Chapter 10 (2/2)

Old He and Du immediately agreed.

In Yun Shu’s shelter, when he showed the two elderly men the food bucket, they quickly came to a conclusion: Yun Shu was right. There was indeed poison in the food.

Everything made sense now.

“Bastard! This is brutal! How dare he do such a filthy thing in this valley!” Old Du was furious.

Yun Shu could finally relax a bit, his taut nerves loosening. The two elderly men had found the truth, so he should be safe now.

However, Old He cast a glance at Yun Shu and said, “It’s true that you were in danger. And killing the man who brought you the food should have been enough to make yourself safe. Therefore, before you killed the other man, you could’ve reported this to us first.”

Yun Shu tried to say something but eventually remained silent.

Old Du tried to help from the side. “Come on. You can’t be too hard on him. Just forget it.”

“A rule is a rule, and it shall be broken by no one,” declared Old He seriously.

Seeing his adamant attitude, Old Du sighed. “Then what do you want?”

Old He snorted. “Your name’s Yun Shu, right?”

“Yes, senior!” Yun Shu gave Old He a hold fist salute.

“Killing is regarded as a felony in the valley, and thus, a punishment must be given. However, since there is a proper reason for the crime, the punishment you deserve should be less severe. You are grounded for a month!” announced Old He.

Then he turned around and left.

Yun Shu eventually could put his heart at rest.

Committing murder in the Valley of Crime was always improper, no matter what kind of reason one had.

The punishment was rather light, which meant that the two elderly men had already regarded Yun Shu as someone special!

After Old He left, Old Du grinned and said to Yun Shu, “Don’t be mad, boy. Old He’s also doing this for you!”

Yun Shu didn’t really understand.
