"Now you can tell me, who made you come here to make trouble."
Like the sound of death, Knife Scar Tiger was frightened to tremble all over, this kind of decisive and ruthless character made everyone present stand on end with their hair standing on end, not a word was said, first chop off your arm, then ask you questions, this is a mind-destroying tactic, Knife Scar Tigers nerves were completely destroyed.
These people are fugitives, ordinary interrogation has no effect, the best way is to be ten times more ruthless than them, and crush their confidence.
A short knife was placed on his left arm, refusing to reveal the mastermind behind the scenes, and continued to chop down.
Liu Wuxie is playing with fire; one misstep and he will bring down the entire Xu family.
"It was... Tian Hong who brought us here, to strike at the Xu familys armory and disrupt your business. Once we succeed, hell pay us 10,000 gold coins."
Dào huā hǔs mind was completely controlled by Liú Wú Xié, those terrifying eyes, like a soul-eating beast, made him involuntarily say these words.
As soon as this was said, the scene erupted in a commotion.
Xu Lings eyes narrowed, her face covered in frost, this answer exceeded everyones expectations.
Indeed, there is someone behind the scenes giving orders; even if Knife Scars courage was greater, he wouldnt dare come to the Xu family to cause trouble.
The remaining nine mercenaries, pale-faced and holding weapons, charged into the crowd and escaped in the chaos.
"Kill them!"
Liu Wuxie said coldly, Lanzhis body rose into the air, and with a palm strike, three people were shattered, turning into blood and water.
The entire hall was in chaos, with many innocent people unable to be slaughtered indiscriminately. Taking advantage of the confusion, several people rushed out of the gate at high speed.
This is a cold gleam flashing through the air, striking down. The silent Xu Lingshu finally made his move, and a silver longsword appeared in his hand, with an innate aura covering the entire Armory Square.
Liu Wu Xies eyes narrowed, he didnt expect his wife to be so powerful, an innate 18-year-old, a genius in the entire Great Yan Imperial Court.
In just two breaths of time, all mercenaries except for Huī Xiǎo Tū fell to the ground and became corpses.
From start to finish, Liu Wuxie never made a move. Everyones gaze towards him changed. If there was no Liu Wuxie today, the outcome might have been different. The Xu family would have been swindled out of a large sum of money and even lost their reputation.
"Brother-in-law, we were wrong, we shouldnt have teased you just now."
Dong Changliang suddenly knelt down and slapped himself in the face. The other servants knelt behind him, trembling with fear.
"Blue, take care of the rest."
Turning away from the military equipment shop, things have been settled. Father-in-law knows what to do next, and theres no need for him to worry about the rest. He should go back to his cultivation now.
As soon as he stepped out of the military equipment workshop, a fragrance wafted over, and Xu Lingxue appeared beside him, with the two walking shoulder to shoulder.
Its probably the first time theyve walked this close since they were old enough to understand things.
"How did you know that broken sword wasnt forged by our Xu family?"
Xu Lingxue spoke up, she and Lan Zhi had both examined the broken sword, the craftsmanship was indeed from the Xu family, even the engraved marks were identical, making it extremely difficult to distinguish between true and false.
"Awesome!"
He shrugged, from small to large, has always been looked down upon by Xu Lingxue. The two are husband and wife, but they are more strangers than strangers. Except for meeting once a year during holidays, Liu Wuxie rarely sees Xu Lingxue.
"Are you still angry about what happened that night?"
Her voice was like a valley spirit, on the night of their new marriage, she drove her husband out of the bridal chamber. What she did was indeed somewhat excessive, but who let him be a useless waste? Liu Wuxie really didnt blame her, it could only be said that fate played tricks on people.
"Its all over."
He forced a laugh and said, "Are you angry?"
He himself doesnt even know, whats there to be angry about.
"You seem different."
Xu Lingxue couldnt say it out loud, but after that nights events, he seemed to have changed, becoming somewhat estranged, no longer the same pampered young master, and when their eyes met, his clear gaze was like two bright blue gemstones, completely different from the lewd expression she had seen every time before.
Can hurting someone really change their personality?
She should be happy, but seeing Liu Wuxie become like this, she cant help but feel unhappy. He has become too cold, and standing next to him, she cant feel any warmth.
"People will always change."
Two people walking on the street, attracting many onlookers, most of whom are gazing at Xu Lingxue, mixed with some disdainful voices, no more than a beautiful flower inserted into cow dung.
"You havent told me yet, how did you discover the secret of the broken sword."
Xu Lingxue took a deep breath, and a smile blossomed on her face, like the peach blossoms of March. The sky around her seemed to brighten up, and that captivating smile, even if veiled by a thin gauze, couldnt conceal her stunning beauty.
One smile can conquer a city, another smile can conquer a country!
