This Is My Home

The courtyard was deathly silent, and everyone was terrified out of their wits.

Sikong Jing's eyes flashed with cold light as he looked at the dozens of servants trembling in fear around him. He said coldly, "My family does not owe you wages, yet you dared to loot our home. Therefore, you... shall receive no funeral expenses."

"Kill..."

His figure swept out, and screams erupted one after another.

By the time Sikong Jing landed, not a single servant in the courtyard remained alive.

As for the servants outside who had not had the heart to join the looting, they fled in a panic, scrambling away as if their lives depended on it.

In their eyes, Sikong Jing had transformed into a murderous maniac.

Sikong Jing naturally ignored them; he only killed the primary offenders, so why would he slaughter the innocent?

His gaze returned to Su Yun.

Su Yun retreated continuously, her finger trembling as she pointed at him. "Criminal, you—you actually dared to kill so many servants!"

Slap!

His figure flashed again, and Sikong Jing struck Su Yun to the ground. He looked down at her and said, "I dare to kill you as well, but it is not yet the time. It will not be too late to kill you after your big brother Su Shan returns to meet his end."

As he finished speaking, with a bang...

Sikong Jing delivered a kick, sending Su Yun flying out of the courtyard.

Su Yun rolled on the ground in agony for a long while before scrambling up and screaming, "Criminal, you are dead!"

"Su Yuexi, you ugly freak, you just wait..."

"Don't think this criminal is helping you. He was caught and brought back by the City Guard, or perhaps he just saw the situation was bad and fled back here. I am going to report this to the authorities right now."

"I will also tell Grandfather and the others. Just wait for your deaths!"

Spouting incoherent threats, Su Yun ran off in a state of shock and fear.

Inside the courtyard, aside from the corpses, only Sikong Jing and the mother-daughter pair of Su Yuexi remained. Only then did they snap out of their shock.

Mei Xiaofang regained her senses, her lips trembling as she said, "Sikong Jing, how—how could you kill so many servants?"

She was terrified. It wasn't just Aunt Li and the others who had been killed; he had slaughtered dozens of others as well.

This had truly blown up. Su Xuefeng would no longer be able to sit idly by and would soon bring men to kill them.

Mei Xiaofang truly could not have imagined that Sikong Jing would be this reckless.

"Mother-in-law, you have endured for too long—so long that even a random servant can bully you."

Sikong Jing understood exactly what Mei Xiaofang was worried about. His voice was deep, and his gaze was sharp.

It wasn't just the servants; even those who were once friends outside could humiliate them.

His father-in-law, Su Zhenglong, was the eldest son of the Su Clan!

These words made Mei Xiaofang tremble all over. Thinking of everything that had happened recently, her heart was filled with extreme bitterness, but she still shook her head. "Even so, we must endure."

Her husband, Su Zhenglong, was bedridden with a serious illness. If they did not endure, they would die, and they would have nothing to eat.

"I understand, but now that I am here, there is no need to endure any longer." Sikong Jing's voice was resolute.

Mei Xiaofang twitched her lips, wanting to say that his presence was useless, as he was merely a small martial artist at the fourth level of the Bright Realm.

She did not yet know that after three days, Sikong Jing was already at the seventh level of the Bright Realm.

However, at least Sikong Jing had not fled, so she swallowed her harsh words and said, "Then tell me what we should do now. You killed so many servants; Su Xuefeng and the Law Enforcement Hall of Su Zhengtao will be here soon."

A flash of light crossed Sikong Jing's eyes, and just as he was about to explain...

Suddenly, a hoarse voice rang out from the hall: "When soldiers come, block them; when water comes, cover it with earth!"

The three of them looked over quickly and saw Su Zhenglong appearing, leaning against the door frame.

"Master..."

"Father..."

Mei Xiaofang and Su Yuexi called out simultaneously and rushed toward him as if flying.

They had been truly terrified yesterday, thinking they were about to be separated from Su Zhenglong forever.

"I am fine." Su Zhenglong looked at the mother and daughter with a smile and said in a low voice, "Jing is right. We cannot endure any longer, or even a dog will be able to ride on our heads and defecate."

"These wicked servants deserved to die!"

Raising his head, Su Zhenglong looked directly at the approaching Sikong Jing and added, "Jing, this time, it is all thanks to you."

Sikong Jing shook his head and replied, "Father-in-law, this is what I should have done."

Then, Su Zhenglong's expression turned serious. "You don't need to worry about what comes next, and you don't need to take action again. I will let Su Zhengtao and the others know that the Su Zhenglong who has not yet died is still the prodigy of Yunye City that he once was!"

"Cough, cough, cough..."

As he said this, Su Zhenglong began to cough incessantly.

"Master, please, say a little less." Mei Xiaofang hurriedly patted his back, her face full of distress.

In such a state, it was truly hard to believe what else he could possibly do.

Eventually, Su Zhenglong, once a prodigy, coughed uncontrollably and was helped back to his room to rest.

Sikong Jing did not follow him in but instead threw all the corpses in the courtyard outside.

When he was done, he saw Su Yuexi walking out of Su Zhenglong's room alone, standing as if solitary at the entrance of the hall.

Her expression was stiff as she stared at him.

"Yuexi, what's wrong? You haven't said a word since I got back," Sikong Jing walked over, puzzled, and asked.

Beneath her veil, Su Yuexi bit her lip tightly, still not speaking.

Sikong Jing didn't know what his wife was thinking at that moment. He suddenly took out a hairpin from his embrace and smiled, "Yuexi, look what I brought back for you."

Her gaze fell on the Jadeite Hairpin in Sikong Jing's hand. Su Yuexi couldn't help but cover her mouth, tears streaming down her face.

"Don't cry, I said I would bring back the Jadeite Hairpin," Sikong Jing smiled and wiped away Su Yuexi's tears.

However, the next moment... Wah!

Su Yuexi suddenly burst into tears and threw herself fiercely into Sikong Jing's arms.

"I thought you would never come back after leaving the city."

"I thought I would never see you again."

"I thought, with me being so ugly, you would finally be scared away. I was so scared!"

As Su Yuexi sobbed, Sikong Jing was stunned. He realized that Su Yuexi had actually been afraid he wouldn't return.

She had taken Su Yun's words to heart, but Sikong Jing could understand.

Su Yuexi was too insecure; her ugly face made her constantly doubt herself.

To this, Sikong Jing, who was also not good at expressing himself, simply held Su Yuexi tightly and said, "This is... my home!"

"Sigh..."

A sigh came softly from Su Zhenglong's room. It was Mei Xiaofang.

Through the window, she clearly saw the situation between her daughter and her criminal son-in-law outside.

She then looked at Su Zhenglong, who was half-lying on the bed, and said, "Old man, I still suspect this criminal originally intended to escape, but as Su Yun said, he was either captured and brought back, or he ran back when he saw the situation was unfavorable."

Su Zhenglong's eyes flickered at her words, but he did not reply.

He really couldn't figure out what his ugly daughter had that was worth Sikong Jing's devotion, even though he was just a criminal.

What man didn't wish for his woman to be beautiful?
