Chapter 754: I’m So Sad
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After Xie Pinggang returned home, he rested directly.
The steward relayed Xie Pinggang’s words to Xie Qiao. When she heard it, she agreed very straightforwardly.
“Tell Xi’er so that she won’t worry.” After saying that, Xie Qiao packed her things and stayed at the Fortune Pavilion.
These few days, she had to keep a low profile so that her foolish brother would despair for a few more days.
She did not feel guilty at all for lying to her brother.
In this family, it was either you bully me or I bully you. He just had to get used to it. Even for her, was she not often angered by her eldest brother?
The person at the bottom of the food chain was her brother. There was nothing she could do about it, right?
Moreover, she had made a mistake. How could there really be no punishment?

Xie Qiao moved out overnight.
Xie Pinghuai struggled outside the city.
His body was strong. After eating some food, he started to walk with some strength. However, he could not tell the direction, so he kept walking in circles. It was midnight when he saw the main road.
However, he could not tell the north from the south. He did not know where to go, so he entered the city.
He suddenly regretted not studying properly.
Teacher Xiao once said that one could tell the direction by looking at the stars, but he did not listen to him…
In the future, he would definitely study hard and be stronger than anyone else. In the future, when he became an official, he would make his eldest brother kneel before him!
He was angry, and he unleashed his ambition. However, it was extinguished in a short while.
No matter what, eldest sister would not be able to return. Moreover… he was only thinking about it now. He was much younger than his eldest brother. It was indeed very difficult for him to win against his eldest brother.
He raised his head and looked at the sky. His heart was filled with resentment and confusion.
The surroundings were pitch-black and quiet. It was very frightening, but it was still better than staying in the forest. He simply sat there and waited.
He knew that the people from the surrounding villages and small towns would rush into the city before dawn, so he only needed to rest well for a few hours before there were pedestrians.
To him, the outside world was actually not as scary as the inside of a coffin.
It was just that he could not sleep.
He thought about it a lot.
After he calmed down, he finally understood what Teacher Xiao meant when he told him the truth in the past.
Teacher Xiao always said that it was better to rely on himself than his father and brother. At that time, he thought his father and brother were very powerful, so why did he need to rely on himself? It was too tiring!
Also, eldest sister had worked hard to make him acknowledge her as his teacher. She got him a teacher in liberal arts and a martial arts instructor. They wanted him to fight for his reputation. If he had been obedient in the past, he would have been slightly more capable now. He would not be so useless, he would be a joke to Xie Pinggang.

Time passed by slowly. When it was almost dawn, there were indeed many villagers hurrying on their way.
He got the direction and headed toward the city.
There were indeed no problems along the way.
It was just that he walked slowly. When he reached home, it was already noon.
When the steward saw him, he seemed to be surprised for a moment. Then, it was as if nothing had happened. Just like before, he served him food and drinks.
However, it was different! Eldest sister was no longer around, how could it be the same as before?!
He could not smile anymore. He cleaned up himself and put some ointment on his body. He should not be practising martial arts at this moment. He thought about it and obediently stayed in his room to read the books that Teacher Xiao had arranged for him.
The steward thought the sun had risen from the west.
In the past, it was as if he had to rush the second young master to death to get him to study and practise martial arts. He had to rush him constantly!
Today, his body had not recovered yet. He was still weak, but he was actually reading obediently?!
The plan actually work?
The entire Xie family was stunned.
Even Xie Xi, who was waiting for him at home, was the same. With a pair of clear eyes, she stood in front of the window. “Second Brother, what’s wrong? Do you want some pastries?”
“What pastries? I can’t eat them.” Xie Pinghuai’s tears fell.. “Xi’er, I’m so sad that Eldest Sister is gone.”
