Chapter 30 Revenge At night, the moon is dark and the wind is high. In the inner city of Jiangning, the interconnected streets were empty, with only two dark shadows looming and passing through the air. "You are sure you saw with your own eyes that he did not go to the hall today but returned to his private residence, right?" "It is absolutely true. I waited until it was dark and no one was coming in or out before I informed you." Ruan Xing nodded, took off the bag from his back, which contained various bottles and jars, and began the simulation. [Simulating] When you were six years old, you and Hu San sprinkled powder outside the wall of Hu Ye's private residence, and judged by the wind direction that smoke was blown in from the southeast. A quarter of an hour later, you and Hu San tried to sneak in, but were discovered by the guards outside the main hall. After a fight, you and Hu San killed the guards in the private residence, but because time dragged on for too long, a large number of gang thugs in the hall also came to support the siege, and finally you died due to exhaustion. [End of simulation] It seems not enough, Ruan Xing reviewed it and decided to increase the dosage!
Anyway, these medicines were not made by myself, so I don’t feel bad about it at all. …… At the age of six, you and Hu San sprinkled powder outside the wall of Tiger Lord's private residence, and judged by the wind direction that a large amount of smoke was blown in from the southeast. A quarter of an hour later, you and Hu San tried to sneak in. While looking for Tiger Lord and his family, you encountered a servant who had just woken up for the night. The other party's scream woke up some guards who had only inhaled a small amount of smoke... …… The concubine who lived in a small courtyard in the northwest corner was taking a bath and avoided the smoke. She quietly escaped from the small door in the backyard... …… After many simulations without errors, Ruan Xing finally felt relieved and asked Hu San to start sprinkling the powder. "Miss, what is this?" "A kind of medicinal powder that can expand the effect of the smoke. This house is so large that if we just blow the smoke in, it will be almost useless if it spreads over such a large area. But this medicinal powder can isolate the inside and outside and prevent the smoke from spreading outwards. So we have to be careful and sprinkle a thin layer of it all under the walls around here." Ruan Xing explained a few words, then took out two pills, one for himself and one for Hu San, "This is the antidote for the smoke. After taking it, you can resist the smoke for two hours." After Hu San finished eating, he lit the smoke and started blowing it in under Ruan Xing's command. After waiting for another quarter of an hour, Ruan Xing estimated that it was about time, so he nimbly climbed over the wall and sneaked in. After the two men went in, Ruan Xing took Hu San and went straight to the toilet in the backyard. A man who looked like a servant came out yawning. When he saw the two masked men in black, he immediately wanted to call for help with a terrified expression. However, Ruan Xing was prepared. Before the servant could shout, he had already flown forward and lightly wiped the servant's throat with a dagger. A line of blood appeared on his throat, and the servant fell to the ground with his eyes wide open. Hu San was stunned. He was about to ask Ruan Xing how he knew there was someone in the toilet, but he heard Ruan Xing say, "Don't be in a daze. Hurry up and follow me." I had to swallow what I wanted to say silently and quicken my pace to catch up. Along the way, Ruan Xing was like a fish in water. Not only did he know how many people were in each room, he could also easily find the hiding places of some night watch guards. His familiarity with the place made Hu San think that they were not coming to Hu Ye's private residence, but to Ruan Xing's backyard. "It's almost time." Ruan Xing whispered. After killing all the survivors outside, only the Tiger family members who lived in the backyard of the inner house were left. She instructed Hu San, "Go to the small door in the northwest corner and guard it. Three women will pass through there. Kill them and then go to the third, fifth and sixth rooms in the north. There are three children tied up and brought here. Kill all the others without leaving a single one alive." "Yes, ma'am." Hu San took the order and left. Ruan Xing walked towards the main house, dealt with several maids and guards near the main house, pushed open the door, and the house was pitch black. The windows were half open, and the Xiangyun gauze curtains hanging from the inner room behind the screen fluttered slightly in the breeze.
