Here, the three dead martial artists not only alarmed the surrounding monks, but also the headman of the town.
However, the head of the pavilion usually only maintains law and order for the people in the town. They cannot interfere in matters concerning cultivators. What's more, the deceased is a cultivator at the martial artist level, which makes the situation even more difficult for them.
Therefore, they could only find a way to find out the identities of the three martial artists before notifying their families.
But the news quickly spread in the town. After all, three martial artists died at once, which was no small matter in this town.
As for these, Fengjiu didn't care. After returning to the courtyard, she entered the space to practice.
The black market mercenaries in the town seemed to have automatically avoided the task of hunting her down. The next few days passed peacefully, and both of them were busy practicing. Until one day a few days later, Guan Xilin, who had just returned from buying food, walked into the yard in a daze.
"Brother?" Feng Jiu, who was practicing Tai Chi in the yard, noticed that something was wrong with him and called out to him, but there was no response.
"Brother?" She called again, and he suddenly came back to his senses.
"Ah? Xiaojiu, you called me?" He calmed down and looked at her, forcing a smile, but he didn't know that his smile seemed forced.
"What's wrong with you? Did something happen?" she asked, walking towards him.
Guan Xilin lowered his head slightly in silence and said nothing.
"Don't want to tell me? Then I won't ask."
Hearing this, he raised his head hastily: "No, Xiaojiu, it's just, it's just..."
He looked at her for a long time, and said in a somewhat bitter tone: "I went out to buy something, and heard the news from the family that my cousin is getting married."
Having known each other for so long, she had never asked about his background or his family, and he had never asked about her family either. This was the first time she heard him mention his family.
"You want to go back to his wedding?"
His hand involuntarily touched the healed wound on his waist and abdomen, and he said in a somewhat sad voice: "Xiaojiu, do you know? I have been raised by my uncle since I was six years old, and practiced martial arts with my cousin. Although we are not born of the same mother, I have always respected him and regarded him as my brother. However, I never thought that he would suddenly kill me from behind."
"If you hadn't saved me, I think I would be dead now. I couldn't understand why he wanted to kill me, but when I heard that he wanted to kiss her, I realized it was for her."
"She?" She was a little surprised.
"Well, the woman he married was the third daughter of the Ke family, Ke Xinya. She was the fiancée my father arranged for me."
Hearing this, Fengjiu's eyes widened, she was a little dumbfounded, what on earth was going on? Being assassinated by her cousin, and having her fiancée robbed? She looked at him with some sympathy, thinking that her cheap brother was really miserable.
Looking at his lonely expression, she asked curiously, "Brother, do you like that girl?"
Guan Xilin shook his head: "I can't say I like her, but I've known since I was a child that she would be my woman when she grows up. Now I hear that she's going to marry someone else, and that person is my cousin. I feel bad and wronged."
“Puff!”
