Chapter 484

In the Wangjiang Tower, Li Zhuiyuan, the master of the Qin and Liu families who publicly stated that he would personally verify the truth of the incident, did not appear here.

Instead, it was Liu Yumei who came to this Mu Family Village, now framed by this canyon boundary, bringing Sister Qin Li and Liu Ting with her.

Cold light intersected, sword qi groaned.

Like a vortex that had been silent for who knows how many years, it finally got a response, urgently choosing an enemy to sacrifice.

Liu Yumei held the long sword horizontally in front of her chest; in the sword body, white hair and the present were reflected.

Everything was as Xiaoyuan had expected.

That day, the candlelight in front of the coffin was dim.

Liu Yumei, dressed in gorgeous clothes, looked down at Mu Xueci lying inside, charred black.

"Grandmother, please accept my condolences."

"Grandmother, no condolences."

That bit of uncomfortable emotion had already been vented when she learned of Mu Xueci's death.

It wasn't that she was stingy with grief, but that the relatives she had lost were truly too many; this thing had long been exhausted.

Furthermore, Liu Yumei didn't feel that she needed to offer condolences to her.

If she had a choice, Liu Yumei would rather she were still alive, either crying to admit her mistake and confess to her, or smiling to hide and deceive her, and finally she would wave her hand to let that period of shared memory vanish like smoke.

But Mu Xueci chose the most twisted way, which was also the way that made her most uncomfortable.

Clearly, it was you who betrayed, and it was you who did the wrong thing; in the end, you still had to add drama to yourself.

"Xiaoyuan, you promised her granddaughter."

"Hmm, I promised to go help her clean up Mu Family Village. No matter what, Tingfeng Canyon is a good place, and it is even more our Liu family's property.

In the past, when the gate was declining, we could shelve disputes, being occupied by former retainers, and being taken advantage of by outsiders; now, it is time to declare to them what is 'since ancient times'."

Liu Yumei nodded, turned around, and prepared to leave the living room and return to the east room.

"Grandmother."

"Hmm?"

Liu Yumei turned her head and looked at the youth.

"This time, it will be hard for grandmother to take Uncle Qin and Aunt Liu and make a trip personally."

Liu Yumei's eyes revealed thick surprise.

She had long been accustomed to the youth doing everything personally, and even more accustomed to herself "volunteering" once and then being suppressed by the youth time and time again.

She knew the youth had his own special methods and his own chapters and rhythms; if she insisted on intervening, it would only be easy to add chaos.

Therefore, this time, she simply defaulted to the youth personally leading the team to Mu Family Village to handle this matter.

"Xiaoyuan, why?"

"Because if I go, I might die there."

Liu Yumei straightened her body and looked at the youth seriously.

"From the sudden nightmare in Jin Ling to the startling thunder on the day the turtle climbed ashore in the fish pond, all indicate that in the dark, there have long been one or even more pairs of eyes, separated by thick fog, perceiving my existence, and reaching out to grope, trying to pinch me to death.

And when I officially made a name for myself on the river and actively drove away this thick fog, I knew in my heart that what awaited me next was definitely not sunny weather, but stormy waves."

The youth's fingertips tapped lightly on the edge of the coffin and continued:

"Grandmother, don't you feel that this matter is too logical?"

Liu Yumei pondered.

"If Mu Xueci hadn't chosen to commit suicide and leave this video, then my family would have been framed, and we would have been alienated from the group of outer gates from the past.

Even Lin Shu You knows this point.

But this... what does it count for?

When the Qin and Liu families were declining back then, we couldn't support ourselves even with the outer gates; otherwise, you wouldn't have ordered them to be dismissed back then, grandmother.

Now that my two families' gates are reviving and rising, what direct relationship do we have with these outer gates? It's nothing more than icing on the cake, looking good.

I have a bad habit; I habitually like to think of my opponents as smarter. I think the Dragon King Order is worthy of this praise.

Therefore, when I promised Mu Qiuying's request, I felt something was wrong.

Did the Ling family do this just to ruin my family's reputation?

If I were the Ling family, I would never do such a meaningless act of beating the grass to scare the snake.

Either do nothing and wait for the opportunity; if you want to move, make a ruthless decision, sacrifice enough cost, and settle it with one hammer!"

Liu Yumei: "They, are they fishing?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "Hmm, they are waiting for me to go to Mu Family Village."

