…
The sword energy permeated around them, and as time went on, Ding Minjun was unable to withstand it anymore.
Zhou Zhiruo is younger than Ding Minjun, nearly twenty years older. Although her internal strength is not as good as Ding Minjun's, her understanding of martial arts is far superior to Ding Minjun.
Every sword strike Zhou Zhiruo swung was just right, without wasting a single bit of energy.
…
After a cup of tea, Zhou Zhiruo seized an opportunity.
She used the long sword in her hand to block Ding Minjun's sword path. At the moment the two swords collided, Zhou Zhiruo drew a short knife from her waist.
The sharp edge of the dagger was pressing against Ding Minjun's neck.
Ding Minjun could only raise her hand to block. She grabbed Zhou Zhiruo's wrist, but the blade was already pressed against her neck.
Zhou Zhiruo said expressionlessly: Senior Sister, have you had enough fun?
If you continue to make trouble, I really won't be able to stop myself.
Ding Minjun's heart was in her throat. After all these years, this seemed to be the closest she had ever been to death.
She said to Zhou Zhiruo: Put your knife away first, let's pretend nothing happened today.
Zhou Zhiruo smiled and took away her dagger.
Senior sister, please don’t always be against me. After so many years, I still don’t know how I offended you.
Ever since Old Man Zhang sent me to Emei, you and the other senior sisters have always disliked me.
When I was little, it was fine for me to be bullied by you, but it has been almost ten years now, and you are still not done with it.
Ding Minjun did not dwell on this topic. She looked at the dagger in Zhou Zhiruo's left hand and said: Who did you learn that move just now from?
Zhou Zhiruo looked at the dagger in her hand and said helplessly: Senior Sister, your memory is really bad. Do you really not remember this knife?
When I came to Emei, I was less than ten years old. At such a young age, I was assigned to the kitchen and was responsible for feeding your large group of people.
This short knife was a kitchen knife back then. I spent nearly ten years sharpening it in the kitchen until it became like this. In order to express my gratitude to my senior sisters for their care, I must take this kitchen knife with me even if I die.
You senior sisters always say behind my back that I'm cowardly and that I don't like killing. In fact, you should be grateful for my cowardly character.
If I were a little more resolute, the first person to die would be you, Ding Minjun.
Zhou Zhiruo put the short knife and long sword back into their sheaths respectively.
It was not until this moment that Ding Minjun realized that Zhou Zhiruo's behavior today was very abnormal.
She asked Zhou Zhiruo: You seemed to be deliberately provoking me just now. Was it just to let that couple escape?
Zhou Zhiruo smiled and said: So what? You don’t really think that I am interested in the leader of Emei, do you?
So that's really the case. Ding Minjun gritted her teeth and said to Zhou Zhiruo: If you do this, how are you going to explain to your master later?
Explain? Zhou Zhiruo smiled and said: How else can we explain? Just play the same tricks as before, blaming each other, sabotaging each other, and whoever says too much will get a slap in the face.
Get slapped! Ding Minjun subconsciously touched her cheek: Just to save the lives of that couple, you are willing to be slapped. What on earth are you thinking?
Recalling the scene just now, Zhou Zhiruo said with tears and laughter: Isn't this a good deal? With a slap in the face, I can save two lives.
I think it's worth it. Besides, you shouldn't call them dogs and bitches. They haven't offended you. Senior sister, you should be more virtuous in your speech while you live.
you……
Ding Minjun was so angry that she was speechless: If you let those two people go, what about Zhu Jiuzhen?
Zhu Jiuzhen? Zhou Zhiruo said with a smile: Zhu Jiuzhen was not a good person to begin with.
Do you think Master really wants to save her?
We had only been at Hongmei Villa for a few days when Zhu Jiuzhen was beaten to death along with several of her maids.
If a vicious woman like her continues to live, she will only kill more people.
…
The two most capable disciples under Miejue returned to Hongmei Villa in vain.
At this time, Hongmei Villa was filled with crying.
But amidst the crying, Zhou Zhiruo seemed to hear the hidden joy.
She couldn't help but feel sad for Zhu Jiuzhen, "How many unscrupulous things must he have done that after his death, he couldn't even hear a sincere condolence."
When Master Miejue saw the two disciples return, she walked towards them with an angry look on her face.
Snap, snap.
Two slaps hit their faces hard.
Useless things, why did you come back just now? Miss Zhu has already died. How could I, Emei, support two of you trash?
Zhou Zhiruo and Ding Minjun quickly knelt on the ground.
The two said in unison: Disciple deserves to die.
Miejue looked at them coldly and said: Useless things, you will be punished to kneel here all night.
Don't get up without my order.
