Girl, I'll Teach You Cultivation-Chapter 220
Jiang Xiu's deified appearance slowly began to disappear, and his eyes became normal again along with his hair returning to its short form. His facial features weren't that perfect anymore and resembled the former Jiang Xiu's appearance.
But this didn't lessen the fear felt by the members of the Jiang family. The fear they felt increased as Jiang Xiu returned to his formed appearance as this meant that Jiang Xiu was really Jiang Luoxia.
He walked in front of Jiang Yishan and gazed at him. Elder Jiang didn't have the same aggressiveness as before now. "Jiang Yishan, I've killed your strongest reliance. What else do you have?"
Elder Jiang gazed at Jiang Xiu with great billows surging in his heart. His fingernails pricked deep into his palms. Jiang Xiu had hidden quite deeply, and Elder Jiang never expected this to be his trump card. He slowly closed his eyes and revealed a bitter smile, "Jiang Xiu, were you always plotting to take revenge on my Jiang family?"
"That's right! You were the reason my father had to spend the prime of his life in prison and also the reason my mother wasted herself all those years. I suffered from ridicule and humiliation all my childhood due to this. I wanted to take revenge for all this hatred."
His tone was terrifyingly emotionless. Elder Jiang could no longer keep calm. Jiang Xiu currently had the strength to crush the Jiang family.
An ice-cold killing intent rushed out Jiang Xiu's eyes, "If someone opposes me, I never take one life for another. That's what I, Jiang Luoxia, said. I will make your entire Jiang family disappear from this world."
"Aaah!"
The members of the Jiang family cried out in alarm. Jiang Xiu's words made them tremble all over, making them feel a chill on their backs. It was as if they were facing the final trial and sentenced to the death penalty.
"Hmph!"
Elder Jiang grunted, "You believe you aren't a member of the Jiang family?"
The Jiang family members were already wallowing in despair, but a slight hope emerged in their hearts after hearing this. He was also a member of the Jiang family. They believed there was a chance he wouldn't act completely heartless as they were relatives.
Jiang Xiu almost laughed out and couldn't help but shake his head. "Jiang Yishan, do you even consider us a part of your Jiang family? The way you treated us was 100 times worse than the way you treat your enemies. Don't delude yourself into thinking I'll suddenly find my conscience like how my parents hoped you will. That won't ever happen."
"Little Xiu. Grandfather was in the wrong before. Please forgive Grandfather, okay? I'll use all my power to compensate for the grievances your family suffered."
"Hahahaha…"
Jiang Xiu sniggered. This person was too shameless. "Alright. It's quite simple for you to make up for it. For all the pain your Jiang family has made my family suffer, and for my father-in-law lying in the hospital, all you have to do is die and get buried."
He suddenly raised his hand up.
Bang!
Jiang Hao gave out an alarmed scream. He got sliced into two halves up in the air, causing blood to rain down. The surrounding people also began to scream.
"AAAAAHHHH…."
They were scared shitless. One of them suddenly cried out, "Don't kill me! I have no relations to the Jiang family."
It was actually Jiang Hao's wife.
"I'm also the same. This Daddy wanted this old fart to croak as well." The one who said this was the husband of a woman from the Jiang family. He was the person who was suppressed at the position of a Director due to saying the wrong words.
"I hate the Jiang family as well!"
One of the grandsons of the family spoke up.
Elder Jiang roared madly, "What are you doing? My Jiang family hasn't met its end yet. You thankless wretches. My Jiang family raised you up for so many years, and you actually dare to betray me?"
"Old bastard. Man pays for his sins sooner or later. We've suffered enough humiliation at your side. Our lives were the same as dogs, getting hit and scolded frequently. I've had enough of it already."
"You're a conscienceless monster. People say that even beasts take care of their children, but you're even worse than a beast for harming your own child."
These people only revered Jiang Yishan's authority. This family never had affection and only had eyes for benefits. Now that those benefits are gone, all the grievances that had accumulated over the years had erupted out.
Power, wealth and greed had muddled their eyes.
Jiang Yi and Lin Yueling said nothing.
"Jiang Yishan, do you have anything else to say?"
Elder Jiang had a dead look on his face as if he were a walking corpse. He raised his head to look towards Jiang Xiu. Several emotions flashed through his eyes, anger, doubt, loss… all of it finally condensed into deep remorse.
