The horse sensed the imposing aura and moved uneasily.
Su Jin dismounted from her horse, her heart also filled with rage. "It was I who saved Mai Zizi, otherwise you would already be seeing a corpse."
"Does saving her cover up the fact that you hurt her?" Shen Xi roared, her anger reaching its peak.
When he saw Maizizi unconscious, his heart ached so much he could hardly breathe.
He already knew the whole story; Su Jin was undoubtedly the murderer, so what excuse did she have?
"I didn't do it!"
Who is that?
“Zhou Ji!” Su Jin bluntly revealed the mastermind behind it all.
However, Shen Xi seemed to have heard a huge joke, "Your ability to make wild accusations is getting better and better!"
Su Jin knew immediately that no one would believe her if she said it aloud. "What do you want? To kill me?"
"You think I wouldn't dare!" Shen Xi was increasingly enraged by Su Jin's arrogance and lack of remorse.
Su Jinxia showed no fear whatsoever, her gaze remaining unchanged.
Shen Xi gripped the sword tightly, her eyes narrowing. "I know, even if you stabbed the young master in the heart, let alone hurt Zizi, he might not be willing to kill you. That's why you're so fearless!"
"But today's conflict is between you and me, and has nothing to do with you, young master!"
Su Jin scoffed, "What grudge do you have against me? If there is, it's between me and Mai Zizi. What does it have to do with you?"
The past...
His eyes darted away for a moment, but then became even more determined, "I like her!"
"I will not allow anyone to hurt her, nor will I allow those who hurt her to go unpunished!"
Shen Xi never dared to admit his feelings because Mai Zizi was a high-class lady, while he was just a subordinate who worked hard in all kinds of weather. Mai Zizi loved the elegant and refined Shen Qianxue, while he only knew how to kill!
But today, he said that he liked that willful and domineering girl who always beat him. He liked seeing her carefree appearance and her always smiling eyes.
But now, it's all gone, and she can only lie in bed, motionless.
Lu Ming stuck so many needles into her head, but she didn't even flinch. She's clearly so afraid of pain...
Shen Xi's eyes grew increasingly fierce, his gaze turning blood red.
Suddenly, his aura surged, and he drew his longsword, thrusting it straight down at Su Jin with incredible speed.
Su Jin hurriedly leaped off her horse to dodge Shen Xi's attack.
Shen Xi turned around, unleashing a fierce sword technique.
Shen Xi is the top expert of Phoenix Pavilion. Even Shen Qianxue's skill may not be comparable to his. Su Jinxia was in a very sorry state.
Suddenly, Shen Xi flashed behind Su Jin and thrust his sword straight at her.
Su Jin barely managed to turn sideways and dodge the longsword.
However, Shen Xi used his other hand to channel his internal energy and struck Su Jin's back with a palm.
Su Jin spat out a mouthful of blood and flew several meters away.
Shen Xi frowned, pointing his sword directly at Su Jin, and roared, "Stop dodging! Use your full strength!"
Although Su Jinxia was injured, she didn't even make a move!
Su Jin swallowed the churning in her throat, leaned against a nearby tree trunk to stand up, took several deep breaths, and finally managed to speak.
"I didn't hurt Mai Zizi, and I don't want to fight you."
“I am willing to take this slap from you, because Mai Zizi was injured because of me. Someone wants to use her to deal with me.”
Shen Xi's brows furrowed even more deeply. "Stop making excuses. I won't be fooled by you."
If someone wants to deal with Su Jinxia, what will happen to Su Jinxia?
Su Jin was not harmed at all, and instead captured Fan Ping without losing a single soldier.
Who would believe that someone is targeting her?
Su Jin closed her eyes helplessly and said angrily, "Have you ever thought that if it wasn't me, then it was someone else? And Mai Zizi knows the truth. As long as Zizi wakes up, the truth will come out!"
"If you were the one who hurt Mai Zizi, how would you feel now?"
Shen Xi's heart skipped a beat. If it were him, he would definitely silence her and make sure that Mai Zizi would never tell the truth!
A look of panic appeared on Shen Xi's face.
Su Jinxia knew that Shen Xi understood, and said speechlessly, "Why aren't you protecting Mai Zizi and instead coming to fight me? If you really want to avenge her, then wait until she's dead before you come. Then I'll definitely fight you to the death!"
Shen Xi clenched his fists and stared intently at Su Jinxia. In the end, without Shen Qianxue's consent, Shen Xi dared not actually kill Su Jinxia.
Moreover, he was also afraid of killing the wrong person.
I traveled a long way through wind and dust to make this trip because I was angry.
Su Jin's attitude had already dispelled most of Shen Xi's emotions.
"You'd better pray that Zizi wakes up, otherwise, whether you set this up or not, I won't let you off the hook!" Shen Xi said ruthlessly, sheathed his sword, mounted his horse, and galloped away.
Su Jin down...
"That's my horse!"
...
Without his horse, Su Jin had no choice but to walk back to Tianyang City once again.
Shen Xi rushed back to Yuchuan and went to check on Mai Zizi. Lu Ming was giving Mai Zizi acupuncture.
Shen Xi breathed a sigh of relief before arriving at Shen Qianxue's room.
Shen Qianxue went to the military camp and is not there.
Chen Xi then waited.
It wasn't until nightfall that Shen Qianxue returned to her room. As soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw Shen Xi kneeling in front of the door.
Shen Qianxue was not surprised, as someone had already informed him.
"You hurt her?" Shen Qianxue asked softly, her voice seemingly questioning but actually conveying certainty and a hint of danger.
Shen Xi took a deep breath, then suddenly channeled his inner strength and struck his own chest with a palm.
