Chapter 173 (2/2)

Xuehtly twitched before he turned his head to look at the crowd surrounding the their head low around hi with fury in their eyes It was as if the lizards that were once sto beasts!

With their intense gaze, Xue Man couldn't help but be stubborn with his words He looked at Chengfeng unconvinced as he muttered to himself, 'Beat me to death if you dare!'

As if he had heard what Xue Man was thinking, Chengfeng irily exclaiuts to talk now, huh? Did you think your master Qian Shanxue would co and money extortion antics? Once the senior uncles know about this, this would beco if they don't skin you alive! And yet you think your master would save you from this?”

As his body trembled, Xue Man's face was as white as a sheet The only reason he was allowed to work here was because of Qian Xueshan's influence But nos that could never be exposed to the public Back then, no one dared to report his actions to Qian Shanxue, because they were too afraid to offend a powerful cultivator like him

If his ht, there was no doubt that Qian Shanxue would do this best to save his own face After all, his reputation was far more important than some lowly servant

Just as Xue Man thought about this, he was filled with iret Why did he have to provoke this hot-blooded young man? Does he not fear hoerful his master was? But even so, he was the one who caused this misfortune to fall upon himself

However, Xue Man knew that he could not back down If he did, this wouldhisQian Shanxue, he would certainly suffer a fate worse than death Which hy he had to clench his teeth and hold onto his dignity; only then he ht still have a slither of hope to stay alive

As Xue Man understood his situation, he becaritted his teeth while he glared at Chengfeng, and exclaimed, “I am the only one who is responsible for thisto do with my master! So don't you dare slander my master like that!”

Chengfeng was taken aback, but he was still filled with rage However, beneath his anger still laid a calm composure He knew that if a commotion were to be made of this matter, it would not benefit him in any way The best course of action was to intimidate his opponent and lure them into submission

But since this punk chose to fight back, it was going to be a bit hard to handle

Chengfeng clenched his teeth and gave hi another punch to Xue Man's face Xue Man's face and the ground surrounding him was now covered in blood

Xue Man wailed in pain as he cried, “Beat uts! I dare you! Beat me to death!”

Chengfeng sneered as he grabbed Xue Man by his collar to beat him up once more But before he could do that, a crisp voice could be heard outside the crowd as it asked, “What has happened?”

The crowd instantaneously turned their head around to look at the owner of the voiceHe had a long face, triangular eyes and droopy eyebrows that showed a naturally melancholic expression This person was none other than Qin Mieqin

Seeing that Qin Mieqin had arrived, Su You and the rest of the gang finally sighed in relief

Tianjun whispered to the rest, “Has Senior Brother Qin and the rest returned already? That was quick Seems like this time, their mission was quite simple”

Su You slightly nodded, “Thank goodness Senior Brother Qin has arrived If not, Junior Brother Chengfeng is going to get hi trouble!”

Chengfeng hesitated but ulti However, the second he saw Qin Mieqin arrive, Xue Man eagerly screamed “Senior Brother Qin, how dare a junior of yours from Hidden Sword Court offend his senior!”

“Offending a senior?” Qin Mieqin asked emotionlessly as he sloalked to the centre of the scene, while he observed their surroundings

Qin Mieqin was not only the main moderator of the precept hall, but he was also theoretically the youngest precept arbiter aeneration of Spiritual Mountain Sect He ell known to be just and righteous, with an emotionless stone-like face He was known not even to bat an eye even if his family were on trial

Qin Mieqin stared at Xue Man, “So, you're the senior?” Then proceeded to look at Chengfeng “And he's the junior? Tell me, how did you draw this conclusion?”

Xue Man replied furiously, “It has been thirty years since I've joined the Sect If ere to talk about seniority, I am his senior brother! He's a junior, yet he dared to beathis senior'the precepts frorave sin?!”

Qin Mieqin gave it soht, then slowly answered, “Hidden Sword Court's Twelve Coainst authority! WE KILL!”
