There's No Escaping Your Fate

Well, but it's too scary, so Raven didn't dare ask.

So Raven is in a state of going through the motions but not putting in any real effort, and her mentality is actually quite similar to that of Reanna and the others.

"Can Mei really do it?" The group of followers behind her had already begun to question Mei's authority as the group leader.

People trust you to let you start a group, and this is how you do it?

"Let's just hang her on the ceiling." Fu Hua pushed up his glasses.

Bronya thought it would be better to hang it below the sky island.

Bronya continued speaking following Fu Hua's words, and then Cocolia knocked her down.

"I think the main issue should be preventing Rita and Liu Bai from having any contact," Mei continued with a half-smile.

She couldn't let this go. Her figure was no worse than Rita's, and she knew all sorts of rope games. Why didn't Brother Liu Bai come to find her?

No question, kick Rita out first, ban her, we absolutely cannot let her continue to expand her advantage.

With Rita banned, Mei felt she still had a significant advantage over the remaining bunch of nobodies. Even if she had to back down, she was still a formidable fighter. It's true that beauty is only meant for the strong!

"... I'd rather hear what the Lord God has to say."

Otto should have been the one to explode with anger, was surprisingly calm—which surprised everyone present.

However, Su Mei then nodded and said, "The matter of our master should naturally be decided by our master himself."

"I think my grandmaster actually deserves to have three wives and four concubines..." Qin Suyi was hit by Cheng Lingshuang as soon as she finished speaking.

If I can't hit my senior sister, then why can't I hit you, little Qi?

"..."

The members of the jury suddenly realized something very ominous.

Is there... a lot of moles here?

Although there are no supporters, there are too many neutrals, right?

Like Reanna, like Otto, like Su Mei...

"Wait, wait, don't include me. Otto is Otto, and I am me."

Kallen waved her hands repeatedly, but she wasn't surprised by Otto's attitude.

For Otto, his own Lord God couldn't be wrong. Lord God wasn't wrong, then Rita couldn't be wrong—so who was wrong then?

Well, from this perspective, Otto is actually a mole—although this mole is also very unhappy.

"Um... can I really talk?"

Liu Bai, who had always pretended to be invisible, spoke up.

"If it's about protecting Rita, then there's no need to say anything more." Edison's words shut Liu Bai down.

"See, I knew it wasn't my turn. I'm the spoils of war."

Liu Bai helplessly shrugged, and then Einstein picked him up and rubbed his hands.

"Is Rita comfortable?" Einstein asked a very sensitive question in a very calm and quiet voice.

"..." Don't ask such a sensitive question right away, Einstein!

"How about we do some research?" Einstein tidied his hair, which he had already combed neatly during the day.

"... What research?"

"Who excites you more, Dr. Einstein or Rita, Liu Bai?"

Einstein raised an eyebrow and gave a gentle smile.

Hey! You over there with the messy hair! Don't sneak off!

Tesla's shout immediately drew everyone's attention to Einstein.

"... Dr. Tesla, who is more than capable of ruining things."

Einstein sighed.

"W-What are you doing? Everyone is judging Rita, and you sneaking off like this is just wrong, isn't it?"

Suddenly feeling a little guilty Tesla stammered.

"..."

Einstein rubbed Liu Bai in his arms again.

"First of all, does Dr. Tesla still naively believe this is a trial?"

"Isn't it difficult?"

"Dr. Einstein was not at all surprised by Dr. Tesla's answer."

Einstein sighed.

"Don't worry, Dr. Einstein will make room for you in his home in the future, since Dr. Tesla is kind of silly and cute."

"Do you think I'm some kind of pet?!"

Tesla, who was making his comments, was completely unaware that the atmosphere in the room had suddenly become tense.

Einstein's words served as a wake-up call for everyone present.

Trial? Trial my ass!

The real key is stealing men!

"You lot better not mess around here."

Einstein was suddenly picked up and lifted up.

Liu Bai looked at the crowd in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.

He was in the wrong this time, so he felt he had nothing to say, but the atmosphere between you two has turned out like this... Do you really think I'm a puppet?

"Lord God... Shasha...??~"

"Wow!! It's my great-grandmaster!"

"Our master possessed the appearance of a celestial being..."

"Congratulations, Alliance Leader."

"Teacher..."

"Hmm." Liu Bai nodded to the various expressions on the faces of the people present, then his face darkened immediately. "Everyone, find a seat! I'll take charge of summarizing this matter! Su Mei, bring me the family discipline!... Kallen, give Otto two slaps."

Want to fight? You've gone too far!

Chapter 304 Inescapable

"I just heard you, Great Sword Saint Cheng, showing off your power outside. So, Great Sword Saint Cheng, why don't you just chop me up?"

Liu Bai spoke sarcastically to Cheng Lingshuang, who was kneeling.

