Born as a space beast, Shi Chu possessed a strong sense of self-preservation and was inherently selfish. She revelled in luxury, indulging in fine food and clothing. She rejected phrases like “su...
Chapter 403: The Fiancé ran off with the most beautiful woman in the world (28)
"I'm fine, how about you?" Shu Shichu looked at him and asked.
Mu Changqing smiled immediately after hearing this: "Rongrong, are you worried about me?"
"I'm not worried about you, I'm worried about the killers who are out to kill you!" Shu Shichu rolled her eyes. This man was getting more and more demanding. He used to call her "Miss Zhan", then "Miss Rong", and now he shamelessly calls her "Rongrong". However, Shu Shichu did not expose him, after all, it was just a name.
Mu Zhangqing still smiled charmingly, and said to himself: "I know Rongrong has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She definitely cares about me, but she just doesn't feel comfortable saying it directly."
Shu Shichu snorted, "Don't flatter yourself. Let me ask you, what organization do these killers belong to? Why are they chasing Xiao Yihan and his gang? Who did Xiao Yihan and his gang offend that made them send so many experts to kill them?"
Mu Changqing smiled and said, "You think highly of me, asking me so many secret things."
"Humph, don't think I don't know how many messages you have received via carrier pigeons today!" Shu Shichu glanced at him. This guy didn't even try to hide the fact that he was receiving the messages sent by his subordinates. Wasn't he just waiting for her to ask questions out of curiosity?
Mu Changqing stopped teasing her and answered directly, "These killers probably came from a sect called the Against the Heaven Sect. Xiao Yihan's group seemed to have snatched something very precious from them, which led to the Against the Heaven Sect chasing them. The few people who came to kill them during the day were also from the Against the Heaven Sect."
"Nitian Sect?" Shu Shichu was immediately shocked when he heard the name. Isn't this the largest group opposing the protagonists, the Nitian Sect? From the name, we can know that this sect is stirring up trouble in the martial arts world under the name of defying the heaven and changing fate.
The original owner of this body was a young lady who only knew that her fiancé had broken off the engagement with her for the most beautiful woman in the martial arts world. She did not know the specific things happening in the martial arts world. In the plot outline of the world, it only said how the Anti-Heaven Cult opposed the protagonists, but did not explain in detail why the Anti-Heaven Cult opposed the protagonists, and what methods they used to oppose them. It only said that in the end, good prevailed over evil, and the Anti-Heaven Cult was successfully destroyed by the protagonists.
Therefore, Shu Shichu didn't know what treasure Xiao Yihan and the others had robbed from the Ni Tian Sect at first.
"What treasure from the Nitian Sect was snatched away by Xiao Yihan and his group?" Shu Shichu asked Mu Changqing with sparkling eyes.
Mu Changqing couldn't help but reach out and touch her eyes, causing her to close her eyes involuntarily. She slapped his hand away and glared at him angrily.
Seeing her cute angry look, Mu Changqing felt better, but he didn't dare to really irritate her, so he quickly said, "I don't know either. They attach great importance to confidentiality, and it will be difficult for my people to find out for a while."
Shu Shichu wanted to say something, but was suddenly interrupted by a panicked, fragile and pitiful female voice: "Master Mu? Master Mu, where are you? Can you help us? Brother Xiao and the others can't hold on any longer... Please, Master Mu, lend a hand..."
It was Le Wanrou's voice. Shu Shichu immediately showed an expression of watching a good show. He raised his eyebrows and crossed his shoulders as he looked at Mu Changqing, saying in a sarcastic tone: "Oh, a beauty is calling you to be a hero. Hurry up and seize the opportunity to be a hero and save the beauty. Maybe the beauty will be so moved that she will marry you."
Mu Changqing looked at her dimly and said, "I am now the guardian angel of you, the beauty. I cannot save other beauties." After saying that, he actually stood in front of Shu Shichu, staring at her intently, as if he was really Shu Shichu's loyal guardian angel.
"Who wants you to protect me? I can protect myself." Shu Shichu sneered.
"I just want to protect you. What do other people have to do with me? I'm not a Buddhist who saves all living beings. I have to save everyone, and they will be fine." Mu Changqing said with a heart of stone. Shu Shichu thought to himself, no wonder people in the world say that he is both good and evil. Although he has a great reputation and is very popular, it seems that he is not a saint-father type of hero.
Since he was unwilling to save her, Shu Shichu would not force him. After all, she herself did not have high moral standards, so how could she demand that of others?
So the two of them really just stood by and watched the fighting next door. Shu Shichu was not worried at all. After all, the protagonist's halo would definitely work, and none of them would die.
But they couldn't just ignore the situation, because Le Wanrou failed to call Mu Changqing out for help, so she began to fight the killer with difficulty while running around the inn, trying to find Mu Changqing.
Her protagonist halo was effective again, because she successfully found Shu Shichu's room. Through the unclosed door, she saw Mu Changqing and Shu Shichu who were drinking tea leisurely. The two of them were so leisurely that it seemed as if they were from two different spaces from the ones who were being hunted. Le Wanrou was stunned for a moment.
"Master Mu, Miss Zhan, why are you here? Didn't you hear someone killing someone outside? Why don't you come out to help?" Le Wanrou was being chased by several killers. If it weren't for her strong protagonist halo, she either happened to avoid the killer's sword, or the killer somehow failed... She would have died long ago, so how could she still fight the killer with her mediocre skills?
Although she was able to avoid the fate of being killed, she truly felt the thrill of this period, so when she saw these two people, each more leisurely than the other, running around, she almost collapsed, and her tone of voice couldn't help but carry a hint of questioning.
"Because you can deal with these killers, you don't need our help." Shu Shichu said lightly.
When Le Wanrou heard her words, she couldn't help but said angrily: "How can you tell that we don't need help? You just want to watch us die without helping us, right? You are so cruel!"
She had always been displeased with Shu Shichu, who was treated particularly well by Mu Changqing. After hearing her words, she became even more hostile to her. She felt that Shu Shichu was jealous of her and wanted her to be killed by these people. He was a vicious person.
Shu Shichu didn't pay any attention to her reprimand. Instead, he looked at the two assassins who couldn't kill her no matter what. He said to Mu Changqing, "What do you think of Le Wanrou's skills? Is she a match for those two assassins?"
Mu Changqing now realized that Le Wanrou seemed to have particularly good luck, because the two killers were obviously much stronger than Le Wanrou in martial arts, and their moves were also very sharp, but for some reason, when they attacked Le Wanrou, either their swords were slanted or their feet slipped, making the killing moves ineffective. Le Wanrou was able to avoid them every time. It was precisely because of her bizarre "good luck" that she had the energy to talk to Shu Shichu even when being chased by the two killers.
"Her skills are not that good. Those two killers are much stronger than her, but she manages to escape danger every time. Is she - too lucky?" Mu Changqing was puzzled.
"This is the halo of the girl of destiny!" Shu Shichu said meaningfully, "She is the one favored by God."
Mu Changqing narrowed his eyes immediately, restraining the brilliance in them.
