Chapter 140 Xiao Potian is unworthy
"Manager Li, could we discuss our matter later? Let me deal with Xiao Potian first."
Jing Lei said in a calm tone.
Li Fugui's eyes were extremely cold, showing him absolutely no respect.
"My orders are to strangle you. As for the rest, you can tell the King of Hell after you die."
"Are you really going to show absolutely no mercy?"
The sound of thunder faded into coldness.
"Did I not leave any for you? Don't you know what you've done?!"
Li Fugui gave a cold shout.
He came to Tianwu City with Mo Wu and, over the years, naturally understood how much effort Mo Wu had put in.
To defend it, Li Fugui would never allow anyone to trample on Mo Wu's hard work.
Anyone who dares to cross the line will be killed.
"Hahaha……"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Potian burst into laughter.
He genuinely wanted to mock Jing Lei, asking, "Are you brainless?"
They even dared to touch me.
Don't you know that Mo Wu thinks highly of me?
Didn't you see that they even mobilized Li Fugui for my sake?
They still want to save face.
I offered it to you before, but you didn't want it. Now you realize you were wrong, but it's too late.
"The young lady has ordered that they be killed."
Li Fugui gave the order.
"yes."
The crowd responded in unison and headed straight for Jing Lei.
In an instant, the two sides engaged in a fierce battle.
However, Li Fugui's side completely overwhelmed Jing Lei's side in terms of both numbers and cultivation level.
Zhou Xianzong was overjoyed to see the two sides start fighting.
So far, the plot has been progressing smoothly.
But since he is, after all, the main villain, and he personally witnessed Li Fugui saving Xiao Potian, he still had to put on a show.
He immediately pretended to be angry and questioned her.
"Sister Mo, what do you mean by this?"
Mo Wu was stunned, clearly not having reacted yet.
"You know I have a grudge against Xiao Potian. I can forgive you for not helping me, but today, when Jing Lei tried to kill Xiao Potian, you actually secretly sent people to help him. You really chill my heart."
Zhou Xianzong spoke in a low voice.
"Your Highness, listen to me, things are not as you think."
Mo Wu was unusually disheveled.
She is never afraid of being misunderstood, nor does she care about other people's opinions; she just does her own thing.
But for some reason, when Zhou Xianzong questioned her, she became unusually flustered.
Even though she knew Zhou Xianzong might be faking it, she did it anyway.
"Hehe, I'd like to see what kind of nonsense you can come up with."
Zhou Xianzong sneered.
"Your Highness, you are unaware of the fact that the Crimson Pavilion has been suppressing the Treasure Pavilion recently. In order to protect myself, I had no choice but to take action against the Crimson Pavilion. I never expected that my men would accidentally stumble upon this matter."
Mo Wu gave a brief explanation.
Then, in order to prove his innocence, he calmly said...
"If Your Highness does not believe me, I will have them bring Xiao Potian here now and hand him over to Your Highness for punishment."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xianzong himself became somewhat flustered.
Sister, that won't do!
If you bring Xiao Potian here, what the hell am I supposed to do with him?
But if I say I believe it, then what about what I said before? Am I contradicting myself?
"Sister Mo, we've known each other for quite some time, and we even have collaborations with Zhou Chao. I trust you."
Zhou Xianzong's tone softened a bit.
This is not only a way out for himself, but also a way out for Mo Wu.
"Xiao Potian is nothing but a piece of trash. No matter how much he cultivates, he's still just a piece of trash. I don't take him seriously at all, and I don't need to care about his life or death. Letting him live a few more days is a favor to him."
Zhou Xianzong spoke with an air of dominance.
He portrayed the spoiled prince to the fullest extent.
"Thank you for your trust, Your Highness."
A smile appeared on Mo Wu's pretty face.
Zhou Xianzong nodded slightly and looked back at the battlefield.
The battle is over.
The two Celestial Realm assassins and five Meridian Opening Realm assassins from the Crimson Tower all died at the hands of the Treasure Pavilion.
Even the most powerful thunderbolt was now trampled underfoot by Li Fugui. He suffered severe injuries, his body covered in blood, and he could hardly even put up a fight.
Li Fugui is also a ruthless killer who doesn't blink an eye. Don't be fooled by his seemingly honest and cheerful demeanor.
Once they start killing, they show absolutely no mercy.
He gave Jing Lei no chance and killed him directly.
Such ruthless methods even surprised Xiao Potian.
"I never would have guessed that this old man could be so ruthless."
"Let's go too."
Seeing that the matter had been settled, Zhou Xianzong remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was quite happy.
Judging from today's battle, Mo Wu and Xiao Potian's relationship is still quite good.
If things continue like this, the plot will only get smoother.
"Yes, Your Highness."
Mo Wu nodded slightly.
Just as they were about to have the coachman drive the carriage toward the Treasure Pavilion, a voice suddenly blocked their way.
The figure was none other than Xiao Potian.
He glanced at the markings on the carriage and gave what he considered a dashing and handsome smile.
"If I'm not mistaken, the person in the carriage should be Miss Mo Wu."
Mo Wu glanced at Zhou Xianzong first, and seeing that he had no intention of speaking, she then spoke.
"It's me. What brings you here?"
Zhou Xianzong, standing to the side, thought to himself, "Damn it, he's still putting on an act with me."
You saved Xiao Potian, so what else could he want from you?
You, what brings you here today to ask me to look at some kind of elixir? Wouldn't it be better to just stay with Xiao Potian and enjoy some alone time?
Now look what's happened! I'm stuck being the third wheel, and you find it annoying, but there's nothing you can do about it.
Oh shit.
Does this count as working overtime?
Zhou Xianzong was still quite unhappy about working overtime.
"I have come here to express my gratitude to Miss Mo Wu for saving my life."
Xiao Potian said thank you, but his tone didn't convey any gratitude whatsoever.
Mo Wu wasn't interested in him either, and immediately said...
"No need. I already had a grudge against the Crimson Tower. You were just lucky to be saved this time."
Xiao Potian felt uneasy upon hearing this.
He had thought that Mo Wu had come specifically to save him, but now it seemed that it was just a coincidence.
But he was still somewhat unwilling, feeling that Mo Wu still had some feelings for him.
Otherwise, why would they make a move at this particular time?
"Miss Mo Wu, to repay your life-saving grace, I, Xiao, would like to invite you to a meal so that I may properly express my gratitude. What do you say?"
Upon hearing this, Mo Wu felt a surge of disgust.
She refused without hesitation.
"There are too many people in Tianwu City who want to have dinner with me. If I have to attend every dinner party, wouldn't that be a waste of time? Besides, I have already invited His Highness Zhou. You should go back to where you came from."
Mo Wu's voice was slightly cold; her words were already quite clear.
Not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can eat with her.
To put it bluntly, Xiao Potian is not worthy.
But Xiao Potian didn't realize that his attention was entirely focused on the three words "Zhou Xianzong".
It was Zhou Xianzong again.
Why is there this scoundrel everywhere?
Not long ago, he ruined two of my plans by forcing Le'er and Yueyue to speak ill of me.
Now, they even dare to extend their evil claws to Mo Wu.
Damn it, do they really think I have no temper?
