Only the sound of the wind could be heard in the woods.

  Ming Shu took Lord Zhuo’s sword. She pointed it at Jiang Ling’s red face.

  “Qing Luo, let go of A-Ling!” Lord Zhuo kneeled down on one knee and shouted at Ming Shu.

  The young lord glared at Ming Shu nervously. He was afraid that once Ming Shu exerted some force, Jiang Ling would be killed.

  Even if he teamed up with Lord Zhuo, they would not be able to win against this young girl……

  “Don’t be afraid.” Ming Shu lowered her sword and placed it beside Jiang Ling’s neck. “I am a reasonable person.”


  Lord Zhuo and the young lord were speechless.

  “A-Ling, don’t be afraid.” Lord Zhuo comforted Jiang Ling. “Qing Luo, can you let go of A-Ling?”


  The young lord shouted too: “There are no grudges between the two of you! Why are you treating her like this?”


  “We have no grudges?” Ming Shu smiled gently. “If we have no grudges, why are you after my position as the alliance master?”


  Lord Zhuo’s expression changed.

  She knew everything……

  “Qing Luo, it was my fault. A-Ling did it for me,” Lord Zhuo said. “If you bear a grudge, look for me. Let go of A-Ling.”


  “Where is your brain?” Ming Shu narrowed her eyes and looked at him. “Is there a need to take my position to take revenge? You can just kill me, right? Are you saying that you never suspected her motives at all? I think that people who practice sword skills not only enter the devil realm, your brains are lost too.”


  Lord Zhuo froze on the spot.

  He looked at Jiang Ling awkwardly.

  The words that Jiang Ling said flashed across his mind.

  “Brother Zhuo, don’t listen to her.” Jiang Ling was afraid. “She is just trying to sow discord between us. Brother Zhuo, I really like you. Don’t you feel it?”


  How could he suspect A-Ling?

  A-Ling did everything for him.

  “If you really like him, why are you with the young lord?” Ming Shu raised her eyebrows and looked at the young lord. “This kind of love is rare.”


  Lord Zhuo’s expression froze again.

  Jiang Ling’s men were able to live together in the future because she successfully brainwashed them. However, she had not been able to do this yet so if Lord Zhuo accepted her now, she could only say that the protagonist’s aura was too bright.

  “Brother Zhuo, it is…… it is not like this. Don’t listen to her. Brother Zhuo, you must believe me.”


  Lord Zhuo didn’t change his expression. His gaze was complicated.

  He slowly clenched his fist.

  “Sigh……” Ming Shu sniggered as she looked at Jiang Ling. “Come on, little cutie, I will talk some sense into you.”


  “Stop!” The young lord’s scream woke Lord Zhuo up. “Qing Luo, stop what you are doing.”


  How could Ming Shu let go of such a good opportunity?

  She pinned Jiang Ling down on the ground and gave her a beating.

  Ming Shu brushed off her hands and stood up. Jiang Ling was lying weakly on the ground. Her white clothes were stained with grass and soil. Her hair was a mess and she looked quite pitiful.

  “See you next time.”


  Ming Shu walked away. As she stepped into the bushes, she turned her head and smiled brightly. “I am looking forward to it.”


  Jiang Ling’s dug her hands into the soil and clenched her fingers. Her nails cracked due to the force. However, she didn’t notice it.

  Blood stained the soil.

  “Ling’er, Ling’er, how are you……” The young lord rushed over to Jiang Ling’er. As a man, he was unable to protect his woman when she was beaten. You could imagine what he was feeling at this time.

  “I…… I am fine.”


  Jiang Ling gritted her teeth as she squeezed the words out of her mouth.

  “Ling’er, don’t worry. I will take revenge for you.”


  Jiang Ling nodded her head weakly. She looked down. The young lord didn’t see the viciousness on her face.

  “Brother Zhuo……”


  When she raised her head again, she had regained her pitiful look. “A-Ling is in pain……”


  Lord Zhuo was in a daze. He suddenly felt as though he was hypnotized and crawled toward Jiang Ling. “A-Ling, where are you hurting? Don’t be scared. I will take you to a physician now.”


  Jiang Ling wept beautifully. “Qing Luo……”


  Lord Zhuo said firmly, “A-Ling, don’t worry. I will catch Qing Luo and make sure that you get your revenge. I will make her pay back everything she did to you.”
……

  Ming Shu didn’t know that they were discussing her. If she knew, she would be elated.

  Ming Shu felt that she was unlucky.

  She met trouble on her way back.

  The troublesome sect leader: “.……”


  The sect leader was lying on the ground with blood all over him. There was blood on his clothes and body too. Ming Shu didn’t know if it was his or other people’s blood.

  The sect leader’s face was pale. He stared at the person who stepped on him.

  “Why are you lying here? Are you waiting for people to collect your corpse?” Ming Shu retracted her foot.

  The sect leader panted. He had no energy to move. “Can I trouble you to take me back then?”


  “Are you dreaming? You didn’t manage to beat Jiang Ling up. Also, you said that you would treat me to food……”


  A few bloodstained banknotes appeared in front of Ming Shu.

  Ming Shu looked at them with disdain. However, she still took them. They couldn’t be eaten, but she could buy snacks with them.

  She grabbed the sect leader’s collar and lifted him up. “Did your disciples run away without you? Did they rebel?”


  “They asked me to leave first…… be gentle…… are you trying to kill me!” The sect leader screamed in pain.

  “You are a man. Why can’t you bear with this pain? You can’t make it.”


  “Why don’t you try and get such injuries!” He got stabbed a few times but he was still able to remain conscious. It was already an impressive feat.

  Ming Shu smiled arrogantly. “I am not as weak as you. I will not get so seriously injured.”


  “You……” The sect leader was so angry he forgot to breathe. “You will suffer one day.”


  “Oh? Can suffering be eaten?”


  “.……”


  The sect leader’s eyes rolled and he fainted from anger.

  Ming Shu placed her hands on her hips. After a while, she grabbed the sect leader’s legs and dragged him back.

  When the sect leader woke up, he realized that his injury got worse. His face was also scarred.

  What did this woman do to him!

  Ming Shu ate her drumstick calmly as she faced the sect leader’s murderous gaze. She started spouting nonsense, “When I was carrying you back, I met two heroes. You got hit by them.”


  “.……”

  Which hero would be so unscrupulous and hit him on the face!

  The sect leader looked at his body. Luckily, his wounds had been treated. At least she didn’t take his money and not do anything.

  He was lying in a horse carriage currently. The carriage was moving.

  The carriage was only this big so the sect leader could see everything inside. He didn’t see Rong Li.

  The sect leader took out a few bank botes. “Can you help me one more time?”


  Ming Shu took the banknotes, but the sect leader didn’t let go. Ming Shu looked at him. The sect leader said, “Are you not going to ask me what it is first?”


  “Besides asking me to kill someone personally, anything is fine.”


  The sect leader: ???

  Did that mean that he could ask her to kill someone?

  He was the Demonic Sect’s leader!

  The sect leader let go of the banknotes. Ming Shu happily placed them into her sleeve.

  “Please send me to Luo City.”
