Chapter 133 – Foolish Kindness (2/2)
He knew Tang Tian so well that he could hear this rascal was serious.
Damn it!
Bing cursed. Was this rascal out of his mind?
He had no chance of winning. Instead, the chances of him dying in that battle were more than 90 percent. What was the point of that?
In the darkness, the shadow right in front of him was more stubborn than ever.

When Gu Xue saw the ruins of the courtyard, her heart sank. This was her home. There were precious memories. Mu Lei’s gaze was strong enough he could kill. He suddenly remembered, when he entered the city gates, the looks on the soldiers’ faces were weird.
“Let’s pack up.” Gu Xue calmed down and said lightly: “Let’s make out a place and let everybody rest.”
Mu Lei nodded and started to clean the ruins in silence.
They thought the situation would be bad, but they never thought it would be this bad. The opponent had openly destroyed this place, it was enough to see how barbarous he was.
They could imagine that when tomorrow came and they waited for an attack, they would be suppressed under a mountain. For the opponent to destroy things like this, that meant that they were confident of themselves.
Not knowing when, it had started snowing.
Ah Bi Li casually found a few wooden blocks from the ruins and started a fire. Everyone gathered around the fire. The atmosphere was bleak.
Gu Xue on the contrary was very calm and peaceful. She looked up into the sky and extended her hands and caught a piece of snowflake. She muttered: “I remember when I was younger, father would always build a snowman with me when it snowed. Today, it snowed again, it must be my father in heaven who is afraid of me being lonely.”
Mu Lei’s eyes turned red. He clenched his fist tightly.
Gu Xue kept her gaze and sat down on the grown. Even now, she did not look as if she was in a sorry state. It was like she was not even sitting on a pile of mud. Instead, she sat gently on a comfortable leather chair.
The blue and white long skirt looked like a vast sky and clouds.
She bent all of a sudden and started bowed down seriously: “Thank you everyone for bringing me here.”
“All of you, you’ve done your part. Please leave.” Gu Xue was still smiling cheerfully: “I never thought things would take a turn for the worst. Any struggles now is worthless and meaningless. I’m part of the Gu family. They won’t kill me. You all have your own families, please don’t make any meaningless sacrifices.”
Oppression, like a deathly oppression.
Even the lively Ah Bi Li bit onto his lips tightly and clenched his fists so tightly it turned pale. All the other guards looked sad and angry, all their eyes welled up in tears.
“Please take your leave.” Gu Xue plead: “Please don’t let me live in guilt for the rest of my life.”
Everybody lowered their heads and remained silent.
“Uncle Mu.” Gu Xue turned over to look at Mu Lei.
Mu Lei’s face was covered in scars. He was cold like a statue and his emotions were back to normal: “All of you, leave. This matter has ended. Don’t waste your lives just like that.”
Ah Bi Li gritted tightly and said angrily: “I’m not leaving!”
“Neither am I!” Shan Chen shook his head.
“I’m not leaving!”
“Me neither!”
……
After hearing all this, Mu Lei exploded and bellowed: “Get out now! Whoever dares to stop in front of me, I’ll kill them myself personally!”
“Big boss…” Ah Bi Li cried.
Without waiting for him to finish his sentence, suddenly a black shadow flashed and his expression froze. Putong, he fell flat on his face. Mu Lei moved like the wind. When he made a move, it was always so accurate and precise. Immediately, everyone fell flat on their face and all were unconscious.
Except for Shan Chen.
“Bring them away.” Mu Lei stared at Shan Chen: “Shan Chen, you have the calmest and sturdiest personality. I’ll hand them over to you. If they die, what will happen to their families? I’ve lived enough. What about them? Don’t consider for yourself, but you have to think about their families. Leave tonight. Remember, don’t stop.”
Shan Chen clenched his teeth tightly. He dared not retaliate. He was afraid if he loosened up, the tears would flow out.
Bang bang bang.
He kowtowed to Mu Lei and Gu Xue three times and lifted the others. He started to walk out.
His tears blurred his vision. The tears rolled down his face like pearls.
He clenched onto his teeth tightly.
Shan Chen disappeared in the dark. Mu Lei’s last burden was off his chest. He took out a bottle of wine and handed over to Gu Xue: “Miss, drink a mouthful or two to warm your body up.”
Gu Xue took the bottle over and pulled out the cork. She sucked with her small mouth. Immediately, her fair face was red as an apple. The wine was too strong for her, Gu Xue could not help but frown.
Mu Lei laughed out laugh. He himself took out a bottle of wine and started gulping down. The wine spilt out from his mouth and wet his clothes. He did not mind. In one mouth, he drank the entire bottle down.
The snow got bigger.
Suddenly, there was a series of dense footsteps.
