Chapter 222 – Liu Wushuang's Compensation!

“…Master, I’m so sad.”

Xiaobai hugged her Phone, climbed down from the sofa to the coffee table, pulled out a tissue to pat her face, then lay back on the sofa.

Thinking about what just happened, the tissue became wet again.

All my little savings are gone…

Those were all the private funds I worked so hard to save up.

I originally planned to manipulate things behind the scenes, turn the tables against the odds, and achieve financial freedom directly.

But who would have thought…

We clearly agreed on a self-destruction, yet you didn’t play by the rules!

“Why be sad about this? It’s just a clone,”

Qin Yang spread his arms and leaned back comfortably on the sofa. Not catching Xiaobai’s implied meaning, he directly comforted her:

“So, how was Master’s self-destruction just now? I definitely kept my promise to you.”

“No… that’s not it…”

Xiaobai pouted, her fluffy fox ears drooping down. “That’s not what I meant…”

The script wasn’t supposed to be like this!

If only you had self-destructed a bit earlier,

This Fairy could have been financially free!

“Alright, stop crying. Since you’ve been so well-behaved…”

Qin Yang took out ten yuan and placed it on Xiaobai’s stomach, rubbing her head as he said: “Here’s a little reward for you.”

“Ten yuan!?”

Xiaobai was stunned for a moment, then quickly took the money. Her dim little eyes lit up again. “Thank you, Master!”

The little abacus in her mind started calculating again.

Ten yuan is still money.

As long as I slowly replenish it, someday my private funds will be full again, right?

While she was lost in thought,

A ripple of energy suddenly came from outside the window.

“Hmm?”

Qin Yang frowned, sensing that aura. “Why is that Liu guy here?”

It hadn’t been long since his last visit. Who knows what he’s planning this time.

“Whatever, I’ll just deal with it as it comes.”

Thinking this, Qin Yang glanced sideways at Xiaobai: “Has your acting improved recently?”

“Of course it has! After last time, this Fairy has been reading every day. I’ve gone through it twice thoroughly, remembering all the key points! Wait…”

Xiaobai took out “An Actor Prepares,” wet her finger with saliva, and opened to where she last read – right in the middle of the book.

“It’s two and a half times! Just wait and see how I perform later, hehe…”

…

…

Outside the Villa, dawn was gradually breaking.

Liu Wushuang swept over the Fuhai Villa District, quickly heading toward Qin Yang’s location. Anxiety welled up in his heart, unsure how to face what was to come.

After all, he was responsible for the death of Qin kid’s Martial Uncle…

He must hate me terribly now, right?

How should I explain when the time comes?

After hesitating for a long time, Liu Wushuang finally arrived above Qin Yang’s Villa and transmitted his message:

“Qin kid, could you come out for a talk?”

No response.

The Villa seemed as if no one was home. The morning birds chirped, flowers bloomed in the Courtyard, yet it only emphasized the eerie silence.

Faintly,

An unusual Star Power fluctuation came from inside the house.

Weak, unstable, like a candle in the wind, likely to extinguish at any moment.

“Is the kid’s mood really this bad?”

Liu Wushuang detected this energy fluctuation and instantly grew more worried. It seemed the Jianghai Arrow God’s death had already severely affected Qin Yang!

If this continues,

It’s not impossible that he might succumb to Qi deviation in the future!The Jianghai Arrow God had already passed away, and if his martial nephew were to leave as well… he’d probably wake up in the middle of the night and slap himself across the face…

At this thought, Liu Wushuang’s heart clenched!

He immediately descended into the courtyard and called out loudly toward the house once more:

“Qin Yang, come out!”

“I know you’re in there, stop hiding! Everything can be discussed, don’t do anything rash!”

As his voice faded.

The courtyard suddenly fell silent.

There was still no response from inside. Seeing this, Liu Wushuang grew even more frantic with worry. He took a step forward, ready to charge into the villa.

Everything else could wait, but he couldn’t let this young man do something foolish!!

But just as the thought crossed his mind.

Click!

The courtyard door suddenly opened…

Liu Wushuang halted at the sound, his heart pounding wildly. When he looked toward the courtyard door, he felt like his heart skipped a beat.

He’s out!

Qin Yang appeared, dressed in plain white mourning clothes, slowly sliding open the glass door. His hair was disheveled, his eyes bloodshot, and he looked utterly exhausted.

“Senior, why have you come to my place again… now?”

“I…”

Liu Wushuang swallowed, momentarily at a loss for words of comfort. He could only tentatively ask in a soft voice: “Are you alright, Qin Yang? Are you feeling any better?”

“Hah, my feelings?”

Upon hearing this, Qin Yang shook his head bitterly, his voice hoarse like a crow’s. “Does that really matter, Senior? My feelings are nothing compared to Martial Uncle’s.”

As he spoke, Qin Yang lifted his tired eyes. “Now that he has fallen… you’ve won too. You must be satisfied, right?”

“I…”

Hearing this, Liu Wushuang couldn’t bring himself to look Qin Yang in the eye anymore. He could only bow his head. “This matter is rather complicated… If you blame me for being stubborn, I’ll accept that.”

“No.”

Qin Yang said gloomily. “The one to blame should be me.”

“If I hadn’t relayed the message to Martial Uncle back then, this wouldn’t have happened. It’s all because I didn’t hold firm…”

As his words fell.

Liu Wushuang felt even more guilty upon hearing this.

He had been in the wrong from the start by pressuring his junior. Now, listening to Qin Yang’s remorse felt like each word was striking directly at his heart.

How could he not feel deeply ashamed toward the Arrow God…

“This matter isn’t unrelated to you…”

Liu Wushuang said quietly, his resolve somewhat shaken. “The affairs involved here are far too complex…”

Right at that moment.

