Realms In The Firmament
chapter-1405

Xue Danru spoke continually, "I went for him… I went to the right side of the mountain. The entire area became stinky and filthy like a toilet because of the guys… The stinky smell in the air could have killed me. Li Wuliang was actually having a good time enjoying the life over there… He sat around the latrine, eating meat and drinking liquor with a bunch of pricks… He was having a great fun…"

"Ugh…"

Xuan Bing was attentively listening, and she couldn't help imagining the scene, and then retched.

"I told him to leave for me… The bastard didn't want to…" As Xue Danru spoke to this, she was losing confidence. After a short pause, she continued, "After that, I said…"

"What did you say?" Ye Xiao realized that what came next was the most important part of the issue. He guessed what she said afterward was the reason to the conflict.

"… I said, how are those brothers useful to you? They are a bunch of good-for-nothing… What can you get by hanging with a bunch of those?" Xue Danru sounded pretty aggrieved.

"…" Ye Xiao clapped his own forehead speechlessly. Li Wuliang was straightforward and forthright. If he became friends to somebody, he wouldn't mind the others' cultivation or anything. If somebody reproached his friends, it would touch his most sensitive nerve. A conflict was inevitable.

"What then?" Ye Xiao held the forehead and feeling the pain in it.

"Li Wuliang boasted shamelessly, saying that every single one of his brothers was a tough man, capable man, and they were all life-and-death brothers, just like you. We are true brothers! How do you, a woman, know about it? That was what he said."

"Then?" Ye Xiao took a breath of relief. What Li Wuliang said was a bit overreacting, but he was still self-restraining… That wouldn't have started a fight…

"Then I said…" Xue Danru's voice was lowering down, and now she talked humming and hawing, "I said… Ye Xiao is more or less the same useless. He was seeking revenge for you, and guess what, he almost got himself killed, let alone the failure… Now, he has his great achievement, standing high above the others, yet he dumped you to this difficult job, and he gets to enjoy his life alone… You see him as a good brother… an honest brother, yet you are just a subordinate to him…"

Xue Danru weakly added, "I was so annoyed… I didn't mean it…"

Ye Xiao was speechless. He rubbed his temples and said, "No need for the details please… What happened then?"

"And then…" Xue Danru's tear started dropping down. "After that, the bastard hit me with a fist strike without hesitation… He jumped up in fury and told me to get away… He said he was repudiating me…"

She couldn't hold her piteous dignity anymore, so she sat on the floor and started crying in tears, "The conscienceless bastard… I have given him everything, and I didn't even have an official wedding yet… Now, he is going to repudiate me… I am so caring for him, yet he treats me like this. How are we going to spend the days together…"

Ye Xiao and Xuan Bing looked at each other, and both were speechless.

They both felt like millions of alpacas running across their heads, each of the alpacas covered by some pretty smelly sh*t.

Ye Xiao couldn't be surprised even to think of it with his toes.

Xue Danru was mean, and what she said was harsh, but she was definitely concerned for Li Wuliang. What she said, she said it because of haste and anger. However, no matter why she said it, what she said was too serious for Li Wuliang.

The most important thing for Li Wuliang in his life was brotherhood.

The others all went after brotherhood!

He would fight back if somebody humiliated him or hit him, but if anybody dared to insult his brothers, that would be some hostility he would start a life-and death fight for.

It only pissed him more when somebody insulted Ye Xiao!

He was Li Wuliang's best brother in a lifetime after all.

It totally touched Li Wuliang's nerve!

According to Xue Danru, Li Wuliang didn't use his Fierce Saber, only his fists. That was actually very self-restraining…

Now, Xuan Bing didn't feel filled with indignation anymore.

[You had it coming, didn't you?]

What Xue Danru said was reasonable, but it was too much.

Xuan Bing hated Li Wuliang for hitting a lady because it was dishonorable, but if he did what he did for his brother, for Ye Xiao, that would be a different story!

When the perspective changed, the first impression of something could be very different!

"Ah… I am going to check it out now." Ye Xiao rubbed the glabella and made a sigh. "We get together to fight against the evil… Yet it turns out the first challenge I have is to mediate the dispute of you two… This is putting the cart before the horse…"

Xue Danru humphed and angrily said, "What do you mean putting the cart before the horse? The man has no idea how to care for a lady… I have had enough staying with such an ill-bred person…"

Ye Xiao stopped and spoke in a deep voice, "Oh really? He said he wanted to repudiate you, and you said you have had enough being with him. You both want the same thing. I guess I don't have to go anymore. I don't want to offend both sides."

Xue Danru was numb, and her face turned pale. She started to look at Xuan Bing, begging with the expression in her eyes.

Xuan Bing tried not to crack out a laugh, so she softly said, "How could you say that? How can you give up just because you don't want to offend both sides? It is about your brother's happiness in his life. Do you think your feeling is more important than his life? Just go and solve the problem."

Ye Xiao looked at Xue Danru, and Xue Danru tried to avoid an eye contact. At last, she just lowered the head like a young married woman who had blundered, and couldn't say a word for a while.

After a long time, Xue Danru hesitatingly said, "Um… It ugh… He said he would repudiate me… He won't, will he?"

Ye Xiao stared at her. "I dare him! Unless he is going to pierce through the heavens! He has to get through me before he can repudiate his drossy wife!"

Xue Danru knew that Ye Xiao was on her side, but it just didn't feel right to hear what he just said. However, she didn't dare to say anything about it!

She murmured, "You are dross! Your families are all dross! Humph…"

The three of them reached the cabin that was built by Ye Xiao and given to Li Wuliang. What greeted them were the snoring inside the cabin, the smell of the liquor and meat… and the smell of something rotting.

Xue Danru's face turned red because of anger. "Look at this. Look! He… He hit me… and then he actually had the mood to enjoy his liquor and meat… He is actually sleeping so tight…"

Ye Xiao powerlessly sighed and then shouted loudly, "Li Wuliang!"

A sound of something hitting the floor sounded inside the cabin. It seemed somebody just fell on the floor. After that, Li Wuliang rushed over without wearing tops, "Who is it?"

As he saw Ye Xiao, he was glad. "It's you, brother!"

Then he saw Xue Danru, so got angry. "What are you doing here, woman? I have repudiated you already! I am going to hit you whenever I see you again!"
