Chapter 1265: Chapter 1244: Internal Conflict

"Uncle, it’s not that I can marry over just because I want to; the other party has to agree too. Isn’t it said that the Murong family’s face is the most important? Aren’t you asking me to do something that disregards even our dignity? Is Murong Lengyue really so undesirable?" The truth always hurts, even the toughest people are pierced when they hear it. The old man’s words felt like a handful of salt on Murong Lengyue’s wound, making her want to gasp for air.

"The lost face must be regained by oneself. I’ll talk to the Xiao family. You should look after your man well and don’t do anything to disgrace the Murong family. Teaming up with a fool brought back so much trouble, do you think others didn’t notice?"

Murong Lengyue’s ruthless gaze swept towards the silent Murong Jue. "Yes, Uncle, I didn’t think this through."

"After staging your own drama, clean up properly. If you mobilize so many people, you should realize no wall is air-tight. Why are you looking at your second uncle? Do you think he’s the only one who reports to me?" The old man stood up abruptly. "The decision is made; I’ll ask you now, do you still want to become Xiao Lin’s wife?"

"Yes!"

"Kun, teach your daughter well, Murong Jue, come with me."

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Murong Jue followed the old man out the door, giving Murong Lengyue a smug smile as he left, clearly indicating that there was more to come, with a sense of provocation.

Angry, Murong Lengyue grabbed the wine glass on the table and threw it at the wall, shattering the glass on impact. Sitting on the sofa, she trembled, breathing heavily in an attempt to calm down, but this only made her hate even more.

"Shao Qinyi wouldn’t come here without reason. What did you do secretly with this person?" Murong Kun asked. "Your uncle wasn’t wrong. Besides Xia Xue being held against by Xiao Lin, what else did you do? In the former case, at least we have reason on our side. At most, you mishandled it, but it’s understandable, and the Xiao family can’t say much. If you did anything behind our backs, even as the Murong Family Head, you would be held responsible, understand?"

"Weren’t you out of family matters? Didn’t you abandon this responsibility when you pushed me, a child then, into this cruel position? What gives you the right to reprimand me now?"

Murong Kun’s mouth twitched. "Regardless, I’m siding with your uncle on this matter. You better heed my words; don’t get too close to Shao Qinyi. It’s public knowledge that Quan Xianglin wants to swallow the Xiao family. We don’t want to get involved. For that, Xiao Zhenfeng won’t shut you out. This is a political marriage; no one can escape it. Don’t think you’re strong; hidden predators are the most dangerous."

"I don’t want to marry a man who doesn’t love me."

"This marriage doesn’t allow for whims. All you can do is win that person’s heart. If you can’t, then take it. If you can’t even do that, this position isn’t suitable for you."

Murong Kun had just walked out the door when he heard a woman’s shout behind him. Xiao Yue, who approached, was startled by the shout and then bowed deeply to Murong Kun. "Master!"

Pah! A loud slap landed on Xiao Yue’s face, swelling the right side instantly. "I raised you, put you beside her to teach her such ill-mannered and inept behavior?" Unable to hit his daughter, Murong Kun vented his anger on Xiao Yue. "Feeling wronged?"

"No! It’s my fault for not considering it thoroughly, letting Miss fall into a crisis."

"Keep a close watch on her for me, don’t let her cause irreversible trouble." Murong Kun took a deep breath and touched the right side of Xiao Yue’s face that he slapped. "Does it hurt? Don’t blame my heavy hand; if you can’t do this, then being beside her is too dangerous."

"I understand, Master!" Still unyielding, letting Murong Kun stroke the slapped face.

"Was Yelü Shou’s death related to her?"

"It’s said that people from ’Wagang Village’ did it, supposedly unrelated."

"Supposed? Even you can’t be sure, which means the possibility of her involvement is high. Investigate the hidden connections and report directly to me; don’t inform Lengyue."

"Yes!" Xiao Yue stepped aside for Murong Kun to pass, his slapped face twitching while another glass-shattering noise made him rush into the living room, where chaos awaited. Murong Lengyue stood bewildered in a room she’d nearly destroyed.

As someone approached from behind and pulled her into their embrace, Murong Lengyue was caught off guard and started to struggle. "It’s me!" A deep voice sounded, and the familiar scent of tobacco filled Murong Lengyue’s nostrils. "What did the old master say to make you so angry? Young Master Wu said the elder was here too, so I hurried over to check. Why are you so upset?"

