C22 Vengeance Beginning
Under Weird Divine Doctor's astonished gaze, the power that Jiang Xia could only use the zither's sound to emit was definitely something that only a fourth-ranked Great Zither Master could do. He was extremely happy and sorrowful, and Jiang Xia's zither sound came to an abrupt halt. /&
Weird Divine Doctor's expression changed. He saw the teenager who was being tortured by grief lying unconscious on the ground. Weird Divine Doctor sighed helplessly and went up to pick up Wu Tie before turning around to go back.
As Weird Divine Doctor turned around with Jiang Xia, a golden ray of light suddenly rose up from Mengyu's coffin. The light paused in midair for a moment as if it was reluctant to leave her, then flew towards the sky and disappeared.
= = =.
Jiang Xia laid on the bed with lifeless eyes. His face was so pale that it was a little terrifying. There was even some stubble on his chin. Weird Divine Doctor's figure slowly walked in with a bowl of soup in his hands. Jiang Xia didn't even bat an eyelid as he stared at a certain spot.
"Is he dead? "Drink this bowl of medicine if you're not dead." Weird Divine Doctor got angry when he saw that the other person was half-dead.
Jiang Xia turned his head and looked at the other party. He had no intention of getting up.
"Hmph." Weird Divine Doctor frowned. He turned around and walked out of the door. At the same time, he shouted, "Drink the medicine. Mengyu's monument is still waiting for you to carve it."
Jiang Xia's body shook and a trace of coldness flashed across his eyes. He then turned over and directly fell off the bed. He didn't care and crawled towards the table with the medicine on it.
In front of Mengyu's grave, Jiang Xia was holding a monument in his arms, holding a carving knife in his hand. He was carefully carving on it, every cut was done very carefully, every stroke was done very carefully, his pure black eyes were filled with caution.
A few words slowly appeared on the stone monument, 'Darling Mengyu's Tomb' was written with the words' Husband Jiang Xia '. When the last word was carved, a gentle smile appeared on Jiang Xia's face, but at the same time, tears also fell from his eyes.
"Mengyu, my good wife, my good wife. I'll listen to you, I'll live well." Jiang Xia hugged the monument tightly as if he was holding Mengyu.
"Ai!" Weird Divine Doctor, who was not far away, sighed. His old eyes were red as he walked forward and said, "Jiang Xia, what are your plans?"
Jiang Xia's eyes turned cold, "I want to go back to the Capital."
Weird Divine Doctor's expression changed, "You want to kill Lan Guang?"
Jiang Xia didn't say anything else. He just dug a small hole on the side, then he erected the stone monument inside the hole and buried the soil seriously.
"Mengyu, my good wife, hubby will always love you." Jiang Xia pressed his face close to the stone and kissed the stone with his lips. Then, he stood up and walked towards Weird Divine Doctor.
"Grandpa Divine Doctor, thank you for taking care of me these few days, I'll be taking my leave."
Weird Divine Doctor's expression gradually softened. He looked at Jiang Xia as if he was looking at Mengyu, "Are you going back to the capital to kill Lan Guang?"
Jiang Xia's gaze was cold as he said in a deep voice, "It's time for me to go back and collect my debt."
= = =.
Outside the Fairy Doctor Valley, Jiang Xia, who had already packed his stuff, was ready to leave. Weird Divine Doctor looked at the teenager in front of him with a heavy heart. His gray eyes had already disappeared and were replaced with a pair of pure and clear eyes.
Jiang Xia cupped his fists and said solemnly: "Grandpa Divine Doctor, you don't need to send me off. I will let you take care of Mengyu's grave for the time being. I will move her back to White Willow Village in the future."
"En!" Weird Divine Doctor nodded his head slightly, then took out two Jade Slip s from his sleeves, "Jiang Xia, I'm afraid that you will be in extreme danger this time when you go to the Imperial Capital. These two things are the gifts that I received after I saved someone, one of them is called 'Flower Plucking Finger', and the other one is called 'Dragon Seizing Hand', which is a top-tier Heaven Ranked martial skill.
Jiang Xia's facial expression changed slightly as a wave of warmth surged out from his heart, "Thank you, Grandpa Divine Doctor."
