Chapter 1747 - 1833: Death Upon Exposure
As the saying goes, a bad death is better than a tough life. When truly faced with life and death, no one really has the courage to confront it head-on."Inflict the Gu poison!"
After Su Xuan spoke, he turned around, and Xuan quickly implanted the Gu poison in them. To Xuan, the Gu poison he planted on these people was impossible for them to decipher.
"You only have one night. The Gu poison I planted in you reacts fatally to sunlight. If you don’t get the antidote from me by sunrise tomorrow, you might as well dig a hole and bury yourselves to avoid suffering!"
"..."
In that moment, each of them felt like crying without tears. The Twelve Grand Protectors never expected such an awkward situation. Once revered, now they were controlled, which was truly embarrassing.
There’s no help at such a critical moment of life and death. They didn’t have the courage to say they’d rather die than be humiliated. These individuals weren’t worthy of such honorary titles; at best, they were only high-class dogs.
So in times like these, they definitely didn’t want to think about dying. If they died, they’d lose everything, and they weren’t fools.
Su Xuan handed each of them a firework to use as a signal upon finding someone. Then he gave them photos of Xue Mengxue and Hu Shulin.
Eleven people left quickly. Zong Tianbao had already been kicked to death by Su Xuan, so he couldn’t participate.
After they left, people from Heroic Manor also took action. When everyone learned that Su Xuan was a traitor, they really couldn’t accept it. Someone who appeared to be the most humble was actually the legendary traitor, which was hard for them to imagine.
This night was restless for all of Miaojiang. Experts from Heaven Sect brought out their greatest skills, desperately wanting to find that person. They knew clearly that if they couldn’t find Xue Mengxue or the other person, they wouldn’t see tomorrow’s sunlight.
Su Xuan and Bu Daming drove around searching. Su Xuan was very anxious, really worried whether Xue Mengxue was in danger.
Meanwhile, in a desolate mountain of Miaojiang, Hu Shulin hid with Xue Mengxue in a bush. Xue Mengxue’s mouth was sealed, and her hands were tied with rope.
"Mmmmmm..."
Xue Mengxue cried out, never imagining that Hu Shulin, whom she regarded as an elder brother, was actually Heroic Manor’s biggest traitor. Who in this world could be trusted!
"Xue’er, I’ll help remove the tape, but don’t scream, or I’ll have to seal it again!"
Hu Shulin watched the situation outside, feeling anxious. Initially, he planned to escape overnight with Xue Mengxue to a mountain where they’d have many years together.
But unexpectedly, Su Xuan wasn’t killed in an explosion, Heroic Manor wasn’t blown up, the entire Qingzhu Gang was eradicated, and the Heaven-reaching Sect Leader was beaten to death by his followers. It was beyond Hu Shulin’s imagination.
Now he could only search for an opportunity to escape, not expecting Su Xuan to gather so many people to search for him in such a short time.
After helping Xue Mengxue tear open the tape, Xue Mengxue glared coldly at Hu Shulin and said icily.
"You’ve betrayed Big Brother Su’s brotherly affection!"
Her tone was as cold as ice, and full of disappointment. Before, her impression of Hu Shulin was good; he seemed like a brother.
But after the Gold Altar incident, she felt extreme disappointment with Hu Shulin, who was the true culprit behind Heroic Manor’s downfall.
When he kidnapped her, he placed explosives in her house. Xue Mengxue fainted from worry, but luckily they didn’t explode, which would have devastated her.
At this moment, Xue Mengxue was calm because she knew one thing—Su Xuan was okay, and she mustn’t shout, or her mouth would be sealed again.
"Brother, did he really treat me as a brother!"
Hu Shulin looked at Xue Mengxue coldly and spoke.
"How could he not treat you as a brother! I know Big Brother Su best; he never doubted you, yet you harmed him. How could you do such a thing!"
Xue Mengxue was truly disappointed. When she learned the truth, her heart felt immensely painful. It was a deep disappointment; you never truly know someone’s heart. Xue Mengxue once thought Hu Shulin was genuine and considerate, but he turned out to be fake.
"Hmph, if he really considered me a brother, he wouldn’t have taken Brother Meng to the Great Desert. Do you know why he took Brother Meng there?"
Hu Shulin said with clenched teeth.
"What does it have to do with Brother Meng! Hu Shulin, what are you trying to do!"
Xue Mengxue was confused. She used to call him Brother Hu, but now she addressed him by full name.
"I want to marry you, don’t you know that? Xue’er, marry me. I don’t care if you have a child; I’ll treat you well. Let’s leave this troubled place, find a utopia, and live like immortals!"
Just as Bu Daming predicted, Hu Shulin fell in love with Xue Mengxue, even to the point of madness. Xue Mengxue was stunningly beautiful and kind-hearted, and having interacted with her, other women seemed inferior.
"What did you say!"
Xue Mengxue couldn’t believe what she heard, completely bewildered. Hu Shulin caught her, intending to use her as a hostage for escape.
She hadn’t expected Hu Shulin to have feelings for her!
"I love you, Xue’er. I really love you. Marry me, and I’ll treat you as the happiest woman on earth!"
Hu Shulin spoke earnestly to Xue Mengxue.
"Are you crazy? I’ve always seen you as a brother. My heart has only held Su Xuan; you know that. What are you thinking!"
