At that moment, fearing trouble from Sang Qingxiao, I slipped out of Jingjing City as quickly as possible, feeling quite dejected. I had intended to keep a low profile today, but unfortunately, there was a fool beside me.
"Oh, is that Heart's Blood yours?"
"Thank you, Miss Sang, for showing mercy that day."
"You are much more reasonable than your niece. Ji Xiao has been spoiled and is currently in seclusion at home reflecting on her actions. Su Songhua spoke while bowing respectfully to Li Cu. The Su Family made a mistake that caused the Black General to suffer and nearly lose his life. If the Black General has any requests, please feel free to voice them. The Su Family will do everything in their power to fulfill them as an expression of our apology."
Li Cu responded generously, "Forget it; those feelings have long passed. The outcome was always good. I became one of the few Spirit Familiars not trapped in the Demon Sealing Bag."
Su Songhua smiled awkwardly. "Ignorance is no crime. My brother here is rather uninformed and failed to recognize Miss Sang and the Black General. He has offended both of you, so please don't hold it against him."
"You are the Black General!"
A girl burst out from behind the Liang Family master, her eyes sparkling as she stared at Li Cu.
Li Cu sheepishly rubbed the back of his head and chuckled, "Hey, I'm not black anymore; I go by Li Cu now."
The girl’s eyes sparkled with excitement. "Ah! I hear stories about you every day; I can never get enough! Today, I finally see the living Black General!"
"Oh! I'm so excited! Black General, hello! My name is Liang Xiaomiao. I admire you so much! I want to go to battle like you and protect my homeland!"
"Wow, even Yezhou has a little fan of the Black General," Li Cu thought, feeling a bit embarrassed by the girl's enthusiasm. "But on the battlefield, bullets don’t have eyes; you should think this through."
"I've already thought it through! My father doesn't stop me, but the conscription office won’t accept me." Liang Xiaomiao affectionately linked her arm with Li Cu's and pulled him aside. "Do you have any connections to help me get in?"
The Liang Family master introduced himself as Old Man Liang Shangshan, "I’m that unfilial girl’s father. I thought to myself, how could a dignified Yongxin Marquis bring a girl along for work? Turns out both of you have impressive backgrounds."
Liang Shangshan eyed Misha's impressive physique with envy. "And this one here doesn’t seem ordinary either."
Qi Xiaomian introduced her, "Leopard Demon Lizu."
Liang Shangshan's eyes lit up just like his daughter's, and several of his sons gathered around.
"Wow! A wanted criminal from Pujisi with a high bounty that keeps increasing every year! Our Liang Family was involved in that too. A few months ago, when your name disappeared from the wanted list, I thought you had been caught. Who would have thought I'd run into you here?"
"You’re quite something; breaking into a place like the Demon Suppression Tower and making everyone in the martial world lose track of you is no small feat. By the way, where's your Qilin Arm? Let me take a look; it’s a good omen!"
Sang Qingxiao observed the lively exchange between both sides and said to Qi Xiaomian, "These two demons are far more famous than I am."
Qi Xiaomian agreed wholeheartedly, "Indeed they are."
Is everyone in the Liang Family this warm-hearted? I had only heard about their harmonious family before; today is my first time witnessing it, and I must say, I am quite impressed.
The cheerful atmosphere here made several members of the Qi Family uncomfortable, especially since the women they looked down upon turned out to be quite remarkable. After being kicked, Qi Xiaopeng, filled with indignation, wanted to confront them, but Qi Xiaokun stopped him. He raised his voice to remind everyone that Ouyang Jun had already walked far away.
