Chapter 73 Extermination of the Whole Family
Hearing Xia Lu out, the man shows a less grim face.
“I will check on you later.” Saying that, the man turns away and walks out of the ward.
Yue Xincheng doesn’t hold in his confusion and shouts at the man, “How do you know Gao Ge is him but not me?”
The man stops and turns to him, taking a glance and saying grimly, “You are so ugly that my sister cannot like you.”
Saying that, he swaggers off.
Yue Xincheng grabs the door and shouts, “Don’t you stop me! I will beat him to death.”
Yue Xincheng doesn’t turn around until the man walks away, kicking the door of the ward, “I told you not to stop me and you should still stop me!”
No one disturbs him directing and acting by himself.
Lying in bed, Xia Lu hasn’t come to her sense yet.
Helped up by Meng Jing, Gao Ge gets up and whispers to Meng Jing, “I don’t have other girlfriends...”
Meng Jing is speechless.
“Is that your real elder brother?” Looking at Xia Lu, Gao Ge says wonderingly.
Xia Lu nods her head and says, “He is Xia Shengtang, my real elder brother.”
Gao Ge rubs his chest, “If so, I feel okay to take the punch.”
“Even if you don’t feel okay, it is of no use. My elder brother is much more powerful than me. By no means can you defeat him.” Xia Lu says.
Gao Ge keeps rubbing his chest.
Wow! So hurt...
Having come back, Meng Fang catches sight of Gao Ge and Yue Xincheng with a bitter face, asking doubtfully, “What’s wrong with you two?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“We got beaten...” Gao Ge says in a low voice.
Meng Fang is taken aback, “The Ning Family?”
“No, it is my brother.” Xia Lu says.
Meng Fang is relieved, “It’s okay then. Fighting makes you healthier.”
Gao Ge and Yue Xincheng appear disgruntled.
“Well, I have completed the discharge procedure. Let’s go now. Your little yard is the most suitable place for convalescence in Jiangnan City. There was only one patient and now we’ve got three. Good.” Meng Fang says gaily.
It seems that he is not going to avenge on Xia Shengtang for Gao Ge and Yue Xincheng.
Of course, Gao Ge and Yue Xincheng don’t mind that.
Especially Gao Ge, who feels guilty for Xia Lu, now gets better after being beaten.
Having packed up simply, Gao Ge returns to the yard and feels more at ease.
“When you all get well, we will go back to the Cultivation Academy.” Meng Fang says to the four people.
Gao Ge is rather surprised, “So soon?”
“It is ahead of schedule indeed. Due to the incident that happened, the Academy management believes that it is better for you to go back to the Cultivation Academy.” Meng Fang says.
Gao Ge coughs and looks awkward.
Meng Fang says in a comforting tone, “Don’t think too much. I have no other meaning. I simply think that you are a trouble-maker.”
Gao Ge says nothing.
Meng Fang has a special way of comforting others.
In the yard, Gao Ge dare not let go of himself freely, or the aura in the yard will be taken in all by him. In that case, it is not good for Xia Lu to regain health. As for Yue Xincheng, Xia Shengtang still showed mercy while beating him. He will be okay after feeling painful for a while and can continue acting alive and kicking.
When Gao Ge wakes up the next day, he feels much more relieved. Being here in the yard, even he doesn’t release himself and lets the Star Tree absorb the aura in the yard, the power of stars will recover at a faster speed.
What a great place indeed!
He gets up in the early morning. When he opens the yard door, unexpectedly, he finds that a man is lying outside the yard with a sword in his hand. The edge of the sword and his body are covered with blood.
“Xia Lu’s brother?” Gao Ge is awestruck and hastens to reach out his hand to pat on Xia Shengtang’s body.
Xia Shengtang opens his eyes slowly and takes a glimpse of him. Then he takes a deep breath and stands up.
“You’ve got a nice place. I have been injured and just lied down here for a while. Now I feel that my strength is quite recovered.” Xia Shengtang stands up straight and says, “I wanted to take Xia Lu away, but now it seems better to let her rest here. Yet, keep in mind that if Xia Lu gets hurt again, I will rip your head off and take it as a yoyo by piercing through your ears with a rope.”
Gao Ge imagines that and cannot help shivering.
What a powerful man! Even his way of threatening others is so special.
Watching Xia Shengtang leave slowly, Gao Ge rubs his temples and doesn’t know what to say for the moment.
After Xia Lu wakes up, Gao Ge tells her what has happened, making her feel so worried.
“My brother is injured? How is him now? How could you let him go?” She feels increasingly angry while speaking, and throws the pillow at Gao Ge.
The soft pillow is not powerful enough to hurt others. Gao Ge catches it and then puts it back on Xia Lu’s bed, “To be honest, I didn’t ask him to stay. Neither dare I ask him to stay. Your brother doesn’t want to talk to me. Even if I did ask him, he might beat me up.”
Xia Lu sighs, “Even if you did ask him, my brother wouldn’t stay...”
“Yet, how come your brother has so much blood all over him?” Gao Ge touches his jaw and says.
“You are asking me?”
Gao Ge coughs and smiles jokingly.
Very soon, Meng Fang comes over.
“It’s Xia Shengtang.” Meng Fang says out of no reason.
Gao Ge and Xia Lu look at him questioningly.
“The Ning Family has been exterminated over one night with 72 people slaughtered.” Meng Fang takes out his phone and shows the horrifying pictures that indicate the bloody hell-like scene there.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe looks at Xia Lu and asks, “Your brother is a sword user?”
Xia Lu nods her head, “Yes.”
“I am surer of it.” Meng Fang takes a deep breath, “Your brother is a bit crude and rash...”
“Will... my brother be caught by the people of the Dragon Court?” Xia Lu asks in a low voice.
“The Dragon Court will look for him, but the question is whether they can find him.” Meng Fang says, “The two members of the Dragon Court left in Jiangnan City, aka, the two people following Tang Jiusi, are responsible for monitoring the Ning Family, while Xia Shengtang killed the Ning Family all on their watch. Xia Shengtang seemed to notice them and then got rid of them very quickly.”
Gao Ge is so touched, feeling that Xia Shengtang was acting so calmly that he didn’t just stab through his chest with his sword in the hospital.
“Okay, I must go to tell Tang Jiusi about this. Have a good rest then.”
After Meng Fang walks out, Xia Lu grabs Gao Ge’s clothes subconsciously.
“Save my brother!”
Gao Ge gives her a long face and says, “You are overestimating me... Will a master like your brother need my help?”
Xia Lu thinks for a second and finds that what Gao Ge said makes sense, so she shows the whites of her eyes and releases her hand on Gao Ge’s clothes.
Gao Ge feels so hurt, “You are so realistic...”
Xia Lu murmurs and then continues to rest with her eyes closed.
Gao Ge leaves the room.
When he tells Meng Jing and Yue Xincheng about that, they react differently.
Yue Xincheng just keeps patting his chest harshly and appears still in a state of shock. He also puts his palms together devoutly and prays towards the sky, saying continuously, “Many thanks to Mr. Xia for sparing my life!”
Gao Ge says jokingly, “You may as well thank the door that stopped you in the hospital.”
Yue Xincheng chuckles.
Yet, Meng Jing puts on a face full of envy and says that if she can have such a nice brother, it will be so great.
It is probably the biggest difference between boys and girls. They focus on different points!
