Refining the Mountains and Rivers Chapter 533

Chapter 519B – Genuine Murder License

Duan San’er crawled up until he was in front of the manager. He fell to his knees. “Uncle, although we are separated by several generations and the bloodline we share is thin, I know that you have been looking after me all this time, otherwise I never would have been able to come to Dawnperch Hotel. Today you suffered disaster because of me. In this life, there is no way for this nephew of yours to repay you. In my next life whether I am a cow or slave, I will compensate you for everything!”

The manager’s lips shivered. Then, he sighed. “Just go. The further you go, the better!”

Duan San’er smiled. “Once I send off my little sister I will stay here, otherwise the Qi Family will never give up. I must give them an explanation.”

That confession was his life.

He would die, his little sister would live.

The manager was a smart person; he soon understood this. With a shaking hand, he patted Duan San’er’s shoulder. “Originally, I wanted to raise you well as my successor. You were willing to endure hardship and you are so bright and intelligent…but what a pity, your life isn’t lucky!”

Qin Yu could see what Duan San’er was emanating right now. It was a calm disregard of one’s own life and death, something that had nothing to do with how strong one’s heart was. His thoughts stirred and he correctly guessed what the two were thinking. Unconsciously, several degrees of appreciation appeared in his eyes.

This Duan San’er was someone who knew friendship and affection. When he was being threatened by Qi Yunshu, he didn’t open his mouth even when he was about to die. Although most of this was likely because he feared his little sister would suffer retaliation, if someone valued family so deeply, how bad could they be?

If it were him, he feared he would make the same choice as Duan San’er.

Suddenly, Qin Yu thought of Gu Ling’er. That little girl, was she doing well right now?

Although this world was large, he didn’t have many family members.

Ning Ling was one of them. Gu Ling’er was one of them.

A human’s destiny was this marvelous. Duan San’er had used every possible idea in his mind to flatter Qin Yu without result, but when he fell into a hopeless situation and was ready to accept death, the opportunity fell into his hands.

Qin Yu called out to Duan San’er as he was about to leave. “I looked through this book just now and found that Demonic Path disciples have the rights to recruit several close servants. If you want, I can give you two spots.”

Duan San’er was stunned.

The manager kicked him to his knees. “You stupid boy, what are you waiting for!”

Duan San’er hurriedly bowed to the floor, tears flowing down his face. He knew that Qin Yu had saved his life and even saved his little sister’s life. Otherwise, for a young and frail girl like her whose body was in poor condition, without him blocking out the wind and rain for her, how long could she survive?

It wasn’t that he couldn’t think of it, but that he didn’t dare to think of it, he wasn’t willing to think of it. Because as long as a person was alive, there was always hope. How could he lead his little sister to die with him?

Before his mother left this world, the young Duan San’er had vowed that he would protect his little sister for the rest of her life. Even if he couldn’t do this and died before her, when he went to the underworld and saw his mother, she shouldn’t be too angry, right?

But now, all these worries had vanished into thin air. He didn’t need to die and his little sister didn’t need to leave him.

Good, everything was too good.

His tears and runny nose mixed together. Duan San’er’s swollen face was a complete mess. He looked up towards Qin Yu through blurry eyes. At this moment, he made a decision: for the rest of his life he would repay this person.

There was a bit of sourness in Qin Yu’s eyes. It had been a long time since his mood had changed so much. He took a deep breath and said in an unconsciously gentle tone, “Go. Bring your little sister over.” He turned and moved towards the rear inn. Then, he added in, “Go to the courtyard I live in. Don’t remain outside.”

Qi Yunshu had died and he was well and alive. There were likely people who had ill intent towards him. Qin Yu didn’t hope that in a rare moment when he saved someone, he would end up harming them instead.

The three True Demon Guards left Dawnperch Hotel and rode the speedcar back to the City Lord Mansion. The one who spoke with Qin Yu the entire time clearly had the most prestigious status. He reclined back in the seat, sitting in meditation with his eyes slightly closed.

The two True Demon Guards across from him revealed looks of hesitation. They glanced at each other and then one of them said, “Big Brother, do you think that your words today were a bit too straightforward?”

