Chapter 93 – My Son is the Main Villain (part 13)

The fire in You Yue Valley burned for 5 days and 5 nights before it went out. Jiang Rong and Jiang Qiao did not give up. They waited outside the entire time until the fire went out, then entered the valley again to search for the mother and son. Apart from the irises, everything else had been burned.

As for the irises, it was said that Master Qing Feng was buried there. The people of the Guang Ming Sect were a bit flustered when they saw this situation. All of You Yue Valley had been burned, except for this section of irises, which was really weird. Even if the people of the Guang Ming sect were decisive, they were still superstitious, so they were afraid to go near the irises.

Only Jiang Rong and Jiang Qiao did not give up. They ordered people to dig down 3 feet, but they found nothing. In the end, the group had to admit that maybe Li Su and Yuan Lang had been burned in the fire with no bones remaining.

The two did not give up. They wandered outside You Yue Valley for over 2 weeks, but didn’t see a miracle. In addition, rumours of the Demon Sect setting fire to You Yue Valley quickly spread across the lands. It was even reported that the Demon Sect had killed Master Qing Feng.

Many people from across the lands who were favoured by Master Qing Feng rushed to You Yue Valley to avenge her.

Jiang Rong and Jiang Qiao saw that something was wrong, so they left. But, they didn’t give up. They sent someone to stay outside of You Yue Valley to see if they could discover anything.

It was said that Yuan Wei Xiu and Ou Yang Yi were travelling. One day, while they were resting, they suddenly heard of this big news from a group of beggars, that the Demon Sect had killed Master Qing Feng. In order to conceal this, they set fire to You Yue Valley and left nobody alive.

When Yuan Wei Xiu heard the news, he was shocked.

Ou Yang Yi looked at him nervously. “Master!”

Yuan Wei Xiu seemed to snap out of it. He vomited blood, then turned on his horse and rode back.

Ou Yang Yi hurriedly said to Shui Yi Yi, “A-Yi, I’m really sorry. I can’t send you home.” He then turned his horse and chased Yuan Wei Xiu.

The three of them rushed back to You Yue Valley without sleeping. When they arrived, Jiang Rong, Jiang Qiao, and all the others had already left.

Yuan Wei Xiu saw the unrecognisable You Yue Valley and his heart broke. He almost fell off his horse. He stumbled inside and saw the mess.

“Su Su! Lang’er! Su Su! Lang’er!” Yuan Wei Xiu yelled, his voice hoarse. Nobody answered. The only response was the wind blowing through the valley.

Ou Yang Yi and Shui Yi YI walked in. They looked around and let out quiet gasps.

Yuan Wei Xiu knelt on the ground and grabbed the black soil with his hands. It was his fault. He shouldn’t have left in the first place. If he hadn’t left, then Su Su and Lang’er wouldn’t have died! He did the wrong thing again!

“Master! My condolences!” Ou Yang Yi knelt beside Yuan Wei Xiu and supported him. How did this happen? They weren’t gone for that long. Why did this happen?

Yuan Wei Xiu knelt on the ground and did not move for a long time.

Shui Yi Yi quietly went over and pulled on Ou Yang Yi’s sleeve. “Older brother Yi, let’s look around. Maybe there are secret areas in the valley?”

Ou Yang Yi looked at his master, who was in pain. After he thought about it for a while, he let go of Yuan Wei Xiu, and the two of them searched the valley.

There were traces of someone searching thoroughly everywhere. The ashes were mixed with the mud.

When Shui Yi Yi saw this, she figured they probably wouldn’t find anything. But, she didn’t give up. She continued to rummage through the ashes with a stick.

“A-Yi, have you looked over there?” Ou Yang Yi suddenly pointed to a particularly conspicuous lush spot of irises next to a ruined wall not far away.

Shui Yi Yi looked over. She remembered the rumours she had heard outside and suddenly thought that they were nonsense. She quickly threw away the stick in her hand. “Older brother Yi, let’s go. People have searched this place countless times. There is nothing left.”

Ou Yang Yi nodded. “I think so too. What about master?”

The two of them looked back and saw that Yuan Wei Xiu was still kneeling in the mess, looking extremely miserable.

Yuan Wei Xiu knelt in You Yue Valley for 3 days and 3 nights before Ou Yang Yi finally persuaded him to move. A cenotaph was erected next to the irises for Yuan Lang and his mother. They called it a cenotaph, but it was actually an empty grave.

Ou Yang Yi looked worriedly at Yuan Wei Xiu, who was standing in front of the grave with an ashen heart. “A-Yi, you have lots of ideas, so quickly think of a way to persuade master!”

Shui Yi Yi rolled her eyes. She had to think of a way to divert Yuan Wei Xiu’s attention, otherwise he might stay here to guard the grave.

“Master Yuan, the Demon Sect is cruel and is running rampant. We can’t idly sit by! Let’s avenge Yuan Lang and the others!” Shui Yi Yi said.

Yuan Wei Xiu’s expression changed. Yes, revenge. He wanted to avenge Su Su and Lang’er.

