The Truth Behind Xu Jie's Father's Death!

Xu Jie had only undergone the blood-moving process twice, so he was definitely no match for Xu Ming.

But he could get stronger by constantly killing, plundering lifespan, and improving his martial arts realm!

By the time he killed his way into the top ten, Xu Ming would be nothing more than a lamb waiting to be slaughtered!

Xu Jie actually guessed that the school's punishment was most likely orchestrated by the Xu siblings.

However, he didn't care at all; instead, he wanted to genuinely thank Xu Ming!

Xu Ming thought that by using the ranking battles, he could seize the opportunity to kill Xu Jie. In reality, it had given him an excellent chance to grow rapidly.

"You are all seeking your own demise!"

Just as Xu Jie stood at the entrance of the lounge, restless and unable to suppress his murderous urges, footsteps sounded from behind him.

"Xu Jie!"

Xu Jie turned his head slightly, glancing at Xu Ming standing at the doorway. He then turned back with a blank expression, as if he hadn't seen the other person.

Xu Ming frowned slightly at Xu Jie's dismissive attitude. He then let out a cold laugh and slowly spoke in a low, chilling tone.

"Xu Jie, do you know how your father died?"

"..."

"The outside world says your useless father was killed by Demonic Beasts, but in reality, he was killed by my father with his own hands!"

"..."

"Heh, a useless old man who took something he shouldn't have. He deserved to be tortured to death. You probably don't know this, right? Before he died, your father was begging my father to spare your life, to leave some bloodline behind. Tsk, tsk, what a pity. His son is also useless and is about to die today. How pathetic!"

"..."

"If you ask me, your father died because of you! Didn't he steal that thing for you, his useless son? Don't worry, your father's remains are gone. His body was fed to some Demonic Beast and has already turned into feces!"

"..."

For some reason, even though Xu Jie didn't know the original host's father and didn't have much affection for him, he couldn't help but feel extreme anger when he heard Xu Ming say this.

Fragments of the original host's memories suddenly surfaced, playing out scenes with Xu Jie's father like a slideshow in his mind.

"Jie'er, don't cry... Your mother has gone to a faraway place. From now on, it's just you and me, father and son, relying on each other..."

"It's okay, Jie'er, the injuries on Dad's body are nothing! Alas, this trip outside the city yielded nothing. Take these herbs... Huh? Dad doesn't need them. You're still young and need to build your martial arts foundation..."

"Jie'er, remember! This world is cruel! If you don't cultivate diligently, you'll be bullied. Don't blame Dad for being heartless... Jie'er, Dad promises you, even if it costs everything, he will make sure you survive in this world..."

"Jie'er, Dad has taken on a big job this time, and it might take two or three months. Take these credit points! Remember to eat at home, don't get into arguments with anyone at school, wait until Dad gets back..."

The last memory was of Xu Jie's father resolutely leaving the city.

By the time the original host learned of his father's death, he hadn't even seen him one last time.

All he received was the relic entrusted by his father's friend: a battle saber that had been used for over ten years without being replaced, scarred and rusty.

Heh!

It really is... a bit unbearable!

So, after death, obsession truly exists!

Even after death, the original host's attachment and deep longing for his father remained so strong that it couldn't dissipate.

At this moment, after hearing the truth about his father's death, this fervent longing erupted, impacting Xu Jie's soul.

Xu Jie couldn't help but recall a saying from his previous life.

"While parents are alive, life has a place to return to; once parents are gone, life is only a journey back."

In his previous life, Xu Jie was an orphan, raised by many families, and was even trafficked to Southeast Asia. He had never experienced paternal love.

However, at this moment, as the original host's memories surged forth, Xu Jie clearly felt the heavy, mountain-like paternal love and care from Xu Jie's father.

It was also at this moment that Xu Jie truly accepted the original host's identity and took on the consequences and the feud.

Before, he simply wanted to kill the Xu siblings because they had provoked him.

Now, it was different!

Xu Jie not only wanted to kill the Xu family but also the Jiang family to avenge his father!

The Xu family... the Jiang family...

Xu Jie silently raised his head slightly, as if looking at the clouds in the sky.

However, he only saw the closed iron door before him and couldn't see anything else.

"Hahaha, brother! I knew this kid would cry!"

Another crisp female voice rang out. Xu Shishi, with a gloating tone, once again taunted him directly.

"Useless! You are useless, and your dead father is also useless! I'll warn you one last time, hand over that... Ugh..."

Xu Jie suddenly turned around, his eyes shooting out cold light, staring intently at the Xu siblings at the doorway.

He was like a vengeful spirit returned from hell, his eyes filled with a soul-stirring, cruel killing intent.

Xu Shishi was clearly startled by Xu Jie's sudden turn. Her words trailed off, revealing a subtle flicker of fear.

Then, Xu Shishi reacted, immediately becoming enraged. Her cheeks flushed red as she cursed.

"Useless! What are you looking at?! I'll have someone dig your eyes out later!"

"Xu Ming, Xu Shishi, what are you two doing here!"

The next moment, a clear, cold shout rang out, accompanied by the tap-tap-tap of high heels. Chu Mingyue walked over, her expression grim.

Xu Jie slowly turned his head, sinking back into silent stillness.

Meanwhile, Xu Ming, standing at the doorway, saw the most beautiful goddess among the school instructors arrive. A sly smile spread across his face as he feigned respect, giving a disingenuous excuse.

"Nothing! Instructor Chu, isn't my brother about to enter a ranking battle? I specifically came to cheer him on... Instructor, are you free this afternoon? I'd like to treat you to a meal!"

"Not interested!"

Chu Mingyue replied with extreme indifference, walking to the doorway and looking at Xu Jie's back, which was turned to the three of them. She frowned slightly.

In front of the Xu siblings, Chu Mingyue casually said to Xu Jie, as if it were a small matter.

"Xu Jie, I just finished talking with the school administration. They've reduced your participation count to five times! You only need to fight five ranking battles to clear this punishment... Are you even listening to me?!"

Xu Jie sighed inwardly and nodded slightly, offering a rare "Thank you!"

Hearing this, Chu Mingyue's lips curved upwards slightly, seemingly very pleased with Xu Jie's response and attitude.

She glanced at the Xu siblings beside her, whose expressions had subtly changed. She snorted, turned, and left, humming a little tune.

Xu Jie, you little brat, be sure to thank this old lady properly!

Only after Chu Mingyue had completely left did Xu Shishi reveal her resentful expression and anxiously look at her brother.

"Brother..."

"It's fine, don't panic!"

After gently reassuring his sister, Xu Ming suddenly let out a cold laugh.

"Xu Jie, you don't actually think you can survive today just because of some Chu family woman, do you? I'm telling you, you're definitely going to die today! Let's go!"

Xu Ming pulled Xu Shishi away. Their secret scheme against Xu Jie was currently unknown to anyone in the school, and even Chu Mingyue hadn't found any clues.

Xu Ming's methods for dealing with Xu Jie were brilliant. As long as he participated in one ranking battle and gained a spot on the rankings, he would fall into Xu Ming's trap and be as good as dead!

What Xu Ming didn't know was that Xu Jie hadn't listened to Chu Mingyue's advice at all, but he still had to say thank you.

This visit from the Xu siblings only strengthened Xu Jie's resolve to kill the brother and sister.

And then there was Xu Ming's father, that relative he didn't know who had murdered his own father.
