Chapter 196 : The Hallmaster Wants to Get Married Off 12 (2/2)

“Call your men back. Have ‘em raise hell.” Shi Sheng had lowered her voice to a volume only the two of them could hear.

Bu Jingyun’s expression remained aloof. “Why should I?”

“Because I’m your future wife!” Shi Sheng propped up her smiling face, “Are you really just going to let them bully me?”

‘Just who’s bullying whom?! Look at those people! Which one seems capable of bullying you?!’ Bu Jingyun had been pushed to the point he could feel his innards aching as he repeatedly clenched and released his hands.

“Come on, pleeeease?” Shi Sheng suddenly started acting cute, her entire image changing in a heartbeat and catching Bu Jingyun off-guard.

‘Look how flexible I am! Not only can I act cute, I can even sell my services! But not my body! That’s a matter of principle!’

All of a sudden, Bu Jingyun’s ears turned red. He was not going to admit he’d just found her cute! Definitely not!

“Hmph!” He quickly shifted his gaze.

Though he humphed, his hand reached into his sleeve and pulled out a piece of polished jade. He lightly pressed on it, but the jade showed no reaction.

He tried again, but got the same result.

Once more, Bu Jingyun’s ears turned red. He gave Shi Sheng a side glance before passing her the jade and speaking reservedly, “Crush it.”

Shi Sheng, “…”

‘So you were just unable to crush it? You’re telling me that WASN’T a special communication method? Well, what were you trying to show-off for then?! 1/10.’

Shi Sheng received the jade and injected her spirit energy inside, causing it to snap in half with a crunch.

“Shen Yaoguang, what are you doing?!”

A furious roar accompanied the sound of jade shattering.

Shi Sheng tossed the broken piece of jade away before turning to answer Zhong Shiyi with a smile, “Didn’t you guys want a rematch? I helped you call them back!”

“And you said you weren’t in cahoots with Nine Silences Hall!” Zhong Shiyi flew into a rage, “If you weren’t in cahoots with them, why would you have a way to contact them?!”

“Eh, you can say what you like. Whatever floats your boat, dude.” Shi Sheng shrugged indifferently.

“Shen Yaoguang!”

“What’re you yelling for? I’m not deaf.” Shi Sheng picked at her ear. “Do you believe I’d get Nine Silences Hall to exterminate you guys if you continue yelling?”

Zhong Shiyi’s face was like a painter’s palette. Green one moment, and white the next. It somehow managed to look rather pretty.

Shocked by Shi Sheng’s words, everyone retreated several steps to clear an area around her

“Is Senior Yaoguang really in cahoots with Nine Silences Hall?”

“If she wasn’t, she wouldn’t have said those things! And just now, that jade she crushed was a transmission jade. She couldn’t have really called Nine Silences Hall back, could she?”

“Ah…”

The low volumes of discussion occasionally made their way into Bu Jingyun’s ears. He turned his face slightly to glance at the girl standing next to him. She was looking towards the stage with only a slight smile, as if she was completely unaffected by the discussions around her.

She looked like she was in another world entirely, separated from them by an invisible barrier. It made her unable to fit in, yet at the same time, it made her stand out.
