Chapter 81 – My Son is the Main Villain (part 1)
Li Su sat up with a blank face. She rested her cheek in one hand. Damn. The system had heard her buried heart's desire and finally sent her to a martial heroes' world1. The original owner was a weak woman who could not do martial arts.
This motherfucking system! Why was it so bad?!
With a creak, the door opened.
Li Su instantly recovered the weak and boneless posture of the original owner. She leaned on the soft pillow, appearing fragile, and coughed lightly.
"Mother, are you better yet?" A beautiful young man with dashing eyebrows and star-like eyes came in with a bowl of porridge and some side dishes.
"Lang'er! Mother is okay. Has your father come back yet?" Li Su looked at her handsome son, Yuan Lang, with a huge smile.
It was good to be handsome. Just looking at a handsome person could make you happy. Even if he turned into the biggest villain, he would still be popular among thousands of girls. How many women would be willing to shed blood for him? With the help of these women, the male lead was not able to find out the boss who was plotting against him early on. Apart from the female lead, Yuan Lang valued his mother the most. In the final confrontation with the male lead, the male lead took out the ashes of Yuan Lang's mother and spilled them into the river. Yuan Lang was distracted and was finally beaten by the male lead. His martial arts were crippled and he was imprisoned. In the end, with a beautiful woman's assistance, he managed to recover.
"I don't know. Dad should be back soon. Isn't it fine for your son to be by your side? Why are you looking for dad?" Yuan Lang said with a smile. He then fed Li Su porridge.
Li Su smiled and Yuan Lang watched her.
The original owner, Li Su, was born in a small town in Jiang Nan. Jiang Nan had misty rains, green mountains, and clear waters. That beauty matched hers. When she was 13, the local tyrant fancied her and she was taken by force on the street. In order to protect their daughter, Li Su's parents died at the hands of the local tyrant. At the critical moment, a knight came forward and rescued Li Su. That person was Yuan Lang's biological father, Yuan Wei Xiu.
The plot that followed was very cliché. Yuan Wei Xiu was shocked by Li Su's beauty and fell in love at first sight. Li Su had a weak personality that depended on other people to live.2 As both her parents were dead, she was helpless. Even though she was still young and ignorant in the matters of love, she still married Yuan Wei Xiu.
Yuan Wei Xiu was a person who roamed the martial arts world and had no permanent home. Li Su was a fragile woman who longed for a stable life. As she now followed Yuan Wei Xiu in his ever-moving life and lack of a permanent home, she naturally felt some resentment.
Later, Yuan Wei Xiu was invited to instruct others on how to circle and suppress the Demon Sect. He asked his close friend, Yuan Qing You, to look after Li Su, and left him some money. After saying a few words to Li Su, he left without hesitation.
After Yuan Wei Xiu left, Li Su found out that she was pregnant. She was originally a weak person who had to depend on others. So, now that she had nobody to rely on, she worried all day long. Fortunately, with Yuan Qing You's company, she was able to live in peace.
Li Su then gave birth to a boy. After she waited for another 6 months, Yuan Wei Xiu did not return. During this period of time, Yuan Qing You took good care of her. Unconsciously, Li Su slowly started to fall for Yuan Qing You.
When Yuan Lang was 8 months old, another friend of Yuan Wei Xiu came by to tell them that Yuan Wei Xiu had fallen off a cliff and gotten injured after participating in suppressing the Demon Sect. They searched for Yuan Wei Xiu for a long time, but never found him. Later, someone found the remains of Yuan Wei Xiu's clothes under a cliff and determined that Yuan Wei Xiu was no longer around.
Li Su panicked suddenly. She was holding the baby and didn't know what to do.
At this time, Yuan Qing You made a move and confessed to her. He actually liked Li Su for a long time, but Yuan Wei Xiu was there. Now that Yuan Wei Xiu was gone, he wouldn't let this go so easily.
Later, Li Su took her son with her to marry Yuan Qing You.
In the past 10 years, Yuan Qing You was very good to Li Su and her son, especially to Li Su. He would do things like hold her hand for fear of her falling, and didn't want Li Su to give birth again for fear of her being hurt. He loved Yuan Lang like he was his own son. For many years, Yuan Lang didn't even know his own life history.
But, soon enough, the good days came to an end.
It turned out that Yuan Wei Xiu was targeted that day when he fell from the cliff. Someone had taken advantage of the moment and had pushed him off that cliff. After he fell off the cliff, he hadn't died. Since he knew that someone wanted to kill him, then they wouldn't stop until they saw him dead. Therefore, Yuan Wei Xiu forced himself into hiding.
After that, Yuan Wei Xiu kept hiding under the cliff to recover from his injuries. He did not come out of the area until he had recovered. On one hand, he wanted to track down who plotted against him, but on the other hand, he wanted to find Li Su.
During his recovery period, Yuan Wei Xiu met the male lead, Ou Yang Yi. After Ou Yang Yi's adoptive father died, Yuan Wei Xiu took Ou Yang Yi as his disciple. The two of them travelled together. Finally, they discovered the truth of that matter. Yuan Qing You had coveted Li Su, so he plotted against Yuan Wei Xiu and finally married Li Su after the death of Yuan Wei Xiu.
Yuan Wei Xiu and Ou Yang Yi joined forces to kill Yuan Qing You. Li Su was unable to face this reality, so she gave up and committed suicide.
Yuan Lang's world collapsed overnight. It turned out that the father who had loved him was not his own father, but his father's murderer. What made this matter unacceptable was the death of his mother. He thought that Yuan Wei Xiu and Ou Yang Yi forced his mother to her death. Not only did he fail to recognise Yuan Wei Xiu, he had also blackened.
Yuan Wei Xiu didn't know how to treat Yuan Lang either. In his opinion, Yuan Lang's character was not as good as Ou Yang Yi's, despite his excellent qualifications. He was arrogant. Instead of bringing Yuan Lang to his side, he sent him to Kun Lun Mountain to learn a craft or trade. He took Ou Yang Yi and taught him carefully. During this period. Ou Yang Yi met the daughter of Shen Shui Palace, Shui Yi Yi. As they got to know each other, they gradually walked together.
Ten years later, the Demon Sect returned. Yuan Wei Xiu gathered martial artists from all over the world to fight against the Demon Sect. Ou Yang Yi and Yuan Lang were among them. During this period, many martial artists died. Finally, Yuan Wei Xiu also died tragically.
With the help of Shui Yi Yi and the Shen Shui Palace, Ou Yang Yi investigated this matter and discovered that Yuan Lang was behind it all. Yuan Lang had joined the Demon Sect and had accomplished a lot. Even Yuan Wei Xiu was killed by him.
After that, Ou Yang Yi and Yuan Lang fought a battle of wits. As Yuan Lang had great demon arts, Ou Yang Yi was not Yuan Lang's opponent. In the end, Shui Yi Yi ordered people to dig out Li Su's ashes and scatter them in the river in front Yuan Lang. Yuan Lang had been distracted by this and was finally hit by Ou Yang Yi.
Ou Yang Yi did not kill Yuan Lang. Instead, he abolished Yuan Lang's martial arts and imprisoned him in Xi Hu dungeon. Yuan Lang was the only blood-relative of his late master, so Ou Yang Yi hoped that Yuan Lang could repent and rehabilitate.
With the help of Shui Yi Yi, Ou Yang Yi became the new martial arts leader. He was to marry his wife and was about to reach the pinnacle of life!
The story did not end there. Yuan Lang had a good relationship with women. He was rescued by his former confidante, A-Qing. On the day of Ou Yang Yi and Shui Yi Yi's wedding, Yuan Lang, with A-Qing's help, drugged the drinks causing the guests to lose consciousness. He then took away Ou Yang Yi and Shui Yi Yi.
In the end, Yuan Lang killed Shui Yi Yi in front of Ou Yang Yi and scattered her ashes, avenging his mother's insult. After Yuan Lang finished doing this, he proudly said to Ou Yang Yi, "You have ruined everything for me, so now I have ruined everything for you. In the end, it is I who wins!" After laughing loudly, Yuan Lang jumped into the abyss and A-Qing followed him.
Li Su thought of this and sighed. It was really not Yuan Lang's fault he ended up like that. He had unreliable parents. His father, Yuan Wei Xiu, didn't say anything. After those things happened, he didn't bother with his son and instead passed Yuan Lang off for others to raise. How could one accept this kind of change.
His mother, Li Su, was also somewhat selfish. She was unable to face the facts. She died and never thought about what her son would do after her death.
As for his adoptive father… Although he initiated all the tragedies, he had been good to Li Su and Yuan Lang. Anyone else could blame Yuan Qing You, but Li Su and Yuan Lang could not.
Presumably, Yuan Lang thought so, so he never changed his name. He insisted on using Yuan Lang as his name. Perhaps he considered Yuan Qing You to be his biological father.
"Mother, what are you thinking about? Are you thinking about dad again? Dad should be back in the next few days," Yuan Lang said with a smile. "By the way, mother, dad taught me swordsmanship. I've learned some and I can show you!"
Li Su smiled and touched Yuan Lang's head. "Lang'er is awesome!"
Yuan Lang smiled brightly.
Li Su sighed inwardly. Yuan Lang seemed to have a serious mother-complex. Yuan Long was handsome, romantic, and passionate. He had women who were devoted to him spanning across the lands. However, these women had one characteristic in common and that was that they looked similar to Li Su. Shui Yi Yi had discovered this weakness of Yuan Lang's before she defeated him.
It seemed she couldn't stop Yuan Qing You's death. But, she had to stop Yuan Lang from blackening. If she didn't handle this properly, then she was afraid that Yuan Lang's mother-complex would become more serious.
However, maybe she was thinking too much. Yuan Lang's adoptive father was killed by his biological father and his beloved mother died. His biological father was unreliable and he was later forced to join the Kun Lun School. While the masters taught him martial arts, nobody cared about his psychological growth. As a result, his mental state became increasingly distorted and had no way to process his emotions. He could only find the shadow of his mother in other women. Finally, he embarked on a road of no return.
Now that she was here, she would pay attention to Yuan Lang's mental health.
While she was thinking, the courtyard door opened. They looked over to see Yuan Qing You clutching his chest, bleeding as he stumbled in.
"Su Su, Lang'er!"
"Mother, it's dad's voice. What happened?" Yuan Lang was a little panicked. He turned to look at Li Su. When he saw Li Su lift the quilt to get out of bed, Yuan Lang hurriedly reached out to support Li Su.
They met Yuan Qing You at the door.
"Qing You, what's wrong?" Li Su saw Yuan Qing You and supported him, panicked.
Yuan Qing You fell into Li Su's arms. "Su Su, Su Su, I don't regret it. I love you. And I don't regret Lang'er!"
"You are really shameless! Your friend's wife must not be deceived! You are so shameless to treat my master like this! Madam, don't believe him. He killed my master!" A clear voice from a young man called out. A middle-aged man and a young man appeared at the door.

Chapter 82 – My Son is the Main Villain (part 2)
Li Su looked at the middle-aged man in surprise, but inwardly rolled her eyes. He looked pretty good, but he didn't know how to maintain it. He looked a few dozen years older than Yuan Qing You. She didn't understand the customs of these times and was not considerate or gentle. This had nothing to do with her, but if it was her, she would choose Yuan Qing You.
"You are?"
"Su Su, I'm Wei Xiu." Yuan Wei Xiu looked at this beautiful and refined woman almost madly. Even after ten years, she was still so beautiful. The years had been good to her. Even if she had betrayed him, he couldn't help but be moved when he saw her.
"Wei Xiu? You, you, you are still alive?" Li Su trembled with excitement. She looked back at Yuan Qing You and Yuan Wei Xiu. "What is going on?"
"It's very simple. Yuan Qing You coveted you. In order to get you, he colluded with others to secretly kill master. Fortunately, master escaped. Master spent a lot of effort to discover the truth and found this out earlier this year. Madam, you were deceived by Yuan Qing You!" Ou Yang Yi said indignantly.
Li Su and Yuan Lang stared in disbelief, especially Yuan Lang. He couldn't believe this scene. His hands, which were holding Yuan Qing You, were shaking.
Li Su noticed that Yuan Lang was trembling, so she tightly held his hand. Then, she looked at Yuan Qing You. "Qing You, is what he said true?"
Yuan Qing You's eyes never left Li Su. "Su Su, it's true, but I don't regret it. I've been with you for ten years so I can die content."
Li Su couldn't help but curse, 'fuck your mother'. Why were all the men she met so selfish? Even if he didn't regret it, what about Wen Su and her son?
She lowered her head. Tears fell and deeply hurt the hearts of all the men present.
Yuan Lang ignored his sadness and hurriedly wiped his mother's tears. "Mother, don't be sad. You still have me." When such a thing happened, the saddest person here was his mother. How could he forget about her and only care about his own feelings? How did his mother feel?!
