Chapter 155: Hara.s.sing a Young Lady
“Of course not!” ShuiJing said with a frown. Then, she said with a tinge of sadness, “Of the two who did not come, one of them is Peerless Sword Deity. He killed YuFeng and is suffering from the revenge curse. Thus, he is completely paralysed and thus unable to come. However, we could not rest easy if we were to throw him there alone. Thus, we can only leave another senior brother to take care of him. As such, both of them did not come!” As she said that, she looked towards Little Fatty with a face of reprimand; as though she was blaming him for making his own senior brother a scapegoat.Seeing the situation, Little Fatty immediately revealed a look of grievance. He had the heart to explain the situation but was unable to say it openly with HongYing here. Thus, he could only pretend that he was clueless and asked, “Although senior brother Lee is strong, but he shouldn’t have the ability to kill YuFeng who had the Nine Beauties Painting right?’
“Haha, of course not!” HongYing said rejoicing in his misfortune, “It is just that his hands were too itchy and killed a giant viper when he was exploring. But he never expected that YuFeng was in the viper’s stomach and thus was also killed by him!”
“Ah, there is actually such a matter?” Little Fatty began blinking rapidly towards ShuiJing and said, “It is really too unexpected, too unexpected!” Obviously, he wanted to hint to ShuiJing that it was an accident.ShuiJing frowned and said, “It’s really an accident?”
“It definitely is! No one forced him to kill the viper right?” Little Fatty helplessly interjected, “Besides, who else can calculate for him to appear there apart from you?”
“Eh? What are you guys talking about?” HongYing felt that their conversation was a little strange. Following which, Little Fatty’s final words was completely irrelevant. Thus, she could not help but ask in doubt, “Don’t tell me you suspect that sister ShuiJing placed YuFeng into the viper to purposely harm senior brother Li?”
“What nonsense are you spouting?” ShuiJing immediately replied, “How would I have the ability to defeat YuFeng who has the Nine Beauties Painting?”“Who knows?” HongYing then rolled her eyes and touched her chin as she a.n.a.lysed, “Among all the cultivators who entered the Jade Green Screen, you are the only one who is able to fight with YuFeng. This is because you have the ability of divination. You may be able to predict YuFeng’s path and set up an ambush for him. Before he even takes out the Nine Beauties Painting, you could have finished him off! Then, you can frame senior brother Li! Woah woah woah, this must definitely be the case, right? Right?”
HongYing then grabbed ShuiJing’s hands and began to shake them vigorously. Suddenly being accused of being the murderer out of nowhere, ShuiJing did not know whether to laugh or cry. She wanted to explain but did not know where to start. Thus, she could only say with a bitter laughter, “Junior sister, you think too highly of me. I really do not have the ability to defeat YuFeng!”
“Really?” HongYing continued asking, “Then tell me who defeated him! Don’t tell me you don’t know, you are able to calculate it!”
As ShuiJing heard that, she was struck speechless. Now, she had no other way to wiggle her way out of this. But she could not betray Little Fatty either. Thus, she could only say with a bitter laughter, “Okay okay. I admit that I know who defeated YuFeng. But, I promised the person that I will not reveal it. Thus, you should give up!”
“Not you?” HongYing was stunned. Then she seemed to have understood something, saying: “Haha, I know. It must be Han Bing’er. Only the Divine Ice Soul Sword is able to fight with the Nine Beauties Painting. Right?”
Despite knowing that HongYing was incorrect, ShuiJing decided to keep mum in order to free herself from HongYing’s interrogation. Thus, HongYing thought that ShuiJing had silently agreed and even got really excited for a moment. Then, she thought of Little Fatty’s injuries and insisted that she had to personally help him treat them.Actually, Little Fatty’s external injuries were no longer anything serious. But, he was unable to out-talk HongYing. Thus, he could only find a silent place to let the 2 ladies treat him.
Just when the great battle was happening in the Jade Green Screen, the cultivators in the outside were also extremely noisy. In the centre of the two transportation portals, there was a azure platform which was a few hundred feet high. At this moment, the platform was bustling with the cultivators of the various sects.
In the very centre, it was occupied by more than 10 YuanYing cultivators. They segregated themselves into two different groups and were in two rows. Each row had 7 people with 3 neutral YuanYing cultivators.
Being YuanYing cultivators, they would naturally pay attention to their own poise. Thus, all 17 of them gracefully sat cross-legged with their disciples standing behind them.It was about time for the hunt to end already. According to the customs from the past few years, both the devil and righteous cultivators would end up quarrelling and this year was no exception.
With a smile, Feng from the Thousands Desire Sect put on an elegant appearance and said which he stroked his beard, “This time, us devil cultivators sent out all of our elites and will definitely return with a lot of rewards. If any of your disciples have severe losses, I hope you will not feel too much heartache!”
“HAHAHA~” As the devil cultivators heard that, a wave of arrogant laughter was immediately sparked.The righteous cultivators would naturally not bear with the humiliation. The short-tempered Daoist HuoLong immediately retaliated with a cold laughter, “I admit that I cannot compare to your ability in talking big. But if you want to compare fighting! Hmph hmph, our disciples have 3 spiritual artifacts on their hands. It is not something that merely the devil cultivators can compare to!”
“Haha!” As the righteous cultivators heard that, they immediately began laughing.
