Chapter 131

The Master Saves The Servant

Li Chengfeng leapt before Grand Senior Brother, reaching out to grab him but Grand Senior Brother disappeared into thin air. He heard a voice above his head.

“You can't even pa.s.s this? Hidden Sword Court will fall with or without you!”

Li Chengfeng looked up in surprise to see Grand Senior Brother standing on the statue with the sword, looking down at them like a human looking down at tiny ants.

Chengfeng wanted to rage until he realised he did not have any advantage against Grand Senior Brother who was so far above. Nor was he stronger in terms of capabilities. He swallowed his anger and placed Zhao Xiaobao gently on the ground, falling to his knees. “Grand Senior Brother, please save Xiaobao, I beg you! I swear I won't ever betray Hidden Sword Court! If I am every disloyal, the heavens will strike me with lightning and tear my soul to pieces!”

Zhao Xiaobao was already at the brink of death. He coughed up blood and struggled to say, “Y-young Master, d-don't…”

Chengfeng's eyes turned red, turning around to yell at Xiaobao. “Shut up! You shut up!”

Zhao Xiaobao forced a smile and struggled to say, “D-don't… beg… Y-young Master… X-xiaobao is f-fine…”

Chengfeng roared with tears in his eyes, “I told you to shut up! You're not dead yet so you're still my servant! Shut up and that's an order!”

Zhao Xiaobao was also tearing up, gazing pitifully at Li Chengfeng. His blood had already flowed backwards into his throat, causing him to cough. Blood spurted out of his throat. He had a lot to tell Chengfeng but he could no longer speak at this point. He couldn't see Chengfeng clearly anymore, and he recalled the moment they first met more than ten years ago.

…

“Hey, what's your name?”

“Zhao… Z-zhao Xiaobao?”

“That's such a feminine name! Your parents must be very mean to give you such a girly name!”

“Oh… I… d-don't have any parents…”

“Sigh, how pitiful. Hey, remember this. Now that you're with me, and I'm the boss on this turf, just tell me if anyone bullies you! I'll beat them up! Remember, only we bully them, never the other way round! Do you hear me?”

“Y-yes…”

“My goodness, look at you! I feel like I'm going against the law of nature if I don't bully you!”

“Hey, why are you kneeling? Get up?”

“But I did something wrong.”

“Then fix it, don't just kneel for no reason! Are you dumb? Or spineless?”

“I-I'm scared…”

“Just stand up! Remember this! A man does not kneel! We only kneel for the heavens, the earth and our parents but no one else! Do you hear me?!”

Young Master…A man does not kneel, have you forgotten?

A tear fell from Xiaobao's eye as the world darkened before him. The last thing he saw was a ray of golden light.

At the peak of Chengfeng's panic, a ray of light shot at them from Grand Senior Brother. It was a Fulu Seal. It stuck to Xiaobao's body and burned up instantly, though it did not burn his clothes. After it burned up, the golden inscriptions remained on his body, flowing into him like water.