Yuan Qing You saw Li Su cry and was heartbroken. "Su Su, don't hate me. You…"
"I don't hate you. I know how you treated Lang'er and I all these years. Back then, if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have been able to survive as a weak and pregnant woman. What's more, you also treated Lang'er as your own for so many years. Qing You, I don't blame or hate you," Li Su said slowly.
Yuan Qing You's eyes exuded a dazzling light. He sat up and held Li Su's hands tightly. "Su Su, is what you said true? You really don't blame me? Then, can I think that you like me, even a little bit?"
Li Su slowly nodded. "Yes, I like you." She could see that the man in front of her was already rejuvenated, and she didn't mind making him happier.
Yuan Qing You's eyes were full of tears. "That's great, Su Su. That's great." Then, he slowly hugged Li Su and whispered in her ear, "After I die, take care of yourself and Lang'er. All of my belongings will be left to Lang'er. He knows where they are."
When Yuan Lang heard these words, he couldn't cry out, "Dad!" Although this man was not his biological father and had harmed his actual biological father with such terrible methods, this man's love for him was not fake. Yuan Lang felt that he had no right to blame Yuan Qing You.
Yuan Wei Xiu had a hurt expression, while Ou Yang Yi's expression was of disbelief. He said, angrily, "What's the matter with you? He is obviously the bad guy. Back then, he planned to separate master from your family. Now that you know that one is your husband and the other is a thief, how can you still act like this? Don't you have a conscience?"
Yuan Lang was still young, so he felt a little ashamed at Ou Yang Yi's words.
Li Su wiped her tears and looked up at Yuan Wei Xiu. "Do you think so too?"
Yuan Wei Xiu did not speak. He looked away, apparently thinking so in his heart.
Li Su clasped Yuan Qing You's hand tightly. "Yuan Wei Xiu, did you know? I am just an ordinary woman. What I want has always been simple. My husband doesn't need to have good martial arts. I don't need him to have any kind of status. I just hope that my husband will be able to stay with me and prevent me from suffering, from being shocked, or from being displaced, or feeling helpless. I just wish my husband to keep me company and make me happy for the rest of my life. Do you understand?"
What Li Su said shocked Yuan Wei Xiu and he looked at Li Su, bewildered.
Yuan Qing You smiled happily. His love did not disappoint him after all. "Su Su!"
Li Su endured her nausea. After she spoke the words that her original character would have said, she moved on to the next part of her acting! She wiped away her tears. "Yuan Wei Xiu, you left me for some so-called justice when I was pregnant back then. Did you ever think about how I was a weak, pregnant woman? I waited for half a year. After finally learning of your death, I got together with Qing You. I won't apologise to you. As for Lang'er, I didn't tell him about his life history. He is innocent. Since he was a child, the person who had accompanied him has always been Qing You. His first sentence was taught by Qing You. His first steps were supported by Qing You. The grace of nurturing is as great as the sky. Don't blame Lang'er. As for Qing You, he was sorry for you back then. Now, he can spend his life to pay you back. He shouldn't owe you anymore after. Since that is it, we can move past that."
Yuan Wei Xiu was shocked. All of this was different from what he had thought! How could Su Su do this? This shouldn't be happening!
Ou Yang Yi's eyes widened. "What do you mean?"
"It means that I will only be Madam Yuan1 in my life and death," Li Su said affectionately as she looked down at Yuan Qing You.
Yuan Qing You looked relieved. "Su Su, I can die content after hearing you say that." After speaking, he tilted his head and fell into Li Su's arms. He stopped breathing.
Yuan Lang ran over to Yuan Qing You. "Father! Father!"
Li Su also wept sadly.
Ou Yang Yi drew his sword. "Do you think that dying will end all of your problems? You ruined my master's wife and family. He had to leave and live alone for so many years. How could you ever understand in death?"
Ou Yang Yi didn't let Yuan Qing You go, even in death. Li Su stood in front of Yuan Qing You's body, shielding him.
Yuan Wei Xiu saw her behaving like this. His heart felt shame, seeing them protect each other like this. Presumably, Yuan Qing You had been good to her and her son over the years. Perhaps he should not be alive, or he shouldn't have come back. Yuan Wei Xiu stopped him. "Yi'er, stop. Let's go."
Ou Yang Yi's eyes widened. "Master, are we just leaving like this?"
Yuan Wei Xiu finally glanced at Li Su. "Since you have your own ideas, I will respect your decision." After speaking, he left without looking back.
Ou Yang Yi looked angrily at Li Su before following his master.
Li Su sneered. Sure enough, he was still so irresponsible. He never thought that if he left like this, then wouldn't his widow and son be bullied? Forget it. Let him leave. There was still a lot to do. Yuan Qing You had to be buried, she had to make funeral arrangements, and she needed to figure out what to do next. She had no time to be sad.
Just when Li Su was about to stand up, everything turned black and she felt like she was about to collapse.
When Yuan Lang saw this, he hurried over to support her. "Mother, what's wrong?"
Li Su never thought that this body was so delicate that she would end up fainting with such little excitement.
When she woke up, she found herself in a strange place. Yuan Lang was lying next to the bed.
She wanted to dress, but she accidentally woke Yuan Lang up. "Mother, are you awake? How do you feel? Do you feel uncomfortable?"
Li Su shook her head. "I'm fine. Where are we?"
Yuan Lang shook his head. "I don't know. After you fainted, some people suddenly appeared and brought us here. They took dad's body away and found a doctor to see mother…"
Li Su was confused. Who would take Yuan Qing You's body away? Was it Yuan Qing You's family or friends? When the original owner and Yuan Qing You were together, they didn't see any of Yuan Qing You's family. They also rarely saw his friends. So, who was it?
"Are you awake?" A low voice called out. The door was pushed open and a middle-aged woman came in, surrounded by several others.
"Who are you?" Li Su asked. Yuan Lang stood behind her.
The woman didn't speak. A young girl next to her looked at Li Su. "You must be Li Su. You are very good looking. No wonder my uncle willingly died for you."
"Uncle? Are you Qing You's relatives?" Li Su asked.
"Qing You is my younger brother. Because he was young and weak, he was fostered at my uncle's house since he was young. His uncle's surname is Yuan," said the middle-aged woman. "I am Qiao Ying, the leader of the Guang Ming Divine Sect. This is my daughter, Jiang Qiao. I also have a son named Jiang Rong, who is teaching now. He will see you later when he comes back!"
Li Su was a little surprised. Guang Ming Divine Sect, was it…
"It's the demon sect of the so-called martial arts path," Jiang Qiao said sarcastically.
"Demon Sect?" Li Su understood. No wonder Yuan Qing You could frame Yuan Wei Xiu so easily. He was the younger brother of the leader of the Demon Sect.
Qiao Ying glared at her daughter, then said, "Qing You has worked hard for you. I didn't agree to him being with you, so he refused to contact me for the past ten years. If it wasn't for Yuan Wei Xiu reappearing, he would not have contacted me. For your sake, he contacted me to ask me to protect you and your son. Unfortunately, we were a little too late. At least you still have a conscience and haven't disappointed Qing You."
Li Su suddenly understood a lot of things. No wonder Yuan Lang, who didn't have all the adventures Ou Yang Yi had, managed to have his martial arts improve by leaps and bounds. He was still able to kill so many martial artists. It turned out that he had this relationship with the Demon Sect.
"Qing You entrusted you and your son to me. You can live here in peace in the future," said Qiao Ying. After speaking, Qiao Ying stood up and left.
Jiang Qiao glared at Li Su. She was so beautiful! My uncle refused to come back because of this vixen. Now, my uncle had lost his life for her. How hateful! She won't let her be well-off.
Li Su was aware of Jiang Qiao's hatred, but she didn't take it to heart. She remembered that there was a demon saint among the many women who admired Yuan Lang. Although she was many years older than Yuan Lang, she loved him like crazy. She was her mother-in-law. It was too late to ingratiate herself with her.
However, now she had to consider if she would stay here.

Chapter 83 – My Son is the Main Villain (part 3)
There was nobody else in the room. Li Su sighed and turned to look at Yuan Lang. Yuan Lang looked at a loss, causing Li Su to feel distressed. "Lang'er, what do you think?"
Yuan Lang blankly looked at Li Su. "Mother, what are you talking about?"
"Sorry, I said that to make your father feel at ease. Mother forgot to ask for your opinion. Do you want to stay here or find your father? No matter what you choose, your mother will respect your decision," said Li Su as she touched Yuan Lang.
Yuan Lang's eyes gradually cleared. "Mother, dad is my only father. In the past ten years, he treated me like I was his own. If you didn't tell me, then I wouldn't have known that he wasn't my father. Mother, he is the one who looked after me and got medicine for me when I was injured. Mother, I only have one dad and that is Yuan Qing You. What does Yuan Wei Xiu have to do with us? If he really cared about us, then how could he abandon you when you were pregnant back then to go off and do something dangerous?!"
Li Su nodded with satisfaction. "Lang'er, I am very pleased that you think so. I agree. Yuan Wei Xiu doesn't have us in his heart. He has too many other things in his heart. We were only a very small part of it. Your mother is just a small woman who hoped to have a stable life. Alas!"
Li Su sighed. "Never mind. Did you want to stay here?"
Yuan Lang hesitated. "Mother, I don't want to stay here. I want to go home."
Li Su also didn't want to be here, but they were a widow and an orphan. She was said to be quite beautiful…
"Go back home? Your mother looks like someone who brings trouble. You want to live back there? Can you live in peace?" Jiang Qiao said angrily. "Hmph, if it wasn't for those people taking care of you in secret for so many years, did you think your life could have been so stable?"
Li Su lowered her head and didn't speak. She was secretly refreshed. She hadn't really appreciated her face since she started travelling. She must take the time to appreciate what a beauty who could bring disasters looked like.
Upon seeing this, Yuan Lang supported her. "Mother, don't listen to her nonsense."
"Am I talking nonsense? You know it deep down. Also, you shouldn't address me as 'her'. I am your cousin, so you have to call me cousin." Jiang Qiao looked at Yuan Lang's handsome face and her heart moved slightly. He was so good-looking, even better than her uncle and eldest brother. When he grew up, he would be a beautiful man.
"Although my words aren't polite, what I said was the truth. Please think about it!" Jiang Qiao glanced at Yuan Lang before she left.
Li Su looked up at Yuan Lang. "If you really want to go home, then we can. It's fine. Mother can ruin this appearance." Although it was a pity. She had become a woman so beautiful that she invited disasters, but if her beauty only brought her misfortune, then she would rather not look like this.
"You shouldn't!" Yuan Lang objected without even thinking about it. "Mother, think about it. We can stay here. I will practice the martial arts secrets that father left me. When my martial arts is good, then we can choose where to settle down. Mother, you previously said that you like the scenery south of the river. So, should we go settle in Gu Su?"
Li Su hesitated. "But this is the Demon Sect. Aren't you afraid?"
"So what? In the past few years, I had never heard of the Guang Ming Divine Sect doing anything that harmed the world or distorted the truth. And those martial arts practitioners… How many of them died without justice?" Although Yuan Qing You did not mention that he was a part of the Guang Ming Divine Sect, he had naturally influenced Yuan Lang a lot.
Li Su thought about it carefully. They didn't have any better options compared to staying here for the moment. They could only stay here temporarily and take it a step at a time.
Elsewhere, Yuan Wei Xiu took Ou Yang Yi away to get drunk. The tavern lady was an old friend of Yuan Wei Xiu. After she listened to Ou Yang Yi, she was very disdainful. "Yuan Wei Xiu, after so many years, you are still so selfish. You only care about yourself and disregard everyone else."
Yuan Wei Xiu and Ou Yang Yi were very puzzled, especially Ou Yang Yi. He immediately retorted, "This incident was obviously because of the shameless Yuan Qing You. Why is my master the one who is selfish? Tell me clearly."
The tavern owner looked at Ou Yang Yi with disdain. "You are just a child. What do you know?!" Then, she looked at Yuan Wei Xiu. "Yuan Wei Xiu, now I am thankful that you didn't choose me before, otherwise… Hehe."
"What do you mean?" Yuan Wei Xiu asked with a hoarse voice.
"Let's not even talk about the rest. Ten years ago, you left your pregnant wife to go and suppress the Demon Sect. Is it true that without you, Yuan Wei Xiu, the Demon Sect could not be destroyed? Of course this was a trap by Yuan Qing You, but if you didn't leave, then these things might not have happened. Yes, you, Yuan Wei Xiu, are a hero who saves the common people. But, you couldn't even take care of your wife and child. What good is saving the common people!" the tavern owner snapped.
"But isn't it my job to slay demons and defend the lands?" Yuan Wei Xiu frowned.
"Have you ever considered your wife and child? If you died while slaying demons or defending the lands, then what would they do?" the boss lady asked.
