"What are you doing here again?" Lu Xuan looked at Liu Yun and asked with a frown.
A trace of mockery flashed in Liu Yun's eyes. "Lu Xuan, don't put on airs. Now that the assessment is over, you're no longer the chief examiner. These people have already become disciples of the Peony Palace. You're an outsider. Don't tell me you want to criticize them?"
Lu Xuan pursed his lips and didn't say anything. Indeed, the assessment was over. There was no need for him to make things difficult for Liu Yun. Anyway, he had already guaranteed the fairness of the selection.
Seeing that Lu Xuan didn't say anything, Liu Yun thought that Lu Xuan was showing weakness. She smiled even more contemptuously. "You're using a chicken feather as a token of authority. Weren't you very powerful before? Why don't you continue to show me how powerful you are? "
Lu Xuan looked at Liu Yun seriously and said, "Are you provoking me?"
"I …" Liu Yun's words were stuck in her throat, but she couldn't say them. She wanted to say yes, but she didn't dare. She had already been thrown to the ground by Lu Xuan twice. Now that there were so many people watching, she didn't want to do it a third time.
"I can't be bothered to argue with you. I'm here to do serious business." Liu Yun snorted and avoided Lu Xuan's gaze. She walked toward the place where the Peony Palace's new inner disciples were gathered.
Seeing Liu Yun coming over, Qin Yueyi, who was in the crowd, couldn't help but grip her clothes tightly. She bit her lower lip. She knew that she couldn't escape this time. Perhaps it was inertia, but she looked at Lu Xuan again. She subconsciously regarded Lu Xuan as her only savior.
Lu Xuan also saw Qin Yueyi at this moment. When he met her gaze, Lu Xuan's heart trembled. What kind of gaze was that? Unwillingness? Helplessness? Anger? Begging? Countless emotions were integrated into Qin Yueyi's gaze at this moment.
At this moment, Lu Xuan decided that he would help her!
"Qin Yueyi, come out. The assessment is over. Your Lord Examiner can't help you now. You are now a member of the Peony Palace. As an elder of the Peony Palace, I order you to come out and surrender!" Liu Yun said arrogantly.
"What exactly did she do?" Lu Xuan's deep voice suddenly rang out.
Hearing this voice, Liu Yun finally exploded. He angrily looked at Lu Xuan and said, "Lu Xuan, do you really want to go against me? Why do you have to stick your nose into everything? This is a matter of our Hundred Flowers City. Aren't you being too nosy? "
"I just want to ask, what did she do?" Lu Xuan repeated.
Liu Yun took a deep breath and calmed himself down a little. Then, he said, "A life for a life."
Lu Xuan nodded and asked, "Why did she kill them?"
"This is not something you should care about. A life for a life is a matter of course!" Liu Yun lightly snorted.
Lu Xuan chuckled, "I have also killed people. I have killed many people. Why doesn't anyone want to pay with their lives?"
Liu Yun didn't want to pay any more attention to Lu Xuan. She turned to the people who came with her and said, "Don't worry about him. Capture him!"
"I am here. Who dares!" Lu Xuan stepped forward and shouted.
Liu Yun gritted his teeth and said, "Capture him as well!"
Hearing Liu Yun's words, the cultivators who came with her immediately attacked Lu Xuan without hesitation. Perhaps they were used to capturing people. They stretched out their large hands and directly grabbed Lu Xuan's shoulders.
Lu Xuan smiled coldly, "Naive!"
She immediately reached out and slapped them a few times. The people that Liu Yun brought with him were merely ordinary cultivators at the Spirit Ascension Realm, and they had come with her to capture someone. How could they withstand a casual slap from Lu Xuan? Like flies, they were slapped to the ground by Lu Xuan and rolled a few times.
"Lu Xuan, don't act recklessly! This is a matter of our Hundred Flowers City. They are the law enforcers of Hundred Flowers City! You have committed a great crime! "Liu Yun shouted again.
