Chapter 104: Daring Recklessness
Chapter 104: Daring Recklessness
That person was sent stumbling back several steps by Ling Yi’s punch. A mouthful of blood spurted from their mouth.
They stared at Ling Yi with a face full of terror.
Seeing this, the other person also raised their sword and stabbed towards Ling Yi.
With one arm holding Luo Xue, Ling Yi threw another punch with his other hand.
Thump!
The Fist Aura on his fist actually transformed into a longsword, piercing directly into the other person’s shoulder!
Ling Yi gave his wrist a slight shake. The sword-holding arm of his opponent fell with a crack.
Clang!
The sword, along with the severed arm, clattered onto the cold concrete floor with a crisp sound.
Diwu Qianqian instantly turned pale and retreated two steps.
That she could talk about life and death lightly didn’t mean she had truly seen through them.
In fact, she had never even witnessed real life and death before!
Luo Xue hugged Ling Yi’s arm a little tighter. She knew who these people were.
Therefore, she couldn’t let things continue to develop like this.
She was just about to let go when Ling Yi’s arm wrapped around her firmly. “Don’t let go.”
Luo Xue stared blankly at Ling Yi, then softly hummed in agreement, even leaning her head against his chest.
Just as Diwu Qianqian’s little heart was thumping with fright, she was suddenly force-fed a mouthful of “dog food” like this.
Was this the one I previously chose… the target through whom to experience Supreme Detachment?
Would he and his girlfriend mind having one more girlfriend?
Those two men, one lightly injured and one seriously wounded by Ling Yi’s consecutive attacks, both looked at him with extreme fury.
The one who had spat blood earlier gritted his teeth and said, “Do you have any idea what you just did? Tired of living? Let her go right now!”
Ling Yi glanced at Diwu Qianqian. “Qianqian, someone is causing trouble right on your senior brother, the Chu State State Preceptor Lu Qingming’s turf. Can your senior brother, the Chu State State Preceptor Lu Qingming, stand for this?”
Diwu Qianqian: “…”
What messy, convoluted nonsense is this?
My senior brother would be overjoyed if you died, okay?
Even with her limited worldly experience, she could tell this was Ling Yi maliciously shifting the blame.
Ling Yi was just casually throwing shade. He didn’t actually think a single sentence from him could pit this Sect against Lu Qingming.
But planting seeds of discord was still something worth doing.
Plant more of them, who knows when they might come in handy.
“Luo Xue, how dare you be so shameless…” The young man with the severed arm, while desperately trying to stop his own bleeding, angrily scolded Luo Xue: “Once the Young Master finds out, your entire family will…”
Luo Xue’s face paled somewhat, but the look in her eyes grew sharper.
All along, the reason she didn’t dare fight to the death truly wasn’t for her own sake.
With her temperament, if she were alone in the world, she would have refused without hesitation, preferring mutual destruction over compromise.
But she was afraid of implicating Ling Yi, and afraid of implicating her family.
So she had tread carefully all these years.
Only now, it seemed, she had still failed.
Since she had failed…
Luo Xue looked at Ling Yi. “Kill them.”
Ling Yi nodded. “Okay.”
With a casual grab, the sword that had been in the severed arm’s hand appeared in Ling Yi’s grasp.
“Luo Xue, how dare you betray the Sect…”
“Ling Yi, how dare you kill us, we are…”
Thump! Thump! Two sword strikes.
Clean and decisive.
“You’re just a piece of trash. At this point, what wouldn’t I dare?” After killing the two men, Ling Yi tossed the sword aside and looked at the nearly tearful Diwu Qianqian. “See? That’s what a bad person is.”
Diwu Qianqian wanted to act carefree, to smile at Ling Yi to show she didn’t mind.
But her tightly drawn little face simply wouldn’t relax.
“Let’s go.” Ling Yi kept his arm around Luo Xue, stepped over the two corpses, and walked straight out.
By the time they exited the building, the sky was completely dark, the time past eight in the evening.
Strangely, despite such a major incident, there was no commotion at all outside.
Even the people who had been in the lobby had vanished without a trace at some point.
Diwu Qianqian lightly bit her lower lip, looking at Ling Yi. “What do we do next…”
Ling Yi smiled. “Good friend, let’s discuss something else…”
Diwu Qianqian: “…”
She was starting to tremble a little just hearing the word ‘friend’ now, and ‘good friend’… was even more terrifying!
One minute later, Diwu Qianqian stood there on the verge of tears, watching helplessly as Ling Yi drove off in her sports car with Luo Xue.
At this moment, she really wanted to scream!
What good friend? I’m just a tool, okay?
She grabbed her phone and called the young man with the gold-rimmed glasses. “Are you dead? Send a car to pick me up right now! Don’t tell me you don’t know what happened here!”
Gold-rimmed glasses young man: Convex (grass vessel grass) [a frustrated emoticon]
Lu Qingming’s residence.
Lu Qingming, having received the news, was somewhat shocked.
The young prince, who was still with him, was also stunned. He looked at the person who came to report. “He actually killed those two Sect disciples?”
Upon receiving confirmation, Lu Qingming frowned deeply and murmured, “Things… have become rather difficult to handle!”
The young prince glanced at him. “He’s the one who killed them. What does it have to do with us? Isn’t this exactly what we hoped for?”
Lu Qingming shook his head. “They still died right under our noses. And… the incident itself isn’t the main issue. Even if the other side blames us, they understand the primary culprit. The trouble I’m talking about is Ling Yi…”
The young prince thought for a moment. “Sir, are you saying that since he acts so recklessly, he must have some backing?”
Lu Qingming nodded. “Yes.”
