Wandering Sword Seller's Life in the Qin Dynasty

"It's you who suddenly changed your attitude. It seems you're unwilling to reveal the truth yourself. There's nothing I can do but ask you to speak up."

"What do you want to do?" Upon hearing Xu Qing's words, Tian Mi immediately panicked.

Although she has been detained these days, the Zhu family and others have not kept the changes within the farmhouse from her.

Today Tian Meng is dead, tomorrow Tian Hu is dead, and the day after tomorrow their cronies will be purged.

These dead people were all people Tian Mi knew very well, and they were all members of the Tian clan.

Although she was a member of the Kuiwei Hall, she also came from the Tian clan and had been very close to the Tian brothers. Therefore, she knew all of these people.

The successive deaths of these people filled Tian Mi with fear and unease.

Xu Qing didn't say how she would be dealt with, but since all these people were dead, wouldn't she be next?

Xu Qing's words immediately brought Tian Mi's fear to its peak.

So she looked at Wu Kuang again. Although she didn't know how Wu Kuang had survived, and even though her poison needle back then was ruthless and deadly, she still had a sliver of hope that Wu Kuang might not know the truth of what happened back then.

After all, he had acted very discreetly back then in order to frame Chen Sheng.

"My husband, save me, my husband!"

Tian Mi repeatedly pleaded for help from Wu Kuang.

However, Wu Kuang only frowned slightly, but remained unmoved.

Over the years, he had actually thought about it and, considering who benefited the most after he and Chen Sheng left the farm, he had some guesses in his mind.

Having met Tian Mi today, and considering Xu Qing's ambiguous words, the answer is already quite clear.

Rather than rescuing Tian Mi, he wanted to hear what Tian Mi had to say.

However, it's obvious that Tian Mi wouldn't tell.

If Wu Kuang didn't know the truth, she would still have a sliver of hope; otherwise, if he revealed the truth, she would surely die.

Seeing Wu Kuang hesitate, Tian Mi stopped pleading with him and instead resorted to provocation, verbally abusing him, "Wu Kuang, are you even a man? You see your woman being bullied and you're completely indifferent!"

You are truly despicable!

Various words came out of Tian Mi's mouth one after another.

In Tian Mi's mind, as long as Wu Kuang still had any backbone and was still a man, he would definitely take action.

Surprisingly, Wu Kuang still did not move.

Having died once, Wu Kuang's temperament became more composed than before. Especially within the Luo Wang organization, he was walking on thin ice. If he was not careful, his identity would be exposed, which could bring disaster upon him. Of course, he would not get emotional because of a mere provocation.

"Noisy!"

Xu Qing, on the other hand, was getting impatient with Tian Mi's foul language.

He opened his mouth, and Tian Mi's words immediately stopped.

Immediately afterward, under the watchful eyes of Zhu Jia and Wu Kuang, Xu Qing slowly raised a finger, and a small blue flame immediately burst forth from its fingertip. The flame flickered, and although it was very weak, it was captivating and made people unable to help but stare at it.

The same applies to Zhu Jia and Wu Kuang, as well as Tian Mi, who is a key target of Xu Qing.

Upon seeing this flame, Tian Mi's eyes quickly became vacant.

She collapsed to the ground, becoming silent.

Having finally managed to tolerate Tian Mi's foul language, her sudden silence was rather unusual.

Xu Qing approached, looked at the dazed Tian Mi, and said calmly, "I ask, you answer!"

At this moment, Tian Mi has been manipulated by Xu Qing's illusion magic. As long as Xu Qing is willing, he can do whatever he wants to Tian Mi.

Given that Wu Kuang is Tian Mi's husband, could this be considered a form of pre-marital infidelity?

However, before Wu Kuang and the others could even think of this, Xu Qing's first question was explosive enough to draw all of Wu Kuang's attention.

Why did you plot to murder Wu Kuang back then?

Upon hearing this question, Wu Kuang's gaze sharpened.

The Zhu family then thought of the scandal of Kuiwei Hall in the past.

Years ago, Chen Sheng, coveting Tian Mi's beauty, plotted to murder Wu Kuang. Chen Sheng was subsequently caught red-handed by Tian Meng and others and sentenced to be drowned in a pond. Zhu Jia, realizing the unusual nature of the situation, chose to let Chen Sheng go and secretly helped him escape from the farm.

As for where Chen Sheng went after he left, the Zhu family had no idea.

Now, combining Xu Qing's words with the story of Wu Kuang's resurrection, the Zhu family had their answer.

Sure enough, there was more to the story than met the eye back then, and Tian Mi was one of the people who knew the truth.

While the others pondered, Tian Mi also provided her answer. After being hypnotized by Xu Qing using special methods, her tone was devoid of any emotion, "Isn't it because Wu Kuang betrayed me first?"

"As a member of the Tian clan and his wife, all I want is to gain a high position in the Kuiwei Hall!"

"But he refused to allow me to get involved in the affairs of the Kuiwei Hall because I was a woman!"

"So you secretly tried to kill him?" Xu Qing asked Tian Mi again.

“What he can’t give me, Tian Meng can.” Tian Mi spoke again, uttering words that had been buried in her heart for many years.

"What exactly did Tian Meng promise you?" Upon hearing this, Wu Kuang couldn't stand it any longer and asked Tian Mi.

Fortunately, Xu Qing's illusion only put Tian Mi in a state where she could answer any question; who was asking the questions was not so important.

"Tian Meng promised me that once the matter is settled, the position of the head of the Kuiwei Hall will be mine."

