Martial King's Retired Life

Yungu’s brightness returned. “Young Master Hua, people need to stop calling you stupid when you’re so perceptive. You’re the first outsider to correctly guess our plan.”

“What do you want?”

“Did you not just state it? This one does not dare to kill you, but breaking your legs, taking your relic and healing Lord Miguo are not out of bounds, are they?”

“Leng Jingliu is Mr. Shen’s disciple…”

“Indeed. He won’t protect you, however, especially not when he knows that our three factions would team up on him if he tried anything now.”

“Today is Lotus Convention! Miguo and I are competing for leadership! How can you interfere?!”

Yungu amplified her voice. “You were the one who stated that everyone has a fair chance at competing for leadership, no? This one humbly wishes to offer what unworthy help she can.”

Yungu thrust her hand past Hua Qing’s guard to tag him on the chest, only to pull away in a panic before she transferred her yin energy into him. Although she maintained her usual expression, she retreated twice as fast as she advanced and without the same precision. “Great Guardian Wen!”

Standing in front of Hua Qing, Zhuxing Wuchang giddily responded, “What are you trying to do to my brother?”

“The question is, what are you doing?” Yungu’s brows came together.

“You said we’re competing for leadership, didn’t you? If you can compete for it, why can’t I?”

“Mr. Bai! What is the meaning of this?!”

“Doing as you suggested, no?”

“When did I ever suggest this?”

“Acting on emotions is this old one’s image and Divine Moon Sect’s credo. If he listens to your suggestion to not act on emotions, he’d be blaspheming cult tenets. He cannot let down his leader. Sword Paragon.”

“Present.” Zhuxing Wuchang vanished out of sight.

Bai Tianbin lifted up the corners of his lips. “Let there be anarchy.”

Zhuxing Wuchang emerged in view again with head eight maidens’ heads, blood still spilling out from their necks. The last thing Yungu expected was for her assassins’ presences to be known, much less taken out so quick.

The blonde man flashed a corner of his white pearls. “Already on it.”