After Weird Divine Doctor placed the Jade Slip in Jiang Xia's hands, he took out a small white jade bottle, "This is the Poison Spirit Pill I concocted. Not only can it cure all the poisons, it can also heal serious injuries within a short period of time.
"Putong." Jiang Xia knelt on the ground and said sincerely, "Grandpa Divine Doctor, I will never forget your kindness for the rest of my life."
"Hurry and get up." Weird Divine Doctor helped Jiang Xia up with his trembling arms and said gently, "Child, grandpa is a bit weird. Weird Divine Doctor helped Jiang Xia up with his trembling arms and said gently," Child, grandpa is a bit strange.
Jiang Xia's eyes reddened as he nodded forcefully, "Grandpa, farewell."
A lonely figure walked out of the Valley of the Immortal Doctor. The beautiful scenery could be seen clearly in Jiang Xia's eyes. A tinge of sadness appeared in his clear eyes as he murmured softly, "Mengyu, I'm leaving." In other words, Mengyu was always by his side, and Jiang Xia used her eyes to see the world.
= = =.
The middle-aged man at the counter furrowed his brows, shifting his gaze to the third floor from time to time. Jiang Xia hadn't been here for nearly three months, and Lan Meng hadn't been there to admire any other zither masters either.
"I wonder what Princess Lan Meng is thinking?" The Imperial Family has so many great zither masters, but they just happen to like coming here. " The middle-aged man secretly tried to guess the thoughts of the cold beauty.
"Big brother Ye Xuan." A familiar voice came from the door as the middle-aged man's eyes lit up. He immediately raised his head and a pair of pure eyes entered his eyes.
The middle-aged man was shocked, "S-Jiang Xia? You, your eyes? "
Jiang Xia smiled and said calmly, "Is Miss Lan Meng upstairs?"
"Yes, yes, I'll bring you up now."
"No need, Brother Ye Xuan. I'll go up myself." Jiang Xia nodded. He usually went up himself.
The middle-aged man looked at Jiang Xia's back with a stiff expression and sighed softly. He used to be scared by Jiang Xia's gray eyes, but after he adapted, he was scared by Jiang Xia's normal eyes.
In the quiet room on the third floor, there was an icy figure sitting behind the curtain. Lan Meng came to the room almost every day at the same time and at the same place every day. Whether she played the piano or not, she would sit there for a while without anyone knowing the reason.
"Ta, ta, ta!"
Clear footsteps could be heard on the stairs. Lan Meng shuddered. "You're here?"
"He's coming." Jiang Xia answered plainly.
"He hasn't come for three months, why did he come this time?"
"For money."
"Oh?" Lan Meng was slightly surprised and asked softly, "Where did you go for three months?"
"I don't need to report this to you, do I?"
Lan Meng raised her phoenix-like eyes, and saw Jiang Xia's emaciated figure through the curtain, "No need, let's begin!"
Jiang Xia nodded and sat down cross-legged. He placed his hands on the White Jade Five-String Lyre. Lan Meng's beautiful eyes were startled. She immediately felt that the figure playing the zither was so lonely and lonely.
The listless middle-aged man at the counter on the first floor, Ye Xuan, was greatly shaken. He looked at the third floor with disbelief and muttered, "This … This is not a song that a third rank pianist can play?"
Affected by Jiang Xia's zither music, Lan Meng's cold and beautiful face turned soft and her eyes faintly shined with luster.
After a moment, the song was finished. Jiang Xia stood up slowly and said calmly, "Miss Lan Meng, are you satisfied?"
"Not bad." Lan Meng's voice sounded a little weird. She coughed lightly and asked, "How much money do you need?"
"A lot." Jiang Xia's tone was still calm. Because of Mengyu's death, his heart became immersed in it.
"Is ten thousand gold coins enough?" If it's not enough, I'll give it to you tomorrow. "
"Enough."
"Swoosh!" A ring came from behind the curtain, Jiang Xia received it with his hand and Storage Ring with red gems laid in his palm.
"Thank you. I will return 10,000 gold coins to you." Wu Tie cupped his fist and bowed towards Lan Meng. He went downstairs and greeted Ye Xuan before heading in a certain direction. In that direction, there was the most bustling restaurant in the imperial city, the "World Delicious".
