Xiang Sheng understood immediately and got up and followed him to the inner room.
The middle-aged cultivator turned around and glanced at Xiaoyue, then whispered, "I am Gong Wei, a guard of the Wang family, and that silly boy is my son, Gong Xing.
I'm used to being cautious, and I was quite negligent towards you these past two days. I hope you'll forgive me."
Xiang Sheng shook his head, "Senior Gong, you're too kind. You're only doing your job. How can I blame you?"
“Miss Shen is really reasonable.”
The middle-aged wandering cultivator sighed, "My master's family was wiped out in the past, so they had no choice but to entrust Xiaoyue to me. Now, I heard that my mother's family was also wiped out..."
Having said this, Gong Wei's eyes turned red and he stopped talking.
Xiang Sheng was silent for a moment, then spoke calmly, "Senior Gong, the world is a difficult place, especially for independent cultivators. Eight out of ten people are unfortunate. I think Miss Xiaoyue is not pitiful at all, as she has an elder like you to protect her.
It is important for people to be independent and clear-headed! Instead of worrying about it, it is better to turn grief and anger into motivation. As long as you are free to express gratitude and hatred, and your thoughts are clear, there will be no obstacles that you cannot overcome. "
When Gong Wei heard these words, he was immediately shocked. He watched Xiang Sheng leave and was unable to recover for a long time.
The tall and thin young man came over and saw Gong Wei with such a dazed expression. He was immediately puzzled and asked, "Dad, what are you doing here?"
Gong Wei regained consciousness and was immediately filled with emotion. "This Miss Shen's steadfastness in the Dao is truly unprecedented! If she hadn't perished here, she would have become a great figure in the future!"
"Dad, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Gong Xing couldn't help but laugh, "She's not even as advanced as you are, and she's a female cultivator, what great achievements can she possibly have?"
"What's wrong with female cultivators? You silly boy, if you could be half as good as Miss Shen, I would go and burn incense to my ancestors!"
Gong Wei slapped his son's head, full of disdain, "Hurry up and prepare something! We need it tonight."
"I know."
Gong Xing looked helpless and muttered quietly, "How can she be so powerful? I don't believe she can kill Xue Yunzi."
He turned around and walked out. When he passed Xiang Sheng, he paused slightly, snorted, and then walked away quickly.
Xiang Sheng looked puzzled, but didn't pay any attention to it.
…
Night fell in the blink of an eye.
Xiang Sheng woke up from his meditation, stood up, patted his clothes, and went out.
As soon as she left, Gong Wei and the other two came out from the inner room.
“Dad, is Miss Shen leaving now?”
Gong Xing looked confused. "I saw that she practiced all day and did nothing else."
"What do you know? This is called having a plan in mind."
Gong Wei whispered a warning, "Alright, hurry up and split up. You go to East City, and I'll go to West City. There will definitely be a lot of wandering cultivators watching the fun tonight, which will be a good opportunity for us to cover our tracks."
"Uncle Gong, I want to go too."
Xiaoyue's eyes were swollen, and she looked stubborn. "Xuanwang City isn't too dangerous. I can help and come back quickly."
Gong Wei looked at Xiaoyue's hopeful face, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Then you come with me, Ah Xing, you go to East City, remember not to stay too long, put it away and come back immediately, do you hear me?"
"clear."
Gong Xing waved his hand and turned into the night.
…
Sure enough, it started snowing again in Xuanwang City at night.
Heavy snow fell from the sky, quickly dyeing the roofs and roads in the city white, making the city even quieter.
Xiang Sheng stepped on the snow, leaving a row of clear footprints.
Her face was sullen as she flashed to the cave of a wandering cultivator who had caused trouble at the city gate yesterday and shouted impatiently, "Come out!"
When the wandering cultivator heard this voice, he was immediately startled and quickly dispersed the protective barrier, bowing and saying, "Greetings to Master Wan!"
Xiang Sheng snorted coldly, "Have you seen the remnants of the Lu family?"
"Reporting to the Master, no."
The wandering cultivator was sweating nervously. "After receiving the news the day before yesterday, I followed your instructions and stayed in the cave. I came back from the city gate square today and didn't see any suspicious people."
"waste!"
Xiang Sheng cursed angrily, and the casual cultivator shrank back, not daring to say anything more.
"That's all."
Xiang Sheng took a deep breath and regained his composure, "I'll go look somewhere else."
Upon hearing this, the wandering cultivator heaved a sigh of relief and quickly bowed, "Farewell..."
puff!
A magical dagger pierced into the cultivator's eyebrows in a flash, instantly turning his brain into a ball of minced meat.
The wandering cultivator was bleeding from all seven orifices, his eyes were bloodshot, "Lu..."
Xiang Sheng stepped forward and violently pulled out the spiritual dagger. In an instant, red and white splashed everywhere. The cultivator twitched violently all over and fell to the ground, dead with his eyes open.
After killing one person, Xiang Sheng showed no reluctance. He wiped the bloody dagger on the casual cultivator and turned around to leave.
Gong Xing, who was hiding in the dark, happened to witness the whole process. He was stunned with his mouth wide open, unable to close it for a long time.
