I Have Unparalleled Comprehension

Ligature Mark

When the people from the Heaven Surveillance Bureau arrived, let’s see how they would deal with it.

Based on Liu Xu’s thoughts, this person might be in trouble.

Killing the Jisheng Cult and the Underworld Blacksmith couple was a righteous act.

At least, that was what Liu Xu thought.

The Jisheng Cult and the Underworld Blacksmith couple had done countless bloody deeds and had a lot of blood debts.

If this expert killed them, Liu Xu would quickly applaud. However, the story was different since an official from the Heaven Surveillance Bureau had also died.

Judging from the Heaven Surveillance Bureau’s personality, they would probably investigate this matter to the end.

“I don’t know why he killed the official…” Liu Xu rubbed her forehead. After thinking so much, her head felt slightly swollen.

After thinking for a while, Liu Xu decided to put this matter aside for the time being. There were only a few days left until the people from the Heaven Surveillance Bureau arrived.

It was already late at night.

Liu Xu blew out the oil lamp, lay on the bed, and gradually fell asleep.

…

The next day.

Xu Bai woke up early. After washing up, he went to the front yard.

In the courtyard, there were already bodyguards practicing their moves.

In their line of work, although they only knew some farmer-style martial arts, they still had to practice every day.

Some skills would become rusty if one did not practice them, and that could prove fatal at critical moments.

Seeing Xu Bai walk out, the bodyguards hurriedly greeted him.

Xu Bai nodded and instructed them to continue practicing. He then went out to eat alone.

The streets were bustling, with an endless stream of people, a mixture of city spirit and noise, and it was particularly lively.

In front of the stall, Xiao Yue was busy.

“It’s finally opened after so long.”

Xu Bai walked over. Just as he sat down, he saw Xiao Yue running over.

“Big brother, are you having the usual?” Xiao Yue lowered her head. She looked like she was not in a good mood.

Xu Bai wanted to rub her head as usual, but when he saw Xiao Yue’s expression, he frowned.

“Something happened at home?”

Ever since he came here to eat, Xu Bai had gradually become addicted.

Xiao Yue was very innocent. After all, she was a six or seven-year-old girl. Moreover, she was in the Great Yue Country which was similar to ancient times. Most of the time, she maintained the characteristics of a young girl.

Lively, but timid.

When she met someone she knew, she would be as na?ve as a chattering swallow. When she met a stranger, she would become like a quail.

Humans liked beautiful things, and so did Xu Bai.

Ever since he came to this world, his hands had been stained with too much blood.

Even though he knew that these people deserved to die because they provoked him.

However, Xiao Yue’s innocence made Xu Bai feel much better.

Hence, when he saw Xiao Yue dejected today, he casually asked.

“It’s alright, big brother, wait for a while, I’ll go get some food for you.” Xiao Yue said with her head still lowered, then turned around and left.

Normally, she would raise her head and show an expression like she was asking for a head pat.

Xu Bai rubbed his chin as he stared at Xiao Yue’s back.

In this situation, something must have happened.

And it was not a small matter.

With the little girl’s personality, she would forget small things after a while. It was very abnormal now.

The more Xu Bai thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. Before he could think about it, a gust of wind blew past him.

Following the direction of the wind, the woman in white passed by him.

It had been a long time since he had seen the woman in white. Xu Bai was slightly surprised to see her this time.

“Xiao Yue, give me two buns. Pack them up,” Liu Xu said as she stood in front of the stall.

In this stall, other than Xiao Yue, there were also Xiao Yue’s parents.

A middle-aged couple with ordinary looks was busy at the stall. Xiao Yue was in charge of running errands.

“Okay, Sister Liu.” Xiao Yue was still not in a good mood.

At this moment, Liu Xu could tell that something was wrong.

“What’s wrong, Xiao Yue?”

“Nothing, Sister Liu. Maybe I caught a cold recently.” Xiao Yue forced a smile.

Children could not lie.

Liu Xu took the buns and pulled Xiao Yue aside, whispering to each other.

On the other side, the middle-aged couple knew Liu Xu’s identity and stayed silent. The middle-aged woman served the dishes.

“Sir, please enjoy.”

The buns were quickly served to Xu Bai. He took a bite and tried his best to prick up his ears to eavesdrop.

Unfortunately, the street was too noisy to hear clearly.

After a while, Liu Xu left and Xiao Yue got busy again.

Xu Bai thought about it. After eating the bun, he called Xiao Yue over to settle the bill.

Xiao Yue quickly ran up to him, her head still lowered.

Xu Bai placed the money in Xiao Yue’s palm and asked, “Xiao Yue, tell me, what happened?”

“It’s alright…” Xiao Yue forced a smile.

For some reason, two streams of tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.

She couldn’t control herself. She felt terrible.

“Xiao Yue… Xiao Yue is going to die.”

Xu Bai’s gaze froze. He frowned and said, “What nonsense are you talking about!”

“It’s true, big brother. A few days ago, Xiao Yue dreamt of grandma. Grandma said that she wanted to bring Xiao Yue to her place. After that, I am listless every day. The elderly said that if one dreamed of an invitation from a deceased family member, they would die…” Xiao Yue cried as she spoke, wiping her tears with her hands.

At this moment, Xu Bai noticed something unusual.

There was a mark of strangulation on Xiao Yue’s neck.

It was not very obvious. If one did not look carefully, one would not be able to tell.

“Big brother, Xiao Yue needs to go out for a while, so I won’t talk to you anymore.” Xiao Yue lowered her head and mumbled.

Xu Bai did not ask any more questions. His gaze did not leave Xiao Yue’s neck.

Looking at Xiao Yue, it seemed like he did not intend to say anything.

There was no point in asking further.

Xiao Yue returned to the stall and said something to the middle-aged woman.

In front of the stall, the middle-aged couple nodded at Xiao Yue, as if agreeing to her request.

Then, Xiao Yue left.

Xu Bai thought for a moment and stood up. He held the handle of the Ghost Head Saber and followed behind Xiao Yue.

The streets were lively, but Xiao Yue walked very slowly, as if she had lost her soul.

After walking through several streets, Xiao Yue walked into a remote alley.

Standing in the alley, Xiao Yue suddenly stopped.

Xu Bai followed behind. When he saw this scene, he frowned slightly.

Beside Xiao Yue, the woman in white suddenly appeared and touched Xiao Yue’s head.

“Sister Liu, can my illness really be cured?” Xiao Yue looked up.

“It can be cured.” Liu Xu squatted down and touched the mark on Xiao Yue’s neck. “Trust me.”

Because her back was facing Xu Bai, when Liu Xu squatted down, her white clothes were pushed up.

Just the sight of her squatting down was enough to make one’s heart race.

Xiao Yue lowered her head again. She was in a bad mood and kept wiping her tears.

“Let’s go. Don’t do anything stupid. Bring me to your house. I can help you.” Liu Xu stood up, held Xiao Yue’s hand, and left along the alley.

Xu Bai stood where he was, deep in thought.

He placed his hand on the handle of the Ghost Head Saber and did not let go for a moment.

Hearing their conversation, he already had his speculations.

Xiao Yue seemed to be sick, but the ligature mark on her neck was very strange.

It was as if someone had wrapped it with a rope.

What did this woman mean when she said not to do anything stupid?

“Let’s wait and see.”

Xu Bai stepped out of the alley and continued to follow quietly.