"You smoked!" Surrounded by the familiar scent, Murong Lengyue surprisingly calmed down and tried to break free from Xiao Yue’s embrace, but was held even tighter.

"Don’t move, just stand here for a while. You haven’t completely calmed down yet; it’s not suitable to talk right now."

If there was anyone in the world who could see through Rong Lengyue, it was only Xiao Yue. Not even her own parents matched up to this man who suddenly appeared in her life—her father’s toughly imposed bodyguard and planted informant.

"I’m fine, you can let me go." Whenever Murong Lengyue thought that he was her father’s spy, she couldn’t truly trust him. Her deceased grandfather once said, in this world you can’t trust anyone, only yourself. "What’s wrong with your face?" Pushing Xiao Yue away, Murong Lengyue turned her head to see his swollen face. "Who did this?" How dare someone touch even her own people now?

"It’s not like that!" As if he saw through what she was thinking, Xiao Yue held onto the impulsive Murong Lengyue. "Unless I’m willing, who else here would dare lay a hand on me? That would be asking for death, wouldn’t it?" He spoke lightly, with an easy smile, but Murong Lengyue’s heart sank upon hearing it.

"It’s my father!" Yes, apart from her, only her father could make Xiao Yue willingly take a hit here.

"Did I get hit because of something I did?"

"Let’s not talk about this first. Was Yelü Shou ordered by you?" Xiao Yue pulled Murong Lengyue and kicked away shattered glass on the ground to sit down on the sofa. "Shao Qinyi didn’t tell you that those spies sent to Black Street had their heads severed and returned?"

"What?" Murong Lengyue was shocked.

Xiao Lin sat on the tenth floor of the shopping mall, gazing down, a smile occasionally tugging at his lips. He couldn’t help but feel proud of his woman’s swift moves—from planning, implementation, to wrapping up, all done within a week. Although it took longer than he had envisioned, the project was reduced significantly in scope due to material selection and usage, after all.

From here to the sixth floor of the shopping mall, it’s essentially an underground city, as the name suggests. It’s become another dwelling place for assassins. Of course, they couldn’t move all of the original assassins here. However, due to the sudden clean-up of the Black Doctor, they found many skilled individuals. As for the remaining ones, that night was full of peril. People in Sin City weren’t good people, and killing didn’t require a reason. Similarly, those living in Sin City were all deserved to be killed. The principle of survival of the fittest was expertly applied by Black Doctor that night. Thanks to him, Lao Jiu unearthed many skilled people, and all of them were incorporated into this brand new "underground city" for systematic and rigorous training. For the first time, Consort Ling transitioned from a bodyguard role into her role as a cleaner.

Black Street has turned into an empty street, but some still reside in that three-story house because Black Doctor was reluctant to tear down his small bungalow. Troy’s age-reduction strategy has already slowed down a bit, but it still can’t be exhibited openly before those villains, so Black Street is now merely a place to sleep.

Fingers tapping on the armrest, his lips inadvertently curl into a smile. His mood today is exceptionally good. After a long wait, the text message notification sounded on his phone.

’I’m very busy, don’t keep asking me the same questions. Damn, you’re a doctor too, why can’t you ascertain for yourself, I’m not an obstetrician.’ A text message could be filled with murderous intent; such a character could only be Black Doctor.

’Is this really the last time?’ He replied to the message, and Xiao Lin’s lips curled again, his eyes narrowing into slits.

"Are you out of your mind or what? You’ve had this expression all morning; you’re almost like Troy." Hua Qingyi gave Xiao Lin a you’re-an-idiot look, typing away on the keyboard. "How did I become your unpaid labor here?"

"Isn’t this your field of study? If I don’t come to you, who should I ask?" Xiao Lin gave him a look of justified expression, and his phone buzzed again; this time Black Doctor responded swiftly.

’Damn it, go to hell!’

Ah! Is this considered an affirmative response? Xiao Lin raised his phone towards Hua Qingyi with a highly displeased smile. "Alright, my dear master, everyone here already knows you want a daddy. Even the cleaning lady on the fifth floor has learned to mimic your ghastly smile; could you please restrain yourself? There are still many pitiful people who sleep alone, longing for a break."

"Oh, are you referring to yourself? Well, you should hurry and find someone to have a baby with, it’s such a magnificent thing."

"However magnificent it may be, please devote yourself to work, okay?"

"Work? What am I supposed to do? The most important thing right now is to protect my dear wife." (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets; your support is my greatest motivation.)
