Chapter 99: Don't be like this, I'm your sister!
"Senior Sister, I think we were betrayed by Gu Cheng this time, and I cannot swallow this insult."
Jiang Xun turned his head to look at Ming Ning and said.
"They still have at least three Nascent Soul cultivators on their side, plus over a dozen disciples; what do you intend to do?"
Ming Ning turned to her side, opened her eyes, and looked at Jiang Xun.
"Call Master to come?"
Tu Qing said.
"Master is currently in seclusion with Grandmaster, I'm afraid she cannot come."
Jiang Xun shook his head.
At this time, Ruo Lan was not yet the Sect Master.
It was only after the current Sect Master went missing about two hundred years later that Ruo Lan became the Sect Master.
"I see that you aren't doing this to kill Gu Cheng, but to take Gu Qing away."
Ming Ning smiled, her gaze already seeing through Jiang Xun's little scheme.
"... That's just something I'd do while I'm at it." Jiang Xun looked at Ming Ning and smiled: "Besides, how can there be no retaliation after being backstabbed by someone?"
"Even if we can't beat those Nascent Soul cultivators, assassinating Gu Cheng should still be doable, right?"
"Let me rest for a while; we will go to Shuiyun City to check the situation tomorrow," Ming Ning said softly.
"That is only natural; we will go whenever Senior Sister has recovered," Jiang Xun nodded.
Upon hearing this, Yin Ningyu was very anxious; she was afraid that Liang Ru and the others had already met with a tragic fate.
"Don't worry, they are all heavily injured; the Tianwu Sect won't make a move on them for the time being, and will instead give them treatment first."
Jiang Xun looked at the restless Yin Ningyu and said.
"But I am still very worried... those people from the Tianwu Sect are all animals; perhaps they don't care at all?"
Yin Ningyu raised her eyes to look at Jiang Xun, her tone full of anxiety.
Along this journey, no matter which disciple of the Baihua Sect she sent a message to, she had not received any response.
"Then notify your Master to come over."
Jiang Xun smiled.
"My Master... if my Master comes, won't you all be unable to escape?"
Yin Ningyu said with her head lowered.
How could she not have thought of notifying her Master to come, but Jiang Xun had just saved her life.
Although Jiang Xun saved her, the disciples of the Baihua Sect were also beaten into critical condition by the Lingerie-Sect, and Zhong Lingqing would certainly not let them off when the time came.
Therefore, after thinking it over repeatedly, Yin Ningyu still did not notify Zhong Lingqing to come.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xun was also very surprised; he did not expect that her reason for not notifying Zhong Lingqing was actually because of them.
And Jiang Xun's previous sentence was also a probe; if Yin Ningyu had already notified Zhong Lingqing, then there would be nothing more to say, and Jiang Xun would directly take Ming Ning and Tu Qing and run.
Revenge could be discussed later.
After all, that Zhong Lingqing was at the Spirit Transformation Late Stage; if she came, none of them would be able to escape.
"In consideration of you thinking of us, if there is a chance, we will help you," Ming Ning said upon hearing this.
"Senior Sister, you stay here, I will go over first to check the situation."
Jiang Xun then stood up and said.
"I will go with you."
Yin Ningyu hurriedly stood up.
"You shouldn't go; two people make too big a target."
Jiang Xun waved his hand, and after speaking, he directly flew away on his sword.
"Rest assured, that little rascal will be fine."
Ming Ning looked at Yin Ningyu's worried expression and said: "You two, it seems your relationship is quite good?"
"No... no."
Yin Ningyu felt guilty at once and shook her head repeatedly.
They had already kissed to that extent, and her body had almost been seen completely...
This kind of relationship, should be considered quite good, right?
After leaving this place, Jiang Xun rushed to Shuiyun City at full speed, changed his attire, stuck on a fake beard, bent his waist, and picked up a tree branch as a cane, disguising himself as an old man.