"Didn't I arrange for someone to look after them?" Yuan Wei Xiu asked.
"Yeah, you arranged for Yuan Qing You. Didn't Yuan Qing You take good care of your wife and child? Then, why are you angry?" the boss asked disdainfully.
Yuan Wei Xiu was speechless.
"But, but, Yuan Qing You colluded with the Demon Sect and framed my master. Otherwise, master is very good," said Ou Yang Yi.
"Regardless of the reason, you disappeared. They thought you were dead. Your wife is a weak woman with no fighting abilities and she did not have the protection of her husband. What was wrong with her taking her child with her to marry someone else? When you chose to leave your wife and child in order to suppress the Demon Sect, it was you who was wrong. Now, you have killed Yuan Qing You. Have you ever thought about what it is like for your wife and son? After you killed Yuan Qing You and left them, have you ever wondered how a widow and an orphan would live? You haven't thought about any of this. You've just taken care of yourself and left," the boss lady said disdainfully.
Yuan Wei Xiu's expression darkened. He then put down the wine and walked away.
Ou Yang Yi glared at the tavern owner, then hurriedly chased after his master.
The boss lady clicked her tongue, then ordered someone to clean up the mess.
Yuan Wei Xiu and Ou Yang Yi rode their horses to the Yuan family. Ou Yang Yi was puzzled. "Master, do you really want to take care of them? Why do you care? They don't recognise you anymore!"
Yuan Wei Xiu said, in a deep voice, "She was right. I was too selfish. Although Su refuses to recognise me, I left them first. Now they are gone. I was too selfish."
Ou Yang Yi disagreed vehemently, but his master was determined, so he didn't say anything.
Yuan Wei Xiu and Ou Yang Yi made their way to the Yuan family, but the house was already empty. Yuan Wei Xiu didn't believe this, and looked around, but nobody was there.
Thousands of possibilities flashed through Yuan Wei Xiu's mind. He was frightened, and rushed to find a neighbour to ask. The neighbour was very scared. "After you left, a group of people came and took away Madam Yuan and her son."
"Where did they go?" Wei Yuan Xiu asked.
The neighbour shook his head, frightened. "I don't know!"
Yuan Wei Xiu saw that the neighbour couldn't answer anymore, so he let go of his hand. He was anxious, but didn't know what to do.
At this time, Ou Yang Yi shouted, "Master, come and take a look at this!"
Yuan Wei Xiu looked over. Ou Yang Yi was holding a rag in his hand. Yuan Wei Xiu saw something that looked like a half-flame. "The Demon Sect?! Did people from the Demon Sect take them away?"
"What should we do, Master? Why did the Demon Cult take them away? Did they want to threaten you?" Ou Yang Yi asked in surprise.
Yuan Wei Xiu frowned. "It looks like we have to go to Ling Yun Peak."
Ou Yang Yi's eyes lit up. He liked this kind of adventure the most.
Two days later at night, Yuan Wei Xiu and Ou Yang Yi wore night clothes and snuck into Ling Yun Peak. They carefully avoided the guards, almost being spotted a few times.
When they saw that dawn was arriving, they had still not found Wen Su or Yuan Lang. Yuan Wei Xiu was afraid of being discovered, so they left quickly.
In the next few days, Yuan Wei Xiu kept spying on Ling Yun Peak, which finally alerted the people of the Guang Ming Divine Sect.
Jiang Qiao frowned when she received this news. "Mother, that Yuan Wei Xiu disguised himself and has been wandering around Ling Yun Peak for several days. Did he come here for that mother and son?"
Qiao Ying said, "So what? Your uncle entrusted them to me, so naturally I have to take care of them."
"Your daughter understands. Later, your daughter will send him out," Jiang Qiao said with a smile. Yuan Lang was handsome and Yuan Wei Xiu, as his biological father, was also good-looking.
That night, Yuan Wei Xiu visited Ling Yun Peak again at night. Suddenly, there was an alarm. His eyes lit up. Countless torches were lit and his surroundings were as bright as daylight.
Yuan Wei Xiu drew his sword and stood back-to-back with Ou Yang Yi. They watched their surroundings vigilantly.
After Jiang Qiao saw Yuan Wei Xiu's appearance, she was a little disappointed. He wasn't as handsome as her uncle. No wonder he couldn't keep his wife and child. "So it turned out to be Eagle Yuan, or should I say Practitioner Yuan? Practitioner Yuan has really lived up to his reputation of the 'Eagle', entering my Ling Yun Peak."
"Stop talking nonsense. Where is Wen Su and her son? Did your Demon Sect take them away?" Yuan Wei Xiu said sharply.
"Who is Wen Su? Does Practioner Yuan think that just anyone can come to our Ling Yun Peak?" Jiang Qiao said frivolously.
Yuan Wei Xiu didn't believe Jiang Qiao's words, but he had checked for the past few days and hadn't found anything. Could he have made a mistake?
"In that case, I'm leaving!" Yuan Wei Xiu had finished speaking and now planned on flying away.
At the same time, countless arrows flew in under the cover of a large net.
Yuan Wei Xiu danced through the barrage with his sword, cutting down the arrows one by one. At the same time, Ou Yang Yi jumped forward and used his sword to slice open the large net. The master and apprentice cooperated wordlessly. There were some people on the big tree 10 metres away.
Chapter 84 – My Son is the Main Villain (part 4)
Jiang Qiao stopped the people who wanted to catch up. "Yuan Wei Xiu has high martial arts skills. You can't catch up to him if you chase him. This time was just a lesson for him. Change the traps in Ling Yun Peak immediately. There better not be anyone on the outskirts of my Ling Yun Peak next time. Whether it is the sect leader or me, nobody will get off lightly.
"Yes!"
Jiang Qiao turned around and counted. She hadn't seen Yuan Lang for a few days, so she went to look for him tonight! She wanted to tell him about Yuan Wei Xiu's injury and chat to him to deepen their feelings!
Jiang Qiao went to the river and boarded the boat on the bank. Li Su and Yuan Lang lived on the island in the middle of the lake. As it was surrounded by water, it was safe and secluded.
Jiang Qiao went ashore. Yuan Lang was practicing with his sword under the moonlight. Jiang Qiao didn't step forward since she didn't want to disturb him. She quietly watched from the side. This was the Falling Flower sword technique of the Jiang family. Her uncle had apparently taught him. It seemed that her uncle really regarded Yuan Lang as his own son.
"Lang'er, are you tired? Come here and get a drink and take a break!" Li Su walked over holding water.
"Mother, weren't you resting earlier? Why are you so disobedient?" Yuan Lang went over to take the cup. He put it aside and touched Li Su's hand. He then frowned and helped her sit on a chair. He knelt in front of her and said, "Mother, did you go to wash the clothes just now? Didn't I say that I could do these things? You aren't in good health, so how can you do these rough jobs?"
Then, he had red eyes. "If dad was still here, then I would feel distressed. When have you ever suffered like this!"
Li Su was a little speechless. It was just washing clothes. When Yuan Lang said this, it was like he thought it was a great travesty. But, she had to admit that the original owner's life was pretty good. She was pampered by her parents when she lived with them and she didn't have to endure hardships. After her parents died, she met Yuan Wei Xiu. While they were together, Yuan Wei Xiu didn't let the original owner do these things. When she met Yuan Qing You later, Yuan Qing You stayed with her all day long. He even held glasses of water for the original owner and fed her too.
This was the first time in the original owner's 26 years that she had washed clothes. No wonder Yuan Lang felt distressed.
Li Su sighed and touched Yuan Lang's hair. "Silly boy, you are only ten this year. You are still a child. How can you do this kind of thing? Washing clothes isn't a big deal, so don't be sad."
Yuan Lang bit his lip and held back his tears. He was such an incompetent son, letting his mother suffer!
Li Su felt helpless. She was really not made of glass, which would break when touched. It was just laundry. Apart from a bit of back pain, she was fine.
At this time, Jiang Qiao walked out of her hiding place. "This was due to our negligence. We will send a maid over tomorrow, along with two women to help."
Yuan Lang turned his head away, not wanting anyone to see him like this.
Li Su stood. "Thank you, but there is no need."
"Don't refuse. When my uncle was alive, what kind of life did you have? Even if my uncle is gone, you can still live like before. This is my mother's promise to my uncle! If you are really grateful, you should thank my uncle!" Jiang Qiao didn't even look at Li Su. She had no affection for women who were prettier than herself. If it wasn't for her uncle's sake, she would have ruined Li Su's face.
"Come here. You just had a problem with your execution of the Falling Flower sword technique. This is how it should be…" Jiang Qiao drew her sword and demonstrated the technique.
"What Falling Flower sword technique? Dad told me this was the Bright Moon sword technique." Yuan Lang stood and glanced at Li Su. When he saw his mother had no objections, he walked over to Jiang Qiao.
"What bullshit Bright Moon sword technique? This is my Qiao family's Falling Flower sword technique," Jiang Qiao said, irritated. "Come here, I will teach you."
Under the moonlight, Jiang Qiao taught Yuan Lang.
Li Su watched to the side for a while. Finally, she was unable to bear the cold wind blowing on the lake at night. She shivered and thought that this body was too fragile. She hurriedly went back inside.
As soon as she walked in, her instincts told her that there was someone in the room.
Li Su was alert. On this island in the middle of the lake, only she and her son lived. Their meals were provided by special people, so who was here?
Li Su wanted to withdraw quietly, but her mouth was covered and she was brought into a warm embrace. "Don't speak. It's me."
Yuan Wei Xiu? How did he find her? Li Su was surprised, but she nodded.
Wei Yuan Xiu let her go, a little disappointed. Li Su looked outside, then whispered, "How did you find this place? Jiang Qiao is outside."
"I just followed her," said Yuan Wei Xiu softly. "Don't be afraid. I will find a way to take you away."
When she heard the tone of Yuan Wei Xiu's voice, she figured he didn't know the relationship between Yuan Qing You and the Guang Ming Sect. Li Su didn't want to expose the relationship between the Guang Ming Sect and Yuan Lang too early, but she couldn't bear to have Yuan Lang's father have the reputation of a thief.
After thinking about it, Li Su said softly, "You go. We can't leave here at all. I don't want to drag you down. Besides, they have no malice towards us."
"They don't have malice towards you? They trapped you on the island in the middle of a lake and made you suffer so much." Yuan Wei Xiu suppressed his anger. He followed Jiang Qiao and swam in the lake stealthily. He then watched Li Su wash clothes by the lake. The lake was so cold and she had no internal strength, so she must have suffered!
Li Su saw Yuan Wei Xiu's angry expression and was a little speechless. Why did they all treat her like she was made of glass?!
Yuan Wei Xiu saw that she was silent and thought she had nothing to say. He also knew that tonight wasn't the best time to take away Li Su and Yuan Lang. Now that he knew where they were, he wasn't in a hurry. "Wait patiently for a few days. When the time is right, I will take you away. Don't worry!"
Li Su wanted to explain. "You are really misunderstanding. They do not hold any enmity towards us. In fact, they are Qing You's…"
"Su Su, I am sorry about before. I shouldn't have been so selfish and left you and our son alone. I won't be anymore. I will definitely take care of you," Yuan Wei Xiu said. He suddenly took Li Su's hand and had a serious expression on his face.
Suddenly, Li Su didn't know what to say. She was not interested in men, nor was she interested in love. She didn't plan on falling in love, let alone falling in love with Yuan Wei Xiu. But, seeing Yuan Wei Xiu like this, it was obvious he wanted to reunite. How should she refuse?
Yuan Wei Xiu heard something outside. He whispered in Li Su's ear, "Wait for me." Then, he flew out the window quickly.
Not long after, Yuan Lang called out, "Mother, are you asleep?"
Li Su hurriedly said, "No, what's wrong?"
Yuan Lang walked in. "Just now, Jiang Qiao said that Yuan Wei Xiu has come here. I am afraid it isn't safe here, so I want to change location."
Li Su breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Jiang Qiao and the others weren't stupid. "I don't care. What do you mean?"
"I also want to change the location. This place is surrounded by water. In summer, it's fine, but in winter it is too cold. Mother, you are weak and can't stand the cold." Yuan Lang was only thinking of his mother's health. As for Yuan Wei Xiu, it didn't matter why he was here. He had no idea how to face Yuan Wei Xiu anyway.
Li Su nodded. "Okay. Mother will listen to you."
The next day, Jiang Qiao changed their locations. She arranged for a maid to take care of them. Yuan Lang finally felt relieved and began to practice martial arts more seriously.
However, Yuan Wei Xiu was well-prepared. He took Ou Yang Yi into Ling Yun Peak again and broke through the numerous traps. When he arrived on the island in the middle of the lake, he found that nobody was there. Yuan Wei Xiu had been fooled. He was about to go back, but a barrage of arrows fell from the sky. Yuan Wei Xiu and Ou Yang Yi pulled out their swords and cut down the arrows as best as they could. One hit Ou Yang Yi in the leg.
