“Great Master, spare my life.”
Realizing he couldn't escape, Sun Zhongshu immediately knelt on the ground, begging for mercy. He was decisive, without the slightest hesitation, so much so that even Li Beifei couldn't react to his speed.
Li Beifei was stunned, exchanging glances with Wei Min in his arms.
Sun Zhongshu was definitely not weak. Earlier, he had unleashed two sharp sword energies that forced back two demonic beasts six minor realms higher than him. Although the beasts were already injured, they were not something an ordinary Initial Saint Realm, third level, could handle.
Sun Zhongshu's ability to force them back showed that his strength should not be underestimated.
But now, seeing Sun Zhongshu begging for mercy so decisively, it was hard to imagine that he was the one who snatched the sacred medicine from the two demonic beasts earlier.
At least Wei Min was already doubting whether she had the wrong person.
However, Li Beifei quickly regained his senses. He looked at Sun Zhongshu and asked, "Why were you running?"
If you weren't chasing me, would I be running?
Sun Zhongshu cursed inwardly, but he said, "This humble one suddenly had urgent matters, so I was walking in a hurry."
Sun Zhongshu casually described "escape" as "walking in a hurry." An ordinary person might have been fooled, but Li Beifei was no ordinary person. Putting everything else aside, in terms of hypocrisy, he had been hammered and trained by Gu Changsheng. Although Sun Zhongshu's words seemed flawless on the surface, the biggest flaw was the lack of flaws.
Being caught by a stranger and not revealing any flaws meant either he wasn't afraid of Li Beifei or he was confident in escaping.
Li Beifei guessed correctly. Sun Zhongshu did have a way to escape; he was waiting for Li Beifei to lower his guard.
Li Beifei originally wanted to see what Sun Zhongshu was planning to do next, but Wei Min said directly, "Master, he's lying."
Wei Min could even feel the thoughts of the stubborn stones on the street. Identifying whether a person was lying was too easy. However, this was also because Sun Zhongshu didn't know Wei Min had special abilities. If he knew and was on guard, no matter how magical Wei Min's abilities were, she wouldn't be able to sense other people's thoughts.
Sun Zhongshu's expression changed slightly after hearing Wei Min's words. He didn't know how to respond.
Seeing this, Li Beifei knew that the act couldn't continue. He asked, "Do you know the Nine Swords Young Master?"
Speaking of the Nine Swords Young Master, Sun Zhongshu's eyes lit up. He said, "Who in the world doesn't know the Nine Swords Young Master now?"
"You admire him very much?" Li Beifei said with interest.
Sun Zhongshu didn't answer immediately. Instead, he looked at Li Beifei warily. 'This person isn't planning to challenge the Nine Swords Young Master, is he? If that's the case, and I say I admire the Nine Swords Young Master, what if he becomes angry and kills me to vent his anger? Wouldn't that be too unfair?'
'Not only can I not say I admire him, but I even have to belittle him in front of him. That way, my chances of survival will be much greater.'
'For the sake of survival, idol, please bear with it. Once I escape, I will definitely set up a longevity tablet for you and pray for you day and night!'
So, Sun Zhongshu said, "Admire him? How is that possible? He actually rejected Ice Cloud Fairy in front of the world. I can't wait to cut him down with my sword and make him kneel and apologize to Ice Cloud Fairy."
He couldn't belittle him arbitrarily. The Nine Swords Young Master rejecting Ice Cloud Fairy in public was a well-known fact. Many admirers of Ice Cloud Fairy had denounced the Nine Swords Young Master for not knowing what was good for him. He would pretend to be an admirer of Ice Cloud Fairy and use this reason to belittle the Nine Swords Young Master. That girl shouldn't be able to see through it, right?
This time, Sun Zhongshu was on guard against Wei Min, already having internal defenses.
Wei Min didn't sense anything unusual this time. She looked at Li Beifei and said, "Master, it seems we misheard earlier. He doesn't admire you; he wants to kill you."
Li Beifei's face darkened as well. Just as he was about to say something, a voice rang out.
"Young Master, Little Min'er, we've finally found you."
Liu Yanran and Liu Yuran arrived together.
"What's going on here?"
Liu Yanran and Liu Yuran also noticed that the atmosphere was strange. They even saw a stranger standing to the side.
Sun Zhongshu looked at Liu Yanran and Liu Yuran in astonishment. He found their attire very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
That's right, the Rouge Rankings. Aren't these two women Yang Liu and Yang Yi? Rumor has it that they are the Nine Swords Young Master's maids. Why are they here? Wait…
A flash of inspiration went through Sun Zhongshu's mind. He looked at Li Beifei, dressed in white, eight feet tall, with a dignified appearance and handsome features. These were all descriptions of the Nine Swords Young Master's appearance.
Yang Liu and Yang Yi are here, so this person…
"I am the Nine Swords Young Master you wanted to cut down with your sword!" Li Beifei looked at Sun Zhongshu sinisterly.
"This…"
Sun Zhongshu didn't know what to say.
Li Beifei ignored Sun Zhongshu. Wei Min didn't sense that he was lying, but the old sixth in his body told him that this kid would say anything to survive.
Li Beifei was only curious and that's why he looked for him, not for the sacred medicine. Now that he had found him and satisfied his curiosity, he didn't plan to argue with him anymore.
Li Beifei looked at Liu Yanran and asked, "Why are you here?"
"Master was afraid you would get lost with Little Min'er, so he sent us out to find you," Liu Yanran said with a smile.
"Get lost?" Li Beifei was stunned. It wouldn't be strange if he got lost alone, but he had Wei Min with him. With Wei Min around, how could he get lost?
"You're looking for Little Min'er, right?" Li Beifei asked.
"Young Master, since you know, why ask?" Liu Yanran looked at Li Beifei with a half-smile.
"I屮艸芔茻…"
Li Beifei didn't know what he was cursing, but the curses were very vulgar.
Wei Min was very happy to hear that her grandmaster was looking for her. Seeing this, Li Beifei couldn't help but feel jealous. "Little Min'er, I'm your master. Why aren't you this happy when you're with me?"
"I am happy!"
Wei Min said.
"Really?" Li Beifei didn't believe it.
"Really, Master, look at my sincere eyes!" Wei Min stared at Li Beifei with her bright eyes. Wei Min was undoubtedly a very cute girl, but being born with knowledge gave her a mature temperament. But now, looking at Li Beifei like this, Li Beifei admitted that his heart was melting.
He finally understood Gu Changsheng's reason for "valuing daughters over sons." How wonderful it would be if he and Qingyi had such a cute daughter in the future.
"Cough cough, let's go!"
Li Beifang coughed twice, regained his senses, and then left with Liu Yanran and Liu Yuran, carrying Wei Min.
"Wait!"
Suddenly, Li Beifei stopped. He came to Sun Zhongshu, who looked stunned, and asked, "What's your name?"
"Uh… Sun Zhongshu."
Sun Zhongshu was stunned for a moment and answered.
"Such a refined name?" Li Beifei muttered. The name sounded like that of a scholar who was well-read in poetry and books, but he couldn't see the elegant temperament of a scholar in Sun Zhongshu. Instead, his whole body exuded a sense of "cowardice."
"Sun Zhongshu, from now on, you're my little brother!"
After saying that, without waiting for Sun Zhongshu to agree, Li Beifei left with Sun Zhongshu, Liu Yanran, and the others.
The old fellow suddenly asked him and Little Min'er to return, obviously not just to return. It was also time to return to the mortal realm.
