Chapter 169 Disrupted Peace.
Chapter 169 Disrupted Peace.
Lu Xiuying raised her head from the corpse of the third pillar and looked at Yu Yize who was eyeing her eagerly, she stared at the black mist that was curling around the back of his neck almost as if a shadowy hand was reaching out to choke his neck and tilted her head, just as expressionless as ever. " I think you should be more worried about whether you will be able to stay alive or not Mister Yu."
Then ignoring the shocked look on his face, she strode out of the courtyard.
As soon as Lu Xiuying left Yu Yize who wanted to stop her received a call that interrupted him from saying anything to Lu Xiuying. Picking up the call he darted a glance at the rotting corpse and then walked out of the room as fast as he could and then rushed out of the courtyard as well, it was better to stay away from that thing. " Hello," after stepping out of the courtyard he answered the call and then took a look at Lu Xiuying who was walking away from him. His hatred for the sect surged even more in his heart, these people! they sucked so much money and resources from him and then left him in this lurch, just wait! He will make them pay!
But before he could even get a chance to make the sect pay, Yu Yize received an answer from the other side and as soon as he heard what the person on the other side was saying all the blood drained from his face as he shrieked, " what??"
His scream was so loud that it echoed throughout the demonic sect but no one paid any attention to him.
Not even Lu Xiuying who was just a few paces away from him, she kept on walking without looking back, since she already knew what tragedy was going to befall on Yu Yize. As she walked around the courtyard a man with a mask melted out of the darkness as he joined her, " Third pillar is he really dead?" The masked man asked.
Lu Xiuying nodded as she solemnly stared at the large building in front of her. " His opponent was good, they not only broke the curse they broke it in a way that it rebounded not only on the third pillar but also on his patron, I think that having such a powerful spirit master against us will not bode well for our sect."
The masked man's eyes glittered as he looked straight ahead and harshly whispered, " If so then we need to find this spirit master and take care of them, we can't let them stop us when we are so close to reaching our goals." With that, he vanished into the darkness once again leaving Lu Xiuying behind, whose eyes flickered as she looked at the spot from where the man disappeared and sighed. " Looks like there will be no peace in the future."

"It's great to see that peace finally restored," Old master Au followed Song Yan as she walked out of their house. When Song Yan came to the Au family she was alone but now that she was leaving there were grateful people following her like little ducklings as she stepped out of the door with Au Cheung. Old master Au held her hands and shook them fervently, " I have no idea how I should thank you miss Song, but let me say this in the future if you need any help then you can call us at any time, I swear on my name that the Au family will rise to your aid at once."
Au Lisha who once took Song Yan as a fraud, who was nothing but a charlatan and even questioned Song Yan's skills also nodded. Tonight if not for Song Yan she would have lost her daughter who was more important than anything, of course, she was more than grateful to Song Yan, " That's right, Miss Song. I promise that from now on you will be like my little sister, and I will treat you to the best of my abilities."
Song Yan felt goosebumps break all over her skin as she watched the enthusiasm that was shining in the eyes of the Au family, really they all were treating her like she was some sort of treasure and that was scaring the hell out of her. She never thought that the Au family who was on the verge of kicking the Yang family and becoming the fourth most influential family in the country had such enthusiastic members.
"It's alright, there is no need for you to think so much about it," said Song Yan as she'd tried to politely decline their offers. " I mean you have already paid me, so there is no need for you to give me anything else."
Old man Au shook his head and then with sincerity brimming in his eyes he patted the back of her hand. " How can that be the same? That fifty million can't even repay half of the favour that you have done for us, if not for you we would have lost our dear baby, for her… we are willing to even spend our entire fortune what's fifty million to us?"
Song Yan's eyes flickered as she remembered a very faint memory of her father, there was a time he called her prickles treasure and said the very same thing to her.
' Hah, they are only willing to pay a hundred million as bride price for my Yan Yan? She is my priceless treasure, how can I even let her marry in such a miserly family?' Her father has said when one of her admirers sent a marriage proposal to her and then turned around to look at her with a smile that was full of doting and adoration. ' My baby is worth more than that, she is my life… how can I marry my life away for that small price?'
" Miss Song?" Au Cheung who noticed that Song Yan was staring at his family in a daze waved his hand in front of her and softly called her name. " Are you okay?"
His voice snapped Song Yan out of her memory, she raised her head and looked at Au Cheung and the Au family who were looking at her in concern before smiling, " I am fine."
Yeah, she was fine…after all, it was all in the past.
