Ch143 - Parents' Cause of Death

Edited by Zaki

Lifting his eyes, Jiang Xu looked at the nine people from the Liu family, Jiang Xu picked up the teapot and poured another cup of tea for each of the four people from the Wang family, father, and sons. “Third Uncle, introduce me to these distinguished guests.”

“En.” Standing up, Wang Zhennan immediately introduced the Liu family to Jiang Xu.

“Oh, you are Mufeng’s Dao Companion, Jiang Xu.” Looking at Jiang Xu, Liu Renyi smiled. He tried his best to give a loving look.

“Liu Renyi, what are you doing bringing your Sons, Grandsons, and Granddaughters to Black Dragon City to make a scene?” Looking at Liu Renyi, Jiang Xu questioned discontentedly.

At that, the Father and Sons of the Wang family widened their eyes in shock. They couldn’t help but think: This Jiang Xu actually directly called Mufeng’s Grandfather’s name. Wasn’t this too inappropriate?

“Jiang Xu, you are so courageous, how dare you speak Grandfather’s name directly!? You, you are simply unreasonable.” Staring at Jiang Xu, Liu Shanshan seemed to have found a backer, standing behind her Grandfather Liu Renyi, the vixen accused Jiang Xu.

Looking at Liu Shanshan who was bossing around in front of him. Jiang Xu sneered. “Back then, I taught you a lesson in the secret realm, I thought you would learn from your mistakes, but I didn’t expect you to be so stupid.” As the words fell, Jiang Xu released his suppressed coercion fully. Jiang Xu was no longer a Spiritual Master Realm cultivator at this moment, but a cultivator in the Spiritual King Realm. How could Liu Shanshan who was in the Spiritual Mortal Realm bear this kind of coercion?

“Pfft…” A large mouthful of blood spewed out directly, and Liu Shanshan stumbled and fell to the ground.

“Eighth Sister, Eighth Sister!” crying out anxiously, the Fourth and Sixth hurriedly stepped forward to help the Eighth.

“Jiang Xu, you are going too far.” Standing up from the chair, the Fourth Uncle of the Liu family looked at Jiang Xu unhappily.

“XiaoXu, you misunderstood. Grandpa didn’t make any trouble in Black Dragon City. You must have heard the gossip, so you misunderstood the situation. Mufeng was brought up by me. Grandpa came over from Shuangyang Town on purpose this time to personally pick you and Mufeng up and take you both home. Where is Mufeng? You call him out, and I will tell him personally.”

“Mufeng is in seclusion preparing the pills for the auction, so he doesn’t have time to see you.” Looking at Liu Renyi, Jiang Xu spoke bluntly.

At that, Liu Renyi frowned. “XiaoXu ……”

“Okay, you don’t have to joke with me anymore. Before the age of five, my father-in-law and mother-in-law raised Mufeng. After the age of five, both parents died. From the age of five to the age of thirteen, within that 8 years, you, Liu Renyi, have only met my family’s Mufeng 3 times – once for your 60th birthday, once for the family sacrificial ceremony, and once for Liu Wan’er‘s marriage. To say that you raised Mufeng single-handedly is too ridiculous, isn’t it?” Looking at Liu Renyi, Jiang Xu unceremoniously exposed the other party’s lies.

“Indeed, I sometimes pay too much attention to cultivation and often go into seclusion, and I neglected Mufeng. Therefore, I came here from Shuangyang Town this time to make up to Mufeng and take good care of Mufeng.” Looking at Jiang Xu, Liu Renyi said with a remorseful expression.

“There is no need, Mufeng is alreadyforty-two yearsold this year. He is no longer a five-year-old child, so he doesn’t need Grandpa’s love and care. You also don’t have to swagger around everywhere saying you are Mufeng’s Grandfather. Let’s speak openly. Speak up! What are you doing here in Black Dragon City? Are you here to get your Grandchildren’s spiritual roots washed? Or is it for my family’s Mufeng’s medicinal pills and the treasures at the auction?” Looking at Liu Renyi, Jiang Xu asked directly and plainly.

“I, I…” When asked this so straightforwardly, Liu Renyi’s face twisted.

“Jiang Xu, you should not rely on your high strength to oppress our Liu family members like this, you should not forget that Mufeng is also our Liu family member. As Mufeng’s Dao Companion, you bully your partner’s Grandfather and Uncle like this, do you think Mufeng will let you go?” Looking at Jiang Xu, Eldest Uncle Liu said through gritted teeth.

At this comment, Jiang Xu hummed and laughed. “You are Mufeng’s Eldest Uncle Liu Qun, right?”

So what if I am?” Looking at Jiang Xu, Liu Qun said without fear.

“No, I just want to talk to you about my family’s Mufeng’s affairs. Let my Grandfather and Three Uncles listen carefully to how you treated my family’s Mufeng back then, and how you treated my dead Father-in-Law and Mother-in-Law.” Jiang Xu said as he looked at Liu Qun.

“You, you don’t talk nonsense here. Mufeng was brought up by me from the age of five to eight years old with great pains. I treated him like my own son.”

Jiang Xu sneered, “You sent your own‘son’to a place like Zhangjia Village to farm? The one behind you, named Liu Cheng, is also your son, also a three spiritual root waste, how come you didn’t throw him to Zhang Jia Village to farmah?”