To reiterate, Liu Bai originally didn't intend to get involved today. After all, this incident was tantamount to him being caught cheating, and no matter what, he seemed to have no say and was completely in the wrong.

But Liu Bai couldn't just watch these people make a move.

"Master... Grandmaster."

This was the first time Li Sushang had ever seen such a pitiful expression on her usually fearless stepmother's face.

"I...you...this...this...I, your grand-disciple, will accept the punishment."

Cheng Lingshuang turned around resignedly, sticking her butt out. Liu Bai didn't hold back and grabbed the family disciplinary rod, striking her twice.

Smack! Smack!

There was a reason why Cheng Lingshuang was chosen first. When it came to being the most troublesome person present, Cheng Lingshuang truly believed herself to be second to none.

Others might not dare to really go all out in a fight, but Cheng Lingshuang definitely would.

Therefore, even if Liu Bai is looking for trouble, he has to at least show Cheng Lingshuang's arrogance.

"Su Mei, hand over Ling Shuang's sword to me."

"Yes." Su Mei bowed to Liu Bai, then smiled at Cheng Lingshuang, "I told you a long time ago, Fifth Brother, to change your temperament. Well, did you hear what Grandmaster said?"

"... I heard you."

Cheng Lingshuang obediently unfastened the sword from her waist and handed it to Su Mei.

"Alright, get up." Liu Bai saw that Cheng Lingshuang's attitude in admitting her mistake was quite good.

Hmm... I just don't know how long I can remember it.

Cheng Lingshuang breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. This matter could be over. What did a couple of lashes matter?

The family rules were just hollow wooden rulers; they made a loud noise but didn't hurt. They were used to help elders vent their anger. For someone like her who was skilled in martial arts, getting hit a couple of times was like being bitten by a mosquito. The main thing was to teach her a lesson.

She didn't care if the sword was confiscated, since she was just using it as a high-attribute basic sword anyway. But basic swords couldn't keep up with her level anyway, so in her hands, there was really no difference between an ordinary iron sword and a basic Xuanyuan Sword, right?

Well, among the Tai Xu Sword Sect, only Li Sushang and Cheng Lingshuang have Xuanyuan Sword without special effects.

In short, it's good that this matter can be resolved as it is.

"Susang, come and lie down too."

Liu Bai called over Li Sushang, who was secretly laughing at her stepmother's disheveled appearance.

"Eh? Grandmaster? Chang... Chang'er hasn't done anything bad, has she?"

Li Sushang, whose name was mentioned, immediately looked dejected.

"With that shout from you, you deserve a couple of lashes."

"That... that's entirely because of Grandmaster and Rita, isn't it? Who... who could have imagined that you, Grandmaster, were with Rita..."

As Li Sushang spoke, her face turned as red as an apple.

"Okay, then ask the people here. If half of them think I shouldn't have hit you, then you're just going to let it go like that. Come on, everyone, raise your hands."

Swish swish swish!

Upon hearing Liu Bai's words, almost everyone present raised their hands in unison, including Su Mei and Qin Suyi.

If it weren't for that unlucky girl's shout, would things have turned out like this?

Everyone has a sense of wishful thinking. Even without any reason, they all feel that if Li Sushang hadn't yelled that, they would have been in the second tier, or at least there would have been fewer people competing for food.

Yes, that's what they call inexplicable self-confidence.

Therefore, most of the people present did not like Li Sushang.

"Now you understand why your grandmaster hit you, right?"

"Shang'er understands..."

Li Sushang obediently lay on the bed with her buttocks sticking out.

Well, she didn't really understand, but judging from the looks in her aunt's and stepmother's eyes, she knew she'd probably get a beating when she got back.

Li Sushang was quite perceptive, so she immediately understood that Liu Bai was giving her a choice—either get two lashes here or go back and get beaten.

Why even choose? Of course, you'll get a beating here.

Anyway, family discipline doesn't hurt much, and the great-grandfather isn't very strong. If it were her own aunt, she would definitely pull out a solid iron ruler. Su Mei never tolerates Li Sushang.

Liu Bai gave Li Sushang a couple of symbolic taps, then gestured for the girl to go away.

"Susang, from now on, you must remain calm and composed in all situations, and not be easily alarmed... Susang? Did you hear me?"

"Ah? Ah! Susang understands!" Li Sushang, who was half asleep, suddenly woke up and nodded repeatedly.

To be honest, the force with which my great-grandfather hit someone was kind of satisfying...

After responding, Li Sushang continued to drift off into her own world.

Meanwhile, Liu Bai continued calling out names.

"Mei, you... never mind, this is the last time, don't bring this kind of thing again."

The few ordinary people present were somewhat sickly in Liu Bai's memory, so Liu Bai was a little reluctant to hit them.

"Yes."
