Arc 5: Spring is Coming – 9

Preparation of Changing One’s Fortunes…

  Xin Tu used to be an ordinary person. If that accident hadn’t occurred, she would probably comply with her parents’ expectations to find a husband and get along with his family. She wouldn’t have to mingle with blood and death for the rest of her life.

  However, due to the conspiracy of the current emperor and Ke Li’s actions, she began to bleed from the knife’s edge. She still remembered that day after her Master saved her. She was then taught to be cruel and ruthless to others and herself.

  So, she was forced to kill a traitor who cried and begged her for mercy. At that time, she was only 12 years old. Her tiny body was soaked in blood. When she killed, her legs were soft, and she had nightmares that night.

  But in the past eight years, her hands have been covered with the blood of countless people. Killing one more person was just a trivial matter for her now. The reason she didn’t kill Ke Li before was because of her Master.

  Xin Tu increased her strength and at the same time, she could feel Ke Li’s life passing away in her hands. She didn’t hear a single word begging for mercy, even her eyes were stubborn…

  She began to wonder if this really was the National Teacher who puts personal profit before everything else?

  ”Junior martial sister is good.” A voice suddenly sounded, accompanied by claps of applause.

  Guan Lixian, who hasn’t appeared for a long time, appeared unknowingly. Her slanted eyes were like the peach blossoms blooming in spring. She was very attractive but the whole person was much thinner.

  Xin Tu didn’t care that Guan Lixian appeared. She still held Ke Li’s neck, but didn’t continue to exert anymore force, instead she just shouted: “Leave!”

  Ke Li suddenly seemed to inhale fresh air and broke away from Xin Tu’s shackles. She covered her neck and violently coughed on the bed. The feeling of suffocation that just occurred still lingered in her heart. She felt that her lung would be coughed out of her throat at any time.

  She was scared. This was the first time she came so close to death.

  She wasn’t the real culprit, she wasn’t Ke Chen. So, why should she die on her behalf? And to choose to die in order to avoid someone who has nothing to do with her sounded so stupid and ridiculous.

  Even if she regarded this as a virtual world, she doesn’t want to die. Of course, if she continues to be humiliated by Xin Tu, she felt that she would rather die.

  Sometimes she discovered that her backbone was quite sturdy. This was probably because she knew this was just a mission world.

  Guan Lixian didn’t ignore the change in Ke Li’s eyes. She raised her lips and was silent. She turned to the side and ignored Xin Tu’s expression that was freezing cold. She said with a smile, “Sect Leader, junior martial sister, not only did you keep a mistress, but she happens to be our deceased Master’s daughter. Today, senior martial sister’s life is hanging on the line. As Master’s first disciple, how can I ignore this?”

  The senior martial sister she mentioned was undoubtedly Ke Li as she is older than them. Guan Lixian affectionately called her former love rival “senior martial sister” even though she was eager to kill her. She said those words so naturally there wasn’t a feeling of violation at all.
