God-Slaying Blade

"Second Uncle, do you think Third Brother's death could be related to Qin Jue? Chen Guo'er received favors from the Feng family; she shouldn't be capable of killing Third Brother!"

Feng Baizhi tilted her head back, her eyes fixed on Qin Jue's giant eagle, and uttered a low sound.

Feng Wuji said in a deep voice, "Bai Zhi, there are some things you don't know, and you don't need to ask. Judging from what Chen Guo'er said, Yao Ran most likely died at her hands! I didn't expect that little wench to be so ruthless!"

Feng Baizhi was taken aback. What was it that she didn't know?

Feng Yuanxi's gaze turned cold as she said, "That bitch Chen Guo'er, I won't let her get away with this! One day, I'll make her pay with her life!"

Feng Wuji's eyes flashed with malice: "It's too wasteful to just bury her alive. Before she's buried alive, she should pay some other price!"

Feng Baizhi's face twitched. This second uncle had actually set his sights on Chen Guo'er! Before, she had secretly observed and thought the Feng family was intentionally trying to matchmake her third brother and Chen Guo'er...

"Second Uncle, Aunt, please calm down. Let's go back and report this to Grandma and let her make the decision. After all, Chen Guo'er is backed by the Weaving Heaven Sword Sect. It won't be easy to deal with her. Besides, we don't have any evidence to prove that Third Brother's death is related to her," Feng Baizhi said in a low voice.

Feng Wuji sneered, "For my Feng family to need evidence is simple, isn't it? I say someone saw Chen Guo'er commit murder, and naturally someone saw it!"

Feng Baizhi took a deep breath and understood what Feng Wuji meant.

"Let's go back first. Ultimately, this matter depends on Mother's decision," Feng Yuanxi said.

Feng Wuji snorted, "Mother has kept a low profile all these years, I don't know what she's been thinking, now all sorts of nobodies dare to bully my Feng family!"

Feng Yuanxi's eyes darkened slightly: "Second brother, watch your words! If these words reach Mother's ears, you'll be punished again."

"Hmph, if anyone dares to spread this, I'll skin them alive!" Feng Wuji glared fiercely at the other members of the Feng family.

Although these people carried the name of the Feng family, and some even had the surname Feng, they were ultimately just servants of the Feng family, and Feng Wuji didn't take them seriously at all.

The daughters of the Feng family are mostly either married out of the family or married into other families!

Children born to sons-in-law and daughters of the Feng family will take their mother's surname. However, such men do not actually have much status in the Feng family.

As Qin Jue landed on his black eagle, the Feng family also set off, quickly heading towards Fengzhou.

It wasn't that they were afraid to see Qin Jue, but rather that the Feng family members had too much pride and didn't want others to see them looking disheveled...

In particular, they didn't want Qin Jue, the City Lord's Mansion, and the Su Yun Sect to see it.

Although everyone lost face, the Feng family considered themselves superior and felt that their embarrassment was more of a joke than anyone else's...

At this moment, Qin Jue rode down on the eagle and landed in front of Zhao Qingmeng and the others.

"Xiao Jue, I'm so glad you're alright!" Zhao Qingmeng said with a relieved smile.

Qin Jue laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, those two have always been very polite to me, so why are you still worried?"

Everyone's faces twitched.

Those two were being polite?

Indeed, those two people treated Qin Jue differently...

Alright, perhaps this is the kind of treatment only the elite receive.

"Young Master Qin, did you... agree to their request?" Sima Xiang asked with a slight smile, his eyes flashing.

Qin Jue raised an eyebrow: "Does Mr. Sima think I would associate with two bandit-like figures? Or does Mr. Sima believe that I, Qin Jue, have always been a bandit-like figure?"

Sima Xiang's face stiffened...

"Young Master Qin, I had absolutely no such intention. I was just asking out of pure curiosity," Sima Xiang said with a wry smile.

He didn't understand why Qin Jue's attitude towards him had suddenly become much colder and harder recently.

I've kept my distance from him before, but I've never been this confrontational.

The others were also curious, but seeing Qin Jue's attitude towards Sima Xiang, they didn't dare to ask any more questions.

Qin Jue said calmly, "I am the head of the Qin family and an elder of the Suyun Sect. How could I possibly become their disciple? If I did, wouldn't my Qin family become the public enemy of Fengzhou? I, Qin Jue, am not that brainless."

As Qin Jue spoke, he couldn't help but glance at Ling Heng.

Ling Heng's eyelids twitched. Could it be that Qin Jue had heard everything he said down below?

Grass!

This is a roundabout way of saying he's brainless!

Ling Heng sneered, "Young Master Qin is joking. If Young Master Qin were truly to become those two's disciples, who in Fengzhou would dare to offend Young Master Qin?"

He wanted to justify his "brainlessness"!

Qin Jue laughed and said, "The young city lord must have stayed in Fengzhou for too long, and now he only has eyes for this place."

Ling Heng: "..."

"Well, now that Young Master Qin is back and hasn't formally become their disciple, let's set off together to go back," Sima Xiang quickly said with a dry laugh.

Qin Jue said calmly, "We won't go together. We're no longer on the same path on this journey back. I need to go to the Suyun Sect. After all, I've become an elder of the Suyun Sect, and I haven't been there yet."

Sima Xiang laughed and said, "Haha, in that case, we'll be going now."

In that instant of turning around, a shadowy glint in Sima Xiang's eyes also surfaced uncontrollably...

Huang Gang quickly asked, "Brother, can I come with you?"

"Go back with your grandfather. When you get to Fengzhou City, go to the Qin residence and tell Han Xi and Hong Tiehu that I will be back later," Qin Jue said.

Huang Gang looked dejected: "Sigh, what a pity. I heard that the Su Yun Sect is full of beauties... What a great opportunity! Brother, you wouldn't take me!"

Qin Jue rolled his eyes at him.

This guy isn't afraid that Ling Heng and the others will make things difficult for him when they get back...

"Walk!"

Ling Heng gave a low hum and issued the command.

The people from the city lord's mansion gradually walked away into the distance.

An Tairan and He Tianxue's eyes flickered slightly.

Although Qin Jue was incredibly strong, offending the City Lord's Mansion was not a wise move.

But they dared not say much about Qin Jue's actions.

Although Zhao Qingmeng was also puzzled, she trusted Qin Jue, so she didn't ask.

"Gentlemen, let's get going. There's no need to rush. The scenery along the way is beautiful, so take your time to enjoy it," Qin Jue said with a smile.

Everyone smiled bitterly...

Where would they find the interest to appreciate the scenery now?

Everything they see now looks ugly, and everything they smell stinks...

Zhao Qingmeng said helplessly, "Xiao Jue, please don't provoke them. We have nothing left now except for you."

Qin Jue smiled and said, "It's good that everyone is alright. If you don't even have the courage to start over, you won't go far on the path of martial arts."

"Well, Elder Qin is right. We only lost resources this time; it's already a miracle that we survived," An Tairan said with a forced smile.

But the thought of the dozens of rare and out-of-print books he kept in his storage ring made his heart ache...

Without those rare and out-of-print books, how did he pass the countless boring days and nights?
