Chapter 526 - The Remains Are Scarcely Cold Yet (1/2)
He Youniang hasn’t lived a peaceful life since she came back to Shanxi.
Despite her attainments in Tao of sword and being the favorite student of Gao Ge, she is actually still a kid.
Her father’s death has caused great pressure on her.
However, after returning to Shanxi, she realizes that the actual situation is not as simple as she imagined.
Her father was murdered.
And there is not only one murderer.
The He Family has been on the verge of collapse now.
In the mourning hall, He Youniang, wearing mourning clothes, is kneeling aside on the ground.
She stares at the familiar face in the black-and-white photo that is placed before the coffin.
She always remembers what her father often said to her.
Shedding tears alone is the most cowardly behavior.
Although He Youniang is a girl, she has been treated as a boy since she was born.
She has rarely worn dresses or watched cartoons.
Probably because she is his daughter, she has started to learn swordsmanship since childhood.
Her Tao of sword is also full of harsh killing intent.
He Youniang used to be tired of that kind of life.
She used to wish that she could have several close besties to hang out every day, carrying a bag and wearing a beautiful dress to do window-shopping in the street with a cup of milk tea.
Therefore, at that time she didn’t like her father at all.
She wondered why she couldn’t decide how to live her life.
Afterwards, she gradually realizes that as she is his daughter, she cannot act willfully and live her life in her own way.
As she grows older, she increasingly understands the importance of Tao of sword.
Only when she becomes strong can she protect herself.
“As long as I am still alive, the He Family will never collapse,” She stares at the familiar photo and says seriously.
At the moment, a middle-aged man comes to her.
“Youniang, the people of the Shen Family has arrived.”
With her eyes getting cold at once, He Youniang stands up slowly.
“I don’t go to them. How dare they come here?” He Youniang sneers.
“Youniang, the Shen Family also has a cultivator at the realm of Strength Exposure and two cultivators at the realm of Strength Protection. If we confront them with toughness, we are no match for them.”
“Uncle, why do they make trouble for us?” He Youniang turns around and asks the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man hesitates and heaves a sigh, saying with a bitter smile, “Actually, it is not that complicated. They are after the He Family’s assets. The Shen Family once proposed a marriage to our family.”
“Proposed a marriage? The Shen Family? To marry whom?” He Youniang is taken aback.
The middle-aged man takes a glance at her and coughs.
Although he doesn’t say anything, his answer is rather obvious.
He Youniang snorts, “Do the Shen Family deserve to do that?”
