Chapter 399: Is Your Home in Qingshan Village?

Xiao Moting let go of his hand, turned around, and glared at these few people.

He was clad in black armor, his entire body exuding a murderous aura, his presence imposing and oppressive.

Xiao Moting looked down from above, coldly eyeing the three of them, his gaze finally landing on the face of Thousand-Household Tian.

"I heard you want to kill me?"

Thousand-Household Tian had long since lost that smug, carried-away air from just moments ago; he knelt on the ground, shivering uncontrollably.

"Xiao... no, Prince of Zhenbei, spare my life."

Zhou Yanli flicked his wrist to perform a sword flourish, sheathed his Long Sword, and spoke indifferently.

"Xiao Moting, it's a good thing you arrived in time."

At this moment, the village head and his wife, who were kneeling on the ground, realized that something terrible had happened; both of them were trembling all over, their faces covered in snot and tears.

"What, he, he is the Beijiang War God, the Prince of Zhenbei?"

"Prince of Zhenbei, spare us, please spare us!"

The Prince of Zhenbei's reputation was far-reaching, and the couple had heard of him, but they never expected that the legendary War God would actually appear here.

The two of them kowtowed incessantly until their heads were swollen.

Xiao Moting remained expressionless and spoke in a cold voice.

"Informing on me? Then kill them all!"

Upon hearing this, the couple was even more terrified, collapsing onto the ground and kowtowing non-stop.

"We beg the Prince of Zhenbei to show mercy! We know we were wrong; we will never dare to inform on you again."

"Bai, we were wrong, we were wrong! Please, beg the Prince of Zhenbei to show mercy and spare our lives."

The two of them were crying until they were breathless, but Bai Wei watched coldly from the sidelines, not saying a word.

People who repay kindness with enmity are not worth pitying.

Suddenly, a figure lunged over, shouting loudly.

"Demoness, I'll fight you to the death!"

The couple looked up and immediately screamed in terror.

"Zhuzi, why are you here?"

The young man who had charged over was full of rage, holding a large blade in his hand.

Bai Wei recognized that this young man was the couple's son, and also one of the able-bodied men she had previously saved.

Zhou Yanli spoke coldly, "Repaying kindness with enmity; truly, like seed, like fruit."

The young man gritted his teeth and pointed at Bai Wei.

"Demoness, tell them to let my parents go..."

Before he could finish his sentence, a line of blood suddenly appeared on his neck, followed by a surge of blood.

Bang!

The young man fell to the ground with wide, terrified eyes.

Behind him, Xiao Lujing looked indifferent; he flipped his hand to put away his Dagger, which was as thin as a cicada's wing, and turned to leave without saying a word.

When the village head and his wife saw that their son was dead, they became even more frantic.

"My son!"

"You surnamed Bai, we'll fight you to the death..."

Before the two could reach Bai Wei, a cold light flashed past.

Xiao Moting thrust his Long Sword out, killing the village head and his wife.

"Things that do not know how to be grateful need not remain in this world."

Seeing this scene, Thousand-Household Tian was so scared that he collapsed on the ground, unable to even crawl; he knew the reputation of the Prince of Zhenbei, but he had not expected the other party to be so ruthless, killing without a second thought.

Xiao Moting glanced at him and shouted coldly.

"Take him away and deal with him."

Two soldiers from the Beijiang Army rushed up and dragged Thousand-Household Tian away.

Xiao Moting sheathed his Long Sword, then strode over to Bai Wei, placed his hands on her shoulders, and quickly looked her up and down.

"Bai, just now... you weren't frightened, were you?"

His tone carried a hint of nervousness; he was a completely different person from the fierce and ruthless man he had been just moments ago.

Bai Wei shook her head quickly.

She was too happy to see him to be frightened.

Besides, Xiao Moting's ruthlessness was only directed at others; in front of her, he was very obedient and followed her every wish.

"Xiao Moting, where have you been all this time? I couldn't find you anywhere."

"And, I used the Jade Pendant to send you messages, why didn't you reply?"

"What happened during this time?"

Bai Wei asked a series of questions, voicing all the doubts she had accumulated over these days.

Xiao Moting hesitated for a moment, "Actually, that day I was swept into the sea and lost consciousness, but someone saved me..."

Before he could finish, a person walked out from the mist not far away.

Bai Wei looked up and vaguely saw that the person was advanced in age, with white hair and a white beard, walking very slowly.

But at this moment, Zhou Yanli, who was beside them, suddenly shuddered, a look of shock appearing in his eyes.

"Master?"

"What, this is your master?" Bai Wei was also extremely surprised, "Your master saved Xiao Moting?"

As she spoke, she looked up.

The old man had already walked out of the mist, wearing a blue cloth long gown, his figure thin and lean, holding a Long Sword in his hand.

When Bai Wei saw his appearance clearly, she was also shocked and covered her mouth with her hand.

"How could it be..."

Xiao Moting immediately asked, "Bai Wei, what is it?"

Bai Wei's breathing was rapid, her heart beating fast, almost jumping out of her chest.

She covered her mouth, staring fixedly at the old man walking over, her mind a complete blank.

How could it be possible?

This old man actually looked exactly like her grandfather who had been missing for a long time?

Her grandfather had already gone missing; how could he be in Daliang?

Before Bai Wei was even born, she had heard her mother say that her grandfather had been missing for many years, and she had never seen him.

However, she had seen her grandfather's appearance in photographs.

Even though her grandfather in the photos was very young at the time and the old man before her was advanced in age, both his facial features and his gaze were exactly the same.

Just at this moment, the old man also drew near.

Zhou Yanli suppressed his excitement, rushed forward, and knelt on the ground all at once.

"Master!"

"A-Li, long time no see." The old man also revealed a look of deep emotion, bending down to help him up, "I have been overseas for so many years, and now I have finally returned. How have you been all these years? I heard you went to Yannan to offer counsel to Yuan Canghai?"

Zhou Yanli was also extremely excited and stood up from the ground.

"Master, I have already left Yannan. This is a long story; since you have returned, I will tell you slowly later."

The old man nodded slightly, his gaze crossing over his shoulder to see Bai Wei.

Suddenly, he stiffened in alarm.

"This young lady..."

Zhou Yanli hurriedly explained, "Master, her name is Bai Wei, she is..."

When he reached this point, he suddenly stopped, his brows slightly furrowed.

Bai Wei had already told him that she was a person from another world a thousand years in the future; if he were to bring this up to his master, it would likely be impossible to explain in just a few words.

But just at this moment, the old man suddenly became agitated, stumbling as he ran toward Bai Wei.

"Bai Wei? Are you the young lady the Prince of Northern Suppression spoke of, who came to Daliang from the modern world and lives in Qingshan Village?"

"Xiao Wei, so your name is Xiao Wei! Is your mother named Li Hong? Does your family have a Farm in Qingshan Village? Is there a peach grove and a fish pond in the Farm?"

Bai Wei was stunned, "Yes, my mom is named Li Hong, how do you know about my family's Farm?"

The old man became even more agitated, almost shedding tears of old age, "You really look just like your grandmother! Is your grandmother doing well in Qingshan Village? Has she ever mentioned me to you? Right, I left before your mother was born; has your grandmother ever held a grudge against me?"
