Chapter 963: The Alliance Master’s Teachings (8)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Ming Shu delivered news to all the other sects and organizations, stating that she had found the truth about the case of the Qingxu Sect being murdered.
The all of them replied her very officially that—
Since Alliance Master has found the murderer, you should uphold justice for Qingxu Sect; Alliance Master is strict and impartial and we all believe in you.
Ming Shu: ???
Before, you delivered your messages and didn’t show any sign of trust!
Will they scheme something evil in secret together and try to s.n.a.t.c.h my snacks?
Ming Shu tightly gripped the grapes in her arms.
Steamed Bun raised his hand quietly. “Master, it seems they’ve really found the divine sword…”
Divine sword? What divine sword?
Steamed Bun said the news he spread out was about the divine sword of legend.
“Didn’t you spread out fake news?”
“Yes… I don’t know…” Steamed Bun was confused as well. He didn’t know how people really found it.
If you say it’s a coincidence…
This was simply too dramatic.
“The human heart is sinister.”
Steamed Bun agreed.
Ming Shu ordered them to hand over the murderer to the only survivors of Qingxu Sect, who had been healing their wounds in the Alliance Master Mansion.
The disciples clearly didn’t expect that it was not the Demonic Sect who had eliminated the sect…
But instead, Qingxu Sect’s former enemies.
They framed the Demonic Sect in order to escape being hunted down and killed.
The disciples thought it might not be proper for them to dispose the murderer by themselves and wanted to wait for the other sects to come.
But Ming Shu didn’t think those people would come in a timely manner.
Right then, the sects sent their men to ask her to go to Luo City and uphold justice.
The cause was the divine sword.
One sword was just not enough since there were so many sects.
They all wanted to take it, but being n.o.ble and decent sects, they couldn’t just make an unreasonable scene; that would hurt the ties of friendship among them.
So at this time—
The alliance master was required to show up and uphold justice… Pah, to host a fair compet.i.tion.
See, an alliance master had to do such a boring job, like a judge.
“No no no, I’m not going. Do they think I’m so idle that I want to watch them fight?” I’d rather spend time with my snacks at home.
Steamed Bun had figured out Ming Shu’s new hobby, so he tried to persuade her: “Master… Actually, Luo City… is a place of fun, and… there is quite a lot of delicious food.”
You have your duty, Alliance Master!
Don’t be so willful!
“I have a chef king.”
Steamed Bun’s mouth twitched. “You should bring the chef with you, Master, just think about it. There’re many different ingredients in Luo City that we don’t have here, and I’m sure the chef king will cook more new and tasty food.”
Ming Shu thought for a while. It sounded reasonable.
So she waved happily. Let’s go then.
The chef king who was stuffed into the carriage: ???
Why is it so hard to be a quiet chef!!
Steamed Bun made all the proper arrangements, then Ming Shu walked out of the Alliance Master Mansion slowly.
“Master, step here.”
Steamed Bun supported Ming Shu into the carriage, then turned around to see Rong Li hiding among the squads. His mouth twitched. Did the alliance master really want to bring him along?
Steamed Bun only gave him a glance then averted his gaze, pretending not to see anything.
“Let’s go!”
…
In Luo City…
The city was very busy recently, gathering together various forces. It depended on luck and power if you got to rest in a hotel.
Just stop anyone at random in the streets, and they might be a martial arts master.
These people all came for that divine sword.
“Brother Zhuo, there are so many people.” Jiang Ling looked at the man beside her.
Lord Zhuo held her by the hand at his convenience. “They all came for the divine sword.”
“Brother Zhuo, that sword seems powerful, do you want to have a try at it?”
“Me?”
“Yes, Brother Zhuo, you’re powerful so I’m sure you can get it. I also want to see what the divine sword of legend looks like.” Jiang Ling’s tone was filled with trust and admiration.
Lord Zhuo looked at Jiang Ling and didn’t have the heart to refuse her. “Okay, I’ll take a chance.”
“Yes, yes.”
“Move, move.” A scolding voice sounded in the street. “Move aside.”
