Chapter 82

.

“You came to rescue me . I feel guilty,” said Su Jinlun .

Su Jinlun and Mu Yi were at the foot of the mountain . His expression was filled with regret . If he hadn’t trusted Zheng Zicong, none of this would have happened . Su Jinlun was convinced that Mu Yi had done a lot to save him even though he hadn’t see the battle .

“You’re alright . That’s the most important thing . If anything had happened to you, I would have never been able to look Mister Su in the eyes,” said Mu Yi .

He had done quite well in the battle, even though it had been difficult .

“Don’t say that, Master . I’m the only one to blame for this because of me you also got into trouble,” said Su Jinlun hastily .

If he hadn’t come to the main city of the county, none of this would have happened . Zheng Zicong and Xugui would’ve just formulated another plan to trap him . However, Mu Yi was only the first target, after killing him, they would have attacked the Su Clan .

Mu Yi had done well in the situation . He had gotten rid of Xugui and Zheng Zicong . The Little Frost’s fortified village wasn’t able to prevent him from doing what he came to do . He managed to rescue Su Jinlun without too much trouble .

Su Jinlun admired his grandfather and Mu Yi even more .

“I’m taking you back to the city . I’ll take care of Little Frost’s fortified village after,” said Mu Yi .

“Master…I want to say something but I’m not sure I should,” said Su Jinlun .

He hesitated, but when he heard that Mu Yi wasn’t going to let Little Frost’s fortified village off he felt that he needed to speak up . He didn’t harbor a grudge against Chief Qiu . Also, Li Hu hadn’t harmed him at all after having taken him to the fortified village .

He also knew that his grandfather had a plan for Little Frost’s fortified village .

“Just say it,” said Mu Yi .

“It’s something that really has nothing to do with you, but everything happened because of Li Hu . Could you please not kill Chief Qiu?” Su Jinlun said .

He felt embarrassed after asking .

“Why would you protect her? Do you like her?” Mu Yi asked .

Su Jinlun blushed .

“No . No, I’ve never even seen her . How could I like her?” Su Jinlun said .

He was trying to control the redness in his cheeks .

“It’s just that I’ve heard the elder say that Little Frost’s fortified village could be useful, especially Chief Qiu . She’s not inferior to men with her talent . She’s an expert in terms of ability, wisdom, astuteness and resourcefulness,” said Su Jinlun .

“Mister Su has that kind of thought…I see . Indeed, women like that are rare . It won’t be easy to make a person like her submit,” said Mu Yi .

He shook his head . He didn’t think anything good would come of Su Chongshan’s plan .

“In three days, I will go back to Little Frost Mountain . If she hands Li Hu over, I won’t kill her . However…” said Mu Yi .

He didn’t finish, but Su Jinlun understood what he was trying to say . He also understood that Mu Yi was already giving him face by doing so . He couldn’t ask more of him . Su Jinlun wasn’t shortsighted . He didn’t want there to be tension between them because of a woman he had never seen .

Mu Yi took Su Jinlun back to Lin’An County .

At the same time, the air was tense in Little Frost’s fortified village . It was nighttime, but there were many people sitting in the debate hall . The biggest chair in the front wasn’t occupied . There was a man on the left . He looked to be about 30 years old . He was tall, dignified and rather majestic .

He was nervous for some reason and was frowning . There were even more men in the chairs that followed . They all were thinking the same thing . They all looked furious . Li Hu looked at his comrades and listened to all their comments .

He held up a cold smile, but he was a bit scared . He wasn’t a coward because bandits couldn’t be cowards . They had to be brave . If he had been a coward, he wouldn’t have joined hands with Xugui . He wouldn’t have robbed seven wealthy families and plotted against Mu Yi .

However, he was really scared now . He already knew what had happened in the Ghost Village even though he wasn’t there . He had sent his best fighters . He hadn’t thought they would all be killed . Xugui, who he thought was almost invincible, had been killed too . The entire situation was frightening .

He had thought to just take Su Jinlun back but he was ambitious . He wanted Little Frost’s fortified village to rise . When he noticed that Su Jinlun had disappeared, he was relieved . Qiu Yuetong had already gotten involved if that was the case . She was extremely strong .

He didn’t know that Mu Yi had come and killed people . He didn’t know that Qiu Yuetong couldn’t compete with him either . Many of his friends had died too . They had died right there on the mountain . They had been killed in atrocious ways .

Su Jinlun had been rescued without anybody knowing about it as well . If things had ended there, he would have had no choice but to admit his mistakes . He offended someone he shouldn’t have offended . It would have been a good lesson for him . He would no longer have any chances to collect the silver either .

However, Mu Yi had said before he left that he would come back in three days . If Qiu Yuetong didn’t hand Li Hu over, he’d slaughter them all . It would be a complete extermination of the village . Li Hu was terrified of what would happen to him .

His comrades didn’t understand, but he knew how terrifying Mu Yi was . Qiu Yuetong couldn’t even compete with him . Could Little Frost’s fortified village resist much longer?

The problem was that the enemy had powers they didn’t understand . He had decided to join hands with Xugui back then because he had seen the zombie . He wouldn’t have thought things would get even more troublesome later .

Qiu Yuetong had to make a decision . He was convinced his comrades would die for him, but he also knew they couldn’t compete with Mu Yi . He could only rely on Qiu Yuetong . He knew her personality well . If he didn’t understood her, he wouldn’t have tried anything .

She would only hand him over if it was absolutely necessary . It didn’t mean that he had resigned himself to be killed . If he felt the danger was too great, he wouldn’t stay in Little Frost . The world was vast, finding a place to hide wouldn’t be difficult .

In the worst case scenario he would take his comrades and start a new group . There were problems everywhere . It was the perfect time to create a new faction . While Li Hu was thinking of solutions for himself, Qiu Yuetong was in her room . She was pacing . She didn’t know what to do .

Qiu Mei was lying on the bed . She was still unconscious . Qiu Zhu’s face had lost all color . She was standing beside the bed . Her eyes were fixed on Qiu Mei .
