I don't know if it's karma or retribution.
Lin Zhu saw a smile on his face, as if he was quite satisfied with his current life.
When Murong Qiudi saw Xie Xiaofeng now, she felt it was surreal and could hardly believe her eyes.
Is this really the genius swordsmanship master, the third young master of Shenjian Manor?
He was dressed in tattered hemp clothes and trousers, driving a donkey cart, and his whole body reeked of a foul stench.
She could never have imagined that she would see Xie Xiaofeng again under these circumstances.
Xie Xiaofeng noticed the two people at the village entrance; he recognized them both.
He would feel a little embarrassed when he saw Lin Zhu.
He also knew about the Heavenly Beauty List, so of course he knew Lin Zhu's true gender, and he felt that he was quite ridiculous back then.
But after seeing Murong Qiudi, he became somewhat worried.
This woman is definitely here for revenge.
With Lin Zhu by his side, he felt even less confident.
In the past few years, he has not cultivated, and his skill level remains at the Grandmaster stage.
As for his cultivation level, he hadn't practiced swordsmanship for a long time, so he didn't know if his cultivation level was still there.
Perhaps it is, perhaps it isn't.
I've never done it before, so I don't know!
He pretended not to see the two of them, and drove the donkey cart back to the village.
"Is it him?" Murong Qiudi looked at Lin Zhu with a puzzled expression. This was so different from what she had imagined.
Lin Zhu nodded. "When I met him two years ago, he was already like this, even worse than he is now. He said he wanted to live a normal life now."
Murong Qiudi chuckled, "I want to live the life of an ordinary person."
The laughter carried a hint of sorrow and anger.
She didn't want Xie Xiaofeng to get his way after he had ruined her like this.
"I'm going to have a look."
The two entered the village.
The village was only so big, and Lin Zhu and Murong Qiudi's clothes and demeanor seemed out of place in the village.
They dared not approach the two men, fearing they might offend the important figures.
Soon, someone notified the village elders.
"This humble old man greets you two distinguished guests. I was unaware of your presence and have failed to welcome you properly."
Although the elder was speaking, he did not dare to look at the two of them, keeping his head down and his back bent, showing great humility.
Apart from the children, no one in the entire village dared to raise their head.
Seeing this situation, Lin Zhu felt uneasy.
"Elder, please don't stand on ceremony. How about you take us to Aji's house?"
Only then did the clan elder dare to look up at Lin Zhu, and then he was stunned. "Benefactor, you are my benefactor? This old man pays his respects to my benefactor!"
Overjoyed, he was about to kneel down.
Lin Zhu exhaled his true essence, preventing him from kneeling down. "It's just a small matter. Elder, please get up and take us there."
As they were talking, some of the indigenous people still remembered Lin Zhu. Although a long time had passed, it would be hard for them to forget Lin Zhu's appearance.
Lin Zhu helped the clan elder up, but all the villagers knelt down.
"My benefactor, I pay my respects to my benefactor!"
Lin Zhu sighed helplessly, "Get up, all of you. My coming here this time might not be a good thing!"
At Aji's home, his wife was holding a baby and watching Aji eat breakfast, her face full of happiness.
Hearing the commotion outside, her eyes lit up. "Is that the benefactor from two years ago? I haven't met him yet."
"Don't go out. No matter what noise you hear later, don't go out." Aji took out a sword token from his pocket. "This is for the child. Don't lose it. If I don't come back, take the child to Divine Sword Manor."
His wife's surname was Jiang, but she did not have a given name.
But the villagers all called her Liniang, which means beautiful girl.
Jiang Liniang looked at Aji, a bad feeling creeping into her heart. "Husband, are they here to cause you trouble?"
Aji smiled and shook his head, "It's alright, don't worry."
Then he reached out and touched his son's face, saying, "It's not necessarily going to be a problem."
He comforted his wife, went to the courtyard, took a shower with cold water, then used his internal energy to evaporate the water before opening the door and going out.
Lin Zhu and Murong Qiudi were already waiting there.
Lin Zhu had sensed three presences in the courtyard, two large and one small, the small one being an infant, and therefore stopped Murong Qiudi from entering.
"He will come out."
Chapter 388 Mouth Substitute
Aji came out and said to Lin Zhu and Murong Qiudi, "Come with me."
He didn't intend to let his blood splatter in this village.