“I think we unite and form a martial arts congregation. We should select a leader, then under their leadership, work together to destroy the Demon Sect. We will eliminate them, defend the lands, and support justice.” The more Shui Yi Yi thought about it, the more she thought it was a good idea.

In the current martial arts world, there were very few people who could surpass Yuan Wei Xiu. If this was done properly, then Yuan Wei Xiu could be the leader of the martial artists. Older brother Yi’s martial arts wasn’t bad, so he could stand up there with Yuan Wei Xiu. There was also the possibility of letting older brother Yi become the martial arts leader. Still, it would be a good thing for older brother Yi if his master was the martial arts leader.

Along with Shen Shui Palace’s help, there was nobody in the same generation who could compare to older brother Yi now.

Shui Yi Yi seemed to have seen a bright future and her eyes were shining with excitement.

But, Yuan Wei Xiu only heard the word revenge. Yes, revenge! If it wasn’t for the Demon Sect, then he wouldn’t have been separated from Su Su 15 years ago! The one to blame for all of this was the Demon Sect!

Yuan Wei Xiu stood up and took a look at the tomb before he turned and left.

Yuan Wei Xiu wouldn’t give up until he eradicated the Demon Sect!

In the secret room, Yuan Lang was practicing. Li Su was a little bored by herself. Since she was idle, she was listening to the movements outside. She also heard most of what Yuan Wei Xiu and the others said.

Li Su felt a little guilty when it came to Yuan Wei Xiu. This guilt, however, didn’t compare to her future stable life.

Li Su didn’t care about this martial arts gathering. The leader of the martial artists was just a title. If Shui Yi Yi wanted this, then she could have it.

Li Su sighed. She heard a lot of people coming to mourn from this secret room, but they were all the same. Nobody was really sad about the death of her master. What they were worried about was that there was no heir to You Yue Valley, so who would they go to in the future when they got sick or injured?

When she thought of this, she shook her head and opened the poison scripture in her hand. The benefit of this secret room was that it could calm people down.  She tackled the poison scripture that she couldn’t understand before with renewed energy. If she wanted to live in this world, she had to have some self-defence. The original owner wasn’t a smart person and Li Su knew nothing about Chinese medicine. The result of these two traits was that it took 5 years for Li Su to complete one poison book.

But for Li Su, it was enough.

The time in seclusion was very boring. Li Su had nothing to do in her spare time. Apart from listening to movements outside, she could only focus on her self-defence. She made a few things, but since she was stuck in this secret room, she couldn’t experiment with them. She had no idea how effective her poison was.

She didn’t know how long she stayed in the secret room. Perhaps it was a long time or maybe it was a few days. One day, Yuan Lang opened his eyes and stood up.

At that time, Li Su was arranging □□. When she heard the movement, she was startled so badly that she almost broke the □□ in her hand. She then realised that she and Yuan Lang were the only 2 people in the room, so it must have been Yuan Lang who moved.

“Lang’er, are you awake? Are you hungry?” Li Su knew that this question was stupid, but she didn’t know if the bodies of practitioners were different from ordinary people. Did they have to eat? Could they just subsist on dew?

Also, how did they solve their physiological problems?

Li Su thought about it. These days, in order to reduce inconveniences, she ate and drank as little as possible every day. Also, when she washed at night, she carefully hid behind the screen and tried not to move too much.

Although they were close, she still had to pay attention to these things.

Such a life was too embarrassing. Although Yuan Lang was in seclusion and he hadn’t moved, Li Su still felt embarrassed.

“Mother, mother! How are you doing?” Yuan Lang was in a good mood.

“Not bad? How was your martial arts practice?”

“It was okay,” said Yuan Lang with a smile. He then touched his stomach. “Mother, do you have anything to eat? I’m hungry.”

“Yes, I have some cake and jerky. You can eat those first. I’ll boil some hot water,” said Li Su. She went to light the stove and prepared the water.

Yuan Lang didn’t care. Although he thought that drinking cold water would be fine, his mother never let him drink raw water. He slowly got used to it. Even if he was thirsty now, he wouldn’t drink raw water.

After Yuan Lang was full, he patted his stomach, content.

Li Su looked at him with a smile, then suddenly realised something was wrong. “Lang’er, have you grown taller again?” He was taller now, and his appearance seemed to have changed a bit.

Yuan Lang smiled. “Mother, what did you find out? I’m practicing Growing Spring Arts. It is said that people who practice this will be immortal and their appearance won’t change. Their appearance and physical abilities will always stay at the peak of their life. I have only reached the second level now, so my appearance and body will change a bit. When I reach the fifth level, there won’t be any more changes. Mother, why don’t you practice it too? You are so good-looking. It would be a pity if you grew old,” Yuan Lang said earnestly. When master recommended this martial arts technique to him, the first thing he thought of was his mother. But, unfortunately, his mother did not know martial arts. So, he decided to practice the technique first, then teach his mother.

When the time came, the two of them will live forever, stay young, and be undefeated. How wonderful!
