liu family mansion.

Inside the house.

Liu Xi and Aunt Sun avoided Liu Xiaowen and sat opposite each other.

On the table between the two of them, a piece of paper with most of the content written on it was lying there quietly.

"Since Auntie has carefully read the contents of this paper, you should know that I already know all the details about your remarriage. Therefore, there is no need to hide some things. There is really no need. It will only waste some words and time!"

Glancing at Aunt Sun who was pretending to be calm, Liu Xi spoke slowly.

As soon as he finished speaking, he extended his right index finger and tapped heavily on the place where the name "Otto Dang" was written on the paper. Then he smiled faintly at Aunt Sun and said:
"Let's get straight to the point. I think you should understand what I mean, Auntie."

Hearing this, Aunt Sun looked in the direction Liu Xi's finger was pointing. When she saw the name Otto Dang, her face turned slightly pale, and her lips, which were painted with bright red rouge, trembled slightly.

"Xi...Xi'er..."

Aunt Sun just started to speak, Liu Xi took a deep breath, and while he was speechless, he frowned and interrupted:

"Auntie, I told you before that it's better for you to just call me by my name."

Her words were interrupted. Under the table, Aunt Sun clasped her hands on her thighs awkwardly, lowered her eyes slightly, and said:

"Liu...Liu Xi, your father has passed away five years ago..."

Before he finished speaking, Liu Xi saw that he was still unwilling to get to the point for the time being, so he waved his hand and interrupted him again, and simply let him speak directly:
"Aunt, you have been a widow for several years and want to remarry and leave the Liu family. I can understand that marriage and funerals are human nature. You have talked to the clan leader about it, and the clan leader has no objection. But you should never have chosen a place for yourself, the Otto family in Wuyang City! And when you told the clan leader about remarriage, you chose to conceal this fact!

Aunt, you have been married to the Liu family for ten years. I don’t believe you don’t know that there has been a generational grudge between the Otto family and our Liu family!
Fortunately, I have not told the clan leader about the details, and the family leaders have no intention of knowing the details. Otherwise, your action will definitely affect Xiaowen's future life in the clan!

Auntie, have you really never considered Xiaowen? If you really marry into the Otto family as you wish, you will be happy, but what about Xiaowen? How will she be in the family? How will the family view her? What if the Otto family makes a fuss about your relationship with Xiaowen in the future? !

Haven’t you ever thought about these things? "

Just say it.

Aunt Sun heard Liu Xi's words so clearly that she was deafening and her face turned miserable.

However, Liu Xi did not wait for her to pretend to beg him, and directly made a final statement on her remarriage:

"You can remarry if you want, but you should find a new place!"
