53: Wait, I can still be saved, I don’t want to die yet!

Lu Xiaofeng said with a smile, "Old Nine, let's go. The sooner we clear this up, the sooner my innocence can be proven."

Lu Jiuyuan nodded, then gave the Three Friends of Winter a warning look before turning and leaving with Lu Xiaofeng.

In the wind and snow, their figures gradually faded into the distance.

Inside the carriage, the Three Friends of Winter exchanged glances, speechless for a long time.

"This Young Master... cannot be fought head-on," Lonely Pine sighed.

Han Mei clenched her fist. "Are we just going to let it go?"

Ku Zhu gave him a bitter look. "What else? Do you want to try his sword?"

Recalling the lightning-fast Killing Intent from earlier, all three couldn't help but feel their scalps tingle.

"Follow them," Lonely Pine finally said, "but keep your distance. The rakshasa token is important, but our three lives are more important. There's no need to provoke this bringer of bad luck."

The carriage slowly started, following a hundred zhang behind Lu Jiuyuan and Lu Xiaofeng.

At this moment, Lu Xiaofeng was leaning on Lu Jiuyuan's shoulder, grinning:

"Old Nine, your Killing Intent is getting more and more terrifying! But..."

He lowered his voice, "You deliberately killed someone in front of the Three Friends of Winter to establish your authority. Did you sense something?"

Lu Jiuyuan looked straight ahead and said indifferently, "The Western Demonic Cult's waters run deep. The death of Jade Rakshasa, the death of Yu Tianbao, the disappearance of the rakshasa token... Heh heh, there must be something fishy going on."

A glint flashed in Lu Xiaofeng's eyes. "You also think there's a problem?"

"Mm." Lu Jiuyuan nodded. "So, I'll first intimidate these three old fellows to prevent them from getting in the way."

Lu Xiaofeng smiled. "Indeed, with you here, things are much easier."

He took out a booklet from his Pregnant and handed it to Lu Jiuyuan: "This might still be useful to you.

Your Internal Skill is still quite lacking, but your Qinggong is almost superior to mine!

If it gets stronger, you might even be comparable to Chu Xiangshuai!"

"Almost?" Lu Jiuyuan raised an eyebrow.

"Just a tiny bit! That's my trump card, my lifeline!" Lu Xiaofeng said proudly, hands on his hips, incredibly arrogant.

Being able to surpass Old Nine in one aspect was indeed something to be proud of.

Lu Jiuyuan took the booklet Lu Xiaofeng handed him, flipped through a few pages, and then put it into his Pregnant.

The two walked all the way to the entrance of Jixiang Inn! This was the most expensive inn in the capital, and also offered the best service.

It was also an inn Lu Xiaofeng frequented. He generally wouldn't shortchange himself, drinking the best wine, staying in the best inns, and sleeping with the most beautiful women.

As soon as they entered, a waiter greeted them warmly.

"Young Master, you're back! Hehe, the woman who spent the night with you last time has been sent over. She's in your room.

She also sent you a gift, asking you to open it after you see the young lady."

As he spoke, he carried a small box from the counter. A faint fragrance emanated from the box.

"Hehehehe! Master Lu, please go inside and enjoy yourselves!" The waiter's smile was quite lewd.

Lu Xiaofeng took the box, sniffed, a strange scent, but didn't pay much attention. He carried the box and went upstairs with Lu Jiuyuan.

Pushing open the door, he saw Aunt Dingxiang lying on his bed. The room was also filled with the same strange scent as the box.

"You certainly have great capabilities, to actually be able to escape back," Lu Xiaofeng said with a smile.

Aunt Dingxiang was the wife of Flying Jade Tiger of Black Tiger Hall, and also the hall master of the Flying Pigeon Hall. After absconding with 300,000 taels of gold from Flying Jade Tiger, she eloped with a servant boy.

What man in this world could endure such humiliation? Being cuckolded by a lowly servant boy.

After that pretty boy was caught, he was dismembered and shipped back in a box.

Aunt Dingxiang, knowing she was being watched by her husband's men, actively seduced Lu Xiaofeng to sleep with him as a shield to save her life.

Just a few days ago, she was carelessly caught by Black Tiger Hall while Lu Xiaofeng was away and taken back.