Yuan Wei Xiu retreated to the water while protecting Ou Yang Yi.
The master and disciple left Ling Yun Peak with great difficulty. They were covered in injuries. Ou Yang Yi endured the pain. "Master, what do we do now?"
Yuan Wei Xiu looked at Ou Yang Yi's wound and thought about it. He was very embarrassed. "Let your wound heal first, then we can talk about it later." He couldn't risk Yi'r's life for Su Su and their son. Forget it. He would look for future opportunities.
Ou Yang Yi understood what Yuan Wei Xiu was thinking. "Master, I'm fine. It is just a minor injury. Let's spend a few days exploring Ling Yun Peak."
Yuan Wei Xiu shook his head. "No, they moved Lang'er and his mother to another place. They were wary of us. If we come back a few times, it won't be any use. We'll talk about this later." If he wanted to come back again in the future, then he would come alone. He will not let Yi'r come with him and endanger him. Yi'r had a pitiful life, so he couldn't let him take risks anymore.
"Master!" Ou Yang Yi muttered, dissatisfied.
"Fine. Practice the Flying Eagle sword technique I gave you first," said Yuan Wei Xiu.
In Guang Ming Hall, Jiang Qiao said, "Mother, I did a good job this time, didn't I?"
Qiao Ying was a little helpless. "Yes."
Jiang Qiao glanced at her eldest brother, Jiang Rong, triumphantly. Jiang Rong was expressionless. "Has uncle been buried?"
"Mm." Qiao Ying nodded.
"I'm going to pay respects to uncle." Jiang Rong frowned. Their young uncle was a few years older than him. His father died early, so his uncle was like a father and a brother to him. Ten years ago, uncle was unhappy with his mother because of a woman. Although they still kept in contact, they weren't as close as before. He didn't make that trip to Yun Nan, and now his uncle was gone.
Jiang Rong strode to Han Yue Valley, where his uncle lived while he was here at Ling Yun Peak. His uncle was also buried here.
From afar, there was a woman in white standing in front of her uncle's grave. She appeared to be slim and delicate when the wind blew.
Jiang Rong frowned, unhappiness growing in his heart. He heard that his mother let that woman and her son live in Han Yue Valley. It seemed like this woman was one and the same.
He strode forward to see what kind of woman made his uncle so fascinated.
Chapter 85 – My Son is the Main Villain (part 5)
Li Su was paying her respects to Yuan Qing You. Han Yue Valley had a good location, where it was warm in winter and cool in summer. There was also a hot spring. The scenery was beautiful. Li Su strolled around without any problems.
Suddenly, she heard footsteps behind her. Li Su was a little surprised. Apart from a few of the masters and servants, people rarely came here. If it wasn't Jiang Qiao, then who could it be?
Li Su turned her head and saw a man with straight eyebrows walk over. He had similar eyebrows to Jiang Qiao, so he was likely Jiang Qiao's eldest brother, the young leader of the Guang Ming Sect, Jiang Rong!
Jiang Rong saw Li Su's face. Even though he had seen countless people, he still lost his senses for a while. He immediately looked away. Although she did not recognise him, she was married to his uncle so she was his aunt.
No wonder his uncle was fascinated by her. She was a beautiful woman. Jiang Rong couldn't help but look at Li Su again.
Li Su nodded slightly.
Jiang Rong walked forward, bowed his head, and put on incense. He thought a few prayers. He slightly bowed his head and said, "Please take care of your body, madam."
Li Su nodded slightly. Thank you very much. I have something to do, so please excuse me." Jiang Rong was much better than Jiang Qiao.
After speaking, Li Su turned around and went back.
Jiang Rong no longer had any misgivings. He stared at Li Su.
"Older bro, you better not have fallen in love with this misfortune. Do you want to follow in uncle's footsteps?" Jiang Qiao said from behind him.
Jiang Rong looked away. "What are you doing here? Did you come here to see Yuan Lang? Don't forget, you are ten years older than him!"
"What about it? Should I have misgivings about this?" Jiang Qiao smiled presumptuously. "The difference between Yuan Lang and I is just age. On the contrary, you and that woman are about the same age, but aren't you from different generations? You know how much mother valued uncle. She wants to fulfil his dying wish. If you aren't afraid of angering mother, then you can go ahead with this line of thinking!"
Their father died early when they were young. Their mother was in charge of teaching affairs for the first time. Her uncle looked after her and her siblings. Her uncle was a free and easy person. Most of the time, he travelled, so she and her siblings had to depend on each other to live. Although they had occasional disputes, they had a tacit understanding. They could understand each other's intentions with a look.
With just one look, she understood that her eldest brother was really tempted by that woman. She was really a disaster!
It was just that their mother would never allow such a thing to happen. Mother was merciless so she would not hesitate to be cruel if her eldest brother angered her.
As his younger sister, Jiang Qiao kindly reminded him.
Jiang Rong snorted. So what if there was a generational gap? Would he care about this? "Where is Yuan Lang?"
Jiang Qiao looked at Jiang Rong warily. She knew him and he had always been unscrupulous. "What do you want to do?"
Jiang Rong gave Jiang Qiao a cold look. Jiang Qiao couldn't help but wince. "He is a son recognised by uncle. Even our family's swordsmanship has been passed down to him."
"Tch." Jiang Qiao rolled her eyes. For the sake of her uncle, she was afraid that she had to look at that misfortune! However, her eldest brother was extremely talented in martial arts. He managed to practice the Bright Jade Divine martial arts to the 7th level. Their mother has only reached the 8th level. In time, eldest brother would definitely surpass mother. With her eldest brother's guidance, Yuan Lang would surely make great progress.
Thinking of this, Jiang Qiao didn't object so much. "He must be practicing his martial arts under the waterfall at this time. Older bro, I'll take you to him. Yuan Lang is really hardworking and talented. Uncle taught him well."
Jiang Rong ignored Jiang Qiao's words. He would know once he saw him.
The two of them walked to Flowing Pavilion. As Flowing Pavilion was next to the waterfall, they could see the water fall down 3000 feet. Yuan Lang stood under the waterfall, without a shirt, practicing his sword techniques.
Jiang Rong watched him for a while. He wasn't bad. He had already practiced skilfully. What Yuan Lang lacked was strength, so he had chosen to practice under a waterfall.
Jiang Qiao watched for a while, then waved and shouted. "Yuan Lang, come here!"
Yuan Lang heard her voice and sheathed his sword. He jumped ashore. "Cousin, why are you here?"
Jiang Qiao stepped forward and handed him his clothes. "Hurry up and put these back on. Don't catch a cold. Come, let me introduce you to my eldest brother. Eldest brother, this is Yuan Lang."
Yuan Lang got dressed. He was a little nervous and didn't know what to call him.
Jiang Rong nodded slightly. "Since you are uncle's son, you can call me cousin."
"Yes, cousin!" Yuan Lang breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that he had no blood relation to their family. Since he and his mother had been protected by the sect, he would work hard to prove he was worthy.
Jiang Rong snapped off a branch. "Come, let's spar."
Yuan Lang was a little dazed. Jiang Qiao happily pushed him. "What are you doing? It is rare that my eldest brother is interested in teaching. You shouldn't let this opportunity go to waste."
Yuan Lang also knew that this was a good opportunity, so he focussed and immediately rushed over with his sword.
The two then fought.
It so happened that Li Su heard that Jiang Rong and Jiang Qiao came to visit Yuan Lang, so she was a little worried. She came over to take a look and saw this scene. She immediately stood aside and watched with interest.
Although she didn't understand martial arts, she could tell that Jiang Rong had the upper hand. It was like he was a cat stalking a mouse in a courtyard. Yuan Lang was a little embarrassed and tired. His face was flushed and his breathing was laboured.
After the two of them clashed 10 times, Jiang Rong's eyes swept over Li Su. He jumped away and threw away the branch in his hands. "Do you understand your problem?"
Yuan Lang stood there, panting. A trace of embarrassment flashed across his face when he saw Li Su. He looked so useless and his mother had seen him like this. Damn it!
Li Su smiled and walked over. She gently helped Yuan Lang wipe the sweat off his face. "You are already great. You are still young now. In time, you will be as good as the young master."
Yuan Lang felt greatly encouraged. "Does mother really think that I will be that good?"
Li Su nodded. "Definitely!" With regards to Yuan Lang's martial arts, nobody else could match him. If it wasn't for Shui Yi Yi's tricks, Ou Yang Yi could not have won against Yuan Lang!
Yuan Lang smiled happily.
The atmosphere between the mother and son was very harmonious, but to the Jiang siblings, it was a bit annoying. They wanted to separate the two of them.
The two looked at each other, then looked away.
Yuan Lang was comforted by his mother. "Thank you for your advice, cousin."
Jiang Rong nodded. "You have a talent, but you don't have a master to advise you. My uncle was a bit soft on you."
Jiang Qiao continued. "Why don't we find a master for Yuan Lang? We have a lot of other affairs to deal with so we can't come here every day. It's not productive for you to study by yourself. Yuan Lang, what do you think?"
Find a master? Wouldn't it be impossible to be with mother? Yuan Lang hesitated and glanced at Li Su.
Jiang Rong thought for a while and said, "I can send you to Tian Shan and find Master Taoist Xue. The thing he regrets the most is that he didn't find a good apprentice. You are highly talented, so Master would appreciate it. However, if you become his apprentice, you can't leave the mountain unless you are successful in your studies. Think about it."
A hint of surprise flashed through Jiang Qiao's eyes. "Yuan Lang, this is an excellent opportunity. Taoist Xue is one of the four sky demons. The four sky demons have a weird temper. They rarely accept apprentices as the prospective apprentices need to have talent. Eldest brother is willing to introduce you. This is a great fortune. What are you waiting for?"
Yuan Lang heard Yuan Qing You mention the names of the four demons of Tian Shan. It was said that they were 4 martial art gods and demons, with great ability, but had strange temperaments. He did not expect that Jiang Rong's master was actually one of the four sky demons. No wonder his martial arts were good. If he could have one of the four sky demons of Tian Shan as his teacher…
Li Su was also a little moved. The four sky demons of Tian Shan did not have a direct role in the story, but they had always existed through people's words. It turned out Jiang Rong was one of the apprentices of one of the four sky demons in Tian Shan. No matter how much the so-called upright martial artists suppressed the Guang Ming Sect, the Guang Ming Sect had always stood firm.
If Yuan Lang could build a relationship with the four sky demons of the Tian Shan, then it would be a good thing for him.
"Go, Lang'er! No matter what the result is, it is an opportunity. You have to try it," Li Su encouraged.
"But…" Yuan Lang didn't want to give up this opportunity, but he was reluctant to leave his mother. After weighing his options, he decided to give it a try, in case people looked down on him later.
"Okay, I'll go. Thank you, cousin!" Yuan Lang said seriously.
Jiang Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, a smile on her face.
There was no expression on Jiang Rong's face, but he kept looking at Li Su's smile. The more he looked, the more he wanted to monopolise this person.
When Qiao Ying learned that Jiang Rong was going to take Yuan Lang to Tian Shan, she frowned slightly. "Did you think about it?"
Jiang Rong nodded slightly. "Don't worry, mother. I know." He never feared his opponents and didn't mind training them since he would always stand at the highest point. Nobody could match him. No matter how strong his opponent was, he would only be stronger than them.
Qiao Ying nodded in satisfaction. "It's good that you have this confidence. Take care of him. They are your uncle's only priority."
Jiang Rong lowered his gaze. "Don't worry, mother."
Qiao Ying was a little tired and waved her hand. "My old injury has relapsed and I need to retreat for a while. When you come back from Tian Shan, I will retreat. During this period, the educational affairs will be left to you."
Jiang Rong nodded. "Yes."
After Qiao Ying went to rest, Jiang Rong strode out with a face full of ambitions. Mother, the best way to take care of a person is to earn her trust and make her your own. Only in this way, could he give her the best care. Mother, don't you think so?
At night, Li Su talked with Yuan Lang for a long time. Yuan Lang was conflicted. On one hand, he wanted to become the disciple to one of the four sky demons, but on the other hand, he didn't want to be separated from his mother. He didn't want to leave her alone. How could he rest assured?
Li Su didn't think about this much. She thought of Yuan Lang. If Yuan Lang and Ou Yang Yi were destined to become enemies, then she hoped that the one who came out on top would be Yuan Lang.
Chapter 86 – My Son is the Main Villain (part 6)
Jiang Rong snuck into Han Yue Valley and happened to hear the conversation between the mother and the child.
"Lang'er, what are you worried about?" Li Su asked.
