guo huan almost died from the pain.

however, su mo would not let him die so easily.

su mo sealed his acupoints with sword qi. this way, he could live a little longer and hurt a little longer.

su mo walked towards him step by step, and the blood on the tip of his sword dripped to the ground.

su mo’s face was expressionless. “i don’t like killing. i don’t feel anything when i kill people.”

when he killed someone for the first time, he didn’t feel anything.

no matter how many people he killed, he still felt nothing.

however, this was the most terrifying.

how cold must one be to be indifferent to killing?

he was a lunatic!

he was a complete lunatic!

no, a lunatic still had some feelings. this man had nothing.

guo huan had always thought that he was the most special one, but after seeing su mo tonight, he realized what a true maniac was.

fear almost uncontrollablv surged in his heart. he collansed to the ground and

used his remaining right arm to drag his spasming body back bit by bit.

even though it was useless.

he was just instinctively afraid of the person in front of him.

this time, it was su mo’s turn to look down at him.

suddenly, su mo threw him a bottle of blood-staunching elixir.

guo huan looked at su mo with cold sweat, not understanding why su mo would give him this.

wasn’t he here to avenge qin canglan?

shouldn’t he have killed him?

or… did he want to capture him alive?

“i like to hunt,” su mo said seriously.

guo huan was stunned.

how did it get to hunting?

su mo said, “after applying the medication, i’ll let you go. i’ll follow you until i find the sect master of the white lotus society. if you’re caught by the officials of the imperial court halfway, i won’t save you.”

guo huan gritted his teeth and said, “i… won’t bring you to see the sect

master…”

su mo asked coldly, “do you have any other choice? or in other words, is there anyone else who dares to take you in?”

other than the white lotus society, where else could guo huan hide as the wanted criminal of the imperial court?

if guo huan wanted to live, he had to seek refuge with the sect master.

however, this way, he would definitely lead the way for su mo.

su mo said, “you can try to shake me off or kill yourself now. if you die, i won’t be able to track the sect master of the white lotus society through you. moreover, if i do, the first person i kill will be you. because at that time, you will be of no value.”

guo huan suddenly understood what su mo meant by hunting.

from this moment on, he was su mo’s prey. he could try to escape or call for help, but the hunter would never let him off.

su mo said calmly, “don’t disappoint me.”

at the imperial astronomy center, wei ting, who had been unconscious for four days and four nights, finally woke up.

but why was his head so dizzy? he felt like his brain was about to be scattered.

also, his entire body ached, as if he had been pressed down by a ghost.

indeed, he had been pressed down on the bed by ghosts. there was not just one ghost, but a total of three naughty little ghosts. wei ting got up, washed up, and went next door.

su cheng was talking to qin canglan.

qin canglan was getting better day by day and could manage to sit up. su cheng saw wei ting and said, “son-in-law! you’re awake!”

“dad,” wei ting greeted. his gaze landed on qin canglan’s face, and a trace of suspicion flashed across his eyes.

how long had he been asleep?

was the old protector duke already so energetic?

qin canglan glanced at wei ting and said to su cheng, “cheng’er, go and see if the medicine is ready.”

su cheng stood up. “okay, dad!”

wei ting was even more surprised.

su cheng even addressed qin canglan as his father.

what had he missed?

after su cheng left, wei ting came to the bed and sat down.

ever since the misunderstanding was resolved, the relationship between the two families had eased a lot, but it was not to the extent of loving each other. wei ting said politely, “your injuries are recovering well.”

“thanks to the children, i won’t die,” qin canglan said. “your mother came.”

the conversation between generals was always straightforward. there was no need to beat around the bush.

“is that so?” wei ting muttered.

qin canglan said, “i heard about your maternal grandfather too.”

“he’s not my grandfather.” wei ting refused to acknowledge him and would never acknowledge him.

qin canglan nodded in satisfaction. “that’s good. i was afraid that if you acknowledge him, it would be troublesome to kill him in the end.”

wei ting’s gaze was like a torch as he said, “i’ll avenge my grandfather and father.”

qin canglan said, “your grandfather’s death was indeed planned by him. there’s no evidence of your father’s… for the time being. he wanted your father’s life. as for your brothers… he should have made a mistake, but it also started because of him. it’s unforgivable.”

after talking too much, qin canglan was a little out of breath.

wei ting looked at the unfinished loquat on the table and took it over to continue peeling.

“the martial arts organization that your grandfather destroyed at the beginning of 30 years should be the predecessor of the white lotus society.

although i wasn’t there at that time, i heard a lot about it after that. the sword pavilion sounds like a righteous sect in the martial arts world, but they secretly opened salt shipments and mined iron ore, capturing many strong men to do manual labor. the local government and their family of officials risked their lives to enter the capital to report to the imperial court. only then did your grandfather comply with the decree to go south and lead troops to eliminate them.”

qin canglan spoke very slowly. after he finished speaking, wei ting finished peeling the loquat.

“can you eat?” wei ting asked him.

“i can eat a little,” qin canglan said.

wei ting really peeled… a little for him.

looking at the small loquat on the plate, qin canglan was dumbfounded. he swallowed and looked straight at the big loquat in wei ting’s hand. “this can’t be wasted.”

“oh.” wei ting threw the loquat into his mouth.

qin canglan was speechless.

wei ting said, “continue.”

qin canglan muttered, “but i want to beat you to death more now.”

the main reason was that qin canglan had secretly eaten it and could not let his precious granddaughter know. therefore, he could only swallow this loss.

qin canglan told him about the night of the bandit suppression.

there was nothing to elaborate on the process of elimination. wasn’t it easy for a dignified third-grade general to destroy a martial arts organization?

at the end, lord wu an bumped into mo guiyuan, who had rushed over with a sword.

lord wu an asked him who he was and why he was there.

mo guiyuan was the true master of the sword pavilion at that time. seeing that the sword pavilion had been destroyed and his son was dead, he was still a step too late.

in order to survive, he could only lie that his son had been killed by the sword pavilion a while ago. he was here tonight to die with the scum of the sword pavilion.

lord wu an said, “there’s no need. this sect has already been wiped out by the

imperial court. in the future, there will be no sword pavilion in the world.”

mo guiyuan burst into tears. “thank you, general wei, for avenging my son!”

at that moment, mo guiyuan planted the seed of hatred in his heart and wanted to make a comeback. he wanted to destroy lord wu an and the imperial court.

there was a stars pavilion in the imperial astronomical court. it was said that it was so famous because one could pluck stars from its highest point. on the seventh floor of the stars pavilion was an open-air star observation platform.

at this moment, sikong yun was standing on the stargazing platform with his hands behind his back. he looked up at the endless sky.

yu feng asked, “master, are you looking at the stars again?”

sikong yun said with interest, “interesting, really interesting. after changing the star’s fate, the purple emblem planet actually moved.”

yu feng was stunned.. “purple emblem planet, isn’t that… the emperor star?”
