No Longer a Friend

“Little Hui… Deng Jiangming… was accidentally killed by Lu Yao… I… I couldn’t save him. His heart was pierced…” Xu Qing couldn’t continue anymore as she looked at Qiao Yanhui. Although he didn’t say anything, he had already released powerful killing intent, as if he wanted to wipe out this place.

“Accidentally? What do you mean by accidentally?” Hua Yuncheng looked at Xu Qing with bloodshot eyes. “You’re a divine doctor. You saved so many people, but you can’t save him?” He looked at the culprit and then at Qiao Yanhui. “I’ll save you the trouble. I’ll do it! I can’t let my buddy die just like that. After I kill her, you can take revenge on me!”

Hua Yuncheng didn’t give Qiao Yanhui a chance to speak at all. They had heard about Lu Yao’s identity from Xu Qing, but no matter what, a life for a life!

But just as he was about to attack, he was stopped by Qiao Yanhui.

Hua Yuncheng was completely enraged. “What the f*ck do you mean? If you don’t let me take revenge, we won’t be buddies anymore! You feel guilty towards your sister, but Deng Jiangming and I don’t. What right does she have to kill Deng Jiangming?! Deng Jiangming also has a sister. What will Chengxi do in the future?” In the end, Hua Yuncheng started crying. A man who had been a frivolous playboy for more than twenty years started crying just like that.

Zhuo Wuyou pulled Lu Yao back and was about to take advantage of this opportunity to leave when a palm strike came from behind. However, it wasn’t aimed at him. Lu Yao spat out a mouthful of blood and knelt down on the ground.

After Qiao Yanhui pressed Hua Yuncheng down, he didn’t say a word, but he attacked Lu Yao himself. “Why did you kill Deng Jiangming?” His eyes were emotionless.

“Qiao Yanhui, Lu Yao is indeed your biological sister!” When Zhuo Wuyou saw Qiao Yanhui’s killing intent, he took off Lu Yao’s mask. Only Qiao Yanhui could protect Lu Yao now, because the person who wanted to kill her was also Qiao Yanhui. As for the Deng family’s pursuit, he didn’t take it seriously.

“So? That means she can kill Deng Jiangming?” Qiao Yanhui clenched his fists. “You stabbed him. On account that you’re my sister, stab yourself in the same spot. If you survive, I won’t pursue the matter, nor will I let anyone else pursue the matter!”

Zhuo Wuyou was also filled with killing intent as he retorted, “Seems like you don’t want to let her off! If she stabs herself in the heart, can she still survive?”

“Then my brother’s death should just go unavenged?” Deng Chengxi stood up numbly.

“I’ve already given you guys a chance.” Qiao Yanhui had never delayed killing anyone for so long. He had already given Lu Yao a chance on account of their blood ties. He didn’t expect things to turn out like this when he saw his sister again. In that case, she might as well have been dead right from the beginning. Of course, he had no intention of letting Zhuo Wuyou off. He didn’t believe that this matter had nothing to do with Zhuo Wuyou! With that, Qiao Yanhui suddenly attacked. It was a one-on-two battle, but Qiao Yanhui wasn’t at a disadvantage at all!

Zhuo Wuyou was shocked. Why had Qiao Yanhui’s internal energy improved so much? Two years ago, they were clearly on par. Soon, Zhuo Wuyou was injured by Qiao Yanhui. Lu Yao could tell that Qiao Yanhui was really trying to kill her, so she didn’t feel any joy upon reuniting with her family. She only knew that she couldn’t implicate Zhuo Wuyou. She recalled that Zhuo Wuyou wanted to take her away just now, which meant that Zhuo Wuyou still cared about her, right? In that case, she no longer had any regrets. Zhuo Wuyou didn’t like her anyway, so she might as well die at this time. Perhaps he would remember her forever because of her sacrifice!

“Qiao Yanhui!” Lu Yao pointed her sword at her heart. “Don’t hurt my master. Although it was manslaughter, I’ll take responsibility for my actions. I pay for your buddy’s life with my life!” As she spoke, she was about to stab herself.

“No!” Zhuo Wuyou rushed over to stop her.

“Lu Yao!” Xu Qing quickly shot out silver needles, which cut off her soft sword.

“Calm down first. Let’s lock them up and think about what to do…” Xu Qing held Qiao Yanhui’s hand. Xu Qing had been at the scene the entire time, so she naturally knew that Lu Yao didn’t do it on purpose. She didn’t expect to kill Deng Jiangming. It could only be blamed on bad luck. Moreover, Qiao Yanhui had been looking for his sister for so long. Now that he had finally found her, Xu Qing was afraid that Qiao Yanhui would do something on impulse that would he would later regret. Besides, how was she going to explain it to Ao Jie? This was Ao Jie’s sister as well. Deng Jiangming’s death was tragic, but killing Lu Yao wouldn’t bring Deng Jiangming back to life. There were still other solutions.

Xu Qing asked the secret guards who came with Qiao Yanhui to lock these two people up and guard them strictly.

As for the others, they had no time to do anything.

“Let’s bury Deng Jiangming properly.” Xu Qing reached out to help, but Deng Chengxi avoided her.

Deng Chengxi looked at Xu Qing as she said, “From now on, we’re no longer friends.” Then, she carried her brother away on her back…