Liu Yumei: "But how did they know that the fish that took the bait would be you?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "My style of doing things in Yuxi must have been rubbed off and provided to them for careful study.

They can outline my personality portrait, deduce my behavioral logic, and ponder into my aesthetics.

They are betting that I am young and vigorous, not only wanting to suppress the river but also wanting to hold up the facade on the shore.

They are betting that I like to do things personally and cherish you family members who are not many left.

They might even have an incomparably familiar mole who has explained me to them in the most detailed and meticulous way."

Liu Yumei: "Ultimately, it's a bet?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "Grandmother, great-grandfather said that when you are sure you will win the prize, going to touch the prize is no longer gambling, but going to stock up.

On the river, Heaven is clear, and everyone is watching. To reasonably remove the current me while avoiding the karmic backlash of Heaven, they must pay a sufficiently large price.

Therefore, they couldn't just place this fishhook anywhere; the cost of each hook is very large.

Unless,

This cost can be revealed after confirming that I have taken the bait.

Therefore, not only are you going to Mu Family Village, grandmother, but I am also going to 'Mu Family Village', at least, to let them believe I went.

Without accident, they will also cautiously and carefully take the initiative to confirm me before ordering the chips to be pressed.

I will cooperate with them well.

As for you, grandmother, the last time the turtle climbed ashore in the fish pond, you were just having a big dream.

Uncle Qin and Aunt Liu are the same.

This dream, no matter how delicate, is ultimately not reality.

Grandmother, you have worked hard for this family for so many years, and you have endured for so many years.

This time, it's your turn to go play happily."

Liu Yumei: "Xiaoyuan, what else does grandmother need to pay attention to?"

Li Zhuiyuan shook his head:

"To avoid karmic backlash and kill me, they will inevitably try every means to pick themselves clean and design everything to be appropriate and reasonable.

Therefore, you just need to go with Uncle Qin and Aunt Liu this time, relax to your heart's content, play to your heart's content...

Without any scruples."

Liu Yumei felt the youth in front of her was somewhat strange.

It wasn't that he had changed, but that she finally saw the youth's true appearance on the river.

Before, she viewed Xiaoyuan as a junior, a person of the younger generation; from this moment on, she began to try to think and substitute: if Xiaoyuan were of the same generation as her, if she had lit the lamp back then and met Xiaoyuan on the river, or if Qin Old Dog had met Xiaoyuan, what kind of result would it be?

"Oh, one point, I believe that after you arrive at the place and see the situation, grandmother, you will definitely be able to see it, but just in case, I still have to waste this sentence."

"Xiaoyuan, you speak, I listen."

"If I die in Mu Family Village, according to their arrangements, they will inevitably carry out a finishing process for my death and the situation that caused my death.

I think, in all likelihood, there should be a second batch of manpower they arranged in advance near Mu Family Village. This batch of manpower must ensure that the big fire that burned me is extinguished, and they must be the backbone elites in the family.

Grandmother, please look more, watch more, and find them.

Throw them all into that fire pile and use them as firewood.

Since this fire was set by them, then we will lend a hand and help them burn this fire thoroughly!"

The youth's fingertips lifted, a large amount of candle oil on the candlestick in front melted and dripped rapidly, and the firelight rushed up, looking like a dragon coiling and ferocious.

This was just corresponding to the youth's layout.

The prey that thought it was a hunter set a trap, trying to lure the underage cub to throw itself into the net, but after waiting and waiting, they found that the one crushing this trap was an adult dragon!

Liu Yumei performed a half-bow to Li Zhuiyuan.

Li Zhuiyuan was somewhat surprised and stood up subconsciously, but seeing that Grandma Liu had already performed the bow, and roughly knowing her state of mind at this time, he continued to sit on the stool.

People around knew he didn't like these etiquette forms, but sometimes he also had to take care of their emotional value needs.

Just like Grandma Liu at this moment, she wanted to relive the solid reliance of having elders and masters to command and lead when she was young.

"Yumei, receive the master's order!"

Master Li nodded, waved his hand lightly, and said:

"Elder Liu, thank you for your hard work."

Subsequently, one old and one young, both had smiles on their faces.

