CHAPTER 242
The Answer Was Predictable
============================================================
"Master Su, it's all Rou'er's fault! Rou'er begs you, spare our Master!"
Su Cheng could imagine that if Shangguan Rou weren't immobilized now, she'd likely crawl over to shield Cheng Liang from the blade.
Su Cheng had expected some divine intervention or ancient deity to intervene, but never imagined it would be this Shangguan Rou.
"I know Cheng Liang. He's not the type to let things go easily. All I want is for my disciple to be happy. You must understand that, right?"
"Yes, Rou'er understands. Rou'er will persuade Master not to do anything foolish again!"
"Heh."
With a laugh, Su Cheng slowly raised Zero Two. Since that was the case, he would leave it to fate—this was the power to destroy the world.
As Zero Two descended, no one else appeared this time.
This battle had nearly wiped out the elders—only two remained, both gravely wounded. The disciples suffered heavy casualties as well. Even Shangguan Rou was on the verge of being crippled!
Zero Two's blade sliced through flesh with effortless ease, piercing bodies with grace.
"Master!"
Shangguan Rou's legs were nearly useless, and her Wind-Chanting Blade had vanished into a streak of light.
Crawling toward Cheng Liang in this state, Su Cheng made no attempt to stop her.
"Remember what you said." Su Cheng watched Shangguan Rou. As for whether she could kill Cheng Liang, he had already known the answer in an instant.
Hmph, truly disgusting.
Unless it was true authority, other weapons were unlikely to completely erase a man crowned with the title of protagonist.
Su Cheng was about to leave. He had vented his anger, and just moments ago, he had received the system alert about the intrusion into Lingxian Hall.
After all, his disciples and elders were still inside the Lingxian Hall!
What if something dangerous happened?
He hadn't even managed to placate his second disciple yet. If she and Yu Lan were to face danger now, how could he, as the sect master, bear the responsibility?
The artifact for teleporting back to Lingxian Hall was on Yu Lan's person, so he could only return by flying sword. Su Cheng hurried back as well.
An intrusion into Lingxian Hall could only mean two things: Either the little bunny had obediently opened the door.
Or else, a truly terrifying force has descended!
And at this moment, Lingxian Hall clearly faced the latter.
"Mhm, I understand everything. Shiyu, don't be afraid. That trench isn't a match for your sister!"
The fox stood with arms crossed, head held high. Hmph, and it had nothing to do with Su Cheng?
Just look at Li Shiyu's expression—it absolutely has something to do with Su Cheng!
"Yes, Sister Shiyu, rest assured. I'll have them go chop off Su Cheng's head and bring it to you!"
Li Shiyu was starting to panic too!
Is this right?
This is completely wrong!
She hurriedly stopped Sister Liu and Sister Xiang, simultaneously grabbing the subordinate standing behind the two Immortal Lords!
Truthfully, Dongfang Jue felt that Li Shiyu was the one truly chosen by heaven!
How dare she?
Su Muchan was also somewhat incredulous. It was one thing for the two Immortal Lords to be kind to her, but aside from that fox's promiscuous ways, the two personal guards behind that big fox had arms thicker than Li Shiyao's waist!
The gaze peering through the folds of the hood seemed to devour Li Shiyu whole!
But Li Shiyu wasn't the least bit afraid!
She grabbed one with each hand—one was Amber, the captain of the Valkyries, and the other was the towering commander of the personal guard's pursuit unit!
Su Muchan could sense the astonishment beneath those ghostly masks and hoods. Truthfully, she feared Li Shiyao might lose her hands the instant she reached out…
"Sister Xiang, Sister Liu, this isn't Master's fault. It's all my doing…"
The two Immortal Lords exchanged glances, while Yu Lan and Dongfang Jue looked at each other in bewilderment…
"Made a mistake?"
The pink-haired Immortal immediately wore a displeased expression: "Shiyao did nothing wrong!"
Hmph, even if she did make a mistake, it must be someone else's fault!
The white-haired Immortal narrowed her beautiful eyes, her mind already spinning: "Shiyao, don't be afraid. With your sister here, you can do no wrong!"
Hmph, who decides what's wrong? Su Cheng?
"Look what they did to our Shiyu! It's all red!"
"No, this wasn't done by our Master."
Only then did Li Shiyu realize why the two Immortal Lords were angry—they'd mistakenly thought their Master had struck her!
"You don't need to cover for that bastard. I've wanted to kill him for ages!"
"Yeah, we know what a jerk Su Cheng is. Just watch me take care of him!"
This plot—wasn't that exactly like her back then?
These two Immortal Lords—no matter what they said, they were convinced that Su Cheng's scumbag wasn't a good person!
Yes, Li Shiyao had felt the same way back then!
But judging by the way these two Immortal Lords are acting, it seems like our Master might not be their match!
"Sister Liu, Sister Xiang, listen to Shiyu—Master didn't strike me. This was my own doing…"
Mid-sentence, Li Shiyu suddenly froze…
This kind of thing… she found it a bit… hard to say…
She was slow to react, but she wasn't stupid. And this certainly wasn't something to brag about!
"Is Shiyu trying to make excuses for Master?"
The Flower-Seeking Immortal was known for being reasonable, but equally known for having her own mind. No matter what, Su Cheng's trench was undeniably involved!
"No…"
As she spoke, a wave of hurt washed over her cheeks, and tears instantly filled her eyes!
Under the gaze of the crowd, her emotions reached their peak. As concern swirled around Li Shiyu, the pent-up grievances in her heart became impossible to suppress!
She had been putting on such a convincing act just moments ago…
"Hey? Shiyu, don't cry! If you're facing any difficulties, tell Xiao Ai. Xiao Ai will definitely help you!"
"That's right! Tell your sister, and she'll definitely stand up for you!"
Hearing this, Li Shiyu completely lost it!
She threw herself into the big fox's arms, wiping her tears and snot all over the fox's spotless, snow-white dress!
But the big fox didn't seem bothered at all. Instead, she held Li Shiyu with a calm expression.
"What happened?"
Li Shiyu slowly lifted her tear-filled, reddened eyes, looking as though she'd suffered the greatest injustice, as if the entire world had ganged up on her alone!
"Master… sniffle sniffle… you don't like Shiyu anymore…"
The Flower-Seeking Immortal narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke, "Understood. Proceed with the original plan!"
"No! That's not it…!"
One arm wrapped around the big fox's waist, the other hand just wiped away tears and snot before grabbing the pink-haired girl!
"Shiyao, calm down. Speak slowly."
The Valkyries, who had been poised to act, stood down once more…
Li Shiyu wept uncontrollably, her words breaking into fragments!
"Shiyao got touched on her arm and thigh by a bad man… Master doesn't like Shiyao anymore… Waaah!"
"So he hit you?"
"No, Shiyu thought… if she washed the places the bad man touched clean… maybe then Master would like Shiyu again…"
Honestly, Dongfang Jue and Su Muchan were both dumbfounded. They knew just how resilient Li Shiyu was!
Was she this obsessed with cleanliness? And this harsh on herself?
