Chapter 1033 - A Misunderstanding

“My lord, that young master of the Zhang family is extremely lecherous and the people of the Zhang family are overprotective. In my opinion, it’s better for us to avoid him.” Feng Zijin subconsciously glanced at Ling Chuxi, Lan Xinyu, and Su Xiu’er. No matter where they were.. these were all beauties that invited disaster. If the young master of the Zhang family saw them, it would have definitely become an issue.

“Do you think that we are that weak that we wouldn’t even be able to match up to them?” Ling Chuxi had brought Lan Xinyu and the others here to gain experience. Unless the other party was too strong to be provoked, she would not deliberately avoid them. Overprotective? Heh, well, it turned out that, she, Ling Chuxi, was even more overprotective. If they ended up meeting, so be it. Who would actually be the one afraid of the other? They came with the intention to find people to spar with. Give up that chance? What a joke!

“That’s not it. Even if the Zhang family is strong, how can they compare to you, my Lady?!” Feng Zijin quickly tried to save himself when Gongxi Kuangdao glared at him. “It’s just that, I heard that the Zhang family’s ancestors came from a very powerful sect. Although they’ve been in Qianzhong Ridge for so many years, they still maintain contact with some sect disciples, so even the inner forces aren’t willing to offend them so easily,” said Feng Zijin.

“A very powerful sect? Which one is it?” asked Ling Chuxi, still curious.

She had already heard from Su Yizhi and Duan Feiyu about the origins of Qianzhong Ridge. Many of them had been expelled from their sects after committing crimes, so it wasn’t strange for the Zhang family to have such a background, however, if they still maintained contact with some sect disciples, they had to be more cautious.

“I’m not too sure about that. This matter involves that particular sect, so of course, it’s a secret of the Zhang family. At most, they’ll probably just reveal a little bit of information to scare people off.” Feng Zijin replied.

“I-I-I know. I-I heard someone… heard someone… a few days ago…” Deng Zaibei began to stutter.

When Lan Xinyu and the others heard that the Zhang family was related to a powerful sect, they naturally became curious. However, when Deng Zaibei spoke, their curiosity was immediately swept away. They’d rather not know anything than listen to Ah Bei stutter his way through. Listening to him talk was torture. Jiang Wuhen rolled his eyes. In fact, this was more than torture! Help!

“Stop!” Ling Chuxi interrupted Deng Zaibei. She suddenly pulled out a golden needle and stabbed Deng Zaibei’s neck with lightning speed. She couldn’t stand it anymore.

Feng Zijin and Deng Zaibei had never seen Ling Chuxi attack. So when they did, they instinctively reacted to stop her. However, by the time they managed to do so, Ling Chuxi had already withdrawn her hand and only a golden needle was left sticking into Deng Zaibei’s neck. Both of them were so scared that their faces turned pale. Only then did they realize how terrifying Ling Chuxi’s strength was. Could it be that Deng Zaibei’s words just now had angered her so much that she killed him in one move?

Feng Zijin was stunned. He stared at the golden needle on Deng Zaibei’s neck as if he was expecting to see a blood arrow fly out in the next moment. Deng Zaibei’s heart was racing and his limbs felt ice-cold. He had already resolved himself to wait for death at this point/

But after waiting for a long time, Deng Zaibei was still standing where he was. Nothing happened.

“Continue,” Ling Chuxi urged impatiently.

“Ah!” Feng Zijin and Deng Zaibei finally woke up from their dream. So Ling Chuxi didn’t want to kill him. It was just a misunderstanding.
