Shao Yun thought he had vented all his anger towards Hua Chu and Jian Qiu, but he still couldn't calm down his inner restlessness.

So he came to Tian Tiezui's storytelling stall, hoping to pass the difficult time by listening to storytelling.

Shao Yun savored Liyue's special snacks while sipping fine wine.

The sounds of storytelling, cheers, and conversations from the surrounding diners interweave into a lively scene.

However, in this hustle and bustle, Shao Yun's heart was as lonely as an isolated island.

At noon, when Tian Tiezui took a short break, Zhongli suddenly appeared in front of Shao Yun.

When Shao Yun saw Zhongli, he was so excited that he couldn't express it in words. He raised the bottle of wine to signal Zhongli.

"Mr. Zhongli, what a coincidence that we meet again! Come, let's have a drink together?"

Zhongli did not answer Shao Yun, but just sat opposite him.

He observed Shao Yun for a while, then asked calmly: "Mr. Shao Yun, I see you seem a little absent-minded, is there something on your mind?"

Shao Yun concealed his emotions and answered with a smile.

"That's not true. I'm very happy. I've never been so happy before!"

But Zhongli remained unmoved. He continued, "I see your eyes are filled with sorrow, grief, and anger. You can't hide what's in your heart, and you can't hide it from me even if you put on a fake smile."

Shao Yun's smile gradually disappeared, and he silently put the bottle of wine on the table.

"You're wrong. I've never been so happy! Come have a drink with me..."

Zhongli remained unmoved and stared at Shao Yun quietly.

"I know you are angry about Miss Huanian's matter."

When Shao Yun heard this, his expression changed slightly. He gently pushed the bottle of wine on the table in front of Zhongli, his voice trembling with a hint of pleading.

"No, I didn't. I'm not going to bother with it anymore. Let's not talk about it. Just have a drink with me, okay?"

Zhongli did not move, his eyes never leaving Shao Yun's face. He took a deep breath.

"Shao Yun, I know the whole story. Zhudian Fang and the other two killed Hua Nian and made Yixian and Yizhu orphans. You are holding your breath now. You can avenge Miss Hua Nian, and no one will stop you."

When Shao Yun heard this, his expression became even uglier.

He slammed the table, his eyes wide, his voice filled with anger.

"I'll say this one last time. Miss Huanian's issue has been resolved! I don't want to talk about it anymore. Come drink with me!"

Zhongli's heart tightened when he saw Shao Yun's reaction. He realized that Shao Yun might have been under some kind of pressure or threat.

"Is it because of the guy behind you? Is he forcing you to…"

The moment Shao Yun heard Zhongli mention the "flattering man", his eyes flashed with indescribable anger.

He stood up suddenly, and with a wave of his arms, the wooden table in front of him was instantly overturned to the ground like a fallen leaf blown by the wind.

The table hit the ground with a deafening sound.

Shao Yun was half crazy at this moment. He pointed at Zhongli and spoke incoherently, as if he had a mental illness.

"No, I just don't want to care! Did you make a deal with that guy and then persuade me to kill those two guys?"

Zhongli saw through Shao Yun's inner struggle, and he said calmly: "Vent it out, it's not good to hold it in your heart..."

But Shao Yun could no longer hear anything at this moment. He was like a mad dog, venting his emotions to Zhongli crazily.

"What did that guy promise you? He asked you to persuade me to kill Hua Chu and Jian Qiu, that couple!"

Shao Yun's voice almost tore the air apart, and his eyes were red as if they were about to spit out fire.

"Do you know what the hell? If I really did that, Huanian's soul would be taken away! He would never be able to be reincarnated!"

Shao Yun roared, nearly losing control. He pointed at his chest and poured out all the madness in his heart.

"You are just a useless person who drinks tea, walks his bird and watches the show every day! Miss Huanian prayed to the Rock God, but it was useless. She prayed to the devil and succeeded! The devil agreed to her conditions! I tried my best to prevent the completion of this contract, what do you know!"

Zhongli listened to Shao Yun's accusations against him expressionlessly, without interrupting or showing any emotion.

Suddenly, a bald middle-aged man broke into the tense atmosphere. He walked towards Shao Yun eagerly and asked in a trembling voice: "Were you talking about my daughter Hua Chu?"

Shao Yun was interrupted by this sudden appearance of the middle-aged and elderly man. He turned his head, looked at the middle-aged and elderly man, and asked in confusion: "Who are you?"

The middle-aged man took a deep breath and introduced himself: "I am Lord De'an, and people used to call me that. The Huachu you mentioned just now is my daughter."

When Shao Yun heard this, he was filled with anger again. He told Duke De'an everything that had happened without mercy.

"Yes, it's that Hua Chu! She and her eloping partner Jian Qiu actually killed Miss Huanian in order to elope!"

When Lord De'an heard this, an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

He tightly grasped Shao Yun's arm and asked in a trembling voice: "You mean... Xiaochu is still alive?"

Shao Yun angrily shook off Lord De'an's hand and roared, "Yes! She is alive and well! But she killed the innocent Miss Huanian!"

However, Duke De'an ignored Shao Yun's anger. He laughed excitedly, for he had heard the most wonderful news in the world.

He clapped his hands and shouted loudly: "Great! Xiaochu is still alive! This is the Emperor appearing! She must be under his protection!"

