Chapter Ninety-Six: Qing Xiu Turned Out to Be a Master (2)

Liu E had been beaten miserably; there was hardly a spot on his body that did not ache.

Qingxiu was truly ruthless when she fought. Every move she made was aimed to kill.

Liu E found himself questioning life. Was this child really a child?

This was downright monstrous. Her cultivation was so high, and yet they were clearly about the same age!

“All right, Chu Zhaoting, you go. Liu E, take a break!” Gu Zhiheng called out. If he did not stop them, he feared Qingxiu might beat the man into a psychological shadow.

At his words, Chu Zhaoting, who had only a moment ago been enjoying Liu E’s misfortune, immediately darkened.

Finished. Now it was his turn. He would probably get beaten just as badly.

Stand firm at the center. Keep your weight low. Attack faster!

He kept talking nonstop, all while remembering to take a bite of watermelon.

The few who had not yet gone up felt their scalps prickle, and Gu Zhiheng’s instructions made their heads buzz. This was simply too outrageous.

Qingxiu, no holding back. Go after him. If you disobey, go back to Mistbrow Mountain!

At the sharp rebuke, Qingxiu’s expression changed.

She did not want to go back. She wanted to stay with her master. So, sorry about this.

Everyone, in order not to grow mold on Mistbrow Mountain, I have been rude.

Now that was settled, in order not to be sent back, she would have to thoroughly offend these few people.

Too much nonsense. Attack his lower body, and watch out for his right hand!

Gu Zhiheng rolled his eyes and took another drink of wine.

He would not stop talking, eating watermelon, and drinking all at once.

Who would have thought that one day Gu Zhiheng would be the one guiding others? It was a strange feeling indeed.

Hmm, I’m tired. I’ll rest for a bit. You all keep going; don’t stop.

He set down the watermelon in his hand and lounged back in the recliner.

It was a little boring. Even with his guidance, they still could not beat Qingxiu.

In any case, it was still early. Let them struggle on their own for a while. After they had their fun, it would be his turn.

He was not Qingxiu. He would not go easy on anyone.

Brother Han, Qingxiu is too strong. Are you sure you can handle her? Chu Xingran tugged at Mo Han’s sleeve, certain that she would only get even worse treatment next.

No certainty, Mo Han said, shaking his head. She doesn’t fight by any set pattern at all. Her attacks change entirely with her mood. I can’t figure her out.

None of you can beat her, and I probably won’t even last long. Besides, she already has the upper hand against me. Chen Yuan felt she was the most pitiful of them all. She had no hope of winning whatsoever.

Don’t worry. She won’t really kill us. She’ll leave us with our lives. Chu Xingran forced a tragic smile, one that looked worse than crying.

Sigh, what is Gu Zhiheng even doing? Is this because I was beaten too much on Mistbrow Mountain back then, and now he wants to make them experience it too?

My life is miserable. Why did I have to be an earthworm in this lifetime? Why must I suffer like this?

Wishing she could cry and yet having no tears, Chen Yuan truly regretted it for a moment.

If only she were not a worm. At the very least, she would still have a chance to struggle. Now she did not even need to struggle.

Mo Han, you go up. Chu Zhaoting, take a break. The rest of you, get ready.

The one who had clearly been sleeping suddenly spoke again, calling the next person out.

Attack her right hand. Her right hand is her weakness. Focus on the right hand.

Though thick with the smell of alcohol, his words were crisp and clear. Even with his eyes closed, he spoke with perfect precision.

That was a realm beyond them. They could not reach it, nor could they truly understand it.

Qingxiu’s attacks have no fixed pattern. They change with your moves. Watch carefully before you strike. So tired. Why had this group suddenly become useless?

He picked up the fan and laid it over his face, no longer bothering with them, and quietly resumed his sleep.

Drinking at midday really was not wise. He felt a little dizzy.

See that? The attacks Brother Han is using are already his strongest moves, and he still can’t win. I can’t even. Chen Yuan could not bear to watch any longer and squatted down on the ground.

Yeah. The two of us basically have no power to resist. We can only try our best to dodge her attacks and reduce the damage. It was not that they had given up on themselves; they truly were no match for her.

Do not be fooled by how small Qingxiu is. Precisely because of that, she is incredibly agile in shifting her style and angle of attack. Every move leaves us scrambling.

Night Zheng’s disciples are all this formidable. Just how terrifying must he have been in his prime? They did not dare imagine it.

It was too frightening. How had someone so powerful been dragged into the mire by the Gu family and a band of rabble?

The matter was shrouded in mystery. No one could imagine what had truly happened back then.

You two go together. Don’t waste time. I still need to eat watermelon later.

Qingxiu beckoned to Chu Xingran and Chen Yuan, signaling for them to attack together.

It was not that she looked down on them. It was simply that Chen Yuan posed no threat to her; one burst of pressure from her would be enough to make Chen Yuan falter.

With that, she would not even need to lift a finger to deal with her.

As for Chu Xingran, her style was similar to Chu Zhaoting’s. Having already studied it somewhat, Qingxiu could bring her down in just a few moves as well.

Simple enough. Consider it daily exercise.

Um... c-could I concede? Do we really need to do this? Chen Yuan truly did not want to fight. To her, Qingxiu was even more frightening than Gu Zhiheng himself taking action.

You should still make a move. In a moment, Master will get angry again. Hurry and attack me!

Hearing Chen Yuan’s words, Qingxiu shook her head in alarm. She did not dare provoke Gu Zhiheng’s anger.

If she were truly sent back, she would never get the chance to come out again.

Her master had said that Mistbrow Mountain would be left for her to inherit and manage. She did not want that broken old mountain, nor did she want to manage that bunch of ancient monsters.

Even though she could beat them now, she did not want to be separated from her master, and she did not want to lose the little worm.

She had finally found them. She absolutely could not be separated from them again. No matter what, she could not.

Seeing Qingxiu remain firm, Chu Xingran and Chen Yuan had no choice but to attack helplessly.

Sure enough, neither of them managed to receive even a single move. Chen Yuan was even slapped flying by Qingxiu.

Waaah, I’m not playing anymore. This is bullying a little worm too much.

Chen Yuan lay on the ground rolling about, bawling at the top of her lungs.

Gu Zhiheng, who had been sleeping soundly, was awakened and glared at Chen Yuan with displeasure. If you can cry that loudly, it means you still have strength to resist. Get up!

Honestly. You’re already hundreds of years old. Do you not feel ashamed crying like that?

Nine Lord, I really am not her match! She was not even a match at all; this was outright one-sided slaughter.

But Chen Yuan did not dare disobey Gu Zhiheng, so she could only cry while taking the blows. The harder she cried, the harder Qingxiu struck.

There was no helping it. Qingxiu did not like watching people cry either. It really did make one irritable.

Chen Yuan kept wailing. Qingxiu found it exasperating and simply knocked her unconscious with one palm.

At last, the world was quiet. She could properly bully her master’s wife now.

No, not master’s wife anymore. The master has broken up with her!

Miss Chu, I have offended you. Please forgive me!

Her words were polite enough, but if she had not struck so hard, Chu Xingran might actually have believed her.

Unfortunately, Qingxiu was a very earnest child, and when she fought, she only ever struck as if trying to kill.
