A touch of heartlessness flashed in Geng Zhishan’s eyes which wasn’t in conformity with his face. He could handle it quickly. The dagger had been sharpened, glimmering with cold light. Only one cut was enough to kill a person.

But at that moment, Gu Yusheng murmured, and when he moved, he began to twitch uncontrollably. The blood flowed out of the corner of his mouth. Geng Zhishan squatted beside him and stopped the dagger at his chest instead of piercing through his clothes.

He was not a kind man, but he retreated the dagger when he remembered that Xie was very firm about taking this man with them before she slipped into a coma. Furthermore, his convulsions were abnormal.

He stretched out his hand to feel Gu Yusheng’s pulse and thought carefully, his look turning colder and colder.

‘How could it possible? Is he really a member of the clan?’

When he recalled carefully, he found that there was no such man of the same age in the clan. So who was he? His appearance was very similar to that of that person. Thus, the man either was a scapegoat or had an evil purpose. Geng Zhishan hesitated for a while and finally decided to kill him to avoid any danger in the future. As for Xie Mengxuan, there was no need to worry at all. He had his own methods to appease her.

However, just as he was about to take out the dagger again, he heard the sound of the footsteps of another person. He tried to look normal and hid the dagger quickly. Then he once again put on an honest and straightforward look.

Just at that moment, a hand pressed on his shoulders, then he heard a sound ring gravelly, “What are you doing?”

Geng Zhishan did not respond immediately. He turned his head and looked at the person with a fierce look.

The man had no clear emotions, but he did have an air of dignity around him. The corners of his thin lips bent down, as he squinted at Geng casually with his triangle eyes. The man put Geng under pressure by just staring at him.

Geng Zhishan was surprised, and he immediately showed a look of fear after he made things clear. He moved backward and said, “No, I didn’t do anything.”

The man stepped forward slowly and kicked out the dagger he had hidden on one side, “If so, what is this?”

Geng Zhishan was in a panic as if he was hesitant to speak something.

The man clasped Geng’s neck and said, “You want to kill him! You look like a sincere man, but you are so cruel!”

“You’re talking nonsense! I’m not! He stayed with my wife for two days. It’s rational that I want to kill him. What’s wrong with that?”

Geng Zhishan straightened himself and stared at the man. There was an air of disobedience around him. However, the man did not say a word and also looked into his eyes with his own gloomy ones.

After a while, Geng Zhishan began to wobble, and the man smiled, “You are a man of courage and uprightness, but you’re too timid.” The man bent down, picked up the dagger, placed it at Geng Zhishan’s face and raised his chin,, “ You can’t kill this man.”

“If I am supposed not to kill him, I won’t do it. Don’t scare me?” Geng Zhishan dodged aside and murmured.

The man seemed to be satisfied. He burst into laughter but soon controlled himself. “Where is your house? Take us there.”

Geng Zhishan immediately jumped up after hearing his words and said disdainfully, “Why do you need to go to my house? No, you can take him away, but you can’t come back home with me!”

The man gave him a blank stare as a reply. He squinted at Geng, “Huh? What are you talking about?”

The man’s momentum was appalling. Geng Zhishan was scared and was forced to step backward, but he insisted on saying, “I-I said you can’t come back with me! What if he hooks up with my wife!?”

“Ha-ha, lad, you have no other choice. Either take us back, or you and your wife will be dead today.” The man played with the dagger in his hand.

He looked so severe that Geng Zhishan could sense that he would really keep his promise. The man walked forward, step by step, until the dagger in his hand directly pointed at Xie Mengxuan.

“Don’t hurt her! I promise you that I will do it! I promise!” Geng Zhishan said hurriedly, pouncing over to protect Xie Mengxuan.

The man was satisfied with his behavior and removed the dagger. “My family name is Luo. I don’t have a full name, so just call me Uncle Luo.”

Uncle Luo took the initiative to introduce himself. Geng Zhishan nodded his head in approval. He carried Xie Mengxuan on his back and went forward without saying a word.

Uncle Luo carried Gu Yusheng on his shoulders and followed behind Geng Zhishan. Geng Zhishan could sense that the martial art of Uncle Luo was superb. With Xie Mengxuan on his back, he felt a little tired, all the way back to Zhoujia Village, but Uncle Luo didn’t. It’s easy to judge that he had a great physical endurance.

They didn’t come back home until it was night. As the farmers had no entertainment at night, they went back to their own house early and chatted in the Kang (a heatable brick bed in North China).

They reached the village quietly, and as Geng lived in a remote place in the village, no one found them out.

When they came back to the cabin, Geng Zhishen carefully put Xie Mengxuan on the bed in the bedroom. When he tidied her quilt, he quickly gave her a gentle tap on her acupoint to ensure that she could sleep until the next morning.

Uncle Luo also put Gu Yusheng aside and looked around. Then he cleaned up the messy cabin and took Gu Yusheng to the cabin to lie down.

There were two more people in the room, so Geng Zhishan was worried and didn’t sleep well all night.

The next day, when the cock crowed, he gradually went sleep. But Xie Mengxuan woke up from her sleep in a cold sweat. She was panting and looked pale.

Geng Zhishan heard the sound, so he immediately woke up and eagerly said, “Darling, what’s the matter?”

Xie Mengxuan didn’t seem to hear him. She was in a trance and gasped for breath. She shook her head for a while and said, “It’s all right.” She immediately lay down after that. Geng Zhishan was glad that she did not look for the man. But soon, Xie Mengxuan sat up again and grabbed Geng Zhishan’s hand and said, “What about that man? Did you bring him back?”

Geng Zhishan became unhappy suddenly and flew into a rage as he said, “I didn’t bring him back; I lost him in the mountains!”

Xie Mengxuan’s face turned pale suddenly while her hands trembled. “What a silly man you are! Who told you not to bring him back!? I’m totally pissed off! Get out of the way!”

After scolding him, Xie Mengxuan pushed Geng Zhishan away and got off the bed to find the Gu. Geng Zhishan immediately hugged her and shouted, “Darling, I am your husband. Why do you care so much about him?. You have repaid your gratitude by marrying me. That man does not appreciate people like us; ah, you cannot show your affections to another man since you already have me.”

Geng Zhishan said with an aggrieved voice.

Xie Mengxuan stopped struggling and turned her head to look at Geng Zhishan. The man had treated her sincerely without any other intentions. For protecting her, he declared that she was his wife at this period of time. And when living in Zhoujia Village, she had not refused him clearly yet. Now, the man misunderstood her, so it was also her fault.

But now, the person she was looking for had been found. And if everything went well, she would return to Imperial Capital one day. This man was doomed to be disappointed by her. She thought that it was time to make things clear with him.
