Chapter 135: She Doesn't Care

Land Xingzhou beheaded Ye Wufeng at Qingyao Garden...

It's hard to imagine the magical power of this sentence, making the Zhenmo Si main hall even quieter than when the gavel strikes, causing Sheng Qingfeng, such an old smooth talker, to be completely stunned there, his mouth half-open like a sculpture.

Until the subordinate stammered and said that the child boy beside Land Xingzhou also participated in the battle, Sheng Qingfeng's expression slightly moved, then as if released from a petrified state, he very heavily patted the subordinate's shoulder: "What's your name again... tomorrow go to the documents department to report, you can come up with the future titles yourself."

Knowing the significant implications of the ghost child's joint attack in this matter, the impact is at least not so outrageous, but it's still very bizarre.

Because no matter how you deduce it, a person like Ye Wufeng, who relies on body techniques, even if he can't beat you, should at least find it not difficult to run away.

There's a big gap between defeating and killing... how exactly did he die so straightforwardly...

No matter what, the case that troubled Zhenmo Si was resolved in one morning. The emotional state of everyone in Zhenmo Si, including Sheng Qingfeng himself, became very good.

Sheng Qingfeng recalled the words Land Xingzhou said at home: "Even if Uncle Father is unwilling to get involved in the Ho family's affairs, if Ye Wufeng dares to injure Miss Sheng, I won't let him off easy."

Who would have thought that what was originally thought to be boastful words was actually fulfilled that very night...

Sheng Qingfeng thought for a moment, waved and instructed: "Go, bring back Ye Wufeng's corpse. The wounds on his body cannot be researched by outsiders, and none of you are allowed to leak anything. Zhenmo Si owes Land Xingzhou a big favor in this matter; we need to protect the privacy of his battle method."

"Yes."

Watching the subordinate leave, Sheng Qingfeng's comfortable expression slowly became a little stiff again.

Oh no, this kid is so reliable, what about his daughter's mood?

For the absolute majority of people, a child participating in battle is almost never taken to heart. A Nuo's role was directly ignored. Now, what's booming through the capital is still that one sentence: Land Xingzhou beheaded Ye Wufeng at Qingyao Garden.

At Yan Yu Lou, Ho Jin looked at a table of cold dishes as if in a dream.

Land Xingzhou hadn't come. He still thought it was deliberately putting on airs by being late, and secretly thought it was also good to wait a little longer. The longer Land Xingzhou wandered outside, the more opportunity Ye Wufeng would have, right?

The result is this... Land Xingzhou had already wandered to Qingyao Garden, that place south-east by north-west. He simply didn't think of coming at all!

Ho Jin looked at the dishes on the table and felt that the pig face on the plate was laughing at him.

And that... how did Land Xingzhou kill Ye Wufeng? Thinking of the scene where he was stared at by Ye Wufeng's eyes and his whole body went numb, Ho Jin simply couldn't imagine it. His heart was pounding like a drum, and he hurriedly went home.

Sheng family.

Lying on the bed recuperating, Sheng Yuan Yao suddenly jumped up and grabbed the reporting maid: "Say that again?"

The maid stammered and repeated it, looking at Miss's eyes with a bit of envy and gossip.

Sheng Yuan Yao understood the maid's eyes, and her pretty face unconsciously became a little hot.

Out of all the places to fight, why choose Qingyao Garden?

Of course, because that's where she, Sheng Yuan Yao, was attacked. Land Xingzhou was openly telling Ye Wufeng that he was avenging her, Sheng Yuan Yao. This point is beyond doubt.

She was attacked in the morning, and that night Ye Wufeng was beheaded. Not even a day passed...

Land Xingzhou was originally a bit reluctant to even agree to deal with Ye Wufeng. After agreeing, he didn't put much effort into it, just doing his own things and reminding himself to be careful, without any initiative. But the night she, Sheng Yuan Yao, was attacked, Land Xingzhou took action...

Thinking of Land Xingzhou's fury when she was injured, Sheng Yuan Yao subconsciously lightly bit her lower lip. The feeling of her heart racing, which had calmed down after resting for a day, jumped up again, and even more severely.

Sheng Yuan Yao turned a few circles in place, and finally couldn't hold back: "I, I'm going out to find him and express my thanks a little."

The maid quickly pulled her back: "Miss, you're injured, don't go out casually..."

"It doesn't matter, he lives in an inn very close by." Where could the maid pull Sheng Yuan Yao? Her voice was still there, but the person had already run away.

On the other side, Land Xingzhou and his group were leisurely returning to the inn. Pei Chu Yun said with a smile: "Honestly, before setting out, I thought I would need to take action."

"Indeed, I had anticipated the need for you to take action. That was the last resort situation. Try not to leave your traces if possible... Overall, you are my confidence card to kill him. Without your escape method, I wouldn't dare to boast that I could keep him."

Pei Chu Yun nodded: "He is quite strong, but in frontal combat, he's relatively average... In single combat, he probably can't beat me. A Nuo, with the premise of the Yuan Magnetic Cake, should also be able to win against him."

"What about when he hides and assassinates?"

Pei Chu Yun was silent for a moment: "Then I really don't have a grasp. His assassination and frontal combat can be said to be two levels of characters... According to the pressure he gives when hiding and assassinating, I still recognize him as the best of the new generation; there's not much exaggeration. Really, such a person would actually discard his biggest advantage and be willing to run out and duel with you head-on. It's simply laughable."

Land Xingzhou sighed: "In this world, probably only I can make him like this... A man's pathetic need to win."

