The General's Little Peasant Wife

Chapter 558: Giving Up on The Ling Emperor

Translator: Vesper

His family was the most blissful in the past, there was no fighting in the family, they were like an ordinary family. After he was chosen by the Gu King, they began worrying and his grandfather arranged to send them away.

Because of that, he and Little Qi had the opportunity to leave, but his family was massacred because of so.

Nan Yu’s heart was bleeding when he recalled his grandfather’s words.

When they were being sent off, his grandfather told him, it was best not to return to Miaojiang before they had enough strength, they had to endure it no matter what happened to the family, they must learn how to hide.

But his grandfather was not aware, if it wasn’t for someone saving them, they would have lost their lives long ago.

He reached out his hand and rubbed his face, he did not allow Qing Shuang who was by his side to see his sorry state.

Qing Shuang looked helplessly at this stubborn man: “Nan Yu, I know you are able to exact revenge for your family, don’t be like this, alright?”

Qing Shuang had no way to tell Nan Yu not to pay attention to it, it was because it wasn’t her, she was unable to experience the pain, but she was able to imagine it. If she personally saw her family being killed by others but she had to remain alive in the shadows. If it wasn’t for his strong endurance, he would have long gone mad, or he would be an extreme person.

She was not in the position to advise him, she could only be by his side and quietly comfort him.

”I know, I just couldn’t control my emotions after seeing the enemy,” Nan Yu inhaled a deep breath, not allowing the girl by his side to be worried about him.

Qing Shuang hugged Nan Yu from behind, she placed her face on his shoulder: “Let’s go back.”

Nan Yu turned around and carried Qing Shuang, he leaped forward and jumped down from the roof.

For the first time, Nan Yu was feeling fortunate for having her by his side.

Song Li had a pale face as she lay on the bed, if it wasn’t for her slightly undulating chest, the old man would have thought she had died.

The old man was feeling worried after seeing Song Li in such a manner, how amazing was the Gu worm they planted inside of her?

”I want to return to Miaojiang,” Only by returning to find the King could she remove the Gu worm in her body.

The old man’s eyelids twitched, he furrowed his brows, from the expression in between his brows, it seemed he was not happy.

If she really left, what would happen to the mess over here?

”Then, what about the illusory grass?” The old man continued with the previous topic.

”I, argh......” Song Li who was about to talk screamed. She rolled down from the bed and kept rolling on the floor.

Song Li’s expression was completely distorted, she quickly retracted her thoughts, not daring to have any messy thoughts.

Song Li felt much better after controlling her emotions, but her complexion was still not good.

Right now, she knew why Wu You had escaped from the Gu worm’s control, even she was not willing to endure it.

Such a feeling was really painful, she only had some thoughts and her body experienced another round of bone nibbling pain. It scared Song Li so much that she did not dare to think of anything else.

The old man felt complicated seeing Song Li acting this way, she was injured right in front of him, he was afraid the King and priest would not just let it go.

Song Li slowly got up from the ground, she did not dare to remain as she brought the people who came along with her to leave, she did not even give the old man a chance to stop her.

The old man had a gloomy expression, he looked at Song Li’s departing figure as she led her people. In that case, do not blame him, since he wanted to save his strength.

He turned around and left Song Li’s place, he returned to his own residence. He gathered everyone from Miaojiang who was in the palace, asking them to leave at their quickest speed.

The old man was aware that there would be disadvantages once they evacuated, but for him, it was just giving up on the business which only earned them some benefits.

Right now, it might not seem like they had profited, but being able to leave with their lives still intact was considered not bad.

The Ling Emperor was still unaware of it when the old man took everyone and left.

When the matter was no longer controllable, when each city began losing control, the Ling Emperor sent someone to summon the old man, but when that person went to find him, the old man and his people had vanished without a trace.

The Ling Emperor immediately turned around: “What did you say? Everyone has gone missing?”
