Di kediaman keluarga Xia.
Tatapan dingin dan tajam Gu Ruoyun jatuh pada wajah pucat Xia Ming. Niat membunuh berputar di sekeliling dirinya saat dia berkata dingin, "Xia Ming, saat kau membunuh Tua Xia dan Xia Ruoyun tahun itu, apakah kau pernah membayangkan hari ini akan tiba? Aku di sini hari ini untuk membalaskan dendam Xia Ruoyun! Namun, aku tidak pernah menyangka kau bukan hanya membunuh putrimu sendiri, bahkan ayahmu yang telah membesarkanmu pun tidak kau ampuni! Terlebih lagi, berdasarkan situasi saat ini, kematian tak terduga para ahli waris lainnya juga pasti ada hubungannya denganmu."
Awalnya, anggota keluarga Xia tidak sesedikit ini. Selain Xia Ming, Tua Xia juga memiliki beberapa putra dan putri. Namun, selain para putri yang telah menikah ke keluarga di negeri yang jauh, semua yang lain telah mati karena kecelakaan. Tidak ada satu pun yang selamat!
Karena Xia Ming bahkan rela membunuh ayahnya sendiri, alasan apa lagi yang dia miliki untuk mengampuni saudara-saudaranya?
"Hehe."
Xia Ming terkekeh dan bangkit berdiri dari tanah. Dia menatap Gu Ruoyun dan mencibir, "Jadi bagaimana kalau memang begitu? Orang-orang itu pernah bertengkar denganku merebut posisi Tuan Muda Xia, mereka semua pantas mati!"
Gasp!
Saat mendengar pengakuan Xia Ming, semua orang di ruangan itu tidak bisa menahan diri untuk berseru keras.
Xia Ming telah membunuh saudara-saudaranya dan membunuh ayahnya sendiri. Dia benar-benar telah melakukan segala kejahatan yang bisa dibayangkan! Sangat sulit bagi mereka untuk membayangkan ada orang di dunia ini yang begitu kejam dan tidak berperasaan.
Bang!
Tiba-tiba, suara keras terdengar dari luar pintu. Gu Ruoyun mengerutkan alisnya dan setelah memerintahkan Yunyao untuk mengawasi anggota keluarga Xia, dia bergegas keluar pintu. Namun, saat matanya tertuju pada dua orang yang sedang bertarung di halaman keluarga Xia, dia langsung tertegun.
"Xiao Ye, apa yang sedang kau lakukan? Juga, Ayah Angkat, kenapa kau ada di sini?"
Gu Ruoyun merasa sedikit tersinggung. Kenapa dua orang ini bertarung di kediaman keluarga Xia?
"Kakak."
Xia Linyu segera menyadari kehadiran Gu Ruoyun dan matanya berbinar. Dia cepat-cepat berlari mendekatinya.
"Yu'er, apa yang sebenarnya terjadi?"
Gu Ruoyun mengerutkan alisnya semakin dalam sambil bertanya pada Xia Linyu.
"Aku sendiri juga tidak terlalu yakin." Xia Linyu menggosok hidungnya, "Aku sedang bergegas ke sini bersama Kakak Qianbei ketika pria yang memiliki lukisanmu ini tiba-tiba muncul dan menanyakan beberapa informasi tentangmu. Kakak Qianbei langsung menganggapnya sebagai penjahat dan mereka mulai bertarung. Mereka terus bertarung sampai mencapai kediaman keluarga Xia. Kakak, kau sebaiknya segera menghentikan mereka."
Gu Ruoyun benar-benar tercengang saat menatap kedua sosok berbaju merah yang sedang bertarung di udara, untuk sesaat tidak bisa sadar kembali.
Dari sudut pandangnya, Xiao Ye telah berada di sini bertahun-tahun dan Ayah Angkatnya adalah seorang kultivator yang namanya saja sudah mengguncang daratan. Kapan temperamen mereka menjadi begitu kasar? Mereka bertarung... Hanya demi sebuah lukisan?
