Chapter 44: To Let Go of Hatred in the Heart, One Has to Draw His Sword and Kill the Enemy!
Late in the middle of the night, the streets of Green Wheat Town were starting to empty as many shops were closed for the day. However, Yuelai Hotel was still brightly lit.
Xie Wendong sat in a chair. The dead body of his son, Xie Hu, was placed right in front of him.
“Who did this?” Xie Wendong’s eyes were bloodshot and teary, and his face was filled with rage.
“Old Master, it was someone name Xue An,” the lobby manager hurriedly replied.
“Xue An?” Xie Wendong frowned. He then turned to look at Xue Lan’s parents, who were kneeling to his side.
“Xue Guo, you and your Xue family must think you’re quite gutsy,” Xue Wendong said in a threatening voice.
Xue Guo kept quiet but Xue Lan’s mother, Li Hongyan, was already bawling her eyes out. She began to kowtow to Xie Wendong so passionately that her forehead slammed against the floor.
“Old Master Xie, please spare our lives. We really don’t know where Xue An is! Even our daughter has been abducted by that bastard. Keeping us here won’t do anything to help the situation at all.”
Xie Wendong was even more enraged when he heard this. “I don’t believe you! Xue An is your nephew!”
Li Hongyan looked at Xue Guo and how he was keeping his head lowered in silence. She was annoyed by his unresponsiveness and it enraged her further. She blamed him for all their misfortunes. She pointed accusingly at Xue Guo and cursed him. “It’s all your fault! Everyone from your family is useless! Xue An got into so much trouble as soon as he came back, and then he simply left without doing anything to cover up his mess. Now he’s gotten us in this mess and you still want to protect him!”
Xie Wendong scoffed angrily. “Enough. Stop putting on a show here. Since both of you claim to know nothing, it seems that you with be joining my dead son in a few minutes. Or you can just tell me where Xue An is. I don’t believe he can make it out of Green Wheat Town so quickly.”
Xie Wendong was hell-bent on revenge.
Xie Hu was his only child and he was murdered in cold blood. To make matters worse, he was murdered by someone from the Xue family, whom Xie Wendong had always despised.
This was unacceptable.
In his capacity as the Big Brother of Green Wheat Town and the neighboring areas within a hundred-mile radius, Xie Wendong had the power to place a bounty on Xue An’s head. He spread the word that anyone who could catch Xue An would be rewarded with one hundred thousand dollars!
Xie Wendong was convinced that Xue An would still be hanging around in the area. He could not have gone too far.
As soon as he was caught, Xie Wendong was prepared to slice Xue An’s chest open and cut out his heart. This is the revenge that his son deserves.
Simply thinking about this filled Xie Wendon with rage and murderous intent. He had a crazy look in his eyes.
Just then, two people walked through the doors and entered the hotel.
It was an old man and a young girl.
They were Song Yi and Xue Lan.
The moment the two of them appeared, the atmosphere in the hall immediately changed.
Xue Guo and Li Hongyan caught sight of their daughter.
Xue Guo shouted anxiously, “Lan’er, run!”
But even before he could finish speaking, a lackey stepped forth and slapped Xue Guo twice to shut him up. Another lackey ran to the hotel door to block the exit.
Song Yi was startled to see what was happening, but he quickly regained his bearings.
“Dare I ask who this old gentleman is? Why are you stopping us? And also, why are you taking Miss Lan’er’s parents captive?”
Xie Wendong cast a glance at Song Yi, then with a sneer, he said, “A life for a life. A debt must always be paid back. My son was killed by your men and I will not rest until I have an explanation. Men, tie them up!”
A few underlings rushed forward and prepared to tie them up. Song Yi however, could not help but start to feel his anger rising.
He was, after all, a renowned Fengshui master of a certain region. Being a respected fellow meant that he had never received such treatment before. Without holding back, he made his anger known. “My friend, you have to think clearly. You can’t just capture and kidnap anyone you like. There are consequences to bear.”
Xie Wendong dismissed the warning without a second thought. “Here in Green Wheat Town, I fear no consequences!”
Though Song Yi was also considered a cultivator himself, he specialized in studying the secret spells of Fengshui. The strength of his fists and feet were considered normal, and he did not have powerful punches or strong kicks. It was not long before he found himself pinned to the ground.
