ATBLM [QT] Chapter 144.2

At this time, in the main courtyard, Liu Xingfeng was talking to Ling Yuan, with a rare serious expression on his face, “Recently, the Demon Cult has become more and more lawless. Murderous cases have happened one after another. My father sent me a message asking me to return to the Martial Arts Alliance as soon as possible. It is imperative to conquer the Demon Cult. Will Brother Ling go with me?”

Ling Yuan nodded, and his tone was also heavy, “The members of the Demon Cult do many evil things. Naturally, I can’t just sit back and watch. I will immediately let someone make arrangements and set off tomorrow.”

“Okay,” Liu Xingfeng nodded repeatedly and was about to say more when he suddenly remembered something and clicked his tongue in distress.

“Brother Ling also saw my cousin just now. He is my Aunt’s only son. He has been very arrogant and naughty since he was a child. We will be traveling with him in the next few days. If he gets into trouble, I will apologize to Brother Ling for some trouble first.”

Ling Yuan said gently: “Why is Brother Liu like this?”

Liu Xingfeng smiled bitterly, “You don’t know his nature. My Aunt gave birth to him when she was nearly forty years old. He was like a treasure. He was spoiled to no end. He was just a demon king. My father scolded me every day, but compared to him, what I did when I was a kid was nothing but trivial matters.”

After talking to Ling Yuan for a while, he was worried about his little cousin, fearing that he would get into trouble again, so he hurried to the guest house.

In the guest house, Miss Gu was also persuading Young Master Gu: “Brother, you should control your temper. This is not our home. If you get angry at people randomly, it will be very difficult for Cousin.”

Young Master Gu raised his eyebrows and said, “Who asked him to be with Sister Ningxiang all day long? Cousin will be Sister’s husband from now on, how can he like others?”

“You, what are you talking nonsense.” Miss Gu hurriedly covered her face with a veil, “Who said Cousin is mine…”

“Mom said it,” Young Master Gu said matter-of-factly: “And Sister, don’t you like him? If you like him, let him marry you and go home. Mom also said that Cousin is kind-hearted and can easily be deceived by those mean women like his father. When the time comes, Sister will be as sad as his mother, so I have to watch Cousin. If other women dare to lie to him, well, let’s see how I deal with them!”

Miss Gu was so embarrassed that her younger brother revealed her true feelings. It took her a long time to say: “Then, there’s no need to do this. After all, she’s a maid of someone else’s house, and she won’t follow Cousin home, so he won’t be able to see her again.”

“Who said that?” Young Master Gu said, “I heard Cousin talking before, saying that there is a very beautiful cook in Mingshan Village, and he wants to take her back.”

“That’s why you asked the cook to see you just now?” Miss Gu suddenly realized.

Young Master Gu said, “That’s right. If Sister hadn’t stopped me, I might have taught people a lesson by now.”

Miss Gu frowned slightly and sighed melancholy after a long time, “What’s the use of teaching them a lesson…”

“I don’t care!” Young Master Gu said angrily, “I’m going to teach them a lesson anyway. Sister, don’t worry about it. I already have an idea.”

When Liu Xingfeng returned to the guest house, he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his cousin was safe. However, he found out the next day that he was relieved too early.

The group of them had packed up and were just waiting to set off, but Young Master Gu was making a fuss in the courtyard. He felt that the journey was too hard, and Liu Xingfeng had to find someone to serve him.

Liu Xingfeng quarreled with him, but he refused to listen to his advice, scolded him, and even beat him. This bastard was his Aunt’s lifeblood, so he couldn’t afford to pay for any damage he caused.

The commotion was so loud that Ling Yuan had no choice but to ask for a few words.

Young Master Gu said arrogantly, “I want that Ningxiang to serve me!”

In fact, this was not a big deal. Originally, there was a female family member in their team, Miss Gu, who needed to be taken care of in the carriage, so the journey would not be fast. They just wanted Ningxiang to ride in the car with them. But Ningxiang was from Mingshan Village, so Liu Xingfeng was embarrassed to speak.

Ling Yuan told the manager to ask Ningxiang to clean up and prepare to set off together.

Young Master Gu was very proud. Even though he was young, he was very thoughtful. He deliberately made trouble in front of Ling Yuan, just to see that as the host, he would not make his guests unhappy because of a maid.

“There is also a cook named Qin Sanniang, bring her to cook for me!”

“Hey, it’s almost done.” Liu Xingfeng warned.

Young Master Gu saw that he was really angry, so he used his coquettish skills to pester him: “I just need to bring the cook with me. Cousin, please promise me. Otherwise, I won’t be able to eat well on the road. If I lose weight, my mother will feel bad. Promise me, Cousin…”

Liu Xingfeng hissed with a headache and looked at Ling Yuan helplessly.

Ling Yuan’s expression was still gentle, and he was not impatient. He asked someone to go to the kitchen to inform the cook.

“You are satisfied now!” Liu Xingfeng said angrily, feeling a little sorry for Ningxiang and Jiang Rui, but he didn’t have time to ask them if they were willing, so he could only apologize later.

Jiang Rui, Mama Li, and others were preparing lunch in the kitchen. When they heard the news, they were too surprised. She hurriedly said goodbye to the people in the kitchen, went back, packed two pieces of clothing, and set off.

She and Ningxiang were riding in a carriage, following Miss Gu and Young Master Gu’s carriage.

Young Master Gu called upon the two of them to follow him. There were a lot of things going on along the way, but Jiang Rui was better off.

She was the cook, and since there were towns along the way where they stayed, ate, and slept in inns, she had not yet been put to use.

Ningxiang was more unlucky. Young Master Gu asked her to make tea for one moment and then beat his legs for another, but he thought that the tea was too hot and the beating was too heavy.

Not long after, he said that the carriage was so boring, and he wanted a pretty girl named Ningxiang to catch bugs for him. There were so many ways to torment people, but these things were not a big deal. Ningxiang just wanted to complain, but there was no place to complain.

Jiang Rui saw this and couldn’t stand the naughty child. When he ordered her to serve the meal, she added some ingredients to the meal. In the next half-day trip, Young Master Gu ran out of the carriage and squatted on the roadside to pull the carriage four or five times. After that, he was exhausted all day long and finally had no energy to trouble anyone.

Two days later, the group of people walked to a mountain forest. It started to rain. As they were preparing to rest in a temple not far away, a group of men in black suddenly appeared in the forest and attacked them silently.

“Demon Cult!” Liu Xingfeng was shocked and angry.