The young prince murmured, “Great powers above Dao Enlightenment do not enter the Mortal World or interfere in secular affairs. That is the rule of the Cultivation World. If some Primordial Spirit really tries to upset the human balance, I believe the great powers within those top Cultivation sects won’t just stand by.”
Lu Qingming smiled bitterly. “That may be so, but if such a thing truly happens, the ones who suffer first will still be us.”
The young prince took a deep breath. “Then what should we do? Could it be… we just watch him return alive to the Qin State?”
Lu Qingming thought for a moment and said, “First, let’s adopt a wait-and-see approach. That Sect lost two disciples. They will never let it go!”
In the ultra-luxury sports car, Ling Yi drove while looking very disdainfully at a drop of blood that had somehow splattered onto his clothes.
Luo Xue sat in the passenger seat, lost in thought, not even in the mood to ask who the woman in red was.
It was clear Ling Yi had caused huge trouble!
But this trouble, he had no choice but to cause!
The moment the two of them embraced and were seen, many things were already destined.
How strong the Young Master of the Sect’s desire for control was, Luo Xue knew very well.
Although he seemed never to interfere in her life, in reality, his people were everywhere!
They would always let her discover them unintentionally, then quietly disappear.
The clever Luo Xue knew very well he was using this method to warn her not to do anything improper.
Today, those two saw her embracing Ling Yi. Once word reached the Young Master of the Sect, he would surely fly into a thunderous rage.
Rather than that, she might as well go all the way!
But the problem was, their strength was far too weak!
Compared to that Sect, even if Great Qin used the entire nation’s power, it might not be their match.
Also, her family would definitely face retaliation.
However, one thing she was sure of was that before they caught her, her family wouldn’t have any major problems.
“Why aren’t you saying anything?” Ling Yi spoke up to distract from the drop of blood.
“We might have to flee for our lives next,” Luo Xue looked at him.
“Great, we can be a pair of outlaw lovers, specializing in robbing those Sects,” Ling Yi said with a laugh.
“You still have the mood to laugh?” Luo Xue couldn’t help glancing at Ling Yi.
“Why not?” Ling Yi looked at her. “Don’t worry, it’s not as bad as you think.”
Perhaps infected by Ling Yi’s calm composure, Luo Xue nodded gently.
The two returned to their lodgings, startling Gu Tong, Qin Hao, and the others.
They had gone in a car sent by Lu Qingming’s side, so how did they come back driving a supercar?
And they even brought back Luo Xue, who had been detained by Chu State?
Qin State’s Intelligence Department wasn’t very strong in the Capital of Great Chu, unable to cover everything, so they hadn’t received the news before.
Seeing Luo Xue, both Qin Hao and Gu Tong were so shocked they couldn’t speak.
Even Qi Gaofeng was alerted immediately, hurriedly gathering everyone to ask what had happened.
After Ling Yi briefly explained the course of events, everyone was speechless.
They were all actually accustomed to living under various rules. Even if they occasionally had thoughts of breaking them, when it came time to actually do so, most would hesitate and shrink back.
How many were there like Ling Yi, who acted without regard or hesitation?
But thinking of his previous actions, they understood.
This was someone who seemed low-key but, when fierce, could scare a person to death.
Logically, Ling Yi’s actions today had already stirred up immense trouble, but strangely, Chu State’s side showed no movement at all.
This even made Qi Gaofeng feel somewhat incredulous.
Ling Yi explained with a smile: “First, because this matter relates to Lu Qingming’s side, a young lady from the Sect with very high status and position was also involved; second, though the two I killed were Sect disciples, they had no real connection to Chu State. Even before this, they pressured Chu State to release someone. So, Lu Qingming would be more than happy for me to oppose that Sect, for us to fight to the death.”
Gu Tong looked at Ling Yi, thinking to himself why there are always girls helping you wherever you go?
Luo Xue sat beside Ling Yi, giving him a strange glance, feeling Ling Yi seemed to know a lot of things.
He shouldn’t know that much, right?
She was sending a message to her mother, truthfully telling her mother Yang Xiu about the situation here, also wanting her family to be prepared in advance.
“If people from over there really come looking for you, just say you know nothing, push all the blame onto us. Ling Yi and I will handle these problems!”
After sending the message to her mother, Luo Xue looked at Ling Yi, who was talking with Qi Gaofeng and the others, and her heart gradually settled down.
Yes, it would definitely be resolved!
After hearing Ling Yi’s words, Qi Gaofeng thought for a moment, then simply smiled faintly: “Alright, then let Miss Luo Xue stay here for now. The situation can’t get much worse. We’ll deal with soldiers when they come, block water with earth.”
Ling Yi looked at Qi Gaofeng and sincerely thanked him.
This was a person with backbone and a sense of responsibility.
If it were some cowardly person, they’d probably expel them from the Diplomatic Mission immediately and actively hand them over to Great Chu for judgment.
They could also find many high-sounding excuses to gloss over it.
But this person, after only a moment’s thought, decided to protect them.
So Ling Yi also decided that if that day really came, he would fight with all his might to protect this group of people!
“Enchantress, shouldn’t we think of a way to get some resources?”
Back in the room, Ling Yi asked.
“Hmm, at Lu Qingming’s place, there’s a complete Spirit Stone Vein. I sensed it stretches all the way under the Great Chu Imperial Palace. It should count as a Dragon Vein. Find a good entry point, and we’ll drain it dry.”
The Enchantress said calmly, then added: “By the way, where Lu Qingming lives, there’s a Miniature World. Many top-grade Great Medicinal Herbs are planted inside. Find time to go again and pull them all back.”
