Su Xiruo took the opportunity to attack from the back, with more than ten concealed weapons striking at the same time, their speed was extremely fast, who knew that Lu Qingmo had already sensed them, with a flick of his sleeves, he returned the hidden weapons back.
Seeing the concealed weapon coming straight at her and not giving her any chance to react, Su Xiruo did not make a move. A golden light flashed in front of her and Mu Jin appeared, blocking all the hidden weapons for her.
"Mu Jin, you …" Seeing Mu Jin appear, although he was human, Su Xiruo was more or less nervous.
After all, Lu Qingmo was a Spirit Monarch. It was unknown if he could recognize that this Mu Jin was a spirit beast.
"Mistress, if he dares to bully you, I will help you kill him!" Mu Jin looked at Lu Qingmo with hatred, the Spiritual Strength in his palm had already condensed and was ready to attack at any moment.
Mu Jin was currently a Six Rank Spiritual Beast, which was equivalent to the strength of a human Spirit Monarch. Of course, normally speaking, the strength of spirit beasts at the same level would be slightly higher than that of humans.
When Lu Qingmo saw Mu Jin, he instantly felt the surrounding Strength of Beast Spirit s in Mu Jin's body.
This is... Isn't this?
Before he could even react, Mu Jin's palm sent him flying, and he quickly got up from the ground and begged for forgiveness, "Please show mercy, please show mercy, I … I will keep my promise! "
Only then did Mu Jin withdraw his hand. Lu Qingmo walked forward and grabbed Lu Qingmo's arm, as if he had seen an old friend. "Where did you come from?"
"Let go?" Mu Jin flung Lu Qingmo's hand away with a face of vigilance, and said coldly, "I naturally came here with my master, what does it have to do with you?"
"Your master?" Lu Qingmo looked at Su Xiruo in shock, he could not believe it, "This girl, is your master?"
Su Xiruo frowned, he was afraid that if he continued to ask, he would bring disaster to Mu Jin, so he interrupted the conversation between the two: "Lu Qingmo! I don't think you have any right to know who my subordinates are! "Just now, you said that you are willing to keep your promise. In that case, bring us to meet him!"
After she finished speaking, she took a small step forward and shielded Mu Jin behind her.
At this time, Lu Qingmo let out a small sigh: "Are you really forcing me like this?"
"What do you mean?" Qing Xuan did not understand what he meant, "Could it be that Qing Er is not in your hands?"
When he had just entered the academy, he had personally seen it once. Could it be that Qing Er was no longer in his hands now?
"It's in my hands." Lu Qingmo's tone sounded somewhat helpless, "But if you were to say it out loud, I'm afraid that you won't be able to take it."
Qing Xuan opened his eyes wide, countless of bad thoughts flashed past his mind, and he anxiously asked: "Just what happened, what happened to Qing Er, you tell me, quickly tell me!"
He grabbed Lu Qingmo's shoulder without letting go, afraid that would not say anything, and furthermore, afraid that he would hear some bad news from him.
"Qing Er is already dead." Finally, Lu Qingmo told them the truth. Their expressions became more serious.
"What?" Qing Xuan fell to the ground, his mind was completely blank, as if he thought he had heard wrongly, and continuously shook his head, "Impossible, how could this be?, How could Qing Er die!"
Following that, he glared at Lu Qingmo with bloodshot eyes, like a wild beast. "It was you who killed Qing Er, it was you who killed her, right?"
After he finished speaking, he reached out his hand to pinch Lu Qingmo's neck, and Su Xiruo pulled him away. "Qing Xuan, calm down first, and let him explain everything clearly!"
Qing Xuan closed both his eyes, feeling extreme grief. It was as if at this moment, the sky had darkened by a lot, and his vision became a field of gray: "How do you want me to calm down? The reason I spent so much effort to enter the academy was to find the whereabouts of Qing Er, but now that Qing Er is dead, what meaning does it have to me to live? "
Su Xiruo let out a faint sigh, turned around and coldly questioned Lu Qingmo: "Lu Qingmo, I hope that you will not hide everything from us!"
