Chapter 286 The Aggressive Tian Xin
"Elder Tian, Elder Liu! What's wrong with you? Why are you looking at me like that?" Bai Ke stepped forward and asked, feigning concern.
Tian Xin's face turned unusually pale. She opened her mouth to speak, but Elder Liu noticed in time and preemptively asked Bai Ke:
"Young friend, has Ling Feng been dealt with?"
"Of course, Ling Feng is dead, and my father and Grandmaster Liu have already returned to the sect."
Bai Ke brandished Ling Feng's Azure Sky Ring, waved it in front of the two, and said with a smile:
"This battle was full of twists and turns, but thankfully, we finally managed to kill this traitor."
"The process must have been quite exciting, right?"
"It's a long story..."
Faced with Liu Yiji's questioning, Bai Ke recounted the entire process of chasing and killing Ling Feng in detail.
Bai Ke omitted the part where he interrogated Ling Feng, but Tian Xin and Liu Yi listened with great interest, nodding and sighing frequently.
"Old Liu, is your injury any better?" Bai Ke asked with concern after finishing his sentence.
"This minor injury is nothing to worry about, but it's a pity that my treasure got a gash from that damned Ling Feng."
When Liu Yi mentioned the broken prison cage, he couldn't help but beat his chest and stamp his feet, looking extremely heartbroken.
It's clear that Liu Yiji has a lot of affection for his baby.
“A broken item can be repaired, but if something happens to Old Liu’s health, that would be a huge loss, wouldn’t you say?”
"What you say is correct, young friend."
Liu Yi felt much better after Bai Ke's words. However, Tian Xin, who was standing to the side, still frowned, looking like she wanted to say something but couldn't.
"Elder Tian, is there something you want to say to me?" Bai Ke asked, squinting at Tian Xin.
When Tian Xin saw Bai Ke's expression, she couldn't help but recall his devilish demeanor from before, and goosebumps rose all over her body. For a moment, she didn't dare to look him in the eye!
"I'm actually afraid of him?" Tian Xin felt a surge of surprise and indignation. She forcibly suppressed her unease and looked at Bai Ke with a stiff upper lip, saying:
"Elder Liu and I collected the bodies, but in the process... we also discovered that the bodies of Second Elder Xing Jian and his son Lin Xiu were not quite right!"
"Oh? Is something wrong?" Bai Ke asked with interest.
Seeing Bai Ke's feigned ignorance, Tian Xin became even angrier and said angrily:
"Both servants were killed by Ling Feng with a single shot to the throat, which can be considered normal."
"But the fatal wound on Lin Xiu's body was a bullet through the throat, and the fatal wound on Xing Jian's body was even more outrageous, as his skull was crushed by brute force!"
Tian Xin pointed at the corpses of Xing Jian and Lin Xiu and said decisively:
"I was there the whole time and saw Lin Xiu faint, and Xing Jian was seriously injured and exhausted. Ling Feng didn't continue to chase them after that!"
"so what?"
"You were the one who volunteered to take care of the wounded. You were the only one who had the chance to kill them, and you're still pretending to be stupid!"
Liu Yi, a shrewd man, was well aware of the shady dealings involved. He subtly tugged at Tian Xin's sleeve, signaling her to stop asking questions.
Tian Xin, however, lost her temper. She arrogantly shook off Liu Yiji's hand, walked a few steps to Bai Ke, and asked in a deep voice:
"You killed them, didn't you?"
Seeing Tian Xin questioning Bai Ke so directly, Liu Yiji knew something was wrong and desperately tried to wink at Bai Ke.
The meaning was quite clear: as long as Bai Ke pretended to be clueless and said he didn't know, the matter could be easily dismissed.
Bai Ke waved his hand at Liu Yiji, indicating that it was alright.
He suddenly moved closer to Tian Xin's face, slowly narrowed his eyes, and revealed a cruel smile, saying each word clearly:
"Yes, I killed him. But so what?"
Their faces were only an inch apart, and Tian Xin could even feel Bai Ke's breath.
In that instant, she felt that the aura was not warm at all, but rather extremely cold and indifferent, and unruly.
"Do you...do you know what a heinous crime it is to harm fellow disciples and kill sect elders?" Tian Xin said, barely managing to suppress her fear.
"I know. But so what?" Bai Ke stared intently at Tian Xin, his tone arrogant and sinister.
Tian Xin was stunned! She stared blankly at Bai Ke's murderous eyes, her mind in a state of panic as if she had fallen into an endless hell, at a loss for what to do.
"Elder Tian!" Liu Yi rushed forward and pulled Tian Xin away, patting her back and whispering, "You've worked too hard on this mission, are you a little confused?"
After being pulled away, Tian Xin trembled and woke up, but still looked shaken.
Bai Ke outwardly smiled at Tian Xin, but secretly transmitted a vicious message to her:
"You're a smart person. You should know what you should and shouldn't say. Don't go looking for trouble, and don't cause me any more trouble."
"If it weren't for the fact that you took good care of me when I was little, and that my father was on good terms with you... you know what I'm capable of, Aunt Tian Xin!"
Upon hearing this, Tian Xin silently looked up at Bai Ke, her face filled with complex emotions and her eyes brimming with disappointment.
So he still remembered, he used to call me aunt, but... why does he seem like a completely different person?
Indifferent, ruthless, cruel, and unscrupulous!
He is no longer the naive boy he once was; he has grown up and become completely unfamiliar.
After a long while, Tian Xin closed her eyes and sighed.
Seeing that the atmosphere had eased considerably, Liu Yi quickly suggested:
"It's getting late, let's hurry up and clean up the bodies and head back to the sect?"
"Excellent! Both elders have worked hard and should return to the sect to rest as soon as possible. Elder Tian, what do you think?"
Bai Ke looked at Tian Xin, but Tian Xin remained silent and nodded quietly.
She turned around to deal with the body, but her thin back looked somewhat desolate.
Liu Yiji slowly walked to Bai Ke's side, stood shoulder to shoulder with him, and said in a low voice:
"Young friend, you did a good job killing Xing Jian and Lin Xiu! Especially that old dog Xing Jian, a good-for-nothing who held a position without doing any work! He had been bullying and oppressing people in the sect for so many years, I had long disliked him, and now that he is dead, it is truly gratifying!"
"Hehe, I'm doing this for the sect! Only by eliminating all these parasites can the sect go further."
"What you say is absolutely right, young friend. But please don't take Elder Tian's words to heart..."
"I understand, Mr. Liu, please don't worry."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yiji nodded slightly.
After their conversation ended, Tian Xin had also finished dealing with most of the issues.
"Elder Tian, you've worked hard. Now that everything is settled, let's set off back to the sect."
After Bai Ke finished speaking, he took out the Lingyun Ferry, and the three of them entered it.
There was a "boom".
Lingyun Ferry transformed into a streak of light and vanished into the horizon in an instant…
