Chapter 704 - 704 Stuck in a Memory

704 Stuck in a Memory

He had been studying hard during every waking moment.

In comparison, Yuan Qing was lazy and laid back. Despite that, he had dominated the rankings.

A month before the exam, he had stayed at his teachers house and asked for three hours of lessons every day.

Every day, he dragged his exhausted body back to practice until five in the morning.

Xia Gui had originally thought that he would be able to surpa.s.s Yuan Qing this time, but in the end, he was still one point lower than Yuan Qing.

Get lost! Pack your things and scram to your aunts house tomorrow. Dont let me see you again!

His mother showed no mercy. She kicked Xia Gui away again and walked out.

The door was slammed shut, and another tooth was kicked out. Xia Gui was already numb, and his heart was cold.

Why was his score one point lower?

Why could he never compare to Yuan Qing?

Was he just trash?

Jiang Ming sighed and tried to comfort Xia Gui. Dont think like that. You have time to figure things out.

However, Xia Gui could not hear his voice at all. He could only continue to be sad.

Bad things started to happen.

Slap!

Xia Gui raised his hand and slapped himself hard.

Slap!

Xia Gui slapped himself again.

Slap!

The third slap woke Xia Gui up completely.

Xia Guis gaze turned vicious. His mothers words and Yuan Qings score flashed through his mind.

He could not become trash.

He could not suffer his fathers fate.

He could not lose his mother.

If Yuan Qing died, then he would be selected from the meeting!

Jiang Ming saw that Xia Gui had arranged for Yuan Qing to practice martial arts at the back of the mountain.

This was the best place to bury a corpse.

Then, the mirror turned, and Jiang Ming saw Xia Gui and a chubby child standing in front of him.

He guessed that this chubby child was Yuan Qing, and he could not help but worry.

Child, dont do anything stupid.

At this time, the acolytes were not on vacation yet, and they were still practicing spells near the back of the mountain.

Yuan Qing looked at Xia Gui in confusion. Xia Gui, why did you invite me here?

Xia Gui took out the dagger he had prepared beforehand and stabbed it into Yuan Qings heart. He leaned close to his ear and said coldly, Yuan Qing, go to h.e.l.l. The spot in the alliance meeting can only be mine.

Yuan Qing seemed to be a little surprised, but he also seemed to recover very quickly. Thank

He seemed to want to say something, but it was not clear.

Xia Gui did not listen carefully, thinking that he might want to ask why he was being killed.

However, Jiang Ming was confused.

Yuan Qing was killed. Why would he still thank his murderer?

Could Xia Guis wish this time be to let him figure things out?

Then, he saw some of Xia Guis memories.

In those memories, Xia Gui and Yuan Qing talked, laughed, practiced swordsmans.h.i.+p together, and so on.

Jiang Ming could not help but feel conflicted.

Xia Gui and Yuan Qing were best friends.

But now, Xia Gui had killed Yuan Qing.

All of this was truly unbelievable.

Xia Gui could feel his body gradually weakening, and he fell down onto Yuan Qing.

Blood flowed out of the wound, staining Xia Guis robes and the ground around him.

Ah!

Just as Xia Gui was about to bury the body, a scream came from behind him.

By the time Xia Gui realized something, the person who had discovered it had already run away.

The person who discovered it went to the Cultivator Alliance.

Xia Gui had been caught.

Xia Gui was also asked to be punished by Yuan Qings parents.

Jiang Ming saw the scene at the judgment conference again, and he was momentarily speechless.

Xia Gui was the only one sitting on the right side of the table.

Xia Guis parents sat on the left side of the table.

Jiang Ming did not know what to say for a moment.

Clearly, Xia Gui used to be a pure and kind child.

Xia Guis parents had a conflict in their early years because of the differences in their alliances, and they were separated. Xia Gui was given to his mother.

As for Xia Gui, he had been abandoned by his mother because of his results in the exam.

Yuan Qings father yelled at Xia Gui. Yuan Qing was so good to you. Why did you kill him? He was going to do great things! You killed him! If I had known that you would kill Yuan Qing, I wouldnt have let you two be friends. I should have killed you first!

Yuan Qings mother covered her face as she sobbed. She was already shaking and did not even have the strength to criticize Xia Gui. My child, my poor child

Sorry, I really needed his spot.

Xia Guis conscience made him apologize, but his expression was cold.

Yuan Qing did not need that spot.

He was born into a free and pampered family.

His parents did not care if he could go to the Alliance or not. His parents would support him no matter what.

It was not the same for Xia Gui.

His mother would scorn and abuse him every time he did something she did not like.

She had treated him like this for many things in the past.

Jiang Ming could not help but sigh.

Xia Gui was ultimately destroyed by his mother!

Some of Xia Guis memories appeared in front of Jiang Ming again.

Xia Gui would never forget his mothers words. Im doing this for your own good.

This spot could save Xia Guis life.

Yuan Qing could still have lived without this spot.

If they were both going to die, then it would be better to let Xia Gui go to the Alliance first.

After some discussion, the Alliance Master finalized the verdict. Young Master Xia of the Xia family is not guilty of any crime and will be released today!

It was obvious that Yuan Qings parents could not accept this result and caused a ruckus at the scene.

In the end, they were made to leave.

Yuan Qings parents did not give up. They complained about the injustice of the trial at the entrance of the building every day.

Jiang Ming was dumbfounded.

Was the leader of the Judgement a.s.sociation seriously ill?

Was he just going to let the murderer go?

This verdict quickly caused an uproar in society.

Xia Gui and the Alliance Master were at the center of the storm. The people who criticized and defended Xia Gui and the Alliance Master formed a strong contrast.

As for Xia Gui, because no one took him away, he was temporarily left in the Alliance.

Hearing this news, Xia Gui was shocked as well.

How can I be protected after killing someone? Is it because Im not an adult yet?

Then, the people from the Alliance looked at Xia Gui meaningfully. You are very good-looking.

Xia Gui smiled.

He did not expect that some peoples moral judgment was based on appearances.

His mother had once told him that everyone was extremely tolerant of good-looking people, and now it seemed that it was true.

Jiang Ming was confused.

How could anyone forgive someone because of their appearance?

At this moment, someone from the Alliance informed Xia Gui, Someone is here to pick you up.