Suddenly!

A sharp killing intent descended, accompanied by the frenzied aura of a Star Beast shooting skyward, directly locking onto Liu Wushuang!

“You big villain! How dare you come back!”

Xiaobai rushed out from behind Qin Yang, tears streaming down her face like raindrops on pear blossoms, brandishing a broom with fierce determination, her murderous intent raging violently.

“So fierce?”

Qin Yang was taken aback, instinctively grabbing Xiaobai’s hand. “Don’t be impulsive, Xiaobai…”

“Let go of me, Master!”

Seeing this, Xiaobai reversed her grip on Qin Yang’s hand, pulling it around her own waist to secure it. Once fixed, she strained forward with all her might, making it look as though Qin Yang was holding her back.

“I’m going to kill this villain!”

“Second Master died because of him!… Don’t stop me, Master! This servant must take revenge!!”

As she spoke.

She tightened her grip even more, terrified that Qin Yang might actually let go and release her…

“…”

Witnessing this, Qin Yang’s lips twitched, but he couldn’t expose her act openly.Xiaobai’s current grip was stronger than her own body weight, let alone breaking free—she was practically dragging him along now!

“Tsk, three days apart and Little Fox’s acting skills have really leveled up.”

Holding Xiaobai, Qin Yang slightly raised his eyes to secretly observe Liu Wushuang’s reaction.

Bitter. Ugly.

Across from them, Liu Wushuang’s face had turned ashen!!

He remained silent, seemingly ruminating on Xiaobai’s earlier words, sinking into an inescapable swamp of shame.

How tragic…

When it came down to it.

No matter how he tried to shift blame, the primary responsibility lay with himself.

Every word Xiaobai spoke struck Liu Wushuang’s heart like a heavy hammer! If he hadn’t been so relentlessly persistent, how could he have caused the master and disciple to be separated by life and death?

“I…”

Liu Wushuang’s voice trembled as he spoke, the turmoil in his heart growing stronger.

“Let go of me, let me go… Master, wuwu…Seeing this, Xiaobai cried as if drenched by rain, collapsing into Qin Yang’s embrace, burying her small face deep into his plain clothes while her shoulders shook.

Initiating the Bai Family Performance Rules!

Stage Two!

Crying!

“Wuwuwu…”

Her mournful sobs drifted like mist through mountain valleys, rising and falling in melancholic waves.

“It was this villain who caused Second Master’s death! Now both First Master and Second Master are gone, Master, only you and I remain to depend on each other…

Why… must our fate be so cruel!”

As she spoke, Xiaobai tilted her head back, frantically blinking her right eye to signal—

“Quick, pick up your cues, Master!!”

This continuous performance was at its critical moment.

“It will pass. There’s no hardship in this world that cannot be overcome.”

Qin Yang immediately understood, holding Xiaobai’s head close to his chest as he picked up his lines: “Even without Martial Uncle’s protection, I will keep you safe if those Demonkin come for us…”

“…”

Witnessing this scene, Liu Wushuang’s hands trembled as his final psychological defenses completely crumbled, his pent-up emotions bursting forth like tidal waves.

Indeed!

Without the Arrow God’s protection, how would this master and servant survive?

After incurring the Beast God Sect’s wrath, if their whereabouts were exposed, they would likely face endless pursuit from the entire Evil Cult.

Especially that little fox!

If she fell into the Beast God Sect’s hands, they’d probably skin her and turn her into a fluffy fur coat!!

“You…”

After a moment’s contemplation, Liu Wushuang silently retrieved the Archery Manual from his Star Ring, using Star Power to float it before Qin Yang.

Along with it came a golden token.

“What is the meaning of this?”

Qin Yang kept his voice low, eyeing the floating objects warily. “Why give these to me?”

“This… consider it my compensation to you both.”

Liu Wushuang turned his back, unable to let them see his emotional state as he said tremulously: “And this gold token serves as my personal sigil… Should you encounter trouble in the future, you may use it to seek assistance from the Star Martial Police Department at any time, or even contact me directly.”

“I shall answer every summons!”

As his words faded.

“Hah, you think this settles accounts for my Martial Uncle’s death?!”

Qin Yang waved his hand dismissively. “I want none of it!!”

Slap!

The manual and gold token fell onto the grass.

“…”

Liu Wushuang’s face stiffened at the sight. He opened his mouth as if to speak, but ultimately remained silent.

Guilt weighed heavy in his heart.

Whatever Qin Yang said now, he would accept it.

“Consider the token my personal debt. Whether you accept it is your choice…”Liu Wushuang shook his head and left the courtyard after speaking, quickly flying beyond the residential area.

……..

“Master, has he left?”

Xiaobai coiled around Qin Yang’s waist and whispered, “Can this servant come down now? This position is so tiring for a fox.”

“He’s gone, you can come down.”

Qin Yang lifted Xiaobai and tossed her aside, taking off his shirt with disgust. “You’ve smeared snot and tears all over me. Go wash it immediately.”

“Oh—”

Xiaobai took the clothes, wearing a little expression seeking praise. “How was it? This Fairy’s performance was pretty good, wasn’t it? These past few days of reading haven’t been wasted!”

“Not bad, there’s definite improvement.”

Qin Yang smiled faintly. After confirming Liu Wushuang had gone far away, he quickly picked up the token from the ground, wiped off the dust, and flicked its surface.

A clear metallic ring sounded pleasantly.

“Excellent!”

Qin Yang looked quite satisfied as he put it back in his pocket.

After all, Liu Wushuang gave it to him.

No reason to refuse what’s freely given!

So satisfying!
