Master's Chief Disciple

There are three days left until the wedding.

Just when Mu Huayan and the others had come up with a perfect plan to deal with Eunuch Qu Shi, unfortunately, bad news came.

Han Qixi sent a message saying that Zhong Siyao had shown up without their knowledge and now they could not find her.

Her last breath was cut off outside a dilapidated temple, where her lost zither strings were found.

"!!!"

Wen Qi held his forehead helplessly, not knowing whether he should worry about her or the whole plan.

Mu Huayan was very calm when she heard the news, but her eyes were slightly angry.

"Senior sister, her capture is likely to affect the operation of the entire plan."

Then Han Qixi sent another message telling them not to worry and that he would find a way to find Zhong Siyao's whereabouts.

The message also said that they had found Prince Xian's whereabouts, and he was now heading to the Princess's Mansion.

But with him was Grandpa Youshi, and they would reach their destination in a quarter of an hour.

Ruxi, who was dozing off nearby, suddenly woke up after hearing this, "Sister Mu, what should we do?"

As for Prince Xian, his daughter was everything to him, so he absolutely could not bear to see his daughter marry a father-in-law.

Almost everyone had the same thought in their mind: "He wants to kill Eunuch Qu Shi!"

"Senior Sister, we can't let him ruin our plan. We must find a way to stop him." Wen Qi said.

"It's too late. Eunuch Qu Shi must have other plans, and Prince Xian's identity may have been exposed."

Mu Huayan concentrated her mind and carefully sent out her spiritual sense to explore the area three miles away from the Princess's Mansion.

As expected, there were many masters of the Extreme Wilderness Realm and the Peak Ancestor Realm lying in ambush nearby, but Prince Xian should have been able to detect them and he also knew the style of Eunuch Qushi very well.

"He shouldn't take such a big risk. The probability of killing Eunuch Qu Shi is very low." Mu Huayan thought, holding her chin.

"Senior Sister, I have an idea. How about..." Tang Xuanze shared his ideas with everyone.

Mu Huayan thought this was a good idea, but she added a plan, "We will split into three groups, Bai Yu, Tang Xuanze, Fang Hanyu, you three..."

"I will go back to the Princess's Mansion with the little fox. Wen Qi, Xin Ce, you two..."

"action!"

In a dense forest in Cuiwu City, two figures were fighting back and forth with bows and arrows.

"Come out, you rats! How can you be so brave if you hide like that?" Zhong Siyao pulled the bowstring to its full extent and stared at the opposite side.

"You dare to destroy my immortal harp? If you dare to come out, I will make you be buried with it!"

Suddenly, a figure appeared from behind her without anyone noticing. She reacted quickly and fired an arrow but missed.

After a while, a series of rustling sounds came from the bushes beside her.

She looked around warily and catalyzed the bow to transform it into a peach-pink sword.

Two dark shadows attacked her from both sides without any warning.

She focused her mind and identified the clues, and swung her sword to the left without hesitation.

When the sound of sharp weapons colliding was very harsh, the surrounding plants and trees were shaken by a murderous aura.

The shadow gradually emerged, and it turned out to be a tall man in black clothes and a silver mask.

Zhong Siyao fought with him for no less than a hundred rounds, and both sides were evenly matched.

"How could a cultivator from the Extreme Desolate Realm fight me to a draw? I'm curious about how you did it."

In fact, all this was thanks to Hua Yan. She expected that Zhong Siyao's reckless and curious personality would definitely cause trouble.

That's why she was specially trained for some time. She had a good understanding and quickly became familiar with some moves and fighting methods.

"What does that mean? It means that you are not strong enough to defeat a girl like me from the Extreme Desolate Realm."

Just a simple sentence pierced his heart and shattered his dignity. It was a great humiliation, but he really couldn't even get a girl.

Zhong Siyao sensed the other party's anger and became interested in adding fuel to the fire.

"My senior sister said that you are weaker than me, so you are just an ant that is not even as good as a mouse." After saying that, she made a gesture of squeezing an ant to death.

But what Zhong Siyao didn't know was that the other party didn't use his full strength at all, but used less than 50% of his strength.

The strange thing is that this time the other party was not as angry as before, but instead looked nonchalant.

"You are the fifth opponent I am not afraid of dying against. Not only are you so noisy, but you also look so..."

He looked at Zhong Siyao with a ruffian look. She felt very uncomfortable being stared at, so she just followed his words and said, "I'm not ugly, you are not attracted to me, are you?"

This sentence made him laugh so hard that he put away his weapon and leaned against a tree, staring at her with his hands crossed.

"You're the first opponent that I find funny but don't want to kill."

"But..." His eyes suddenly became sharp.

Before Zhong Siyao could react, he was already in front of her. Her first reaction was to stab him with the sword, but he dodged sideways and firmly grasped Zhong Siyao's sword hand.

In a hurry, she tore off the man's mask, and a handsome face that was almost intoxicating appeared in front of her.

"You have wasted your reputation by choosing to work for the Blood Demon Sect instead of following the right path!"

But this sentence seemed to have irritated his nerves and made him furious. He raised his hand and grabbed her neck with a fierce look in his eyes.

"The right way? Hahaha."

"What do you know? How would you feel when you saw someone you cherish being beaten to death by them and no one stood up to protect him?"

"Human nature is indifferent and heartless. Where is the right path in the world?"

"They are nothing but wolves in sheep's clothing, and I am the hunter who kills these righteous people."

Zhong Siyao was almost choked to the point of suffocation. She grabbed his wrists tightly with both hands and said, "You lunatic, let me go."

The lingering memories began to attack his mind again. He let go of Zhong Siyao's hands and covered his head in pain.