At that time, Jiang Xun could never have imagined that five hundred years later, he would be an old man even without a disguise.
Jiang Xun leaned on his cane and walked into Shuiyun City, with the Spirit-Avoiding Pendant tucked in his chest; if one didn't look closely, it was hard to tell he wasn't an old man.
It was already dusk, and inside Shuiyun City, in every place Jiang Xun passed, there were commoners discussing what had just happened; it was very lively.
Jiang Xun arrived in front of the City Lord Mansion, where there were still heavy guards; Jiang Xun could only pace back and forth pretending to pass by, and inside the City Lord Mansion, there was indeed the aura of cultivators.
If this was true, the entire City Lord Mansion was likely already under Gu Cheng's control, and the situation for Gu Junshou and the others must not be very good right now.
"Brother! Brother! What are you doing!"
Just at this moment, a woman's shouting came from inside the courtyard; Jiang Xun could not help but stop his steps, and the soldiers at the gate also looked inside curiously.
"What are you looking at? Stop looking, stop looking!"
Zhang Wu hurriedly walked out from inside, slapped the soldiers on the head a few times, and then pointed at Jiang Xun: "What are you looking at! Get moving!"
"Eh, eh, alright, alright." Jiang Xun nodded repeatedly and walked to the side.
"Brother, don't be like this, I am your sister!"
Inside the room, Gu Qing was shoved to the ground by Gu Cheng, and her clothes were torn.
"What? You were willing to go seduce that Hehuan Young Master last night, and now you're acting all pure with me?"
Gu Cheng tossed the strip of torn cloth in his hand aside and leered, "Forget about you, eventually even your mother will have to work hard under my crotch!"
"Brother, how could you be like this! Where have you locked up Father?"
Gu Qing asked, looking at Gu Cheng with tear-filled eyes.
"That is not for you to worry about!"
After saying this, Gu Cheng lunged forward, grabbed Gu Qing by the neck, and dragged her toward the bed, making Gu Qing nearly unable to breathe, forcing her to kick her legs to find some relief.
She was then thrown onto the bed by Gu Cheng, who pounced on her like a wolf or a tiger.
"Gu..."
After Jiang Xun left the soldiers' line of sight, he immediately climbed over the wall and entered the room; seeing this scene, he was just about to strike when he saw Gu Qing pull the White Hairpin from her head and stab it directly into Gu Cheng's throat.
She then pulled it out and stabbed Gu Cheng's neck more than a dozen times in succession.
The entire neck was poked until it looked like a sieve.
Gu Cheng also widened his eyes, clutched his neck, and with an expression of disbelief, leaned backward from the bed and fell to the floor.
He never imagined that Gu Qing, this little white rabbit, would actually dare to commit murder.
Jiang Xun also did not expect that Gu Qing's strike would be so steady, accurate, and ruthless, leaving Gu Cheng without even a chance to make a sound.
"Im... Immortal Master..."
Holding the blood-stained White Hairpin, her face full of tears, her clothes in disarray, and her body trembling uncontrollably, Gu Qing saw Jiang Xun standing at the doorway.
Although Jiang Xun was wearing a disguise, Gu Qing recognized him the moment she saw his eyes.
"I arrived a step late, my apologies."
Jiang Xun said as he looked at Gu Qing.
"You..." Gu Qing suddenly thought of something, and regardless of the fear of having killed someone, she hurriedly got up, dropped the hairpin, ran to Jiang Xun, and grabbed him to run outside: "Immortal Master, you must leave quickly! Those people who were chasing you are all in the manor now!"
"Don't panic, I wasn't discovered when I came in." Jiang Xun grabbed Gu Qing's wrist in return and pulled her back: "That beast didn't do anything to you, did he?"
"He didn't have the chance yet..." Gu Qing looked back and nodded at Jiang Xun.
"That's good." Jiang Xun nodded and looked at Gu Qing with a serious expression: "Are you willing to become my disciple?"