"In the end, he was also a good-for-nothing, actually watching helplessly as the position of the leader of the Kuiwei Hall fell into the hands of that brute, Big Iron Hammer!"

It is clear that Tian Mi harbors a deep prejudice against Tian Meng, and even at this moment, she does not forget to express her contempt for Tian Meng, who is already dead.

"Tell me what you did back then!"

Xu Qing asserted his authority and then asked Tian Mi, lest Wu Kuang ask for a long time without getting any crucial details.

Tian Mi still used that emotionless voice to recount the details of what happened back then.

Years ago, Tian Mi deliberately drugged Chen Sheng, causing him to enter the wrong room. He then called for help in time, and Wu Kuang arrived just in time. Tian Mi claimed that Chen Sheng had assaulted her, sowing discord between the two brothers. When the two brothers attacked, she secretly used a poisoned needle to kill Wu Kuang, causing him to react too slowly and be wounded by Chen Sheng's sword. Afterward, Tian Meng and others arrived in time to solidify the case, completely branding Chen Sheng as a criminal.

Chapter 308 The Sword Seeker of the Human Sect!

"You bitch!!"

Upon learning the truth, Wu Kuang flew into a rage.

Everything fits together.

Back then, he heard his wife's cry for help and rushed over. He saw Chen Sheng and his wife in a room together, and his wife's clothes were disheveled. He was blinded by anger and did not want to think. Tian Mi added fuel to the fire, saying that Chen Sheng intended to humiliate her. So he decisively took action and fought with Chen Sheng.

Under normal circumstances, given the brotherhood between him and Chen Sheng, after a fight, both of them would be exhausted and their anger would have dissipated, making it easy to explain things clearly afterwards.

As a result, before that time could come, a poisoned needle made things completely irreversible.

The poisoned needle landed precisely on Wu Kuang.

At that time, his brother Chen Sheng was in front of him, and his wife Tian Mi was to his side.

Because Chen Sheng intended to humiliate his wife, she naturally chose to believe her and assumed that the poisoned needle was Chen Sheng's doing. Therefore, she used a ruthless attack, which forced Chen Sheng to fight back with all his might and swing his sword.

However, he never expected that such behavior would plunge his brother Chen Sheng into an abyss of no return.

They stood by and watched as he humiliated his sister-in-law and harmed his fellow disciples.

Later, after faking his death and escaping, Wu Kuang kept recalling the details of what happened back then.

The more I thought about it, the more something seemed off.

Unfortunately, by then, Chen Sheng had already fled the peasant family and his whereabouts were unknown. Even if he wanted to find the person involved, it would be impossible. As for the peasant family, he chose to believe the chivalrous leader at the time, firmly believing that the chivalrous leader would find out the truth for him. Therefore, he did not think of returning to the peasant family to avoid causing trouble for the chivalrous leader.

Unexpectedly, not only did they fail to find Chen Sheng's whereabouts, but the chivalrous leader also died.

However, he still learned the truth.

The truth is that his wife, Tian Mi, with whom he shared a bed, conspired with Tian Meng and others to murder him for power and the position of leader of the Kuiwei Hall.

Of course, he still had some questions.

What, then, was Tian Meng's motive?

In critical moments, we still have to rely on Xu Qing.

Now that Xu Qing has brought Wu Kuang here and let him learn the truth from Tian Mi, it's impossible for him to leave in such a daze.

He began, adding some details, "...Years ago, your chivalrous leader Tian Guang had a grand plan. What that plan was, we won't say for now, but in short, for that plan, and for the continuation of the farming family's legacy, he selected two candidate successors."

"One is Tian Meng, who comes from the Tian clan and is a core member of its direct lineage. The Tian clan has a huge influence in the peasant school, so it is not surprising that he is a candidate. The other candidate is Chen Sheng. Chen Sheng grew up in a peasant family. Although he is not of the same surname, he is brave and resourceful and is also a core disciple of the peasant school."

"It's unclear whether Tian Guang was biased or if he genuinely favored Chen Sheng. On the contrary, Tian Meng probably couldn't see any hope of becoming the heir of the peasant family, so he harbored malicious intentions."

"He thought that as long as Chen Sheng was gone, he could become the sole heir!"

"Unfortunately, he overlooked one thing: Tian Guang probably never intended for Tian Meng to inherit the Farmer's Family from the very beginning. Even without Chen Sheng, he could not have been the sole heir..."

Xu Qing didn't say anything more.

But both Wu Kuang and the Zhu family have already understood the whole story.

"This woman is yours to deal with!"

Xu Qing said something to Wu Kuang, then left dejectedly.

Zhu Jia glanced in the direction Xu Qing had left, wanting to say something, but ultimately remained silent. Of course, he didn't leave either.

He wanted to see Wu Kuang deal with Tian Mi with his own eyes.

If Wu Kuang can't bring himself to do it, he wouldn't mind helping Wu Kuang with this favor.

However, it was clear that Wu Kuang was still capable of doing it.

Over the years, Wu Kuang has been a member of the Luo Wang organization, becoming a Luo Wang assassin. Killing is nothing more than commonplace for him.

Although Tian Mi was indeed his first wife, after learning about what Tian Mi had done in the past, Wu Kuang felt only a deep and extreme hatred for her.

Tian Mi was eventually killed by Wu Kuang.

Wu Kuang didn't torture her slowly; instead, he gave her a quick death with a single sword strike.

Therefore, Wu Kuang did feel a bit of pity.

Such a woman should actually be allowed to suffer greatly before dying; death would be a relief for her.
