Legend of the Moon Sword
Unloaded (2)

Instantly, the atmosphere that had been lively on that morning became silent for a moment. There was the sound of whispering coming from the crowd of servants. And of course that made Lady Fei even more cornered.

"You! Why is that nonsense?!" Lin Mei reprimanded. His index finger pointed at Zhi Yuo.

Zhi Yuo looked at him with a cold look. It was quite troublesome, whereas now he was dealing with Lady Fei. While Mr. Gu was just speechless, he did not know and did not understand what to do. Seeing Zhi Yuo's gaze alone had scared him to take a step.

Zhi Yuo let out an innocent smile of his mainstay, he tried to answer Lin Mei.

"I'm not talking nonsense, this is real~".

Madam Fei's eyebrows bent sharply. His hands clenched, his sharp nails tearing at his own palms. Blood dripped from there. Right, this kid is so wrong. Though he was just a new servant at the residence, but knew about Mr. Gu's medicine.

"Oh, yeah! I am the servant assigned to deliver the gift from Lady Fei to Mr. Gu. I'll get the goods now" said Zhi Yuo. He quickly turned around and picked up something right behind the crowd of servants.

"What's? " Mistress Fei was confused again when the boy said he wanted to bring her husband a gift. As he remembered, the item was now on the train. But why did the boy know about the gift?!.

Crushed already.

Lady Fei called Lin Mei with a gesture of eye contact. Lin Mei said, slowly she walked towards Madam Gu.

"What the fuck?! Why is there a little bully when our action goes on?!" Madam Gu snapped in a whisper..

Lin Mei trembled when she heard him. And with a voice that was no less trembling he apologized.

"Sorry Madam.. S-I'm really not very thorough..".

Madam Fei sighed in annoyance, her hand twitching her own forehead. Dizziness just goes along with panic.

Zhi Yuo came out from the crowd with a big box in his hand. It was unmistakable, it was a gift prepared for Master Gu. Zhi Yuo nodded, he approached Master Gu and lowered his head while thrusting the box.

" Please take Mr,"

"How presumptuous! What do you mean?!" Lady Fei spoke out loudly. He could no longer hold back his anger.

Zhi Yuo gave him a plain contrived look.

"Ah..why are you scolding me? I'm just a waiter, so this is my job. I just want to help,"

Madam Fei's teeth were chattering. I don't know why, he couldn't do anything. He was locked by Zhi Yuo's sharp gaze.

Zhi Yuo retreated, while Mr. Gu opened the gift box his wife gave him. Instantly he was shocked when he opened it, and it made Lady Fei gasp.

"Fey, you prepared this for me?" Ask Mr. Gu.

Lady Fei looked at what was inside the box, and it could make her breathe more relieved when the gift she gave to Master Gu was still intact.

It really is a gift, right?.

Mr. Gu smiled when he saw the gift from his wife. A stack of books was also an expensive pen brought from outside the city. And that was enough to make him both surprised and happy. His wife knew very well that he liked to read.

"Thank you Fei, I didn't think you'd be-".

Mr. Gu's words were interrupted when he saw the folds of paper tucked between the books. Madam Fei who had felt somewhat relieved returned to panic. Master Gu took out a few folds of the paper and lifted it up.

" What is this?" He asks.

Lady Fei felt familiar with the paper that her husband held. He shakily asked, "My husband, what did you find?".

Mr. Gu did not reply, he unfolded it which turned out to be a letter.

" Letter? This yours? And... Lin Mei..?"

The deg!

Whether it was Lady Fei or Lin Mei, both of them felt the same feeling. Lin Mei felt her heart would stop instantly when she saw all that. The folding of the letter he wrote was in Master Gu's hands! How come?!.

Zhi Yuo watched them from down there. Shortly afterwards a grin was adorned on his lips.

"Please read, Tuan~"

"What are you doing?! Whoever's got him!" Madam Fei shouted, making one room echo.

Someone's steps sounded clear from behind, then a shadow leaped upwards about to pounce on Zhi Yuo. The servants screamed in fear, they quickly stepped aside in order to avoid the impending doom.

Zhi Yuo glanced upwards, and all he saw was a fist that had stayed a few inches away from his face.

Brak!

"Fey! Wait up!" Master Gu interceded when he saw the exact incident in front of his own eyes.

The expensive slippery wooden floor had cracked right then and there. Fists stuck between pieces of wood. Zhi Yuo stared at it all with an expressionless face. He tilted his head to the side, trying to see the face covered in long hair.

