But he couldn't help but recall the previous scenes in his mind, including Wan Ronghua's hastily dead old face and the cold face of Wan Ronghua's wife.
In recent years, Fang Fang has been loved by Wan Ronghua because of her youth and beauty. Although she is a concubine, she is much more dazzling than his wife.
Now that Wan Ronghua is dead, it's not as simple as her falling out of favor overnight.
Not to mention the squeeze from the legal wife, Wan Ronghua's children were all born to the legal wife. Once one of them becomes the head of the family, nothing good will await Fang Fang.
So she left decisively, and made up her mind even before dawn.
Before leaving, she did not forget to go back to her boudoir and take away the antiques, gold, jade and jewelry that filled the room.
The Fang family servants had no intention of stopping him. Even Wan Ronghua's wife was happy to see it happen and ordered others not to stop him.
In her opinion, it was not a bad thing that the concubine of the former owner was willing to leave on her own, so as to avoid embarrassing themselves and falling out with each other in a few days.
The sky is grey and the night is deepening.
Fang Fang was walking alone in the alley. When she was feeling resentful, she suddenly saw a figure standing motionless in front of the alley.
She felt a chill in her heart and her heartbeat began to accelerate, thinking she had run into some robber.
But when she looked closely, she was shocked. The figure in front of her looked vaguely familiar. It was her half-brother, Fang Yuan.
...
In the night.
Two figures, one in front and one behind, quickly shuttled through the streets and rooftops, turning into two blurry black shadows.
Hit the target with one strike and the enemy will escape thousands of miles away.
Qiao Mu had already killed Wan Ronghua and Qin Shiqing. For him, tonight's goal had been exceeded, so there was no point in staying there.
What surprised him even more was the person following behind him.
Luohan appeared with Qin Shiqing. He didn't look impressive, but after a brief fight with him, Qiao Mu had a rather strange feeling.
"His body doesn't seem like flesh and blood..."
Qiao Mu's Heavenly Demon Disintegrated and punched the man with all his strength, but the recoil force caused his arm to be broken, deformed and twisted.
Qiao Mu himself has practiced hard skills and his internal strength is quite strong.
He knew very well that this was not an effect that could be achieved simply by hard work or protecting the internal strength.
After all, the so-called hard skills can only make the body tougher and more resistant to blows, but no matter how much you practice, you are still a body of flesh and blood.
But at that time, the Arhat gave him the feeling that he had hit an iron wall head-on, and naturally his arm was broken and twisted.
Is this really the level that can be achieved through hard work
"Although your hard skills are extremely advanced, your light skills seem to be a little lacking?"
The speed of the Arhat behind him was not particularly fast, about the same as Qiao Mu's normal speed.
Although he was much faster than an ordinary fourth-grade warrior, he was still a little bit behind Qiao Mu who was under the explosion of the Heavenly Demon Disintegration.
The distance between the two quickly increased. When the distance was a hundred meters, the Arhat seemed to have finally given up. After glancing coldly at Qiao Mu's back, he turned around and walked back towards the Wan family's residence.
"Run away? That's fine."
The speed of the trees also slowed down.
Although he could be resurrected repeatedly, the Arhat behind him was a little weird. If he continued to fight and consumed his remaining four lives, it would probably be a waste of his life.
He thought for a moment, then used his lightness skills to fly away in a certain direction.
... .
Wanjia House.
When the Wan family fell into chaos due to the successive deaths of Wan Ronghua and Qin Shiqing.
The arhat who had just left came back very quickly.
Everyone recognized him as Qin Shiqing's subordinate, but at the moment his face was gloomy and he had a terrifying aura that made them dare not ask him.
Luohan did not have the leisure to talk to them. He quickly walked to Qin Shiqing's body, examined it briefly, looked a little anxious, picked up his body, turned around and left.
"It is common sense that the dead cannot be resurrected." Luohan said to himself:
"But maybe the Immortal Master of the Immortal Sect can..."
