Bloody Kyoto

In the inn room, Xiang Lizhen and Xiang Litong sat facing each other. Xiang Litong asked Xiang Lizhen a question.

"Third Brother, is that miracle drug real?"

After a moment's thought, Xiang Lizhen said, "It's highly likely to be true."

"Why do you think that, Third Brother?" Xiang Litong asked, resting her chin on her hand as she looked at him.

"Dad once said that the second thing he did for Zheng Jiaojiao was to subdue a woman."

Xiang Lizhen walked to the window and looked down at the not-so-busy street. "Even though that woman was drugged, she's still terrifyingly strong!"

"So powerful? Which school of martial arts is it?" Xiang Litong asked excitedly.

Xiang Lizhen turned around and shook her head. "It's not martial arts. That woman doesn't have any martial arts skills. What she has is boundless strength. She can crack the ground with a single punch."

Xiang Litong's mouth opened into an "o" shape, that's amazing!

However, she was only surprised for a moment before she quickly realized something and became disdainful again, "Even if she's that capable, she was still caught by my second uncle."

Xiang Lizhen tapped her head, "The reason my father was able to catch her was not because my father was more capable than her, but because the drug on that woman took effect."

So that's how it is! Xiang Litong's eyes lit up again, her face full of admiration.

She quickly remembered the question from the beginning and asked curiously:

"Wait a minute! Third Brother, weren't we discussing the authenticity of the miracle drug? Could this woman have some connection to it?"

Xiang Lizhen sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and after taking a sip, he said, "Because that woman is from another world."

Xiang Litong pouted and looked at Xiang Lizhen, "So, what does the relationship between people from another world and divine medicine have?"

Seeing her younger sister's adorable angry expression, Xiang Lizhen smiled and said, "Of course it's related, because that divine medicine is very likely from another world."

Xiang Litong blinked her watery eyes. "Then why don't we just go to the otherworldly people and ask them for the medicine? Why bother making a deal with those people?"

Xiang Lizhen looked at her with some surprise, "The otherworldly people you're talking about are..."

"It's that otherworldly person who can control vines!" Xiang Litong's eyes seemed to be shining. "I want to meet this otherworldly person. She's so amazing. I also want to learn from her how to control vines."

Xiang Lizhen looked at her younger sister, her heart sinking; her wish was destined not to come true.

Because their Xiang family is probably on that otherworldly person's kill list as well.

"Tongtong, we have only one purpose in coming to the capital this time, which is to obtain a bottle of divine medicine and then return to our clan."

Xiang Lizhen looked worried. "As for everything that happens in the capital, it has nothing to do with our Xiang family."

Xiang Litong was displeased upon hearing this.

"Third Brother, I want to stay in the capital. I want to find that person from another world and be friends with her."

"No!" Xiang Lizhen's expression turned serious, but then her voice softened. "Tongtong, do you know that the Han family patriarch, the Yun family patriarch, and the Zhao family's prodigy have all appeared in the capital?"

Xiang Litong shook her head. She really didn't know that the Han family patriarch, the Yun family patriarch, and the Zhao family's prodigy were also in the capital.

However, she knows now.

I'm so excited! These are people I wouldn't even be qualified to meet before, but now they're all in Beijing. I might run into them someday. I'm so happy.

"Third Brother, then we should stay in the capital even more. Maybe we can get to know the two patriarchs and Zhao Liangchen."

When she said the last three words, her face was full of shyness.

Xiang Lizhen rubbed her forehead. Zhao Liangchen was the only son of Zhao Moyan, the prodigy of the Zhao family. Her own sister had never even met him, so how could this be...?

“Li Tong, listen carefully. Our Xiang family must absolutely not have any contact with that person from another world. On the contrary, we must avoid her.”

"Why?" Xiang Litong looked at him with a wronged and puzzled expression.

"Because our Xiang family is probably on the kill list of the otherworldly beings."

"This..." Xiang Litong panicked. "Why! Why are the otherworldly beings killing..."

Suddenly, she realized something, and her eyes widened slowly. "Is it because my second uncle helped Zheng Jiaojiao catch that strong woman?"

Xiang Lizhen nodded slowly, "Everything the otherworldly being who controls the vines is doing now is to avenge that strong woman."

"If it weren't for my father helping Zheng Jiaojiao catch that woman, given that woman's strength, she would definitely have been able to escape even if she had been drugged."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Litong felt as if all her strength had been drained away, and she hung her head.

"Is this also the reason why my uncle wouldn't let us come to the capital?"

"Yes!"

Actually, the matter of coming to the capital to retrieve the medicine was not their responsibility. It was just that Xiang Litong had heard of the miraculous medicine and secretly left the clan, while he came to chase after her.

Meanwhile, their eldest uncle, who is also the head of the Xiang family, is on his way.

"I understand. I will stay obediently in the inn and not go out."

Xiang Lizhen smiled helplessly, "There's no need to be so easily frightened. As long as we don't reveal our identities, we can still stroll around the capital."

"No! What if the otherworldly beings have special methods to recognize us?"

"No, the people from other worlds just have more skills, and these skills don't involve mystical arts or Taoist techniques, so we don't need to be afraid."

Xiang Litong was conflicted and still felt uneasy. "We can't just wander around; we still need to pick up the medicine."

"There's no rush to get the medicine. We'll wait for Uncle to arrive and then we'll go together with him."

"What!" Xiang Litong stood up in surprise. "It's actually my uncle who came?"

She was most afraid of her uncle. He was very fierce and would definitely scold her harshly if he saw her.

"Third Brother, why don't we leave the capital now and go travel to other places?"

She went around the table, grabbed Xiang Lizhen's arm, and shook it, "Please! Third Brother."

"No!" Xiang Lizhen pretended to be serious and slapped her hand off his arm. "You really shouldn't have done that this time. Even if your uncle wants to punish you, it's what you deserve."

"No! I'm scared of Uncle! Third Brother, you don't love me anymore!" Xiang Litong stamped her feet, panicking terribly.

"Li Tong." Xiang Lizhen was really serious this time. He stared into her eyes and said, "You should be punished for doing wrong. You can't keep being willful, otherwise you'll only hurt yourself."

"in addition……"

"After obtaining the medicine this time, the ancestor decided to recall all clansmen who were outside the clan, and then seal off the passage into the clan, forbidding them from entering the world for thirty years."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Litong was completely dumbfounded. If she hadn't been involved in worldly affairs for thirty years, wouldn't she be an old woman by the time she could?

"Third brother, why did you make this decision?"

Seeing her dejected look, Xiang Lizhen felt heartbroken and gently explained to her.

"You already know that Ancestor Han, Ancestor Yun, and the Zhao family's prodigy have appeared in the capital."

Xiang Litong nodded.

"Then you should know even more what the Han family, the Yun family, and the Zhao family are capable of!"