Liu Wuxie rubbed his nose, marrying such a wife was the greatest fortune that countless men dreamed of, but he revealed a hint of bitter smile, because no one knew better than him what it meant to be a femme fatale.
No feelings for Xu Lingxue?
Of course not.
The memories of the two blended perfectly together, carrying everything and also emotions.
"Do you still remember yesterday when I picked up a weapon in the great hall?"
Liu Wus tone had relaxed a lot, his icy aura disappeared, and he looked very sunny.
"Ah!"
He nodded, yesterday Liu Wuxie entered the main hall and was scolded by his father and mother. During that time, he picked up a weapon, but everyone ignored him. Later, he left with a package of medicine. What does this have to do with Duan Jian?
"The Xu familys sword had a heavy and resonant sound, with a hint of dragons roar. Today, this broken sword uses the Xu familys refining technique, almost to the point where it can be mistaken for the real thing. The sound is clear and crisp, but between the two, there seems to be a world of difference."
For ordinary people, its hard to distinguish, but for Liu Wuxie, this is a fatal loophole.
Xu Lingxue turned her head, and the two of them stopped in their tracks. A hint of shock flashed through her beautiful eyes - such a tiny difference, yet he was actually able to distinguish it.
"Is this supposed to be gratitude?"
Liu Wuxies mouth corner revealed a sly smile, causing Xu Lingxue to glare at him fiercely, but both of them ended up laughing. Todays events had resolved the huge crisis facing the Xu family, and they were both overjoyed.
The place where the Qinglou was buried that night is still in ruins, and a group of workers are busy. The compensation for the Xu family was settled with them yesterday.
Stop in ones tracks and gaze out at the ruins.
Xu Lingxues face showed a hint of displeasure. Liu Wuxie was her husband, even if only in name, and she didnt want him to come to this kind of place.
"Still have feelings for this place?"
The tone was somewhat sour, not from eating vinegar, but rather a sense of regret that things hadnt turned out as hoped. Today, after much effort, he had finally managed to redeem himself in her eyes, but now, faced with the brothel, his feet seemed rooted to the spot.
"Do you believe what I said about being framed that night?"
Liu Wuxie glanced at the ruins, withdrew her gaze, and smiled slyly at Xu Lingshuo, saying half-truthfully, "The matter that night hasnt been thoroughly investigated yet, I dont want too many people to know."
There was no response, possibly because Liu Wuxie had thoroughly hurt her heart over the years, and no matter what she said, her credibility would be discounted.
The two returned to the Xu family home, where news of the incident at the military equipment shop had already spread. The Xu family was in the midst of discussing what to do next, and this time, things had completely fallen apart between the two families.
"Dad!" Xu Lingxue.
"Father-in-law!" said Liu Wuxie.
Two men walked into the grand hall, Xu Yilin was negotiating with several attendants, seeing them, everyone stopped.
"No evil intentions, I know everything about todays events, you did a great job, your father is very pleased."
Xu Yilin walked over, patted Liu Wuxies shoulder, and said, "If it werent for you today, things would be unimaginable. The Tian family must have set a trap, and there will definitely be a second and third wave of attacks to completely destroy this armory."
"This is what I should do."
Liu Wuxie did not take credit for himself; he just did what he was supposed to do.
"Alright, alright, you all go back and rest first, we still have things to discuss."
One after another, three good words were spoken, and seeing that the son-in-law had matured, they were delighted from the bottom of their hearts. The group continued to discuss matters, while Liu Wuxie and Xue Lingshu left and returned to their respective residences.
Xus uncle unleashed his divine power, exposing the Tian familys conspiracy and saving the Xu familys reputation. The news quickly spread throughout the entire clan, and those servants who saw Liu Wuxie had a 180-degree change in attitude.
"Hello, uncle!"
"Long time no see, brother-in-law!"
"Uncle, are you hungry? Ill bring you something to eat!"
“……”
Just back to the yard, Tie Li bare-chested, knelt outside the yard, begged for punishment with a bundle of thorns.
"Brother-in-law, I was wrong yesterday, please punish me."
Before, Liu Wu Xie was looked down upon by them as a useless person, but after this incident, their attitude towards him greatly changed.
"Get up!"
Liu Wuxie didnt really blame him, they were destined to be people from different worlds, being able to actively admit his mistake proved that his heart was still with the Xu family, this point was enough.
Close the courtyard gate and hang a "Do Not Disturb" sign. For the next two days, I can focus on cultivating and strive to break through to the Seventh Heaven Realm.
The Tian family will go crazy and counterattack, not only targeting the refining room, but also attacking other industries of the Xu family.
The Xus main source of income came from their armory, as well as tea houses, restaurants and mines, which allowed them to maintain a large family.
These industries alone can only maintain the status quo, and the Xu family will never move forward. Liu Wuxies goal is to make the Xu family the number one family in the Great Yan Dynasty, so that they will never have to worry about their future again, and then he can seek his own path to immortality.