That she could run back again was truly beyond Lu Xiaofeng's expectation.

Black Tiger Hall was also extraordinary. Although it was a newly emerging force, it had strong troops, ample provisions, and great influence.

Flying Jade Tiger was as famous as Jade Rakshasa of the Western Demonic Cult, known as "one Yu in the west, one Yu in the north; meet the two Yu, and the general trend is gone."

"It's not that she has great capabilities, but that the person who sent her has great capabilities."

Lu Jiuyuan said indifferently, "Although the fragrance covers the smell of blood, it cannot completely hide it. It's obvious that she is not having her period."

Seeing Aunt Dingxiang still lying motionless on the bed, Lu Xiaofeng's expression changed. He darted to the bedside, lifted the quilt, and looked.

He saw that Aunt Dingxiang's hands and feet had been severed. She lay blankly on the bed. The fragrance was medicine, and good medicine at that.

Lu Xiaofeng was stunned, then directly opened the box in his Pregnant. He saw a pair of jade hands and a pair of jade feet, meticulously cleaned and neatly arranged in the box.

"Stealing money, hands cut off; eloping, feet cut off. Her husband is truly clear about grievances and gratitude!"

Lu Xiaofeng's face was very grim. He was a man who cherished beauty and was soft-hearted, and he hated to see such things.

Although he had slept with someone else's wife... he still felt distressed.

Lu Jiuyuan extended his sword, picked out a letter from the box, and pinned it to the table, unfolding it.

"To Mr. Xiaofeng, respectfully:

My esteemed brother is a hero among the seas, a paragon of his generation. Your humble brother has admired you for years, often lamenting the vast distances that prevent me from gazing upon your esteemed countenance.

My foolish wife, Aunt Dingxiang, having earned your esteemed eye and being considered a fellow Daoist, I shall naturally present her to you with folded hands, to express my sincere intentions. I humbly request your kind acceptance.

Jade hands and fragrant feet, as an initial gift. Should we meet again in the future, I shall sweep the mat in the Red Medicine Pavilion and enjoy a night of heartfelt conversation with you.

Additionally: A letter of divorce is enclosed, which I hope you will accept!

Flying Jade Tiger!"

"What a letter, truly sincere, every word a pearl, slapping faces loudly, yet with reason and evidence! Lu Xiaofeng, what do you think?" Lu Jiuyuan asked:

"Especially those four words 'fellow Daoist,' they are extremely vivid!"

Lu Xiaofeng's face turned from green to white, then from white to red. He snatched the letter, read it again, and the paper in his hand crinkled with a cracking sound as he clenched it.

He suddenly let out a cold laugh, crumpling the letter into a ball. "What a Flying Jade Tiger, what a 'fellow Daoist'!"

Aunt Dingxiang on the bed finally reacted at this moment. Her hollow eyes looked at Lu Xiaofeng, and two lines of tears streamed down her face!

Her lips trembled. "Lu Xiaofeng... run!"

Lu Jiuyuan stood by, observing coldly. Adulterers were not worthy of pity.

Aunt Dingxiang's wounds were meticulously bandaged, using only the finest trauma medicine. Evidently, the other party did not intend for her to die immediately.

"Old Nine," Lu Xiaofeng suddenly turned, his eyes flashing with dangerous light. "What do you make of this?"

Lu Jiuyuan said indifferently, "A provocation. Flying Jade Tiger deliberately used this method to provoke you and lure you in."

"I know it's a provocation," Lu Xiaofeng gritted his teeth, "but I must go."

"For a woman?"

"For a 'person'!" Lu Xiaofeng said, enunciating each word. "No matter what she has done, or what mistakes she has made, she shouldn't have to suffer such inhuman torture!"

Lu Jiuyuan was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "What do you plan to do?"

Lu Xiaofeng took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. "It's rude not to reciprocate. I'm going to send him a gift!"

"What gift?"

"A fart swallow!"

"There's no point in her living like this; it will only be more painful. I'll help you send her on her way." Lu Jiuyuan raised his sword, pointing it at Aunt Dingxiang.

"Wait!" Aunt Dingxiang, who was crying silently on the bed, quickly spoke up. "There are some things I won't be able to rest in peace without saying. Let me finish."

"Speak!" Lu Jiuyuan prepared to stab her at any moment.
