Chapter 970: The Alliance Master’s Teachings (15)
Steamed Bun bore with the stress and questioned everyone during the night.
Luckily, he found the person who shot the hidden weapons.
However, before he could find out anything more, the person committed suicide.
There was nothing which could prove his ident.i.ty on his body. He asked everyone, but no one recognize this person.
Steamed Bun had no choice. He reported this to Ming Shu.
Ming Shu pondered it. “What happened to the person from the Demonic Sect?”
“…” Steamed Bun hesitated. “We didn’t find him after we cleaned up the area. He should have ran away.”
Ming Shu raised her eyebrows. “He managed to run away even after I beat him up so badly?”
Indeed.
He was surprised at how strong-willed that person was.
He managed to run away even after suffering such a serious injury.
Steamed Bun asked nervously, “Alliance Master… are they on the same side?”
The person from the Demonic Sect appeared suddenly. After he appeared, they were attacked.
Ming Shu replied, “One is dead and one ran away. Who knows?”
Steamed Bun frowned. “Alliance Master, if they were together, who was their target?”
The attack was weird.
They shot at everyone. There was no specific target.
“Go and ask him.” I am not one of them. How would I know?
“…”
Can we have a proper conversation?
Not only did the person from the Demonic Sect run away, Lord Zhuo and Jiang Ling disappeared too.
[Hidden Task: I will destroy you in the name of justice. Hint: Anger anyone that is not from your mansion.]
Ming Shu: “…”
Harmony System… you are getting more and more harmonious.
[Thank you for your compliment. For the sake of snacks, please work hard!]
Ming Shu: “…”
After Steamed Bun left, the other sects and clans came to “visit” Ming Shu and discussed the attack with her.
Most of them felt that the Demonic Sect just wanted to fight against them. The Demonic Sect often did things without any reason or logic.
A small portion of people felt that something was amiss.
However, there was no evidence to prove their suspicion. Everything was just their own guesses.
The minority would follow the majority. In the end, everyone agreed that the Demonic Sect was just being crazy and wanted to give them trouble.
“Alliance Master, the compet.i.tion…”
After this issue was solved, there was still another one.
Ming Shu tilted her head. “Didn’t I win?”
Everyone: “…”
It was true that she was the only one left on the battle stage.
But…
This should not be counted, right?
They recalled how Ming Shu subdued all the heroes. They swallowed back the words that they wanted to say and congratulated her instead.
“When are you going to take the divine sword?” someone asked her in an unwilling tone as everyone was talking.
Divine sword!
The divine sword landed in her hand just like that.
Although they might not be able to win even if they proceeded with the compet.i.tion, it felt better than just giving it up like this.
Ming Shu considered for a moment. “Time waits for no man. Let’s do it tomorrow.”
Pu—
Was she trying to tease them?
…
Even at night, Luo City was lively. People hustle and bustle along the streets. The heroes from the pugilist world added to the liveliness of Luo City.
Ming Shu carried a bag as she secretly hit the streets with Rong Li.
If she had a choice, she would not bring Rong Li along.
However, he saw her when she was trying to sneak out…
Infuriating.
“Lord, come inside and play!”
A bevy of beautiful ladies swarmed toward them. Rong Li was surrounded. The ladies pulled him toward the building in front of him.
Rong Li appeared to be in shock. He even forgot to struggle.
“Lord, you’re really handsome.”
“Lord, come on…”
Rong Li struggled. Brightly colored dresses flashed in front of his eyes. The strong smell of perfume attacked his nose. It was suffocating.
He tried to find Ming Shu, but she was gone.
F**k. She was still here just now.
Where did she go?
Did she not notice that I am gone?
What kind of person is this!
My clothes!
My wife bought them for me!
Stop tearing them apart…
Rong Li exerted some force and tried to break free from these people. Suddenly, someone grabbed his shoulder. The person didn’t use much energy, but he was freed from the ladies’ grasp.
The young girl smiled at the beautiful ladies. “Little sisters, he is taken.”
Ming Shu smiled gently. Her voice was pleasant so the ladies didn’t get angry. They laughed seductively and didn’t continue pestering the boy. They went to find another target.
“Cough, cough, cough…” Rong Li choked from the heavy perfume. He leaned on Ming Shu’s shoulder and took in the faint smell from her body. He felt much better.
Rong Li secretly reached out and grabbed Ming Shu’s waist. He complained, “Alliance Master… they tore my clothes.”
Ming Shu: “…”
Young man, you are breaking the rules!
The game is not played like this!
Can you not do things your own way?
Rong Li’s clothes were not torn. They were just messed up. Ming Shu pushed him away and tidied him up. Then, she continued walking between the snacks stalls.
Rong Li: “…”
All you know is food. Why haven’t you died from overeating!
Why is food more attractive than me?
I am… I’m delicious too!
Rong Li grabbed his clothes and cursed silently in his heart. He looked down and followed behind Ming Shu.
The people on the streets lessened. It started to get quieter.
Rong Li looked at the ground absentmindedly. Suddenly, he was grabbed and pulled to the side. A drunk man that smelled like alcohol brushed past him.
Ming Shu had her arms around him. “Are you still thinking about those beautiful ladies just now? Do you want me to send you back?”
“Alliance Master…” Rong Li shook his head nervously. “I’m not, I’m not thinking about them.”
“Hah.”
“I’m really not thinking about them.”
Rong Li kept trying to explain himself. He told her that he was not interested in those people.
He didn’t realize that Ming Shu had dragged him in a certain direction. She never let him go all this while.
By the time he noticed something, they were on a small bridge.
He looked at their position and felt elated. He purposely leaned toward Ming Shu. Ming Shu placed her hands on his waist and naturally leaned toward him too.
Boom!
A black shadow b.u.mped into the two of them.
The beautiful and graceful images in Rong Li’s mind were shattered.
F**k…
Which idiot is this!
Rong Li resisted the urge to kick the person. He looked down. He must remember the face of this person.
He bore grudges.
The person on the ground got up and patted his clothes casually. He raised his head and greeted Ming Shu. “Alliance Master, what a coincidence.”
Rong Li quickly lowered his head and tilted his body. He shrunk into Ming Shu’s arms and made use of the darkness to hide himself.
Ming Shu pulled Rong Li closer to her. “You are blocking my way.”
The sect leader glanced at the person in Ming Shu’s arms. “You must be in a good mood.”
Ming Shu smiled brightly. “How can I be compared to you? It is the middle of the night and you are being chased. Seems like you are quite popular.”
“…”
After Ming Shu reminded him, he remembered the situation he was in. He wanted to leave but before he could, a murderous intent filled the air.
The man in the curtained hat appeared in the air and attacked the Demonic sect leader with his palm…
The sect leader suddenly dodged behind Ming Shu.
Ming Shu grabbed him and pushed him away. She held onto Rong Li and retreated some distance away.
Boom!
The strike from the man in the curtained hat struck the water in the river. The water splashed high into the air. It sprayed onto the bridge.
The sect leader looked at Ming Shu bitterly. “How can you not save me?”
Ming Shu smiled. “I can add on to your misfortune too.”
The sect leader: “…”
The man in the curtained hat sneered and raised his palm again.