Lin Zhu and Murong Qiudi followed.
Inside the room, the baby seemed to sense something and started crying loudly.
Upon hearing this, Murong Qiudi's heart clenched, and she coldly asked, "Your child?"
Aji did not deny it.
Murong Qiudi wanted to say something, but then stopped herself.
But Lin Zhu didn't have so many concerns. "She also had a child for you, named Xie Xiaodi."
Aji paused, feeling complicated. He looked at Murong Qiudi with a look of guilt in his eyes.
Murong Qiudi met his gaze and saw his eyes, but she gave a sad smile. This man had never taken her seriously.
At the same time, she was annoyed by Lin Zhu for talking so much.
He turned to glare at Lin Zhu.
Lin Zhu looked over, her eyes conveying a message: 'If you can't say it yourself, I'll say it for you!'
Seeing that look, she looked away again, and another image of Murong Qiudi flashed through her mind, frantically slapping herself, 'Wake up!'
The three of them unknowingly arrived outside the village, where it was quiet and deserted.
Aji looked at Murong Qiudi and said, "I'm sorry, but it has nothing to do with anyone else. Go ahead and do it."
Having said that, he closed his eyes and awaited death.
Since marrying Jiang Liniang, he felt he had been redeemed.
But now, he wants to redeem another woman whose eyes are blinded by hatred.
Murong Qiudi produced a sword and was about to stab Aji in the chest, but she couldn't manage to stab him for a long time.
Lin Zhu stood to the side, peeling almonds with both hands.
This is a snack that Chen Bangling casually stir-fried, inspired by Lin Zhu, and it tastes great.
The only problem is that the sound of peeling the shell is a bit loud.
Seeing that Murong Qiudi didn't stab, he said, "Stab! Why don't you stab?"
His actions calmed Murong Qiudi's desire to kill Xie Xiaofeng somewhat, and she glared at him angrily.
Aji was speechless. He was prepared to die, so was this guy crazy?
"Get out of my way!"
For the first time in real life, Murong Qiudi displayed the emotions she had shown in the group chat, her expression one of great anger.
Aji, equally vulnerable, looked at Lin Zhu as if to say, 'So you're going to watch the show if I die?'
Lin Zhu coughed twice. "I think if you don't want to kill him, then you should talk things out. If you don't talk things out, killing him will be no different from not killing him at all."
Murong Qiudi's emotions exploded at this moment, "Four years, I waited for him for four years, do you know how I spent these four years?"
"Tell me, how am I supposed to know if you don't tell me? How is he supposed to know?"
Lin Zhu looked at Murong Qiudi with a serious expression, her tone devoid of emotion.
Murong Qiudi felt like she was going crazy. "You don't understand, you'll never understand."
“I understand,” Aji, or rather Xie Xiaofeng at this moment, spoke. “I’m sorry for what I did to you. I’ll let you do whatever you want with me.”
"Hahaha, you understand? You understand nothing!" Murong Qiudi came from the Murong family of Qixingtang. She was a well-bred young lady. If she wasn't extremely angry, why would she use such vulgar language?
Xie Xiaofeng was somewhat taken aback, but quickly understood. He remained silent, waiting for Murong Qiudi to pour out her emotions.
"Back then, I broke my engagement for you, and my parents fell ill from worry. And what awaited me then? Your heartless abandonment. What did you take me for?"
Lin Zhu: "Watch your image, you're spitting out saliva."
Murong Qiudi turned her head, her anger successfully diverted, and no longer cared whether Lin Zhu looked good or not, "Ahhh, I'll kill you first."
Having said that, he drew his sword and charged, not caring whether he could defeat Lin Zhu.
Xie Xiaofeng, however, could not stand by and watch Murong Qiudi court death. He used his hand as a sword and struck Murong Qiudi's pressure points.
Murong Qiudi looked incredulous. "You two are in cahoots?"
"Haha, you're only finding out now!" Lin Zhu said deliberately.
Xie Xiaofeng was truly speechless. "Young Master Lin, please stop causing trouble."
In his limited experience, he had never seen anything like Lin Zhu. She looked gentle and refined, but gave people the feeling of being crazy.
"Alright, alright, I'll stop teasing you." Lin Zhu stepped forward and released Murong Qiudi's pressure points. "Are you feeling better now?"