"Mother, I am worried about you staying here by yourself." Yuan Lang frowned. "Although the Divine Sect cares for us on behalf of dad, I always felt a little uneasy. I'm worried…" If Qiao Ying, Jiang Rong, and the others were really good people, then why didn't dad introduce them? Unless, it was because dad didn't want to worry them.
Cousin Jiang Rong was also about the same age as his mother. Although he didn't say or act untoward, Yuan Lang always felt that Jiang Rong seemed to harbour some intentions towards his mother.
His mother was Jiang Rong's aunt. Was the Guang Ming Divine Sect called the Demon Sect by the martial arts practitioners because they didn't care about the rules and etiquette and acted as they pleased? Seniority might not be a hindrance in Jiang Rong's opinion.
"Mother, why don't you come to Tian Shan with me?" Yuan Lang asked suddenly.
Li Su smiled helplessly. "Lang'er, if you don't think this is a safe place, then is Tian Shan a safe place?" Li Su sighed. She touched her own face. What a beautiful face. Sometimes she herself is fascinated when she looks in the mirror. What a pity that such a beautiful face is only suitable for someone being raised in a boudoir so she could cling to a man like a weak and useless woman. In this world, if she did not have enough strength or influence, then such a beautiful face would only be a burden.
Right now, this was their situation.
Did she really have to ruin this face? Li Su was a little embarrassed. On the one hand, she didn't want to bear the burden of this face, but on the other hand, she was afraid of pain.
But, if she could exchange her face for her and her son's peace of mind, then it would be good.
Yuan Lang seemed to have noticed Li Su's thoughts and pressed Li Su's hand nervously. "Mother, what do you want to do? You shouldn't be thinking of… No, absolutely not!"
Immediately, Yuan Lang had red eyes. "Mother, if father can protect you for ten years, so can I! Wait for me. I will become stronger. I won't let you be frightened by others." He really deserves to die. He shouldn't have said this to his mother.
Li Su touched Yuan Lang's head. "Lang'er, don't rush for quick successes when you learn martial arts. Mother hopes that you learn martial arts so you have the ability to protect yourself in this troubled world. Don't worry, mother will take care of herself. Don't worry!"
After transmigrating many times, Li Su felt she was a little powerless. She was as powerful as a cow, but she was useless in this martial arts world. As a mother, she could not protect her son and instead had him worry about her. She had really failed.
As a woman, she could tell that Jiang Rong had different intentions for her, but she couldn't say it, especially when Yuan Lang was there. If Jiang Rong did have such thoughts, how could she refuse? Could it be that Jiang Rong was waiting for her to break his dick? But, she would definitely die in that case. She was not afraid of death. But, if she could live, then she didn't want to die. Besides, if she really died, then Yuan Lang would likely be worse than in the original work. What should she do? Had she known this would happen, she would have gone with Yuan Wei Xiu. With Yuan Wei Xiu's temperament, as long as she refused, he wouldn't dare to touch her.
This was really a dilemma.
After she finally coaxed Yuan Lang to leave, Li Su sat in front of a mirror and looked at herself. She was so beautiful. She was a woman who was also tempted to look at her face. No wonder men flocked to her.
Li Su slowly opened the drawer. There was a small dagger inside. She held the dagger in her hands, shining sharp and cold in the light.
She slowly put the dagger to her face and two voices shouted out in unison, "Stop!"
Li Su's hands shook and she almost cut her face. Fortunately, there was no danger.
The two men who jumped into the room were Jiang Rong and Yuan Wei Xiu. When they saw Li Su's face was fine, they sighed in relief.
Yuan Wei Xiu was outrageous. He had found their residence again. Li Su looked at Yuan Wei Xiu in surprise. What kind of expression did he and Jiang Rong have? She just wanted to shave her head and become a nun. She knew that Yuan Lang didn't want her to disfigure herself to protect herself. Since she cared about what her son thought, she couldn't disfigure herself.
"Wei Xiu, how are you…"
"Yuan Wei Xiu? You really think that my Divine Sect is nothing?!" Jiang Rong glanced at Li Su, then pulled out his sword. Yuan Wei Xiu had been famous for a while. He had an adventure after he fell off that cliff and his martial arts had improved greatly. Jiang Rong didn't dare to underestimate his enemy.
Yuan Wei Xiu glanced at Li Su. "Stay back!" He then drew his sword and clashed with Jiang Rong. They took their fight outside and didn't give way to each other.
Li Su sighed and pretended to say a few words. "Don't fight!"
Yuan Lang rushed over when he heard her voice and saw 2 people fighting. "Mother, what's going on?"
Just as Li Su was about to speak, a few people in black suddenly rushed over. A short figure leading the group grabbed Li Su's hand. "Follow me!"
Yuan Lang was anxious. "Where are you taking my mother?"
The man in black pulled off his mask to reveal that he was Ou Yang Yi. Ou Yang Yi said, anxiously, "The Demon Sect is full of evil ambitions. Why are you still here?!"
Yuan Lang hesitated for a moment. In the end, when faced with the choice of an apprenticeship to improve his martial arts and his mother, he still chose his mother.
When Li Su saw that Yuan Lang chose to leave, she breathed a sigh of relief. Forget it. No matter how the plot turned out, they would leave first.
At this time, Jiang Qiao rushed over with some people. When she saw someone was about to take away Li Su and Yuan Lang, she immediately chased after them.
Yuan Lang made a decision upon seeing this. "Mother, you should go with them. At least your safety is guaranteed. Mother, wait for me. I will definitely come find you. Trust me!"
Li Su shook her head and firmly took Yuan Lang's hand. "No, I can't leave you!" Nonsense, Yuan Lang was her target. She had to stay with Yuan Lang in case anything happened to him and she didn't know about it. What would she do if Yuan Lang blackened?
Ou Yang Yi rolled his eyes and pushed the two of them into the middle of the men in black. "Third Uncle, take them first."
They came here after making perfect preparations. They would definitely be able to take away Li Su and Yuan Lang.
Two of the men took Li Su and Yuan Lang away. They used their martial arts and flew down the mountain.
This was the first time Li Su had flown. It was so exciting and romantic! She finally understood why the relationship between the hero and the heroine improved after they flew like this in those ancient dramas. The atmosphere and feeling were really romantic.
Half an hour later, Li Su and Yuan Lang were taken to a house. "The Demon Sect will find us soon. Please change your clothes quickly. We have to leave this place right away," said the person who was called third uncle by Ou Yang Yi. He had not looked at Li Su until now. He was not a villain like Yuan Qing You.
"Thank you. Lang'er, go quickly," Li Su ordered.
Yuan Lang nodded, then turned his head and glanced behind him. Now that he had made a decision, he would no longer be nostalgic.
Soon, the two of them changed their clothes and got on the carriage. The third uncle and the other man also changed their clothes. They drove out of town quickly.
Yuan Lang took Li Su's arm and tried to support her with his immature body. He tried to alleviate the bumpy feeling from the carriage ride.
In fact, Li Su felt very uncomfortable. The bumpiness of the carriage exceeded her imagination. She looked at Yuan Lang, who was uncomfortable but was working hard to take care of her, then pushed her discomfort back and endured it.
They rode in the carriage for 2 days. Li Su could barely maintain a sitting position on the first day. After that, she couldn't handle it anymore. In order for them to hurry along, she did not dare drink water since she was afraid she couldn't hold it in. Upon seeing this, Yuan Lang felt very distressed and called for the carriage to stop.
Third uncle and the other man looked at Li Su's pale face and felt a little embarrassed. This lady was so good-looking. They had never seen such a beautiful woman, but she was too delicate. Third uncle scratched his head. Old Yuan had instructed them that they must rush to You Yue Valley within 5 days, otherwise they would be discovered by the Demon Sect. They couldn't stop!
After thinking about it, Old Yuan bought a few quilts from the farmhouse and spread them in the carriage. He let Li Su lie down before proceeding.
Finally, they made it to You Yue Valley within 5 days. Li Su was already in a coma at this point. Yuan Lang was just a child, even if he was a martial artist. He was only slightly better off than Li Su.
Third uncle handed them over to Master Qing Feng, the master of You Yue Valley, then left.
Master Qing Feng looked at the mother and son and felt distressed. Li Su didn't care. She originally looked pitiful. Although Master Qing Feng didn't like women to be too beautiful, she felt sorry for her when she saw her… What made Master Qing Feng feel the most distressed was Yuan Lang, who was also good-looking with his clean brows, red lips, and white teeth. At this time, his small face was pale and he looked even more pitiful. She waited for the mother and son to change and wash up. She then personally diagnosed and treated Li Su.
Master Qing Feng was born to a family with medical abilities and she possessed superb medical skills, allowing her to head her family. Her husband and his concubine killed her child. They wanted to get rid of her and seize the medical books left to her from her ancestors. Master Qing Feng killed the scumbag and the slut, then became a nun, then a Taoist. Later, she lived in You Yue Valley with several servants waiting on her.
This time, Yuan Wei Xiu entrusted her to take care of Li Su and Yuan Lang. Master Qing Feng was originally just going to do it to pay back a favour. She didn't expect to be interested by them.
Master Qing Feng finished diagnosing and treating Li Su. She prescribed the medicine and ordered someone to stay with them. She then left.
As soon as she exited, she saw Yuan Lang standing at the door, nervous. When Yuan Lang saw her come out, he asked. "Yuan Lang thanks Master for this life-saving grace. How is my mother doing?"
Master Qing Feng laughed when she saw him being so gracious. "Don't worry. Your mother is fine. She is just tired, so she needs to rest a little longer. Your father… How could he let Old Third pick up someone? He is a reckless man and doesn't know how to treat women. He let you and your mother suffer for nothing."
When Yuan Lang heard that Li Su was okay, he breathed a sigh of relief. He was a little awkward when he heard Master Qing Feng had a lot to say about his dad.
Master Qing Feng's temperament had changed drastically since she was betrayed by her husband. If it was in the past and someone had dared to question her, she would have been angry. But, in front of Yuan Lang, she was very kind. "Silly boy, no matter how Yuan Wei Xiu is, he is your father. What has happened in the past cannot be changed. However, he is still very good to you and your mother. In order to save you from the Demon Sect this time, he used a lot of favours. You must remember to be grateful."
Chapter 87 – My Son is the Main Villain (part 7)
When she saw that Yuan Lang was still awkward, Master Qing Feng was a little grudging, but she smiled more kindly. She touched Yuan Lang's hair and felt compassion for this poor child. Such a life experience was not ideal. In short, the grievances of the previous generation had tired out this child.
After all, it was that bastard Yuan Qing You who had been wrong. One shouldn't go after their friend's wife? Didn't he understand this principle? Doing such a thing really tarnished her Xiao Meng Chang's name!
"It doesn't matter if you need to think about it for a while. Take your time. Don't worry. Come, let me check your pulse." Master Qing Feng took Yuan Lang's hand and sat down to check his pulse.
The servants who were around were shocked. Was this their Valley Master? Did the sun rise from the west?
There was nothing majorly wrong. Yuan Lang was just a bit tired. After Master Qing Feng checked his pulse, she handed him a bottle of pills. "Here, take one. This is a health pill that I have carefully developed. Take one to regain your strength."
Yuan Lang didn't hesitate and ate it immediately. His dantian1 felt hot and his eyes lit up. He knew that what he ate was a good thing.
It wasn't that he wasn't cautious. He just knew that in their current situation, if Master Qing Feng wanted to kill him and his mother, there was no need to go to such lengths since it would be all too easy. Besides, master was the person that person arranged. Her character should be trustworthy. Besides, since he was young, women had always been good to him. Women anywhere from 3-80 liked him. In this regard, Yuan Lang was relatively confident.
Master Qing Feng was very happy about Yuan Lang's lack of caution. But her happiness soon changed to worry. "You stupid boy, why aren't you on guard? You won't be able to wander the lands like this." Master Qing Feng began to instil some taboos for venturing out into the lands.
The servant woman who was waiting next to her was speechless. She should teach Gentleman Yuan to be on guard? But if Gentleman Yuan met people like Master Qing Feng, who casually handed out many priceless items, could strengthen one's internal force, and could make a Lifelong Dewdrop Pill and a Life Conservation Pill, then there was no need to be on guard. The more the better.
When Li Su woke up, she found that Yuan Lang already had a good impression of Master Qing Feng. When Yuan Wei Xiu and Ou Yang Yi got rid of the Demon Sect and made their way to You Yue Valley, Master Qing Feng had already treated the mother and son.
Master Qing Feng once again coaxed Yuan Lang to take a medicinal bath so that he could remain healthy. It seemed that Yuan Lang was soaking in these medicinal baths every day when he was at You Yue Valley. Yuan Wei Xiu was a little speechless. Yi'er had only soaked in these kinds of baths once, and Master Qing Feng was only willing to dispense this medicine under certain circumstances.
