Chapter 261 On the matter of connections, how to handle it
"Keep your dog under control."
After the high-five, Huali turned her head back and said, "I've come today for three things."
"First, you and your two arrogant lackeys should apologize to Wanwan!"
"Secondly, I take responsibility for your reckless actions today that nearly caused a major disaster, and promise never to use this method again."
Bingyue's face paled slightly, but she quickly composed herself. Her voice was cold, "Fellow Daoist, you are mistaken. People can say whatever they want; how can I stop them?"
“My two junior sisters are straightforward and outspoken, and their words may have been inappropriate. I have already privately reprimanded them. As for what happened today, since I was able to do it, I naturally have a way to take it back.”
"But you, fellow cultivator, attacked and injured people without asking any questions. All the fellow cultivators present saw it. What? Just because you have the Spirit Sword Sect backing you up, you think you can bully the weak like this?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Wanwan was so angry that her eyebrows stood on end and her almond-shaped eyes widened!
With such a huge accusation leveled against her, even someone as oblivious as her would realize something was wrong. She pointed at Bingyue and stammered "You...you..." for a long time, but couldn't think of a more powerful rebuttal to tear apart Bingyue's words.
A dark glint flashed in Bingyue's eyes.
Just when she thought she had turned the tables, Huali clicked her tongue in extreme impatience.
"Yes, you're right."
"I've already come to their doorstep, what else could it be but relying on my high cultivation level?" she asked, looking puzzled.
"Besides, these days it's all about connections. So what if I'm backed by the Spirit Sword Sect? Didn't you only get the 'Fairy' title because of your father's name?!"
Huali waved her hand, and her increasingly refined spiritual power shot straight towards Bingyue, transforming her fairy dress into a wasteland style before she could even react.
"One word: Apologize or not?!"
"You've gone too far..." Before Nongxiao could even open his mouth, Tang Wanwan slapped him twice, sending him rolling to Biyao's side to keep her company.
Bingyue stared at Huali in shock, her fingers gripping the railing tightening unconsciously.
Judging from Karin's strength in the Dream Sequel, she is no match for her at all.
In the midst of the chaos, Bingyue's gaze, as if grasping at a straw, suddenly fell upon Shen Yu behind Huali.
She frowned and said coldly, "Chen Yu, are you just going to stand by and watch her treat me like this?"
Ao Bai, who was enjoying Mo Ziyan's massage, looked up and said, "Wow, what are you saying... are you two very familiar with each other?"
Shen Yu didn't even lift his eyelids, as if the other person was a wisp of polluted air, not worthy of the young general's attention.
Bingyue's eyes were filled with resentment, "Our Yin Sect and your Canglan Sect still have cooperation, are you just going to stand by and watch us die?"
When Huali discovered Bingyue, her thought process was truly indescribable.
She and Yang Liu should belong to the same type.
You could say she's bad, but she's not entirely bad either; she's definitely not a good person either.
This is a world of cultivation, why are we still playing palace intrigue games? Does the young master look like the kind of person who can't see things clearly?
Sure enough, Shen Yu moved the next second.
He tilted his head very slightly, and for the first time, his clear, amber eyes fell on Bingyue.
His gaze was devoid of warmth, carrying only a condescending indifference, and an undisguised disgust and mockery. "Who are you?"
Bingyue: "!!!"
Once, twice, and a third time. Her eyes widened. "Shen Yu, you did this on purpose!"
Shen Yu stepped forward, his red outfit highlighting his tall and straight figure. The imposing aura he exuded at that moment was a noble and composed quality that others could not match.
He stopped a step behind Huali, "It seems the Lingyin Sect didn't teach you..." His tone was still as sharp as an icy spring, but it was like an ice bead falling onto a jade plate, "What do you mean by... bringing shame upon yourself?"
Bingyue's face turned from white to green.
Seeing that Shen Yu was about to speak again, the onlookers were eager to see what other words this man with his sharp tongue could say that would kill someone. However, the young general from Canglan Prefecture, whose words were as sharp as knives, bent down as if no one else was around.
Extending her slender fingers, she gently brushed the hem of her rosewood dress.
There, a tiny speck of dust remained, kicked up by the two people as they landed.
While her words were sharp and cutting, she bent down to straighten her skirt. Shen Yu's attitude couldn't be clearer.
Bingyue felt a metallic taste in her throat and was so angry that she vomited blood.
When Huali bent down to adjust her skirt, their eyes met, and a silent understanding flashed between them.
As expected of the young master, he's too respectful in front of outsiders.
Karin turned back, her gaze still cold. "I'll ask you one last time: apologize or fight?"
Bingyue's face was ashen, yet she remained silent.
If she had known it would turn out this way, she would never have gone out. Even leading them to a secluded, deserted place would have been better than this public execution.
The immense humiliation and the instinct for survival drove Bingyue's broken mind to work at lightning speed; surely someone could help her!
The next moment—
Her gaze suddenly fixed on the second-floor railing!
The Witch Clan?!
The Witch Clan has long secluded itself from the world, yet it remains mysterious, powerful, and self-contained. If they were willing to speak, even just to say "this is the end," things could take a turn for the better.
This thought, like a lightning bolt in the darkness, instantly ignited Bingyue's last hope. She even ignored the complex and indescribable look in their eyes when they looked at Huali.
"Fellow Daoist of the Witch Clan!"
Bingyue took a deep breath, her voice cold and clear, "I have heard that the Witch Clan is the most just and righteous. I beg you to uphold justice for Bingyue, considering that we are both on the righteous path and help each other."
She spread her arms out and then closed them, making a gesture of waiting.
Because of this statement, onlookers turned their attention to Zhan Li and Fen Yu on the second floor.
"Aren't those the two princes of the Witch Clan? Their pupil techniques are unmatched in the world. This is going to be a good show."
"The hero saves the damsel in distress; it's a show you can watch over and over again."
Upon being suddenly called out, Zhan Li Fen Yu was stunned for a moment, and actually walked all the way down from the second floor.
As they approached her, Bingyue's heart leaped into her throat.
This situation can be broken; there is still a chance for survival!
As the two passed by the railing, Bingyue subconsciously hid the burned hem of her skirt behind her back, revealing a cold and delicate expression.
However!
Fen Yu and Zhan Li walked past her without blinking, as if passing through a void!
Bingyue's smile froze like a lake, and she abruptly turned her head.
Why? Weren't they here to help? Where are they going?
To her astonishment, Zhan Li and Fen Yu finally stopped three steps away from Hua Li.
The two men faced the token in Huali's hand, bowed their heads and clasped their hands in greeting.
"With Xuanji's command issued, the Wu Clan shall slay Li/Fenyu and await orders."
