Chapter 1941 (Raw 2041): Hesitation
“Thud! Thud! Thud!”
After the short-haired girl blocked the four and broke their formation, the people behind immediately ran over and surrounded them.
Once momentum was disrupted, regaining it was very hard.
Furthermore, with this obstruction, the White Dragon Palace’s Elders were sure to arrive.
The four exchanged looks and smiled bitterly. After causing a huge commotion and rushing out, they had failed at the last moment.
Without any other ideas, they gave up on resisting.
However, the hearts of the four remained easy. They were all heaven-class core disciples. The White Dragon Palace would not dare to do much.
At the very most, they would be locked up before being sent back to their respective palaces, then punished.
However, this delay completely disrupted their plans.
This was still a huge loss. It would affect their later plans and perhaps even affect them during the competition among the seven outer palaces.
Murong Yan stopped his wounds from bleeding and looked over. Now, he discovered that the short-haired girl in front of them was quite young.
This girl appeared to be in her twenties; the juvenile cast to her face had yet to disappear. With one look, it was clear that she was not experienced, lacking a worldly air.
“Turns out, it is a young girl.” Murong Yan smiled. He could not help crying out, “It really hurts.”
“Clang!”
Right after Murong Yan spoke, he saw a piercing light from a strand of saber Qi rushing at him, looking like a willow leaf.
This scared him. He could no longer be bothered with stopping his bleeding. He quickly jumped and dodged, not daring to say anything more.
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
A few strong auras arrived in the air—the Sovereign Personage experts of the White Dragon Palace. As Xiao Chen and the others expected, they no longer had a chance.
“Elders, just leave this matter to me.”
Who knew, the short-haired girl shouted to the sky, and those Sovereign Personages withdrew.
However, before those Elders left, they sent a voice projection to Xiao Chen’s group: Stop causing problems. Otherwise, you will not just be locked up.
After making the threat, the Elders withdrew, but they did not go far away.
Actually, without these Elders needing to say anything, Xiao Chen and the others would not continue attacking. If there were a chance, they naturally would not give it up.
If there were no chance, they would not do any pointless work, either.
“Junior Sister Liu!”
Just at this moment, Liu Yunfei and Zhong Li rushed over in a fluster.
Situ Changfeng whispered to Wei Hongfei, “Hongfei, who is this girl? Why does she know the Willow Leaf Saber? To think that Zhong Li is so polite to her. What is her background?”
Wei Hongfei replied uncertainly, “I’ve heard that Liu Ruyue has a younger sister, but she rarely appears. This should be her, right?”
What?!
Xiao Chen was shocked. A younger sister?
What’s going on? Why have I not heard of this before? Xiao Chen’s shock was indescribable.
However, it was not convenient to ask about this now. He could only forcefully suppress his questions. Although he felt shocked, he did not show it. He only glanced at that girl a few times.
Seeing that Xiao Chen and the others no longer intended to resist, Zhong Li heaved a sigh of relief. He said to the short-haired girl, “Junior Sister Liu, these people caused trouble at my residence. They not only injured Junior Brother Liu but even humiliated him with their words and destroyed a part of my residence. Leave these people to me. I’ve already informed the Law Enforcement Hall’s people.”
“Screw your mother!”
Murong Yan scolded, “It clearly was you who looked down on our friend, wanting to chase him out of the team that was arranged beforehand and put in your junior brother. After being rejected, your bullshit junior brother even sneak-attacked my friend. Haha! The funniest thing was that even though it was a sneak attack, he still lost.
“I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen anyone as shameless as you. No wonder you could go to Desolate God Valley and leave a few times. It turns out that your skin is so thick, you are already undefeatable. Haha!”
Even though the situation was bad, Murong Yan still did not change. He not only scolded Zhong Li but even mocked him, not giving him any face.
Murong Yan’s words were true. Zhong Li raged in his heart, but his expression did not change. He said casually, “Junior Brother Liu, send Junior Sister Liu back first. I’ll deal with this.”
[TL Note: The Liu in Liu Yunfei is different from the Liu in Liu Ruyun and Liu Ruyue. They are not related aside from their White Dragon bloodline.]
“Yes.”
“Wait a moment. I have not questioned them yet. I am the one handling this matter. Although I am not experienced, my elder sister told me that when dealing with such matters, the people involved should avoid arousing suspicion. Someone other than you should handle this.”
The short-haired girl’s words were logical. Zhong Li was temporarily at a loss as to how to rebut.
“Junior Brother Liu, did you really sneak-attack them?” The short-haired girl questioned Liu Yunfei as she looked at him wide-eyed.
Liu Feiyun blushed slightly, feeling embarrassed. He found it hard to explain, so he looked at Zhong Li, hoping for assistance.
Just as Zhong Li was about to speak, the short-haired girl said, “Don’t interrupt. Let him speak for himself. In any case, the truth will be revealed in the end, so don’t even lie. Otherwise, this lady will not be nice.”
Liu Yunfei felt conflicted for a long time, hesitating on whether to deny the charge persistently.