Once he was incapacitated, some of Xie Wendong’s lackeys started to make their moves on Xue Lan.
Song Yi shouted, “I’ll give you all a piece of advice. If you still want to stay alive, it’s best you don’t touch this girl.”
“What do you mean?”
“Oh, you can’t even begin to imagine the type of person who has taken her under his protection.”
Song Yi’s words caused the lackeys to hesitate. Xie Wendong, on the other hand, was not concerned with these empty threats.
“What are you doing? You’re still trying to make a fool of me? I’ve done my background research. I know that this little girl is as blank as a white sheet of paper. Apart from Xue An, who else does she know?”
“That’s who I am talking about! The great Mr. Xue. He can be quite a terror, and I’m pretty sure it’s not something any of you can even imagine,” Song Yi whispered.
Hearing his words, Xie Wendong and his group of underlings burst out laughing.
“Xue An? A terror? Are you kidding me? I know his parents. Their entire family, including their ancestors, are all good-for-nothings. And you are actually saying that he has powers that are beyond our imagination. That is the most ridiculous thing I can think of!”
A faint voice interrupted the goings-on. “Is that so? Is that really so funny?” Accompanying the voice was a man who slowly walked into the room.
The laughter came to an abrupt stop.
Because the figure that came in was a handsome man with a tall and strong physique.
And behind him were two identical-looking little girls who were dressed in the exact same clothes.
Who else could it be but Xue An and his daughters?
Xie Wendong stared at Xue An with cold and vicious eyes. Then he stood up slowly and said with a sneer, “Just as I thought. You do have some guts in you, actually daring to show up here in search of your doom.”
Xue Lan felt a little worried. She shouted a warning. “Brother An…”
Xue An smiled and signaled to her that he was fine. Then he looked at Xie Wendong. After a while, he said, “It’s been so many years and you’re actually still alive?”
“What do you mean?”
Xue An smiled faintly and said, “What I meant was, you’re still alive. That’s simply wonderful!”
Up till now, Xue An could still remember how his parents were bullied by this burly old man when he was a child.
Xue An has assumed that this old man would be dead by now since so many years had passed. He did not expect him to still be alive and evidently, in the pink of health at that.
Naturally, Xue An felt happy to see him alive. But only because there was nothing more exhilarating than slaying one’s enemy by one’s own hand.
To let go of hatred in the heart, one had to draw his sword and kill the enemy!
Back when he was studying to become a Sage, he had to learn to overcome his personal demons to gain enlightenment. To do this, he had expertly wielded blade after blade just to cut and sever them off by himself.
Of course, Xie Wendong did not understand what he meant and thought that Xue An was trying to please him. He could not help sneering.
“It’s pointless. Today, you are certainly going to meet your doom!”
As this exchange was going on Li Hongyan could not hold back. She started to yell and swear at Xue An.
“This is all your fault! You are such a troublemaker! You’ve brought us so much trouble and you’ve even dragged us and made us suffer alongside you. I’ve always said that we would all be better off if you were dead. I wish you had never come back at all! You people from the Xue family are…”
Xue An gave her a strange look that made her stop speaking immediately.
Li Hongyan had never seen such a terrifying look in anyone’s eyes before. It was like her soul had been locked up. Naturally, she was not able to continue speaking the words that she had intended to say.
“You! You killed my son,” Xie Wendong said, interrupting the commotion. “So now I’m going to kill you. That’s fair, right?”
Xue An simply nodded. “Fair enough!”
“Very well, just remember that when you’re suffering in Hell, you can’t blame me for what is about to happen to you.” With that, Xie Wendong pulled out a gun and aimed it right at Xue An. His face bore a hideously ferocious look.
The appearance of the gun was a surprise to everyone there.
Everyone but Xue An. There was a trace of mockery in the smile that appeared on his face.

Xie Wendong was just about to pull the trigger.
Suddenly, the headlights of a car shone into the room and temporarily blinded everyone. Then, a young lady dressed in beautiful clothes walked in briskly.
At the sight of her, Xie Wendong, who was originally so arrogant and brutal, suddenly became a sniveling fool.
“Great Mistress Qin?”
