Chapter 971: The Alliance Master’s Teachings (16)

Ming Shu injured the man in the curtained hat earlier today, but he could still fight with the Demonic Sect’s leader…

He healed a little too fast.

Is this a different person?

Ming Shu observed for a while. She realized the sect leader didn’t use his full strength.

He even purposely let himself got hit by the man in curtained hat.

“Pu—”

Fresh blood spurted out of his mouth. That exaggerated posture and expression…It is so fake.

The man in the curtained hat wanted to continue his attacks. However, he paused and suddenly jumped onto the tree along the side of the river. Then, he disappeared into the night sky.

“Leader!”

“Leader, are you okay!”

“Leader, what happened to you?”

The disciples of the Demonic Sect ran up the bridge and gathered around their sect leader.

Their sect leader waved his hands. “I am fine. You all can leave first.”“Sect Leader…” The disciples shouted with so much emotion it seemed as though their sect leader was going to die soon.“I won’t die.” The sect leader was speechless. “You all can leave first.”

The disciples of the Demonic Sect exchanged glances with each other and left.

The bridge became quiet again. Ming Shu smiled as she looked at the sect leader. “Internal dispute?”

“No.” The sect leader wiped the blood off his mouth corners with his sleeve. “Personal grudge. However, he does want to take over my position.”

“Then why didn’t you kill him?” Why did you let yourself get hit?

“That is a strategy.” The sect leader sneered.

Ming Shu raised her eyebrows. “A despicable strategy?”

Pretending to be injured so that you could fool your opponent? This was exactly what the man in the curtained hat did to Lord Zhuo.

As expected of people who came from the same sect.“Yes. The kind of methods that righteous clans like you all won’t use.” The sect leader was sarcastic.

“Hey, why are you leaving? Wait for me. I am talking to you. Are you angry because I said the truth?” The sect leader chased after Ming Shu.

The sect leader left with Ming Shu.

Not long after they left, a figure ran up the bridge.

Jiang Ling looked around her. Strange… why is there no one here?

The ground was wet. She looked at the ground for a moment. Was she too late?

She calculated her time properly. Why was she late…

Did the Demonic Sect’s leader get saved by the female protagonist?

Jiang Ling frowned as she scanned her surroundings. There was no sign of the sect leader.

…When Ming Shu came back with the people from the Demonic Sect as well as the sect leader, Steamed Bun got a shock.

If anyone from the Flying Tiger Clan saw this, they would think that they colluded with the Demonic Sect.

The pugilist world would no longer be after the Demonic Sect. They would be after the Alliance Master Mansion.

“Alliance Master… I will go back to my room first,” Rong Li whispered to Ming Shu.

The sect leader poured himself a cup of tea. When Rong Li was leaving, he glanced at him.

“You recognize him?” After Rong Li left, Ming Shu went to sit opposite the sect leader.

“He looks familiar,” the sect leader said. “I might be thinking too much. However, it is better to be safe than sorry. If you don’t know the person’s background, don’t keep him beside you.”

“Shouldn’t the Demonic Sect be happy if something happens to me?”“We are in a collaboration now.” The sect leader had a good sense of teamwork.

“So, did you beat Jiang Ling up?” She saw Jiang Ling all lively and fine. Nothing seemed to have happened to her.

“…” The sect leader coughed. “I was busy. I will ask people to do it immediately.”

As the Demonic Sect’s leader, he would be chased everyday. He had a lot of things to do too.

Ming Shu asked, “Who is the man that attacked you?”

The sect leader paused for a few seconds. He put down his teacup and replied, “My senior brother.”

“Dispute among your Sect?”

“I didn’t expect it to be Senior Brother…”

The sect leader shook his head. “I didn’t want to be the sect leader, but my master gave this position to me. I had to accept it.”

The sect leader told Ming Shu of a plot that would happen in every single story.

The sect leader and his senior brother entered the sect together. His senior brother was a hardworking person but lacked talent.

On the other hand, he was smart, but lazy and naughty. No matter how hard his senior brother worked, he was unable to catch up with the sect leader.

Because of this difference, his senior brother started to feel jealous of him.

His senior brother was supposed to inherit the position of the sect leader. However, he got it in the end.

He didn’t want to be the sect leader, but he had no choice.

His senior brother went to the dark side.

The sect leader felt depressed too.

He was chased by his senior brother everyday and he had to take care of that bunch of irritating disciples.

He was a handsome and charismatic young man once. Look at what he had become.

Ming Shu: “…” As expected of a fun and casual story.

Even the Demonic Sect’s leader is so weird.

“Alliance Master, Alliance Master… something happened.”

Steamed Bun ran in agitatedly.

“Didn’t I tell you to shout only when someone died?”

Nothing was a problem besides life and death.

Steamed Bun swallowed. “Someone… died.”

Ming Shu and the sect leader looked at him simultaneously.

Steamed Bun said hurriedly, “The divine sword is gone. The people watching over the divine sword are all dead.”

“Oh.” What does it have to do with me? I don’t want the sword anyway.

Steamed Bun: ???

Alliance Master, is this all the reaction you can muster?

Ming Shu noticed Steamed Bun’s questioning eyes. She tried her best and forced out some words. “So sad.”

Her reaction was as exaggerated as the sect leader’s.

Steamed Bun turned his head and looked outside. Luckily, there were no outsiders.

“What are we eating for supper?”

Steamed Bun flared up in his heart.

Eat what!

Go to the Thousand Jade Mountain now!

…

Ming Shu climbed up the Thousand Jade Mountain in the middle of the night.

The Thousand Jade Mountain was lit brightly. The smell of blood filled the air.

Everyone wore sorrowful looks on their faces.

Only Ming Shu ate her snacks with a calm expression as she watched the sects and clans lay out the deceased in a row.

“It is the Demonic Sect again.”

“Unforgivable!”

“Those bastards from the Demonic Sect are inhumane! Don’t let me catch them…”

“They even took the divine sword!” This was the main point.

The divine sword was stolen and their friends were killed.

This was why they were furious and wanted to destroy the Demonic Sect.

The Demonic Sect’s leader, who was dressed up as someone from the Alliance Master Mansion: “…”

Ming Shu looked at the sect leader too.

The sect leader twitched his mouth corners. He whispered, “I don’t have the time to come here. Don’t be stupid and push the blame on me.”

The sect leader felt that this little girl was different from those other people from the righteous clans. He didn’t know why he felt this way.

She would not be so stupid and push the blame on the Demonic Sect whenever something bad happened.

Ming Shu lowered her head and continued eating her sweet dumplings.

The sect leader: “…”

The sect leader poked Ming Shu with a tree branch. “Bring me over so that I can take a look.” He wanted to see who dared to frame him.

“Go yourself.”

“If I go myself, I will not be able to make it back.” The sect leader got angry.

If he appeared, these people would skin him alive and maybe deep fry him too.

Ming Shu remained unmoved.

“I will treat you to a meal!” The sect leader made his ultimate move.

Ming Shu walked over. She moved so quickly the sect leader didn’t react in time. He only regained his senses after Ming Shu had walked some distance. He ran to catch up with her.

“Alliance Master…”

“Alliance Master.”

People started greeting her.

The sect leader tried his best to diminish his presence.

Once they reached the place where the corpses were laid out, Ming Shu stopped eating. However, she didn’t do anything else, either.

The scene was strange.

The sect leader: “…”

The sect leader bowed to Ming Shu and then bent down to inspect the bodies.

Everyone thought that Ming Shu ordered him to do it so no one stopped him.
