Chapter 21 : If You Don't Cut the Roots, the Weeds Will Grow Again in the Spring Wind
"Come, brother. Now there's no one to disturb our drinking."
The small gourd seemed to have a rather large capacity.
That precious wine was casually sloshed into the wine bowls.
On the rooftop, Ming Chen produced two bowls, poured the wine, and said to Ling Yu with a grin.
Ling Yu didn't ask, and Ming Chen didn't say why he was here or how he had found her.
Е̌ n um̂а .іd́
"Er..."
The aroma of the wine wafted over, but Ling Yu was in no mood to enjoy it.

She had just been caught jumping out of the Li Residence.
Although she knew Ming Chen would certainly not betray her, meeting his eyes made her feel inexplicably guilty and in the wrong, like a child caught doing something wrong by her master.
"What did my brother go to do?"
"Kill someone?"
Ẽ n u̇ m.а
Ming Chen knew she was a woman of few words and asked again with a cheerful smile.
"Er... yes."
This little brother was incredibly smart. Since he had followed her here, he must have guessed what she had done.
Ling Yu was not surprised by Ming Chen's words.

She hadn't actually killed him; that menace was already dead before she made her move.
But in terms of her objective, she had indeed come to kill.
E nŭ m̆а . id̄.
She had gone to the Li Residence, and Li Songyan was dead.
That was the fact of the matter; the details were no longer important.
Ming Chen shook his head upon hearing this, looked at the vast Li Residence in the distance, and sighed softly. "Tsk tsk tsk~ Looks like we won't be getting Old Li's apology gift after all~"
"My brother is still a bit too impatient."
Ling Yu was taken aback by his words and said, "Little brother, I'm sorry... I was a bit impulsive."
Yes, she had been impulsive.

They had a conflict during the day, and she had acted tonight.
Although she had left a letter written in blood, it would be hard to convince anyone that this matter had no connection to them.
Ming Chen had said he had left some leeway, but now there was no leeway left.
Ming Chen laughed heartily and waved his hand. "Hahahahaha~ I'm not blaming you, brother."
"He's just a silk-pants. If he's bothering you, then killing him is nothing!"
People shouldn't be bound by all sorts of rules and regulations.
Е̊ń_u m̃ ǎ. і̌ d
This was the point Ming Chen had always wanted to convey to Ling Yu.
Miss Star of Slaughter was truly a decisive person. Annoyed during the day, she acted that very night.

Ming Chen hadn't expected this, but it was still within reason.
"Heh..."
The apprehensive Ling Yu heard Ming Chen's gentle and tolerant words.
She couldn't help but curl her lips into a smile, revealing shallow, very attractive dimples at the corners of her mouth.

"However..."
Then, Ming Chen's tone changed. "If you don't cut the roots, the weeds will grow again in the spring wind!"
"I have no objection to you taking action, brother. But since you decided to act, why not eliminate the evil completely? Why not kill the entire Li family, young and old? They are enemies with whom you can never reconcile. Isn't keeping them around just asking for more trouble?"
There was no moon tonight; it was exceptionally dark.

The handsome young master drank his wine, a smile on his face, his voice as calm as if he were discussing some trivial matter. However, his bright eyes were chilling.
It made Ling Yu tremble. "Kill them all?"
Е ňū mа̀
Ming Chen nodded with a beaming smile. "If you have the ability, kill them all. Don't even leave a dog behind!"
On the rooftop, the aroma of wine drifted into the distance with the wind. The night was very quiet.
Ling Yu was silent for a long time before saying, "You're right."
"Good, good, good~"
No wonder she's a Star of Slaughter!
Her thinking changes quickly. She's kind, but not a bleeding heart.

Ming Chen looked at her with great interest and continued to ask, "Brother, let me ask you another question. What if the master of this Li family is a great philanthropist? He's always charitable, helps the local community, but just dotes on his son too much and has spoiled him. What then? Should you still cut the roots?"
"This..."
Ling Yu froze. Her expression shifted, and for a moment, she didn't know how to answer.
"Since ancient times, a benevolent person cannot command troops. You are too merciful, too loyal to your friends. This won't make you a general; it's more suited for being a greenwood hero."
Ming Chen shook his head, patted Ling Yu's shoulder, and repeated what he had said during the day. "Brother, don't let those useless things bind you."
The end of many people's lives could be foreseen.

Ming Chen felt that if he hadn't intervened, the ending for this Miss Star of Slaughter might not have been very good.
A cup of poisoned wine to end her life, something like that.

Ling Yu trembled at his words.
After a long time, she finally raised her eyes and met Ming Chen's gaze.
"Little brother, perhaps you are right."
She felt that inside this sixteen-year-old little brother lived a shrewd and calculating old man.
Е́ n̊ u m̄ а
He was too smart, as if he were not a player in this world's game, but a silent observer watching the play.
He saw the coldness of the world, the evil in people's hearts, and the truth hidden behind the surface, to the point where he had become numb. In the end... he lacked a certain passion.
She knew that much of what Ming Chen said was right, but... a person doesn't necessarily have to walk the right path, do they?
Miss Star of Slaughter's eyes were bright, her voice clear and resonant. "But I have already decided to walk this path, and I will walk it to the end. Everything I have learned over the past ten-plus years has been for this. I will continue to learn, continue to change, continue to adapt. Whether I'm bound or not, it doesn't matter... You said it yourself during the day, a dead heart cannot be healed. I have things I must do. Even if I die, it doesn't matter."

"Is that so?"
Ming Chen lowered his gaze, didn't say much more, just raised his wine bowl and said with a smile, "Cheers!"
Ė nùm̄ ä . ĩ d́
"Cheers!"
The two of them looked at each other and smiled.
And just then,
"Whoosh!"
A sudden wind rose, and in the distance, the light of a fire suddenly flared up.
Cries came from the Li Residence. People who didn't belong there seemed to have broken in.

This interrupted the idle chat between the two of them.
"This... little brother, what's going on?"
Ling Yu was stunned. Looking at the chaotic Li Residence, she couldn't help but ask Ming Chen.
Ming Chen shrugged. "Someone has come to cut the roots for us."
"That's why I said we wouldn't be getting Old Li's apology."
Ling Yu's gaze immediately fell on Ming Chen. "This... did you do this?"

You still say you're not some powerful figure?!
This person, which of his words are actually true?!

Miss Star of Slaughter's gaze felt a little impolite. He rolled his eyes. "Of course not!"
...
"Clang!"
A wooden door was brutally kicked open.

The residence was in chaos, fires blazed, and wails were everywhere.
A bandit with a blood-dripping blade burst into the room.
The large blade swung violently towards the silk-pants sleeping peacefully on the bed, cutting him clean in two.
Only after cutting him did he realize the other person was already cold.

He frowned slightly at the delicate wound on the other's neck.
Another expert?

Time was tight. He didn't have time to think too much. He spat at the body and finally ran out the door to continue the slaughter.
The unlucky Young Master Li Songyan had truly offended too many people.
In a single night, he had died three times.