A carriage squad marched in from outside the city. The people in the front rode on horses and rushed into the city with the clip-clops of hooves. Some common people who didn’t manage to avoid were directly knocked over.
The enlarged character Jin hung on the horse carriage behind, decorated with a palace bell below; and as the squad marched, clear voices rang out.
“The Jin family’s squad…”
“The Jin family’s foppish…”
People’s scattered discussions reached Jiang Ling’s ears. She looked at the luxury horse carriage and a sharp light flashed across her eyes.
Right then the people riding on horses had approached them and they didn’t mean to stop.
Lord Zhuo grabbed Jiang Ling and slid backward quickly. A horse seemed to be frightened and suddenly began to neigh.
The man on the horse calmed it down in a hurry.
“Who are you, get out of the way!” the man shouted.
Jiang Ling broke free from Lord Zhuo’s arms. “You almost hit us, don’t you need to make an apology?”
“If you didn’t stand in the middle, how would I have hit you. Now cut the c.r.a.p and move away!”
“You almost hit us yet don’t want to apologize, and now you want us to get out of the way, why?” Jiang Ling raised her head as she argued.
The man scolded again while raising his whip, “Hey, young lady, don’t cause trouble, it won’t end well if you offend our young master. Just get out of the way quickly!”
Jiang Ling was also irritated. “I won’t do that today, so what? Is this your road, why do you want us to move aside thinking we’ll obey?”
Some kind-hearted people tried to persuade Jiang Ling.
But Jiang Ling was stubborn and wouldn’t swallow her anger. So naturally, Lord Zhuo wouldn’t allow her to be bullied.
The two sides ended in a deadlock and were about to have a fight, then another horse came over with a man on its back.
“Butler Jin, what are you doing here?” The man glanced at Jiang Ling, then looked at the man with her.
Butler Jin snorted. “This young girl is insolent enough to stop our young master’s carriage.”
The man frowned. “You should make way for them quickly.”
Butler Jin raised his whip again and pointed at Jiang Ling. “Did you hear that? Get out of the way in a hurry, or you’ll suffer.”
“If you don’t apologize today, I won’t make way for you.” Jiang Ling was still stubborn.
“You little…”
The man stopped butler Jin. “It’s better to save trouble. The city is chaotic these days and you should avoid making more trouble. Report to Young Master Jin and get this settled. Young lady, just calm down and let them pa.s.s.”
“Protector Zhou, what’s wrong with you today?” Butler Jin was a little dumbfounded and looked at the man. How did he become a peacemaker.
The Jin family had always been overbearing in Luo City, and the Flying Tiger Clan in the city had shown them respect all this time.
“If they don’t apologize, I won’t make way for them.” Jiang Ling kept her chin up.
Protector Zhou frowned again and his eyes began to become unkind while looking at Jiang Ling.
Just as the three sides couldn’t reach an accord, someone else rode to the gate.
“Protector Zhou.” Steamed Bun raised his fist and made a martial arts salute.
Protector Zhou was startled and quickly saluted back. “Has the alliance master arrived?”
“What’s happening here?” His eyes rested on Jiang Ling and paused. Why is she here?
Protector Zhou became quite nervous. The Luo City was their Flying Tiger Clan’s home, so the duty of treating the alliance master was naturally delegated to him.
The current alliance master was a young girl, but the people in her mansion were not unimportant.
They looked down upon the girl in their hearts, but on the surface they still needed to show courtesy and respect.
“I’m really sorry, please tell the alliance master to wait for a moment, and I’ll clear the way right now,” Protector Zhou said.
“That’ll be great, Protector Zhou, thank you.” Steamed Bun turned around and left.
Protector Zhou immediately said to Butler Jin, “You heard it, Butler Jin, move quickly with your squad. If anything bad happens, I can’t report to Clan Leader.”
“It’s not I who won’t move, she won’t make way for us.” Butler Jin looked at Jiang Ling.
Protector Zhou just wanted to settle the matter quickly and quietly so that he could welcome the alliance master into the city. He held back his anger and tried to persuade Jiang Ling with kind words.
But Jiang Ling had to request an apology.
Then the foppish young master in the carriage got really p.i.s.sed off and got down.
