Gu Yang asked, “What is the Heaven’s Chosen List?”
The several traders looked at him strangely, not believing that he didn’t even know about the Heaven’s Chosen List, which was commonly known to everyone.
However, Old Gao reacted faster, “The Heaven’s Chosen List records the young, powerful individuals who are twenty years old or younger and have reached at least the Second Grade. Those who manage to make the list are genuinely the favoured ones of this generation. Their future achievements are limitless.”
In other words, among those who are under twenty years old and at the Second Grade, Liu Zhe ranks ninth, which is quite impressive.
For someone like Gu Yang, he didn’t even qualify to be on the list.
Old Gao continued, “Speaking of our Ba County, indeed, it is a blessed place that has produced not only the ninth place on the Heaven’s Chosen List but also the thirteenth place on the Beauty List last year.”
After that, he voluntarily explained, “The Beauty List records all the world’s extraordinary beauties.”
Gu Yang didn’t need an explanation for that; he could guess it.
Old Yang from the side remarked, “There’s a saying that beauties have short lives, being on the Beauty List is not a good thing. If the Su family hadn’t produced a Su Qingzhen, they wouldn’t have caught the Liu family’s attention, resulting in their family’s destruction.”
Old Gao wondered, “Logically speaking, marrying a talent like Liu Zhe shouldn’t be humiliating for Su Qingzhen. Why didn’t she agree? That led to the destruction of her entire family.”
“Hmph, Liu Zhe has long been engaged to the Xue family, even if he had ten times the courage, he wouldn’t dare to pursue another woman. It’s said that the Liu family wanted to offer her to a certain big shot. They tried all kinds of methods, both hard and soft.”
“Who would have thought that Su Qingzhen would be so determined and strong-willed? She chose to die rather than submit. In the end, she was quietly sent out of Ba County by the Su family. The Liu family, frustrated and embarrassed, wiped out the entire Su family. Their actions were incredibly ruthless, absolutely chilling.”
As they talked about the destruction of the Su family, the expressions of the several traders darkened.
The Su family had been a respected family in Ba County for many years, and yet the Liu Family destroyed them just like that, demonstrating their domineering and unrestrained behavior.
They, even as individuals of some wealth with families under Ba County’s rule, didn’t feel a sense of safety.
Gu Yang changed the topic and asked about the notable individuals in the Liu family.
Old Gao said, “There are many, the Liu family has been thriving for several generations. In the youngest generation, besides Liu Zhe, there are several outstanding disciples.” He proceeded to list them one by one.
…
The conversation continued for over half an hour.
Although Gu Yang had learned quite a lot about the Liu family’s members, he still couldn’t determine who that youth in the hunting team was from the Liu family.
They had rested long enough, so the caravan continued on the road.
Gu Yang, leading the way at the front, once again activated the Life Simulator.
[Do you want to use the Life Simulator? Each use costs 20 coins.]
The price didn’t go up, thankfully there was one piece of good news.
“Yes.”
[When you are 22 years old, you became a Ninth Rank Martial Warrior and decided to venture out with the caravan. Along the way, you lost your way and failed to reach Wang Family’s Gutter.]
[Two months later, you followed the caravan and arrived in Phoenix City. With your outstanding skills, you attracted the attention of the Sheng Family and became a guard for them.]
[At the age of 27, under your guidance, the Sheng Family’s business territory expanded over the past five years. The head of the Sheng Family valued you, and in order to win you over, he passed on the high-level technique “Sun’s Red Technique” to you.]
[At the age of 30, you returned to the Liu Family Village, only to discover that the village had been destroyed eight years ago. You vowed revenge.]
[At the age of 35, you finally broke through and became an Eighth Grade Martial Warrior.]
[At the age of 36, the Sheng Family’s business attracted the attention of the Liu Family. The head of the Sheng Family was assassinated, and you were killed on the spot. You lived to the age of 36.]
After reading the simulation, Gu Yang looked a little upset.
Even if he managed to avoid that hunting team from the Liu family, the Liu Family Village still couldn’t avoid its fate of being massacred.
Why was this?
Why was the Liu family determined to wipe out Liu Family Village?