Jiang Xia sat quietly in a seat in the lobby of the restaurant. The boss didn't suspect that this rich young man, who could easily earn hundreds of gold coins, was the blind man who was beaten up here three months ago. He happily filled a table with food for Jiang Xia. However, Jiang Xia didn't even move his chopsticks as he kept his attention on the door.
He was waiting, waiting for that beast who bullied Mengyu to appear. The moment he appeared, Jiang Xia would immediately take his life, not giving his protector any time to react.
The whole night passed and Lan Guang's figure did not appear. The food and wine on the table had long turned cold, but they could not compare to Jiang Xia's ice-cold heart.
"Young master, our shop is almost closed. What do you think?" It was almost midnight. The boss came to greet them with a fawning smile. Five or six burly men also came out of the inner hall and went back one by one.
A cold light flashed in Jiang Xia's eyes as he smiled and said: "Ok, I will come back tomorrow."
The owner hurriedly smiled apologetically at the same time, "Hehe, take care, young master. I will prepare more wine and dishes for you to apologize to you tomorrow."
Jiang Xia's brows twitched, but he did not say anything else. He followed the few men and left the hall.
In the dead of night, there were still many brightly lit places within the imperial city. The "World's Delicious" few burly men were walking while laughing and scolding.
"Hehe, are we going to have some fun today?" Last night, that little girl's skin was so nice that I could have died. "
"Go go, go! If that's the extent of your potential, then let's just go to the gambling den!" I'm going to make a comeback. "
"Look at the two of you. I think we should find someone to provoke and beat them up, or to tease Old Zhang's daughter. Hehe."
"Good idea, good idea."
As everyone was discussing, a thick killing intent emanated from the skinny figure behind Yue Shan.
"Swish!"
A golden ray of light flashed past, and the sharp sound of flesh slicing through stimulated the eardrums of everyone. The man who was walking at the back suddenly stopped where he was, unable to move.
Everyone was shocked as they turned around doubtfully, "Fifth brother, what happened to you?"
The man called Fifth Brother opened his mouth slightly and had a stiff smile on his face. There was no sign of life in his eyes, and what was even more shocking was that a red line slowly appeared on the man's neck. One of them could not help but step forward and touch Ol 'Five.
"Bam!" With a sound, the man's head fell off his neck, and fresh blood sprayed all over their faces.
Everyone looked at each other and saw the fear in each other's eyes. They looked around in panic and asked, "Who, who, who is it?"
"Hehe, do you guys have a chance to be scared as well?" Jiang Xia's skinny figure appeared in front of them with a cold tone and evil laughter.
"Young, Young Master, you, we didn't offend you did we?" Someone recognized the youth in front of them as the one who had acted generously in the restaurant.
"Is that so?" Jiang Xia sneered with interest, "Three months ago, you guys beat me up!"
Everyone's expression changed. Looking carefully, they realized that Jiang Xia looked so familiar, "Y-You're that blind?"
"Heh heh." Jiang Xia's expression turned cold. He rushed towards the shocked people with a dagger in his hand.
"Smelly brat, I will kill you!"
The few of them were scared and immediately got angry as they prepared to face Jiang Xia one by one.
"Ah!" A heart-wrenching scream rang out, and a hand reached out to grab Jiang Xia's neck, directly cutting off all ten fingers. "Lightning Blade!" Jiang Xia shouted in his heart, while a sharp white light shot towards the severed finger man's head.
"Bam!" Half of the man's head was cut off and blood splattered everywhere. The red and white liquid splattered in the air. The others' eyes were all about to crack apart. They were all scared out of their wits and no longer dared to move forward.
"Please spare us, young master!" Young Master please spare our lives, it was young master Lan Guang who forced us to do that. " The few of them cowered and retreated.
Jiang Xia looked up with a devilish smile on his face, "Hehe, tell me, where is Lan Guang?"
"He, he's in Spirit Martial Academy!"
"Spirit Martial Academy?" The coldness in Jiang Xia's eyes became even stronger, "Then when was the last time he went to the mortal world for a delicacy?"
"Yesterday, yesterday." Everyone was terrified as they began to plead for mercy, "Young master, we've already said it, please let us go!"
"What do you think?"
On a quiet night in the imperial city, a merciless massacre was taking place somewhere. However, this was only the beginning.
