Chapter 265 An Unconventional Funeral

Chu Yunsi stared at that face, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes.

It looks so familiar, but I can't quite place where I've seen it before.

Before she could get a good look, Xia Yuan swiftly pierced the man's clothes with a spear, forcing him to retreat.

Why get so angry?

The man parried Xia Yuan's relentless attacks with his bare hands. Despite being utterly disheveled, his voice remained relaxed. "What are you afraid of? Are you afraid of letting this little thing know that her wise and mighty father is actually an old beast who would kill his own son?"

A sudden inspiration struck Chu Yunsi.

She opened her eyes wide and looked at the man who looked incredibly familiar not far away, only to meet his malicious gaze.

She thought she knew why that face felt so familiar.

Her face bore a striking resemblance to her father's.

So, she also has... a biological brother?

Chu Yunsi stood there blankly, the hatred and anger in her heart seemed to be completely covered by something. Although it was still pounding violently in her heart, it could not be ignited.

He Yu stood on the roadside thirty meters away from the crowd, and slowly opened her eyes wide as well.

Goodness, thank goodness I didn't choose to teleport directly to Chu Zheng, otherwise I would have really missed such a great show!

Murder and theft of a corpse, the methods were ruthless. What was thought to be a revenge in the martial arts world turned out to be a moral entanglement!

This is truly... every family has its own troubles...

He Yu clicked her tongue, and seeing that Bai Yushen and He Shi next to her also looked incredulous and their brains seemed to have shut down, she shook her head.

Only Xia Yuan and Chu Zheng know about their relationship. Oh, maybe Chu He found out after that fight.

No wonder he seemed so secretive.

He Yu snapped out of her thoughts. The two people who had been fighting had stopped. The man walked up to Chu Yunsi and seemed to be whispering something, while Bai Yushen and Xia Yuan stood guard in front of Chu Yunsi.

He Shi seemed unaffected by the chaotic scene before him, standing by the coffin and coldly observing the surrounding crowd.

He held a small crossbow in his left hand and a heavy sword against the ground in his right. Everyone around him instinctively stepped back, clearing a space of more than two meters in diameter.

He Yu also saw Master Fu and his wife, several young people from the Ouyang family, several women with outstanding temperament wearing fox fur coats, and many martial arts figures dressed in various styles.

These people stood guard around He Shi and Xia Yuan, keeping a watchful eye on their every move.

It doesn't seem to be in any danger.

He Yu assessed the situation, leaving A Leng to fly high in the air to provide early warning, while he opened the [Homestead] gate and went inside.

Judging by the time, Chu Zheng should be finishing up soon, so I need to hurry and pick him up. I can't let watching the excitement waste time.

On the wasteland, He Yu pushed open the door and stepped out.

Looking around, he saw Chu Zheng walking down the hillside and waved to him.

Chu Zheng also saw her, and using his movement technique, he arrived beside He Yu in just a few breaths: "Miss He, you've come at just the right time."

He appeared to have suffered minor injuries; his hair was slightly disheveled, his clothes were torn at the shoulder, and the hem and cuffs were stained with the thick, tar-like black blood characteristic of black giants.

He Yu paused for a moment, then dismissed the idea of ​​telling him what had happened at the funeral.

Forget it, let's talk about it after we're done with this busy period. If I hear something that's too stressful and it affects my performance later, that would be troublesome.

After all, the Black Giant is not like its inventor, Lou Jinyue, who could be easily chased and beaten by Chu Zheng.

Even Chu Zheng could easily lose his life if he faced it.

He Yu opened the door: "Let's go, Master Chu, there are still three points left. Can you hold on?"

Chu Zheng laughed heartily, "Let's go, let's go. I just stretched my muscles and didn't use up much energy. Taking on three more is no problem."

You're just bragging.

He Yu smiled politely, took Chu Zheng's sleeve, and stepped through the door.

The unremarkable wooden door closed, and a gust of wind swept across the snowfield, instantly erasing the two footprints, one large and one small.

This farcical funeral came to an end at 9:45 AM.

Looking at the newly erected tombstone in front of her, Xia Yuan carefully put away the blood-stained spear and looked at Chu Yunsi, whose face was pale: "Junior Sister, let's burn some more paper money. Let's send Master off on his final journey."

Chu Yunsi nodded, took a few steps forward, knelt in front of the grave, and took out paper money from a basket to burn.

Xia Yuan slowly inhaled the cool air, and knelt down behind her with Bai Yushen and He Shi.

The three of them kowtowed three times.

After getting up, the people following the funeral procession came forward in twos and threes, some kowtowing, some bowing, and some burning money, all with sorrowful expressions to send Chu Zheng off on his "final journey".

When He Yu and Chu Zheng returned after dealing with the last stronghold of the Jingmen, this was the scene they saw.

Chu Zheng listened to the mournful cries of "Master Chu" and "Hero Chu" from the crowd, and his expression was extremely strange.

He Yu also felt that this scene was quite memorable, so he took out the Polaroid camera he had bought at the General Store and took a picture from a good angle.

After the photos were taken, she nodded in satisfaction and quietly put them away.

The man who claimed to be Chu Zheng's son was no longer in the crowd, but there seemed to be more injured people, and even Bai Yushen had a bloodstain on his back.

Bloodstains soaked through his snow-white mourning clothes, landing menacingly on his broad back; it looked quite serious.

It seems that after I left, they had another fight, and it was quite a fierce one.

Chu Zheng had obviously noticed this scene as well.

The awkward expression on his face slowly disappeared, his brows furrowed, and he instantly became dignified and aloof.

The final farewell ceremony lasted for about half an hour. Xia Yuan helped Chu Yunsi, who was sobbing, to her feet and said loudly to the crowd around her, "Thank you all for coming to send my master off on his final journey. The Chu family has booked the Risheng Restaurant in the border city today. Please go and rest and have a meal. If you are injured, please go to the clinic for treatment. The Chu family will provide all the medicine and tonics. Please stay for a few more days until you are healed before you leave."

Everyone naturally applauded, and the group, just as it had arrived, marched back in a grand and imposing manner.

The funeral had just taken place, and regardless of whether these people were genuinely sad or feigning grief, they all simply ate a quiet meal. No one drank or laughed, so the banquet ended quickly.

After seeing off the departing person, it was already late afternoon (3-5 PM). In another hour, the sun would set.

Xia Yuan took a sip of tea, moistening her throat which was parched from talking, and turned to look at He Shi, who was sitting quietly beside her, a smile flashing in her eyes.

"Junior brother, you've worked hard today. I'll take care of the rest. You should go back to your courtyard and rest."

He Shi shook his head while holding his sword: "Senior Sister, I'm not tired. You should go back first. Third Senior Brother is also injured. Fourth Senior Sister can't take care of both of them by herself. You'll have to go back and help out."

Xia Yuan paused, holding the cup, and the image of Bai Yushen blocking the mid-air slash flashed through her mind. Her eyelashes trembled slightly.

After a while, she smiled and said, "Alright, then I'll leave this to you. Go back and rest early after you're done."

He Shi smiled and said, "Don't worry, Senior Sister, I know."