"I have discussed with Su Su. Su Su decided to worship me as a teacher and study medicine with me. As for Lang'er, his martial art talent is very high. It is too wasteful for him to study medicine with me. You should find him a good master!" Master Qing Feng said with a big smile.
Yuan Wei Xiu glanced at Li Su. She wanted to learn medicine from Master Qing Feng too? Did she refuse to forgive him? "Master, can I talk to her alone?"
Master Qing Feng didn't have the time to bother with the affairs between these idiotic men and women, so she nodded.
Yuan Lang was a little nervous. Ou Yang Yi grabbed him. "Go, I heard that you can also do martial arts. Let's learn from each other!"
"Kid Yi, don't fool around! How can Lang'er compare to you when you have had many adventures and have great martial arts? Don't be proud. Wait a few more years. Lang'er will surely surpass you. Lang'er, come. Come to the medicinal bath with master," beckoned Master Qing Feng.
Originally, Yuan Lang didn't like Ou Yang Yi much, so he chose to be with Master Qing Feng.
Only…
"Stupid boy, don't worry. Your mother knows well," said Master Qing Feng. This was also the reason why she accepted Li Su as a disciple. After they talked, Master Qing Feng discovered that Li Su was not as weak as she appeared and that she was a thoughtful person. They had similar views on many things. Master Qing Feng only agreed to accept her as a disciple so she could teach Li Su some medical skills that Li Su could use to protect herself. Otherwise, with Li Su's appearance, she would get into trouble everywhere.
"Are you still reluctant to forgive me?" Yuan Wei Xiu asked as he and Li Su walked to the lake.
Li Su looked at the sparkling lake and shook her head. "There is nothing to forgive. I just don't want to live with a man anymore. The master finally agreed to accept me as a disciple. She has let me stay in You Yue Valley to learn some medical skills so I can protect myself in the future." She thought about it. Chinese medicine was extensive and profound. It was not easy for her to get through it all. She decided to specialise in poison in the future. Whoever dared to approach her would be poisoned to death. Who would dare to covet her then!
Yuan Wei Xiu was silent for a long while. He had to admit that it might be for the best if Li Su stayed in You Yue Valley. Although Master Qing Feng had a weird temper, she had superb medical skills. Nobody dared to offend her, even if she was wrong. Moreover, there were many mechanisms in You Yue Valley that were easy to defend and difficult to attack. Therefore, he felt more relieved if Su Su stayed here.
"Can I see you in the future?" Yuan Wei Xiu thought for a long time before he asked this.
"Of course you can. Anyway, there is still Lang'er you need to worry about in the future," Li Su said softly. Although Yuan Wei Xiu was a bit selfish and irresponsible, he was a good person. "Lang'er needs some time. I really thought you were dead at the beginning. For Lang'er's sake, I didn't tell him about his birth history. Don't blame him."
Yuan Wei Xiu nodded. He actually didn't know how to face Yuan Lang. Yuan Lang was his only son, but he thought of another man as his father. However, that man had framed him and coveted his wife! "I know. I will find him a good master."
Li Su did not intend to let Yuan Wei Xiu teach Yuan Lang himself as Yuan Wei Xiu considered Ou Yang Yi just as important. After all, they had 7-8 years of comradeship. Li Su couldn't bear to let her son stay by Yuan Wei Xiu's side. All she could do now was just ask Yuan Wei Xiu to find a good master for Yuan Lang.
There was no description of Yuan Lang's time at the Kun Lun school, but she didn't need to think about it. His experience definitely wasn't good. Otherwise, why would Yuan Lang have killed the head of the Kun Lun school?
"Lang'er has been spoiled by us since he was young. Qing You was very good to Lang'er. He witnessed the hardships I endured when I gave birth to Lang'er. Lang'er has a slightly arrogant temperament, but he is still a filial child," Li Su said softly.
But, Yuan Wei Xiu only heard one sentence. "Did it hurt when you gave birth to Lang'er?"
Li Su smiled. "It took three days and three nights to give birth to Lang'er. In the end, I almost bled to death. If Qing You didn't find a doctor, neither Lang'er nor I would have been in this world."
Yuan Wei Xiu felt even more guilt. He bowed his head and said, after a long while, "I'm sorry. It was my fault." How could he leave his wife and son behind like that back then?! He obviously loved Su Su so much and looked forward to their child! If he hadn't left before, would their family be happy now?
Li Su looked at Yuan Wei Xiu. "The weakest form of apology is 'I'm sorry'. Wei Xiu, you are a good person. What happened before was not entirely your fault, but we can't go back." Yuan Wei Xiu had lots of friends and high status across the lands. She had to build a good relationship for Yuan Lang's sake.
A trace of pain flashed through Yuan Wei Xiu's eyes, but he still expressed his understanding and respect. "I respect your choice. Su Su, just… Don't refuse my help." He had already done something wrong once and he didn't want to repeat it. In this life, he owed Su Su and Yuan Lang. He could pay them back slowly!
Li Su smiled. This was the difference between the path of justice and the demon path. If she and Jiang Rong talked about such things, then she was pretty sure that Jiang Rong would not care at all and still do whatever he wanted. It was better to deal with good people like Yuan Wei Xiu.
"Thank you!"
Yuan Wei Xiu thought about it and finally decided to send Yuan Lang to a Shao Lin Temple to worship Master Yuan Hui as a teacher.
After listening to him, Li Su immediately objected. "My son cannot be a monk."
Master Qing Feng and Ou Yang Yi couldn't help but laugh, even though they had heavy smiles on their faces like Yuan Wei Xiu.
Yuan Lang was a little embarrassed and pulled on the corner of Li Su's clothes. "Mother, not all the disciples at the Shao Lin Temple are monks."
Li Su breathed a sigh of relief. He was just going to go to the Shao Lin Temple to become a disciple. The Shao Lin Temple was full of men. Yuan Lang, who had very good relationships with the opposite gender, probably wouldn't be as comfortable as he was back in You Yue Valley. But, it was fine. For boys, it was better to be masculine.
"Do you also want to go?" Li Su asked.
Yuan Lang nodded. "Mm. Shao Lin martial arts is profound. I want to go!"
"Okay. Since you've decided, you can't regret it. No matter how hard it is, you have to persist. When you have time, come back to You Yue Valley to see your mother. Your mother will stay here until you come back," Li Su said as she touched Yuan Lang's head.
Yuan Lang nodded solemnly. No matter how hard it was, he would never give up. He must learn martial arts well so that he could protect his mother in the future. Then, she could live freely and go wherever she wanted instead of her having to hide in You Yue Valley.
Yuan Wei Xiu said, "I will talk to Master Yuan Hui. Lang'er should be able to come back every three months."
"Thank you!" Li Su said gratefully.
Yuan Wei Xiu shook his head. "This is just what I should do."
Master Qing Feng had already taken Yuan Lang over and started packing his luggage. She put all kinds of healing medicines and rare detoxification pills without asking for payment.
Li Su also went with him.
Yuan Wei Xiu looked at Ou Yang Yi for a while. He thought he had been ignoring Ou Yang Yi too much, so he called Ou Yang Yi outside. "What about you? Do you want to go to the Shao Lin Temple to study? Or did you want to go to another school? Master will help you!"
Ou Yang Yi smiled. "Follow master! This apprentice has already learned a lot. I won't go anywhere. I will just follow master!" He was abandoned by his biological parents when he was a child. His adoptive father was a woodcutter. When his adoptive father went up the mountain to chop wood, he encountered a hungry wolf. Before his adoptive father died, his adoptive father met master and asked master to adopt him. When master found him, he hadn't eaten for 3 days. Master then raised him, so master was like his father. He won't leave his master.

Chapter 88 – My Son is the Main Villain (part 8)
Ou Yang Yi was naturally open-minded. He would not get jealous just because Yuan Wei Xiu attached importance to Yuan Lang. On the contrary, he would make things clear for Yuan Wei Xiu's sake. "Master doesn't have to worry about me being jealous of Yuan Lang. I know that Yuan Lang is different from me. Master sent Yuan Lang to Shao Lin Temple to let him learn martial arts and to let him temper himself. I understand."
Yuan Wei Xiu smiled and reached out to pat Ou Yang Yi's head. Ou Yang Yi's importance to him was much higher than Yuan Lang's. In life where the future was uncertain, the child who accompanied and supported him had always been this sun-like child. If Yi'r wasn't around, then he was afraid that he might not be able to survive until today.
At this time, Yuan Lang seemed to notice something. He turned around and happened to see this scene. The person who was supposed to be his father was smiling warmly and touching the head of another child, like his supposed father and that child were an actual father-son.
Yuan Lang was at a loss for a moment. He didn't know if he was jealous or if it was another emotion. He only knew that he felt uncomfortable. But, he saw Li Su talking to Master Qing Feng about what luggage to prepare for him, and he suddenly felt relieved.
A dad? Whatever. If you had one, then you had one. If you didn't, then it didn't matter. He had a mother and that was enough! Yuan Lang looked at Li Su with a smile on his face.
In fact, both Li Su and Master Qing Feng saw this, but they pretended they hadn't. Li Su already knew what Yuan Wei Xiu was like. On the other hand, Master Qing Feng was the one who was very embarrassed for Yuan Lang. Yuan Wei Xiu was an idiot!
Forget it. Lang'er did not have his father's love. He had his mother and her, his master! Master Qing Feng thought like this.
Five days later, Yuan Wei Xiu, Ou Yang Yi, and Yuan Lang prepared to set off on horseback for the Song Shan Shao Lin Temple. Master Qing Feng and Li Su sent them off outside You Yue Valley.
"Mother, take care of yourself. I will come back to see you when I have time." Yuan Lang was reluctant to be separated from his mother, but he knew that if he never left her, he would never grow up. He had to work hard to become stronger so he could protect his mother! The only person his mother could rely on was him!
Li Su was also very uneasy. She could only keep telling Yuan Lang, "Take care of yourself. Mother is waiting for you to come back!" She then thought of having Yuan Wei Xiu run to Shao Lin Temple to pay more attention to Yuan Lang's situation.
After half an hour of saying goodbye, Yuan Wei Xiu and the others did not leave You Yue Valley.
Yuan Wei Xiu was very patient. He silently led the horse beside him and waited.
Ou Yang Yi was young and had a lot of energy. He didn't like this old-woman speed. He urged, "Well, are we setting off? If we delay, it will get dark."
Master Qing Feng and Li Su rolled their eyes at Ou Yang Yi. Li Su was speechless. He deserved to be the grown-up child of Yuan Wei, a steel-like man. He was equally steel-like, which was unpleasant. It was no wonder that Ou Yang Yi was not popular here. The only girl who liked him was the heroine, Shui Yi Yi, who also had a disability. Yes, Shui Yi Yi lost the sight in her right eye when she was a child.
That's right. She was blind if she liked a man like Ou Yang Yi. Or so Li Su thought.
But, she also knew that they should get going. "Lang'er, when you are travelling, remember to look after yourself."
Yuan Lang nodded and let go of her hand. His eyes were red when he turned around. He was afraid that his mother would see, so he lowered his head and turned his horse. "Mother, master, take care of yourselves. Lang'er will be going now!"
Yuan Wei Xiu and Ou Yang Yi also turned their horses. Yuan Wei Xiu glanced at Li Su. "Take care!" The 3 of them rode off.
Li Su watched them leave. When she glanced at Master Qing Feng she saw that Master Qing Feng had red eyes. "Master!"
"Shao Lin Temple only has men. I don't know if Lang'er is used to it, so Lang'er should go with him," said Master Qing Feng as she wiped her tears away.
Li Su looked speechless. Why did she feel like the master was more nervous than her? Li Su took Master Qing Feng's arm and helped her walk back. Neither of them noticed a figure flash past far behind them.
On Ling Yun Peak, Jiang Rong looked at the kneeling man with a gloomy expression. "Is what you said true?"
"Yes, Yan Wu saw that Mrs. Yuan is indeed in You Yue Valley. There are many mechanisms in You Yue Valley. Yan Wu was afraid of rushing in, so he sent a flying pigeon to notify this subordinate."
"Where is Yuan Lang?" Jiang Rong asked.
"According to Yan Wu's investigation, Yuan Wei Xiu seems to have sent Gentleman Yuan to Shao Lin Temple to study a skill."
"Understood. Leave first. You aren't allowed to tell anyone about this," ordered Jiang Rong. He had to think about transferring Jiang Qiao away. He didn't want her to spoil his plan.
Yuan Wei Xiu took Ou Yang Yi and Yuan Lang to the Shao Lin Temple. After Yuan Wei Xiu talked to Master Yuan Hui, Master Yuan Hui accepted Yuan Lang as his disciple.
Yuan Wei Xiu stayed at the Shao Lin Temple for a few days. He was relieved when he saw that Yuan Lang had adjusted to life at the Shao Lin Temple. Before he left, he talked to Yuan Lang. "Shao Lin Temple is the best place I can think of for you. Stay here. Even if someone from the Demon Sect comes, they can't easily take you away. You learn some skills from Master Yuan Hui. I'll be leaving."