Apakah mereka tidak repot untuk berbicara dengan sopan?
Namun, dia cukup terkejut dengan kemunculan mendadak Tuan Besar Hong Lian dan fakta bahwa dia telah bertanya tentang dirinya.
Mungkinkah sesuatu telah terjadi di Wilayah Teratai Merah?
Chapter 862: The Xia Family’s Destruction (8)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The officer clearly jumped with fright and trembled as he stuttered, "Ye... Yes."
"Oh? Then tell me, where in the Imperial City is she?"
"This... I’ve seen the woman in this picture having a dispute with the Lady of the Xia family, Xia Chuxue, as I was having a meal at Auspicious Blessing Tavern. She seems to be staying at that tavern."
Under Grand Lord Hong Lian’s powerful coercion, the man conveyed this piece of information with great difficulty. He then watched as the man in red shot off like a red light next to him and soon disappeared from view.
Of course, the man in red was still unaware that Gu Ruoyun was now at Xia Chuxue’s wedding ceremony. So, unsurprisingly, he had not managed to find the person he had been searching for in the tavern.
...
At the Xia family home.
Gu Ruoyun’s clear and cold gaze fell upon Xia Ming’s pale features. Murderous intent circled around her being as she spoke icily, "Xia Ming, when you had murdered old Master Xia and Xia Ruoyun that year, did you imagine that this day would ever come? I’m here today to avenge Xia Ruoyun in her place! However, I never thought that not only had you murdered your own daughter, even your father who had raised you had not been spared! Furthermore, based on the current situation, the unexpected deaths of the other heirs must also be related to you in some way."
Initially, the members of the Xia family had not been so sparse. Aside from Xia Ming, old Master Xia had also sired several sons and daughters. However, other than the daughters who had married into families in distant lands, everyone else had all died from accidents. None have been spared!
Since Xia Ming would even kill his own father, what other reason would he have to spare his brothers?
"Hehe."
Xia Ming sniggered and rose to his feet from the ground. He stared at Gu Ruoyun and sneered, "So what if I did? Those people had once fought with me over the position of Young Master Xia, they all deserved to die!"
Gasp!
When they heard Xia Ming’s confession, everyone in the room could not hold themselves back from exclaiming out loud.
Xia Ming had murdered his brothers and killed his own father. He has certainly committed every crime imaginable! They found it very hard to imagine that anyone in this world could be so cruel and heartless.
Bang!
Suddenly, a loud noise sounded from outside the door. Gu Ruoyun knit her brows gently and after ordering Yunyao to watch the members of the Xia family, she hurriedly rushed out the door. However, when she laid her eyes on the two people who were fighting in the Xia family courtyard, she was instantly flabbergasted.
"Xiao Ye, what are you doing? Also, Godfather, what are you doing here?"
Gu Ruoyun felt slightly aggrieved. Why are these two fighting in the Xia family home?
"Sister."
Xia Linyu noticed Gu Ruoyun immediately and his eyes lit up. He quickly scurried over to her.
"Yu’er, what on earth is going on?"
Gu Ruoyun’s frown deepened as she asked Xia Lunyu.
"I’m not too sure myself." Xia Linyu rubbed his nose, "I was rushing over here with Big Brother Qianbei when this man, who has a picture of you, suddenly appeared and asked for some information about you. Big Brother Qianbei instantly marked him as a criminal and they began to fight. They had then fought and fought until they reached the Xia family home. Sister, you’d better hurry and stop them."
Gu Ruoyun was completely dumbstruck as she stared blankly at the two red figures who were fighting each other in mid-air, temporarily unable to return to her senses.
From her point of view, Xiao Ye has been around for a good number of years and her godfather was a cultivator whose very name shakes the mainland to its core. When had their tempers become so violent? They’re fighting... All for the sake of a painting?
Had they not even bothered to talk in a civilized manner?
However, she was rather surprised at Grand Lord Hong Lian’s sudden appearance and that he has been asking about her.
Could it be that something has happened in Red Lotus Territory?
