Chapter 240: Chapter 145: A Family Should Be All Together_3

"You little brat, you’re really stubborn!"

The woman moved forward to slap her.

Although Er Liang had not practiced any Cultivation Technique, he had learned swordsmanship from Yan Changqing. In the instant the woman’s slap came, he blocked her palm with his hand as if it were a sword, and then cautiously stepped back.

The woman, whose palm had missed, was stunned and incredulously swung her slap again, still missing her target.

"Are you two made of wood?"

The woman said angrily to the two men.

The two big men clenched their fists and were about to step forward when suddenly a stone shot through the air, striking the right ear of the forefront big man and immediately causing flesh to tear and blood to splatter.

In pain, the burly man could not help but let out a piercing scream.

The crowd paused and turned to look.

At the end of the alley, a young girl stood quietly.

She had two long swords hanging at her waist, her expression as cold as frost.

"Que’er!"

Er Liang’s face showed delight.

Zhang Que’er surveyed Er Liang and, seeing that the girl was uninjured, her expression softened slightly; her piercing almond eyes turned towards the woman and the others, "What’s going on?"

Er Liang plaintively recounted the whole incident.

"My sister stole something from your house?"

Zhang Que’er’s delicate, harmless face broke into a sweet, harmless smile as she looked at the three people, "Uncle, aunt, would you like me to apologize to you?"

The three, seeing the swords at Zhang Que’er’s waist, were unsure whether she was a cultivator.

The woman, cunning as ever, glanced at the big man whose ear was bleeding, quickly changed her expression to a smile, "This... it’s a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding, we made a mistake."

The woman handed the dried beef and the money pouch to Er Liang, then slapped the boy and said sternly, "Aren’t you going to apologize to this young lady?"

The boy suddenly burst into tears, snot and tears flying, and while crying, he repeatedly apologized, "I’m sorry, sister, it was my fault, I’m sorry... "

Being naturally kind and guileless, Er Liang watched the young boy’s remorseful crying and apologies, and her previous anger gradually dissipated completely.

The girl sighed softly, turned to Zhang Que’er, "Let’s go, Que’er."

"Aren’t you going to kill them all?" Zhang Que’er said grimly.

Er Liang was startled and stammered, "No... no need, it was all a misunderstanding."

Zhang Que’er smiled and said, "Just kidding."

Zhang Que’er no longer paid any attention to the woman and her group, and left the alley with Er Liang.

As they left the alley, Er Liang lowered her head and apologized, "I’m sorry, Que’er, for worrying you."

"It’s my fault, I should have been with you."

Zhang Que’er patted Er Liang on the head and handed her a beautifully crafted jade-white sword from her waist, "How about it, I picked this weapon especially for you, beautiful isn’t it?"

Er Liang’s beautiful eyes glinted as she gingerly added, "Que’er, is it very expensive? You should use it yourself. I don’t need any weapons."

"You don’t want it, so I’ll throw it away," Que’er retorted.

"No!"

Er Liang hurriedly embraced the treasured sword in her arms.

As she looked up and caught the teasing in Zhang Que’er’s eyes, she realized she was being played with, causing her cheeks to flush with a touch of red. The young girl bit her lip gently and, looking into Zhang Que’er’s eyes, gratefully said, "Que’er, thank you."

"From now on, you must train hard in swordsmanship, understand? That’s the only way you won’t be bullied. Some truths can’t just be spoken," Zhang Que’er affectionately pinched the young girl’s little nose.

Er Liang nodded vigorously, "Mm, I will."

As they reached the entrance of the inn, Zhang Que’er suddenly cried out, "Ah, I left something at the blacksmith’s shop."

"What?"

Er Liang blinked her eyes.

Zhang Que’er stuffed the item she had into Er Liang’s arms and said, "You go inside first, I’ll be right back after I get the thing."

With that, the young girl turned and ran off.

"Que’er, be careful!" Er Liang called out.

"Got it."

...

In the alley, inside the courtyard.

A woman was bandaging a big man’s ear, speaking coldly, "We almost succeeded, I didn’t expect that a little bitch would come out of nowhere. Had I known, I would have called Third Brother."

Another big man complained, "The person who paid us said it was just an ordinary little girl, right? How come she was a martial artist? That girl who showed up later must at least be a Third Grade Martial Artist."

The little boy who had been crying bitterly was now squatting on the ground chasing crickets. Hearing the two’s conversation, he looked up and said, "Mom, I want that sister who came later to be my wife; she’s so pretty."

"Get lost!"

The woman glared and coldly commanded, "Go and call Third Brother. He’s a Second Grade Martial Artist, an expert. He’ll easily handle a little girl. Since we’ve taken their money, we need to do a clean job.

As instructed by the employer, bring that little girl here, cut out her tongue, break her limbs, and then throw her in front of her master... They’ll also pay us afterwards."

"As for the other girl, cripple her martial arts and sell her to Yunchun Tower, she’ll definitely fetch a good price," the woman said.

The big man with the injured ear gritted his teeth and angrily said, "Minus her martial arts first and hand her over to me, I want to properly ’train’ that girl, so she knows the price of harming me!"

"Sigh... A dog can’t change the habit of eating shit."

Suddenly, a hauntingly youthful voice drifted into the courtyard like a cold frost.

The three conspirators were startled and turned in horror only to see that very girl from before, appearing before them, one hand holding a sword and the other holding a head—specifically, that of the little boy.

"Although I don’t want to kill children, I feel..."

Zhang Que’er gently wiped the fresh blood splashed on her hand onto her lips, her crimson lips curved into a chilling smile as lovely as a flower, "a family should stay together, right?"
