Chapter 135 Only One Person
Ignoring the astonished gazes of those around her, Mu Jianjian leaped lightly to the side of the demon beast and reached out to pull open the curtains around the wooden chamber, intending to drag the person inside out.
She keenly sensed that there was a presence nearby constantly watching what was happening.
It was obvious that this was a bodyguard from a man of considerable family background in the wooden room, presumably a Foundation Establishment cultivator who had come to protect this Qi Condensation young master.
Sure enough, just before Mu Jianjian's fingertips touched the curtain, a black figure unleashed its true energy, forcing her away and landing in front of the wooden room.
Mu Jianjian landed lightly, and looked at the black-robed man who appeared with a strong killing intent without any surprise.
At this moment, the man in the wooden room seemed to realize what had happened and stood up. As he walked, the translucent beads above his head swayed continuously.
"Shadow, kill her! How dare you lay a hand on me!" The arrogant voice never stopped. "Do you know who I am? How dare you act so presumptuously in Duan Yuechi!"
Mu Jianjian never understood what was going on in the mind of someone who could say such foolish lines, especially in a cultivation world where there are always people more powerful than you. Aren't they afraid of kicking a hornet's nest?
"I don't know, and I don't want to know." The girl's voice was unusually perfunctory, like a yawn before a long afternoon nap.
She didn't want to talk to someone who wasn't quite right in the head, so she took off the hairpin and stood still, watching the black-robed man's attack coming towards her.
People of all ages on the street had already fled, seemingly used to such sudden fighting. In an instant, the street was deserted, with only a few fearless cultivators hiding in the alleyways, secretly watching what was happening.
In the private room of the teahouse, Shen Ningyu saw the heterochromatic-eyed boy looking down at the window. Not wanting to be ignored, she bit her lip and followed the boy's gaze downwards, only to see the dispute that her brother had just mentioned.
He usually wouldn't even glance at something like this, so is there something special about this time?
Shen Ningyu finally begged her brother to bring her along when he asked to see the pool master, but she never expected to be just a background character from beginning to end!
“Lord Linghu, Young Master Luo has trampled people to death several times like this. He doesn’t value the lives of people from outside the city,” Shen Ningyu said softly, her sympathetic gaze falling on the girl confronting the man in black robes on the street. “I tried to persuade him at the flower-viewing banquet hosted by Miss Linghu, but he wouldn’t listen to a word I said.”
Although everyone in Duan Yuechi calls Linghu Zhuoyu "Master of the Pond," Shen Ningyu always felt that it was too formal, so she cleverly used his surname to address him.
Even if she had no sympathy for the lives trampled to death, she still had to pretend to be kind in front of her beloved.
Shen Ningyu watched as the man in black robes raised his sword to stab the girl, showing no surprise, waiting for the girl to bleed on the spot the next moment.
"Master Chi?" Shen Fengzhou, who was standing nearby, frowned and called out when he saw that Linghu Zhuoyu had disappeared.
The siblings instinctively looked around, only to see through the window that the boy had already landed by the street and raised his hand to block the black-robed man's true energy for the girl.
"How...how is this possible?" Shen Ningyu's mouth dropped open, her delicate face contorted for a moment. She grabbed Shen Fengzhou's hand beside her. "Brother, let's go down and take a look too."
Why did Linghu Zhuoyu help that girl?
They must have been putting up with Young Master Luo for a long time and wanted to teach him a lesson.
Shen Ningyu comforted herself in this way, turned around and followed her brother out of the private room, stepping onto the downward stairs and hurrying outside.
Before Mu Jianjian could swing the hairpin held in her hand, she saw a familiar young man's back blocking her way, familiar yet resolute.
She blinked her eyes.
Yu Yu!
After the black-robed man's attack, he could hardly believe his eyes. Not only was he stunned, but the cultivators who had not yet left and were hiding in the shadows by the street were also dumbfounded.
The young man was dressed in a clean black robe with delicate embroidery trim at the hem. A palm-sized dark wooden box with a jade pendant hung at his waist, giving him an air of grandeur and elegance. However, a thick red and black snake, about the thickness of a wrist, was coiled around his neck, its tongue flicking out, which disrupted his overall demeanor.
His black hair was long and thin, with the right side of his face braided into three strands wrapped with red silk thread and hanging down to his chin. The boy had a smile on his lips, and his gray and black pupils were unusually cold. His appearance was handsome and had an innate nobility.
In the entire Duan Yuechi, there is only one person with a snake around his neck and heterochromatic eyes.
Only one person!
The man in black robes spoke in disbelief, his voice trembling, "Master Chi...Master Chi?"
After the pool master replaced the former pool master, Miss Linghu, a few months ago, his personality became exceptionally cold-blooded and tyrannical, even worse than the previous Miss Linghu who was like a madwoman!
Despite being just a teenager, his cultivation and poison techniques were exceptionally terrifying. After the Upper Pool Master became one of the new "Five Eccentrics," he rejuvenated the entire inner city. Those who disobeyed his orders were thrown into the snake pit and died without a burial place.
However, this person never meddled in other people's business and never cared about the fact that the young master of the Luo family often used monsters to trample people in the outer city!
Why has it suddenly appeared now?
