Chapter 53: The Death of Su Shan

His fingers moved slightly, triggering the hidden mechanism strapped to his left hand. A silent sleeve arrow shot out, striking the man squarely in the chest.

The man tumbled from mid-air. After Lian Li estimated that the person was either dead or had lost all combat capability, he turned his head to look at Yun Huizhou.

Seeing him deal with his opponent so cleanly and decisively, Yun Huizhou let another person through the perimeter.

Lian Li: “!!!”

Though startled, he still raised his whip and charged forward.

However, the group of people Yun Huizhou had corralled and was beating down had long since developed the urge to retreat.

The moment Yun Huizhou let someone go, that person immediately prepared to flee.

Lian Li hurriedly gave chase. After exchanging blows for a good while, he still failed to intercept the man and let him escape.

On the other side, Su Shan also wanted to withdraw. Master Su and Su Jun moved to intercept him, yet it still appeared very taxing. Master Su was even nearly injured by Su Shan several times.

Meanwhile, Su Jun was already wounded.

Yun Huizhou drew his blade and turned to slash at Su Shan. Su Shan could not dodge it at all; with a miserable shriek, he collapsed to the ground.

Yun Huizhou did not take his life, merely tossing him to Su Jun and Master Su to handle.

As for the few people fighting Yun Huizhou, they took the opportunity to slip away while he was attacking Su Shan.

Yun Huizhou glanced at them but did not block their path. Lian Li tried to intercept them, but he discovered that although Yun Huizhou beat them as easily as if they were younger brothers, those people still posed a significant threat to him.

Thus, he immediately withdrew his hand and returned to Yun Huizhou’s side, standing there obediently.

Su Jun and the others had no time to look at anyone else now. They stood guard over Su Shan, fearing he might run away again.

Su Shan looked at them hatefully, his eyes filled with unmasked malice.

Lian Li turned to glance at him and found that Su Shan wasn’t just looking at Su Jun and the others with malice; even he and Yun Huizhou were within the scope of Su Shan’s hatred.

Lian Li frowned. However, he realized that if Yun Huizhou hadn’t intervened, this raid would have definitely dealt a massive blow to the Su family.

Su Shan really might have gotten his wish, so there truly was a reason for Su Shan to hate Yun Huizhou.

It was just that human hearts are naturally biased. Setting aside the fact that Su Shan wasn’t a good person to begin with, even if he were, Lian Li would still be biased toward Yun Huizhou.

Su Jun also saw Su Shan’s gaze. With a quick movement, he directly blocked Su Shan’s view of Lian Li and Yun Huizhou. He called for the servants to bring rope, intending to tie Su Shan up.

Just as they were waiting for the servants to bring the rope, Su Shan spoke.

He laughed loudly and crazily, his words dripping with thick malice.

“Hahahaha! You two are actually helping the Su family guard that piece of trash? You don’t really want to marry Su Fu, do you? That woman was played out by me long ago. I originally intended to marry her to give her a way to live, but now there’s no need.”

The moment these words left his mouth, Su Jun flew into a violent rage. He kicked Su Shan in the chest and roared, “Do not speak such nonsense to ruin my sister’s reputation! My sister is pure and innocent. You scoundrel, you couldn’t have my sister so you want to destroy her!”

Lian Li was also shocked by Su Shan’s shamelessness. Damn, this piece of trash couldn’t possibly think that they would believe his words and think less of Miss Su, could he?

Based on his understanding of Yun Huizhou, Yun Huizhou wouldn’t take it to heart at all. If it was a lie, it was a lie; even if it were true, he wouldn’t think poorly of Miss Su.

As for himself, he was a modern youth of the twenty-first century; it was even more impossible for him to share the same mindset as a scumbag like Su Shan. Who would ever empathize with the perpetrator?

Miss Su had really suffered eight lifetimes of bad luck to have rescued such a person back then.

Su Shan was still laughing, muttering foul and indecent words. Things like how fair Miss Su was, or what kind of reaction Miss Su had.

Master Su was so angry he was on the verge of fainting, and Su Jun’s hands were trembling with rage.

Lian Li’s face turned red with anger. He wrapped his whip around his waist, picked up a brick from the ground at random, and rushed over.

Thwack! It slammed right onto Su Shan’s forehead, leaving him with a bleeding head and finally making him shut his mouth momentarily.

After a short while, Su Shan recovered. As soon as he opened his mouth to speak again, Lian Li slammed the brick onto Su Shan’s mouth.

Su Shan’s mouth was full of blood, several of his teeth had been knocked out by Lian Li, and even his nose had been flattened.

At this point, Yun Huizhou finally deigned to give Su Shan a glance, then said to Su Jun, “Just kill this kind of person. Why bother tying him up? Are you planning to keep him for the New Year?”

Hearing this, Lian Li whipped out the small dagger hidden on his person. After this ordeal, if Su Shan were allowed to leave alive, god knows what kind of stories he would make up about Miss Su outside.

However, someone was faster than him—it was Su Jun. He thrust his sword directly through Su Shan’s chest.

Until the moment he died, Su Shan stared at the four of them with a face full of resentment and poison.

Even though he was already a corpse, he still had that expression. Lian Li felt his skin crawl. With a flick of his whip, he flipped the hem of Su Shan’s clothes up to cover the man’s face.

“How unlucky,” Lian Li whispered.

With Su Shan dead, Lian Li was unwilling to stay here with a corpse any longer, not to mention the other two killed by Yun Huizhou and the one Lian Li had shot with the hidden mechanism who had now also stopped breathing.

The two of them spoke to Su Jun and Master Su before preparing to return to their own courtyard.

After entering the courtyard, Lian Li walked inside while massaging his shoulders, looking extremely exhausted.

Yun Huizhou walked beside him and suddenly asked, “Are you afraid?”

Lian Li paused, knowing Yun Huizhou was asking if he was afraid of killing someone alone for the first time. He shook his head and said, “I’m not afraid.”

Since the incident at the ruined temple, he knew what kind of world he had come to. Besides, when they killed Feng Man before, Yun Huizhou had already guided him once.

During the following year on Drunken Dream Island, he had been mentally preparing himself.

When this moment actually arrived, to be honest, his heart was quite calm. It might also be related to the fact that he had spent so much time in the hospital in his previous life and had seen many people die before his eyes.

He felt no fear toward corpses.

“Mm, that’s good.” After Yun Huizhou said that, he grabbed Lian Li by the back of his collar.

Lian Li: “What are you doing?”

Yun Huizhou grinned wickedly. “I haven’t settled the score with you for pinching my butt earlier.”

Lian Li argued loudly, “You brought that on yourself! Who told you to hit my butt with your scabbard first? I was just taking legitimate revenge!”

Yun Huizhou ignored his explanation and hauled him toward the room.

Lian Li struggled, saying, “You’re being completely unreasonable! You’re just being difficult!”

Yun Huizhou easily suppressed his resistance and said, “I am the reason. If you want to talk reason with me, wait until you can beat me in a fight.”

After bringing him into the room, Yun Huizhou tossed Lian Li onto the bed. Lian Li saw an opportunity and tried to run out, but he was caught and pinned across Yun Huizhou’s knees.

Lian Li had a bad feeling. Sure enough, in the next second—

Smack!

Yun Huizhou slapped his butt and said, “You pinched me, didn’t you?”

“Aaaaah! Yun Huizhou, I’m going to fight you to the death!”