Lu Xuan placed his hands behind his back and said, "If you want me to not interfere, I can. But let me know the whole story."
He then turned to Qin Yueyi and beckoned, "Miss Qin, come here. Tell me. With me here, I will see who dares to touch you."
Qin Yueyi hesitated for a moment before finally walking over. At this moment, she had already regarded Lu Xuan as the only person she could trust in this world.
Liu Yun only looked on coldly at everything Lu Xuan did.
Qin Yueyi suddenly dropped to her knees as she walked up to Lu Xuan. She sobbed and said, "Senior, please uphold justice for me!"
Lu Xuan hurriedly pulled her up and said, "What are you doing? Get up first and tell me what happened. If you are really wronged, I will definitely uphold justice for you. "
Once Qin Yueyi's tears flowed out, it seemed as if they wouldn't stop. All the grievances and sorrow she had suffered in this short period of time were all released at this moment. As she sobbed, she said, "This little girl's home is in Nanluo Town. Although my family's circumstances are ordinary, it's a happy, harmonious, peaceful, and carefree life. But one day, two months ago, a close friend of mine invited me to go to the wild with her. However, when we arrived, we realized that we weren't the only ones there. There were a few other men. "
At this point, Qin Yueyi gradually stopped sobbing, but the hatred in her eyes became even more intense, "Among those men, I know two of them. One is Luo Li, the young master of Nanluo Town's Luo Family, and the other is the famous hedonistic young master of Hundred Flowers City, He Jin. Both of them had bad reputations. I wanted to go back, but my friend stopped me and asked me to accompany her. After I reluctantly accompanied her for a while, Loree and He Jin began to flirt with me. Not only did my friend not help me, she even spoke up for them and asked me to be He Jin's concubine.
"Of course I wasn't willing. Just when I was about to leave, Loree suddenly stopped me and said that I had to do it whether I was willing or not. I would rather die than comply. Later on, they actually, actually intended to directly rape me!"
Lu Xuan was infuriated when he heard that. He had long known that He Jin was up to no good. It was only because he did not witness He Jin's crimes with his own eyes that he let He Jin go. Now, it seemed that He Jin deserved to die.
Qin Yueyi choked and continued, "I was shocked and angry, so I took out my sword to scare them. I didn't think that Loree wouldn't be afraid at all and would casually approach me. Just as he was about to grab me, I made up my mind and stabbed him with my sword with my eyes closed. Who would have thought that Loree wouldn't block it at all? The sword stabbed him to death.
"When Loree died, the group of people immediately panicked. I was also afraid. While they were trying to save Loree, I quickly escaped. However, I didn't dare return home. I knew that the Luo Family was powerful and would definitely cause trouble for me. At night, I sneaked back home to take a look. Only then did I realize that my house had actually been cremated and turned into a pile of rubble!"
At this point, Qin Yueyi's eyes emitted a heart-palpitating hatred. "My grandfather, my parents, and my nine-year-old brother are all dead! All of them died at the hands of the Luo Family!
"I didn't expect such a calamity to befall me. Within a day, I was the only one left in my house." Qin Yueyi cried with incomparable sadness. "That's not all. In the next two months, I gradually found out that my aunt and uncle were also killed. All of my relatives died because of me. I'm the sinner of my family. I don't have any other thoughts now. I just want revenge. Then, I want to find my relatives and personally apologize to them …"
This was the first time she had personally told her story. Qin Yueyi had already stirred up the saddest thing in her heart. At this moment, she was crying her heart out.
Seeing Qin Yueyi wailing in front of him, Lu Xuan was silent. If he didn't have the Sword Crystal, would he end up like Qin Yueyi?
This thought flashed through his mind. Lu Xuan slowly turned around and looked at Liu Yun. "Is this what you mean by 'a life for a life'?"
"That's right." Liu Yun raised her head and said.
Seeing her unrepentant appearance, Lu Xuan narrowed his eyes and said, "Say, if I kill you now, will anyone capture me to pay with my life?"
