Under the threat of the masked men's leader, Mo Buhui and Mei Lianhua did not dare to head in the direction of Martial Hall Palace. Hence, they could only escape in the direction of the Hundred Beast Mountain Range.
”You go as well!” Xiang Shaoyun urgently warned Lu Xiaoqing.
”No! I won't leave you! When we left, we said that we would take care of one another!” Lu Xiaoqing stubbornly insisted.
Feeling Lu Xiaoqing's resolute desire to protect him, Xiang Shaoyun was deeply moved. However, her doing so was actually preventing him from making his own escape.
”Heh heh, what touching loyalty! Why don't you accompany us then?” The leader of the masked men sneered, stretching a hand towards Lu Xiaoqing's delicate face.
”If you dare to touch a hair on her, Martial Hall Palace's eleventh elder will not let you off!” Xiang Shaoyun shouted, blocking the masked man from Lu Xiaoqing.
”The eleventh elder?!” Sure enough, upon hearing Xiang Shaoyun's words, the masked men were visibly conflicted.
”If my guess isn't wrong, you should be from the Wu Clan. If the one you're looking for is me, there's no need to drag her in as well. Both her and I are important disciples of Martial Hall Palace. Don't think that the palace won't investigate your Wu Clan if something happens!”
Upon heading Xiang Shaoyun's words, the masked men's leader's eyes visibly drew back. Xiang Shaoyun had indeed seen through their disguise.
”You, quickly get lost! Don't stay here and drag me down!” Xiang Shaoyun scolded Lu Xiaoqing.
Being a delicate person by nature, Lu Xiaoqing's pretty eyes teared up as she stammered in utter disbelief, ”Y-you ungrateful b.a.s.t.a.r.d!”
”Hmph. Do you think that you are worthy of being with someone as sophisticated as I am? Even if you're willing to go through thick and thin with me, I won't even take a second glance at you. I only like girls with s.e.xy bodies such as Mei Lianhua!” Xiang Shaoyun coldly laughed.
Before Xiang Shaoyun had even finished speaking, Lu Xiaoqing's eyes were already flowing with tears of pure sadness.
”I-I HATE YOU!” Lu Xiaoqing cried bitterly. Covering her tear-streaked face, she ran as fast as she could away from the encirclement.
”I'm sorry, but I hope you understand,” Xiang Shaoyun muttered to himself as he watched the fast disappearing figure grow smaller and smaller.
”Brat, there's no need to play any more games. Be a good boy and come with us.” The leader of the masked men had seen through Xiang Shaoyun's actions.
”You are all here for revenge for Wu Mingliang, right? However, have you thought this through properly? I'm the junior brother of the nineteenth elder Zi Changhe. If you dare do anything to me, my senior brother will not just sit by the side and watch idly. Furthermore, Martial Hall Palace is very well aware that I possess a five-star physique. I'd advise you not to do anything overly stupid,” Xiang Shaoyun menacingly said.
”Okay brat, it's no use talking more. Even if the palace master of Martial Hall Palace was here himself today, I would still bring you away with me,” the leader of the masked men coldly said before instructing his men to bind Xiang Shaoyun.
Taking a deep breath, Xiang Shaoyun suddenly began frantically waving in a certain direction. He yelled at the top of lungs, ”Senior Brother Zi! I'm over here!”
Upon hearing Zi Changhe's name, the masked men were badly startled and looked in the direction in which Xiang Shaoyun was waving.
”Go to h.e.l.l!” Xiang Shaoyun yelled as he rushed towards the leader, one fist aimed straight for his head.
Pa!
Before his fist could land on the leader's body, he found his fist being grasped solidly by a hand—the leader had come to his senses.
”These petty tricks might work on someone else, but they're of no use on me!” The leader arrogantly sneered.