However, he concluded that if the short-haired girl was really serious and called out the Palace Master, he still would have to tell the truth in the end.
Hence, he might as well admit to it now and avoid greater trouble later. He lowered his head and said through gritted teeth, “Yes.”
“Really?!”
The short-haired girl felt startled. “You sneak-attacked others and were even defeated?”
“Yes.”
Liu Yunfei had yet to wipe away the blood on his lips. He could not hide the wounds on his body. There was no way for him to rebut this.
So, Liu Yunfei nodded again while clenching his teeth.
Zhong Li sighed in his heart, It’s all over.
Things took a different turn. Xiao Chen and the others did not expect that this Liu Yunfei would actually admit to everything.
Murong Yan smiled and said, “You are truly dreg. You are weak, and your character is poor. Your skin is not even as thick as your senior brother’s. So what if you transformed twenty percent of your bloodline? You are still trash. Hahaha!”
After cursing, Murong Yan felt incredibly delighted. However, he completely frustrated Liu Yunfei and Zhong Li.
On the other hand, the short-haired girl was not concerned about this. She smiled in excitement and said, “Stop scolding others. You are not a good person, either. Who is the friend you mentioned?”
Murong Yan immediately felt like vomiting blood. What do you mean I am not a good person, either?
However, Murong Yan still honestly pointed at Xiao Chen and said, “Xiao Chen, the Heavenly Dragon Palace’s newly advanced heaven-class core disciple.”
The short-haired girl rolled her eyes. Now, she roughly understood what had happened. She looked at Zhong Li and asked, “Senior Brother Zhong Li, are you going to pursue this?”
Zhong Li smiled bitterly and replied, “With Junior Sister managing this, how could I dare to pursue this?”
Pursue my ass. Liu Yunfei admitted to everything like a fool.
This is the White Dragon Palace, my territory. They are outsiders causing trouble. Even if the commotion reached the Palace Master’s ears, as long as he kept denying it, nothing would have happened. Which palace would not protect its disciple even though the disciple was in the wrong?
After glancing at Wei Hongfei, Zhong Li snorted coldly before flinging his sleeves out and leaving. Liu Yunfei quickly followed.
The many core disciples surrounding Xiao Chen’s group sighed and scattered. They knew that they have suffered for nothing today.
“Many thanks to this young miss for upholding justice. If there is nothing else, we will go now.”
In order to avoid running into more trouble by lingering here, Wei Hongfei performed a cupped-fist salute and took his leave.
“There’s no rush. With me around, no one will dare to seek trouble for you. My elder sister always tells me that you cannot judge a person by their bloodline. All the more I should not look down on others because of their low bloodline. This time, it was indeed Senior Brother Zhong Li who was in the wrong. I apologize to you all on behalf of the White Dragon Palace, also this...Heavenly Dragon Palace friend,” the short-haired girl said sincerely as she looked at Xiao Chen.
Murong Yan said, “This girl, although she is ruthless in her attacks, her manners are pretty good. However, just an apology is useless. We are all injured. Compensation needs to be made!”
The short-haired girl did not blame Murong Yan for wanting a mile when given an inch. She smiled. “Hehe! Actually, I was thinking the same. I would like to invite you all to my residence to have a seat. I can see that you are all injured, and your Veritable Essence Energy is significantly drained. It will be good to rest up first before rushing on your way.”
Murong Yan now became embarrassed. He had been kidding when he said that. He did not expect the other party to be so sincere, listening to him.
Murong Yan looked at the other three and whispered, “What do you all think?”
Xiao Chen was still wondering how Liu Ruyue gained a younger sister; he could not think about anything else.
Wei Hongfei rolled his eyes. He felt exasperated at Murong Yan but could do nothing. They clearly could have left, but Murong Yan had to mouth off. He could not be bothered with Murong Yan now.
Situ Changfeng said helplessly, “Miss Liu, with such great hospitality, if we don’t go, we would appear to be unreasonable.”
“Let’s go.”
Since Xiao Chen’s group agreed, the short-haired girl appeared very happy.
Once this group was far away, the hidden Sovereign Personage Elders appeared and helplessly shook their heads.
“The Second Young Miss is still playful. She still loves to poke her nose into other people’s business. I think Zhong Li must be almost angered into wanting to kill.”
“She has been cooped up in the White Dragon Palace all the while. It is quite boring. It would be hard for her to ignore this commotion, as something out of the ordinary rarely happens. These peoples’ identities have no problems, right?”
“They are fine. They are heaven-class core disciples of the other outer palaces. They probably just got into a conflict due to an argument and are not intentionally causing trouble.”
“In that case, let’s just leave things be. When the Second Young Miss has had her fill of fun, send this group back as early as possible. To think that they dare to cause trouble in the White Dragon Palace! They are truly bold.”
Clearly, these Elders were still quite angry.
Whether Xiao Chen’s group was in the right or not, it consisted of outsiders, who had injured White Dragon Palace disciples. No matter what, these Elders would feel upset.
If not for the short-haired girl’s interference, things would not have been settled just like that.