Wang Chao opened his eyes. “We are all brothers so there is no need to cover up your words in front of me. Are you two wondering why I decided to remind Yao Bin about the matter of killing others?” His lips curled upwards. “Okay, let’s forget that for now. Do you think that even if the Qi Family knows about what I said today, they would still dare to do anything to me?”

As he said this, the other two widened their eyes. “They dare!”

Wang Chao smiled. “That’s not right. You must remember that us brothers were lucky and suffered a great deal of hardship to become True Demon Guards. As long as we have this status, no one can touch us unless we commit some great crime.”

The third True Demon Guard said, “Big Brother, that is not what we mean. Although we don’t fear the Qi Family, for better or worse they are still considered a powerful bully in Heavenly Demon City. You and I have relatives and friends standing behind us. If we offend them, while they might not dare to do anything to us openly, they might try some equally disgusting underhanded tactics.”

Wang Chao raised one finger. “Second Brother, listen carefully to what Third Brother said. His rationale has some substance to it. When it comes to this, I can’t give much of an explanation. All you need to know is that I naturally have my reasons for being on good terms with Yao Bin.” He decided to disclose a little bit of the truth. “Whether or not we brothers can advance in the future, there is an 80% chance we will have to rely on this connection!”

He wouldn’t tell these two that he inadvertently saw the Demon Envoy and Yan Liu secretly enter Dawnperch Hotel. Moreover, he wouldn’t mention that the reason those two great figures came was in order to see Yao Bin.

With the status of the Lord Demon Envoy, would he make a trip outside just for a mere nameless junior? Although he didn’t know the specifics, Wang Chao knew that this was his opportunity.

Although life was long, these types of opportunities would only occur several times. He absolutely wouldn’t miss out on it!

….

Qi Family.

Reigning over Heavenly Demon City for 10,000 years, they had an inheritance spanning ten generations. Geniuses poured forth from their numbers and powerhouses were like clouds.

This was what people said about them.

Although such a Qi Family hadn’t been able to become a noble family due to various reasons, their true strength and background was more than enough.

Within Heavenly Demon City, this description might be overstating it, but not by much.

But today, a direct son of the Qi Family had been killed in Heavenly Demon City, slaughtered as easily as a chicken or dog.

This situation had not occurred for many, many years. So when Qi Yunshu’s corpse was brought back by Daoist Blackwhite, the entire Qi Family was instantly ignited.

Their ruthless killing intent soared into the skies!

Across the entirety of Heavenly Demon City, countless cultivators were shaken. They watched with wide eyes, waiting to see how the Qi Family would respond.

This matter spread through the mouths of the numerous cultivators who fled Dawnperch Hotel, spreading throughout Heavenly Demon City at the fastest speed possible.

The killer, Yao Bin.

His status, a new disciple of the Demonic Path.

Soon, the Qi Family’s response flowed out into the outside world. The Old Ancestor of the Qi Family directly took action, thoroughly suppressing all the Qi Family juniors who wished to take revenge for this humiliating loss. His words were: if you don’t want to live, don’t drag the entire Qi Family down with you. This is a Demonic Path disciple; to move against him is to disrespect the entire Demonic Path.

These words were a bit grand, but the general meaning wasn’t wrong.

To kill a disciple of the Demonic Path was no trifling matter.

Unless one could kill without even gods or ghosts finding out, or unless there were certain specific conditions, once the truth of a murder was confirmed, the Demonic Path would never forgive the killers. When it came to shielding their shortcomings and putting on the strongest front, throughout the entire Land of Divinity and Demons, if the Demonic Path called themselves second, no one would dare call themselves first.

Many people were left disappointed. They quietly muttered beneath their breath. What kind of powerful 10,000 year Qi Family was this? Weren’t they just the same as everyone else who liked to bully the weak but feared the strong?

Those that spoke such words didn’t understand how the wealthy and powerful survived. Because no matter what they wanted to do, the words that came out of their mouths had to be correct. But, the words they spoke were often completely unrelated, even self-contradictory, to what they would actually do.
