412 Lin Hang’s Death
Xu Qing’s delicate brows furrowed slightly. In the very next moment, the individual who had spoken began to swell, as if on the verge of exploding!
“He intends to self-detonate!” Xu Qing cried out in alarm. A self-detonation by someone with profound internal Qi would surely be akin to a miniature explosion! She hadn't anticipated that the Ji family would resort to sacrificing themselves to provide an escape opportunity for others!
The individual was charging towards Xu Qing because Bei Shu presented the most significant obstacle in their path!
“Little Qing!”
!!
“Bei Shu!”
Events unfolded with blinding speed. Xu Qing found herself unable to evade in time, and Qiao Yanhui was still too distant. The charging figure was mere inches from Xu Qing.
In a blur, a figure clad in white streaked forward, intercepting the attack and pushing Xu Qing down. Simultaneously, Qiao Yanhui arrived, swiftly pulling Xu Qing into his embrace.
The instant Xu Qing was within Qiao Yanhui’s arms, she twisted around, her eyes falling upon the person who had intervened – it was Lin Hang! He called out her alias as he unhesitatingly threw himself upon the "bomb"...
With a deafening bang, flesh and blood scattered!
Numerous individuals were caught in the concussive blast, and Xu Qing’s vision reddened. Whether it was from the splatter of blood or a storm of other emotions, she could hardly believe that Lin Hang, the one who had long plagued her and whom she had feared constantly, would perish in such a brutal and unexpected manner. In that moment, she understood that she hadn’t truly wished for his death. At the very least, he shouldn’t have died saving her…
“Little Qing, are you alright?” Qiao Yanhui had not forseen such unyielding defiance from the Ji family! Regardless, their attempt to seize an opportunity for escape was futile. An ambush had already been established in the surrounding area; even if someone managed to break through, they would be swiftly eliminated.
The members of the reclusive families were like rot; to restore integrity, the corrupted parts must be excised entirely. Throughout this continent, these reclusive families had perpetually sowed discord in the shadows, aspiring to dominate the entire land. Such ingrained mindsets were beyond alteration.
“I am unharmed.” Xu Qing shook her head, still processing the shock. Lin Hang, that perverse individual, had sacrificed his life for her? Her gaze fixed on the bloody remnants of Lin Hang. Now, only a pool of blood remained. All their past animosity dissolved in that instant.
After confirming Xu Qing’s safety, Qiao Yanhui arranged for her to be escorted back while he attended to the remaining threats. Who could say if any other individuals might attempt self-detonation? In such an event, there would be no one to shield Xu Qing again. Lin Hang’s unexpected action had indeed surprised him. However, the thought of his wife being saved by another man nonetheless left him feeling unsettled.
The explosion had created a significant disturbance, audible to many. Although numerous attendees were present for a matchmaking event, some harbored hidden agendas. Witnessing the commotion erupt within Bei Shu’s domain, they began to inquire about the cause.
Deng Chengxi also received word of the incident and hurried to the scene. Upon arrival, she realized Nian Chongju was conspicuously absent! Finding Xu Qing amidst the aftermath and spotting the bloodstains on her, Deng Chengxi’s sole inquiry was, “He didn’t come? Or is he already deceased? Since members of the hidden families were involved, why didn't you notify me?”
At this juncture, Xu Qing regained her composure. After wiping the blood from her face, she considered the situation and responded, “It was indeed someone from a hidden family, though not their foremost leader.”
Xu Qing bore no ill will towards Deng Chengxi’s abrupt tone. After all, she could empathize with Deng Chengxi’s own misfortunes.
However, the others present found Deng Chengxi’s approach difficult to comprehend. Zhuo Wuyou arrived in haste, his expression turning grim upon seeing the blood spattered on Xu Qing. Upon hearing about the involvement of the hidden families, his heart lurched. Could it be Ji Yueyue? Had she dared to harm Xu Qing? The thought ignited his anger, which he could no longer contain. “Miss Deng, your directness is quite something. Did you not observe the blood on Xu Qing’s person? Furthermore, what purpose would informing you have served? Could you truly fend off individuals from the hidden families? Wouldn't you merely be walking into certain death? In the end, you would likely require Xu Qing's assistance!”
Zhuo Wuyou directed a worried glance at Xu Qing. Just as he was about to inquire about her well-being, Deng Chengxi’s demeanor shifted. It wasn’t that she lacked concern for her friend, but in that moment, her focus was solely consumed by her adversary. Being subjected to mockery, she could no longer tolerate it. “I require no one’s assistance! It seems you are exceedingly devoted to her. However, it is not your place to chastise me! You are fully aware that she possesses a husband, yet you persist in acting as a homewrecker. How utterly shameless!”
Seeing the escalating argument between the two, Xu Qing’s frustration intensified. Just as she was preparing to intervene, a cold voice cut through the air. It was Lu Yao, who had remained silently behind Zhuo Wuyou, speaking with chilling disdain, “Do you even possess the qualifications to insult my master? Ah, I seem to have forgotten. Had a certain individual been willing back then, she could have easily become the matriarch of a prominent clan…”
