Seeing that it was just a few birds flying up for no reason, Liu Xiaoyuan didn't pay much attention. Standing in front of Xiaoxin's grave, Liu Xiaoyuan remained silent for a long time.
Xiao Xin's grave is just a small mound of earth, without even a tombstone, and in just a few days, it has already been overgrown with weeds.
Liu Xiaoyuan was wondering whether he should erect a stone tablet for Xiaoxin.
After thinking about it, Liu Xiaoyuan decided to let it go. Xiaoxin was a quiet girl who just wanted to live a peaceful life, so he decided not to let anyone disturb her.
"Xiaoxin, I've come to see you!" Standing in front of Xiaoxin's grave, Liu Xiaoyuan finally spoke. He hadn't spoken before because he didn't know what to say.
"I don't know what you like to eat, and I didn't bring you anything, not even paper money. I hope you won't blame me," Liu Xiaoyuan said.
"I wonder how you're doing down there? Have you drunk the Meng Po soup and forgotten me? If you have, that's good. Forget all the unpleasant things in life and be reincarnated happily."
"After this visit, I don't know when I'll come to see you again. If you still remember me, you can visit me in a dream..."
Standing in front of Xiaoxin's grave, Liu Xiaoyuan began to talk to himself. As he spoke, images of Xiaoxin naturally appeared in his mind. Thinking about all the things he had done with Xiaoxin, Liu Xiaoyuan's eyes welled up with tears.
Liu Xiaoyuan sat down directly in front of Xiaoxin's grave without saying anything more, just sitting there quietly.
After a while, Liu Xiaoyuan spoke again, this time it was because he wanted to leave.
"Xiaoxin, I have to go now. I'll come see you again next time, though I don't know when." Liu Xiaoyuan said, standing up from the ground. He glanced at the little mound in front of him for a moment, then turned to leave.
However, at that moment, Liu Xiaoyuan suddenly noticed that someone was approaching, and there was more than one person.
Who is it? Why are they here in the middle of the night?
Liu Xiaoyuan stood still, wanting to see who was coming this way, what their intentions were, and whether they were targeting him.
Soon, several figures stopped in front of Liu Xiaoyuan. Seeing these three people stop in front of him, Liu Xiaoyuan knew that they had come for him.
Liu Xiaoyuan was very curious about the identities of this group of people. How did they know he was here tonight? What grudge did he have against them? Were they acting under someone else's orders, or were they targeting him specifically?
A series of questions swirled in Liu Xiaoyuan's mind. He looked at the three people and asked, "Who are you?"
One of the men standing in the middle said, "We're the ones who will take your life!"
With a faint smile, Liu Xiaoyuan said, "Many people want my life, but none of them have ever succeeded. Do you believe you will succeed tonight?"
The man on the right said, "Kid, don't be so arrogant. With the three of us here tonight, you're definitely going to die. If you have any last words, hurry up and say them, or there won't be any time left."
Liu Xiaoyuan smiled and said, "You should tell me your last words, otherwise there won't be time. By the way, tell me your employer quickly, maybe I can spare your lives."
Just as Liu Xiaoyuan finished speaking, several more people walked over. Soon, Liu Xiaoyuan could see their faces clearly, and one of them was Xiaoxin's maternal grandmother. No, strictly speaking, she was no longer Xiaoxin's maternal grandmother.
Upon seeing Ding Qingquan's wife, Liu Xiaoyuan knew that the Ding family was behind this. He hadn't expected the Ding family to be so clever; they knew he was coming to Xiaoxin's grave, so they had been keeping watch here for a while.
"Liu Xiaoyuan, do you still recognize me?" Ding Qingquan's wife asked viciously. She hated Liu Xiaoyuan with a vengeance. If it weren't for Liu Xiaoyuan, her husband wouldn't have died, her son wouldn't have died, and her grandson wouldn't have died.
Therefore, her hatred for Liu Xiaoyuan could not be washed away even if all the water in the world was poured out.
Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile, "We remember, we wouldn't forget. Aren't you Ding Qingquan's wife? By the way, have you finished Ding Qingquan's funeral?"
Ding Qingquan's wife said coldly, "My husband can only be buried when your head is returned."
"Mom, don't waste words with this brat. Just cut off his head to pay tribute to Father's spirit," said Ding Qingquan's eldest son, Ding Yiyang.
"Haha..." Liu Xiaoyuan suddenly burst into laughter, which startled the birds in the woods, causing them to flap their wings and fly away, breaking the silence of the night.
"Liu Xiaoyuan, what are you laughing at? You're about to die and you can still laugh?" Ding Qingquan's wife said through gritted teeth.
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "I'm laughing at your ignorance of death. I spared your Ding family last time, but instead of being grateful, you repaid kindness with enmity. Now it seems that I have no need to show you any mercy. Tonight, I will make your Ding family disappear."
"What arrogance!" Ding Yiyang roared. "Liu Xiaoyuan, tonight is your death day. Make your move!"
"Wait!" Liu Xiaoyuan suddenly called out.
Hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's words, Ding Yiyang thought Liu Xiaoyuan was scared and laughed smugly: "Liu Xiaoyuan, are you scared? Humph, let me tell you, even if you are scared now, it's no use, because today is your death day. We are going to use your head to pay tribute to my father."
Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile, "You really overestimate yourselves. The reason I asked you to wait a moment was because I didn't want your blood to stain Xiaoxin's place."
"What arrogance! I'll kill you right now!" Ding Yiyang was furious and immediately gave orders to the three people he had invited.
These three assassins were hired by the Ding family at great expense. They were all experts at the second level of the Innate Realm and knew how to use poison, so many experts at the third level of the Innate Realm had fallen at their hands.
The Ding family paid a heavy price to kill Liu Xiaoyuan, but they felt it was worth it to get rid of him.
At Ding Yiyang's command, the three assassins prepared to make their move. Liu Xiaoyuan coldly said, "It seems you three, who are only at the second level of the Innate Realm, are destined to live as wandering ghosts here."
"Haha..." the assassin in the middle said, "Kid, let me tell you the truth, the three of us brothers have stained our hands with the blood of countless experts at the third level of the Innate Realm. Tonight, you'll be another one."
"Oh, you're so confident?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked with a smile.
These three assassins may have their unique skills, but for Liu Xiaoyuan, no matter how powerful they are, dealing with them is a piece of cake.
"Hmph, you'll find out soon enough whether you're confident or not!" The assassin in the middle sneered, then waved his hand, giving the order to launch a general attack on Liu Xiaoyuan.
