Chapter 75

75. Chapter 75: Guard Dialogue, Cause of Parents’ Death

“Is this Happy Village?”

Lu Qing stood atop a large tree, gazing at the village ahead, a cryptic expression in his eyes.

Xiao Li stood on his shoulder, his dark figure almost blending into the shadows of the trees.

After leaving the market, Lu Qing, following Ma Gu’s instructions, quickly located a village nestled in a valley.

However, he didn’t act rashly, planning to wait until dark before sneaking in.

Silently, Lu Qing crept to a large tree not far from the village gate, climbed atop it, and lay in wait.

His ascension to the Minor Success stage of the Qi and Blood Realm had greatly enhanced his control over his body.

By deliberately concealing his aura, no one could detect him.

As for Xiao Li, that was even more obvious.

The Night Lizard was a natural hunter, far superior to humans in their ability to lurk.

If it truly hid, even from close proximity, it would be difficult to detect its presence.

If Lu Qing hadn’t known Xiao Li’s location, he might have been hidden from him.

Perhaps never expecting trouble, the guards at Happy Village were lax.

Only two men stood slouched at the village gate.

Lu Qing used his supernatural powers to investigate and discovered they were also peripheral members of the Black Wolf Gang, knowing he had found the right place.

He calmed himself, quietly lurking in the trees, waiting for nightfall.

“Damn, this is so boring! Why are we the only two guarding the gate again today?”

Lu Qing was about to close his eyes and rest, gathering his strength

when he heard one of the two guards spit indignantly.

“Stop talking nonsense! You and I are the least experienced in the village. Who else could it be if not us two?”

the other guard said lazily.

“Then why is that little rascal Ergouzi, who entered the village with us, living so comfortably here?”

the first guard remained unconvinced.

“That sister is now the most popular girl in our village. How can we compare?” the second guard continued.

“That bullshit top prostitute is nothing but a whore. She really thinks she’s a famous whore in the city’s brothel?” The first guard said disdainfully, “And I heard that Ergouzi’s sister was sold to our village by his parents. They used the money to build two new houses.”

“I didn’t expect that Ergouzi not only didn’t try to redeem his sister, but also came here to continue sucking her blood. He’s really not a human being! No, it should be his whole family, they’re not human beings!”

The second guard said nothing.

Although he was not a good person, he also felt that what Ergouzi and his family did was indeed inhumane.

Lu Qing listened quietly in the tree, without a sound.

Not knowing whether they were too disdainful to talk about Ergouzi or had lost interest in talking, the two guards suddenly fell silent and didn’t speak for a long time.

Just when Lu Qing thought they would remain silent.

Suddenly, the first guard spoke again: “Wang Fu is the best kid. He can follow the Fifth Master and the Seventh Master. No matter what kind of lucrative business there is, he can get a share. I heard that he went out with the Fifth Master and the Seventh Master early this morning. I’m afraid he has some good business again.”

Lu Qing’s heart moved, knowing that the Fifth Master and the Seventh Master the guard was talking about should be Han Wu and Zhao Xiong.

“I know about this. It seems that something went wrong with the previous incident in Jiuli Village, and the Fifth Master and others went to deal with it.” The second guard said.

“Jiuli Village, isn’t that the village where the big fool Lu Ming is?” The first guard asked curiously, “What went wrong there?”

“Didn’t the Fifth Master and others go to take Lu Ming’s land before? Unexpectedly, the villagers of Jiuli Village actually intercepted some silver and didn’t hand it over in full. Now, the Fifth Master found out.”

“Have those unruly people in Jiuli Village been so bold as to deceive Fifth Master?” the first guard’s eyes widened in shock. “Five Master will have to punish them severely now. He hates being deceived!”

“So Fifth Master and Seventh Master took Wang Fu and the others out this morning,” the second guard asked, puzzled. “Logically, they should have been back by now. Why haven’t they been seen yet?”

“Perhaps Fifth Master hasn’t had enough fun yet. You know, when Fifth Master is unhappy, he loves to torture people. He’s probably still in Jiuli Village punishing those unruly people!” the first guard said nonchalantly.

The second guard also thought so. Of the leaders, Fifth Master’s thoughts were always the most difficult to predict, and the most volatile.

If he returned late, there must be a reason, not something that these little minions could guess.

“Compared to this, I envy Wang Fu and the others. Since they are following Wu Ye and the others to Jiuli Village to call for justice, I am afraid they will be able to make a lot of money.”

“Unlike us, we are exposed to the wind and sun and have no benefits.” The first guard envied.

The second guard was silent.

How could he not envy them in his heart?

But what can he do? Who told them that they have no skills and are not strong, so Wu Ye looks down on them.

Lu Qing got a lot of information from listening to these conversations.

But when he heard the envy in the tone of the two people, he felt a little strange in his heart.

I wonder what expression these two people would have if they knew the current fate of Han Wu and the others.

The more they talked, the more sour they felt in their hearts, and they could not help but fell silent again.

But this time the silence did not last long, and the first guard could not stand the boredom anymore.

“You just said that Wu Ye and the others went to Jiuli Village because of Lu Ming, right?”

“I heard Wang Fu and the others mention it a few times, so it seems so.”

“Speaking of which, Lu Ming is truly foolish. He actually thought Wu Ye was trying to befriend him and do business with him, not realizing that what we in Happy Village were after was his family’s land and his beautiful wife,” the first guard scoffed.

“I heard that Wu Ye initially wanted to lure him into gambling, but Lu Ming was a stubborn person. He said that there were family rules that forbade gambling, so Wu Ye pretended to do business with him, and all that trouble was in vain,” the second guard said.

“What a shame! After all this effort, we only got a small piece of land. We finally managed to trick Lu Ming’s wife out, only to have her drown in the river,” the first guard lamented. “I heard Lu Ming’s wife was quite pretty. If she had come to our village, she’d have attracted many visitors. It’s a shame she drowned. Wang Fu and the others are so useless, they couldn’t even keep a woman under control!”

“That’s why Fifth Master is so angry this time. After all this hard work, we only got such a small piece of land, and those unruly people from Jiuli Village dared to intercept it. He’d be furious,” the second guard said.

“With Fifth Master’s personality, those unruly people from Jiuli Village are going to be in big trouble this time. I guess he’s having a good time venting his anger over there right now!” The first guard gloated.

Lu Qing, perched in the tree, listened quietly to the conversation.

He finally understood how Xiaoyan’s parents had been forced to death.

He also realized that the Black Wolf Gang members hadn’t told the truth before their deaths that morning.

Even these two gatekeepers knew the cause of death of Xiaoyan’s parents. It is conceivable that everyone in the Happy Village knew about this matter.

The crying and begging of those scum were just to distance themselves from the matter and hoped that Lu Qing would spare their lives at that time.

In the following time, Lu Qing continued to listen to the two guards chatting casually.

Through the information in their chat, he gradually realized how filthy this Happy Village was.

Listening to these conversations, the murderous intent in Lu Qing’s heart gradually rose.

Looking at the two guards below, his eyes slowly became cold.

Although these two people were only responsible for guarding the gate, Lu Qing knew from their conversation that these two guys were not good people either.

They did not go out to do evil, not because they were unwilling, but because they did not have the opportunity.

At this moment, Lu Qing hoped that the night would fall sooner.
