Chapter 526 The Remains Are Scarcely Cold Yet
He Youniang hasn’t lived a peaceful life since she came back to Shanxi.
Despite her attainments in Tao of sword and being the favorite student of Gao Ge, she is actually still a kid.
Her father’s death has caused great pressure on her.
However, after returning to Shanxi, she realizes that the actual situation is not as simple as she imagined.
Her father was murdered.
And there is not only one murderer.
The He Family has been on the verge of collapse now.
In the mourning hall, He Youniang, wearing mourning clothes, is kneeling aside on the ground.
She stares at the familiar face in the black-and-white photo that is placed before the coffin.
She always remembers what her father often said to her.
Shedding tears alone is the most cowardly behavior.
Although He Youniang is a girl, she has been treated as a boy since she was born.
She has rarely worn dresses or watched cartoons.
Probably because she is his daughter, she has started to learn swordsmanship since childhood.
Her Tao of sword is also full of harsh killing intent.
He Youniang used to be tired of that kind of life.
She used to wish that she could have several close besties to hang out every day, carrying a bag and wearing a beautiful dress to do window-shopping in the street with a cup of milk tea.
Therefore, at that time she didn’t like her father at all.
She wondered why she couldn’t decide how to live her life.
Afterwards, she gradually realizes that as she is his daughter, she cannot act willfully and live her life in her own way.
As she grows older, she increasingly understands the importance of Tao of sword.
Only when she becomes strong can she protect herself.
“As long as I am still alive, the He Family will never collapse,” She stares at the familiar photo and says seriously.
At the moment, a middle-aged man comes to her.
“Youniang, the people of the Shen Family has arrived.”
With her eyes getting cold at once, He Youniang stands up slowly.
“I don’t go to them. How dare they come here?” He Youniang sneers.
“Youniang, the Shen Family also has a cultivator at the realm of Strength Exposure and two cultivators at the realm of Strength Protection. If we confront them with toughness, we are no match for them.”
“Uncle, why do they make trouble for us?” He Youniang turns around and asks the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man hesitates and heaves a sigh, saying with a bitter smile, “Actually, it is not that complicated. They are after the He Family’s assets. The Shen Family once proposed a marriage to our family.”
“Proposed a marriage? The Shen Family? To marry whom?” He Youniang is taken aback.
The middle-aged man takes a glance at her and coughs.
Although he doesn’t say anything, his answer is rather obvious.
He Youniang snorts, “Do the Shen Family deserve to do that?”
“Youniang, it is not that simple. This is only an excuse made up by them,” The middle-aged man says resignedly, “Their real purpose is to create difficulty for the He Family.”
He Youniang frowns.
“The Shen Family is an ancient martial arts family in Shanxi, but I’m aware of their capability. They are not bold enough to provoke the He Family. Even if they are coveting the assets of the He Family, they don’t dare to put it into practice or have the ability to kill my father.”
“It is true but the Shen Family has support.”
“Support?” He Youniang is taken aback, “Who is it?”
“Qi Sword Sect in Xiangshan.”
“Qi Sword Sect...” He Youniang frowns, “The He Family has no grudge against them... Forget it. As my teacher says, people all go after profits. It must be because they want to split the He Family’s assets with the Shen Family that they are willing to help the Shen Family. Haha. However, on what ground do they think they can occupy our family? Besides, I am a student of the Cultivation Academy. They know that too.”
Although He Youniang has left the Cultivation Academy, the master of the He Family is dead for a few days. The opponents have set up the trap for a long time. When the incidence happened, He Youniang was still the student of Haicheng Cultivation Academy.
“You know the character of Master. He wouldn’t tell you these things. Moreover, you were only a student of Haicheng Cultivation Academy, not a member of the Dragon Court...”
He Youniang doesn’t speak, still ruminating about the matter.
“I heard that my father was killed by Shen Zaiyang. I’m aware of Shen Zaiyang’s capability. He is no match for my father, even if he has reached the realm of Strength Exposure.”
“I don’t know about that...” The middle-aged man says.
He Youniang is still dubious, but she doesn’t ask further.
“Let’s go and meet the people of the Shen Family.”
“Okay...”
The middle-aged man leads the way while He Youniang follows him.
The street outside the gate is bustling with noises.
The He Family and the Shen Family are confronting face to face.
“The Shen Family, get out of here!” A young man yells.
“Humph, if you don’t go, I’ll let you die here!”
The Shen Family snort.
“The master of the He Family is dead. The present He Family is a tiger without fangs. How dare you be so arrogant?”
“Exactly. Moreover, we are here today to propose. Haha. Our second young master will be the husband of the lady of the He Family. How dare you talk in this way?”
The people of the Shen Family look as extremely proud as the victors.
In the middle of the Shen Family is a young man, who is the second young master of the Shen Family, called Shen Weihe. He is just over 30 years old, holding two walnuts in his hand with narrowed eyes, calm and peaceful. He looks about 1.8 meters tall but he is really not good-looking, with triangular eyes, turned-up nose, and eyebrows almost joining together.
“Back off!” The middle-aged man next to He Youniang shouts.
“Second Master is here!”
“Everyone back off. Second Master is here!”
The He Family hasten to step away.
He Youniang looks disgruntled. She is walking ahead of her uncle but the others only keep calling the second master and seem to pay no attention to her. However, it is pretty normal. Although He Youniang is not weak, she is a girl anyway. Moreover, she seldom cares about the matters of the He Family and only focuses on elevating her cultivation level.
“Hey, Second Master He, how come you come out so late?” Shen Weihe says grinningly.
“Hum. How dare you! Our master’s remains are scarcely cold yet. And you dare to come here and make a fuss. Do you think that we are push-overs?” Second Master He says with a furious look.
He Youniang still remains calm and ponders.
