Chapter 75: Lian Hanxing: Little Tang Qi, Take Him Down!
Chen Ling’er delivered a powerful blow, causing Tang Qi to stagger.
Xia Hongxiu stood by, dumbfounded. In her memory, the Senior Apprentice Sister had never laid a hand on Tang Qi before.
This was the first time.
Tang Qi was stunned, covering his face, as he could hardly accept this fact.
“You actually dared to hit me! Not even my father has ever hit me!”
“Of course, because you are an orphan!”
Chen Ling’er’s voice was cold and filled with ruthlessness, as though she had become a different person.
Such a sudden change caught Tang Qi off guard.
Wasn’t he the apple of this woman’s eye? For him, Chen Ling’er had even disregarded her principles against Zhou Tong.
But why had she become even less affectionate toward him since he had planted the Infatuation Insect within her?
Was women’s nature really so fickle?
“I won’t let you off!”
Tang Qi was furious, desperately urging the Infatuation Insect to make Chen Ling’er pay the price.
“Uh…”
Chen Ling’er’s expression changed drastically as she felt a strong wave of impulse sweep through her body, making her instinctively react.
Her long legs slightly bent, trembling tightly together, and her body became several times more sensitive.
“No… stop! What is happening to me?”
She bit down hard on her red lips, desperately resisting the seductive urge.
At the same time, she constantly reminded herself that she truly cared for Zhou Tong, that she must not waver.
But no matter how hard she tried, the image of Tang Qi in her mind became increasingly clear, to the point of becoming unforgettable, deeply etched in her heart.
She was about to be tamed!
“Showing off your skills where you shouldn’t!”
Lian Hanxing scoffed from the side, lightly flicking her finger to sever the connection caused by the Infatuation Insect, rendering it temporarily ineffective.
In an instant, Chen Ling’er returned to normal and was filled with immense anger.
“How is this possible?”
Tang Qi gasped, completely blindsided by this turn of events.
Just moments ago, he had exerted all his effort, even utilizing the soul power of the old man, and was on the verge of completely conquering her, only for it to fail at the last moment.
“You dare!!”
Chen Ling’er was truly angered this time. Unaffected by the bug, she could finally think for herself and understand the unfolding events.
“So that’s it, I was being manipulated.”
“It was Tang Qi who used despicable means to cloud my consciousness, pushing me to irrationally favor him.”
“Maybe how I treated Zhou Tong back then was all Tang Qi’s fault!”
If Tang Qi knew her thoughts, he would surely shout in protest.
Don’t place all the blame on him!
However, Chen Ling’er didn’t care. She thought she had found a reasonable excuse and was suddenly enlightened, shedding all her burdens.
“That’s right. I have always had feelings for Zhou Tong. I was just manipulated by a scoundrel, which is why I turned into this!”
With that thought, her feelings for Tang Qi completely transformed into pure hatred, free of any impurities!
“It’s all your fault!”
The angrier she got, the more she swung her arm to slap Tang Qi again.
“Stop!”
A voice filled with anger suddenly interrupted.
Of course, this commotion couldn’t escape Mo Liushu’s notice. She arrived just in time to stop Chen Ling’er’s action.
“Master, just now, Junior Brother Qi attacked Zhou Tong. Please punish him and grant Zhou Tong justice.”
“I didn’t! This entire thing was his self-directed act!”
Tang Qi argued loudly, but Mo Liushu raised her hand to silence him.
“It’s just a trivial matter. There’s no need to make such a big fuss.”
Mo Liushu said expressionlessly.
“Master… how can you…”
Chen Ling’er’s expression changed slightly. The evidence was so clear, yet Mo Liushu was trying to downplay it. It was clearly favoritism towards Tang Qi.
And that was indeed the case.
Mo Liushu was still angry over Zhou Tong’s defiance. Tang Qi’s action against Zhou Tong was precisely what she wanted to do. How could she possibly reprimand Tang Qi?
She only wanted Zhou Tong to see reality; a waste of a person had no right to act tough in front of her. She was Zhou Tong’s heavens!
One could only say that this Mo Liushu was either not thinking clearly or was exceedingly greedy.
When Zhou Tong wasn’t around, she just wanted him to return, willing to pay any price for it. Now that Zhou Tong had returned, she wanted to completely control him.
Never satisfied, she would forever forget the promises she made.
Tang Qi smiled, having seen Mo Liushu’s bias, and his heart suddenly calmed.
“Master, I merely arranged a small room for my Senior Brother. Instead of being grateful, he not only spoke harshly to me but also attacked.”
“You know our other rooms are reserved for honored guests. I thought my Senior Brother would understand my actions for the benefit of the Jade Purity Sect, but didn’t expect…”
He trailed off, causing Mo Liushu to frown slightly at Zhou Tong.
“How could you be so shortsighted? You couldn’t take even this small grievance for the sake of the sect?”
“That’s not right!”
Chen Ling’er stepped forward, pointing at Tang Qi. “Since you say it so easily, why don’t you switch rooms with Zhou Tong? How about you live in this doghouse?”
Tang Qi’s expression changed slightly, but Mo Liushu interjected, “Of course not! They are not comparable. Xiao Qi is the hope of the sect, representing its face, while Zhou Tong is just a waste…”
Before she could finish, her expression twisted abruptly, and a familiar painful jolt struck her mind.
“Oh no… the Unwarranted Calamity is about to strike again!”
Just thinking of this flooded her with fear, for that pain terrified her immensely.
“Damn it, it seems I cannot target this rebellious disciple too much!”
Mo Liushu suddenly saw the light, quickly changing her mind and made a decision.
“Upon further thought, I feel that Ling’er makes a point. Since Xiao Qi is the hope of the sect, he should bear more responsibility. Therefore, I agree to you switching rooms!”
Hearing this, Tang Qi felt as if thunder had struck him, standing dumbfounded.
He couldn’t even believe his ears.
“Master…”
“I have made my decision; there will be no changes.”
Once she said that, Mo Liushu left, completely not giving anyone a chance to speak.
“Junior Brother, let’s go too.”
Chen Ling’er affectionately linked arms with Lian Hanxing. Just as they were about to leave, Lian Hanxing suddenly turned back, meeting Tang Qi’s gaze, offering a provocative expression.
That glance nearly caused his heart to explode with rage.
These were the same tricks he had once played; now they were being used against him by Zhou Tong. Was there anything more humiliating than this?
“I swear, I will make you suffer endlessly!”
He roared with crimson eyes, like a wild beast.
…
In the Heavenly Prison of the Soaring Empire’s palace, Zhou Tong’s method was about to be completed.
Suddenly, a flash of rosy light shimmered and coalesced into a book of secrets.
Everyone leaned in, and five golden characters suddenly came into view.
“Small Ignorant Seal Talisman!”