Hearing these words, Wang Yongshan’s face also turned gloomy. “Liu Qun, you dare to throw my Grandson to a place like Zhangjia Village, and you shamelessly say that you treat my Grandson like your own son, do you take my Wang family members as fools?”

“City Lord Wang, don’t listen to Jiang Xu’s nonsense. I didn’t drive away Mufeng, but Mufeng voluntarily went to Zhangjia Village to cultivate.” Shaking his head, Liu Qun hurriedly denied it.

However, how could the Wang family believe his feeble excuse? Obviously, his excuse just fell on deaf ears.

“Liu Qun, don’t be in a hurry to deny it, I haven’t finished my words. It is true that my partner lived in the Liu family for eight years from the age of five to thirteen, but what kind of life did he lead? Every day he was scolded by your group of people for being a waste. Every month, your son, your nephews, and nieces, and other Liu family juniors received 100 spirit stones for cultivation, but my family’s Mufeng only got 10 spirit stones per month. At home, the older generation counted him as useless, and the younger generation scolded him, beat him, bullied him, insulted him, trampled on his dignity again and again, and hurt his young heart. Is this what you call upbringing?” Thinking of those encounters in his partner’s childhood, Jiang Xu’s eyes turned red.

“Young Master Jiang, the Liu family has a relatively large population. Maybe the Uncles in the family really have some things that we couldn’t take care of. But, you can’t write off our Liu family just because of that, right? No matter what, it was our Liu family that raised Mufeng.” Looking at Jiang Xu, the Second Uncle of the Liu family tried his best to put forth their good points.

Jiang Xu couldn’t help but sneer at those words. “Embezzling the ten-thousand-year-old spiritual plants that my Father-in-Law and Mother-in-Law brought back with their lives, and then using the spirit stones from the sale of the spiritual plants to raise my family’s Mufeng; is this also considered as you raising Mufeng? Liu Qun, Liu Zheng, the two of you, do you dare to tell me in detail in front of my Grandfather and Three Uncles, how did my Mother-in-Law and Father-in-Law die when Mufeng was five years old?”

“You, you…” Hearing this, the Eldest Liu Qun’s and the Second Eldest Liu Zheng’s faces both changed drastically.

“XiaoXu?” Looking at his Grandson-in-Law, Wang Yongshan exclaimed in shock, and all Three brothers of the Wang family looked at Jiang Xu with a bewildered expression, seeking an answer from the other side.

“Grandpa, Three Uncles, let me tell you the truth. My Father-in-Law and Mother-in-Law, your Daughter and Sister, the couple didn’t die on the Demon Beast Mountain at all, they died in the Liu family. Back then my family’s Mufeng was found to be five-spiritual roots when tested by the family, and Mother-in-Law and Father-in-Law were anxious. Later, Mother-in-Law’s sister, the Fourth Aunt asked the Fourth Uncle to help with divination, he said that there was a Spiritual Washing plant in a certain dangerous place that could help my Mufeng. At that time, In order to change Mufeng’s aptitude, Father-in-Law and Mother-in-Law went to the dangerous place together. However, their strength was only in the Spiritual Mortal Realm, and that place was full of dangers. They did not find the Spiritual Washing plant, but they did find several ten-thousand-year Spiritual plants. When they returned to the Liu family, they actually weren’t dead but were just injured. They planned to sell the ten-thousand-year spiritual plants in their hands, and then use the spirit stones to hire people from the hunting group to go with them to look for the Spirit Washing plant in the dangerous place. However, Liu Qun and Liu Zheng found out about this. In order to get the ten-thousand-year spiritual plants in the hands of my father-in-law and mother-in-law, they transferred the healing medicinal pills in Shuangyang Town. Because Father-in-Law and Mother-in-Law could not get the healing medicinal pills in time, they both died from the injuries they had sustained.” Thinking about the tragic death of his parents-in-law, Jiang Xu’s eyes were filled with ruthless killing intent.

“What?!” Wang Yongshan became furious as he heard the full story. The Three Brothers of the Wang family also looked at the Two Brothers of the Liu family viciously.

“Jiang Xu, don’t open your mouth and talk nonsense. Nothing like that happened. My Fifth Brother and Fifth Sister-in-Law died in that dangerous place.” Liu Qun hurriedly defended.

“Yes, how could we possibly kill our own Younger Brother and Sister-in-Law? Young Master Jiang, please be careful with your words.”

“Hmph! This is what my family’s Mufeng told me personally. Do you think that Mufeng has wronged you?” With a cold laugh, how could Jiang Xu listen to these two’s sophomoric arguments?

“Young Master Jiang, Mufeng was only a five-year-old child back then. He might have heard wrongly, or he might have seen wrongly. How about this, why don’t you give the Liu family some time? Father, Fourth Brother and I will definitely investigate clearly. If back then, Fifth Brother’s death was really related to Big Brother and Second Brother, then, we will definitely give Mufeng, and the Wang family an explanation, is this okay?” Looking at Jiang Xu, the Third Uncle of the Liu family tried to placate Jiang Xu.

“En, it’s better to investigate this matter.” Nodding, Liu Renyi said with an ugly face.

Looking at the two of them, Jiang Xu gave a cold snort and stood up from his chair. “Liu Mufeng is this Jiang Xu’s man. Even if what he said is wrong, it would still be right in my eyes. He said that these two bastards killed his parents. Then, they are the murderers. What other evidence do I need?” With that, Jiang Xu directly struck two palms toward Liu Qun and Liu Zheng.
