Half an hour later, Suru appeared again with a stack of scrolls in her hand.
Xiao Qi shook her head. "You don't have to show it to me. Just tell me where they went."
Suru said, "They went into the Walnut Forest ten miles away from the town and never showed up again. They're probably dead."
Xiao Qi frowned and did not say anything.
Suru quickly said, "My Lady, if you want to go, bring High Official Li and the others with you. Otherwise, you can ask everyone in the Public House to come. It seems like only four masters from the Church of the Divine Blood came."
Suru thought that it was better to kill them all in one go.
Xiao Qi shook her head. "Only four, they have their own strength."
The masters from the Church of the Divine Blood were much stronger than the Public House. If the entire Public House were to come, it was more likely that they would be killed.
Suru frowned. "Why don't we wait for Chief to come back?"
"I'm just checking out the situation." Xiao Qi said, "I won't alarm them."
Suru shook her head.
How could they not be alerted just because they wanted to? If those four experts were strong enough, they would definitely be alerted.
Xiao Qi waved her hand. Without waiting for Suru to say anything, she jumped out of the window and flew away. Suru could not react in time and could only watch as Xiao Qi left. She stomped her feet and gave up on chasing.
She would only be a burden if she went. She could only hope that things would go smoothly.
Siao Qi fluttered out of the Public House and entered the walnut forest.
This was an endless forest, surrounded by mountains on both sides. There were pine trees, locust trees, jujube trees, peach trees, and all kinds of different kinds. In the warm spring season, the flowers bloomed, and it was a riot of colors.
She came to the Walnut Forest and hid her body. She hid her breath and did not reveal any energy. Even her eyes became dazed and empty.
This was a special skill to hide one's breath and energy. It was the best for hiding.
She dared to come here alone because of this special skill. If the three of them were dead, she did not have to appear. She could wait for Chu Li to come back and take revenge.
In an open space in the Walnut Forest, two men and a woman stood in the same place. The young woman looked ordinary but there was a hint of charm in her eyes.
The two men, one middle-aged and the other young, were pale and had blood at the corner of their mouths. They stared fiercely at the four middle-aged men in purple robes, especially the middle-aged man in front.
The middle-aged man's face was yellow and withered as if he had not recovered from a serious illness. He was as thin as a bamboo pole. He reached out his hand to touch the young girl's face. He shook his head and laughed. "I thought that all the maids in the Yi Public House were beautiful, but they are nothing more than this."
The girl pursed her lips and glared at him angrily.
"Stop!" the young man shouted.
The four purple-robed middle-aged men shook their heads and laughed.
The yellow-faced man in the purple robe chuckled. "Don't worry, I don't like her looks. Tell me, where's Chu Li from your Public House?"
"Chief Chu is in seclusion." The young man snorted.
His eyes were burning with anger as he sneered, "If the general manager comes out of seclusion, you won't be able to act so arrogantly!"
"Little Liu!" The other middle-aged man, Zheng Jiali, said in a deep voice.
Liu Kuang said coldly, "Weren't they utterly defeated by the Chief last time?"
"Pa!" Liu Kuang was slapped.
The yellow-faced, purple-robed middle-aged man retracted his hand and said coldly, "If you talk nonsense again, I'll take your dog life!"
"Come!" Liu Kuang furiously shouted: "Kill me if you have the guts!"
"Do you think I don't dare to kill you?" The yellow-faced, purple-robed man said coldly.
"You don't dare!" Liu Kuang looked at him with disdain. "You're afraid that the chief will come out of seclusion to seek revenge. If you kill one of me, the chief will kill ten of you!"
"You sure talk big!" The other three purple-robed middle-aged men scoffed.
"Little Liu, shut up!" Zheng Jiali shouted.
Liu Kuang reluctantly shut his mouth.
The yellow-faced, purple-robed middle-aged man laughed and the other three laughed as well.
Zheng Jiali calmly said, "If the four of you want to kill me, do as you please. I only have one request, let my daughter go. She's just a maid, she's not from the martial arts world."
"Alright, let her go. The two of you can kill yourselves." The yellow-faced, purple-robed middle-aged man laughed.
Zheng Jiali frowned. "Is there no other way?"
"No." The yellow-faced, purple-robed middle-aged man coughed softly. "Why don't I kill her and the two of you live? Or leave her and the two of you die. You can only choose one path."
"Aren't you afraid that our chief will seek revenge?" Liu Kuang gritted his teeth.
He tried his best not to look at Zheng Xueli. Just looking at her made his heart ache.
He had never hated himself as much as he did now. He hated himself for not working hard enough. If he knew that something like this would happen to him, he would have trained ten times harder!
He hated himself for being useless. He couldn't even protect his own woman. What kind of genius was he?
He was already a Grandmaster at such a young age. He was one of the top geniuses in the Public House.
"Revenge? Haha … "The yellow-faced, purple-robed middle-aged man shook his head and laughed." Your brain isn't working well. Why did we capture you? It's to force Chu Li to show himself. He's not the one seeking revenge on us. We're the one seeking revenge on him. We'll kill you first and then the rest. I don't believe that he won't come out of seclusion! "
"Despicable!" Liu Kuang shouted. "What eight major sects? Bullsh * t!"
"Slap!" Liu Kuang was slapped again.
"Pfft!" He spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with two teeth. He glared at the yellow-faced, purple-robed middle-aged man and gritted his teeth.
"Now you're being honest?" The yellow-faced, purple-robed middle-aged man smiled. "You're such a wretch. I have to beat you up. Stop talking nonsense. There's no point in dragging this out. Choose, do you want to die or do you want her dead?"
"Even if we die, you won't let her go." Zheng Jiali shook his head and sighed. "So, there's no need to gather? "Haha, you're smart!"
"Haha, smart man!" The yellow-faced, purple-robed middle-aged man laughed and said, "Alright, then you two can go together!"
As soon as he said that, he slapped Liu Kuang.
Xiao Qi sighed to herself. Under such circumstances, the most rational choice was to turn a blind eye to them and remember their faces so that Chu Li could seek revenge on them when he returned.
However, she could not just watch them get killed.
"Swoosh!" Xiao Qi shot behind the yellow-faced, purple-robed middle-aged man. A cold light flashed. Her long sword had already pierced through his back and came out from his heart.
"Ugh …" The yellow-faced, purple-robed middle-aged man's eyes widened.
"Damn it!" The other three rushed towards Xiao Qi.
"Ding ding ding ding …" Xiao Qi's sword flashed as she swung her sword at the three men. However, her sword was blocked by their palm energy. The sound of metal clashing could be heard.
Xiao Qi's Regal Sword Scripture was so powerful that she managed to suppress the three men.
The yellow-faced, purple-robed middle-aged man clutched his chest with his eyes wide open. He consumed a spirit pill and refused to recuperate. He wanted to see how Xiao Qi would die.
The other three purple-robed middle-aged men looked gloomy as they attacked with their palms.
Xiao Qi suddenly stepped out of the battle and flicked her finger.
"Ding …" A clear sound was heard. It sounded like a crane's cry or a dragon's roar. Everyone who heard it felt refreshed.
Two of the purple-robed middle-aged men took a step back. The last purple-robed middle-aged man appeared.
The old man's purple robe fluttered in the wind as he smiled. "I've finally caught a big fish. Are you Xiao Qi?"
Xiao Qi scoffed. "That's right."
