Chapter 622 - 192: The Missing Senior Brother
Chu Keqing slowly stood up, holding a stick, and walked in front of Luo Qing, who was already trembling in fear.
He recalled a few months ago when this junior sister, with a cold expression, personally used a stick to smash his leg.
At that time, Chu Keqing’s expression was exactly the same as it is today.
When she smashed his leg, her face showed no anger or ferocity, just a cold and calm demeanor, yet with this expression, she struck, struck, struck again, breaking his leg!
Luo Qing isn’t afraid of his junior sister’s fiery glare, but he feels a deep fear when she wears this cold and indifferent expression.
"Senior brother, it won’t take long, I’m very quick," Chu Keqing squatted down and whispered beside Luo Qing’s head, "Honestly, I didn’t want to punish you this time. You did something that, if looked into, I actually quite liked. I even wanted to reward you.
But unfortunately... someone found me here, and I dare not defy them."
Luo Qing, with a pleading face, said, "Junior sister, at least let me die knowing why. Whom have I offended this time?"
"Have you recently been doing fortune-telling and looking at life charts for someone?"
"Yes, yes, I have been fortune-telling, but, but I haven’t caused any trouble, nor have I..."
"There’s someone named Lu Xiuting..."
"..." Luo Qing thought for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, indeed there is! Her family name is Yang, from Port City..."
Then, Luo Qing hurriedly argued, "Junior sister! Junior sister! Don’t act yet, listen to me first! I’ve learned my lesson, this time I did inquire, that woman named Lu, her husband is from Port City, a Port City bumpkin, not someone from our Jinling Prefecture. I thought it’s so far away, it wouldn’t be related to us, so..."
"So, you gave them a fortune about mother and daughter life charts clashing?" Chu Keqing shook her head.
"This, this isn’t really harming anyone, is it? I heard she had a daughter who wasn’t favored. Since the daughter is already out of favor, sending her away to a distant place doesn’t count as excessively hurting anyone!"
Luo Qing pleaded, "Junior sister! My leg was broken once already, just a few months ago. I’m not young anymore, my leg has just healed for a few days, and if you break it again, I, I fear, I fear for my future..."
"Senior brother," Chu Keqing sighed, "Why don’t you understand? I break your leg for your own good. If I don’t break your leg, and someone comes looking for you, I’m afraid they’ll take your life.
Just listen and endure. Remember, I’m not breaking your leg; I’m saving your life."
"No, no, no, I... ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!!"
Luo Qing was about to plead for mercy, but only half a sentence was spoken before a sudden scream!
·
A moment later, Chu Keqing stood up again, taking a few deep breaths, and gently threw the stick to the ground beside him.
Luo Qing was lying on the ground; his right calf bone was already bent, the calf taking an irregular shape.
Luo Qing was in such pain that he was almost passing out, his screams dwindling from large to small, finally becoming faint whimpers of pain on the ground.
Female assistant Xiaocai had already walked over, picking up her phone, quickly taking several photos of Luo Qing, and then sending them to Chu Keqing.
Chu Keqing nodded.
"Luo Qing, from today onwards, you’re not allowed to do fortune-telling or give face readings anymore — you haven’t mastered this skill. If you keep giving reckless readings, you’re inviting trouble!"
After a pause, Chu Keqing sighed: "I will announce to all colleagues that starting today, you, Luo Qing, are expelled from the Cloud Sect. You won’t be able to use the title of my senior brother to earn money outside anymore."
Luo Qing, lying on the ground, shivered, a flicker of despair crossing his eyes: "You’re, you’re driving me to ruin! Chu Keqing!! How will I survive in the future!!"
Chu Keqing shook her head: "You’ve accumulated quite a wealth over the years; you won’t starve. Besides, why should I continue to tolerate you using my name to make money?"
"I, I am, after all, part of the Cloud Sect. I, I am still your senior brother!" Luo Qing’s voice trembled, "Do you have to be so ruthless? Years ago, my father..."
"I’ve repaid the master’s kindness enough," Chu Keqing shook her head, "If not for the master’s sentiment, you’d have died countless times by now!"
Luo Qing struggled to lift his head to look at Chu Keqing, suddenly shouting.
"Father!!! Father!!! Open your eyes and look!! You gave the entire Cloud Sect to that surnamed Chu!! Now she disregards old affections and wants to destroy your son!!"
"Shut up!"
A trace of evil qi flashed across Chu Keqing’s face, making Luo Qing’s body shake instantly, yet he only looked at her with resentful eyes.
Chu Keqing lifted her head, took a deep breath, and then turned to walk inside the main hall. Soon she returned, holding a brown paper envelope.
Bang!
She threw the envelope to the ground in front of Luo Qing.
"On the same street as your family’s tea house, I’ve bought four shops, and the property deeds and real estate certificates are in here! All under your name!
Even if you do nothing, you’ll have tens of thousands of revenue annually just by collecting rent, enough for you to live the rest of your life doing nothing and being a wealthy man at home!"
While speaking, Chu Keqing’s tone turned cold: "Luo Qing, our brotherly bond has ended. You are no longer my senior brother, and I am no longer your junior sister."
Upon hearing this, Luo Qing’s face turned pale, he gritted his teeth and tried to grab the brown paper envelope in his hand, opened it and took a look, indeed finding a stack of red certificates inside.
"Chu Keqing... you treat me like this, break my leg, expel me from the Cloud Sect, just use these few shops to buy me out..."
