Chapter 1638 - 612: Haven’t You Made Enough Trouble?
The man talked to himself.
Entirely disregarding Xing Hao and Xing Zhan.
But the two of them couldn’t care less about this man’s attitude problem now.
Xing Hao’s lips trembled as he gazed at the man before him and murmured:
"Who...who exactly are you?"
"Run!!"
Suddenly, Xing Zhan grabbed Xing Hao’s wrist.
With a leap, he jumped out of the window.
Attempting to flee.
However, upon turning back, he found that the man hadn’t chased after them.
He just stood there, smiling at them through the window’s broken hole.
Entirely unconcerned if they left or not.
Xing Zhan truly didn’t run away at this point.
He stood in place, exhaled a long breath, and said to Xing Hao:
"Uncle, if you don’t leave, both of us will have to explain everything here today.
"Take our three brothers and my father, and roam the ends of the world."
Xing Hao shook his head repeatedly:
"What kind of talk is that?
"You’re still young; how could I, as your uncle, let you go to your death?
"Be obedient, leave quickly. Your martial arts are far superior to mine, you might still have a chance for revenge once you get away!"
Xing Zhan sighed:
"Precisely because of this, I can delay him for a moment.
"Otherwise, we would have to explain everything here."
"..."
Xing Hao was rendered speechless.
There was no way to refute this.
Staying here, other than desperately blocking one move, would be of no use.
Thinking of this, he felt his heart bleeding. Turning back, he saw the man inside the room was walking out unhurriedly.
Unable to restrain his anger, he shouted:
"Who exactly are you?
"Where is my father, did you... did you kill him?"
"Who am I?"
The man chuckled lightly:
"Who else could I be?
"I’m naturally your father.
"You called me father for ten years; you won’t deny it now, will you?"
"You!!"
Xing Hao was furiously angry, but suddenly was enlightened:
"Ten years?"
Ten years ago, the Ming Family Master of Wanglong Mountain died suddenly, and the eldest of the Ming Family came here with the entire clan for help.
Xing Ru Hai cried bitterly over the coffin, promising to avenge his sworn brother.
Unexpectedly, only three months later, his personality abruptly changed.
He directly drove the people of the Ming Family out of the Xing Family.
"So, ten years ago... My father’s change in personality was because you usurped everything!!"
The man laughed and glanced at Xing Zhan:
"Not leaving, have you figured it out?"
Xing Zhan gently shook his head:
"The Xing Family is vast and prosperous; how can one leave just like that?"
"That’s it."
The man smiled:
"After all, if you leave, I can still settle accounts with others.
"You rush about hurriedly, perhaps you won’t even find where your father is, and when I kill him, even if you escape, you might find it hard to sleep peacefully from then on.
"Moreover, you might not even be able to escape.
"Across Xizhou, there’s no one who can escape right under our noses.
"Weren’t the people of the Ming Family the same back then?
"Just the death of a Family Head, what’s the big deal?
"Disobedient pawns need to die.
"If they had just laid down their arms, there might have been another Ming Xiaowu in the Ming Family.
"It’s a pity they were unwilling.
"Since they were unwilling, they might as well all die.
"In this world, what’s most plentiful?
"People!
"Back then, our lord could elevate the three struggling families of Xing, Ming, and Cheng from obscurity.
"Creating a legendary story in Jianghu.
"Why can’t others have the same fortune?
"There are always many fortuitous encounters in Jianghu, but you must be careful, for these delicious fortunes might also be mixed with deadly poison."
As these words were spoken, they resonated like drumbeats in the ears of both Xing Hao and Xing Zhan.
Even Su Mo and Yu Lingxin on the rooftop exchanged glances.
These three sworn brothers’ rise in Jianghu was all due to this person’s lord?
What others thought were fortuitous encounters were actually orchestrated by them?
How many years has this play been performed?
Considering Xing Ru Hai’s age, just how old must this person’s lord be?
And was there a connection between their fortuitous encounters and their manner of death?
Just as they thought of this, the man looked at Xing Zhan again:
"Do you know why I’m telling you all this?"
"I don’t know."
Xing Zhan shook his head coldly.
"Because I still want to give you an opportunity."
The man sighed:
"You have good aptitude; if you are willing to join us, the Xing Family remains yours.
"After three days, someone will come to the Xing Family to massacre the clan and snatch away the invitations to the Jinglong Hall junior hall master’s capping ceremony.
"At that time, Xing Ru Hai and Xing Hao will both die in battle.
"Only you, Xing Zhan, can shine brilliantly.
"In the time of family crisis, repel all enemies.
"Save the collapsed building from falling!
"Making a name for yourself in Jianghu, as they say: a bird does not sing, but when it does, it shocks everyone.
"Naturally become the head of the Xing Family afterward.
"My merit will be complete, and I won’t need to be trapped in this stinking body anymore.
"And your years of suffering will finally be rewarded, won’t it be wonderful?"
Hearing this, Xing Zhan suddenly had a moment of realization:
"The people who troubled the Xing Family that night were sent by you?"
"Indeed."
The man smiled as he spoke:
"If I want you to rise in Jianghu, how could it not be prepared in advance?
"Everything was going smoothly until I never dreamed that the talentless and incapable Xing Hao would secretly find the underground palace and discover the medicine primer."
