Chapter 137 - Calm before the Storm (2/2)

Ling Chuxi quietly looked at this scene without saying a word. She did not think that Ling Yichen’s actions were wrong, as these three people were here to take their lives. It was impossible to just let them go and forgive them, just because they failed at their task.

They failed because their skills were not comparable to their targets. What if their trap had worked? Or if their cultivation was higher than hers or Ling Yichen’s? Then the corpses lying here would not be theirs anymore.

This world was indeed cruel and realistic.

Ling Chuxi let out a light breath as she raised her head to look at the darkening sky. Although she had long understood the cruelty of reality, a wave of exhaustion still arose in her heart. At this moment, she felt something damp and warm on her face. She was stunned. Only then did she realize that Little White had raised its head to lick her face, seemingly comforting her.

“Little White, I’m fine.”

Ling Chuxi suddenly felt a warmth in her heart. No matter what, Little White was always by her side, giving warmth to not just her body, but also to her heart.

Ling Yichen threw the dagger back onto the ground. “Let’s go quickly,” he said softly.

Ling Chuxi nodded. It was fine to leave these three corpses here. The dagger was their own, so it was not possible to investigate who had killed them. Sometimes, the court was more like a decoration. Because when a truly strong cultivator killed someone, the court practically had no way to deal with it.

That’s why people said that the strong are respected. It was because of things like this.

Ling Chuxi and Ling Yichen quickly left the alley. The two of them immediately rushed to the stage station and got into a carriage to make their trip to s.h.i.+ Qu Town.

By evening, they arrived at their destination. Not knowing whether it was a false intuition, Ling Chuxi kept feeling that s.h.i.+ Qu Town was oddly quiet at the moment. It was like the calm before the storm.