"Protect my mother for me!" Yuan Lang suddenly said loudly. "Ten years, ten years later, I will protect my mother myself. But during this time, please take care of my mother! Don't let people hurt her. You can't either!"
Yuan Wei Xiu looked at Yuan Lang. Yuan Lang was not afraid and didn't avoid Yuan Wei Xiu's gaze.
After a long time, Yuan Wei Xiu nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will."
After they left Shao Lin Temple, Ou Yang Yi scratched his head, confused.
Yuan Wei Xiu glanced at him. "Just say it!"
"Master, isn't Yuan Lang too dependent on the madam?" Ou Yang Yi racked his brains to come up with a more neutral statement.
Yuan Wei Xiu was silent for a long time. "This is why I sent him to Shao Lin Temple." He also noticed Yuan Lang's heavy dependence on Su Su. After careful consideration, he decided to send him to Shao Lin Temple. It was not a surprise that Yuan Lang relied on Su Su a lot after all they had been through.
"But it isn't surprising that the madam is so beautiful and gentle. If I had such a mother, I would definitely depend on her," Ou Yang Yi said happily.
Yuan Wei Xiu thought about it and glanced at Ou Yang Yi. "Do you also like her?"
Ou Yang Yi smiled. He also hoped that he would have such a gentle and beautiful mother. However, the madam didn't seem to like him much. Forget it. Just having his master was enough.
"By the way, master, where shall we go next?" Ou Yang Yi asked with a smile.
"I plan to go back to You Yue valley and build a house outside of it. If you want to follow me, you can. If you want to head out and wander around, you can do that too," said Yuan Wei Xiu.
"Really, master? You'll let me travel alone?" said Ou Yang Yi excitedly. He had long wanted to travel the world with his sword, but his master said that he was still young and hadn't allowed it. His master was finally letting him go. How great!
"You can go if you want, but don't cause trouble! Protect yourself. Remember to tell master if you need anything," Yuan Wei Xiu said with a smile as he saw Ou Yang Yi's joy.
"I know, master. Thank you, master!" cheered Ou Yang Yi.
Yuan Wei Xiu looked at Ou Yang Yi with a smile. Their silhouettes spread out in the sunset.
In You Yue Valley, Li Su was talking to Master Qing Feng. "Wei Xiu said that Master Yuan Hui accepted Lang'er as a disciple. He also said that Lang'er was talented and that he has adapted well to the Shao Lin Temple."
Master Qing Feng was quite content. "Of course! Our Lang'er is very talented, unlike his mother!" After that, she glanced at Li Su.
Li Su also felt helpless. After a month, she still hadn't memorised a poison script. She couldn't help it. The text regarding the poison is obscure and difficult to understand. There were also problems with Master Qing Feng's manner of education. She was a person who had experienced being in an examination venue, but she still couldn't remember it. Not to mention, the original owner was a boudoir woman who had never left the house.
"Master!"
"Don't call me master. I've never seen someone so stupid. Lang'er only needed to use it for three days and he learned it. When you try, you couldn't even remember it after a month. If you are stupid, then forget it!" Master Qing Feng said.
Li Su looked pitiful and stood to the side, listening to Master Qing Feng's criticisms.
Master Qin Feng looked at her pitiful appearance and said angrily, "You! The only good thing about you is your face. Forget it. It is too late for you to learn. It is difficult. It's fine. Let your teacher give you some pointers about self-defence. Don't hurt yourself!"
"Thank you, master!" Li Su hurried over to help Master Qing Feng massage her back. "I knew that master is the best to me."
Master Qing Feng squinted. She enjoyed her disciple's courteous service.
That night, Li Su looked at the poison scripture under the light for a long time, but nothing stuck. She yawned. She was so sleepy.
"Why are you embarrassing yourself like this? Isn't it fine to stay by my side?" a voice called out from behind her. Then, a hand tapped Li Su's acupuncture point and Li Su fell into a generous embrace.
Jiang Rong embraced her from behind. "You are a smart woman. I don't believe that you didn't notice my intentions towards you. You knew, but you still ran away. How should I punish you!" Jiang Rong said, intoxicated, as he sniffed Li Su's neck.
Damn, why were there so many who were fascinated? Didn't You Yue Valley have many traps? How did Jiang Rong get in so easily? She remembered that Yuan Wei Xiu was able to enter and leave freely at Ling Yun Peak, so Li Su couldn't complain.
What should she do? Was she going to lose her integrity later? She came to this world on a mission, not to lose her life! Master, Yuan Wei Xiu, help! Or, someone, come save her! Li Su cried silently in her heart.
Chapter 89 – My Son is the Main Villain (part 9)
Perhaps God heard Li Su's internal cries, or maybe the system decided to do something about it.
Just as Jiang Rong was reaching out and walking shadily around Li Su, someone knocked on the door. "Madam, have you gone to bed? The Valley Master is looking for you."
Li Su's eyes lit up, but Jiang Rong's eyes darkened. Tonight, he had been impulsive. He snuck into You Yue Valley to confirm Li Su's whereabouts. He didn't expect that after he saw Li Su, he wouldn't be able to hold back.
However, now that he had found someone, Jiang Rong didn't plan to let her go anymore. He tore off the bed curtain and wrapped Li Su in it. He then took her into his arms and broke out.
The servant woman who knocked on the door screamed. Jiang Rong pulled out a hidden weapon and sliced the servant woman's neck, letting the servant woman fall.
Jiang Rong carried Li Su across the courtyard. He jumped over the wall and flew over the lake to leave You Yue Valley.
Li Su's eyes darkened when she saw they were about to leave You Yue Valley. She felt anxious, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't make a sound!
Li Su closed her eyes in despair. At this time, Master Qing Feng called out naturally, "How rude. How dare you come to my valley and cause trouble! Let go of my disciple!"
Li Su opened her eyes in surprise.
Jiang Rong frowned and looked at Master Qing Feng. Disciple? When did Li Su worship Master Qing Feng as a teacher?
"Who are you to dare to break into my You Yue Valley to kidnap someone?" Master Qing Feng stood there with the night breeze blowing her robe.
"He is the young master of the Guang Ming Sect, Jiang Rong." Yuan Wei Xiu finally rushed back at this critical moment.
"The young master of the Guang Ming Sect? So it is you!" Master Qing Feng laughed a lot. "Hahaha, did you forget the vow your father made at that time? If you put that person down, nothing will happen tonight!"
Jiang Rong's expression was solemn. His father had been injured before, and Master Qing Feng had rescued him.
This was why he quietly snuck into You Yue Valley. He didn't want to get into a direct conflict with Master Qing Feng. He was also fully prepared to retreat without disturbing Master Qing Feng but he didn't expect Yuan Wei Xiu to rush back and reveal his identity.
Jiang Rong had a solemn expression. With how the current situation was, it was impossible for him to take that person away. He looked down at the beautiful face of the woman in his arms. He still had time and he had patience.
Jiang Rong gently put Li Su down and whispered in her ear, "Wait for me." Then, he kissed Li Su suddenly before flying away!
Yuan Wei Xiu blushed and wanted to chase him, but Master Qing Feng stopped him. "Forget it. Go and see Su Su first."
Yuan Wei Xiu hurried forward and unblocked Li Su's acupuncture points. He then helped her up.
Li Su stood up and said, "Master, give me more □□… I will poison whoever dares to touch me again!"
Master Qing Feng had a sullen expression. "I think it's best for you to ruin your face!"
Li Su touched her face. "No, Lang'er will be angry. Master, you should hurry and give me more □□!"
Master Qing Feng shook her head helplessly. "Don't worry. He was exposed today and won't come back so soon. Tomorrow, I will have someone put a Drunken Celestial Vine1 around your place. If others come close to it, their limbs will weaken and they will faint."
"Master, is it possible for you to prepare some kind of medicine that can cover my skin so that anyone who touches me will be poisoned to death?" Li Su asked. She thought of the plots she had seen in previous TV series.
"If there is that kind of □□, then wouldn't it be invincible? Don't day dream!" Master Qing Feng stared.
Li Su was a little disappointed. So it wasn't possible? But, didn't they have these things in those TV series?
Yuan Wei Xiu was standing next to them. "Don't worry. I will live outside the valley and won't let anyone hurt you again."
Li Su was a little surprised. "What did you say?"
Yuan Wei Xiu said, seriously, "I will live outside You Yue Valley, protect you, and not let anyone hurt you again."
Li Su felt a little complicated. She knew that Yuan Wei Xiu was a person who did what he said, but she had never thought about reuniting with him. It wouldn't be fair to him. "You don't have to do this. I won't accept your affection!"
"This is just what I want to do. I don't need you to appreciate it. It is just to pay my debt to you and our son over the past years," said Yuan Wei Xiu as he stared at Li Su's face. Even if this woman no longer belonged to him, he didn't want to see her sad. Maybe he owed her in his previous life, so he would repay the debt in this life!
Yuan Wei Xiu laughed at himself.
Master Qing Feng rolled her eyes. They were making it seem as if her You Yue Valley was dangerous2. Wasn't tonight an accident? Didn't they see the young master of the Demon Sect run away in the end?
Forget it. She better not say anything. It was better to let the trouble die down.
Yuan Wei Xiu really set up a house outside You Yue Valley and lived there.
When Li Su saw this, she sighed. Yuan Wei Xiu was responsible for the tragedy surrounding her and Yuan Lang. But, now this Yuan Wei Xiu was completely different from before. Li Su didn't know how to face Yuan Wei Xiu. However, no matter what Yuan Wei Xiu did, Li Su didn't intend to reunite with him. In fact, Li Su had no interest in the love between men and women at all.
What she wanted to do now was complete the task so that her parents could be reborn and she could have the right to be a mother.
Moreover, Li Su always had a faint feeling in her heart. Even if Yuan Lang did not blacken, he and Ou Yang Yi would be on opposing sides sooner or later! As the male lead of the world, Ou Yang Yi had his own conditions, but Yuan Lang had lost the support of the Demon Sect, so his future achievements were still unknown. As her son, Li Su didn't want Yuan Lang to live in Ou Yang Yi's shadow.
Instead of being embarrassing, it was better to keep a distance now.
As for Yuan Wei Xiu, he was willing to atone for his sins like this. That was his choice. Nobody else had the right to interfere!
After Li Su thought it through, she no longer felt guilty. She then began to study the poison scripture so she could learn how to protect herself.
Time flew and in the blink of an eye, 5 years had passed. In the past 5 years, Li Su had stayed at You Yue Valley and hadn't left. Jiang Rong had bribed other people from across the lands to break into You Yue Valley to try and steal Li Su.
However, they died under Yuan Wei Xiu's sword. Even if someone managed to escape from Yuan Wei Xiu, they would die as soon as they entered the valley. There were □□ mechanisms all over the place, so they would die before they could even take 2 steps.
Jiang Rong was desperate, but he couldn't do anything. He even thought of killing Master Qing Feng or burning You Yue Valley down. However, Qiao Ying was still around, so he did not dare to act rashly.
Yuan Lang had stayed at the Shao Lin Temple to study. He occasionally came back to visit Li Su.
Ou Yang Yi had become famous across the lands. He had made a lot of friends, punished evil, helped good, robbed the rich, and helped the poor.
Li Su calculated the time. At this time, Shui Yi Yi had probably already appeared! It was just that Shui Yi Yi was under the pseudonym Shui Yi3 as a woman disguised as a man, so she was accompanying Ou Yang Yi as a man.
At this time, Li Su could not be bothered to understand the relationship between Ou Yang Yi and Shui Yi Yi, because Master Qing Feng had been poisoned and didn't have long to live.
The so-called doctors couldn't help. This poison was very strange. Even Master Qing Feng and Yuan Wei Xiu hadn't heard of it, let alone the unskilled Li Su.
Yuan Lang received a message from a flying pigeon, so he was already on his way back.
Yuan Wei Xiu was worried that this was a conspiracy by the Demon Sect, so he sent a message via flying pigeon to Ou Yang Yi.
"Master, blame me!" Li Su was vexed. If she had known earlier, then she would have disfigured her face and today's disaster could have been avoided.
Master Qing Feng's face had no colour and was as pale as paper. She was a bit surprised and looked at Li Su. "What are you thinking? Do you think I was poisoned by a ghost from the Demon Sect?"
Li Su and Yuan Wei Xiu lowered their heads. Apart from the Demon Sect, they couldn't think of anyone else who would be the culprit. Who would be able to poison Master Qing Feng without her knowing?
Master Qing Feng's eyes flashed with hate. "The poison is not from the Demon Sect. It is from that slut! But I won't lose. I have lived for forty more years than them! Where are they? There is immense hatred between us. I don't want to die together!"