The person got up, pulling the fist that had previously landed on the floor. His body was taller than Zhi Yuo, his face was handsome yet horrifyingly impressed. From any point of view Zhi Yuo assumed that this person was no ordinary person.

"His martial ability may as well, visible from his hand that can shatter the floor, ".

The man prepared with his horses, with a glare of sharp eyes he looked at Zhi Yuo.

" Get ready, little boy,"

Instantly a fist again right in front of Zhi Yuo's face. It's very fast, it can't count fingers. He is an experienced man.

Zhi Yuo avoided him, even though he had almost been hit by that person's blow. If it were to happen, it could have had its nose crushed in the blink of an eye.

Mr. Gu who saw the fight was trying to break up, but suddenly his voice disappeared due to his relapsing illness. Lady Fei helped her husband who was about to fall, while she saw their fights that had not yet grown.

"Just calm down my husband, Ju Ran will take care of everything," Madam Fei calmed her husband down. He knew that his personal subordinate could definitely defeat Zhi Yuo. His quite high martial ability made him unable to be underestimated just like that.

Ju Ran continued to throw his lightning fist at Zhi Yuo. Zhi Yuo continued to avoid him, trying to see the gap from this person. There was almost no gap, his attacks were very neat.

"Hm.attractive," Zhi Yuo pulled the corner of her lips. When he was already feeling cornered, he finally dodged to the side until Ju Ran's punch missed once again.

"Your fighting style is good," Zhi Yuo praised in the middle of their fight.

Ju Ran snorted, he readied the energy on his legs.

"Don't judge me as good as you!"

Ju Ran's kick floated right into Zhi Yuo's head. The target dodged shrewdly, then jumped a few steps back.

Ju Ran again attacked, he used the legs as a means of resistance. Zhi Yuo was cornered all the way to the wall, then Ju Ran raised his leg once again and aimed for the boy's neck.

But that deadly attack was lightly blocked by Zhi Yuo. The boy only needed his left hand to hold Ju Ran's leg from hitting his neck.

Zhi Yuo grinned widely, "Shoot me until your strength runs out!".

Ju Ran growled when he heard it. Zhi Yuo jumped up, even now he could reach the ceiling of the house. Ju Ran followed, with his hands about to grab Zhi Yuo's neck and hit him to the ceiling of the house. But it didn't work.

Right after he reached for Zhi Yuo's neck, the boy instantly countered his more sadistic attack. Zhi Yuo exerted all his strength on his feet. With his second position still jumping in the air, Zhi Yuo swung his legs, and stuck them right in Ju Ran's stomach.

Ju Ran felt pressure on his stomach. Zhi Yuo's heel stuck there, and it made him reflexively coughed.

Pork!

The servants screamed in horror as Ju Ran fell on the hard wooden floor. Floor pieces scattered everywhere.

"J-Ju Ran?! ".

Zhi Yuo rubbed the corners of his lips, then occupied Ju Ran's back with a satisfied face full of victory. He saw the face of Ju Ran who had fainted accompanied by a mouth to let out foam.

" Hei~ Look boy, I won~" Zhi Yuo tilted his head.

He drew closer to Ju Ran's ear and started whispering something.

"Your fighting technique is good until you dare to fight me. That's great, but you need to remember that I've been practicing for years away from you,"

Zhi Yuo chuckled at Ju Ran's helpless condition. Zhi Yuo got up, tidied up his appearance and noticed the surroundings.

"Why is everyone so scared?" He asked in an innocent tone.

Lin Mei let out a soft scream, she retreated backwards and was unwilling to see Zhi Yuo's face at all. It's been traumatized by the rat carcass and now he has to see the creepy boy fighting the adults.

Zhi Yuo snorted, paying no more attention to the people who thought it was creepy. He turned back to Lady Fei who looked at him with a panicked and frightened look. Especially when she saw her husband reading her secret letter with Lin Mei.

Mr. Gu's hand could no longer hold onto the sheet of paper he was reading. He was weak when he found out what he had found in the letters of the two of them.

"My husband.." Lady Fei called Mister Gu, walked up to him and clasped his hands.

"That's all. I can explain it! that..it's all a lie! I swear-".

" Vow to what? Want to curse from your mistakes with the words 'swear' you are not necessarily true?".

Lady Fei turned to Zhi Yuo. He pointed at the boy with tears that could no longer be held back.

"YOU! EXPLAIN WHAT YOU WANT! I WAS IN FRONT OF MY OWN HUSBAND! NOT SHY!!"

