Yun Bixue snickered. “They sure calculated well!”
She understood now that there were some influences at the headquarters trying to control Xie Limo, and in turn, control the entire Xie family. A man's greed knows no bounds.
She had to raise her own children herself. Whoever dared touch her kids, she would kill that person.
As a mother, it was her responsibility to protect her children. For this, she didn't mind getting blood on her hands.
Second Elder's wound was still bleeding, and his face was pale as a sheet, having difficulty even breathing.
Yun Bixue kicked him. “Everyone has confessed. What more do you wish to say?”
Second Elder took a glance at Yun Bixue with much effort and laughed.
“Why are you laughing?”
“Yun Bixue, although you're capable and ruthless enough, you're merely relying on Young Master Xie and the Xie family's hidden guards to protect you. You're no match for the Elder's Home and various halls. No matter how formidable you are, you are no match for them…”
A hidden guard grabbed Second Elder by the neck. “You're still talking stubbornly!”
Yun Bixue waved a hand and said calmly, “Let him continue!”
“Cough cough… Yun Bixue, you can kill me… but the headquarters won't let you off. As long as the child carries the Xie family's blood, he will have to undergo training at Brocade Hall, whether alive or dead. Cough cough… What you say doesn't count!”
Yun Bixue's forces were all hidden, so Second Elder had no idea how powerful and influential she was. Even if she didn't use her forces, merely relying on her connections, she could kill Second Elder countless times.
Of course, they didn't know all these.
Yun Bixue said with a cold smile, “You think what you say counts then, Second Elder? Xie Limo is the one who calls the shots at the Xie family. It doesn't matter what anyone else says.”
One day, she was going to get rid of those rules at the Xie family headquarters and get rid of the evil forces.
In the past, she felt curious and in awe of the Xie family headquarters, but today, she didn't feel that way. Now, she wanted to rise above them and call the shots.
She wanted to be the master of her own life, and more importantly, she wanted the ability to protect her own children well.
In the end, Yun Bixue asked the hidden guards to slice off the tendons in their limbs before lodging their shoulders with iron chains. This way, they wouldn't be able to escape.
But Yun Bixue indicated with her gaze for two of those contemptuous people to be brought forward. Yun Bixue directly stabbed them with a knife.
“The two of you helped pa.s.s on the letter, so you deserve to die!”
Some of the remaining people fainted from the shock. They didn't understand why Yun Bixue knew so clearly.
Too scary!
Yun Bixue then got someone to impose as Second Elder to give out a signal, to lure Dongfang Mujin here so she could get rid of them all at once.
Right now, Dongfang Mujin was being chased by Xie Limo and had nowhere to hide.
On a sh.o.r.e somewhere, Dongfang Mujin had the baby in his arms as he looked around at the people with him. Along the way, with Xie Limo hot on his tracks, chasing after him for his life, only a hundred over were left of those thousand men he brought with him.
He had to make a new a.s.sessment of Xie Limo. In the short span of a few years, his influence and capabilities had gone up several levels.
With a dark expression, he said, “Young Master Xie, by pitting yourself against Brocade Hall, you're pitting yourself against the rules of the Xie family.”
With a cold and murderous aura, Xie Limo said, “Dongfang Mujin, if you're dead, no one will know I'm pitting myself against them.”
“Haha! Xie Limo, if you wish to kill me, that depends on whether you have the capability. Don't forget your child is still in my hands!”
Looking at the baby in Dongfang Mujin's arms, Xie Limo's heart quivered.
