339 Hurting Someone Else and Get Hurt Yourself

Xiao Hong didn’t want Liu Ruxue to say anything, but she didn’t follow his wishes. “He’s a b*stard. Did I say anything wrong? Maybe he’s the son you had with some other woman outside. He’s taken my son’s place for so long, so what happened to him was really too light!”

“Pa!”

The loud slap interrupted Liu Ruxue’s words. She was stunned and said in disbelief, “You actually dare to hit me?”

Xiao Hong had doted on Liu Ruxue for so many years. He didn’t even want a strand of her hair to drop, let alone hit her. However, she was now slapped in front of everyone. She was so angry that she rushed over.

“Who asked you to hit me!”

Xiao Hong’s face instantly turned red from her slaps. He grabbed Liu Ruxue’s hand and his expression was dark. “Have you had enough?! If it wasn’t for your interference, things wouldn’t have come to this.”

Xiao Mingyan felt that it was full of irony as he looked at the loving couple in the past. Now, they were hurting each other and themselves. He didn’t want to stay here, and he didn’t want to continue watching this farce.

It turned out that the reason Liu Ruxue and Xiao Wuyou were so cold to Xiao Mingyan was because of his background. Liu Ruxue’s dislike for him had long been a clue, but he had always been blinded by kinship.

Under Liu Ruxue’s influence, Xiao Wuyou naturally didn’t treat his so-called brother well. Xiao Mingyan had also completely let go of any concerns for them, and he no longer had any expectations or fondness for the Xiao clan.

“From now on, I’m cutting off all ties with the Xiao clan.”

His voice resounded throughout Jade City, and Xiao Hong’s face turned pale. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but found that he couldn’t say anything.

Xiao Mingyan walked up to Xiao Wuyou and looked down at him from above. Xiao Wuyou had been like this earlier, even humiliating him in all ways. Now, the tables had turned.

Liu Ruxue couldn’t be bothered to argue with Xiao Hong. She quickly ran over and said with a vigilant look, “What are you doing? He’s your brother, after all. We’ve had decades of kinship. Even if he’s in the wrong, please forgive him on account of his young age.”

He was already in his twenties, and he was still considered young…?

Hearing this, everyone blushed with embarrassment. However, Liu Ruxue was still acting as if she was in the right. Why didn’t she care about their kinship when she was treating Xiao Mingyan cruelly? She only remembered about it now.

Regardless of whether it was Xiao Hong’s or Liu Ruxue’s words, they were no longer able to cause any waves in Xiao Mingyan’s heart. He just looked on indifferently, with no emotion in his eyes. It was as if he was looking at a stranger, or even worse than a stranger.

When Liu Ruxue met his unfathomable gaze, she couldn’t help but shiver. If Xiao Mingyan really started a fight, no one in the Xiao clan would be able to stop him. She felt endless regret in her heart.

She didn’t regret what she had done to Xiao Mingyan, but she regretted not eliminating the problem from the very beginning.

Xiao Mingyan seemed to have seen through her thoughts. He said in a calm tone, “You want to kill me.”

Liu Ruxue looked embarrassed when he hit the nail on the head. “What are you talking about? Why would I want to kill you? I just want to beg you to spare Wuyou’s life…”

Her voice became softer and softer until it couldn’t be heard anymore. She seemed to be a little guilty. Liu Ruxue looked at Xiao Mingyan as if it was her first time meeting him.

She had always felt that this eldest son of hers was very easy to control. So what if he was outstanding in both looks and strength? In the end, he would still end up as Xiao Wuyou’s stepping stone.

But now, Liu Ruxue felt that something was out of her control. She couldn’t quite understand Xiao Mingyan and even felt a little scared.

“‘ll just give you the supreme dragon bone as repayment for bringing me up and taking care of me. As for Xiao Wuyou…”

“I’ll spare his life, but…”

Liu Ruxue’s heart was in her throat. She heaved a sigh of relief when she heard the last part of Xiao Mingyan’s sentence, but she didn’t see Xiao Mingyan’s meaningful gaze.

One must know that sometimes, living was worse than death.

Xiao Mingyan wasn’t a saint, so he wouldn’t let go of those who hurt him. It was just that death would be too easy on Xiao Wuyou.

“You once said that you would let me see what hell on earth is. I’m returning those words to you now. I hope you can enjoy it.”

An extremely cold male voice suddenly rang in Xiao Wuyou’s ears. Xiao Wuyou jerked his head up and happened to meet Xiao Mingyan’s pitch-black eyes. Xiao Mingyan seemed to be smiling at him.

Xiao Wuyou was like a bird startled by the mere twang of a bow, but he realized that the people around him did not have any reaction. It was obvious that he was the only one who could hear these words, and Xiao Mingyan had specifically said them to him.

“Xiao Mingyan, I don’t want your pity. If you have the ability, just kill me.”

Xiao Wuyou screamed, his eyes bloodshot and his expression crazed.

“Someone, quickly bring the second young master for treatment,” Xiao Hong hurriedly ordered.

Xiao Wuyou was seriously injured, and even if there was a divine doctor, it was unknown if he could preserve his cultivation.

“Mingyan, don’t listen to Wuyou’s nonsense,” he said carefully, “He’s just upset. Don’t take it to heart.”

Xiao Hong’s attitude towards Xiao Mingyan could be said to be respectful. After all, everyone could see that Xiao Mingyan’s cultivation had recovered, and he was even more powerful than before. He was not an existence that they could afford to offend.

Xiao Mingyan didn’t say anything and only stared at him, making Xiao Hong feel uncomfortable all over. He couldn’t help but look away, not bothering to meet his eyes.

“Xiao clan, take care.”

After saying this, Xiao Mingyan turned around and left. The other guests spontaneously made way for him, and countless gazes of awe and surprise watched him leave.

Xiao Hong had a faint premonition in his heart. Although Xiao Mingyan did not go on a killing spree, he had a faint premonition that this matter was not over yet.

After Xiao Mingyan walked away, the other guests also seemed to have woken up from a dream. They originally thought that it would be a simple banquet, but they didn’t expect to witness such a shocking and juicy piece of news.

For the next few months in Jade City, they would probably be discussing matters related to the Xiao clan and Xiao Mingyan.
