612 Can’t Escape

Miao Yuehua had taken too much from Little Niu. She couldn’t return it.

All Su Xiaolu could do was to let her eat it without digesting it. She would live in pain day and night.

Miao Yuehua glared at Su Xiaolu.

Su Xiaolu sneered. “You’re wrong. What happened before was between you and me. Now, I’m taking revenge for my Junior Brother. These are two separate matters. Don’t lump them together. I’ll be unhappy when I hear that.”

“My Junior Brother has the five ills and three shortcomings, poor and crippled. Don’t worry, I’ll mute you and cripple you. As for being poor, I believe you’ll find out soon enough.”

Su Xiaolu clapped her hands in disdain.

She looked at flute Yi and said coldly under Miao Yuehua’s furious and desperate gaze, “Only the successor of the divine doctor of Minggu can treat your son’s illness. Unfortunately, you have already offended the divine doctor of Minggu.”

“I’m the successor of the divine doctor of Minggu. Even if your son dies in front of me, I won’t save him. He has stolen twelve years. He should be satisfied.”

Su Xiaolu’s words destroyed Miao Yuehua’s hope.

With that, Su Xiaolu went out.

Miao Yuehua was furious, indignant, and regretful…

Su Xiaolu left with Little Niu. Father Xiao chased after her, but he did not see her. He went back in disappointment.

Su Xiaolu walked away with Little Niu.

“Senior Sister, thank you. I’ve already let go of my worries. I don’t care about their future.”

Little Niu’s smile was warm and peaceful. The evil in his heart had already left with the return of his body. He was blind, but his heart was no longer depressed. Actually, he was reborn.

Su Xiaolu looked at Little Niu’s smile. It took her a while to believe him.

“Alright, let’s set off again and return to the capital. I’ll bring you to meet my family and get to know my siblings.”

Su Xiaolu pulled Little Niu and spoke as they walked.

Little Niu paused, then nodded with a smile. “Alright, Senior Sister treats me so well, I should meet them too.”

Su Xiaolu treated him as family, so her family was his family.

When he came, he was tense, but when he returned, he was relaxed.

Miao Yuehua wanted to curse Su Xiaolu and Little Niu, but she couldn’t even speak.

Her body hurt. She hated it.

The Gu that she had raised in her son, Xiao Yi’s body, was also lost.

After Chen Xi’s Gu entered Xiao Yi’s body, he started to scream in pain.

He kept shouting, “Mother, save me…”

These screams made Miao Yuehua’s heart ache, but there was nothing she could do.

After Xiao Yii calmed down, a Gu worm returned to Chen Xi’s body from the wound.

Madam Tian got down from the table and gently bandaged Chen Xi’s wound.

Chen Xi smiled foolishly. “Mother Yan, let’s go home quickly. I want to eat pastries.”

Madam Tian carefully bandaged his wound and smiled at Chen Xi before walking towards Miao Yuehua.

“Madam Miao, you’ve done many evil deeds. I’ve destroyed your ability to make Gu. It’s not anyone else’s fault that you’re where you are today. It’s all because you’ve done too many evil deeds. I’ll spare your lives today. I hope you know what to do.”

Madam Tian had a serious expression.

Miao Yuehua’s gaze was like a venomous snake. She hated it.

However, she regretted it. If she had not had any ill intentions when she bought the pills, would this not have happened?

It wasn’t easy for her to get to where she was today. But now, everything was gone.

Did she really have to return what she stole?

If she had to return it, why did the heavens let her succeed in stealing it? ‘God, why are you doing this to me?!’

When Chen Xi and his wife came out of the room, Madam Tian took a flint and lit it.

The powder surrounding the outside of the house immediately burned up and extinguished itself in a short moment.

Father Xiao was dumbfounded and did not dare to get too close. He asked carefully, “Masters, is that all?”

Chen Xi said coldly, “It’s not a troublesome matter. It’s already been resolved.”

“Mother Yan, let’s go home.”

Chen Xi urged Madam Tian. He just wanted to go home as soon as possible.

Madam Tian looked at Father Xiao and said, “You’re also a sinner. Do more good deeds for the rest of your life to atone for your sins.”

Father Xiao lowered his eyes in shame and repeatedly replied, “Yes.” He had committed too many sins. The past twelve years have been like a dream. Now that he had woken up from the dream, he could no longer lie to himself.

He remembered when he was still a blacksmith. Back then, he was poor and had no parents. He only yearned for a family and a gentle wife to spend the rest of his life with.

God had treated him well. He had married a good wife and lived the life he had dreamed of.

But… he had changed his mind after all. He had betrayed her and harmed her.

It was his retribution for ending up like this.

When he woke up from his dream, he should return to where he came from.

After sending off the benefactors, Father Xiao began to deal with the assets.

He sent Miao Yuehua and Xiao Yi to the medical center and paid some money to treat their injuries.

Flustered, Xiao Yi called out to him, “Father, father, I’m Yi’er…”

Father Xiao’s heart was as hard as stone. He didn’t care and he didn’t look.

He donated all his wealth to the temple so that the temple would forever light up a longevity token for his wife and pray for her every day. As for himself, he returned to his old house and started his days as a blacksmith again.

The neighbors who had lost contact with him sighed when they saw him return.

No matter how they tested him, Father Xiao remained silent.

Rumors would eventually die down, and life would finally return to peace. He was originally a poor blacksmith, and now, he could only be himself. Only then would he feel at ease.

Su Xiaolu and the others left Yulin county.

The secret guards who had been paying attention to her also went back to report.

Li Yu was practicing his swordplay. His steps were steady and the sword in his hand was lively. He stopped and wiped his sword with a handkerchief as he listened to the secret guards report.

“I thought we’d meet again.”

Li Yu smiled.

He was a little disappointed to know that Su Xiaolu and her disciple had left.

He did not interact much with Su Xiaolu, but for some reason, he felt that Su Xiaolu was the same kind of person as him. He had also investigated everything Su Xiaolu had done recently. The little girl had caught his attention and he was very happy to see her.

Li Yu had always felt that he would never fall in love with women again, but thinking back, he found it funny. It had only been two years.

“Young Master, we’ve captured them. They’re all clamoring to see you.”

Another secret guard returned and reported respectfully.

Li Yu kept his sword and smiled. “They want to see me?”

“Then let’s meet.”

He threw the sword to the guard beside him and strode away.

He had expected that the man and woman would not be able to escape, but he also hoped that something unexpected would happen.

They were caught so easily. There was really no challenge at all.

He was no longer interested. This meeting should be the final conclusion.

Wang Mian had always thought that he could escape, but when the person chasing him came, he despaired.
