Chapter 192 : The Hallmaster Wants to Get Married Off 8 (1/2)
The Nine Silences Hall representative was currently exchanging pleasantries with the Principal of Nine Provinces Academy.
Since the two were experienced at diplomacy, the two sides hadn’t come to blows. But suddenly, a charred figure sprinted over from the distance.
“Sentinel, bad news! Hallmaster’s been kidnapped!” The charred figure stumbled over to a burly-looking man as fast as he could, “Sentinel, the Hallmaster’s been kidnapped!”
The representatives of Nine Provinces Academy all glanced at each other. ‘Bu Jingyun?
He actually came?! And he got kidnapped! Which mighty senior did this?!’
“By whom?!” Sentinel grabbed the person, “How did you even protect the Hallmaster? He-”
He suddenly stopped himself from continuing as he remembered that outsiders were still present. He forcefully suppressed his anxiety and nodded at the delegates from Nine Provinces Academy, “We have some private affairs to deal with. We’ll be on time for the competition in three days though, so don’t worry.”
“Do you require any assistance?” The Principal inquired with feigned concern, though the gloating in his eyes betrayed his actual thoughts.
‘That nutjob Bu Jingyun’s finally got his comeuppance!’
“Thank you for your concern Principal, but I believe we can handle this on our own,” Sentinel spoke coldly, “Let’s go.”
Only when they’d left the grounds of Nine Provinces Academy did Sentinel start questioning, “Where are the others? How did Hallmaster get kidnapped? Just what the hell were you guys doing?!”
“I…” The person being interrogated was lost in the barrage of questions.
“What’re you ‘I’-ing for?! You said Hallmaster’s been kidnapped? Where to?!” Sentinel felt the urge to hit the man, but seeing as he was basically a singed mess, he reluctantly withdrew his raised hand.
“I… don’t know…” The person weakly replied. The only reason he’d managed to barely survive the explosion was because he’d been standing further back. ‘That girl was already there by the time we arrived, how am I supposed to know who she is?’
“Don’t know…” Sentinel’s chest heaved quickly for a while as he attempted to calm himself. However, he didn’t win the fight against his temper this time; he whacked the person on the head, “Your lives are forfeit if you don’t find the Hallmaster!”
……
Shi Sheng brought Bu Jingyun to a moderately-sized compound. She’d bought this place recently, having planned to reside here after destroying the Shen Clan, though she certainly hadn’t expected it to be of use so soon.
Shi Sheng tied Bu Jingyun to a chair and circled him once before suddenly reaching out to take off his clothes.
“What are you doing?!” Bu Jingyun’s expression changed dramatically as he pulled away from her, “I’d rather die than bow to your wishes!”
Shi Sheng grabbed his clothes before glaring at him. “Don’t move!”
Bu Jingyun, “…”
‘Guards! I want to kill this damn woman!’
Shi Sheng stripped Bu Jingyun with practiced movements before rubbing her chin in satisfaction, “That’s much better. You’re a man for chrissake, what’re you wearing all red for?”
Bu Jingyun, “…” ‘So what if I wear all red? I like it! Give me back my clothes!’
Shi Sheng pulled out several bottles and containers from her space and pushed them towards Bu Jingyun, “Come on now, you get to swallow whichever one is to your liking.”
Bu Jingyun scanned the labels on the bottles.
‘Soul-shatter Powder…
Ghost Tear Pill…
Yellow Springs Jade…
Rebirth In Fire…
Facets Of Nature…
Come on! These are clearly poisons, yet you want me to pick one to swallow?!’
“Don’t worry. They aren’t fatal; however, you’ll have to take the antidotes regularly, else you’ll croak. As long as you obediently stay by my side, antidotes are not a problem,” Shi Sheng pushed the various bottles and containers to Bu Jingyun, “Come on, choose.”
