Yue Ru’s Musical Assassination Technique was superb as well and most people would succumb to its effects . However, her skill was nothing compared to Bai Feng’s — the difference was like a child’s and an adult’s .
After a while, the two middle-aged men laid on the ground, unmoving and they were dead .
The ten people on the ground had been reduced to dried up corpses and it was horrifying to look at . Yue Ru was the only woman who saw this and her expression turned to one of disgust as a nauseous feeling welled up inside her .
After Zhang Junrui spat out a mouthful of blood, his face went pale . He cupped his fists and said in a deep voice, “Miss Bai, I’ve misunderstood you!”
“I don’t care whether you misunderstood me or not . I’ll get rid of you first . ”
“All of the disciples of the Blazing Sun Clan know that I’ve come to Phoenix Goddess Brothel . ”
“Then I’ll just say you’ve left to go after the Church of the Bloody Garment and you’re nowhere to be found . ”
“Miss Bai, when have I offended you? Why do you want me to die?”
“Do you think I wasn’t aware of the fact that you often plotted against Phoenix Goddess Brothel?”
“It’s just a little fight . Why do you want to make this a matter of life and death?”
“Hmph, you’ve always wanted to kill me . So how are you going to explain this?”
“I never had such intentions!”
“Even at this moment, you still want to lie?” Bai Feng laughed wickedly . “No point in lying anyway . No one can save you today!”
“The Flaming Sun Sect and the Tian Luo Sect should unite to tackle the White Tiger Sect . How can we fight amongst ourselves?!” Zhang Junrui said, “Miss Bai Feng, don’t worry . Once you let me go, I’ll let my disciple, Lu Xiaofeng marry Miss Yue Ru . How does that sound?”
“Haha…” Bai Feng let out a heartless laugh .
Yue Ru hesitated as she looked towards Bai Feng .
Bai Feng rolled her eyes and sneered, “Do you really want to marry Lu Xiaofeng?”
Yue Ru nodded slowly .
Despite her feelings for Lu Xiaofeng, she had not been blinded by her emotions and she still had a clear sense of judgment . She was ultimately a disciple of the Tian Luo Sect, whereas he was a disciple of the Flaming Sun Sect, so it was impossible for them to get married .
Moreover, judging from this situation, she knew that Lu Xiaofeng was not a reliable man . To him, she was not as important as the Blazing Sun Clan and he would surely abandon her for the clan .
Bai Feng scoffed . “That’s fine then!”
“But…” Yue Ru asked, “do you have to kill him? Won’t the Flaming Sun Sect avenge his death?”
Bai Feng looked at her with disdain .
Yue Ru loved the people related to Lu Xiaofeng . She was against her master’s intention of executing Zhang Junrui because if so, both sects would end up as deadly enemies . Then, that would make both Lu Xiaofeng and her become arch enemies until they fight each other to death . It was hard to imagine what it would be like .
Chu Li cleared his throat and spoke, “Or, just spare his life . ”
Bai Feng turned to look at him .
Chu Li asserted, “If you kill him, you will put Miss Yue Ru in a tight spot . ”
“This girl only thinks about love!” Bai Feng shook her head .
Chu Li smiled . “Lu Xiaofeng likes Miss Yue Ru, so Zhang Junrui won’t harm you, Senior Bai . ”
Bai Feng frowned and snorted, “That kid might not care about love!”
Chu Li argued, “The members of the Flaming Sun Sect are not amateurs . If you kill him, they will find out who the culprit is . Causing a rift between both sects is a bad idea, so it’s better if you let him go . ”
In fact, he saw a completely different thought in Zhang Junrui’s mind .
Zhang Junrui did not want Bai Feng dead . On the contrary, he liked and admired Bai Feng, but he buried his emotions deep beneath his heart and did not want to show it . Rather, he wanted to go against everything that Bai Feng did .
Although Bai Feng was a sharp-witted woman, she did not notice Zhang Junrui’s true emotions . All she did was assume his intention to murder her .
Chu Li let out a silent sigh . Zhang Junrui was a patient man . If he did die under Bai Feng’s hands, it would be extremely unfortunate and he could not bear the thought of this . Thus, he decided to plead for him .
