Beneficial Union: Chasing A Rogue Wife

Chapter 20: A Murder



Chapter 20: A Murder

Wei Jiayi was still wondering why the crow was suddenly acting differently and he wanted to find the reason immediately.

After heightening his senses, instead of finding his pet crow, he sensed a strange large form near him.

Looking towards the direction, he saw a black mass in the sky forming near Mount Hua.

The black mass was moving closer and still got bigger and bigger. It seemed like it was heading in his direction. Strangely, as it got closer, it quickly headed towards his Medical Pavilion!

Putting his guard up, he headed near the black mass. The closer he got the more surprised he was. The black mass was a murder of crows!

Not hundreds but thousands of crows were gathering, and more crows were still joining to make the mass bigger.

The crows were coming from all over the place. It seemed like all the crows from the entire Shizi Empire were now in the sky, forming a flock with a single intention that no one knew.

He was pretty sure that his pet crow Meme was currently part of this murder of crows and heading to his Medical Pavilion as well!

'What's going on!? Who is responsible for this?!' He thought in annoyance.

Though Wei Jiayi was fond of all bird species, he would not attempt to control thousands of these birds in one go without preparation.

Killing was easy, but keeping all the crows under his control, that was surely impossible. He could just burn all the crows.

In the meantime, due to his fondness for the species, he decided to just observe and not attack yet.

The crows were not attacking any mortals anyway. It seemed like they were just passing through with a definite destination.

He chased after the murder of crows and found that they started landing on the courtyard of the Medical Pavilion

...

In the Medical Pavilion Courtyard

Just like Wei Jiayi, everyone was surprised but mostly scared.

The crows started flying around the courtyard. All of them gathered in the location the walnuts lay scattered.

Xi Ma subconsciously looked at Gao Lan Mei. "What was the meaning of this? Was this the reason why she asked the beggar to stay away?'

At first, he was just curious to know her identity, now this curiosity was mixed with fear. This young woman could not be offended!

If Gao Lan Mei was really the one who controlled the murder of crows, who knew what else she could do.

The beggar realized that his decision to follow Gao Lan Mei when she told him to move was right. Though he did not know how or what would happen next, he would not mind waiting to see.

It was best to wait after all. If he had decided to stay and try to look for the poison instead one walnut at a time and failed to see the murder of crows approaching in time, he might have also become their food!

"What is happening?! Stop! Stop them!" Shopkeeper Yu shouted as he did not seem to understand the situation. He just thought that it was a coincidence.

In his mind, these crows were just attracted to the walnuts as food. He intentionally removed the possibility that someone could control them.

Caw

Caw

The noise coming from the crows continued to be heard all over the Medical Pavillion and throughout the city. 

"You! Stop them!" Yu pulled a guard and commanded him to stop the crows.

Since the guard was stronger, regardless of his attempt, to pull or push, the guard did not budge. The guard shook his head. If the others were not moving, he would not as well.

He did not have enough guts to face thousands of crows alone! He was not even married yet!

After the failure to move the guard, Shopkeeper Yu tried to push another shopkeeper to stop the crows. Similar to the guard earlier, this attempt also failed.

Regardless of who he commanded, no one wanted to go closer to the crows that were currently enjoying the walnuts.

Seeing that no one wanted to listen to him, he decided to do with his own hands.

He pulled a sword from a guard's scabbard and rushed to the crows who were enjoying the walnuts, completely forgetting that crows also ate meat.

Xi Ma's face went black seeing Shopkeeper Yu's action. "Stupid! Stop! You will die!"
