”This matter with the Ah Xue has nothing to do with you. Leave this place with Zhang Yu in the afternoon, if you want to come back after some time, everything will be over by then!”
After hearing what she said, Ah Xue's father touched her hair and said. His voice was suddenly a bit sharp, and her eyes revealed a cold light. Ah Xue shivered, then looked towards me as if asking for help.
”We can leave, but you must hand Jin Weilong over, otherwise we definitely won't leave!”
Since I have already said it out, I no longer want to hide my anger anymore. I simply told the truth of the matter to everyone and swept my gaze across Ah Xue's father and grandmother as I coldly said this.
Initially, I thought you were very good to our Ah Xue and could be considered to be someone who would entrust your entire life to them, so I didn't want to implicate you into this, why are you trying to cause trouble, that person is not related to you, you can just leave, no need to care about his life and death!
On the contrary, her gaze became gloomy and cold, and the sneer on the corner of her mouth was the same as Ah Xue's father. I could finally see that these two had colluded with each other to kill Jin Weilong, but I didn't know why they were acting this way.
”Grandmother, why did you do that? How can you kill people!?”
Ah Xue wanted to be gentle and quiet. She never thought that after only a few months, her two kind relatives would become so cruel. Hence, she couldn't help but ask excitedly.
When the father of the Ah Xue saw her current state, she sighed lightly and said faintly: ”To tell you the truth, Jin Weilong is about to die. Even if I hand him over to you right now, you guys wouldn't be able to save him. Ah Xue, don't blame us. We were forced to do this. ”
With that, Ah Xue's father walked over to the window and opened it. This window was directly facing the street, and was the best shined window in the entire Small Building. And now, when the window was opened, all we could see were lifeless houses, as well as the many pale white lanterns hanging from the houses.
”You must be very curious about what's going on with this path. I can tell you this, the streets outside have been arranged as a path to survival. I set it up according to my arcane skill. The dead will be revived if they walk through it.” However, every time a person passed by, another person's life would be exchanged for it. I gave your grandmother's life back to her in order to revive her! ”
The Ah Xue had her back facing us the entire time, but his voice was like a poisonous snake that snuck onto my back. I immediately felt a chill on my spine.
”How could this be?” Ah Xue used her small hand to cover her mouth as her eyes widened, while her other hand firmly gripped onto my hand. Her hand was ice-cold, as if she had just been submerged in ice water, and her face was pale.
”You … You gave your life to your grandmother!? ” Snowy looked at her father in fear, as if she was looking at a stranger.
”Ah Xue, you don't have to worry, I'm fine now, I have already exchanged for Jin Weilong's life, so I don't need to die!”
When Ah Xue's father heard Ah Xue's words, she turned her head and laughed as she spoke. He thought that Ah Xue was worried about his safety.
However, based on my understanding of Ah Xue, she should only feel horror and disbelief. After all, she is just an ordinary person.
”That's not necessarily true. The two of you are so heaven defying. Aren't you afraid of being punished by the heavens?” At this moment, a woman in a light blue down down jacket and a plaid short skirt and stockings suddenly appeared from the door. She was looking at me with a smile.
