The Mightiest Little Master of Metaphysics
Chapter 82 Living Sacrifice

Chapter 82: Chapter 82 Living Sacrifice

After much contemplation.

Liu Xianglei still decided to drive to the Xu family.

Xu Leisong had already explained to his family what exactly happened.

So the moment Liu Xianglei arrived, Xu Leiyue rushed up and grabbed his collar, his fist already raised.

"Brother!" Xu Leisong called out to him, "Don’t do it, I want to know why?"

Liu Xianglei struggled to break free from Xu Leiyue, straightened his clothes, and looked very calm.

"I have nothing to say. I just wanted to kill Leisong, so you would find him after many days and regret it for the rest of your lives."

"Why?" Mo Wanting stepped forward, heartbroken, "After your father died, we always treated you and your mother well, even giving you shares in the company..."

"Don’t bring up my father!" Liu Xianglei shouted, "You gave me shares because my uncle felt guilty. All the money your family has was exchanged with my father’s life!"

Xu Leiyue, emotionally charged, stepped forward, "I see, I can’t not teach you a lesson."

Xu Leisong and Mo Wanting couldn’t pull him away even together.

Suddenly, a child’s soft voice cheerily echoed: "Don’t do it, violence won’t solve the problem."

Xu Leiyue, like a raging fire encountering a fire extinguisher, instantly withdrew, reluctantly pushing Liu Xianglei away and lowering his raised fist again.

Liu Xianglei stared intently at Yun Qi.

"You’re that Yun Family’s little trickster?"

Yun Qi blinked, feeling his reputation was unjustly harmed, and looked towards Mo Wanting and the others.

Mo Wanting offered an apologetic smile, while Xu Xueyan explained quietly: "We didn’t understand before and spoke about you that way, but not anymore."

Yun Qi waved it off, unfazed, like a little adult, serious and earnest.

"I’ve been called a little trickster so much that I don’t even care anymore. But if you’re trying to harm him and I saved him, do you still think I’m a trickster?"

Liu Xianglei sneered disdainfully, holding no good impression of Yun Qi.

Whether she was a trickster or not, she had ruined his plan.

"There’s no need to be angry. Let me ask you, if news of the Second Young Master’s death came now, would you be at peace? Could you sleep at night?"

Liu Xianglei still looked very defiant, "What’s it to you!"

"Xianglei," Mo Wanting said with a pained expression, "how did you become like this now?"

"I became like this thanks to your family. Let me ask you, thirteen years ago when my father was inspecting the construction site for my uncle and had an accident, wasn’t it you who deliberately set it up this way?"

Mo Wanting looked shocked, unable to believe her ears.

"How could you think that? It was never like that, it was an accident then, both I and your uncle were very upset..."

"You’re lying! I’ve found out, thirteen years ago uncle’s investment failed, and the family faced a bankruptcy crisis. At that time, the Jincheng Building was the Xu Family’s only lifeline. Uncle, to ensure nothing went wrong with the project, sought advice from a master and used a live human sacrifice to worship the Gods of the four directions—my father was the sacrifice!"

The words stunned everyone in the room.

Even Yun Qi blinked in confusion, and if it weren’t for the foolish glow on Liu Xianglei’s forehead, she would have suspected he was from the same sect.

She didn’t want such a ridiculous colleague.

Mo Wanting was so shocked by this claim that she could hardly speak.

"What is... what is this about? What sacrifice, what offering? Xianglei, have you been possessed by evil?"

"You’re still pretending! After all this, you’re still pretending! I’ve found out, when my dad and mom first met, uncle disagreed and always wanted to break them up. Later on, when they got married, uncle pretended to be kind and got my dad into business. When your Xu family was in crisis, he sacrificed him. You and uncle really plotted well."

Liu Xianglei gnashed his teeth, each word carrying immense fury.

His sincere demeanor made everyone momentarily believe that what he said was true!

Mo Wanting, completely unable to comprehend, turned to Yun Qi.

"Little Master, what on earth is he talking about? Did our family use his father as a sacrifice?"

Yun Qi helplessly covered her face, that tiny appearance, in an ostentatious manner: "If you haven’t done it, then you haven’t. Just a few words of accusation and you begin to doubt yourselves."

Mo Wanting finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh, we really didn’t do it."

Liu Xianglei, with tears in his eyes, shook his head, "I don’t believe it! What did my father encounter back then? He was just inspecting the site and fell from a height into the machine, his body shattered. Can you say that’s an accident, is it possible?"

"How could it not be possible!" The Little Milk Dumpling shouted, frustrated.

The sweet and soft voice scolded with an extra sense of clarity and weight.

"You’ve been influenced by others’ idle talk, making it seem like any gory accident at a construction site is suspicious. Add to that an unscrupulous Taoist wanting your money, maliciously guiding you, making you firmly believe in your conjectures. But all of that is false, your father’s death was an accident back then."

"Of course, you would defend them, having taken their money."

Yun Qi, angry now, put her little hands on her hips and lectured word by word:

"Big fool, Qi believes in making money the right way and wouldn’t reverse black and white for so little money. Becoming a God or Immortal emphasizes following the orthodox path and adhering to the Heavenly Dao. Live human sacrifices carry an air of evil and maliciousness—what genuine Immortal would dare do such a thing? If you said using live people to sacrifice to demons or ghosts, those entities who can’t even cultivate properly, how much power could they have to ensure the Xu family’s eternal wealth?"

The others thought about it and realized this made sense.

No genuine Immortal would fulfill such a cruel and bloody wish that defied the Heavenly Dao.

Demons and ghosts might align with live human sacrifices but lacked sufficient power.

With this understanding, the Xu family didn’t sacrifice for nothing!

Liu Xianglei pondered silently, surprisingly feeling somewhat convinced, pointing at Yun Qi, "You, you..."

"You also think I’m right." Yun Qi huffed unceremoniously, "This happened over a decade ago, your dad has long entered reincarnation, and in a few years, he can be reborn. Don’t act recklessly and taint your dad’s path to reincarnation."

"I... you mean, live human sacrifice didn’t happen, and it’s all my overthinking?"

"Yes."

Yun Qi, having said so much, felt her throat dry and itchy, and grabbed some milk to sip.

Liu Xianglei looked at this soft and adorable little dumpling, unable to associate her with the status of a master.

"But Master Tang said the Xu family’s current wealth was exchanged with my father’s life."

"He wants to make money off you, don’t listen to his nonsense."

Yun Qi finished the milk, wiping the circle of white cream from her lips.

"You’re inclined to overthink this sort of incident, and instead of discouraging you, that person maliciously guided you for his own profit, disregarding basic morals. Such evil sect scum, the Xuan Sect colleagues are all feigning ignorance right now."

Thinking of her own experiences, Yun Qi grew even more frustrated.
