Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
At nightfall…
The outside of the Alliance Master Mansion was brightly lit, and they were preparing to attack it with fire. The common people living nearby had long since left for fear of being involved.
Yet inside the Alliance Master Mansion was a peaceful scene, and there was even the smell of food coming out, very tempting.
They were busy out here like dogs, but she was enjoying good food and life in there?
Flip the table!
How dare the Alliance Master Mansion look down upon them!
This for sure made everyone just more determined to eliminate Ming Shu.
As it happened, the people outside wouldn’t cover up anymore; after the preparation was done, they immediately launched the attack.
“Loose!”
Under the order, countless burning arrows flew into the sky.
But they soon found that those arrows were not aiming at the Alliance Master Mansion, but at them.
“Ahh…”
“What’s happening!”
“There is an ambush! An ambush!”
The burning arrows fell among the crowd, smoke rising, followed by the sounds of people falling down.
“Poisonous… The smoke is poisonous!”
Someone reminded the rest loudly.
But it was too late.
Almost everyone had breathed in the smoke. Those who breathed in a lot directly fell and lay on the ground, motionless; those who didn’t breathe too much also lost their strength and could barely support themselves, swaying.
The sound of footsteps and armor clanking came from several streets away.
Soldiers in uniform appeared and quickly surrounded them.
Everyone was stunned and startled. How come the imperial court’s people were here?!
“Hahahaha, looks like everyone is here today. This saves me a lot of trouble.” A hearty laugh came from behind the soldiers. The squad parted, and a man came forward riding on a horse.
“The divine sword!” These heroes in the pugilist world immediately noticed the sword in the man’s hand.
How come the divine sword in the hands of the imperial court’s person? Wasn’t it stolen by the Demonic Sect?
In the face of such a shocking and emergent situation, someone suddenly thought it through and looked at the man disbelievably.
The man laughed. “Now some of you have figured it out. Right, we set everything up.”
“From the divine sword to you and the Demonic Sect becoming enemies, it was all set up by us. We also sent people to eliminate those sects. Didn’t you think you were smart? Chut chut…”
The man’s words helped those who didn’t realize anything also understand what was happening.
They were caught in a trap.
It was all set up by the imperial court.
They sat and watched them fight to the point of losing on both ends, then they showed up and reaped the rewards.
“You…”
They were actually played by the imperial court’s people like fools.
“Hahaha.”
The man stopped laughing and donned a serious look, waving his hand. “Take them all and treat them nicely. Go search around, don’t let any fish escape.”
“Yes.”
They were all tied up then, and someone looked to the Alliance Master Mansion which was still quiet. “Did Qing Luo cooperate with you?”
If Qing Luo hadn’t stood out and admitted it, how would they have gathered here today?
Qing Luo didn’t collude with the Demonic Sect… but the government office?
No no no… Perhaps the Demonic Sect also colluded with the government office.
Everyone’s expressions became even uglier when realizing this.
The top powers in the entire pugilist world all gathered here today, and they were all caught. What would happen next? What would the imperial court do to them?
“Qing Luo?” The man squinted his eyes. “Your alliance master? I’m not afraid to tell you that your alliance master has nothing to do with us… But, she actually helped us a lot.”
Hearing that she had nothing to do with the government office, they didn’t dare believe it, either.
If she didn’t collude with the imperial court, she must have colluded with the Demonic Sect.
“You’re the imperial court’s flunkies, what do you want to do to us!”
“Little bastard, release your grandpa if you dare…”
“Son of a bitch, you only know to attack behind people’s backs…”
Those who still had some strength left began to curse aloud one after another.
“You’d better save your strength.” The man sneered and waved his hand. Then some people immediately came up and stuffed something into their mouths.
The man turned around and looked at someone standing in the shadows. “Doctor Ning, the Alliance Master Mansion…”
“Knock on the door,” Doctor Ning said.
The man thought the news had been sent in and his highness might have settled the thing, so he ordered to knock on the door.
The Alliance Master Mansion’s gate opened accordingly. The servants filed out with lanterns as if they had been ready for some time and had just been waiting for them to knock on the door.
The girl appeared slowly with her people, lights and shadows swaying.
The man looked at Rong Li beside Ming Shu dumbfoundedly. “Your Highness, what’s going on?”
Why were the Alliance Master Mansion’s people all fine?
Meanwhile, the Alliance Master Mansion’s people looked at Rong Li with confusion. His Highness?
Rong Li moved closer to Ming Shu and rolled his eyes in his heart. Why would I harm my wife for you mortal people.
Seeing this, the man got very angry. “Your Highness, have you been bewitched by her and forgotten your own task?”
Rong Li remained silent and just moved back to hide behind Ming Shu.
The man: “…”
Ming Shu reached out to hold Rong Li’s hand, her fingers passing through his, and clasped their hands together.
Rong Li revealed smiling eyes and shrank behind Ming Shu even more.
“Go back inside.”
Rong Li’s smile froze.
“Be good.”
Rong Li had to reluctantly go back into the Alliance Master Mansion.
Ming Shu swept her gaze over the people outside casually, smiling. “You had a fight in my Alliance Master Mansion’s territory and you must pay the venue fee. Who should I ask for the money from?”
“Looks like His Highness hasn’t finished the task.” Doctor Ning stepped out of the dark and looked along the light.
Judging by his psychotic smile, Ming Shu knew who he was without needing to guess.
“You dare come again.”
“Why not.” Luo Yan continued walking forward and exposed himself totally in the light. “I was very much looking forward to meeting you.”
“Were you looking forward to a different death this time?”
Luo Yan put his index finger on his lips. “That’s not cute. How can you talk about such bloody things when we just met?”
“If I want to be cute, I’ll be cute enough to scare myself.” Ming Shu praised herself calmly.
Luo Yan seemed to choke.
A moment later, he revealed a surprised face. “I want to ask you a question. How did you know?”
He changed the topic very naturally without feeling weird… the hell.
Ming Shu smiled and then said, “Don’t you know everything? Just guess.”
Luo Yan: “…”
If he could guess, why would he ask her.
Luo Yan didn’t ask further about how exactly Ming Shu discovered he had played tricks.
He said, “Be a good girl and give me the thing, I won’t cause trouble for you then. What do you say?”
Ming Shu asked while knowing the answer, “What thing?”
Luo Yan winked at Ming Shu. “There’s no need to be so polite between us, don’t you know what thing I’m talking about?”
His vague tone sounded like there was some kind of close relationship between them.
Ming Shu turned over her wrist and threw something toward Luo Yan. “Here you are.”
The golden light flashed past and Luo Yan caught it unconsciously.
Rumble—
In the thick and billowing smoke, Luo Yan’s tall figure was stained in total black. His clothes were broken and his hair stood upright; he opened his mouth and let out a puff of dark smoke.
“Do you like it? I have more.” Ming Shu’s light voice squeezed into Luo Yan’s ears through the buzzing tinnitus and pierced into his heart.
Luo Yan clenched both hands.
Then he took out a snow-white handkerchief from nowhere and wiped his dark face. There was still a psychotic smile at his mouth. “You’re not lovable at all in this way.”
