66: What did last night have to do with me?

“Hmm?”

The man in black stopped and looked at Xie Weilou, a surprised look in his eyes.

“......”

Su Muxue also stared at Xie Weilou, her expression stunned.

“This is?”

Yan Zhixiao’s face sank.

When Xie Weilou threw the wine cup just now, he clearly felt a mysterious power erupt, and the man in black’s palm strike was also dispersed.

This made him feel that something was amiss.

Wasn’t Xie Weilou naturally 廢骨 (waste bone)? Now it seemed he clearly had cultivation.

“Looks like you have some strength, but unfortunately, it’s not enough in front of me.”

The man in black said indifferently, then slammed a palm towards Xie Weilou, his Shackles Realm peak aura completely erupting, a black palm print covering the area, full of killing intent.

“Hmph!”

Xie Weilou flicked his sleeve, and the wine cups on the table shot out, a terrifying power erupting, instantly dispersing the black palm print, and the wine cups directly slammed into the man in black.

“......”

The man in black was greatly shocked, both hands shooting out, striking a palm towards the wine cups, an even more powerful force erupting.

Bang!

The wine cups and palm print collided, directly exploding, wine splashing everywhere.

Whoosh!

Xie Weilou lightly flicked his finger, and one drop of wine, like a cold glint, suddenly pierced through the man in black’s glabella, a stream of blood spurting out.

“I…”

The man in black’s expression froze, his glabella already pierced through, blood gushing out, and he fell to the ground, completely dead.

“It dirtied the ground.”

Xie Weilou shook his head and waved his hand.

Boom!

All the corpses in the entire inn instantly turned to ash, and even the many bloodstains were evaporated.

“This…”

Su Muxue stared blankly at Xie Weilou, looking somewhat incredulous.

This guy’s strength was actually so powerful, he could instantly kill a Shackles Realm peak expert with a flick of his finger. This must at least be the Territory Expansion Realm, right?

Wasn’t he naturally 廢骨 (waste bone)? Wasn’t he unable to cultivate?

Was this still the profligate Xie Weilou she knew?

At this moment, Su Muxue suddenly found that she couldn’t understand Xie Weilou anymore.

“How is this possible?”

Yan Zhixiao’s face was pale, his expression horrified as he stared at Xie Weilou, his body trembling slightly.

A Shackles Realm peak expert was just killed by Xie Weilou like that, which made him feel a chill down his spine.

Xie Weilou looked at Yan Zhixiao, his smile somewhat sinister.

“......”

After Yan Zhixiao reacted, he turned to flee.

“Get down here!”

Xie Weilou waved his hand, a force restraining Yan Zhixiao, directly pulling him down from the second floor.

Bang!

Yan Zhixiao’s body crashed onto the ground, his bones shattering, blood spurting from his nose and mouth, emitting a shrill scream.

Xie Weilou looked at Yan Zhixiao with an indifferent expression: “A useless person who hasn’t even stepped into the Shackles Realm dares to be presumptuous in front of me, a creature courting death.”

Slap!

After speaking, he slapped out a palm, the palm print striking Yan Zhixiao’s face.

“Ah…”

Yan Zhixiao was sent flying, his face exploding, a bloody mess, dragging a bloodstain on the ground, his screams shrill.

Xie Weilou picked up a clean wine cup again, poured a cup of wine, then looked at Su Muxue expressionlessly: “I’ll give you a choice, kill him!”

“......”

Su Muxue instantly reacted. She immediately held her broken sword and walked towards Yan Zhixiao.

Xie Weilou had hidden his strength for so many years, and now that he had exposed his cultivation in front of her, if she didn't give him some leverage, he would probably make her keep silent forever.

Yan Zhixiao was, after all, the son of the Minister of War. If he died by her hand, it would mean she had given Xie Weilou a handle.

If she didn't want this matter exposed, she naturally wouldn't dare to speak about Xie Weilou’s affairs.

“No… don’t…”

Yan Zhixiao saw Su Muxue walking towards him, his eyes filled with terror.

“Die!”

Su Muxue didn’t hesitate at all, a sword strike slashed out, and Yan Zhixiao’s head was instantly severed, blood splashing out.

Xie Weilou glanced at it indifferently: “The person you killed yourself, you clean up yourself.”

After speaking, he took a sip of wine and walked upstairs.

“......”

Su Muxue was silent for a second, then slammed a palm towards Yan Zhixiao’s corpse, which instantly turned into a bloody mist.

She looked at Xie Weilou’s back, her expression somewhat complex for a moment.

At this moment, Xie Weilou felt very unfamiliar to her, as if he had directly become a different person, making her feel an inexplicable trepidation and unease.

She suddenly felt that the previous Xie Weilou, who liked to flirt with her, was more pleasing to the eye.

Moreover, seeing Xie Weilou so unfathomable, a strange sense of loss arose in her heart, as if there was a regret of having missed a treasure.

The next day.

Morning.

Xie Weilou got on his warhorse; next, he had to rush to Northern Border City.

Su Muxue rode her horse, following beside him, silently looking at Xie Weilou, wanting to speak but hesitating.

“Something wrong?”

Xie Weilou glanced at Su Muxue indifferently.

“Thank you for last night…”

Su Muxue began.

“What does last night’s matter have to do with me? You killed the person yourself. If you don’t want to die, you’d best not mention this matter again.”

Xie Weilou said expressionlessly, then rode his warhorse away.

“......”

Su Muxue looked at Xie Weilou’s back, slightly lost in thought. She could clearly feel that Xie Weilou’s attitude had become even more indifferent, which made her very unaccustomed.

Before noon.

Xie Weilou arrived at the City Lord’s Mansion, and the main group also gradually returned here.

“Xie Weilou.”

In front of a pavilion, Yan Ruyi limped towards Xie Weilou.

Xie Weilou looked at Yan Ruyi in surprise: “Princess, why is your leg limping?”

“Hmph! None of your business.”

Yan Ruyi glared angrily at Xie Weilou.

“Too lazy to care.”

Xie Weilou waved his hand carelessly and walked towards a large hall.

“You…”

Yan Ruyi’s expression froze. Was this guy so arrogant? Talking to her so carelessly?

She immediately limped towards the main hall.

Inside the main hall.

Everyone gathered. During the Winter Hunt Assembly, hundreds of people participated, but only sixty or seventy people were present here now.

Yan Ruyu, Yan Junlin, and Yan Wuhai were all among them.

Yan Wugou was not seen; he had been so severely injured before that it would certainly be difficult for him to recover in a short time.

When Xie Weilou entered, many people’s gazes fell upon him.

Yan Ruyu glanced at Xie Weilou indifferently, then shifted her gaze, but deep in her eyes, there was a hidden coldness. Yan Junlin was in the way; if he hadn’t sent people, Blood Sky Wolf would certainly have been able to kill Xie Weilou.

“Brother Xie!”

Yan Junlin’s face broke into a smile, and he immediately waved his hand.

Xie Weilou walked over with a smile, and he sat down beside him: “The First Prince is in a good mood. Could it be that he obtained a legacy?”

Upon hearing the word “legacy,” Yan Junlin revealed a bitter smile. What legacy was there?

At this moment, he was very depressed because all the experts he had sent out had been annihilated, not a single one had returned.

He said seriously: “Seeing Brother Xie unharmed, I am naturally happy.”

Xie Weilou whispered: “Thanks to the experts sent by the First Prince.”

“Minor matter, minor matter.”

Yan Junlin waved his hand lightly.

“General Mu arrives!”

Outside the hall, a powerful voice rang out.
