While Chu Qinghe was in a good mood, Xu Changzhi's expression was not so good; he was practically grinding his teeth to powder.
But you can imagine how Xu Changzhi's expression was when he was mocked and ridiculed like that by Lianxing and Qu Feiyan in front of so many people.
However, Xu Changzhi couldn't find a reason to refute what Lianxing and Qu Feiyan said.
After a few breaths, Xu Changzhi took a deep breath and stepped forward, opening his mouth: "At my Beggars' Sect's assembly, young lady, you're relying on your strength to intimidate others. Isn't that a bit too arrogant?"
Lianxing sneered, "A mere first-rate power, does it even deserve to be noticed by this young lady?"
Finally, before Xu Changzhi could speak, Lianxing seemed a little impatient and added, "However, I have no interest in talking to your old face. If you say another word, I can send you to meet that weasel-faced fellow."
Upon hearing this, Xu Changzhi narrowed his eyes slightly, wanting to say a few tough words, but Lianxing's action of killing Quan Guanqing with a single move was enough to prove that Lianxing on the other side was really going to kill him.
Therefore, even when threatened by Lianxing in front of everyone, Xu Changzhi could only keep quiet.
Seeing this, Lianxing curled her lips and said, "A bunch of bullies who prey on the weak and fear the strong. They only bully honest people."
Hearing Lianxing's sarcastic words, the faces of everyone in the Northern Beggars' Clan darkened.
At this moment, Chu Qinghe smiled gently and placed his hand on Lianxing's shoulder.
Feeling the unusual sensation on her shoulder, Lianxing's beautiful eyes lit up, then she instantly fell silent.
Once Lianxing calmed down, Chu Qinghe continued, "It's just a small matter, everyone doesn't need to worry about it, please continue."
However, upon seeing Chu Qinghe speak, the monk Zhiguang, who had been moving his feet earlier, said, "Amitabha, it is a human life after all. You think you can just let it go with a single, light sentence? Isn't that too dismissive of you, benefactor?"
"Explain?"
Seeing the monk Zhiguang step forward and speak again, Chu Qinghe couldn't help but smile.
After a moment's thought, he nodded and said, "That's right. It's really a bit unreasonable to pay for a life with a life. In that case, I'll give my life in exchange for yours."
"Um?"
Hearing Chu Qinghe's words, not only the Beggar Clan members, but even the women like Shui Mu Yin Ji looked at Chu Qinghe with puzzled expressions.
After saying that, Chu Qinghe flicked his fingers lightly.
The moment his true energy circulated, a three-foot-long sword aura burst forth from Chu Qinghe's fingertips.
The sword energy swept across the sky, as swift as a shooting star.
When the sword energy appeared in front of Monk Zhiguang in an instant, the original sword energy actually split into three, piercing into Monk Zhiguang's chest, neck, and brow respectively, and exiting from behind him.
This happened so fast that almost the instant Qiao Feng and Hong Qigong sensed the fluctuations of Chu Qinghe's internal energy, the three sword energies had already pierced through the body of Monk Zhiguang.
When his chest and brow were pierced, the monk Zhiguang immediately felt all the strength and vitality in his body rapidly draining away through the wounds in his chest and brow.
When his body went limp and he collapsed to the ground, Monk Zhiguang was completely dazed.
Clearly, by this point, how could Monk Zhiguang not understand what Chu Qinghe meant by those words?
"I'll give my life to pay for the Beggars' Sect?"
Understanding this, Monk Zhiguang wanted to ask Chu Qinghe, "Why?", but when he opened his mouth, he couldn't utter a single word. He could only swallow his resentment and astonishment and fall silent.
That's why Chu Qinghe's fighting style is to strike twice with his body and then his head, ensuring both complete death and that the enemy dies silently.
After all, the person is about to die, and if they say something harsh, it would affect the mood.
Then, glancing at the corpse of Monk Zhiguang, Chu Qinghe sneered inwardly.
When Lianxing made her move, this guy hid in the back and didn't dare to say a word.
But when it was her turn to speak, she was the first to stand up, clearly intending to continue using moral blackmail against Chu Qinghe.
After successfully rejecting the moral blackmail from the monk Zhiguang, Chu Qinghe smiled at the others in the apricot grove and said, "Alright, I've already lost my life, you can continue."
Looking at Chu Qinghe's warm smile, and then at the monk Zhiguang lying on the ground beside him, his robes soaked in blood and on the verge of death, the members of the Beggars' Sect fell silent.
After turning her gaze away from the monk Zhiguang, Qu Feiyan couldn't help but grin and nudged Xiao Zhao in surprise, saying, "You can't just exchange one life for another like this?"
Faced with Qu Feiyan's question, Xiao Zhao also looked bewildered.
Clearly, Xiao Zhao was also somewhat stunned by Chu Qinghe's actions.
Hearing the voice beside him, Chu Qinghe said irritably, "Nonsense, are we going to use our lives to pay for it instead of his?"
Upon hearing the voice, Qu Feiyan thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement, "That's right."
As she spoke, Qu Feiyan muttered, "I've learned another trick."
Sometimes, being by Chu Qinghe's side is like this; the way you acquire knowledge always comes unexpectedly.
And it's also quite strange.
Believe it or not, Qu Feiyan quite liked everything she learned from Chu Qinghe.
However, compared to the Water Mother Yin Ji and Qu Feiyan and the other women, Lianxing felt completely different at this moment.
After all, this was Lianxing's first time accompanying Chu Qinghe, and she didn't know much about Chu Qinghe's past behavior.