"I…"
He couldn't say anything at all. He knew that the Jiang family was finished.
Jiang Xiu turned around to leave in large strides. "Father, Mother… let's go!"
After they left, the courtyard door was closed by someone.
"LET US GO! NOOOO!"
On this night of the Mid-autumn festival, the full moon hung up high in the sky. There seemed to be faint blood-colored layer overlapping the moon's surface.
The closing of the doors of the prominent Jiang family's home indicated that this family was no more. Similar to the thunderous rainy day when Lin Yueling had knelt in front of this gate along with the then 5-year old Jiang Xiu, these firmly shut doors would never open.
Jiang Xiu and his parents descended along the mountain road. The people on the Donglu Mountain were descending similarly. There was no other go as some parts of the road were blocked due to the giant rocks which had fallen from the Reddrop Peak as a result of the Demigod battle. That's why the vehicles were currently unable to pass through.
Lin Yueling was utterly stunned seeing the 1-2 m tall rocks. This had all happened due to the fight her son had with the other person. She was quite excited. Her son had grown up and had such unimaginable abilities.
"Father, Mother, let's go celebrate the Mid-autumn festival!"
"Together with Hanlin's family!"
"How about we go to the hospital now?"
Jiang Xiu asked, "Father, you don't blame Uncle Cheng?"
Jiang Yi shook his head, "To tell the truth, he was also a victim back then. He was forced to betray me. It must've been hard for him to endure it all along. And now, he has even…"
Lin Yueling added in, "Actually, he was implicated into this due to our family. We are the ones who truly let him down."
Jiang Xiu nodded.
If Cheng Hanlin weren't Jiang Yi's close brother, the Jiang family would've never approached him. Jiang Yi said, "Little Xiu, The Cheng Conglomerate was painstakingly created by your Uncle Cheng. Since everything is finished now, return it to your Uncle Cheng, okay?"
Although some unpleasant things had happened in the previous life, following Jiang Xiu's own words, humans were unable to endure trials. Moreover, Cheng Hanlin was already in the hospital bed now, so it was time to end everything. "Okay!"
…
It was pretty busy inside the hospital. Cheng Hanlin cried out in pain as the doctor injected him with a painkiller. Tears welled up in Sun Xiaohong and Cheng Lingran's eyes due to the worry.
"Hanlin!" Jiang Yi came beside Cheng Hanlin with concern.
"Brother Yi!"
This was the first time Jiang Yi had called his name after the matter from 12 years ago. Even though he felt pain, he still called back to him. It felt as if this one address had removed all the grievances between them, making it seem as if they had returned back to the past.
"You've endured a lot!"
The wounds still hurt after the operation, especially since it had happened only a day ago. Some might've even fainted due to the pain.
"Little Xiu has already taken revenge for you. The Jiang family has already fallen. Everything is over now. I know you were also forced back then… Let's just end that matter with this."
"What do you say?"
Tears fell from Cheng Hanlin's eyes, perhaps it was due to the pain or due to Jiang Yi's words. He nodded with all strength.
"Also, Little Xiu will return the Cheng Conglomerate to you. You must get better soon. The Cheng Conglomerate is waiting for you."
Cheng Hanlin's eyes shone, "R-Really?"
"Of course. That's something you built up. Since the matter is clear now, it'll naturally go back you. Us brothers can be like before, I'll walk on the official path and you on the business path…"
"Mhm, Okay…"
Sun Xiaohong cried while covering her mouth too. She could finally return to being a madame of a wealthy family.
The mood in the ward became quite harmonious.
The sky seemed to have cleared up finally.
Only one person was confused, which was Cheng Lingran, Jiang Xiu's wife in the previous life. She pulled Jiang Xiu's sleeves, hinting him to come out.
"Sis, why did you call me out?"
Jiang Xiu felt a bit worried as he faced Cheng Lingran. She had become pallid over these two days. It seemed like Cheng Hanlin's matter had affected her much.
"What is all this? Revenge? Cheng Conglomerate?"
"Oh! Your Cheng Conglomerate went bankrupt, right? It was actually acquired by a person with evil intentions. My father and I regained it back, so it's under my name now. I'll return it to your father tomorrow."
"It's that simple?" Cheng Lingran asked doubtfully.
"It's that simple!"