Li Su was very surprised. How was this possible? Wasn't that slut dead for decades?
Yuan Wei Xiu knew something pertaining to this, but he also felt that it was unlikely.
Master Qing Feng glanced at them. "Why would I lie to you? Why do you think I haven't left You Yue Valley for so many years? It was because the snow silver fish in the deep pool in You Yue Valley can suppress the poison in my body."
"Master!" Was it not Jiang Rong? Li Su had some doubts.
Master Qing Feng rolled her eyes. "Don't take it so seriously. Do you really think that you are like Da Ji4, causing trouble for an entire country?"
"Master!" Li Su was embarrassed when she was reminded of this.
"How much longer until Lang'er arrives?" Master Qing Feng was not afraid of death. She was just worried that, after she died, Jiang Rong would continue his unscrupulous behaviour, then what would that idiot do? Lang'er was still a child. She hadn't seen him for a while so she didn't know how he was.
"It will probably be another ten days," Yuan Wei Xiu said.
Master Qing Feng was very optimistic. "Ten days? I can still hold on. Leave now. Don't bother me. I need to keep my spirits up and wait for Lang'er to come back."
Master, Lang'er is the most important thing in your heart, Li Su thought sadly.
Li Su and Yuan Wei Xiu left the room. Yuan Wei Xiu saw that Li Su's expression wasn't good. "Go back and rest. I'll stay here."
Li Su glanced at him. "I'm fine." Then, she thought for a bit. "Is what master said true?" Did her master's poisoning have nothing to do with her? Li Su couldn't be sure.
Yuan Wei Xiu thought for a while. "It should be true? I also listened to master. That concubine originally came from the western regions. Master Qing Feng was born to a medical family so ordinary poisons can't harm her. Moreover, Master Qing Feng has not been out of You Yue Valley in forty years."
Li Su knew that Yuan Wei Xiu wouldn't lie, so she was relieved. "What the □□ is it? It has been forty years and master can't solve it."
"The world is very big so it isn't a surprise there are things that remain a mystery. We are just a drop in the ocean," said Yuan Wei Xiu.
Li Su knew that he was trying to solve this, but he might have overestimated her sense of morality. Even if master was really poisoned by other means, she would still feel guilty and sad and blame herself. But, she would not hurt herself over it.
After all, for someone like her, the most important thing was herself. No, it was dealing with her kid! Otherwise, everything else was unimportant!

Yuan Lang and Ou Yang Yi returned.
The difference was that Yuan Lang returned alone. Ou Yang Yi was followed by a strange, fake man. Li Su knew that the fake man was Shui Yi Yi, under the pseudonym Shui Yi. She was described as a person who was bright like rosy clouds, intelligent, and cunning.
Because Shui Yi Yi dug up the original owner's ashes, Li Su had no good feelings towards Shui Yi Yi. It just so happened that Shui Yi Yi didn't like her since Li Su was prettier than her.
When Shui Yi Yi saw Ou Yang Yi bow to Li Su, the look directed at Li Su was poisonous.
Why should older brother Yi be respectful to this wanton slut?! Yuan Wei Xiu was older brother Yi's master and that was all. What about her!?
Although Yuan Lang was preoccupied with his reunion, he was still sensitive to Shui Yi's dislike for his mother. He looked at Ou Yang Yi and Shui Yi cautiously.
Master Qing Feng was very happy to see Yuan Lang and her spirits improved. She waved the others away and talked to Yuan Lang alone for a long time.
Then, all the people in the valley were gathered, and it was announced that Yuan Lang was to be the next heir to You Yue Valley. Everything in the valley would be inherited by Yuan Lang.
Except for Li Su, who had been mentally prepared, everyone else was surprised. Yuan Wei Xiu looked at Li Su. He thought that Master Qing Feng would give You Yue Valley to Su Su. He didn't expect that Su Su would be passed over and it would be handed to Yuan Lang instead.
Ou Yang Yi had no idea. He knew how much Master Qing Feng liked Yuan Lang.
Only Shui Yi Yi had jealous red eyes. Older brother Yi was simple and honest, so he didn't know what the Master of You Yue Valley meant to the people across the lands. Both the common people and the royal family all naturally respected doctors as they did not know when their lives would be in the hands of a doctor. Not to mention, Master Qing Feng was a famous genius doctor who has met people from all over the world. It was unknown how many people received her favour. This was a blessing! There were also many panaceas and medicines in You Yue Valley.
Older brother Yi was much better than Yuan Lang. Why did Master Qing Feng love that Yuan Lang so much?!
"A-Yi, what's the matter?" Ou Yang Yi noticed that the little brother's mood was not quite right, so he quietly pulled her outside to ask.
"Older brother Yi, you have to be careful of that mother and son! They aren't good people!" Shui Yi Yi frowned.
"Are you talking about Master Qing Feng and Yuan Lang?" Ou Yang Yi thought this was a little strange. "What's wrong with them? Why do I need to be careful?"
"Aiya, older brother Yi, why don't you understand? Think about it. Since that mother and son appeared, your master's affection was transferred to them. Obviously, your master and Master Qing Feng's attention was transferred to them. Your master and Master Qing Feng knew each other first, but Master Qing Feng passed over your master and older brother Yi, and instead passed You Yue Valley to Yuan Lang. Don't you think there is a problem here?" Shui Yi Yi said anxiously.
Ou Yang Yi looked at Shui Yi YI in surprise. "A-Yi, why do you think like this? You are thinking too much! Master feels that he owes Master Qing Feng and Yuan Lang. As for Master Qing Feng, she has a weird personality. I don't know why she likes Yuan Lang. But, Master Qing Feng is the master of You Yue Valley. It is her decision on who to pass You Yue Valley to. What qualifications do we have to question her? A-Yi, I know that you said this for my sake, but I hope you don't say such things in the future."
Shui Yi YI flushed with anger before she turned around and left!
Ou Yang Yi touched his head. What was wrong with A-Yi? What did he say wrong? But, he still followed her habitually.
After Master Qing Feng announced who would inherit You Yue Valley, the next issue to tackle was actually inheriting You Yue Valley. Li Su and Yuan Wei Xiu came back and happened to see this scene.
Yuan Wei Xiu's expression was solemn and a trace of dislike flashed through his eyes. He immediately glanced at Li Su. "Don't be angry. Yi'r is straightforward by nature and wouldn't harbour such thoughts."
Li Su glanced at him. "It doesn't matter what Ou Yang Yi thinks. It has nothing to do with me." Then, she turned around and went to the dining room. She had asked someone to prepare food. As Lang'er had hurried back, he definitely hadn't eaten.
Yuan Wei Xiu frowned. How did Yi'r know this impure girl? It seemed that he needed to have a good talk with Yi'r. Yes, Shui Yi had disguised herself as a man, but she could only hide it from Ou Yang Yi. Everyone else could tell.
On the other side, Ou Yang Yi coaxed Shui Yi. The two then walked back happily, but accidentally stepped on a trap. Ou Yang Yi was able to escape smoothly, but Shui Yi Yi's martial arts were only average. Fortunately, Ou Yang Yi was able to rescue her in time, but her leg was still injured by a poisoned arrow.
When Ou Yang Yi saw that Shui Yi Yi had been injured, he first sealed the acupuncture points on her leg. He took off her shoes and socks, then pressed his mouth against Shui Yi Yi's to feed her medicine. Unfortunately, it didn't have a great effect and Shui Yi YI's wound turned black and swollen.
Ou Yang Yi hurriedly ran back to Master Qing Feng holding Shui Yi to find an antidote, but Li Su stopped him at the door.
"My teacher is talking about the secrets of the valley. Others can't enter," said Li Su with a straight face.
"Madam, A-Yi is poisoned. Please help him!" Ou Yang Yi said nervously. Shui Yi Yi, who was being held in Ou Yang Yi's arms, saw his nervousness and her heart felt very sweet.
"Didn't I tell you earlier? There are traps all over the valley. You shouldn't run around, but you didn't listen!" Li Su said grimly. She then squatted down to check Shui Yi's wound. "Fortunately, it is just Qing Yun. You sealed her acupuncture points in time, otherwise if the poison had entered her lungs, then it would have been difficult to treat."
Li Su stood. "Go sit over there first. I will find the antidote."
Ou Yang Yi let out an 'ah'. Was the antidote not on her?
Li Su said angrily, "There are a total of one hundred and twenty mechanisms in the valley. There are more than two hundred and sixty □□. The antidotes and methods of each type are different. Do you think I will have these antidotes with me at any time?"
She then turned around to get the antidote.
Normally, Shui Yi Yi would have done all she could to catch up so she could investigate. Maybe she could have stolen a bit of □□. But, she was currently greedy for the warmth of Ou Yang Yi's arms. She had forgotten all about it. She even hoped that Li Su would take her time to return so that she could stay in older brother Yi's arms for longer.
Li Su took the antidote and put it on Shui Yi Yi. Soon, Shui Yi Yi's colour returned to normal.
Ou Yang Yi was dumbfounded. "That's amazing!"
Ou Yang Yi had released Shui Yi Yi, so Shui Yi Yi was a little sad, but her mind became clear. Yeah, You Yue Valley's medicine was really powerful. If older brother Yi became the valley master, then that would be great.
At this time, Master Qing Feng had finished explaining things to Yuan Lang. Yuan Lang then opened the door. "Mother, master wants to see you."
Shui Yi Yi followed prestige. She looked over at Yuan Lang with a sullen gaze. If Yuan Lang was dead…
Yuan Wei Xiu had been secretly observing Shui Yi Yi. When he saw Shui Yi Yi's eyes, his expression turned gloomy! Shui Yi Yi then looked around and happened to meet Yuan Wei Xiu's eyes. She paled in fright. She knew how important Yuan Wei Xiu was to older brother Yi. As long as Yuan Wei Xiu said something, older brother Yi would listen.
Shui Yi Yi panicked.
Ou Yang Yi sensed her panic and thought she was just worried about her wound. He comforted her. "A-Yi, don't worry. The medicine from You Yue Valley is very good. You'll be fine soon."
Yuan Wei Xui stood. "Yi'r, send Gentleman Shui to the guest room to rest. I have something to say to you."
Shui Yi Yi was nervous. "Older brother Yi!"
"It's okay. I'll take you to the guest room so you can rest first," Ou Yang Yi said. He held Shui Yi Yi. "A-Yi, you should really eat more food. You are too thin."
Shui Yi Yi was flustered, so she didn't notice the ridicule in Ou Yang Yi's words.
On the other side, Li Su and Yuan Lang entered the room.
Master Qing Feng's face was ruddy at this time. She was leaning on the soft pillow and watched Li Su enter. She smiled and said, "Su Su, do you blame master for passing the position of Valley Master to Lang'er instead of you?"
"Master, what are you talking about? I am very happy that you passed the position of Valley Master to Lang'er!" Li Su sat in front of the bed and held Master Qing Feng's hand.
"I once had a daughter. It was a pity. Because of my negligence, those two sluts killed her! Because that slut was pregnant, that man knelt before me and begged for me to forgive her and her child. But, when she killed my child, why didn't she think of her own life?! My Yu'r was just over a year old when she died. She had just called me mother. Now she is gone! Hahaha, I gave that slut medicine which was the most powerful abortion pill, therefore killing her child. Watching that slut roll in a pool of blood howling and seeing that man in pain made me so happy! I didn't intend to kill them. It was a life for a life. She killed my child so I let her child pay! But, that slut poisoned me when I was complacent. No matter how much I tortured her, she wouldn't give me the antidote. I was angry and killed the man in front of that slut, then killed her. I sprinkled one of their ashes on top of the snow-capped mountains, and the other one in the East China Sea! I didn't let them be together in life or death! I have not regretted it for so many years."
Master Qing Feng had said a lot. She took a breath. "But, Su Su, when I saw you and Lang'er, I regretted it. If I had gotten out in time when that man changed his heart, maybe my Yu'r wouldn't have had to die. If my Yu'r was still alive, then I could have been a grandmother at this time!" Tears fell from the corner of Master Qing Feng's eyes.
"Su Su, although you are outwardly weak, you are inwardly strong. In this regard, your master is not as good as you. Su Su, don't be deceived by men's sweet words. Keep your heart and your children!" Master Qing Feng became increasingly excited as she held Li Su's hand tightly.
Li Su's eyes were red. "Master, I will remember. Don't worry!"
"Master!" Yuan Lang knelt at the bedside.
Master Qing Feng gradually calmed down and blinked. "After I die, bury me under the irises over there. That was Yu'r's favourite words during her lifetime. My Yu'r was buried there. I couldn't protect her well when I was alive. After I die, I hope I can be with her."
"Yes, master. Don't worry. I know," Li Su said with red eyes.
Master Qing Feng nodded too much and slowly closed her eyes. She had said everything she needed to, so she could rest assured.