Right now, the most important thing was to know the cause of Qing Er's death. If he died because of Lu Qingmo, then no matter what, she would help Qing Xuan take revenge!
"Sigh, I'll take you guys to a place." On Lu Qingmo's face, there seemed to be many traces of helplessness and discomfort.
Thus, they followed Lu Qingmo to a small dark secret room. The temperature inside was extremely low, and the moment they entered, they saw an ice coffin lying on the ground, and inside the ice coffin, was a female corpse.
"Qing Er, Qing Er!" Qing Xuan immediately lost control of his emotions, he rushed forward and looked at the familiar face inside the ice coffin, then extended his hand out to touch it.
He called out his sister's name, but this time, he knew that no matter how much he called out to her, she would never wake up again.
Lu Qingmo took out a letter and a rough silver hairpin, and gave them to Qing Xuan: "This is Qing Er's will, and there are still things left behind."
Qing Xuan turned his head and shakily received it. Looking at the old and mottled silver hairpin, his tears fell onto the letter.
Since he was young, he and his sister had been mutually dependent, roaming all over the place. The two of them had no one to rely on and only when they relied on Qing Xuan to do odd jobs could the brother and sister barely make a living.
Back then, in order to give his sister a pleasant surprise, Qing Xuan had saved a lot of money from buying this silver hairpin. He had also saved some leftover food from the tavern, and then bought his sister some food to eat before going back.
When Qing Er received the silver hairpin, he was wild with joy and treated it as his treasure. From then on, he carried it on his body and never left it.
Qing Xuan slowly unfolded Qing Er's will. The will was not long, but he read each word carefully, and when he finished reading it, his fingers curled tightly, and his tears flowed like a dam that had burst, unable to be stopped long ago: "Qing Er, why are you hiding this from big brother?"
A year ago, Qing Er accidentally fell into a serious illness. Although at that time, Qing Xuan went to accept missions, earning him quite a bit of commission, he did not know much about medical skills, and Qing Er's illness was also a terrifying bottomless pit. Qing Xuan took his sister, and went to every nook and cranny to seek medical treatment, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Therefore, in order to no longer implicate Big Brother, Qing Er chose to leave the Profound Yin Empire on his own. Leaving Big Brother's side, after wandering around and intruding into the Mercenary Academy, he was kept by Lu Qingmo.
Lu Qingmo explained to him blandly: "Qing Er told me a lot of things about you guys, and then, you followed the clues and found the Mercenary Academy, and found me. At that time, I had also begged Qing Er for help from many doctors, but her condition never improved, so she didn't want to burden you further, and begged me to keep you guys, and didn't want to see you, so I thought of a way for you to retreat until she died peacefully. Thus, I followed her intentions and made a request of a hundred thousand gold coins to make things difficult for you.
Qing Xuan's fingerbone was almost embedded into his flesh, the dizzying sensation made him breathless: "Qing Er, when did she die?"
"Three days ago." As Lu Qingmo said till here, his eyes also seemed to be a little red. "After I finished taking care of her affairs, I urged you to hand over a hundred thousand gold coins. Then, according to what Qing Er had said, she had already left the academy. However, when I saw how sorrowful and heartbroken you were earlier, I felt that you should have the right to know about this matter. "
"Qing Er doesn't want to make you sad, and she doesn't want you to know about her death. But I feel that, as her brother, no matter what, you should have the right to know the true situation of your own sister." Lu Qingmo let out a faint sigh, and her voice was choked with emotions, "Qing Xuan, I'm sorry. Perhaps, I should have told you earlier about this."
Su Xiruo stood at the back and was slightly shocked when he heard the sequence of events.
He really did not expect that Qing Xuan coming to Mercenary Academy was just to find his sister. But now, her only hope had also been destroyed, and to him, this could really be considered a heavy blow.
"Qing Er." Qing Xuan lay in front of the ice coffin and cried, "Why didn't you tell Big Brother? Why would I feel like you are a burden? Other than you, I have no other family members in this world! "
