Chapter 39: Qin Yu was the murderer (2/2)

Looking at the state of the butler, Lu Jing guessed that the situation might be slightly problematic. He might have messed with someone he shouldn’t have messed with. Even so, it was nothing much. Even if the Lu Family was not influential enough to settle the problem, they still had the Qin Family backing them up. They were emboldened by the support from the Qin Family.

The butler stomped as he ground his teeth and spat out the truth. “Master, Young Master was… was killed by someone!”

“He killed someone? So be it then. Hmm? What did you just say?! He’s been killed?!” Lu Jing responded and abruptly stood up. His voice was loud, causing those in his vicinity to cast sidelong glances at him in succession.

He initially thought that Lu Wubao killed someone else—which was a normal thing for him to do—but it never occurred to him that Lu Wubao would actually be the one killed by someone else.

The butler responded woefully, “Yes Master, Young Master was killed in the tea house. His body is still over there.”

Lu Jing grabbed the butler fiercely as he shouted savagely, “Who the hell dared to kill my son?! If you dare to spew nonsense, I will skin you alive!” The butler was so afraid that he trembled all over.

Lu Wubao was his only son! If he died then Lu Jing would have no descendants. Furthermore, he got his position as the head of the family using dishonorable means, otherwise, a man like him who wasn’t even in the Transformation Realm would’ve never been in line for the position.

Now that he had lost his descendant, there was no one he could pass on his position to. His supporters would definitely waver.

As the saying goes: a change of sovereign brings a change of ministers. The same applied to a family. If the master had no descendants to continue his rule, years later someone else of a different bloodline would become the head of the family. Those who were secretly against Lu Jing might begin to oppose him outright. If they took over his position, there wouldn’t be a good outcome for Lu Jing’s loyal supporters.

The butler began to sob out of fear. “Master, how would I… how would I dare to lie to you? Even if you give me a hundred guts, I wouldn’t dare to!”

Qin Chong and Qin Biao rushed forward to stop Lu Jing.

Qin Chong remained level-headed as he persuaded in a calm manner, “Master Lu, don’t be agitated. Let’s go over to take a look at the scene.”

“Qin Biao, follow Master Lu to take a look. I’ll overlook this area.”

Qin Biao walked over immediately as he spoke with resentment and hatred. “Yes, Second Uncle.”

“Master Lu, let’s go over to the scene and see who had the guts to kill my nephew Wubao. I, Qin Biao, will be the first to tear his corpse into pieces!”

“Okay, let’s go.” Lu Jing emitted a deadly aura as he brought his men with him and left in an aggressive manner.

With so much happening over there, those at the spectator stand those who had heard and seen everything that had happened were shocked.

To kill Lu Wubao, one of the Four Evil Masters, was doing a service for the people by eradicating evil. Which God or Saint killed him? That person was quite courageous, after all, murdering Lu Wubao was equivalent to messing with the Qin and Lu Family. Very few in Luosang City would dare to upset both families at the same time due to their great influence.

In fact, the killer of Lu Wubao was in the crowd. Qin Yu looked at Lu Jing and the others who left in anger as he smirked coldly, the corners of his mouth turning up.

Lu Wubao was killed by him. So what?

Lu Jing and his companions had no idea that the killer was hidden amongst the crowd and was Qin Yu, the very person they into the Forbidden Area of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain. To them, Qin Yu was already dead.

The group went forth with great vigor as they stormed into the tea house.

Upstairs, the crime scene was well-preserved since no one dared to touch or move anything. The people from the Lu Family had surrounded the place. The waiters and the owner of the tea house who was controlled by the Lu Family were currently shaking with fear.

“Wubao, my son!” The moment when Lu Jing saw Lu Wubao’s corpse, it was as if he got struck by lightning and that the sky had fallen onto him. He threw himself onto Lu Wubao’s corpse and burst into tears. Everyone knew how much he spoiled his son. Lu Wubao was his future. Now that he suddenly became a cold, lifeless corpse and caused Lu Jing to have no descendants, Lu Jing had lost his hope and future. How could he accept this?

“Master Lu, please restrain yourself!” Qin Biao seemed heartstricken as well, however, he was actually elated on the inside.

Lu Wubao’s death caused Lu Jing to have no descendants, so he would rely on the Qin Family even more.

Most importantly, Qin Zhao could now have the Golden Silk Armor for himself and wouldn’t need to return it. This was because the Golden Silk Armor Qin Zhao was wearing belonged to Lu Wubao, so he was only borrowing it for the competition.

Plus, with Lu Wubao’s death, Lu Jing could only place his hopes onto Lu Wushuang. When she married Qin Zhao, it would be equivalent to marrying the entire Lu Family to Qin Zhao. At that time, it would be extremely easy to control the Lu Family.

After calculating the benefits brought by Lu Wubao’s death, Qin Biao wanted to find somewhere with no prying eyes to laugh out loudly.

“Who? Who killed my son?! I am going to shred his corpse into pieces and eradicate three generations of his family! Argh!!!” Lu Jing raised his head as he howled while hugging Lu Wubao’s corpse. The entire tea house seemed to shiver as he howled.

“Master, it was… it was Qin Yu!” the butler replied in between sobs.

“Qin Yu, you bastard, I will wipe out your entire family!” Lu Jing continued howling like a lunatic.

“Wait!” Qin Biao suddenly stopped them. Lu Jing was overwhelmed by anguish and failed to identify the problem, however, Qin Biao caught on.

“What did you just say? The murderer is Qin Yu? Isn’t Qin Yu dead? Which Qin Yu are you talking about?”
