Upon hearing this, Xia Xue slightly raised her eyelids. Wherever her gaze fell, Jiang Qin looked like a fairy in a painting, causing her to involuntarily stagger back two steps.
It wasn't that they were afraid of her stunning beauty, but rather the chilling aura emanating from the heavy machine gun on Jiang Qin's shoulder that pierced their hearts and sent shivers down their spines.
As the crowd slowly rose, a horrifying scene quietly unfolded—the gaps between the people were scattered with the afterimages of machine gun fire, as if every inch of space echoed with the mournful cries of death.
At this moment, Xia Xue suddenly realized why everyone revered Wu Tian like a god and feared him like a tiger—it was all because of the woman in front of her.
She planted the seeds of fear in people's hearts through her killings, making them controlled by her fear.
In order to protect themselves, the major families placed their hopes on Wu Tian, hoping to get a chance to survive from this cold-faced demon. Therefore, they tried their best to please Xia Xue, and the underlying intentions were self-evident.
Xia Xue took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. A forced but gentle smile appeared on her lips as she spoke softly, "You... are actually Brother Tian's senior sister?"
His words conveyed both reverence and a hint of curiosity.
Jiang Qin smiled leisurely, leaning the machine gun lightly against her shoulder, her tone carrying a hint of unruliness and boldness: "That's right, I am his second senior sister, known in the martial arts world as 'Madwoman' Jiang Qin."
After he finished speaking, the word "madman" exploded in Xia Xue's heart like a thunderclap, and a look of disbelief and fear flashed in her eyes.
"Mad...madwoman?" Xia Xue murmured to herself, wondering how a woman in this world could be so self-proclaimed and so open and unrestrained.
Seeing this, Wu Tian intervened at the right time, smiling and saying, "Second Senior Sister, your reputation is widespread, don't frighten Xiaoxue." His words were full of tenderness and doting.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Qin feigned displeasure, parted her cherry lips slightly, and said reproachfully, "Hmph, now that you have a wife, you've forgotten how good your senior sister was. Fine, how could I disturb your private time? I'll leave right away."
Wu Tian stood there stunned, then quickly caught up, explaining apologetically, "Senior Sister, please don't be angry, I didn't mean anything by it..."
His face was filled with reluctance and self-blame for his departing senior sister.
Seeing this, Jiang Qin couldn't help but chuckle. She gently patted Wu Tianzhi's shoulder, her eyes full of doting affection: "You little rascal, how could your senior sister really hold a grudge against you? You know I'm a madman, and there are still many crazy things waiting for me to do. This place is not a place to stay for long."
Seeing the gentle smile bloom on Jiang Qin's face, the burden in Wu Tian's heart quietly dissipated. He then smiled and said, "Since Senior Sister is determined to leave, I can't force her to stay. If there is any need for her in the future, Wu Tian will definitely do his duty and lend a helping hand."
"Is that true?" Jiang Qin's eyes gleamed with cunning as she whispered in Wu Tian's ear, "I want to be your wife!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Tian's eyes widened in shock, and he was almost speechless.
He never expected that Jiang Qin would make such a joke at him. He should know that he was already married to Xia Xue, and that there was no room for anyone else in his heart but Xia Xue.
Jiang Qin smiled as she gazed at Wu Tian's ever-changing expression, then burst into laughter and patted his shoulder heartily: "In the end, you still won't lend a helping hand when it matters most. Never mind, we'll talk about this later. The most urgent thing is that Yun'er's illness can't be delayed. If you dare to forget, she will truly be beyond saving."
After speaking, she left behind a radiant smile, and with the roar of her motorcycle, she transformed into a whirlwind figure, gradually fading from everyone's sight.
Xia Xue gently withdrew her gaze from the direction Jiang Qin had gone and turned it to Jin Lingyun, her eyes filled with worry: "Sister Jin, are you sick? Is it serious?"
Faced with this sudden concern, Jin Lingyun felt a mix of emotions, and a sense of guilt welled up within her. She lowered her head, first shaking her head resolutely, and then, as if drawn by some force, she nodded reluctantly.
She knew full well that Jiang Qin's so-called cure was actually a lie fabricated to obtain Wu Tian's essence.
This secret made her feel guilty towards Xia Xue, but her desire for that power was equally real and urgent.
Xia Xue was completely bewildered by Jin Lingyun's contradictory reaction, and then earnestly said to Wu Tian, "Brother Tian, if you can cure Sister Jin's illness, please be sure to lend a helping hand."
Wu Tian nodded firmly: "Of course, my senior sister's affairs are my affairs. No matter what the illness is, I will do my best."
"What illness are you treating!" Before Wu Tian could finish speaking, Yin Jing couldn't help but interrupt, her tone clearly showing dissatisfaction: "Yun'er is perfectly healthy, you're the one who's sick..."
Jin Lingyun hurriedly explained, "Mom, I...I am indeed sick, and...only my junior brother can cure me..."
“Exactly! You are ill, but it’s just lovesickness!” Yin Jing retorted angrily, her tone leaving no room for argument: “But as long as I am alive, you can only marry Ye Chuan.”
After saying that, she grabbed Jin Lingyun without another word and hurriedly left.
Dragged along by Yin Jing, Jin Lingyun staggered, each step filled with reluctance. She was strong enough to break free, but she knew that struggling would only plunge Yin Jing into an abyss of despair.
So she had no choice but to call out to Wu Tian loudly, "Junior brother, when you get to Rongzhou City, you must come to the Jin family to find me."
Wu Tian nodded slightly, his eyes flashing with determination: "Don't worry, Senior Sister, I will definitely come to see you when I have time."
Upon hearing this, Xia Xue's eyes flashed with a hint of confusion, and she asked softly, "Brother Tian, are you going to Rongzhou?"
Wu Tian nodded firmly, his words revealing an indomitable will: "That's right! Perhaps only the Lord of the Dragon Capture Hall knows the truth about the Wu family's destruction back then. I'm going to ask him for clarification."
Xia Xue's eyes were full of worry, but she knew she couldn't stop him. She could only gently remind him, "Brother Tian, the hatred of the Wu family is heavier than Mount Tai. Although I can't stop you, the Dragon Capture Hall is unfathomable, and the Hall Master is probably even more difficult to deal with. You must be careful."
Wu Tian gently grasped his hand, conveying warmth: "Please believe me, for your sake, for our future, I will definitely be safe and sound."
Upon hearing this, Xia Xue smiled happily and said with a firm gaze, "I have never doubted Brother Tian's words. I will wait here for your victorious return."
Wu Tian was slightly surprised: "You're not coming with me?"
Xia Xue insisted on going to the Sun family's trip back then, and he thought that Xia Xue would also ask to go with him on this trip to Rongzhou.
Xia Xue's decision puzzled him.
Xia Xue shook her head firmly, her voice filled with deep affection yet leaving no room for doubt: "Traveling with you would not only be a burden, but also a help. Besides, Grandma is with me. Where I feel at peace is your destination. You just need to remember that without you, I, Xia Xue, will not live alone."
Although her voice was not loud, her words were resolute, as if she were declaring her vow to heaven and earth.
A warm feeling welled up in Wu Tian's heart. Since Xia Xue was unwilling to come along, he couldn't force her.
Moreover, he felt more at ease knowing that Xia Xue was staying in Linhai City. With his influence in Linhai City, as long as he was safe, no one would dare to have any ill intentions towards Xia Xue.
He held Xia Xue's hand tightly and solemnly promised, "Xiao Xue, once I eliminate the mastermind behind the destruction of the Wu family, I will always stay by your side and never leave you."
