“My Lord, for the sake of the big picture…” implored one of the men in black. They could obviously tell that Mu Liufeng was in acquaintance with this young maiden, but so what?
“My Lord, please think through this matter carefully. If my Lord cannot bear to take action, let this subordinate do so…” said the other man in black. However, both of them were sure that Mu Liufeng would definitely silence the young maiden.
Ling Chuxi frowned as she looked at Mu Liufeng. The Luo Chen Sword in her hand ready to be swung at any moment.
However, nobody accurately guessed Mu Liufeng’s decision.
Mu Liufeng did indeed silence someone, but… Not the one everyone had in mind.
Mu Liufeng let out a light laugh. “Kekeke!” His laugh was unbridled and frivolous. White light emitted from his sword as he executed a backhand move. The two men in black widened their eyes as they looked at Mu Liufeng in disbelief. Then, they saw blood spurting out from their own throats. The two of them twitched slowly before silently crumbling to the ground.
On the other hand, Mu Liufeng had quickly moved aside and patted his own chest as he spoke with a soft yelp. “Oh, how dangerous, how dangerous. I was almost tainted by blood. Ugh, how disgusting that would have been.”
Ling Chuxi on the other hand, did not manage to avoid the blood spatters in time and a few drops of blood ended up landing on her. Her back suddenly chilled. Mu Liufeng had actually killed two of his subordinates so easily and without even a sign! How was this so? Seeing how Mu Liufeng’s face bore a smile that practically shouted, “I don’t care”, Ling Chuxi could only feel waves of chills in her heart.
“Aren’t they your people?” Ling Chuxi managed to will herself to speak with much difficulty.
“My people?” Mu Liufeng let rip a laugh. “Hahaha! Little Chuxi, you tell such jokes.” A teasing smile appeared on Mu Liufeng’s devilish face as he suddenly reached out a hand to lightly pinch Ling Chuxi’s chin. “In this world, there is no one I trust.” ‘Indeed, I trust no one. Not even myself.’
“Mu Liufeng… Who exactly are you…” asked Ling Chuxi, stunned, as she stared at the devilish face in front of her. She seemed to detect a deep hatred towards the world within the gazes of not caring about a single thing and that nothing could be worthy enough in Mu Liufeng’s eyes.
“I am your Master,” deflected Mu Liufeng once more. His smile was full of unreadable feelings. He let go of her chin and retracted his hand. “Go back to your room, Little Chuxi. We will meet again.” Once he finished speaking, Mu Liufeng turned around and disappeared into the night.
Ling Chuxi looked into obscure night and then looked at the corpses of the two men in black lying prone on the ground. She frowned slightly before turning around and rushing back to the inn.
…
Mu Liufeng weaved through the forest with an unbridled, faint smile. He suddenly stopped and turned around, narrowing his eyes slightly. “You don’t have to be so nervous. I won’t hurt her.” ‘At least for now. Indeed, at least for now I won’t. Little Chuxi, I am really anticipating your growth. If you leave me dissatisfied, I will personally end you.’
“Do you think you can?” spoke a voice as cold as an ice flower. It was so clear that it rang out across the night sky. Then, Huangfu Qingjue’s tall and straight figure slowly appeared from behind a big tree. His silver hair was so beautiful, it could easily cause one’s heart to tremble.
“I am very curious as to who you are,” asked Mu Liufeng with a smile as he gently raised his brow and tilted his head slightly.
“Don’t be.” Huangfu Qingjue’s cold face was expressionless, but his tone carried a surprising murderous intent.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. There’s no need to be so serious. I told you I won’t hurt Little Chuxi,” said Mu Liufeng with a wave of his hand and a smile. “So that’s that then, aren’t you going back to accompany her? I have to go since I still have other matters to attend to. I guess we’ll meet again another time.” After Mu Liufeng finished speaking, he turned around and with a few light leaps, he was once again swallowed by the darkness of night.