When Liu Yumei turned around to go back to the room to get her sword, intending not to delay and directly call A Li and A Ting to set off, she saw from the corner of her eye that the youth took out a book with the cover "Zhuiyuan Secret Scroll" and placed it in front of him, his ears hearing the youth's soft murmur:

"Heh, all things I've finished playing with."

"Left home for a few days, don't know if anyone is farming the land at home, don't know if anyone is moving bricks in the kiln."

Even though under her body, there was the roar of the thunder beast and the slaughter of the crazy demon, a scene of tragedy, Qin Shu still kept the work at home in his heart.

Liu Yi: "Sigh, don't know if Xiaoyuan and A Li can eat well during the days I'm not here; left in a hurry, I didn't even have time to wrap some wontons or make some steamed buns in advance."

Qin Shu: "There is Lihua."

Liu Yi: "Lihua has to be busy making paper offerings and incense candles to deliver goods; the construction period was already tight, and now that I'm gone, she probably doesn't even have time to sleep at night."

Qin Shu: "Isn't there that mouse? Now that you are gone, it just happens that it can set up the stove on the dam at home."

Liu Yi: "Hmm?"

Qin Shu: "The children like the taste of the food made by that mouse; maybe the children have gotten used to it during this period. When you return home, you won't need to cook anymore; you can also have less work, can rest more, and don't need to get up early anymore."

Liu Yi glared at Qin Shu.

Qin Shu was glared at inexplicably; he was clearly thinking of reducing her burden.

"You two!"

The old lady's voice came from behind.

Qin Shu and Liu Yi immediately stood up straight.

Liu Yumei:

"For so many years, I haven't properly swung my sword in the martial arts world, just wanting to find that kind of fairy spirit from when I was young, but you two, you have to keep pouring earth qi into me at this time?

If I had known, I shouldn't have brought you two out..."

Liu Yumei's fingertips cut the sword edge, drops of fresh blood flowed out, gathered at the hilt, and in an instant, a candle flame seemed to rise inside.

Old Lady Liu was performing a secret technique, tracing the past.

The mottled white on her hair was replaced by glossy black, and her skin also became tight and delicate; the whole person returned to youth.

However, this time she used the sword as a lamp to catalyze this secret technique, which would make her pay several times the consumption and price, but she didn't care, because doing so could allow her to retain her own cognition and memory while tracing her youth.

This time, what Liu Yumei wanted was the sense of substitution of the present, not hindsight.

Seeing this, Liu Yi wanted to speak but stopped; sigh, it was rare for the old lady to be so happy today, so let her be; at worst, after returning, she would stare at her to drink three bowls of medicine soup a day to recuperate.

"... You two, those who want to farm go back to farm, those who want to cook go home to cook, don't spoil my fun here!"

Qin Shu: "Yes, mistress."

Liu Yi: "Yes, miss."

Liu Yumei's cold gaze swept toward below, saying:

"All perk up, this time, it's us collecting a large amount of interest for the grievances suffered and the anger swallowed in the past!"

Liu Yi's hair scattered, countless whispers came from her hair, and the insect patterns containing wind and water secret phases gradually emerged on her body.

It is neither complex nor terrifying; there is one Gu pattern on each arm, converging at the center of the brow on the face and extending down to the neck, possessing both the ancient charm of Central Plains Qi practitioners and the mystery of the Miao border.

Qin Shu felt it looked very good.

Remembering when she was young, when she first successfully learned this insect pattern, she was scared by this appearance and chased him every day to ask several times if it was very ugly.

Liu Yi stood on tiptoe, raised her arms to the side, palms facing up.

Accompanied by this slight posture change, dense and countless black holes appeared on the cliff wall of the mountain peak where the three of them stood, and one after another, insect larvae that seemed to have just hatched drilled out, constantly crawling and climbing, like a black waterfall hanging up.

Qin Shu twisted his neck twice, making some crisp sounds, and nine evil dragon phantoms had already emerged on his body, but because of the cover of his clothes, they couldn't be presented.

Liu Yi turned her head to look at Qin Shu, lifting her chin slightly.

Qin Shu nodded; in this round of aura competition, he took the initiative to choose to admit defeat.

Just like every comparison since childhood, the one who lost was him.

But in the end, when the mistress chose him to light the lamp and walk the river, she also felt it was reasonable.

Liu Yumei held the sword and stepped over the boundary of the mountain peak.

Liu Yi followed slowly.