"But you originally didn't treat him as an enemy?"

"Mm." Land Xingzhou was somewhat lost in thought, muttering softly to himself: "In the end, neither of us was in her eyes. As fellow losers, what enemies... It's a pity he can't understand."

Pei Chu Yun looked at him sideways. Is it really that other people can't understand? I think you're the one who can't understand...

Outsiders thought Ye Wufeng didn't leave any last words, but there were actually a few sentences.

Just as Land Xingzhou's palm bombarded his chest, Ye Wufeng, whose head was dizzy and eyes blurred from being smacked by A Nuo, still reluctantly said one sentence: "Land Xingzhou... you killed me, you are cutting off the last bit of affection from Yan Luo Hall... I lost, but you didn't win either."

Land Xingzhou's response was: "Actually, how she views me is unrelated to any other matters. Your slander, your struggle, your death... she doesn't care."

This sentence seemed to startle Ye Wufeng a bit. There was finally a hint of relief in his eyes: "Yes... why bother. It was I who was wrong, no wonder you left and made such rapid progress."

Pei Chu Yun secretly thought in her heart, for that kind of indifferent woman who doesn't care about anything related to her pursuers, not even life and death, it's impossible for her to let others touch her, but she let you touch her! The competitors treat you as the most special one, what's wrong? You are indeed the most special one, why do you feel you are also a loser?

But then again, who is this woman? Does she still have such a charming demon in Yan Luo Hall who attracts excellent young men to flock and pursue her?

Pei Chu Yun didn't dare to think that this charming demon was actually Yan Jun. The little demoness of Hehuan Sect was a bit unconvinced: "Hey, who is this woman? You were only a few years old when you were in Yan Luo Hall, and she just touched you here and there. So shameless! My Hehuan Sect doesn't even make moves on underage males!"

A Nuo, who was pushing the wheelchair, widened her eyes.

Okay A Ruo sister, in all these years you're the first one who dared to scold Fish sister as shameless.

Speaking of which, you're also the first one who never praised A Nuo as cute and still tried to beat her up every day.

Land Xingzhou only replied: "Past people, why bother getting entangled... Now I have you by my side."

Pei Chu Yun immediately discarded that little bit of stubbornness and smiled: "Although it's just a scumbag's sweet talk, I love to hear it. Say a few more sentences?"

Land Xingzhou also smiled: "We're on the street. Let's go back to the room and talk slowly, talk all night."

"Talk all night about what?" Sheng Yuan Yao's figure appeared in front of them. Her gaze was not good, as if looking at a fox, sizing up Pei Chu Yun from top to bottom: "As a maid, you don't assist your master's family in learning good things. All day long, you just know how to hook and tangle. What sort of decorum is that!"

She came happily to thank Land Xingzhou, but the result was that this guy was actually being lovey-dovey with a maid who had an air of pretentiousness. Her good mood suddenly disappeared.

Pei Chu Yun was about to cry tearfully: "Sister, A Ruo knows she has no family background and no culture, and can't compare to Sister's excellence. A Ruo just wants to accompany Young Master more... If I offended Sister, A Ruo apologizes. Don't drive me away, boohoo..."

Sheng Yuan Yao's head swelled to three times its size. When she was injured, her face was probably not as contorted as it is now.

"Cough." Land Xingzhou quickly smoothed things over: "You're still injured. What are you running out for?"

"Didn't you say it's no problem for daily actions? Besides, the danger has already been eliminated by you now." Sheng Yuan Yao laughed: "Hey, you did so well this time. Do you want anything? I'll buy it for you as a thank-you gift."

"This is what friends should do... After all, I'm also partly responsible for your injury. Buying a gift is not necessary, it's too polite."

She didn't know if it was polite to receive the gift or to refuse it... Sheng Yuan Yao gritted her teeth: "If you don't want it, then forget it. It's laughable. I didn't really want to buy it for you anyway!"

After finishing, she stepped forward two steps, pulled A Nuo out from behind the wheelchair, rubbed her a few times, and then walked away with a swoosh.

She came excitedly, but the result was that this maid with an air of pretentiousness was being lovey-dovey with him, and he was still politely saying "should" and "responsibility." Suddenly, she didn't know what to say. Sheng Yuan Yao's good mood was completely defeated, and she returned home with a sullen face.

Upon reaching the door, she just happened to bump into her father who had just returned. Sheng Qingfeng grabbed his daughter and looked at her from top to bottom: "You're injured, why are you running around randomly? This face is smelly. Did Land Xingzhou bully you?"

Sheng Yuan Yao said with a straight face: "Does he think he can bully me?"

"He can even kill Ye Wufeng. You're only fit to be Ye Wufeng's practice sword. How can he not bully you?"

"I..."

"Alright, alright." Sheng Qingfeng waved his hand to stop his daughter's rampage: "I understand your impulse to go and thank him... But why would you, a young girl, run to a man's room in the middle of the night? It's good if he can politely deal with you for a couple of sentences, otherwise, do you still want your reputation?"

Sheng Yuan Yao was stunned for a moment, and her mood suddenly improved again: "So that's how it is..."

Sheng Qingfeng looked at his daughter sideways: "Otherwise how? If you really want to thank him, set up a banquet at home tomorrow, openly and brightly, to thank him."

Sheng Yuan Yao skipped into the door: "You arrange it. I don't really want to thank him either."

Sheng Qingfeng looked at his daughter's ponytail bouncing up and down. His good mood from the case being solved had also collapsed almost completely. He secretly thought that the old man didn't really want to thank him either.
