Chapter 3436: Unt.i.tled

Grey rubbed her face hard.

“Ah!”

The girl who was less than twenty years old shouted unwillingly through her fingers.

When she opened her hands, she was as calm as before.

“Gus, come here.”

She waved at her bewildered brother. “Tell me everything. Why did Qin Yong follow you to our house?”

Gus looked at his sister in fear.

But he still went forward out of habit and told her everything.

Grey was silent for a long time. Then she sighed. “It seems that even G.o.d does not want us to avenge our father. That’s why we were discovered…”

“Sister, what should we do now?”

Gus said timidly, “Why don’t you ask uncle for help in secret?”

“Don’t be silly. Our good uncle is the most loyal minion of the Temple of Fist. I’m an evil Cultivator who believes in the power of machines and steam. If I fall into his hands, I won’t have a good ending. He will definitely kill my family for justice.”

Grey pondered for a moment and said, “However, it’s rare for Red Gold Town to hold a fire to educate the people and clean up the mess. At the very least, Uncle wouldn’t remember you until tonight. Even if he did, a busy man like him wouldn’t come to our house tonight. Only when you didn’t go to the Iron Fist School tomorrow would he feel weird and send someone to look for you.

“But Qin Yong’s side is more troublesome.

“You said that he and his companions surrounded you just now. Although his companions did not come to cause trouble, they must know where he went.

“Qin Yong is here to cause you trouble. It’s not a big deal that he didn’t show up for the entire afternoon. But if he doesn’t go back after dinner, his companions will certainly grow suspicious and come to investigate. By then, they will most likely smell the scent of blood and discover the crime scene and Qin Yong’s body.

“Which means, to be safe, I only have half a day left.

“Half a day?”

Gus exclaimed, “Sister, half a day?”

“Time to run away.

Grey’s eyes were focused and as hard as iron. She patted Gus’s shoulder and said, “Gus, listen to me. With the current atmosphere of Red Gold Town, I will be killed if I stay here. Even if my uncle is unjust, the angry residents will still tear me apart.

“I’m not scared of death. Since the day I abandoned the path of iron fists, I’ve been prepared to die without a grave.

“But I was not willing to fall into h.e.l.l before I killed my father’s enemy. Therefore, I could only run away and investigate in secret.

“The only problem is you, Gus. What are you going to do?

“Don’t panic and don’t cry. Calm down. Sister will give you two options.

“Firstly, you can stay out of it. I will pretend that I have knocked you out and give you a b.u.mp on your head. Then, I will tie you up with a rope, but the back of the rope will be pre-grounded with stones.

“If that’s the case, when I leave at dusk, you will probably be able to get rid of the rope and report to your uncle. You will say that you accidentally saw through my scheme and that you saw me kill Qin Yong. You were almost killed by me, too. In the end, considering our sibling relations.h.i.+p, I simply knocked you out and tied you up.

“My mother is my uncle’s only blood sister. You are my mother’s only son. I a.s.sume that such an excuse should be enough to convince my uncle to save you. You had nothing to do with the whole thing anyway.

“Sister, no, no, don’t leave me alone!” Gus shouted before Grey could finish.

“I don’t want to leave you alone, either, especially… Uncle.”

Grey pondered for a long time before she replied, “How should I put it? Although my uncle was not bad to us, I still suspect that he had something to do with my father’s death. It was not as simple as finding his body.”

Gus’s eyes bulged, and he stammered, “Sister, you mean—you mean—”

“I don’t know.”

Grey smiled bitterly. “However, my uncle is a priest of the Temple of Fist, and my father is a degenerate. What kind of relations.h.i.+p do you think they should have?”

“Therefore, you were probably left with your father’s murderer by your uncle’s side. I wouldn’t have done it unless it was absolutely necessary.

“Neither am I.”

Gus shook his head hard. “I don’t want to leave my sister, either.”

“Then you can only run with me.”

Grey said, “Let’s run away together and figure out the truth. Let’s slay our father’s enemy together!”

Gus was confused.

Although he knew that it was his only choice, the young man, who had never left Red Gold Town, still felt powerless like a fish that had just come ash.o.r.e.

“Gus, think about it carefully. I will support you no matter what.”

After saying that, Grey turned around and went into the training room.

While the siblings were talking, Lu Qingchen, on the other hand, was standing aside in silence. He raised his head and stared at the bright grey crack in the sky, deep in thought.

In a moment, Grey brought out two large wooden boxes and two backpacks made of rhino hide. They were st.u.r.dy, durable, and had an enormous capacity.

Huala!

All kinds of mechanical weapons and tools to create steam and compress the air were poured out of the wooden box.

Grey sorted the food into categories and stuffed them into her backpack. She also stuffed the meat and cheese into her backpack.

“Sister, where did these things come from?” Gus was confused. He pointed at the evil serial crossbows and the fallen compressed air cannons.

“Dad left it here.”

Grey explained briefly, “In the secret chamber, there was a diary of my father. According to the diary, my father met an evil disciple in the mountains. The man was apparently mediocre in martial arts, but he was on par with my father with the help of machines and steam. Later, the two of them were forced to stay in a cave for several days because of a flash flood. During the time, my father made friends with the man and grew suspicious of the Fist G.o.d’s strength. Eventually, he changed his belief.

“Later, my father let go of the evil disciple and kept in touch with him. Through him, he got a lot of prohibited equipment and weapons from the south and established his own altar. That’s all.

“Then—”

Gus felt that his mouth was dry. His father was becoming more and more blurred and twisted. “Even if we run away, where can we run to?”

“Let’s get into the mountains first,” Grey said briefly.

“There are so many expert hunters in the town, and we are definitely no match for the Temple of Fists.

Gus was worried. “Even if we make it to the mountains, how many days can we hide?”

“The question depends on it.”

Grey looked at Lu Qingchen. “Devil, you are not going to let the two of us be captured by the Temple of Fist and expose your existence, are you?”