“…Alright, since you’ve spoken, I shall spare him this time!” Bai Feng snorted and immediately stopped strumming the instrument .
Zhang Junrui spat out another mouthful of blood before he slumped to the ground . He let out a pained smile .
Chu Li said, “Senior Bai, based on my observation, Zhang Junrui fancies you . I’ll go remove the formation . Please excuse me!”
After that, he turned around and left .
Bai Feng was flabbergasted . She then laughed heartily and thought that Chu Li was great at making jokes .
Chu Li channeled energy with both hands and stared at the void . All of a sudden, he reached his hand out and scooped out a jade lion from the void with an outstretched arm . Following that, the remaining seven jade artifacts gradually floated out of the void as well . With one hand, Chu Li caught them all .
Carrying all the jade artifacts with him, Chu Li turned around and left Phoenix Goddess Brothel .
As Yue Ru noticed his expression, she smiled . She then turned to Bai Feng and whispered, “Master, what Master Zhao said…”
“Enough of that nonsense!” Bai Feng glared at her . “He’s joking . ”
“I doubt Master Zhao would joke about such matters . ”
“Then just treat it as a joke!” Bai Feng replied impatiently . “I’m no spring chicken!”
Yue Ru observed her face and proceeded to shake her head .
Compared to her, her master looked younger and was very beautiful . Hence, it was normal for men to fall in love with her master . Yet, she liked to keep to herself and instead, thought that she was old .
Bai Feng walked towards Zhang Junrui and snorted, “How are you? Do you understand how powerful I am now?”
Zhang Junrui’s looked up at her before he got up slowly . He grimaced . “Miss Bai, why do you have to do this?”
“You’re always scheming and up to no good!” Bai Feng said coldly . “I’ve been kind enough to spare a conniving, diabolical man like you . If there’s a next time, I will most certainly kill you!”
Zhang Junrui sighed . “I really wanted to help you . ”
“Thank you very much, but there’s no need to do so . ” Bai Feng replied dismissively and pointed at the ten disciples of the Church of the Bloody Garment . “Take care of them . Now that’s easy!”
Zhang Junrui forced a smile . He then exhaled a pent-up breath and nodded . “Yes, it was all my fault . The Phoenix Goddess Brothel is unassuming . I didn’t expect a master to be present!”
He did not expect Phoenix Goddess Brothel and the Tian Luo Sect to be so well-prepared that they even had a formation master to assist them . What could he say about that? The disciples of the Church of the Bloody Garment did not die in vain . However, Bai Feng’s actions were unpredictable indeed . Not only did she hide the fact that she had a formation master with her, but she even spread the word that she was looking for help . Her look of helplessness was just a façade after all and she had duped everyone around her!
Bai Feng spoke, “Get lost now! Phoenix Goddess Brothel doesn’t welcome you . Don’t ever come back!”
“Sigh…” Zhang Junrui shook his head .
Bai Feng walked up the stairs gracefully while Yue Ru followed behind her . Before ascending the stairs, she faced Zhang Junrui and curtsied .
In return, Zhang Junrui smiled and nodded in acknowledgment .
He felt embarrassed to be beaten up so badly by Bai Feng in front of Yue Ru .
Nonetheless, there was a tiny spark of joy inside him . If someone else were to beat him up this way, he would be furious and would even swear revenge on him . However, instead of being angry when Bai Feng beat him up, he enjoyed the process and wished for her to always torture him like this .
“Master?” A loud voice boomed without warning . Lu Xiaofeng took large strides into the room and was shocked when he discovered an injured Zhang Junrui .
Zhang Junrui waved an arm . “I’m fine . ”
“Where are the rest of the people from the Church of the Bloody Garment?” Lu Xiaofeng asked .
Zhang Junrui shook his head . “They’re all dead . ”
“Master, didn’t you say that you won’t be coming here?” Lu Xiaofeng grumbled . “So why did you come here?”
“We belong on the same side after all . It was too dangerous and I thought that I should extend a helping hand,” Zhang Junrui explained .
Lu Xiaofeng replied, “The Church of the Bloody Garment is insane . If their blood comes into contact with us, we can never get rid of it!”
