"I'm not skilled at dying. How about you give me a demonstration first?"
"Practice makes perfect. If you die a few more times, you'll get used to it."
"This is something one can get used to by dying repeatedly? What, you've done so many wicked things that you haven't died much, is that it?"
"When it comes to wickedness, who can compare to you Tang family members? You get nothing good, and it's a loss for you if you don't do evil deeds!"
"Heh heh heh, the Miao people dare to say that? Aren't you afraid the wind will blow and twist your tongue?"
"The wind can't penetrate the Tang family's thick skin, so your tongue won't be twisted. Why bother waiting for the wind? How about I pull it out for you right now?"
"Try it if you dare! See who ends up losing their tongue!"
"Then let's see! Come on! Do you think I'm afraid of you!"
"Come on!"
The voices of the two young people grew louder, and just as they were about to fight, passengers began to emerge one after another.
"Er Ya, Miao Tong!" As soon as Xia Qingtian came out, she saw the two people waiting for her about to fight and quickly called out to them.
Er Ya and Miao Tong heard Xia Qingtian's voice and turned to look at her simultaneously. Their eyes lit up: "Qingtian!"
As Xia Qingtian approached, Er Ya gave her a big hug and said, "Qingtian, you could have just called me alone to pick you up. Why did you call him? Miao people are the most detestable! Just looking at him makes me feel unlucky!"
"Qingtian, you should find reliable people for things like picking up arrivals. Why are you looking for this jinx? It's so inauspicious." Miao Tong glared at Er Ya before turning to Xia Qingtian and continuing, "My parents are very happy to know you've come to Kyoto. They specifically asked me to pick you up and host you well at the Miao family's place."
"Bah, bah, bah! What kind of garbage place is the Miao family? It's just bugs and more bugs, disgusting and creepy." Er Ya snorted and said, "Qingtian, don't listen to him. Come with me. Da Ya and the others are very happy to know you've arrived. They've both almost fully recovered and want to thank you in person!"
"Heh, it's either Da Ya or Er Ya. Are the branches of your Tang family so casual with their names?" Miao Tong pointed at Er Ya's face and taunted, "Then why don't you just name yourselves Kitty or Puppy!"
Er Ya narrowed her eyes slightly and, without any hesitation, bit Miao Tong's hand directly: "Ah!"
"Ow, ow, ow!" Miao Tong shook her hand several times before Er Ya let go: "Tang, you dog!"
"Hmph! If it weren't for my family's Xia Shang, I would have bitten off your fingers! See if you dare to mock us again!" Er Ya warned, shaking her small fists.
"You!" Miao Tong's eyes widened: "If it weren't for my brother's sake, I would have..."
"Let's stop, stop~" Xia Qingtian quickly pulled them apart and said, "I'm not here in Kyoto for fun this time. I asked you two to pick me up because there's something important. Put aside the feud between your families for now, and let me settle my score first!"
"Revenge? What kind of grudge?" Er Ya asked curiously, holding Xia Qingtian's arm with her big, watery eyes.
"Hmm? Is there some excitement? How can I be absent?" Miao Tong also became interested: "Tell me, who are we getting revenge on!"
"The Lei family, Lei Hexuan." Xia Qingtian's gaze deepened as she said coldly.
On the way from the airport to the Lei family's residence by car, Xia Qingtian explained the entire situation to Miao Tong and Er Ya: "This justice must be sought."
"Leave it to me!" Er Ya patted her chest resolutely and said, "This Lei family is too overbearing. I'll poison their entire family!"
"Lei family..." Miao Tong knew the implications better than Er Ya. However, after only a moment's hesitation, she nodded and said, "I've always admired that kid Shi Xingwu. I'll help with this."
Although he had been beaten up by Shi Xingwu back then, it was because he had spoken too carelessly. Moreover, he and Shi Xingwu had become acquainted through their fight.
Their time together had been quite pleasant. He knew that kid was a warm and cheerful young man who didn't deserve such a misfortune.
Since Young Master Lei III was at fault first, it was normal for Xia Qingtian to seek justice.
"However, let's forget about causing any deaths. After all, it's a society governed by law, and novels still need to pass censorship." Miao Tong smacked her lips and said, "Let's go and see the Lei family's attitude first."
"That's my thought as well," Xia Qingtian nodded. She had come this time to seek justice for Shi Xingwu. Unless absolutely necessary, she didn't want to resort to force.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have asked Miao Tong and Er Ya; asking Wen Jiu would have been more convenient.
The car stopped at the main entrance of the Lei family, and the three of them got out.
Young Master Lei III knew that Xia Qingtian would be coming today but didn't expect her to arrive so early.
"Sister Qingtian!" Lei Xirui, who was dining in the restaurant, looked pale with dark circles under her eyes, clearly indicating she had been consumed by grief and resentment all night and hadn't slept.
Upon seeing Xia Qingtian, Lei Xirui was about to rush over, but the bodyguard behind her held her shoulders and pushed down, forcing Lei Xirui back into her chair.
Young Master Lei III letting Lei Xirui dine in the restaurant was already a great favor. At this moment, he would not allow her to act recklessly again.
Seeing Lei Xirui, Xia Qingtian felt a bit more at ease. She first nodded at Lei Xirui, then looked at Young Master Lei III: "Young Master Lei III, it's been a while."
"No need for these pleasantries." Young Master Lei III snapped his fingers, and someone brought a check to Xia Qingtian.
Xia Qingtian glanced at it and saw the amount written in large characters: ten million. Xia Qingtian didn't take it, and her gaze turned even colder.
"This was an accident, but I will take responsibility for my part," Young Master Lei III said to Xia Qingtian. "Please accept it."
"In Young Master Lei III's eyes, ten million can settle this matter?" Xia Qingtian's hands clenched into fists at her sides, a surge of anger rising within her.
"Otherwise?" Young Master Lei III raised an eyebrow at Xia Qingtian.
The gun wasn't fired by his people. Even if that kid died, he didn't kill him.
The fact that he was willing to offer ten million was purely out of consideration for Lei Xirui.
According to his subordinate's report, that kid treated Lei Xirui well, but he didn't know what his intentions were.
The fault wasn't his. Offering ten million was already the utmost kindness he could show.
If it were up to him, he wouldn't have met Xia Qingtian today at all.
He hated Xia Qingtian the most.
If Xia Qingtian wanted to use this matter to extort the treasure map from him, she had miscalculated.
Problems that could be solved with money were never problems.
Moreover, the fault wasn't his.
The words "Otherwise?" completely ignited Xia Qingtian's anger: "Young Master Lei III, please take back this ten million."
"What? You think it's too little?" Young Master Lei III raised his eyebrows, thinking Xia Qingtian was indeed greedy.
"That's right," Xia Qingtian said coldly. "To buy Shi Xingwu's life, it's too little.
To buy Young Master Lei III's life, it's just right!"
