Coming of the Villain Boss!

Chapter 1304: The Path Of Apocalypse (27)

"Looks like you really need to be educated more." Ming Shu sighed with emotion.

What a great job he had done.

Then it was the little fatty's long and lasting screams.

Even in the end, the little fatty didn't understand why he was beaten up again since he wrote the character right.

He was beaten for not studying hard before, but why was he beaten again for being a good student?

The man punished his own birth son and looked a little colder than just now. "I don't know why you two lords want to look for some people from the past?"

"Are you sure you want to talk about it here?"

The man: "…"

The little fatty's screams and the appearance of two strangers, Ming Shu and Qi Yu, attracted a lot of onlookers standing nearby, pointing.

"This way, please."

"Father!" The little fatty pointed at the kid on the ground with one hand while the other was covering on his own head. "He stole things from Aunt Gui again."

"Mind your own business!" If it were not for the little bastard, how would he get involved in this?

"It's not right to steal things!" Little fatty was very angry. "Wasn't it you who told me that?"

The man: "…"

The man signaled to Ming Shu to wait for a moment, and walked up to the child. "Little Zhu Zi, why are you stealing again?"

And got caught by the little bastard!

The boy answered timidly, "I'm hungry…"

The man seemed to know about the child. He shook his head, picked him up, and gave him to a villager, then gave the villager something and asked him to take care of the boy.

When the man came back, the little fatty shouted at once, "Father, he is bad!"

The man glared at little fatty.

Little fatty lowered his head slowly.

…

The man was called Gu Pingyun, who took Ming Shu back to where they lived.

The house was no different from those around it.

But judging from the attitude of the villagers just now, and the little fatty's playing the bully in the village as well as calling himself the prince, the man had a high status in the village.

"Gu Baochuan, go back to your room!" Gu Pingyun roared angrily.

Little fatty covered his head and ran quickly back to his room.

Gu Pingyun pointed to the stone table in the courtyard. "My house is humble, please have a seat, Lords."

After Ming Shu and Qi Yu sat down, Gu Pingyun took his seat.

"The surname Xi has been unused for a long time and now everyone is forgetting it…" Gu Pingyun shook his head. "I didn't expect anyone to come to the door. What do you want to know, just ask."

"A long time ago, you were a big family. How did you come to this?"

Gu Pingyun said, "You said it yourself, Lord, it was a long time ago. Time has changed, and who knows what will happen in the future."

Ming Shu thought it sounded reasonable. She nodded and asked, "Do you know about the Battle at Spirit Water?"

Gu Pingyun's eyes narrowed slightly. But a moment later, he showed a puzzled and vacant expression. "Battle at Spirit Water? What's that? In this isolated village, we don't know much about the outside world…"

Ming Shu smiled slowly. "Your village is very beautiful. It'd be a pity to ruin it."

Gu Pingyun: "…"

The girl's voice was clear and light, without any threat in it, but it indeed held a threatening meaning.

Gu Pingyun's face darkened. "Lord, why do you have to ask about things that happened so long ago?"

Ming Shu retained a smile. "If it was not necessary, do you think I'd need to come all the way to you?"

Gu Pingyun met with Ming Shu's eyes.

The courtyard quieted down all of a sudden.

Shashasha—

A big tree planted in the yard was rustling in the wind.

Gu Pingyun's voice sounded to the rustles. "I've only heard a few words from the elders in the clan about the Battle at Spirit Water, and I don't know the details clearly. If you want to ask what happened in those days, I'm afraid you will be disappointed."

Gu Pingyun wasn't lying.

How long had it been since the Battle at Spirit Water?

How long ago was he born?

Even the elders living in the clan were not sure about the Battle at Spirit Water, not to mention him.

"Pingyun."

Outside the courtyard, a woman helped an old lady with white hair come in.

Gu Pingyun stood up immediately to pick up the old lady and lowered his voice. "Didn't I tell you not to come back for the time being?"

"Mother insisted she come back," the woman answered.

Grandma Gu held a cane. Her hollow eyes seemed to have troube seeing, but she could still look in Ming Shu's direction accurately.

Grandma Gu said, "Pingyun, help me over."

Gu Pingyun hesitated for a moment, then helped Grandma Gu sit by the table.

Grandma Gu felt around the edge of the table and put her hand at a proper position. "You came to ask about the Battle at Spirit Water?"

"Do you know about that?"

Grandma Gu: "I'm an old woman and I know more than Pingyun. You let them leave and I'll tell you."

Ming Shu chuckled. "I don't mean to do anything, just ask about some things. You don't have to be so nervous."

Seen through by Ming Shu, Grandma Gu wasn't panicked at all, but insisted, "If you want to know, you should let them leave."

Ming Shu shrugged and signaled them to act freely.

"Mother?" Gu Pingyun seemed unwilling. How could he leave his own old mother alone here.

Grandma Gu said calmly, "Pingyun, go out with your wife and son."

"Mother, I can't leave you here alone."

"Pingyun!"

Grandma Gu raised her voice.

But Gu Pingyun was also very stubborn. "Wife, you take our son outside first."

The woman apparently listened to Gu Pingyun. She responded and went into the room to take the little fatty out.

Grandma Gu sighed slightly and could only allow Gu Pingyun to stay.

Her empty eyes looked at Ming Shu. "What do you want to ask, girl?"

Ming Shu didn't beat around the bush, either. "I just want to ask, the thing you grabbed from the Apocalypse Pagoda back then, whose hands did it end up in?"

Ming Shu's voice was neither anxious nor casual. After she finished the sentence, no one answered for a long time.

Grandma Gu sat there calmly. There was no sign of emotion on her wrinkled face.

Gu Pingyun was not as calm as his mother, but his expression leaked nothing useful. Just like what he said, he didn't know a lot.

Ming Shu held Qi Yu's hand and played with it, waiting for them, in no hurry.

Qi Yu felt slightly itchy in his palm. He lowered his eyes and saw Ming Shu draw something with her fingers on the palm of his hand.

Qi Yu thought Ming Shu was just drawing willfully, but soon discovered she was writing something.

He stared at her hand tightly, and the strokes were engraved into his mind.

After Ming Shu finished the last move, Qi Yu's eyes were filled with surprise. The words she wrote down just now were… I like you.

Ming Shu raised her eyes and arched her eyebrows beautifully.

The girl's picturesque eyes and brows were immersed in her smile. His figure was reflected in her clear eyes.

Qi Yu gripped Ming Shu's hand in his palm in a rush, restraining his impulse.

She must be doing it on purpose!

She definitely did it on purpose!

She did something like this at such a moment, yet he could do nothing now!

Ah!

How can I have such an evil wife!

Calm down!

I can win!
