Lu Qingyao's heart was also trembling.
Before today, she was no stranger to Luo Yun. She knew that the latter was the youngest Sword Master in the history of Wanjian Pavilion. His talent was unparalleled and his methods were domineering. He was a super genius that was hard to come by in a thousand years.
But at this moment, Lu Qingyao suddenly felt that the word 'genius' was far from being worthy of Chu Xingyun.
Regardless of his talent, just his temperament and shrewdness were enough to surpass the eighteen Sword Masters of Wanjian Pavilion!
"So Sword Master Luo Yun has been protecting me for the past three days. This move really touched me. However, it's fortunate that this woman walked into the trap in time. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable." Qin Xiu let out a long sigh of relief. He felt that it was a false alarm.
Tomorrow, Chu Xingyun would enter the Law Enforcement Hall again.
If Lu Qingyao didn't make a move tonight, he would definitely be severely punished. At that time, Qin Xiu would definitely die if he was assassinated by Lu Qingyao.
Although he couldn't frame Chu Xingyun, compared to his own safety, Qin Xiu was more willing to accept the current result. At the very least, he was still alive.
"Before I enter the Law Enforcement Hall again, she will definitely appear." However, after Chu Xingyun heard Qin Xiu's words, he replied confidently, causing Qin Xiu to be surprised again.
Chu Xingyun turned his head and said tirelessly, "Although I didn't see through the identity of the Shadow Swordsman, I already know that the purpose of her existence is to protect Lu Qingxuan and prevent her from being harmed or molested."
"But as Lu Qingxuan's strength becomes stronger and stronger, the number of greedy people she comes into contact with also increased. And those people's strength also becomes more and more tyrannical. Lu Qingyao, who hasn't stepped into the Heavenly Spirit Realm, will feel more and more strained even if she has mastered a strange assassination technique. Assassinating Qin Xianjun is a living example."
"Three days ago, I protected Lu Qingxuan at the banquet and gave her some pointers, allowing her to have an epiphany. More importantly, I didn't show any greed towards Lu Qingxuan. I believe that Lu Qingyao saw this. In her opinion, I can even be Lu Qingxuan's protective umbrella and help her block some escorts."
"Now, because of her, I was mistaken as the Shadow Swordsman and am facing a huge crisis. Naturally, she doesn't want to see this scene. So before I enter the Law Enforcement Hall, she will definitely make a move to create an alibi for me and completely clear my name.
"Am I right or am I not?"
As his voice fell, the shock on Lu Qingyao's face became more and more intense. However, when she heard the last sentence, a smile appeared on her pretty face, and her entire body exuded a seductive charm.
However, this smile was one of helplessness.
She raised her head and looked at Chu Xingyun. Nodding, she said, "You're right. I will definitely make a move in these three days. My goal is also to clear your name. If necessary, I will even leave some evidence so that you won't be suspected."
As she spoke, her scarlet eyes slowly revealed a look of reminiscence.
"Three years ago, Chang Chixiao discovered Sister's talent by chance and wanted to bring her to the Wanjian Pavilion. Sister was afraid that I would be alone and wanted to bring me along no matter what. At that time, Chang Chixiao readily agreed, but I could see that he was extremely unwilling."
"After entering the Wanjian Pavilion, Sister showed her tyrannical talent and thus gained the favor of the Pavilion Master. Chang Chixiao was worried and set up a conspiracy to expel me from the Wanjian Pavilion. In order to protect me, Sister secretly reached an agreement with Chang Chixiao and used him as a disciple as a bargaining chip so that I could stay in the Wanjian Pavilion."
"From then on, I secretly swore in my heart that I would never let Sister suffer the slightest grievance. So, I turned into the Shadow Swordsman and killed those who molested Sister. And you are the first person I have seen in the past three years who is not greedy for Sister and is willing to protect her. Moreover, your identity as the Sword Master can deter many thieves. At least this kind of trash will not dare to do anything to you."
Being ridiculed by Lu Qingyao, how could Qin Xiu not be angry? He immediately shouted angrily, "How dare you!"
However, he only shouted angrily.
He, who had not recovered from his injuries, was no match for Lu Qingyao. He could only vent the raging anger in his heart with words.
"What you did was well-intentioned, but it was meaningless." Chu Xingyun stared at Lu Qingyao and said indifferently.
"The 10,000 Swords Pavilion has existed for thousands of years, and its foundation is strong. Just you alone, how many people can you kill? In these three years, you seemed to be safe, and no one discovered you. But in reality, it was only because the people you killed were all ordinary disciples, and it didn't affect the 10,000 Swords Pavilion."
This sentence was like a clap of thunder, making Lu Qingyao suffocate.
Chu Xingyun did not stop and continued, "In the past few days, two inherited disciples have been killed, which has affected the normal operation of Wanjian Pavilion. If the Pavilion Master personally takes action, you can't hide at all. At that time, not only will you die, but also Lu Qingxuan will not be able to live."
"Moreover, even if you leave evidence, what can you do?"
"If you want to condemn someone, you can always find a pretext. With the insidious means of the Internal Affairs Branch, they will definitely incite a lot of people to punish me severely. To put it bluntly, if you kill Qin Xiu, it will arouse the hatred of the Internal Affairs Branch. It will only be more disadvantageous to me."
The shock on Lu Qingyao's face gradually faded. She lowered her head and did not speak.
She was not a stupid person. When she heard this, she quickly understood what Chu Xingyun meant.
"Sword Master Luo Yun, you may have a misunderstanding about the Internal Affairs Branch. We are not targeting you. We just want to maintain the stability of Wanjian Pavilion. But you can rest assured that from today onwards, you are my benefactor and also the benefactor of the Internal Affairs Branch."
Qin Xiu's life was saved by Chu Xingyun. Of course, he would not be stupid enough to fall out with him.
In fact, deep in his heart, his desire to kill Chu Xingyun was getting stronger and stronger.
As long as he left here, he would immediately inform the Internal Affairs Branch to set up a trap to kill Chu Xingyun in the shortest time possible. He wanted to strangle him in the cradle.
Lu Qingyao glanced at Qin Xiu with a sneer. She did not believe Qin Xiu's promise.
The smile on Qin Xiu's face froze, and he said coldly, "Audacious fanatic! You're clearly at death's door, yet you actually dare to mock me? Tomorrow, I'll surely make you suffer a fate worse than death!"
"With your current half-crippled body?" Lu Qingyao was not afraid. Instead, she laughed.
She raised her head. Her face was full of ridicule. Especially her eyes, which were even redder like blood. They flickered in the void, incomparably evil and moving.
Qin Xiu gritted his teeth. Finally, he could not hold back the anger in his heart. He took a step forward but was stopped by Chu Xingyun.
Chu Xingyun looked away and glanced at him expressionlessly.