Shao Yun looked at Lord De'an's complacent look and his anger reached its peak.

"Did you hear that? Huachu and Jianqiu killed Miss Huanian in order to elope! How can you still laugh? How can you still be so happy?"

However, Lord De'an seemed to be deaf and did not hear Shao Yun's cries. He was immersed in his own joy and felt that the whole world had become better because of his daughter's "rebirth".

"Xiaochu is still alive... She must be living well under the protection of the Emperor... That's great!"

Zhongli stood quietly by the side, watching this scene. A complex emotion flashed across his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

Both good and bad people pray to the Rock King, and he used to be very conflicted.

Just like Erye, he worships both the black and white worlds.

But he is Zhongli now, and he is no longer qualified to intervene in the affairs of mortals...

"Did you hear that? Huachu and Jianqiu killed Miss Huanian in order to elope! Why are you so happy?"

Lord De'an was completely unaware of the anger in Shao Yun's heart. He laughed out loud, his voice full of pride and disdain.

"Hahaha, happy? Of course I'm happy! It's just a dead actor. As long as my daughter is alive, nothing else matters!"

When Shao Yun heard this, his defenses collapsed. His eyes turned red, tears and anger intertwined.

"Shut the fuck up! Miss Huanian is not an actress, she is the mother of two children! In your eyes, your daughter's life is life, but the life of the mother of those two children is not life? You are not worthy of being a human being!"

As he spoke, Shao Yun suddenly rushed forward and grabbed Lord De'an's neck tightly with both hands.

His strength was so great that he lifted Lord De'an up.

Lord De'an was strangled to the point where he could hardly breathe. His face turned from red to white, and he struggled to let out a weak cry for help: "Help... Help..."

Zhongli was terrified watching from the side. Shao Yun had lost his mind at this moment. He hurried forward to try to stop Shao Yun and shouted: "Shao Yun! Stop! Are you crazy? If you kill someone in the street, you will be..."

However, Shao Yun was no longer willing to listen to any advice. His eyes were red and he shouted frantically, "Leave me alone! I'm going to kill this old bastard today. Even if Ningguang comes, it won't help!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhongli knew that he had to stop Shao Yun as soon as possible.

However, just as he was about to take action, he suddenly saw a shocking scene out of the corner of his eye.

Seeing Shao Yun's angry look and Lord De'an's painful struggle, Yizhui showed an expression of fear and anxiety on his face.

Zhong Li's heart tightened. He grabbed Shao Yun's arm and shouted, "Shao Yun! Are you going to kill someone in front of the child?"

After hearing Zhongli's words, Shao Yun felt as if a bucket of cold water was poured over him from head to toe, and he woke up completely.

He turned his head suddenly and his eyes happened to hit a pillar next to him.

Yizhu was still holding a few fresh apples tightly in his hands, but his eyes were full of despair. It was obvious that he had heard all the conversations just now.

Yizhu's hands were shaking, and the apples slipped from his hands and rolled to the ground.

He asked with a tearful voice, "Big brother, you said, my mother was murdered?"

Shao Yun felt a panic in his heart. He loosened his hands that were tightly pinching De'an Gong's neck. His fingers turned slightly white from using too much force.

He tried to remain calm, but his voice trembled involuntarily.

"No, your mother committed suicide, you heard it wrong!"

However, his excuse seemed so pale and powerless in front of Yizhu's clear and desperate eyes.

Yizhu stared at him closely, and Shao Yun's heart began to beat wildly. He knew that he could no longer hide it.

He took a few steps back in panic, ready to escape from this suffocating scene.

The voice of Yizhu sounded again.

"Big brother, I heard it. My mother was killed by two people named Hua Chu and Jian Qiu!"

Shao Yun's face turned pale instantly, and he shouted in horror: "I am a hopeless idiot! You can't believe what I say!"

After saying that, he turned around and ran away.

Yizhu stood there in a daze, tears silently falling. He looked down at the apple on the ground, then looked up at Shao Yun's receding back, muttering to himself.

"My mother was killed by Hua Chu and Jian Qiu..."

Zhongli looked at all this with mixed feelings. He first looked at the desperate Yizhu, then turned to look at the unconscious Duke De'an, and finally fixed his eyes on Shao Yun's hastily fleeing back, and he sighed.

"It's over, it's all over, Shao Yun is going to kill those two people at all costs."

……

Shao Yun rushed out of Liyue Harbor. He galloped all the way, over the hills, through the fields, running without a purpose, and he never stopped.

From noon to dusk, and from dusk to night, the moon rises quietly, and its silver light shines on the earth.

His steps began to become heavy, but he still did not stop and kept running.

Finally, when the last bit of his strength was exhausted, Shao Yun stopped.

He knelt on the ground, supported himself with his hands, and gasped heavily.

He raised his head, looked up at the starry sky, and a heart-wrenching cry came from his throat.

"Ah! You devil, why did you intervene? I hate you so much!" His voice echoed in the night sky, filled with endless grief and helplessness.

After shouting, he seemed to have been drained of all his strength and collapsed to the ground powerlessly.

Crystal drops of sweat slid down his face, interweaving with the mud, forming a sad and beautiful picture.

……

"Revenge is a fool's game!"

……

"Marston, you damn idiot!"

……

"I'm John Marston! Micah, I'm coming to see you!"

……

"I'm not going anywhere, old man!"
