Chapter 1379: I Want to Watch the Scenery

~7 min read 1,241 words

"Scenery." Liu Ruxi spat out two words: "I am looking at it on behalf of Liu Lianxin."

"Good." Chen Yu nodded. The woman before him could be regarded as Liu Ruxi, or she could be regarded as Liu Lianxin.

She could also be regarded as a third person, because after the two people's personalities and consciousnesses merged, she was already a third person.

"Liu Ruxi has awakened?" Inside a clubhouse, Zhou Xianzong gritted his teeth and said: "How could this happen? We hadn't even had a chance to make a move yet, how could she have awakened?"

"Senior Brother, what do we do now?" A woman, who should be Zhou Xianzong's Junior Sister, said with some worry: "The mission Master gave us this time must be completed."

"This concerns the future layout of our sect. Master even sent the Dream Weaver with us, but now Liu Ruxi has actually awakened. Her Buddha Face Buddha Heart Power is far beyond what we can contend with."

"Junior Sister Li Qing, we have to think of a way now." Zhou Xianzong's expression was terrifyingly gloomy: "She just awakened, and some things haven't fully merged yet. We can take advantage of this opportunity to finish her."

"But the biggest problem right now is that she has Chen Yu by her side. This bastard's strength is too great; we are simply no match for him."

"Why does Chen Yu have to stick his hand into everything? Why does he have to go against us every time?" Li Qing gritted her teeth and said: "He will die a horrible death sooner or later."

"He is just a meddlesome person." Zhou Xianzong gritted his teeth: "When we came out of the sect this time, Master specifically told us to bring the Dream Weaver."

"Now that the Dream Weaver has also been subdued by Chen Yu, we have no way to report back."

"Then what should we do?" Li Qing said with some worry: "This matter is of great importance. After we go back, Master will definitely not let us off easily. We must think of a way."

"The only way is for one person to come forward and take all the responsibility." Zhou Xianzong looked up at his Junior Sister and said with hidden meaning: "Junior Sister, Master has always doted on the two of us."

"But last time, because I had all my Cultivation crippled by Chen Yu, the sect used precious treasures to help me recover my strength. If things are bungled again this time, it will be hard to justify, so..."

"So, you want me to shoulder all the responsibility for this incident?" Li Qing looked up at Zhou Xianzong.

"Yes, you have always been favored by Master, and you haven't made any major mistakes before. Taking on all the responsibility this time won't be a big problem, but I am different."

Zhou Xianzong's expression was somewhat bitter: "If this matter isn't handled well, Master will definitely think there is a problem with my ability, and I will truly fall out of favor in the future. So Junior Sister, will you help me this once?"

"Senior Brother Zhou, it's not that I won't help you." A cold sneer appeared on Li Qing's lips: "But you also know how much is involved in this matter."

"When we left the mountain, several Elders risked damaging their own strength just to awaken a Dream Weaver. This Dream Weaver carries the direction of our sect's strength; the implications are too great."

"Moreover, Liu Lianxin's Green Lotus Jade Bone is also something Master specifically named. This concerns a great secret of our sect. But now the Dream Weaver is dead, and the owner of the Green Lotus Jade Bone has awakened. No matter how you look at it, this doesn't seem like a good thing."

"So, we need to find someone to take the responsibility. One person taking the blame is better than two people being punished together." Zhou Xianzong explained patiently: "Junior Sister, you know my situation now, so it is impossible for me to take the initiative to shoulder the blame."

"So, is it my fate to take this damn responsibility?" Li Qing said coldly: "Senior Brother, don't forget, when we left the sect, everything was centered around you."

"And the several suggestions I made earlier were all rejected by you. The control of the Dream Weaver was also in your hands. If we are talking about responsibility, I think your responsibility is greater, right?"

"Junior Sister, we are all family, there's no need to calculate these things, right?" Zhou Xianzong sighed slightly and said: "Some things were unexpected even for me. Who would have thought Chen Yu would suddenly intervene?"

"And he isn't even afraid of the Dream Weaver, so I have no choice either."

"So this responsibility is still yours to bear. Don't be in such a hurry to push it onto me; I won't take the fall." Li Qing said coldly: "Besides, Senior Brother, do you know why Master sent me to follow you?"

"Why?" Zhou Xianzong was slightly stunned, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"That's because the last incident made Master lose trust in your abilities. Sending me here was to monitor your every move." Li Qing smiled.

"You came to monitor me?" Zhou Xianzong was furious, and a trace of hatred appeared on his face: "Junior Sister, I have always thought I treated you quite well."

"You did treat me well, but Master's orders cannot be disobeyed, Senior Brother." Li Qing sighed slightly and said: "Since it's like this, I can only report everything I know to the sect. As for who should take the responsibility, the Elders in the sect will naturally have a decision."

"Junior Sister, are you really this heartless?" Zhou Xianzong sneered, a trace of killing intent appearing in his eyes.

"It's not that I'm heartless, it's that I think you are truly a piece of trash. I don't know what Master sees in you. Even if you became a cripple, Senior Brother would still exhaust all efforts to save you?" Li Qing sneered: "You've been favored in the sect for so many years; it's long past time for the position to change hands."

"Do you really not care about our fellow-disciple bond at all?" Zhou Xianzong revealed a cold, sinister smile.

"I'm not close to you, why should I care about the fellow-disciple bond?" Li Qing giggled and turned to leave.

Suddenly, a pain struck her back, followed by a chill spreading from her heart.

She looked down in horror, only to see a sword tip protruding from her chest. She had been pierced through the heart from behind.

And there was only Zhou Xianzong behind her; there was no need to guess who had made the move.

"You... you dare, killing a fellow disciple?" Li Qing turned her head in horror, staring fixedly at Zhou Xianzong. She had never dreamed that Zhou Xianzong would actually commit such a lethal act.

"Junior Sister, don't blame me. I really cannot shoulder the responsibility this time, and I cannot afford to." Zhou Xianzong's face was ferocious as he slowly pulled the sword out of her body.

"Master... will not let you go." Li Qing fell to her knees with a thud, staring fixedly at Zhou Xianzong.

"Heh, it doesn't matter." Zhou Xianzong laughed: "Anyway, no one will know who killed you. What if the killer was Chen Yu?"