As soon as he left the Fang family compound, he saw a young Taoist holding a white jade bottle in his hand and wearing the robe of the Da Dao Sect standing at the corner of the street, looking at him.
"Master Daozhen?" Luohan felt happy at first, but then felt disappointed.
Daozhen, a disciple of the Da Dao Sect, is another protector of Wan Ronghua.
To be precise, Luohan was responsible for protecting Qin Shiqing's safety and preventing him from dying prematurely.
And if they encounter a major issue that even he cannot handle, then the immortal sect disciple Daozhen will come to help.
Luohan was happy that just as he was about to try to find Daozhen, the latter appeared in front of him.
What makes me disappointed is... From the looks of it, Daozhen doesn’t seem to have just arrived
"Immortals are different from mortals. Isn't the life of mortals not that important after all?" He was shocked.
"I already know what happened." Dao Zhen's face was calm. Qin Shiqing, whom he had protected, was already dead, but there was no sign of shock or anger on his face.
"The dead cannot be resurrected. This is common sense."
"Even a cultivator like me cannot revive a mortal completely. It will be of little use if you bring his body to me."
Although he said so, Daozhen spread out his sleeves, shook the storage bag on his waist, and put Qin Shiqing's body into it.
"Luohan, the matter is over. Although you failed in your duty, it is understandable. Go back first." Daozhen advised:
"As for the Qiao family member who escaped, I will deal with him."
Upon hearing this, Luohan fell silent and turned away.
Daozhen was the only one left in the alley. At this moment, his eyes fell on the white jade vase in his hand, and a look of interest flashed across his face.
"It's no wonder that Master Qingyi looks at him differently. Qin Shiqing is indeed somewhat extraordinary."
"At the moment of danger, his soul underwent a transformation and he broke through in battle... but he was just one step too late and still could not escape the fate of death."
“As for the old man from the Qiao family…” Daozhen’s body turned into a ray of rainbow light and quickly flew away.
Compared with Qin Shiqing, he was more interested in the Qiao family.
"Qin Shiqing, Wan Ronghua, and the nameless Qiao family elder all died recently."
"But my soul-binding technique did not capture the souls of the Qiao family. Instead, it captured the souls of Qin Shiqing and Wan Ronghua."
In the white vase, two faint light spots were moving closer to each other, and a blurry man's face appeared on the light spots. It was Qin Shiqing who had just died.
Daozhen stretched out two fingers, twisted the light representing Wan Ronghua, and extinguished it casually.
"Qiao family... which one is this?"
"Three people died in front of me. I failed to capture their souls three times in a row... It seems that this so-called hidden martial arts clan is more interesting than expected..."
His body turned into a rainbow and he quickly chased after him.
No matter how good Qiao Mu's lightness skill is, he still has to travel on his own two feet. He cannot compare to immortal cultivators who can fly in the air and turn into rainbows.
Chapter 171 The Secret of the Inhuman War 40 Years Ago (4K
In the alley.
Fang Yuan was standing alone at the entrance of the alley. The shadow of the wall blocked half of his face, making it difficult for Fang Fang to see his expression.
Under the moonlight, two people stood there without moving, no one spoke, their shadows stretched long on the bluestone ground.
It was actually a coincidence that Fang Yuan came here.
From "Qiao Senlin", I learned that Fang Fang had changed her identity and married Wan Ronghua, and even intentionally or unintentionally asked her former maid to frame Qiao Shuanglin... This happened several days ago.
During these few days, Fang Yuan had no plans to come to Wan Mansion to look for his relatives.
Until today when Fang Fang went out, she instructed the old man to commit fraud, but was tortured mercilessly by him. After finding out that Fang Fang was hiding behind the scenes, he finally made up his mind and prepared to go to Fang's house at night to spy.
Who knew that many changes happened in the Wan family mansion tonight. After hearing the noise, Fang Yuan didn't dare to get close and hid in the distance to eavesdrop. He could only barely guess that Wan Ronghua was assassinated to death by the Qiao family, and his little sister from the past family, whom he thought about day and night, was leaving the house with a package.