Right after Madam Fei snapped, the room went back to silence. The sobs of Madam Fei filled the room. Zhi Yuo who heard that then raised his head higher.

"Oh... Is that so? Want more clear evidence?".

Zhi Yuo looked back. Right at the exit, two people were standing there. Yan Yan stared at the scene in front of him with mixed feelings.

Mistress Fei who was crying, Lord Gu who was looking down, Lin Mei who was cursing at the back, was also a crowd of servants who for some reason had their facial expressions looked very confusing.

Amidst his confusion, a young man next to him rebuked.

"Anu.. lady, when are we going in?"

Yan Yan Yan gasped in shock, he had forgotten that he was bringing people here.

"Ah, yes! S-please enter the healer Shan,"

Yan Yan said excuse me first. They walked in tandem, heading in front of Master Gu. Yan Yan cupped his hands and lowered his head as a sign of respect, but Master Gu did not pierce it at all.

Yan Yan knew, something unpleasant happened here. He sent the young healer he brought here to face Mr. Gu directly, while he approached Zhi Yuo.

"What are you doing?!" Yan Yan whispered in an annoyed tone out of his mouth.

Zhi Yuo did not answer him with words, he simply stuck his index finger in front of his lips, signaling that Yan Yan should be silent.

Yan Yan Yan gasped, he let Zhi Yuo approach the young physician Shang alone. Now the two of them faced Master Gu and Lady Fei.

"Let's see if this is slander," Zhi Yuo patted the shoulder of the young physician Shang who wasn't even too far tall compared to him.

"Give me the cure, healer Shang," Zhi Yuo told him. The healer nodded, opened his bag and took out a bottle of medicine which shocked everyone to death.

"Look at this," Zhi Yuo lifted the medicine bottle up in the air, showing it to everyone there.

"Mrs Fei, are you familiar with this medicine?"

Lady Fei could not say anything. She just sat down next to her husband. His eyes reddened with rage, his teeth grinding until he bit his own lower lip. Blood flowed from there, causing her tiny lips that had been polished by a lip reddener to become redder.

"Tabib Shang, can you explain what ingredients are contained in this medicine?" Zhi Yuo asked.

The young healer Shang nodded, he took out a piece of paper from the bag he was carrying and read it aloud.

"After examination, this drug is an herbal remedy that serves to strengthen the immune system. But there are some harmful substances found in the drug. Especially high enough doses of toxins, this can cause damage to important organs such as the heart and lungs,"

Madam Fei sobbed even more when she heard it. Suddenly Lin Mei came forward to refute.

"What the fuck?! Dare to come here without permission, lest you be a fake healer!"

Young physician Shang gaped wide when he heard Lin Mei's words. A crossroad of veins protruded on his forehead.

"Hey, miss! I am a really healer know! Look what's in my bag! Don't accuse me of dong!" The young healer Shang denied back, he opened his bag and thrust it at Lin Mei.

"W-how can I trust you?!"

"Just ask my father! He's the famous healer in the village!"

Lin Mei could no longer fight back. Now she was distracted by Lady Fei kneeling to her husband. Master Gu's gaze was blank, he lost his warm smile and could only stare at the cold floor.

"Don't.don't listen to them.please..." Madame Fei squeezed Mr. Gu's clothes, her crying grew even more so.

"Jey.." Master Gu called out to him.

"I did not expect, it turns out that you have not been happy about our marriage,"

Lady Fei looked at her husband's face with tears that had even shed her makeup.

A warm but pain-filled smile appeared on Mr. Gu's face.

"It looks like I'm too mean to you, I'm sorry Fei,"

He got up from his seat, leaving Lady Fei behind just like that.

"My husband! Waitaminute! i... I can explain everything!".

Mr. Gu stopped his steps, looking back to see his wife's face.

Then he smiled, "Fey, maybe we should live each other's lives,".

Lady Fei's voice calling him was no longer ignored, Master Gu was firm in his stance to keep going from there. Lightning struck, Lady Fei screamed along with the accompanying lightning flash. It rained heavily, accompanying Madam Fei's wasted tears. The crying still sounded clear.

Zhi Yuo was glued there. Staring at Madame Fei who was still crying sobbing. Accidents happened to that woman. But this is a crime that must be exposed.

Zhi Yuo clenched his hands. Xie Jia almost died from the poison, and he still wanted to kill Master Gu just for the reason that he did not love her at all.

"Well..." Zhi Yuo sighed softly.

"A sad love story,"
