Chapter 600 - 414: Kill Sima Jingshu (Part 3)
Jingshu took the kitchen knife from the strong man and quickly made a big pot of noodles.
As the days passed by, one day the strong man couldn’t help but ask a question, "Do you want to live in the big city?"
[No, the way people look at me over there is strange. It was like that in the orphanage and in school. I like the mountains; I don’t like crowded places.]
[But, big guy, you’re not too bad, not too annoying.]
The strong man stayed by Jingshu’s side for a month, and before leaving, he solemnly said, "Jingshu, I will protect you. Wait for me, wait for me to come back to get you."
Seeing this, Su Mu felt touched. He knew that the strong man in Sima Jingshu’s memory was probably the future Overlord Blade Martial Saint.
It’s just that at this moment, even though Jingshu had a sharp tongue, she was not a bad person. What actually happened later?
The memory continues to unfold.
After the strong man left, Jingshu was sad for a long time. Several years passed in a flash, but Jingshu never saw the strong man again. Instead, a father and son with the surname Sima broke into her world first.
Jingshu received a piece of shocking news: this big mountain belonged to the Sima Family’s land, and now the Sima Family wanted to develop it. The mountain would be leveled, including the earthen house left by her grandmother and the mound where her grandmother rests.
On that day, Jingshu watched helplessly as the earthen house was pushed down. She frantically ran into the mountains to guard a small mound, but the construction team still arrived.
"Big guy, big guy, where are you? Help me..."
Jingshu kept calling out in her heart, but the big guy never showed up.
[Wait, what is your name?]
Noticing the girl’s anomaly, Sima Lin’s eyes flashed with a strange light.
[Jingshu.]
[Good girl, let’s make a deal. I can preserve this piece of the mountain, but in exchange, you need to come with me. From now on, you will be called Sima Jingshu.]
Jingshu once again felt that hateful gaze, but this time, she nodded in tears, and in her heart, a seed of hatred was planted from complete disappointment in someone.
[Okay.]
Seeing this, Su Mu could already guess Sima Jingshu’s subsequent encounters and witnessed the beginning of Sima Jingshu’s twisted nature. Sima Lin did not treat Sima Jingshu as a daughter but as a pawn to secure his interests.
Only the young Sima Xie treated Sima Jingshu as a sister.
As for the big guy who was late by several years, he too, as Su Mu had predicted, achieved the status of the Martial Saint of the era, becoming the current Overlord Blade Martial Saint.
The Overlord Blade Martial Saint built an oasis far from the hustle and bustle in the depths of the Great Desert for Sima Jingshu. Out of a sense of guilt, the Overlord Blade Martial Saint did everything he could to make amends, indulging Jingshu’s every request.
He turned a blind eye to the crimes committed by the Sima family, but the seeds of resentment had already sprouted robustly during those years of delay.
And so, today’s Sima Jingshu was born during this process.
"Indeed... those who are hateful must have pitiable points, but if given a chance again, I will still kill you!"
Su Mu exhaled softly, and with a shift of thought, Desolate Thought extinguished the final wisp of Sima Jingshu’s soul.
After doing all this, Su Mu and Dao Yi quietly left.
A few minutes later, everyone in the oasis shivered, regaining their wits.
"Oh no, it’s time for the lady’s meal. Quick, quick!"
One of the servants swiftly carried the dishes to the room, and a steward who had taken care of Sima Jingshu for over twenty years received the dishes and entered the room.
"Madam, it’s time for your meal."
Uttering softly, there was no response.
The steward waited in the room for a long time, and just as they were about to leave, they suddenly realized something was off. They seemed to not hear the lady’s breathing!
Immediately, the steward took a deep breath, tiptoeing to the bedside.
In the next second, a voice filled with fear and trembling echoed through the room.
"The lady, the lady is dead!"
...
Tens of thousands of kilometers away, at the Imperial Capital Ye Family.
The main event of the grand banquet began, and the Martial Arts exchange meeting commenced.
Ye Jian could no longer suppress the killing intent in his heart, and just as he intended to rise, someone acted faster.
Su Mu calmly walked to the center of the Martial Arts Arena and spoke softly.
"I am Su Mu of the Huaxia Southern War Zone."
"Actually, I’m a very vengeful person. Before the banquet, I could feel many ’enthusiastic’ gazes present."
"I am in a hurry now, so let’s make everything direct..."
"Come at me all at once!"