Ruan Xing did not go in, but swung the sword lightly, and the short sword in his hand rushed out with white sword light of true energy, tearing the exquisite and elegant screen like paper, and went straight into the shadow behind the Xiangyunsha with its momentum. There was a sound of the sword tearing flesh, followed by a muffled groan, and a figure rolled out from the shadows. After removing the black cloth covering his face, Ruan Xing approached him and smiled easily: "Hello, do you still recognize me?" Lord Hu looked at the girl in black in front of him with horror in his eyes. He had already guessed something when he saw her petite figure, but now that Ruan Xing showed her face without any hesitation, he was even more certain. "Ruan Xing...? Are you the little girl from the daytime? You were just a virgin girl, how could you have such a high level of martial arts? Could it be that this is all a trap he set for me?! He sent you to kill me? How dare he! The gang leader will not let him go if he finds out!" The sword was deeply embedded in Tiger Lord's chest. Ruan Xing stepped forward and pulled the sword out with a little force. Tiger Lord gritted his teeth and endured the pain, covering the wound that was bleeding with his trembling hands. Because Mr. Hu had practiced internal skills, he had a stronger resistance to smoke. After inhaling some, he became very alert and woke up. However, he called out to the guards outside his room a few times, but no one answered. He knew it would be dangerous if he went out now, so he might as well hide in the room, disguise the bed as if he was lying there, and hide behind the curtain, waiting for someone to kill him. Ruan Xing had failed in one of his simulations here, so he naturally knew about it in advance. He leisurely watched Tiger Lord's ferocious expression before saying, "You should look at your own situation before asking others questions. Now I am the butcher and you are the meat. Shouldn't you behave well and beg me not to kill you?" Tiger Lord's excitement had calmed down. He said confidently, "You don't dare to kill me. I plotted against Lao Qi because of something, but I didn't want to fight to the death. No one can replace my position in the gang. I just crossed the line and made him angry, so he sent you to teach me a lesson." "Hey, I didn't admit that it was Master Qi who sent me here. Couldn't I have come here on my own accord?" Ruan Xing rolled her eyes speechlessly. "Forget it, I won't waste my words with you. Let me get this straight. I heard that you wanted to kill me. Why? Tell me the reason." Seeing that Lord Tiger was still stiff-necked and silent, Ruan Xing did not hesitate to slash his sword through his thigh! Caught off guard, Tiger Lord screamed and looked at her with resentment. "My patience is limited. If you don't tell me, I won't want to hear it later." Just as Ruan Xing finished speaking, there were heavy footsteps outside the house. Seeing that Ruan Xing didn't seem nervous at all, Tiger Lord felt his heart sink, fearing that the entire mansion was under the control of the other party. However, the next person who came in made Tiger Lord even more desperate. With a few thuds, several small gourds that were tightly wrapped in cloth ropes were thrown to the ground by Hu San. "Miss, the people are here, and the back is cleaned up." Ruan Xing hummed, "Shut their mouths to stop them from making noise, and then wake them up for me." Hu San did as he was told, used his sword to cut open the child's dirty pajamas and forced the cloth into his mouth, then slapped him a few times to wake him up. The little baby's tender white cheeks instantly became red and swollen. He opened his eyes and was about to cry, but because his mouth was blocked, he could only whimper faintly. The boy, who was about eight or nine years old, remained silent and did not cry out in pain. "What do you mean by this!" Tiger Master ignored the pain of his wound and tried to stand up. However, the effect of the smoke on his body had not yet weakened. At this moment, his limbs were limp and he could not move at all. He could only speak sternly: "What on earth do you want to do!?" "I told you, you want to kill me, why?" Ruan Xing repeated the question patiently. She was actually very curious. Why did Tiger Lord, who apparently had the same status as Seventh Lord, have to kill her and then send someone else to the higher-ups on her behalf through Seventh Lord? Was there any deeper meaning behind this? Tiger Lord's eyes were red with anger: "Aren't you asking this even though you already know the answer?!" Ruan Xing is so perfect both internally and externally at such a young age. Regardless of whether the person behind her is the Seventh Master or not, she must have been secretly trained for many years. How could she not know this little secret known to everyone among the top leaders? Ruan Xing narrowed his eyes and swung the dagger in his hand. The cold tip of the sword was still stained with sticky blood and scratched the child's forehead, leaving a thin red mark. Master Hu couldn't tell whether it was his own blood or the child's blood. He looked at Ruan Xing with some humiliation, gritted his teeth and said, "Everyone knows that the gang leader has three confidants, Old Seven, me, and Madam Wang, but... Madam Wang is in charge of all the granaries and grain stores in the gang, and Old Seven has hundreds of masters with external strength above the great completion, and is also responsible for selecting disciples for the higher-ups. They have followed the gang leader since they were insignificant, and now they all have a bright future, but what about me? It's the same for me! I got nothing in return! Just because I betrayed my eldest brother and gave all his foundation in the inner city to the gang leader?! What I did under my eldest brother was to do business and make money, and now? Still doing business and making money, what's changed?" There was resentment in his tone as he questioned Ruan Xing and the gang leader who had secretly recruited him. The gang leader, a middle-aged man in his thirties, actually had tears in his eyes. "They can all meet the boss, know who the boss is and what he looks like, and get rewards from him for doing things... Only I can't, only I can't! They are wary of me and keep secrets from me!" "The gang leader knows very well that I betrayed my eldest brother just for the conditions he set and to practice martial arts. But now several years have passed, and apart from the bottle of medicine liquid he gave me when he taught me the skills, I have never received the second bottle. The gang leader knows what I want, but he just won't give it to me!" As he spoke, a grown man burst into tears and covered his face and cried bitterly as if he had suffered a great injustice. "Seventh Brother wants to send a disciple to the higher-ups, and I am not qualified to participate, but I am unwilling to do so. If my child becomes a disciple of the higher-ups, can't I bypass the gang leader and have the opportunity to get the medicine liquid to practice internal skills? My own child was being targeted by the gang leader, so I brought my nephew from my hometown. Isn't that okay? Seventh Brother said no, because you are more suitable... You, a yellow-haired girl, are more suitable than the child I have carefully raised..." "Do you think that because you once betrayed your eldest brother, the gang leader is afraid that you will betray him too, so he treats you as his confidant on the surface but actually gives you nothing?" Ruan Xing said in disbelief.
