Chapter 84
This was a house built halfway up a mountain, far from civilization, and very suitable for imprisoning someone.
However, Qiu Chi had no desire to live a private life for two with Lou Yu here.
After taking the silver, she left directly.
As for Lou Yu? As long as he didn’t die, it was fine.
When he came to his senses, he would realize she wasn’t Shangguan Yue and then come looking for her under the banner of avenging Shangguan Yue.
Qiu Chi didn’t mind Lou Yu coming to find her.
After all, if a dog delivered itself to her door to be beaten, she had no reason to refuse, right?
She certainly couldn’t spend every day chasing after Lou Yu.
After coming down the mountain, Qiu Chi found a stall to eat and then began to think about where to go next.
The Shangguan Family was, after all, a famous villa in the martial world. It was impossible for it to have been annihilated so easily by Lou Yu alone.
Lou Yu must have cooperated with other families or sects, but Shangguan Yue didn’t know the specifics of who he worked with.
After all, on the day the Shangguan Family was massacred, besides Lou Yu, everyone who came was a masked person in black. This made it very convenient for them to frame the Demon Sect for the crime.
As for why Shangguan Yue didn’t think the killers were from the Demon Sect, it was because in this martial world, there were only rumors of the Demon Sect, but no one had ever seen its members.
There was also a saying that anyone who had seen a member of the Demon Sect was already dead. This saying had gained the approval of many people.
But only a few major sects and great families of the martial world knew that the Demon Sect had actually been all but wiped out. The few remaining members were no threat at all, hiding in some unknown mountain gully.
As for why they were so certain, it was because over a decade ago, they had cooperated with the imperial court to jointly annihilate the Demon Sect.
The news spread by the imperial court was that they had wiped out a group of mountain bandits. The martial artists involved, for various reasons, did not spread the news that the Demon Sect had been destroyed.
This made it convenient for them to pin the blame on the Demon Sect.
This was true for the death of Lou Yu’s family, and it was true for the death of Shangguan Yue’s family as well.
The difference was that after Lou Yu managed to escape, he found the Shangguan family’s crest in the ruins of his villa. Therefore, he became convinced that the Shangguan Family was responsible for the massacre of his family, which led to his later revenge.
Qiu Chi thought that perhaps she should create a real Demon Sect.
This Demon Sect was the perfect scapegoat. But with such a reputation, the people of the martial world were extremely wary of it.
If she really created a Demon Sect, it should be quite simple, right?
After eating her fill, Qiu Chi left the small town. She picked a random road and ambled along leisurely on her horse.
Then she encountered a group of robbers.
After all, in the eyes of others, Qiu Chi was just a lavishly dressed little girl with no strength to even truss a chicken.
Sitting high on her horse, Qiu Chi looked down at the dozen or so burly men holding knives and raised an eyebrow. “Robbers?”
She had just been wondering how to find people to join her Demon Sect, and now, hadn’t they just arrived?
“Hand over all your money, and we’ll spare your life!”
“Big Brother, this young lady is so pretty, why don’t we…”
Before he could finish, he was kicked. “Get lost! We only rob for money!”
Qiu Chi watched leisurely as they sorted out their own affairs before finally speaking. “I have no money, but I can offer you a good choice.”
“Choose to die, or choose to join my Demon Sect. It’s one or the other. Think it over carefully.”
The burly robbers were momentarily speechless.
“You say you’re from the Demon Sect?”
Although it was true they feared the Demon Sect, they really didn’t believe that a teenage girl could be a member.
While it was wrong to judge a book by its cover, a little girl was just too easy to underestimate.
“Cut the crap! Hurry up and hand over the money! What Demon Sect? Don’t stall for time hoping someone will come and save you!”
