Chapter 838: The honor of a lifetime, still charming

Zhou Zhiruo was startled upon hearing this, and the smile on her face deepened. "To be able to get to know such an expert as you is truly the honor of my lifetime!"

"Not at all, we are just chance acquaintances!" Su Hang said indifferently. "Let's go, take me to see that Master."

"En!" Zhou Zhiruo nodded heavily. "Young Master Su, follow me."

A moment later, Zhou Zhiruo brought Su Hang to a sect in the northwest direction. The front of the small courtyard was planted with peach trees, beautiful with red flowers and green willows.

Pushing open the wooden door, the two walked into the room.

The room was not large, with a low table, a set of wooden stools, and a row of bookshelves against the wall, on which various classics were placed.

In addition, there were several porcelain bottles, some of which were empty, while others were stuffed full.

077 Beside the table, a woman sat upright.

She was wearing a green gauze dress, and although she was already of age, one could see she was still charming. At this moment, her eyes were tightly closed, and her brows were tightly locked.

Zhou Zhiruo walked to the woman's side and called out respectfully, "Master, I'm back!"

"Zhiruo, you're back?" The woman parted her red lips and asked softly.

Abbess Miejue turned around, her originally expressionless face showing some surprise after seeing Su Hang. "It's you, Young Master Su, why is it you?"

Su Hang nodded slightly to signal, his gaze falling on the teacup in front of her. "Master, drinking tea?"

"Oh, right, let's drink tea first." Abbess Miejue reacted and hurriedly picked up the teacup on the table to take two sips.

"Master, let me introduce you. This is Young Master Su, who saved my life." Zhou Zhiruo pointed at Su Hang, then explained to Su Hang, "Young Master Su, my Master doesn't talk much on weekdays. She is the leader of our Emei Sect, Abbess Miejue!"

"Abbess Miejue, I am Su Hang!" Su Hang cupped his hands.

Abbess Miejue nodded, glanced at Su Hang expressionlessly, and then moved her gaze away.

Su Hang paused; it seemed this Master was indeed not easy to deal with.

Zhou Zhiruo sat down beside Abbess Miejue. "Master, what's wrong with you?"

Abbess Miejue let out a long, turbid breath. "Sigh, this illness is strange. It flares up every three days, and every time it flares up, my whole body feels unbearably hot, and there is fire in my heart, making it impossible to calm down and rest."

"Ah?" Zhou Zhiruo was taken aback. "How could this be? Master, perhaps the disciple can suppress the toxins in your body."

Abbess Miejue shook her head, not saying much to Zhou Zhiruo. "I know my own body. I'm afraid this illness will only last these few days."

Zhou Zhiruo was stunned upon hearing this, a look of sorrow appearing on her face.

"Master, how could you get this illness? Did someone harm you?" Zhou Zhiruo said indignantly.

"Hmph!" Abbess Miejue snorted coldly. "Isn't it all caused by those bastards!"

Mentioning this, Abbess Miejue was filled with anger.

"Uh..." Zhou Zhiruo looked at Abbess Miejue in surprise. "Who exactly harmed you? I'll go kill them right now!"

"Sigh!"

Abbess Miejue sighed, but her gaze stared hotly at Su Hang. "You are that famous Young Master Su?"

Su Hang paused. "It is I!"

"Young Master Su, I have a grievance that needs your help to uphold justice!" Abbess Miejue said urgently.

Su Hang was stunned. "A grievance?"

Abbess Miejue nodded. "I have three direct disciples, all of whom died at the hands of a mysterious old man!"

"A mysterious old man?" Su Hang was puzzled. ===== CHAPTER 840 =====