"You dare!" Liu Yun was so frightened that she hurriedly retreated a few steps and shouted, "I'm an elder of the Peony Palace and a trusted aide of the Great Elder. If you dare to kill me, the Peony Palace definitely won't forgive you. You must pay with your life!"
"Is that so? Now that you say it, I want to give it a try. I've never been captured to pay with my life before. "Lu Xuan sneered.
At this moment, a deep voice rang out. "Friend, that's enough. This is our Hundred Flowers City's business. There's no need to trouble you."
Hearing this voice, Liu Yun felt as if he had found his savior. He shouted, "City Lord, quickly take down this impudent kid. Not only does he dare to obstruct the City Lord's business, but he also publicly wants to kill me."
At this moment, a figure quickly landed in front of Lu Xuan. Immediately after, another group of guards appeared behind him.
"Wow! It really is the City Lord! "
"I didn't expect this to alarm even the City Lord. I heard that the City Lord was personally sent by the Jiuhua Alliance. Even the Peony Palace Master has to treat him with respect!"
The cultivators who hadn't left had been paying attention to the scene. When they saw the middle-aged man, they all cried out in surprise.
Seeing the City Lord's arrival, Qin Yueyi's heart was filled with despair. She laughed at herself and said, "As expected of the protection of the family. I didn't expect the City Lord to help me. Forget it. Senior Lu, I appreciate your kindness. If I were to implicate you, I wouldn't be able to die in peace. Please leave, senior."
Lu Xuan turned a deaf ear to Qin Yueyi's words. He looked at the City Lord and said, "Dare I ask, City Lord, do you want to capture Miss Qin to pay with your life?"
The City Lord was silent. He didn't want to do this, but he had to. After all, the He Family and Luo Xianghan were powerful. Even if he was sent by the Jiuhua Alliance, he had to maintain a good relationship with these local bullies. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to stay as the City Lord. In other words, in the martial world, there was no free will.
"Let me give you a piece of advice. A powerful dragon cannot suppress a local bully. Some things have nothing to do with you. Just pretend you didn't see it," the City Lord said.
Lu Xuan nodded. "From your tone, it seems you're not too muddle-headed as a City Lord. But there's another saying. Only a fierce dragon can cross the river. I, Lu Xuan, can't control the heavens or the earth. But I want to take care of the injustices in this world! "
"Why bother?" The City Lord shook his head. "I know you're young, and you like to help the weak. I know the Luo Family is in the wrong, but there's no such thing as fairness in this world. The Luo Family is powerful, and Qin Yueyi is weak. That's why the Luo Family can bully Qin Yueyi."
Lu Xuan was so angry that he laughed. "What kind of logic is that? You're not muddle-headed, but you're doing something muddle-headed. Because you're afraid of the He Family and the Luo Family's strength, you're helping them bully the people you govern? Based on what you said, if the Luo Family can bully Lady Qin, then if Lady Qin is powerful, she can bully the Luo Family? "
The Hundred Flowers City Lord laughed lightly. "Your words are crude, but the logic is not. In the cultivation world, this is how it is. I'm sure you know."
Lu Xuan raised his eyebrows and said, "That's right. I know that because I was once a victim like you, Miss Qin. However, I had the help of a benefactor. Now that I'm powerful, I destroyed the family that bullied me back then. Today, I shall be Lady Qin's benefactor! "
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Xuan suddenly turned his head and looked straight at Qin Yueyi. "Qin Yueyi, my name is Lu Xuan. I am the personal disciple of Mystic Ice Pavilion's Elder Zhao Ying. In the middle state's domain, a fourth grade faction, the Nine Dragons Empire, bestowed the title of Imperial Tutor. I am the Duke of Peace and can mobilize ten thousand elite troops of the empire! I am now at the sixth level of the Origin Realm. I specialize in sword dao and can fight against a peak stage Origin Realm expert. Now, I wish to accept you as my personal disciple. Are you willing?! "
