The expressionless man stared blankly at the TV.

Xuyu did not know what her Young Master was thinking about, but she had a bad feeling that it was related to what her Young Master had watched.

It was better if the young master took a blind eye to it and won't care about the current issue today. However, it was very unlikely.

Lu Jin then went back to his bedroom.

Xuyu immediately went after Lu Jin.

"Young Master."

Lu Jin took Mr. Kang's coat to cover himself.? When Xuyu saw that the barely recovered Young Master was preparing to go out, she became anxious.

Could it be the Young Master was planning to help? If the Master, Ming Zhi Yi, managed to held the heirs and heiress of the four families by the throat like the news said, then this situation was more direr for their Young Master.

After all, the Young Master had betrayed Ming Zhi Yi.

"Young Master. Please think about it carefully. You are no match to Master in your current state. While Master had his hands full with the four families, it is better to use this opportunity to get far away from Master-"

Lu Jin cut her off, "Do you know why I stubbornly stayed in that chamber even I have to suffer endless torture?"

Xuyu bit her lips. She doesn't truly understand the reason why the Young Master wanted to come back in that hellhole multiple times in his injured state. If the Young Master come back, wasn't it the same as asking for death?

Was their Young Master really wanted death?

However, during these two months of Lu Jin's recuperating, they did not detect any suicide attempts from him. Perhaps, their Young Master had reasons that they could not comprehend.

Xuyu lowered her head in silence.

Lu Jin continued, "It's because I want to prevent my father from doing something more hideous."

Lu Jin took out a duffle bag under the bed. There were guns and grenade bombs inside the bag. These were all the weapons that Mr. Kang and Xuyu gathered in the past two months. They kept it here in case his father's men found this place.

"I have decided to go against him because I want to end this endless cycle of revenge and tragedy. It is enough for my family to be ruined. There's no need to create another me or another Ming Zhi Yi." He took a gun and pointed it out. Checking if his arm was still alright to fire a gun.

"My father is not well since ages ago. He tried to quell his anger and revenge through any means possible, but it did not heal him. Rather, it just made him crazier. He became person who lived his entire life with madness."

Lu Jin put down the gun. His dark eyes had deep emotion of regret and condemnation. "And I watched him sunk deeper into hell. Instead of helping, I joined him. This was a mess that my father and I created. So I need to be there to end it."

The room was silent. Only the sound of Lu Jin's cold voice and the sound of guns clicking could be heard.

Xuyu stared at the sturdy back of her Young Master.

Family matters, complicated relationships and complex emotions- these things were all hard to decipher for a servant and orphan like her. If she was the Young Master, she would ran away and let the flow of the world continue as it was.

Ming Zhi Yi and the four families...for her, they were all just the same. They were strong people who needed to dominate one another. Only one of them had to come out as a winner. After some time passes, another Mng Zhi Yi will come out, or another four families would be born.

This was a natural phenomenon that wasn't worth her Young Master's life to risk for.

"Young Master, I am just a servant and I don't completely understand the world of Masters. However, if you go like this....you won't change anything. You'll just die during the fight. Master is strong-"

"I am not going after my father alone." Lu Jin's eyes seemed far away. "I know my limit. If I am brave and confident enough, I would have stopped my father long ago. But I did not. I can't do that alone. But now, there are people who I believe could stop father."

Lu Jin then turned to her.

For the first time, Xuyu saw a subtle movement on the corner of Lu Jin's lips. Even though his eyes held emotions that were hard to decipher, he seemed to be smiling, "Thank you for being loyal to me until now. If there is next life, I hope I will be able to pay you for the debt of saving my life. From now on, please live your life the way you want, Xuyu. Please tell this to Mr. Kang as well."

These words were the same as freeing Xuyu and Mr. Kang of their service.

Xuyu teared up. She was not a sentimental person. But she knew that she had served a great Master. "Young Master, you don't have to pay me back. Just live."

Lu Jin was silent. He was about to go out of the room when Xuyu called out again. "Master, is there really no way for you to just stay back and let all of this go?"

"No."

Lu Jin's eyes were determined. He had already told her his reason.

Xuyu bit her lips. "Alright, since that's what Young Master wants, then I guessed had no choice but to help Young Master for last time. Please let me help."

Lu Jin deliberated for a while then nodded. "Alright, can you help me contact a person?"

.....

The dawn arrived. A sign that the night had passed and another day was born.

However, in the dark mansion, the shadow of that night froze the whole place and stuck the people inside in endless torture. The place was filled with cries and agony.

Slash!

Blood splattered as Ming Zhi Yi made a long cut in Guan Gu Ri's flawless face.

Ming Zhi Yi was smiling like a madman as his hand was stained with blood. His handsome figure was distorted with a crazed expression on his face.. As more blood spilled, the delight in his eyes turned even brighter.
