Mortal Mirror

Murong Tianxia glanced at Si Ning, knowing why she wanted to ask, but he said with regret, "Back then, Steward Feng traveled the world and brought you back, saying you were practically an orphan, both parents dead. It seemed you had an older brother, but he was sold off.

Alas, nothing is perfect in this world. The world is so vast, where could we find your brother? I asked Steward Feng where he bought you, and he said it was in Bitterwater County. We're heading there next, so we can take a look and see if we can find any news about you."

Si Ning shook her head, "As you said, unless we find the person who sold me back then. But Steward Feng didn't even glance at them, so he doesn't know who sold me. That makes it impossible to trace the origins.

Forget it, if we are destined to meet, we will. Let's not delay any longer. Is this cultivation method really that powerful?"

"Hmph, you don't even believe me? When have I ever deceived you, my dear?" Murong Tianxia snapped open his folding fan and walked away, chatting and laughing with Si Ning.

Li Ergou arrived at the Liu family compound. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw a familiar face. It was none other than Liu Teng, the eldest young master of the Liu family.

They were both stunned to see each other. Liu Teng said angrily, "What, haven't been beaten enough? Coming to my door looking for another beating?"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone came trotting up behind him, saying with a fawning expression, "Young Master, wait for me!" This person was none other than Huang Batian.

He was also stunned to see Li Ergou, not knowing what was happening.

The atmosphere was a bit tense. Li Ergou was considering how to answer when he heard the servant say, "Young Master, Miss Zhu Zhu invited him. Um, if it takes too long, Miss Zhu Zhu will get angry."

Liu Teng's expression changed several times, but he finally snorted coldly, "Brat, be smart. See Miss Zhu Zhu and then get lost."

Li Ergou naturally didn't care about his insults. To him, they were the mildest kind, not even one-tenth as bad as the landlady. He couldn't help but sigh that the landlady really knew how to curse.

But he made up his mind that when he became a martial master, he would settle accounts with them properly.

He calmly brushed past Liu Teng, following the servant. Liu Teng was going crazy because Li Ergou didn't seem to care about his words at all.

He suddenly threw a punch, smashing the gate to pieces, showing how hot his anger was.

He was so angry! This Li Ergou seemed invulnerable, and his skin was as thick as a wall. If it were someone else, they would have retorted or left in anger. But he was fine, not caring at all. He even suspected that this guy was stupid.

Seeing him so angry, Huang Batian immediately came up and said with a flattering expression, "Young Master, why bother getting angry with him? It's a matter of minutes to kill this kind of peasant."

Liu Teng looked at Huang Batian with a dark expression, "Isn't he from your family? Can't you deal with him?"

When he mentioned this, anger flashed in Huang Batian's eyes, "Alas, raising a tiger is asking for trouble. I didn't know this kid would become more and more powerful. Even I can't control him now. If this goes on, he will get out of control sooner or later.

You don't know how he treats me. He doesn't take me seriously at all now. I wanted to send him back to Wanglong Village, but the master of the martial hall went crazy and disagreed. He even told me that this kid was his source of income, and cutting off his income was like killing his parents. If I did that, I would be going against him.

Damn it, it really pissed me off. When I become a martial master, I'll see how I deal with Zhu Daqiang, that bastard."

Seeing Huang Batian like this, Liu Teng narrowed his eyes, a murderous intent flashing in them, "In that case, this kid must not be allowed to live. Why don't we set a trap and…"

As he said this, he gestured a killing motion with his hand.

Huang Batian was shocked. He didn't expect Liu Teng to hate Li Ergou so much. He was also surprised. Just because he couldn't beat him, was it necessary to be so ruthless?

Although Li Ergou was becoming more and more disobedient, his dog life was not important to him. But this kid could at least earn him a lot of money and was his cash cow. If he killed him, what would he rely on to make money? He hadn't thrown the money in the old man's face yet.

For a moment, he was conflicted and struggled inwardly.

Liu Teng seemed to see through Huang Batian's thoughts and put his arm around his shoulder, "How about this, to avoid your losses, I'll give you one hundred taels to find a way to get rid of him for me. Just looking at him makes me upset."

"One hundred taels!" Huang Batian was happy. Although this Ergouzi could make money for him, it wouldn't be long before he couldn't control him completely. If he really had one hundred taels, it wouldn't matter if he died.

Therefore, he couldn't help but reveal a treacherous smile, "I'll listen to Young Master. He's just a peasant, it's okay if he dies. Who would care about his life or death? It's just that this kid is too resistant to beatings. It's impossible for me to kill him alone. We need to think about it in the long term."

Liu Teng revealed a sinister smile, "Don't call me Young Master anymore, we are all brothers, call me Big Brother. This matter is easy to handle. When I figure out how to deal with him, you just listen to my instructions."

Huang Batian was overjoyed when he heard this and said with a flattering expression, "Okay, I'll listen to Big Brother."

Li Ergou naturally didn't know that someone was colluding and plotting to murder him in secret.

The servant pushed open the door of a small courtyard. The courtyard was quite quiet, with only a few unknown bird calls coming out.

Looking at the courtyard, there were many precious flowers and plants planted, including peonies full of bright red flowers, roses, and many flowers competing for beauty. The fragrance of flowers permeated the entire courtyard.

On a small cart, a woman in red was holding a crutch in her hand, patting the butterflies in the air. The butterflies flew here and there, making the woman have a great time.

Seeing this scene, Liu Ergou suddenly wanted to laugh. This Zhu Zhu, what is she like, and she still has the mind to do this.

"Zhu Zhu!" Li Ergou said.

The woman stopped her movements and looked at Li Ergou, immediately pouting her small mouth and saying angrily, "Hmph, Li Ergou, you are really something. I wasted my time living and dying with you. After coming back, you didn't even see me once. You are really not kind enough."

Li Ergou scratched his head and said, "Alas, you don't know how busy I have been these days. Besides, you didn't tell me where you live. Even if I wanted to find you, I couldn't."

Zhu Zhu was slightly stunned, and then patted her thigh, suddenly realizing, "My fault, my fault, those people were really something at the beginning. I couldn't see you after I turned my head. Uncle Qian was worried about my injury, so he quickly brought me back."

Li Ergou stepped forward and looked into her eyes, "How are you? Have you been better these days?"