A glimmer of light sank deep into Zhong Siyao's mind.

In the picture, a thin little boy is supporting another sick little girl outside a government office.

He begged the nobleman in the mansion to have mercy and save his sick friend, but he was cursed and beaten by the owner of the mansion.

The masked man was still an eight-year-old boy at that time. He ran towards the two from a distance.

Soon the two were beaten up by the people in the mansion. He squeezed into the crowd and cried and begged them to stop beating him.

The people around watched coldly and pushed him out maliciously. When the crowd dispersed, the two were beaten to death.

He screamed uncontrollably and used his low-level spiritual power to heal their wounds, but he was just a low-level cultivator and it was useless.

So he stumbled to the clinic across the street and begged them to save him, but all he got was indifference and ruthlessness.

When he returned to the place, his two friends had already died and turned into two cold corpses.

His body trembled frequently and tears fell to the ground like rain. His heart-wrenching roar seemed to move the heavens and heavy rain fell.

Zhong Siyao once again felt the pain and powerlessness of her heart. She trembled and reached out to gently stroke his head.

Perhaps it was because of the excessive pain that he fainted and fell to the ground. He hated himself for not practicing seriously in the beginning.

If he was stronger, his friend would not have suffered this disaster. However, the culprit was not him, but the nobles who regarded human life as worthless at that time.

There were also the heartless spectators who stood by and watched, and the cold-hearted doctors who refused to save them when they were on the verge of death;

But because of this he also became a cold-blooded master of poison and an out-and-out villain who killed people without blinking an eye.

When he woke up, he saw Zhong Siyao grilling meat nearby. "Why don't you take this opportunity to escape? Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

Zhong Siyao passed the roasted meat to his mouth, motioning him to take a bite, but he turned his face away and knocked the rabbit meat away.

"Stop pretending to be kind and righteous. I don't need it."

After saying that, he picked up the mask beside him and was about to leave, but Zhong Siyao pounced on him and pinned him to the ground.

Before he could react, a piece of meat had already entered his mouth. He was slightly stunned, and the meat in his mouth exuded a unique aroma lingering between his teeth.

He swallowed it somehow. Zhong Siyao laughed and handed him another skewer of barbecue.

He didn't know how to react, neither did he take the meat nor push her away, but he always felt a little warm in his heart despite the sour nose.

When he looked up and met her eyes, he noticed the remaining mist. After a moment of hesitation, he took the barbecue and put it into his mouth without hesitation.

She looked at him with disdain, "You were so arrogant just now, but now you know the smell of meat."

As he chewed the meat in his mouth, he suddenly remembered the time when he was hungry. At that time, the three of them had hardly ever had a full meal, let alone meat...

If someone had helped them at the beginning, his two friends wouldn't be so skinny and sick.

They would not have experienced such a tragic life in the end, let alone lost their lives...

If they were still alive, perhaps the three of them would do what they like together, practice together... and join a favorite sect together.

However, their life trajectories changed drastically due to the cruel world, and from then on the three of them became "evil guys" walking alone.

“Hehehaha…”

His sudden weird smile made Zhong Siyao break out in a cold sweat, but this weird smile was mixed with a hint of hatred and powerlessness.

Suddenly, a space not far away was torn open, and a hint of murderous intent emanated from it. By the time Zhong Siyao reacted, she had been knocked unconscious by a masked man who flashed over from behind.

Shen Yun jumped out of a space and looked around but did not find the spiritual power fluctuation just now.

"So interested?" Her eyes fell on the grill beside her.

She didn't notice anything unusual so she didn't pay any attention to it. Instead, she picked up the remaining skewer of barbecue and put it to her nose and smelled it. "Hmm~ Your cooking skills are really good."

"It's time to act." After giving the instructions, she walked into the space and disappeared on the spot.

After making sure she was far away, the masked man pulled back the robe covering her and she happened to open her eyes.

"You ungrateful man, you actually dared to knock me out." She covered the back of her neck with one hand and raised her hand as if to hit him.

The attacking fist was grabbed by his right hand, and he moved closer to her and said with a smug smile: "Don't waste your energy, you can't beat me."

But the next moment, Zhong Siyao used her spiritual power to attach to her hand and pulled him back. He lost his balance and was pulled forward by Zhong Siyao.

He was stunned for a long time but did not expect a punch to hit his stomach. After a cry of pain, he was knocked against the tree trunk opposite.

Zhong Siyao stood up, brushed off the dust and fallen leaves on her body, and shouted, "I let you sneak attack me, so I'm paying you back."

He stood up coughing and without explaining, he picked up the mask on the ground, brushed off the dust, put it on, turned around and prepared to leave.

But somehow he turned around to look at her who was still sorting out her clothes and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

But not long after he started walking, he was chased by a sharp arrow and had to find a way to dodge. Suddenly, three or five sharp arrows were shot at him.

Zhong Siyao jumped up and stepped lightly on the arrows, using their momentum to get closer to him. When she landed, she caught all the flying arrows and threw them out at once.

Dozens of sharp arrows accurately blocked his way. When he tried to escape, he suddenly felt a cold touch on his back.

Zhong Siyao put the sharp arrow against his back and said sternly, "Don't be so anxious to leave. Fight with me for a while longer."

She urged the sharp arrows to move, and he had no choice but to fight back. In just a few moments, the two had fought for more than ten rounds.

He tried to escape but was repeatedly discovered and stopped by Zhong Siyao. He repeatedly used his spiritual power but the injuries he suffered last time began to worsen.

Zhong Siyao's sword was about to pierce his heart, but fortunately she noticed that something was wrong with him and retracted the sword in time, but the sword energy scratched his shoulder.

Then his eyes went dark and he passed out.