So he came here.
"Fang Fang?" Fang Yuan spoke first. He took a step forward and walked out of the shadow of the wall, allowing Fang Fang to see the expression on his face clearly.
"Why do you look like this? You're already married, and you ran away from home?" Fang Yuan didn't mention Wan Ronghua at all, his face only showed concern.
Fang Fang was startled at first, then she forced out a smile:
"It's not running away from home, it's just visiting friends."
"My husband is very generous to me and has bought me many expensive jewellery."
As she spoke, she inadvertently raised her wrist, showing off the moon-white jade bracelet on her wrist and the gold hairpin adorning her hair in the moonlight.
"Really?" Fang Yuan still smiled, and moved sideways to make room for her to pass.
"If you have time, remember to go back to the old house."
"I have bought back the old house where my parents lived. The two trees in the yard have grown a lot taller, but the small vegetable garden that my mother planted in the corner of the yard has been abandoned..."
"Haha, I'm tired tonight. Next time I will..." Fang Fang smiled fakely.
"Do you remember what Dad said before he died? He planted those two jujube trees, saying that people who plant trees can pick the fruits. When you have children in a few years, the jujube trees will be ready to bear fruit. You can come back in the fall..."
The two siblings walked in the alley one after the other. Although the atmosphere was a little stiff, they smiled and chatted about family matters from time to time, so it was not too awkward.
But as they walked, the smile on Fang Fang's face became more and more stiff, and in the end she even became a little impatient.
"Stop pretending, Fang Yuan." Fang Fang suddenly said.
Fang Yuan was stunned and paused for a moment: "What are you pretending for?"
"Pretend to be a friendly brother and a respectful sister." Fang Fang also put away the fake smile on her face, leaving only indifference:
"You chose this time to show up, didn't you just want to see how miserable I am?"
"Yes, I am down and out now, and was kicked out by the Wan family, but I still have money and jewelry that can be pawned. Sooner or later, I will be able to make a comeback."
As she spoke, Fang Fang patted the bulging package, and the sound of gold and silver objects colliding could be heard from inside.
Fang Yuan stopped, turned around, and his face turned gloomy.
"Why don't you continue to act with me? Even if it's just one play, it can at least give me some comfort."
When he returned to the old house, he talked to Qiao Mu about many good memories of the old house, including the two jujube trees planted by his father and his mother's small vegetable garden... but his sister Fang Fang was missing.
Fang Yuan put his hands on his waist and slowly drew out the long sword from his waist. The blade reflected the light in the moonlight.
"You?!" Fang Fang was filled with fear and trepidation, secretly saying "Oh no" in her heart.
Seeing her brother who was not related to her by blood, she secretly had the idea of competing with him, and she impulsively showed off her money...
It's all over now. Fang Yuan is greedy for money. I'm afraid he's going to kill her here... .
"Fang Yuan, what do you want to do? I'm your sister." Fang Fang couldn't help but shout.
"Now you know that you are the younger sister and I am the older brother?" Fang Yuan's voice turned cold:
"How can you marry Wan Ronghua?"
"Your biological father and my biological mother both died at the hands of Wan Ronghua..."
"It's not just them. Senior Qiao, who helped out for a good cause, was also dragged into this and died... It seems like you were behind his death?"
He drew his knife and looked at his sister Fang Fang in front of him.
Fang Fang's lips turned pale with fear, but she still stubbornly refused to lower her head, staring with wide eyes and saying:
"Who told my father to be partial and unfair? I am obviously his biological daughter, why should he give you the family property? It would be better for you to marry into the Wan family as a concubine."
"At least after the Wan family seizes the Fang family's assets, I can also have a share of it..." Fang Fang said sarcastically:
"My dear brother, what are you talking about? You are just trying to find a righteous reason for your robbery-----"
She hadn't finished her words.
A bright flash of a knife flashed in the alley, and blood splattered all over Fang Yuan.
Fang Fang opened her eyes wide and her body slowly fell to the ground.
