Chapter 414 - 414 Regretful Death

414 Regretful Death

Lu Yao, who was shocked by the man’s sudden appearance, immediately pulled out her soft sword. After Deng Jiangming’s body fell to the ground, Deng Chengxi ran over in a panic and hugged her fallen brother. She was completely stunned and couldn’t believe what she was seeing. “Brother! Why… don’t…”

Everyone was shocked by this change in situation.

Xu Qing didn’t have time to think about it. She hurriedly rushed over to stop the bleeding for Deng Jiangming. Deng Jiangming was so good at martial arts and had such deep internal energy, so he should be fine! However, when she checked the wound, she realized that Deng Jiangming had been stabbed in the heart and she couldn’t stop the bleeding at all! Xu Qing was completely flustered. How should she explain it to Qiao Yanhui…

Deng Jiangming opened his mouth, and blood flowed out. He barely had time to say anything. His heart was stabbed, and when the knife was pulled out, all the blood in his body started gushing out. He held his sister’s hand tightly, and he vomited blood with every word he spoke. “You have… to live… on…”

Deng Jiangming died with grievances. There were still many things he had not done. He had not avenged his sister and had not… awaited her. It was a pity that their meeting had become a farewell. However, he suddenly felt relieved at the last moment. Perhaps he was destined to be unable to marry his lover. This way, she didn’t have to see her death, nor would she be sad over it. However, it was a pity that they would never meet again…

“Brother? You’re joking, right? How could you…” As Deng Chengxi hugged Deng Jiangming’s corpse tightly, she lost her rationality. She didn’t believe that her brother had died just like that. How was that possible? He was so outstanding, smart, and rational. It was impossible. They had not even talked things out properly. Ever since the last incident, she had been cold towards her brother. All these years, because she had been pursuing Yi Chulin, she had rarely paid attention to her brother and had placed the burden of the family’s matters all on her brother. For her entire life, she had always made her brother worry about her, but in the end, her brother actually died for her…

After Xu Qing felt Deng Jiangming’s pulse and confirmed that he was dead, her hands started trembling. She slowly turned around and looked at Lu Yao in disbelief as she said, “What did you do? He’s your brother’s best friend! They grew up together…”

Lu Yao had killed countless people, but for the first time, she felt an inexplicable sense of panic. She was helpless under Xu Qing’s gaze and defended herself, “I… I didn’t intend to kill him… I just wanted to teach Deng Chengxi a lesson. I just wanted to injure her a little, but this man suddenly rushed towards my sword… I… I don’t have a brother… You…” Lu Yao was very flustered and felt that Xu Qing was talking nonsense. She was at a loss because she didn’t intend to kill Deng Chengxi. She only wanted to teach her a lesson. Also, what brother? Now, her rationality returned and she looked at Zhuo Wuyou helplessly. Xu Qing seemed to have suffered a huge blow, so would her master chase her away?

“Qiao Yanhui is indeed your brother, and so is the current emperor of the Ancient Kingdom. The three of you are siblings. I only found out recently…” Zhuo Wuyou frowned. He had wanted to use this information to his advantage, but he didn’t expect such an accident to happen today. Qiao Yanhui was ruthless and heartless. His only gentleness was reserved for Xu Qing. However, he had lived in the Ancient Kingdom for so many years, so he knew that Qiao Yanhui had very few friends, but he cared a great deal about them.

One was his biological sister with no emotional bond with him, and the other was his buddy who had grown up with him. Zhuo Wuyou felt that Qiao Yanhui might kill Lu Yao with a single palm strike at this moment, so he pulled Lu Yao and was about to leave. This was Qiao Yanhui’s territory. If they really fought, he and Lu Yao might not have a chance of winning.

However, how could Deng Chengxi let them leave just like that? She didn’t care who this woman was. She had first insulted her and then killed her brother. Even if they had to chase her to the ends of the earth, the Deng family wouldn’t let this woman off.

However, since such a big incident had happened here, Qiao Yanhui and the others also received the news. It was mainly because Deng Chengxi’s miserable cries… sounded especially loud in the middle of the night.

When Hua Yuncheng rushed over with Qiao Yanhui, they happened to block Zhuo Wuyou and the others.

“Can anyone tell me what happened? What happened to Deng Jiangming? Is he playing dead with me?” Hua Yuncheng’s expression was no longer as cheeky as before, and his expression was terrifyingly sinister. He walked over step by step as he asked Deng Chengxi and Xu Qing. He even turned around and asked Qiao Yanhui, but he didn’t dare to look at Deng Jiangming’s corpse. It was as if as long as he didn’t look, he could fool himself into thinking that Deng Jiangming wasn’t dead!
