Watching helplessly as Murong Fu embraced Kong Ci,
Qin Shuang, Nie Feng, and Bu Jingyun could do nothing about it.
Kong Ci cried out in alarm, "Young Master, I..."
The next moment.
Murong Fu released her and said calmly, "Come to my room tonight. I have something to discuss with you in detail."
"..."
Kong Ci gave an awkward laugh, not daring to refute.
Bu Jingyun clenched his fists, veins bulging on his forehead, and muttered, "Kong Ci, don't go..."
Xiong Ba naturally heard this, and with a stern face, he said loudly, "Shuang'er, Feng'er, Yun'er, you all take people to repair the main hall and finish it as soon as possible!"
"Yes, Master!"
Although they were extremely unwilling, they had no choice but to obey orders.
It was evening.
The back mountain.
Lakeside Cottage
The place is called Xiaozhu, but it is actually a cluster of buildings, pavilions, and waterside terraces, which are beautiful to behold.
"Young master, ladies, please try the tea brewed by You Ruo. It is a special Maojian tea from Tianshan Mountain. I hope you like it."
You Ruozhen was like a secluded orchid in a valley, with a faint fragrance of orchids emanating from her, and her smile was as sweet as a flower.
Murong Fu picked up the teacup, sniffed it lightly, took a sip, and said in surprise, "There's no sleeping potion or poison in it. I'm not used to this taste."
Youruo's heart pounded, and she said with an awkward laugh, "Young master is too kind. How could I dare?"
"Heh—I hope you don't dare."
Murong Fu glanced at her long fingernails, where wisps of dust were caught between them.
If it were an ordinary martial artist, they would never know how they died.
Whoosh!
Miejue suddenly drew her sword and held it against You Ruo's neck, coldly saying, "Husband, this woman has impure intentions, why not kill her?"
You Ruo trembled all over, her neck stung, and blood was already seeping out.
Murong Fu continued sipping his tea and said calmly, "We are civilized people. How can we keep talking about fighting and killing? Just cripple him."
Zhou Zhiruo immediately flicked her finger, and a burst of primordial energy struck You Ruo's dantian.
puff!
You Ruo spat out blood, her eyes wide with shock.
His mastery of the Grandmaster realm vanished just like that!
Looking at the tea on the table, Murong Fu said regretfully, "It was originally excellent tea, but it has been tainted by blood."
Click—
A sound of shattering porcelain came from the doorway.
I turned my head to look.
Kong Ci hurriedly squatted down to clean up the broken bowls and chopsticks, with food spilled all over the floor.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. My hand slipped. There's still food in the kitchen. I'll go and prepare another serving right away."
She hurriedly explained as she tidied up.
Murong Fu laughed and said, "Is there poison in the food? I can't stand food without poison. It has to be a strong poison to be truly delicious."
Upon hearing this, Kong Ci panicked and accidentally cut her finger on a shard of porcelain, causing it to bleed. She cried out in surprise, "Ah!"
When his blood dripped onto food residue, it actually started to steam.
She plopped down on the ground, on the verge of tears.
"Kong Ci!"
Bu Jingyun appeared out of nowhere, standing protectively in front of Kong Ci, his eyes fixed intently on Murong Fu and the other two.
"Kong Ci, are you alright?"
Qin Shuang and Nie Feng also rushed out, standing guard on either side like protectors.
Kong Ci's eyes reddened and tears welled up, a sight that evoked pity in me.
Murong Fu didn't look at them, but instead smiled and said, "Chief Xiong, is this your way of treating guests?"
"presumptuous!"
Xiong Ba's voice was like a tiger or a leopard, roaring through the mountains and forests, and echoing like a dragon's cry, causing the entire back mountain to tremble.
"Kong Ci? Who gave you permission to poison the food?"
Xiong Ba descended from the sky, glaring at Kong Ci with a fierce look, and rebuked her, "I have always regarded you as my own daughter since childhood. When have I ever forced you to do anything? Today, I only asked you to entertain Young Master Li, and you have disappointed me so much!"
"And you too! You Ruo!"
Xiong Ba looked at the slumped You Ruo and said, "You are my own daughter. Do you know that Young Master Li is my most important guest? Why did you do such a foolish thing?"
"And you too! Wind! Cloud! Frost!"
"You have all disappointed your master greatly!"
"Kong Ci is a traitor, and you're still protecting her?"
"Are you trying to drive your master to his death?"
Xiong Ba unleashed a torrent of abuse, berating his adopted daughter, biological daughter, and three disciples. Still not satisfied, he continued, "Kneel down before me! Apologize to Young Master Li!"
Bu Jingyun clenched his fists and said indignantly, "Master! It was clearly him who bullied Kong Ci!"
"Didn't you hear what I said? I told you to kneel down!"
Xiong Ba stared coldly at Bu Jingyun, as if he were about to forcibly take him down at any moment.
"Junior Brother Bu..."
Qin Shuang was the first to kneel down, and then tugged at Bu Jingyun's sleeve.
Bu Jingyun took a deep breath and could only slowly kneel down.
Nie Feng had no choice but to kneel down as well.
“Say sorry!” Xiong Ba continued.
"sorry……"
The three were unconvinced, but could only speak in hushed tones.
Murong Fu turned to Miejue and said, "Madam, are people talking outside? I heard a commotion."
Extinction replied, "No, I only heard dogs barking. There are probably many dogs on the mountain."
Zhou Zhiruo also said, "Zhiruo only heard the dog barking, and it was barking quite fiercely."
A brief conversation.
Ling Xiong's domineering aura was immediately apparent.
Xiong Ba coldly said, "You three traitors! Kneel before me until dawn! Kneel until Young Master Li forgives you!"
Having said that, he transformed into a beam of light and disappeared.
