Chapter 971: 971
Ming Shu injured the man in the curtained hat earlier today, but he could still fight with the Demonic Sect’s leader…
He healed a little too fast .
Is this a different person?
Ming Shu observed for a while . She realized the sect leader didn’t use his full strength .
He even purposely let himself got hit by the man in curtained hat .
“Pu—”
Fresh blood spurted out of his mouth . That exaggerated posture and expression…
It is so fake .
The man in the curtained hat wanted to continue his attacks . However, he paused and suddenly jumped onto the tree along the side of the river . Then, he disappeared into the night sky .
“Leader!”
“Leader, are you okay!”
“Leader, what happened to you?”
The disciples of the Demonic Sect ran up the bridge and gathered around their sect leader .
Their sect leader waved his hands . “I am fine . You all can leave first . ”
“Sect Leader…” The disciples shouted with so much emotion it seemed as though their sect leader was going to die soon .
“I won’t die . ” The sect leader was speechless . “You all can leave first . ”
The disciples of the Demonic Sect exchanged glances with each other and left .
The bridge became quiet again . Ming Shu smiled as she looked at the sect leader . “Internal dispute?”
“No . ” The sect leader wiped the blood off his mouth corners with his sleeve . “Personal grudge . However, he does want to take over my position . ”
“Then why didn’t you kill him?” Why did you let yourself get hit?
“That is a strategy . ” The sect leader sneered .
Ming Shu raised her eyebrows . “A despicable strategy?”
Pretending to be injured so that you could fool your opponent? This was exactly what the man in the curtained hat did to Lord Zhuo .
As expected of people who came from the same sect .
“Yes . The kind of methods that righteous clans like you all won’t use . ” The sect leader was sarcastic .
“Hey, why are you leaving? Wait for me . I am talking to you . Are you angry because I said the truth?” The sect leader chased after Ming Shu .
The sect leader left with Ming Shu .
Not long after they left, a figure ran up the bridge .
Jiang Ling looked around her . Strange… why is there no one here?
The ground was wet . She looked at the ground for a moment . Was she too late?
She calculated her time properly . Why was she late…
Did the Demonic Sect’s leader get saved by the female protagonist?
Jiang Ling frowned as she scanned her surroundings . There was no sign of the sect leader .
When Ming Shu came back with the people from the Demonic Sect as well as the sect leader, Steamed Bun got a shock .
If anyone from the Flying Tiger Clan saw this, they would think that they colluded with the Demonic Sect .
The pugilist world would no longer be after the Demonic Sect . They would be after the Alliance Master Mansion .
“Alliance Master… I will go back to my room first,” Rong Li whispered to Ming Shu .
The sect leader poured himself a cup of tea . When Rong Li was leaving, he glanced at him .
“You recognize him?” After Rong Li left, Ming Shu went to sit opposite the sect leader .
“He looks familiar,” the sect leader said . “I might be thinking too much . However, it is better to be safe than sorry . If you don’t know the person’s background, don’t keep him beside you . ”
“Shouldn’t the Demonic Sect be happy if something happens to me?”
“We are in a collaboration now . ” The sect leader had a good sense of teamwork .
“So, did you beat Jiang Ling up?” She saw Jiang Ling all lively and fine . Nothing seemed to have happened to her .
“…” The sect leader coughed . “I was busy . I will ask people to do it immediately . ”
As the Demonic Sect’s leader, he would be chased everyday . He had a lot of things to do too .
Ming Shu asked, “Who is the man that attacked you?”

The sect leader paused for a few seconds . He put down his teacup and replied, “My senior brother . ”
“Dispute among your Sect?”
“I didn’t expect it to be Senior Brother…”
The sect leader shook his head . “I didn’t want to be the sect leader, but my master gave this position to me . I had to accept it . ”
The sect leader told Ming Shu of a plot that would happen in every single story .
The sect leader and his senior brother entered the sect together . His senior brother was a hardworking person but lacked talent .
On the other hand, he was smart, but lazy and naughty . No matter how hard his senior brother worked, he was unable to catch up with the sect leader .
Because of this difference, his senior brother started to feel jealous of him .
His senior brother was supposed to inherit the position of the sect leader . However, he got it in the end .
He didn’t want to be the sect leader, but he had no choice .
His senior brother went to the dark side .
The sect leader felt depressed too .
He was chased by his senior brother everyday and he had to take care of that bunch of irritating disciples .
He was a handsome and charismatic young man once . Look at what he had become .
Ming Shu: “…” As expected of a fun and casual story .
Even the Demonic Sect’s leader is so weird .
“Alliance Master, Alliance Master… something happened . ”
Steamed Bun ran in agitatedly .
“Didn’t I tell you to shout only when someone died?”
Nothing was a problem besides life and death .
Steamed Bun swallowed . “Someone… died . ”
Ming Shu and the sect leader looked at him simultaneously .
Steamed Bun said hurriedly, “The divine sword is gone . The people watching over the divine sword are all dead . ”

“Oh . ” What does it have to do with me? I don’t want the sword anyway .
Steamed Bun: ???
Alliance Master, is this all the reaction you can muster?
Ming Shu noticed Steamed Bun’s questioning eyes . She tried her best and forced out some words . “So sad . ”
Her reaction was as exaggerated as the sect leader’s .
Steamed Bun turned his head and looked outside . Luckily, there were no outsiders .
“What are we eating for supper?”
Steamed Bun flared up in his heart .
Eat what!
Go to the Thousand Jade Mountain now!
Ming Shu climbed up the Thousand Jade Mountain in the middle of the night .
The Thousand Jade Mountain was lit brightly . The smell of blood filled the air .
Everyone wore sorrowful looks on their faces .
Only Ming Shu ate her snacks with a calm expression as she watched the sects and clans lay out the deceased in a row .
“It is the Demonic Sect again . ”
“Unforgivable!”
“Those bastards from the Demonic Sect are inhumane! Don’t let me catch them…”
“They even took the divine sword!” This was the main point .
The divine sword was stolen and their friends were killed .
This was why they were furious and wanted to destroy the Demonic Sect .
The Demonic Sect’s leader, who was dressed up as someone from the Alliance Master Mansion: “…”
Ming Shu looked at the sect leader too .

The sect leader twitched his mouth corners . He whispered, “I don’t have the time to come here . Don’t be stupid and push the blame on me . ”
The sect leader felt that this little girl was different from those other people from the righteous clans . He didn’t know why he felt this way .
She would not be so stupid and push the blame on the Demonic Sect whenever something bad happened .
Ming Shu lowered her head and continued eating her sweet dumplings .
The sect leader: “…”
The sect leader poked Ming Shu with a tree branch . “Bring me over so that I can take a look . ” He wanted to see who dared to frame him .
“Go yourself . ”
“If I go myself, I will not be able to make it back . ” The sect leader got angry .
If he appeared, these people would skin him alive and maybe deep fry him too .
Ming Shu remained unmoved .
“I will treat you to a meal!” The sect leader made his ultimate move .
Ming Shu walked over . She moved so quickly the sect leader didn’t react in time . He only regained his senses after Ming Shu had walked some distance . He ran to catch up with her .
“Alliance Master…”
“Alliance Master . ”
People started greeting her .
The sect leader tried his best to diminish his presence .
Once they reached the place where the corpses were laid out, Ming Shu stopped eating . However, she didn’t do anything else, either .
The scene was strange .
The sect leader: “…”
The sect leader bowed to Ming Shu and then bent down to inspect the bodies .
Everyone thought that Ming Shu ordered him to do it so no one stopped him .
