Chapter 1405 - 1408: Fulfilling the Wager

Facing Nun Miaoyu’s questioning, Master Kuzhu just gave a bitter smile. Rationally, she didn’t believe Lin Feng could beat Ci Yun in a completely fair match, but she had just seen clearly that not only did Lin Feng defeat Ci Yun, he also severely injured her with Tianji Sect’s Guiyuan Finger, while Ci Yun’s Nianhua Finger didn’t even get a chance to be used!

"Senior Sister Miaoyu, I also find it hard to believe this is real. But you were already restraining Old Man Xu, and I was closely watching Tang Rou. Neither of them interfered with that kid and Ci Yun’s match, so who could have affected their duel’s outcome?!" Master Kuzhu glanced at Miaoyu and asked indifferently.

Miaoyu was stunned for a moment, then her expression turned peculiar as she glanced at Ci Yun, trying to control her turbulent emotions, pondering how to handle the next situation... According to the duel agreement between Ci Yun and Lin Feng, Ci Yun has now lost, meaning not only must she and Kuzhu leave immediately, but Ci Yun also has to stay in Jiangzhou for a while to teach Tang Rou martial arts?!

This was a result Master Miaoyu absolutely could not accept! Not to mention she would never abandon Ci Yun, her outstanding junior Sister, even if she could harden her heart, Wunian Nunnery’s reputation is still very important. If they leave like this, Wunian Nunnery might become notorious in the cultivation world!

However, as Miaoyu glanced at Lin Feng and Xu Yishan, who were watching like tigers eyeing their prey, she felt helpless; Ci Yun was already injured. Even if she and Master Kuzhu could barely withstand Lin Feng and Xu Yishan, the equally Innate-level Tang Rou and the Longfeng Martial Hall followers, who would have the energy to resist?!

At this moment, Master Miaoyu felt she was caught in a dilemma!

At this time, Master Ci Yun, barely controlling her injuries, spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Senior Sister Miaoyu... you... let me stay here!"

"Ci Yun, what are you saying? Are you crazy? How can we leave you in Jiangzhou?" Miaoyu looked at Master Ci Yun in shock. She couldn’t believe Master Ci Yun would actively request to stay... was Ci Yun suddenly showing a change of heart by voluntarily fulfilling the bet?!

Of course, Master Ci Yun hadn’t suddenly changed... she was completely terrified of Lin Feng!

In Master Ci Yun’s mind, things were very clear and simple... now that she had lost to Lin Feng, if she refused to fulfill the bet, Lin Feng and Xu Yishan and their people would have enough reason to attack them! If her two senior sisters could win, great, they could naturally return to Harbor City smoothly, report back to Wunian Nunnery about the matters in Jiangzhou, and then let the Sect Leader senior sister handle the subsequent affairs... However, Master Ci Yun knows that with Miaoyu and Kuzhu’s skills, their chance to leave smoothly is very slim!

A young Lin Feng was already so terrifying, who knows how strong Xu Yishan, who’s been famous in Jiangzhou for decades, would be? If Miaoyu and Kuzhu lost, their side’s three might not be able to leave Jiangzhou, then it would truly be dying without anyone knowing!

Master Ci Yun thought of such an outcome and felt a deep sense of fear, so she would rather pretend to be generous, let Miaoyu and Kuzhu return to the sect first. With the sect knowing the event’s process, they would definitely send people to rescue her, at that time, at least her little life could be saved!

Even though such a choice loses face, unfortunately, Master Ci Yun is not a man obsessed with reputation to the point of self-imposed suffering, naturally not thinking too much about the consequences... she would rather save her life first!

"Senior Sister Miaoyu, Senior Sister Kuzhu... you don’t need to persuade further, my decision is made!" Ci Yun’s face showed a deep sense of compassion, saying heroically, "Since this issue started because of me, naturally I’ll have to bear the consequences. My skills are inferior, fulfilling the bet is only rightfully so! Please, two Senior Sisters, return to the nunnery swiftly and inform the Sect Leader Senior Sister of the situation here, let her handle the follow-up accordingly!"

"Ci Yun!" Miaoyu’s expression turned hurried.

"Senior Sister Miaoyu..." Master Kuzhu reacted; she understood the hint in Ci Yun’s words, gently reminded Master Miaoyu, "Since Ci Yun has said so, let’s return to the nunnery first, to discuss with the Sect Leader Senior Sister, and then come back to take Ci Yun back to Harbor City!"

Although Miaoyu was slow to understand, when she heard Ci Yun and Kuzhu both advise her in this manner, she finally understood her two junior sisters’ meaning... enduring momentary lack of peace for long-term tranquility!

"But..." Miaoyu swept a vengeful gaze at Lin Feng and Xu Yishan, showing great unwillingness on her face. Although she understood this reasoning, how could she swallow this affront, let alone leave Ci Yun behind, which was simply a great shame!

"Oh, if you ask me, instead of talking so much nonsense, you should find a way to stop the old nun’s bleeding first. She’s probably almost dying, right..." At this moment, Lu Zhanpeng couldn’t help but speak up in a teasing tone, looking quite proudly at Master Ci Yun, schadenfreude evident in his smile, appearing quite punchable!

But, Lu Zhanpeng did it on purpose, because just now Ci Yun the old nun was so fierce, almost costing him his life...

"You... shut up!" Miaoyu glared at Lu Zhanpeng, about to lose her temper, although she knew their side did not hold the advantage now, they were still Innate-level masters, not someone like Lu Zhanpeng, a minor henchman, could ridicule arbitrarily!

"Haha... embarrassed and furious? I’m still not shutting up, let’s see what you can do to me?" Reliant on Lin Feng covering him, Lu Zhanpeng indeed didn’t give Master Miaoyu a shred of face!

"Dapeng... It’s better for you to hold your tongue for a while!" At this time, Lin Feng finally casually spoke, languidly advising Lu Zhanpeng.

Lu Zhanpeng didn’t dare to disobey Lin Feng’s words, even if he didn’t give face to the few old nuns from Wunian Nunnery. He chuckled, somewhat reluctantly, and spoke to Lin Feng, "Alright, Master. Since you’ve spoken, of course, I will shut up..."

Master Miaoyu was somewhat surprised to see Lin Feng, she really didn’t expect Lin Feng would still be considerate enough to make Lu Zhanpeng close his mouth... What face-saving grace for them!

Then, at this time, Lin Feng showed a warm smile, reassuringly said to Lu Zhanpeng in a low voice, "After all, they are masters, they need to save face. If you don’t give them a step down, they’ll accuse you of not understanding human feelings..."

Lu Zhanpeng was slightly dazed, instantly realized Lin Feng was deliberately seizing the opportunity to mock the three nuns, responded immediately, chuckled, "Indeed, master, you are right, I was too impulsive, should leave the guests some face..."

Then, Lin Feng still maintained a calm expression, turned to look at Master Miaoyu, smilingly asked, "Master Miaoyu, do you think I make sense?"

Miaoyu was almost exploding with anger, she didn’t expect Lin Feng would be so merciless, humiliating them in this way!
