"Dongchuan Du Family?" Lin Hai raised his eyebrows and said calmly as he looked at the magnificent manor.
"The Du family should be very powerful, right?"
"Of course!" Xu Ling nodded, "In the Dongchuan area, the Du family ranks among the top ten."
"The Du family not only has two Mahayana masters, but they are also on good terms with the Luoye Sect, a large sect in Dongchuan, ah!"
Mentioning the Fallen Leaf Sect, Xu Ling suddenly exclaimed and looked at Lin Hai with a hint of panic.
"What's wrong?" Lin Hai asked in surprise.
"Dongfangye, the Senior Brother Hu and Senior Brother Zhang you killed in the Dark Forest are from the Fallen Leaf Sect!"
Although Xu Ling is simple, she is not stupid. Her cousin Du Juan witnessed Lin Hai's murder.
If Du Juan told the Luoye Sect about this matter, then the people of the Luoye Sect would never let Lin Hai go.
Lin Hai naturally thought of this, smiled lightly on his face, and said nonchalantly.
"No need to worry, I, Dongfang Ye, am not afraid of trouble if I dare to kill people!"
"Oh." Xu Ling nodded worriedly and led Lin Hai into Du's house and to a dilapidated courtyard in an extremely remote part of the manor.
However, as soon as he arrived at the door of the courtyard, Xu Ling's expression suddenly changed, and he heard shouts and curses coming from inside.
"They came to beat my grandpa again!"
Xu Ling suddenly became anxious, opened the door and rushed in.
Lin Hai was startled and hurriedly followed behind him. As soon as he entered, he saw four or five young men surrounding an old man who had fallen to the ground, kicking and beating him crazily.
While beating him, he cursed viciously.
"You idiot, you old guy, why don't you just die!"
"You have caused my Xu family to fall into this state, how can you still be alive!"
"Old immortal, it's all because of you that our Xu family has come to this day!"
"I'll beat you to death! I'll beat you to death, you old bastard!"
The old man was thin, his clothes were ragged, and his expression was dull. He held his head and was kicked and rolled around, but he didn't say a word, but there was a deep sense of guilt in his eyes.
"Stop it, stop it!"
"Don't hit my grandpa again!"
Xu Ling's head buzzed, and his eyes instantly rolled down. He rushed over and pushed these young people away, and helped the old man up, with tears streaming down his face.
"Grandpa, how are you? Are you hurt? Grandpa!"
Xu Shiyuan sighed, looked at Xu Ling with loving eyes, and shook his head.
"If Ling'er doesn't cry, grandpa will be fine!"
Xu Ling suddenly raised his head, with an angry look on his pretty face, staring angrily at the young men, and gave a sweet shout.
"What are you doing? Why are you beating my grandpa again?"
"Humph!" One of the young men snorted coldly and looked at Xu Shiyuan with a malicious look.
"Hitting him is easy!"
"My Xu family was originally a big family in the central area. It was because of him that we ended up in this situation, going to a remote place like Dongchuan to work as a dog for the little Du family!"
"My poor second uncle, he was killed by the Du family in a fight today!"
"And all this was caused by him!" The young man pointed at Xu Shiyuan and roared with hatred!
"What are you talking about?" Xu Ling looked surprised after hearing this.
"The Du family and my Xu family are closely related. They took us in when our Xu family was in danger."
"We should regard the Du family as our benefactors. How do you say that our Xu family is acting like dogs for the Du family?"
"Besides, what does this have to do with my grandfather!"
"Haha, hahaha!" Xu Ling's words made the young man laugh, his eyes full of sarcasm.
"Benefactor? Bullshit benefactor!"
"Xu Ling, I didn't expect that you are still kept in the dark until now!"
When the young man mentioned the Du family, he also had a look of hatred on his face, and his eyes were full of anger.
"Do you think the Du family is really so kind that they would take us in?"
"Their so-called acceptance is conditional, that is, our Du family must fight for them like retainers!"
"Don't you know how many people from our Xu family have died fighting to help the Du family fight for their own interests over the years? Including your parents, don't you know how they died!"
"What did you say!" The young man's words made Xu Ling's head buzz, as if he had been struck by lightning.
Then, Xu Ling rushed over, took the young man's arm, and asked anxiously.
"Xu Hao, weren't my parents killed by monsters when they were training in the dark forest?"
"Hahaha!" Xu Hao laughed sarcastically and looked at Xu Ling who shook his head in disdain.
"Xu Ling, you are the only one who believes what this fool says!"
"Three years ago, the Du family and the Lei family had an impulsive fight over a mineral deposit."
"Hate the Du family, all my own people are hiding behind, and I, the Xu family, will charge into the battle!"
"Although we won that battle, our Xu family suffered heavy casualties. Your parents died in that battle!"
"But when the Du family got the mine, they didn't give any comfort to my Xu family. No one even came to visit, so they all went to celebrate happily!"
"You said, my Xu family's status in the Du family is nothing if not a dog!"
Hearing this, Xu Ling was shocked, with deep disbelief on his face, and tears instantly flowed down.
"How could this happen? How could this happen?"
Xu Ling was completely dumbfounded and couldn't believe this fact at all.
And Xu Hao became angrier as he spoke, and suddenly raised his hand and pointed at Xu Shiyuan!
"It's all him!"
"All this is because of him!"
"Pity my Xu family. There were originally fifteen Mahayana lords, but they all gave their lives in the process of covering the Xu family's escape!"
"But this old guy comes back alive every time. It's really God's blindness!"
"If this were not the case, the only Mahayana lords of our Xu family would be the patriarch and this old guy. How could our Xu family be in such a state of decline and be bullied by others?"
"I am a sinner, I am a sinner of the Xu family!" Xu Shiyuan suddenly choked with deep regret, holding his head.
"Humph, then why don't you die!"
Xu Hao shouted angrily, glared at Xu Shiyuan hatefully, turned around and left angrily.
When he passed by Lin Hai, he was suddenly stunned and stopped.
After looking Lin Hai up and down, Xu Hao suddenly smiled contemptuously and turned to look at Xu Ling.
"Xu Ling, who is this person? Isn't he the match you are looking for outside?"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Xu Ling's face turned red and she shouted angrily.
"Haha, it doesn't matter whether he is your sweetheart or not, because there is something that you probably don't know about yet, right?"
Xu Hao suddenly turned his head and said with a hint of joking and gloating.
"In order to please the Luoye Sect, the Du family has decided to give you to the son of the Luoye Sect's great elder."
"And it is said that the great elder's son became an idiot three years ago because of his spiritual practice!"
"Right now, the head of the Du family is discussing this matter with our clan leader and people from the Luoye Sect in the living room."
"I believe it won't be long before you are the daughter-in-law of the great elder of the Luoye Sect. Hahahaha, retribution, retribution!!!" Xu Hao laughed and left, but Xu Ling's pretty face suddenly turned pale and turned bloodless!
