Lu Ming was meditating when a sudden burst of angry curses came from outside the door. Immediately after, the door was suddenly kicked open with great force, the original not very strong wooden door suddenly smashed heavily on the ground with a loud bang, raising countless dust.

The young girl stiffened, her legs trembling. Shivering, she stood up from the wooden stool, looking in horror at the location of the door. The girl’s face suddenly turned white and her lips trembled, obviously in great shock. She barely managed to pull out a smile and stammered as she looked across the table, “Second, second young master, why are you here?”

Lu Ming also raised his eyes towards the door, only to see three boys about thirteen or fourteen years old in ancient costumes standing in a row, looking at them wistfully. The leader was a round-faced boy in a fancy blue robe, but full of anger, smiling coldly in the direction of the two, his eyes arrogant and disdainful.

The young man in huafu ¹walked up quickly, snatched the white steamed bun from Lu Ming’s hand, threw it hard on the ground, and lifted his foot and gave it a few fierce blows before he spoke to the young girl with a sly smile, “Fu Shu, you have come to bring food for this commoner again? I think you are tired of living today.”

The two boys behind him quickly scurried out and in a flash, they were in front of the girl called Fu Shu, reaching out and pulling her hair back.

Fu Shu was caught off guard, her body fell heavily to the ground, and her hair was torn loose. The intense pain made her scream, tears falling down her cheeks, crying while begging for mercy, “Second young master, Fu Shu never dares to do it again, please let me go!”

The young man in huafu snorted and said coldly, “This sick boy is already a ruined man, you still think about him all day long, you are also very infatuated.”

Lu Ming’s eyes were cold, one hand on the edge of the bed, wanting to get up to save the girl, but helplessly did not have enough strength. He barely got up from the bed, but a blackness swarmed in front of his eyes. The whip wounds all over his body were now severely torn open again. The pain was so intense that Lu Ming could not help but moan and groan.

Lu Ming held on to his shaky body, gritting his teeth and saying coldly, “Let go of her.”

The young man in huafu had a flash of surprise in his eyes, and only after a long time did he sneer, “I’ve never seen you plead for this bitch in normal times, but today is strange.”

As soon as the words left his mouth, he immediately turned his head toward the two teenagers and ordered, “Drag her out of here and wake up her brain.”

The two teenagers nodded and dragged Fu Shu out, and the ground was immediately covered with a long drag mark. In the process of struggling, Fu Shu’s forehead was scraped on the ground, and blood flowed down her cheeks, mixing with her tears, looking pitiful and horrible.

But the young man in huafu was not moved at all, looked at her with disgust and said, “Go get a bucket of water.”

Lu Ming’s heart suddenly seized, a bad feeling rushed to his heart. He hurriedly dragged his feeble feet to chase out, and as he expected, the huafu boy ordered someone to fetch water from the well, and then asked someone to press Fu Shu’s head into the water. He ignored Fu Shu’s struggle and wailing until she was about to die, before pulling her hair and lifting her out of the bucket again, over and over again, time after time.

Lu Ming was so anxious and angry by this cruel scene in front of him that he ran up to stop everything, but his legs went weak, his eyes went black, and he could no longer support his weak body, so he fell to the ground in a mess.

Seeing this, the young man in huafu threw back his head and laughed out loud, saying in derision, “Look at this, this is our He family’s once-in-a-century genius Artifact Refining master!”

A teenager next to him said disdainfully, “What genius Artifact Refining master? Now that his spiritual root has been destroyed, I’m afraid he can’t even beat ordinary people, let alone refine magic Artifacts. This kind of waste is still alive and lingering in the world, it’s a disgrace to our entire He family.”

The young man in huafu snorted coldly and came forward, stepped on the back of his hand, squatted down and came up to Lu Ming’s ear and laughed in a low voice. His somewhat childish cheeks were ruthless, incompatible with his age. He spoke viciously, “He Qingci, look at you now, you are worse than a dog. How does it feel to be a multivariate genius and suddenly fall into the abyss overnight?”

Lu Ming was sweating profusely from the pain on the back of his hand, so he bit his lip and swallowed his moan of pain. The painful moans were swallowed in his mouth, and a thin sweat broke out on his forehead. Lu Ming struggled to pull out the back of his hand, but the teenager stepped extremely heavy. He could not move at all. He clenched his fist and turned his face to the side, suddenly glancing at the ground not far from him, there was a thin piece of iron.

Lu Ming’s heart raced as he reached out his other hand, quickly grabbing the piece of iron. Using all of his strength, he went forward to bite in the teenager’s ear. While he was screaming in pain and struggling, Lu Ming hurriedly climbed up, and put the iron piece against the teenager’s carotid artery.

The young man in huafu was shocked and angry, reaching out to cover his bleeding ear, screaming in pain while roaring, “He Qingci! Let go of me!”

Lu Ming laughed coldly and put the iron blade on his neck and said, “Let her go, or this iron blade will cut your throat.”

The young man in huafu gritted his teeth and said, “Do you not want to live anymore? If my mother knew about this, she would never let you live!”

The corner of Lu Ming’s mouth was hooked, but his eyes were stern, “No matter, one life for one life, if you want to give up your life, I am willing to accompany you.”

The young man in huafu glanced at him with indignation and turned his head toward the young men who were at a loss and said, “Let her go first.”

The men did not dare to disobey, and hurriedly let go of Fu Shu, who had been tortured to the point of fainting, and stood looking at each other in the same place, not knowing what to do for a while.

Lu Ming said, “Tell them to strip naked, throw them all into the well, and get out.”

The young man in huafu was pinned down by Lu Ming and was afraid he would slit his own throat if he got excited. He had to swallow his anger and obey Lu Ming’s orders, telling the men to take off their clothes and throw themselves into the well.

“You do the same.”

The young man in huafu looked at Lu Ming incredulously, and the anger in his eyes intensified, “You dare!”
