Chapter 2042: You Must Leave, You Must Hide
In an instant, Murong Jianyun’s entire face went blank, his expression exactly matching that of Mieqing Venerable earlier.
Damn, Sikong Jing’s parents came from Canghai Wujiang, and the masked woman turned out to be too...
What’s even scarier is that the masked woman might now be Pei Kuang’s lover.
It’s simply too terrifying.
He immediately snapped back to reality and stared intently at Sikong Jing. Now, he finally understood why Sikong Jing had achieved such earth-shattering, ghost-weeping accomplishments, for he was hiding such a shocking lineage.
However, Murong Jianyun certainly didn’t know that Sikong Jing’s circumstances were even more extraordinary than he imagined...
At this moment, Sikong Jing suddenly smiled and asked, "Great Heaven Decision, are you afraid?"
Murong Jianyun froze suddenly, his gaze fixed on Sikong Jing, then he chuckled lightly, saying, "Let’s just do it."
The current situation had reached this point; besides doing it, we should do it aggressively.
Moreover, he now trusts Sikong Jing even more, and he feels Sikong Jing’s future will be incredibly formidable.
Perhaps his lineage gave him various boosts to his Martial Arts Talent, but Murong Jianyun knew well that Sikong Jing’s path wasn’t solely explainable by talent.
Every enemy he faced was extraordinarily fearsome.
Even if replaced by someone with greater talent, they would probably have already met their end.
Then the two of them detailed their future plans once again, including tomorrow’s matters. Additionally, Sikong Jing revealed to Murong Jianyun about Yao Yulou being a pawn of the Qianwang Holy Tower.
And Murong Jianyun, of course, would not betray Yao Yulou...
...
While Sikong Jing and Murong Jianyun discussed their plan, Yao Yulou was wandering in the Teng Mansion, his hand grasping the letter trembling non-stop, as Sikong Jing observed, full of worry.
Because if it were just this letter of transmission and the Qianwang order, it would be fine.
But it wasn’t just that!
Before Sikong Jing returned to Overlord City, he received an order to assassinate Pei Kuang.
He must assassinate within three days of Sikong Jing’s return. Success means life, failure means death!
Even if not dead, he would be imprisoned with his parents in the Thousand Prison Tower. If only it were just this, but Pei Kuang also said that if he fails, his pawn would be replaced by his sister... Yao Yuzhi!
Meaning, Yao Yuzhi would then take over his role from now on.
At this point, Yao Yulou slowly walked to the entrance of his courtyard residence in the Teng Mansion. Inside the courtyard sat three people... Hua Lidian, Hua Meixi, and his beloved Jiang Wanyou.
Indeed, Jiang Wanyou’s former husband had come, and he was rescued by Sikong Jing.
This day, Hua Meixi and Yang Yi quickly brought Hua Lidian and Yisuo to Teng Mansion nearby Ba Lie Mansion after receiving Sikong Jing’s transmission, which made Yao Yulou slightly awkward.
Or rather not awkward, he’s absolutely trusting of Jiang Wanyou, but he must give space for past grievances to be resolved.
After all, Hua Lidian is Hua Meixi’s biological father...
Thus, Yao Yulou voluntarily left, allowing the three to talk in his courtyard, putting their feelings out in the open.
At this moment, their eyes were all red...
And Yao Yulou certainly didn’t disturb them, standing idly in a corner outside.
At this moment, Hua Meixi suddenly spoke, "For Sikong Jing’s sake, I reluctantly forgive you."
Upon hearing this, Yao Yulou realized they hadn’t finished talking.
Regarding Hua Meixi using Sikong Jing as an excuse, Yao Yulou couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly. This stepdaughter was still the same, tough-talking but soft-hearted, clearly forgiving yet still needing an excuse.
Inside the courtyard, Hua Lidian’s voice immediately rang out, happy beyond measure, "Meixi, thank you, I, I, I..."
Hua Lidian was instantly rendered speechless, tears streaming down his face.
Seeing his father’s state and expression, Hua Meixi was clearly moved but retorted, "Although mother and I forgive your forced abandonment, mother is now Uncle Yao’s."
The voice fell, and Hua Lidian’s expression stiffened slightly, then he sighed long and nodded heavily.
He assured them that he wouldn’t cause Jiang Wanyou any trouble or influence, for he was already prepared mentally.
Simultaneously, Jiang Wanyou gently spoke, "Fate makes fools of people; maybe our destiny was just transient clouds, merely tragedies under this cruel world, I’m sorry."
Back then, Hua Lidian didn’t abandon them out of disregard but had to make decisions for family safety.
He had to save his family first, but by the time he returned, he couldn’t find the mother and daughter, which was perhaps destiny.
To this, Hua Lidian merely smiled bitterly, although heartbroken, he accepted his fate.
Yet Hua Lidian didn’t realize, outside, Yao Yulou suddenly stood frozen.
He suddenly realized something and stared intensely at Hua Lidian in the dark, then slowly shifted his gaze to Jiang Wanyou, finally clenching his fists as if making a certain decision.
Suddenly, Yao Yulou turned and left.
He wandered like a lost soul towards the courtyard where his sister Yao Yuzhi was.
However, Yao Yulou didn’t realize that when he left, Jiang Wanyou’s gaze suddenly moved to where he had been standing.
In Jiang Wanyou’s eyes, she also seemed to make a certain decision...
Not long after, Yao Yulou arrived at Yao Yuzhi’s courtyard and found his sister.
He gently asked, "Yuzhi, do you trust brother?"
Upon hearing this, Yao Yuzhi was stunned.
She stared confusedly at Yao Yulou, then replied blankly, "Brother, what are you saying? Of course, I trust you."
Taking a deep breath...
Yao Yulou suddenly spoke with eyes turning red, "Then, you must follow my instructions; tomorrow at dawn, you must leave the Teng Mansion immediately, and leave Overlord City for a place where no one can find you."
Hearing these words, Yao Yuzhi was dumbfounded; she stared wide-eyed, utterly confused.
Why was brother Yao Yulou suddenly asking her to leave?
"Don’t ask anything, and don’t tell anyone I asked you to leave, including Ajing."
"You must hide deeply, and ensure no one finds you. Then wait, wait until Ajing can fully confront Qianwang Holy Tower, then reappear and find him..."
Upon saying this, Yao Yulou’s entire body trembled, but his gaze was fiercely determined.
Yao Yuzhi had already become completely flustered, knowing there must be something significant, or brother wouldn’t act like this.
Just as she was about to ask, Yao Yulou suddenly spoke sternly, "Don’t ask. You only need to know that following my instructions is the only way to save our parents..."
Upon hearing this, Yao Yuzhi was stunned again.
She was utterly shocked and asked, "Brother, aren’t our parents no longer alive?"
To this, Yao Yulou gritted his teeth and said, "No, our parents are still alive..."
"But if you don’t do what I say, they will die, and you will be the cause of their deaths."
