210 . 2 – If I Were a Grandmaster

  Xue Qilin turned her gaze and looked into the alley .

  The shorty’s subordinates, who fell on the ground, have all spat out black blood . They evidently have poisoned themselves .

  Were they the so-called death warriors? With their lives only existing for “a certain person”, they were tools for another person to achieve their wishes and reach their goals .

  Is life revolving around the word “loyalty” really meaningful?

  Maybe, maybe not . But, Xue Qilin thinks that it is not, since their actions were not for themselves .

  “Oh, shoot . How do I deal with this?”


  Xue Qilin scratched her head and sighed .

  However, in this world, there has never been a lack of people greedy for life and fearful of death .

  “Well, what do you think? How do I deal with this? I don’t want to get into trouble!”


  Xue Qilin’s eyes suddenly fell on the scholar lying in the allay .

  Sensing Xue Qilin’s gaze, the scholar, who was supposed to be poisoned like his companion, suddenly shivered . Obviously, he is not dead, since the dead don’t move . He’s just pretending to be dead .

  But, the sounds of his breathing, his heartbeat, and the pulse of his blood vessels cannot escape the perception of a late-stage Heaven Realm master — at least not with his Human Realm and not at this distance .

  “Hey, your companions are all dead, yet you are dragging out an ignoble existence . Are you that afraid of dying?”


  It looks like the scholar plans to continue to pretend to be dead .

  Xue Qilin gently stroked the shorty’s face and closed his eyes that have lost all vitality . Then, she stood up and approached the scholar with light yet unexpectedly sonorous steps . Every step she took made the scholar shiver .

  When the sound of footstep stopped and Xue Qilin halted beside the scholar —


  “Don’t kill me!”


  He shot up to his feet, yelled for mercy, and ran away .

  “What are you running for…… that hurts my feelings . Am I that scary? Boo hoo –!”


  Xue Qilin pretended to cry, and then started running herself . Within his occupational standard and realm, the scholar is quite fast . But he still cannot get way from the petite lass following behind him .

  “Tsk, why can’t I get away?”


  The scholar clicked his tongue and turned a corner in a hurry .

  “Loli kick, upgraded!”


  Xue Qilin shouted, and then jumped abruptly, kicked the scholar in the buttocks, and sent him flying . The scholar made sound similar to a frog being squashed and tumbled to the ground .

  “Cough, cough……”


  The scholar propped himself up and coughed up the earth in his mouth .

  “So, how was it? Is the earth delicious?”


  Xue Qilin stopped behind the scholar, placed a hand on her hips, and cast the scholar, who is in an embarrassing situation, a scornful look .

  “Older Sister Xue, stop with the teasing . Let me ask him some questions first . ”


  Under the protection of a dozen plus armed guards, Gong Tianyang sitting in a wheelchair, with an Earth Realm guard pushing him, appeared from the other end of the alley . The sound of wooden wheels turning slowly drew closer .

  The scholar, who finally succeeded to calm his messy breathing, raised his head, and many swords entered his eyes at once .

  With a pack of wolves in front and a tiger behind, he could not escape…… probably because he realized this, his complexion was doused in the color of despair .

  Almost there .

  Xue Qilin curved the corners of her mouth, intending to push the scholar more, so that his mouth is loosened .

  “Oh, you mean to say that I can play with him as much as I want after you pry open his mouth?”


  “Hey, Older Sister Xue is so naughty . ” Gong Tianyang shook his head in perplexion at first, then smiled meaningfully, “It depends on whether he cooperates or not . If he doesn’t cooperate, then let’s go with Older Sister Xue’s idea . ”


  Next, Gong Tian Qing held his right cheek and sighed .

  “I heard Older Sister Xue wants to try out ‘lingchi‘? Although it’s not an interest worth promoting, but if Older Sister Xue likes it, then I won’t stay in the way . ”


  Xue Qilin assumed an expression of “it’s not like that” and waved her hands .

  “No, no, I think castration is the way to go . After all, didn’t he say a short while ago that he wants to play with me? Let’s just break his — toys!”


  Xue Qilin looked at the scholar’s crotch and made a gesture of swinging down a knife . The scholar, who just so happened to look at her, winced with his abdomen nervously .

  She went around the scholar, squatted down, looked at him, and issued two vicious laughs .

  “This way, let’s see how you can play with me . ”


  With that, she grinned, and then took out a sharp dagger from somewhere and played with it in front of the scholar .

  “Hmm……” Gong Tianyang touched his chin and contemplated, “Reportedly, the palace is short of people these days . If Older Sister Xue really intends to castrate him, then we can send him to the palace to serve His Holiness . ”


  Gong Tianyang talks a lot of drivel . Xue Qilin rolled her eyes .

  The scholar, who cannot even make a sound, shook his head vigorously .

  “Why, isn’t it good to enter the palace? If you perform well, you may be conferred a title of eunuch . Others will really envy you . ”


  Xue Qilin propped her face up with a hand, grinned, and said thusly .

  The scholar, looking like his mouth is stuffed with awful tasting medicine, put up his hands and waved in a panic .

  “Wait — wait!”


  “Oh, what do you want to wait for? There is no time to lose! What if I change my mind later and want to cut some other place — like your neck, what then?” Xue Qilin sighed in vexation, “If His Holiness loses a future good helper because of this, won’t I be in trouble . ”


  Finally, unable to bear the threats from Xue Qilin and Gong Tianyang, the scholar yelled out in resignation, “Okay, I’ll speak, I’ll speak!”


  “That’s a good boy . ”


  Xue Qilin patted the scholar’s face with the dagger’s blade . The latter stared at cold sheen at the dagger’s edge and swallowed subconsciously .

  “Gong Tianyang, he’s yours . ”


  Xue Qilin looked back and shouted this to Gong Tianyang .

  Before she got up, she gave the scholar a big smile, which prompted the other party to wince .

  “What a coward . ”


  Xue Qilin pouted and snorted .

  She got out of the way and let Gong Tianyang, who was being pushed by the guard, occupy her position .

  “Take your arm off, I want to sit . ”


  Xue Qilin pushes Gong Tianyang’s right arm off the wheelchair’s armrest, then sat down, crossed her legs, and looked at the scholar . The guards, who appear to think that Xue Qilin’s manner is lacking, stared at her, but then didn’t say anything .

  Gong Tianyang plastered a innocent smile on his face, looked at the scholar sitting on the ground, and asked in a soft voice, “I have only one question, who is your master?”


  “.……”


  Now that things have reached this point, the scholar hesitated .

  The person behind him either has the power to frighten anyone who wants to betray them, or they have the charm that makes it hard for others to betray them .

  Gong Tianyang showed a look of disappointment .

  “It doesn’t matter if you don’t answer . After all, I am fairly patient . Older Sister Xue sitting next to me, however, is rather rash — right, Older Sister Xue?”
