Chapter 73: Turning Hostile Instantly

He Lu followed Liu Shuang toward the foot of the mountain. Just as they left Until Hong Zun's cave dwelling, they happened to run into Xu Jie.

Seeing Liu Shuang and the other, Xu Jie greeted them proactively.

"Second Senior Sister, what are you..."

"People from the Luoxia Sect. They say they have a marriage contract with a chore disciple of my Divine Sword Peak and came to find Master to break it off."

Liu Shuang replied indifferently. Hearing this, Xu Jie glanced at He Lu.

Facing Xu Jie, who was dressed in white and had an outstanding temperament, He Lu's face flushed slightly, and she lowered her head, shyly saying.

"He Lu greets Senior Brother."

Nodding casually, Xu Jie turned to look at Liu Shuang and said.

"Then let's go together; it's on the way."

Xu Jie intended to go to the kitchen. Although it was still early, there was nothing to do, so going to grab a spot wouldn't be a loss.

Hearing this, Liu Shuang did not object, and the three traveled together. However, along the way, He Lu kept secretly sizing up Xu Jie.

This was a direct disciple of the Dao Yi Sect; truly a young talent. The future Dao companion of her, He Lu, must also be such a dragon among men.

He Lu thought secretly, but Xu Jie had no intention of paying her any mind at all.

When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, the dozen or so Luoxia Sect disciples who had come with He Lu were already waiting there.

They were inner disciples of the Luoxia Sect and naturally had no qualifications to enter Until Hong Zun's cave dwelling, so they were directly arranged to rest in the guest rooms on the mountainside.

Now waiting for He Lu, everyone expressed their desire to go with her, and one disciple even said unscrupulously.

"Senior Sister, rest assured. With us here this time, we will definitely make that kid know when to retreat."

"Exactly. A toad wanting to eat swan meat—how could a mere chore disciple be worthy of Senior Sister He Lu?"

These disciples' words were full of disdain for Ye Changqing. It was just that they didn't realize at all that this was the Dao Yi Sect's territory. On someone else's territory, in front of them, to humiliate a Dao Yi Sect disciple so...

Even if he was just a chore disciple, he was, after all, a person of the Dao Yi Sect.

Therefore, hearing these words, Liu Shuang snorted coldly, and a chill emanated from her body.

Feeling a burst of ice-cold air, the Luoxia Sect disciples realized they had said the wrong thing and shut their mouths one after another. He Lu even took the initiative to apologize.

"Senior Sister, please forgive us. That's not what they meant."

"Do not let me hear similar words again. Also, if you want to break off the engagement, you must provide compensation."

Hearing this, Liu Shuang looked coldly at He Lu. She hadn't had any thoughts before, but now, if He Lu wanted to break off the engagement, she had to provide compensation.

To this, He Lu nodded without hesitation.

"Senior Sister is right."

Without paying any more attention to these Luoxia Sect disciples, Liu Shuang continued toward the foot of the mountain, while the Luoxia Sect disciples behind her were now all trembling in fear, not daring to say another word. ===== CHAPTER 74 =====
