MSSU Chapter 14: The Grim Consequences
"Why is Luo Feng injured? What exactly happened when you went out?"
At the Gu family villa, Gu Grandpa and Gu Qingyun rushed over upon hearing the news, but they were stopped at the door by Gu Xuexian who was guarding outside.
"Grandpa, Dad, you can't go in now. Second sister is helping Xiaofeng with his injuries. I'll tell you the details later," Gu Xuexian said with clenched fists, her face full of worry, as she glanced towards the closed door.
Inside the room, Murong Xiaoxiao had already stopped the bleeding for Luo Feng, but she was sweating profusely.
It wasn't because the surgery was particularly difficult, but because Murong Xiaoxiao was under immense pressure.
Opening Luo Feng's collar, Gu Xuexian breathed a sigh of relief.
Those blood-red tattoos had disappeared without a trace at some point. But Murong Xiaoxiao knew that as long as Luo Feng lost control of his emotions again, "they" would reappear.
It was a curse, a curse that came with Luo Feng when he entered this world.
At the same time, it was Luo Feng's secret, known only to the reclusive old man and Murong Xiaoxiao.
After composing herself, Murong Xiaoxiao pushed open the door and invited Gu Grandpa and his son into the room, then pulled Gu Xuexian to a secluded place.
"What illness does Xiaofeng have, and why did he turn into a wild beast?" Gu Xuexian asked.
"In a sense, this is an inherited disease," Murong Xiaoxiao said calmly. "I'm sorry we haven't told everyone about it, because this inherited disease is related to Xiaofeng's origins."
"Origins? What origins does Xiaofeng have? Wasn't he a child picked up by Master in the Wild Boar Forest?"
"That was a lie," Murong Xiaoxiao said, hugging her knees and leaning against a stone pillar, her deep features illuminated by the moonlight.
"Although I don't know Xiaofeng's true origins, I can sense from Master that Xiaofeng's family background must be extraordinary, because this inherited disease only appears in descendants with powerful genes."
"Often, when emotions are out of control, this inherited disease acts like boiling water, turning the host into a simple killing machine."
"How could this be!" Gu Xuexian covered her mouth in astonishment, her eyes already moist.
"So, now you understand why Master never let Xiaofeng leave the mountain for so many years, don't you?"
"Then why did he suddenly let Xiaofeng leave the mountain now?"
Murong Xiaoxiao sighed, "That was Master's decision. I don't know why, but there must be his reasons."
Luo Feng was indeed very strong, his talent was truly terrifying.
But the old man in the deep mountains had always instilled in Luo Feng the idea that he was weak, telling him that he wasn't proficient in any of the seven ultimate skills, when in fact he had already mastered them all.
This was because the old man feared that Luo Feng would become ruthless and lose his sanity.
Gu Xuexian gradually regained her composure. "So, you suddenly came to Longcheng today because..."
"Master contacted me actively. He asked me to come and protect Xiaofeng, fearing that his illness would relapse. As a result, on the first day I arrived, I saw the outcome I didn't want to see."
"Damn the Li family!" Gu Xuexian's beautiful eyes were filled with anger. "I won't let them off so easily!"
Late at night.
Luo Feng had a dream.
He dreamed that a woman cold-bloodedly threw him to the ground, accusing him bitterly of why he was so weak.
"Your veins flow with his blood, but why are you so ugly? It's because of your weakness that the man's attention never stays on me for a moment."
"You ruined my happiness, you ruined my love, you're not worthy of being my son, and even less worthy of being his son. You deserve to die!"
Luo Feng slowly opened his eyes, surprised to find tears streaming down his face.
"Why am I so weak? If I weren't weak, he wouldn't lack a mother's love, a father's love, and even more, the warmth of a family," Luo Feng muttered to himself as he looked out at the desolate moonlight.
"The path of the strong is destined to be full of thorns, Young Master," just then, a shadow appeared again outside the balcony.
Luo Feng didn't pay attention, asking, "Am I the least talented among the descendants of that man?"
"It's hard to say," the shadow deliberately avoided, only saying, "But without a doubt, your brothers and sisters are all formidable, especially your eldest brother."
In the shadow's mind, the image of that young man appeared. When he first saw the young man, it was as if he was seeing his father.
Luo Feng fell silent, then after a long while, he asked again, "Are you wasting your talent by following me? You should leave. There's no hope for you with me. I'm weak, so I just want to follow Master and my senior sisters to live an ordinary life."
"Believe in yourself, and you know very well, this is not what you want," the shadow said earnestly.
"You can't deceive yourself either. You seem indifferent to everything, but I've been watching you grow up in secret. I know you very well. In fact, you want to prove yourself like your mother," the shadow continued.
"Prove myself like her?" Luo Feng asked.
"Prove that you're not worthless, prove that you can earn her maternal love."
"Shut up!" Luo Feng roared as if his heart had been struck.
"What's wrong with Xiaofeng? Did he have another episode?" Just then, Gu Xuexian heard Luo Feng's voice and quickly pushed open the door.
"Seventh Senior Sister?! You're not asleep yet," Luo Feng instantly transformed back into that carefree, harmless, and innocent junior brother.
There was no trace of his previous depth.
"I can't sleep when you're injured like this," Gu Xuexian said.
"I'm fine, Seventh Senior Sister, look, I'm as strong as a dragon and fierce as a tiger," Luo Feng casually touched his injured right arm.
Surprisingly, he indeed seemed fine, just feeling some pain. This was really strange.
"Don't move around, rest well. The Li family's grudge, Second Senior Sister has already avenged for you. Trust me, after tomorrow, the Li family will disappear from Longcheng forever and won't pose any threat to you," Gu Xuexian said coldly.
...
The Li family.
After receiving a phone call, Li Tianchen's face turned pale, and he sat down heavily on the sofa.
"Everyone is dead?" Li Tianchen was sweating profusely, his face full of disbelief.
Those killers were prepared to deal with the Gu family, but now he couldn't believe that they were all dead.
What happened during this time?
"That kid's luck is really something," Li Tianchen said unwillingly. "If it weren't for him, all my plans would have gone smoothly."
His original plan was to use those killers to eliminate the Gu family.
But now, it seemed that all his dreams had turned into bubbles.
It wouldn't be long before the Gu family discovered his ambitions and sent someone to deal with him.
As he spoke, the door was suddenly pushed open with a bang, and several of Li family's bodyguards flew in, screaming in agony.
Then, several big shots from Longcheng walked in with a grim expression.
"Li Tianchen, you're quite daring. How come I didn't notice your wolf-like ambition before!" Li Tianchen stood up abruptly, looking at the four people in front of him in astonishment, each of whom was on par with the Gu family.
"Four seniors, why are you here?" Li Tianchen was puzzled.
He would never believe that the Gu family could invite these four big shots to come forward, and the Gu family didn't have the need to deal with him.
"You hurt my junior brother. What do you say?" At this moment, Murong Xiaoxiao walked in from outside indifferently. "You ungrateful scum, you've made a move against my brother several times. Do you really think I, his sister, am just a decoration?"
"Who are you?" Li Tianchen was taken aback.
Surprised that this stunningly beautiful woman was the mastermind behind the four big shots from Longcheng?!
Murong Xiaoxiao snorted, "From the Imperial Capital, Bai Cao Tang's Murong Xiaoxiao."