Lord Tiger said bitterly: "What else?!" Was it her fault that she was better than his child just for such a small matter? He was going to kill such an innocent and pitiful little girl. Ruan Xing was silent. Moreover, it was not the gang leader who was stingy, but the old man in the cave. The old man wished that his subordinates would never achieve perfection in their internal skills in their entire lives, so he kept the formula of the medicine tightly in his hands and was unwilling to give out even the ones he prepared himself, for fear that his subordinates would become stronger and not listen to him or do things for him. As for the management of the gang's business, if Ruan Xing was in his position, she would be quite satisfied, after all, this position is lucrative! She is fully responsible for management, so she can write whatever she wants in the account book and take as much as she wants. How can she feel that the gang leader does not trust such an important position? I can’t spend it all, I can’t spend it all! This matter is that there is a misunderstanding between the two parties and they don't make it clear. Instead, they keep it in their hearts and become abnormal. But this had nothing to do with Ruan Xing, and she didn't want to be a family mediator. After finding out the truth, there was no need for Tiger Lord to live. A white light flashed, and Ruan Xing stabbed Tiger Lord, who was still kneeling on the ground and crying, with a sword. He had finally avenged himself for being killed so many times in the simulation. The memory had been played back so many times that it was almost becoming a demon in Ruan Xing's mind. Since they didn't waste much time along the way and it was still early in the morning, Ruan Xing said calmly, "Kill these guys too. Use the bottles of bone-dissolving water I gave you to clean up the bodies, and then find the valuable gold, silver and jewelry in this house." Cut the grass at its roots to avoid future troubles. She didn't want to encounter an orphan with a blood feud twenty years later, or a person who pretended to be dead and had been enduring for years just for revenge... Although she had a simulator and no one could match her growth rate, it was disgusting like an ant biting an elephant without causing any pain. It was really annoying, so it was better to deal with it cleanly. But suddenly there was a voice, "Wait!" Ruan Xing was surprised. She looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the eight or nine-year-old boy had somehow removed the rag stuffed in his mouth. His hands and feet were tied together, and he was lurching forward like a worm, shouting in a low voice: "I, I know where his secret room is. I also know the location of my aunt's private silver dowry. Please, please don't kill me." This didn't happen in the simulation. In her last simulation, she killed everyone before going to find Tiger Master. After torturing him and interrogating him for a long time, he wouldn't say anything. That's when she suddenly had the idea of bringing his child here. "He raised you carefully, but you want to betray him?" Ruan Xingqi asked. This is really a continuation of the tradition. "No... I'm not my uncle's nephew. I'm his biological son." The boy spoke intermittently. "My mother was a dancer at the Nuanxiang Pavilion of the Jiaofangsi in Huaining City. My uncle took a fancy to her and made her his concubine. After giving birth to me, my mother looked haggard and he didn't like her. He didn't want to take us home, and later he ignored us. My mother didn't have money to support me, so she had to go back to the Jiaofangsi to teach dance. My mother and I depended on each other until two years ago... My uncle suddenly found me, took me back as his nephew, and killed my mother to silence her..." "I didn't betray him! I never acknowledged him as my father. I originally thought that once I became a disciple of a big shot, I would kill him to avenge my mother!" "Very good, very energetic." Ruan Xing praised, rummaging in his bag and took out a small bottle, pouring a pill into his palm, "This is called Seven Days Heartbreak, you eat this, and if you are obedient, I will give you an antidote every seven days, otherwise you will die of intestinal perforation, do you want to eat it?"
