Chapter 516. Evil Intention (2/2)
Fortunately, the Wu Family’s residence wasn’t large. Head Steward Liu only needed a few large jumps to go from the outer courtyard to the receiving room in the inner courtyard. When he saw that familiar stance of his master, Head Steward Liu rushed forward as he wanted to strike before his master completely fell into darkness. He wanted to take his master to a place where there were no people in order to avoid his master hurting others.
“Head...Head Steward Liu, what’s wrong with my older cousin?” Wu Junling saw that both Head Steward Liu and Bodyguard Dong had arrived. She timidly stood up and her colorless lips trembled for a bit before she finally inquired.
Dong Dali glared at her with an unhappy look on his face before he said, “It’s been so many years since the master last had this happen! You guys truly have skills to make the master lose control of himself…”
“Xiaodong, don’t waste your time flapping your lips at them. Quickly bring the master to Miss Yu!” Head Steward Liu had wanted to press the master’s acupuncture points to delay the time to madness but he had been pushed fiercely away by Zhu Junyang, whose eyes were completely red!
“This is bad!” Head Steward Liu could tell that his master’s reason had been completely eaten away by that heart devil. With his master’s current skills and abilities, he would only last about half an hour before he would get beaten, “Xiaodong, quickly go to the Yu Residence to bring Miss Yu over. I’m going to restrain the master for now!”
“Miss Yu?” Dong Dali hesitated. Judging by how much the master valued Miss Yu, if he accidentally harmed her while in his frenzy, the master would definitely be heartbroken when he finally woke up and probably gut him right there!
“Xiaodong, what are you waiting for? Do you want the Wu Family to perish in a river of blood ah? Quickly go!! I can’t handle him for too long!” Head Steward Liu picked up the fainted Jiang Meiyi and threw her towards Wu Junling’s direction as he hollered, “Quickly take your mother out of here. If you don’t want to die, then don’t come back!”
At this moment, Zhu Junyang felt like everything around him was full of darkness and evil. The people around him seem to flicker. Some of them were angrily raging at home, some of them wanted him to die, some of them wanted to destroy his lady mother...he had the desire to destroy everything around him. Thus, he used all of his energy to rush towards the area that he felt like held the most malicious aura…
Head Steward Liu felt his heart skip a beat and his body moved before he could think. In that moment, the area where he was before he moved now had a deep crevice in it. The nearby pillar had been completely severed in two and the roof above had started to sway alarmingly.
Wu Junling, who was currently struggling to drag her mother out of the room, had almost been scared silly when she saw what had just happened. She almost dropped her mother’s body to the ground to flee. Danger could always stimulate a person’s inner potential. The amount of strength she had to move her mother suddenly increased by a lot. Thus, by the time Zhu Junyang discovered her, she had just left the reception room.
The current room had long been destroyed beyond repair. Tables, chairs, shelves, and valuable items had been smashed until they were just rubble. Head Steward Liu was currently doing his best to dodge his master’s attacks but he had a few close encounters.
The amount of rubble inside the room increased by the second and the floor was strewn with trash, as if a horrible war had reached here. Head Steward Liu could only helplessly leave and run towards the outer room. There was more space outside and it’d be easier for him to avoid his master’s attacks. It had been a while since he was his master’s match in battle so he could only rely on running away to drag things out. He hoped desperately that Dong Dali would be able to find Miss Yu without much issue.
Fortunately, the heavens had heard his prayers. When Bodyguard Dong arrived at the Yu Residence, Yu Xiaocao had just gotten back from the frozen dessert store and hadn’t entered through the gate.
“Miss Yu, my master is waiting for you to save him!” Although Dong Dali didn't quite understand exactly why Head Steward Liu instructed him to get Miss Yu, his words weren’t an exaggeration. It truly was to save someone’s life as they were trying to save Head Steward Liu’s and the entire Wu Family’s life.
When Yu Xiaocao noticed that the normally taciturn and calm Bodyguard Dong was frazzled to the point of babbling, worry exploded in her heart. She didn’t even bother to ask him what was going on as she turned her horse around and sternly asked, “Where’s your master? Quickly take me there!!”
Dong Dali had run over like a madman earlier and had leapt across countless roofs to get here. He didn’t even bother to catch his breath as he snatched the reins from Yingchun’s hands and pulled the maid down. He flipped onto the horse and spurred the horse to a gallop in the direction of the Wu Family’s residence.
Yingchun, who was caught off guard by all of this, had almost fallen onto her bottom. If it wasn’t for Wutong supporting her, she absolutely would have fallen flat on her face! After she finally stood steady, she cursed a few times at Dong Dali’s disappearing figure. That wasn't enough to sate her anger, so she tore off her embroidered cloth shoes and hurled them forcefully at the man. Dong Dali and Xiaocao had long galloped off and they couldn’t even be seen anymore, so naturally, she wasn’t able to hit the object of her frustrations.
The young maidservant in charge of keeping an eye on the gate hurriedly rushed forward and brought her embroidered shoes back. She knelt down to put them back on the other maid. Wutong comforted Yingchun, “There must be something really important going on. Otherwise, Bodyguard Dong wouldn’t act in such a way.”
