Chapter 73 (2/2)
He gets up in the early morning. When he opens the yard door, unexpectedly, he finds that a man is lying outside the yard with a sword in his hand. The edge of the sword and his body are covered with blood.
“Xia Lu’s brother?” Gao Ge is awestruck and hastens to reach out his hand to pat on Xia Shengtang’s body.
Xia Shengtang opens his eyes slowly and takes a glimpse of him. Then he takes a deep breath and stands up.
“You’ve got a nice place. I have been injured and just lied down here for a while. Now I feel that my strength is quite recovered.” Xia Shengtang stands up straight and says, “I wanted to take Xia Lu away, but now it seems better to let her rest here. Yet, keep in mind that if Xia Lu gets hurt again, I will rip your head off and take it as a yoyo by piercing through your ears with a rope.”
Gao Ge imagines that and cannot help shivering.
What a powerful man! Even his way of threatening others is so special.
Watching Xia Shengtang leave slowly, Gao Ge rubs his temples and doesn’t know what to say for the moment.
After Xia Lu wakes up, Gao Ge tells her what has happened, making her feel so worried.
“My brother is injured? How is him now? How could you let him go?” She feels increasingly angry while speaking, and throws the pillow at Gao Ge.
The soft pillow is not powerful enough to hurt others. Gao Ge catches it and then puts it back on Xia Lu’s bed, “To be honest, I didn’t ask him to stay. Neither dare I ask him to stay. Your brother doesn’t want to talk to me. Even if I did ask him, he might beat me up.”
Xia Lu sighs, “Even if you did ask him, my brother wouldn’t stay…”
“Yet, how come your brother has so much blood all over him?” Gao Ge touches his jaw and says.
“You are asking me?”
Gao Ge coughs and smiles jokingly.
Very soon, Meng Fang comes over.
“It’s Xia Shengtang.” Meng Fang says out of no reason.
Gao Ge and Xia Lu look at him questioningly.
“The Ning Family has been exterminated over one night with 72 people slaughtered.” Meng Fang takes out his phone and shows the horrifying pictures that indicate the bloody hell-like scene there.
He looks at Xia Lu and asks, “Your brother is a sword user?”
Xia Lu nods her head, “Yes.”
“I am surer of it.” Meng Fang takes a deep breath, “Your brother is a bit crude and rash…”
“Will… my brother be caught by the people of the Dragon Court?” Xia Lu asks in a low voice.
“The Dragon Court will look for him, but the question is whether they can find him.” Meng Fang says, “The two members of the Dragon Court left in Jiangnan City, aka, the two people following Tang Jiusi, are responsible for monitoring the Ning Family, while Xia Shengtang killed the Ning Family all on their watch. Xia Shengtang seemed to notice them and then got rid of them very quickly.”
Gao Ge is so touched, feeling that Xia Shengtang was acting so calmly that he didn’t just stab through his chest with his sword in the hospital.
“Okay, I must go to tell Tang Jiusi about this. Have a good rest then.”
After Meng Fang walks out, Xia Lu grabs Gao Ge’s clothes subconsciously.
“Save my brother!”
Gao Ge gives her a long face and says, “You are overestimating me… Will a master like your brother need my help?”
Xia Lu thinks for a second and finds that what Gao Ge said makes sense, so she shows the whites of her eyes and releases her hand on Gao Ge’s clothes.
Gao Ge feels so hurt, “You are so realistic…”
Xia Lu murmurs and then continues to rest with her eyes closed.
Gao Ge leaves the room.
When he tells Meng Jing and Yue Xincheng about that, they react differently.
Yue Xincheng just keeps patting his chest harshly and appears still in a state of shock. He also puts his palms together devoutly and prays towards the sky, saying continuously, “Many thanks to Mr. Xia for sparing my life!”
Gao Ge says jokingly, “You may as well thank the door that stopped you in the hospital.”
Yue Xincheng chuckles.
Yet, Meng Jing puts on a face full of envy and says that if she can have such a nice brother, it will be so great.
It is probably the biggest difference between boys and girls. They focus on different points!
