Chapter 84 Demon Sword Host
Fan Chuan was so angry and in pain from having his tongue cut that he fainted in a pool of blood.
Corpses were scattered all over the ground. The other students were paralyzed with fear. They held on to the pillars of the pavilion and looked at each other, not daring to move.
When gods fight, mortals suffer.
The two guards who were escorting Gu Zitao had already let go of him, ran back, gave their young master first aid, and brought him back.
It was a bit funny that he came in a threatening manner and left in a hurry.
But unfortunately, no one else present could laugh at all.
Liang Zhi still had some rationality left. He swallowed his saliva and looked at Chen Ning:
"Now, what should we do now? The Cao Gang is powerful. If they track us down, we will definitely not be able to escape..."
Chen Ning was also very nervous, her fingers trembling slightly, and the book was crumpled by her, but she still closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and whispered in a calm voice:
"You and the others, hurry back and inform your families. I'll have my brother and father arrange for someone to take you and your families to the South Pier."
"With the Chen family here, we can at least protect you for a while..."
After all, it was she who implicated these people.
Chen Ning had already heard from Fan Chuan's later words that he simply wanted to test the Chen family. No matter whether it was a poetry gathering or any other gathering held today, Fan Chuan would find an opportunity to cause trouble.
Today it is her, Chen Ning, tomorrow it will be Chen An!
The other students were overjoyed and hurried over to express their gratitude to Chen Ning, then quickly left the pavilion.
But when he saw one of them evasive, Chen Ning took a step sideways and stopped the other person.
With a hint of anger in her eyes, she said, "As for you, Tang Shan, we in the Chen Mansion do not welcome those who are two-faced. Since you want the wealth and glory that the Cao Gang can offer you, and are willing to betray your classmates for it, then go and ask for their protection."
Tang Shan's expression changed, and he actually retorted: "I was just telling the truth. Isn't that poem written by Gu Zitao?!"
"He just wanted to let his tongue get the better of him, and he got us into trouble. Can't I just tell the truth?"
He shouted, "It's better for him to take the blame alone than for all of us to suffer! I'm doing this for everyone's good!"
Chen Ning looked at him, extremely disappointed. "He was just trying to get away with it for a while, but ultimately he has a deep affection for the Liang Kingdom. What about you?"
"Are you willing to change from being a Liang citizen to a Zhou citizen?"
"Fan Chuan appears to be speaking for the Cao Gang today, but in reality, he's trying to silence the Great Zhou Education Officer. Today it's a poem, a name, tomorrow it'll be a word, a look!"
"If you say this today, no one will speak up for you in the future!"
Tang Shan stiffened his neck and said, "So what do you want? I'm telling you, I'm not afraid of your Chen family!"
Chen Ning shook his head: "Go ahead, this is the path you chose."
Tang Shan breathed a sigh of relief and tried to slip away quickly, but before he could take two steps, he was punched in the face by Gu Zitao who was lying in ambush outside the garden wall.
He was stunned for a moment, but Gu Zitao had no intention of letting him go. He took advantage of the situation and beat him up.
Chen Ning looked towards the small building next to him and said, "Thank you very much for saving me, Senior... I wonder if you could tell me your name. Chen Ning will definitely repay you for saving my life one day."
"This little girl is not very old, but she speaks quite well."
Qi Sibai looked at the bookish girl below and seemed to admire her very much.
Shen Meinan was unconvinced: "I'm about the same age, don't I look pretty good too?"
Qi Sibai shook his head: "You mean, when you're undecided, you start yelling and slashing at people with your sword?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Meinan drew his sword in anger, screamed, and prepared to fight Qi Sibai to the death.
Chen Kuang put his arm around her waist, stopped her, and pushed her back into her seat.
Qi Sibai said with amusement, "When I say she speaks in a proper manner, I mean she sees things clearly, knows what to say, and isn't afraid of anything. After all, she's not a cultivator, which is rare at her age."
He looked at Chen Kuang again: "But, Brother Chen, don't you plan to kill Fan Chuan? This person is narrow-minded and I'm afraid he will take revenge on the Chen family."
Chen Kuang shook his head: "Don't kill."
He raised the corner of his mouth and said, "I'm afraid that after he knows Brother Qi's identity, he won't dare to retaliate."
Qi Sibai was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud: "Then I have to be polite to them."
Chen Kuang bowed and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Qi."
Qi Sibai smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay. As long as Brother Chen can tell me the whereabouts of the 'Demon Sword', I'll be happy to follow you."
He had said something similar to this to Lin Eryou on the ship earlier.
Chen Kuang's meaning was very clear. He just wanted the Cao Gang to take action against the Chen family, and then naturally help the Chen family take power.
As for what Qi Sibai did just now, it was all used as a condition for Chen Kuang to speak.
Chen Kuang looked down and saw that Chen Ning didn't get a reply, so he automatically took it as a rejection. So after hesitating for a long time, he had to leave a hairpin as a token of trust and left Xianyu Temple.
After a while, a waiter came to clean and delivered the hairpin to the room.
Chen Kuang put away the hairpin and said seriously:
"I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Brother Qi."
"You should already know that I was entrusted by Huo Hengxuan to escort the mother and daughter out of Liang State."
Qi Sibai had a vague premonition when he heard this, and said in a deep voice:
"Is the demon sword related to the mother and daughter?"
Chen Kuang nodded and repeated what he had learned from Chu Wenruo and Qingcuo before, combining it with the information given by Shen Meinan.
