Battle Through the Heavens: There Are Always Rebellious Disciples Who Want to Deceive Their Master
Even thinking about it casually gave him a headache!
Why couldn't they contribute a few more?
Was he simply unworthy?
After walking silently for a while, Su Mu suddenly sensed that something was off behind them.
"Girl, watch your back!"
"Uncle, what is it?"
Xiao Yue was utterly confused.
What had happened?
Was there something wrong behind her?
"It seems someone is sneaking around and following us. Be careful!!!"
Ever since someone had followed his Little Disciple before without him noticing, Su Mu had become exceptionally alert to his surroundings, both as a precaution and to avoid embarrassing himself again.
Sure enough, he quickly noticed something amiss!
"Uncle, what should we do? Should we head somewhere with more people?"
Logically speaking, the Market guards should have stopped following her after she left the Market.
So who exactly was secretly following them?
Xiao Yue did not understand. Who would follow her?
And what was their purpose?
Could they be plotting something improper against her?
Who was so bold as to dare plot against her in broad daylight?
Were they not taking the Xiao Family seriously at all?
"Head into a crowd? Why bother?"
Su Mu clearly had other ideas.
"Uncle, someone is plotting against your disciple. Aren't you worried at all?"
Could Uncle be the one plotting against me?
Could it be that, in the end, my greatest enemy has been right by my side?
Is it still too late to run?
Bang!!!
Su Mu could not help knocking Xiao Yue on her little head again!
"What are you thinking about all day long?"
"Would I ever harm you?"
"Later, we'll head straight somewhere with fewer people. I'd like to see which bastard dares plot against my disciple!"
Someone dared lay a hand on his foolish disciple?
How could he possibly tolerate that?
Wasn't this the perfect opportunity for him to show off?
How could Su Mu possibly miss it?
"Uncle, are you really reliable? Can you actually handle this?"
Xiao Yue hesitated greatly, unsure whether she should listen to Uncle.
Ever since becoming his disciple, she had never seen him fight. She had no idea what level of strength he possessed, so how was she supposed to trust her master?
"Just relax. In a moment, I'll show you what I can do!
Would a master like me ever harm you?"
It was only because their current location was unsuitable and he was afraid of frightening the others that he could not use the puppet directly.
Once they reached somewhere less crowded, he would definitely put on a proper show!
"Uncle, I'll trust you this once!"
Although Xiao Yue was deeply suspicious, she ultimately chose to trust her master.
Even so, Xiao Yue remained exceptionally vigilant.
She had made every necessary preparation. The concealed weapons on her were ready at all times, just in case.
The moment Uncle proved useless, she would run!
Xiao Yue silently headed toward a less populated area. Before she knew it, she had entered a secluded alley.
"Come out! You've followed me for so long, so why not show yourself?"
Xiao Yue did not know whether someone was truly following her, but she did not think her master would lie to her.
During those few silent minutes of walking, her palms had already become soaked with sweat.
If she had not been able to clearly see Uncle floating beside her at every moment, she truly would not have had the courage to keep walking forward.
Having someone with ill intentions following her at all times was simply nerve-racking!
Second by second, time passed, yet not a single figure appeared behind Xiao Yue. She could not help growing suspicious.
"Uncle, you weren't just trying to scare me, were you? Where is anyone following me?"
First Fight (1)
"Ha ha ha!!..."
A savage voice came from behind Xiao Yue, instantly sending chills down her spine!
Xiao Yue's whole body trembled, looking especially timid.
There really was someone?
All her previous wishful thinking vanished in that instant.
But Xiao Yue quickly calmed down again.
Everything was within Uncle's expectations, so why should she worry?
She should trust Uncle!
Trust that Uncle could solve every problem!
Seeing Uncle floating beside her, Xiao Yue was immediately filled with confidence again!
What was there to worry about?
"You little brat, you refused the road to heaven and chose to walk straight into hell!!!"
"If you had run toward a crowded place, perhaps I would have had no way to deal with you. But you sought death by heading somewhere secluded, so you can't blame me!"
A cold laugh slowly rang out from the darkness as a figure gradually emerged from the shadows.
"Stall Owner? It's the Stall Owner we met before?"
The instant he appeared, Xiao Yue recognized him.
Wasn't he the Stall Owner who sold Broken Sword?
Why was he following her?
Though there had been some unpleasantness between them, it should not have been such a serious conflict, right?
She had taken his item, but it was not as if she had not paid for it.
On the contrary, she had not underpaid him in the slightest.
Was he still dissatisfied?
Wasn't that a little too greedy?
"Tell me, you followed me all this way. What exactly do you want?"
Xiao Yue spoke coldly.
"Does Miss Xiao really not know?"
The Stall Owner sneered.
"It has not even been that long, yet Miss Xiao has already forgotten everything?"
"You not only tricked me into selling my treasure at a low price, you even had someone drive me out of the Market. What a vicious heart!"
"You're actually calling me vicious?"
Xiao Yue was instantly speechless!
Was there anything wrong with driving a crooked merchant out of her family's Market?
It was her family's Market. Did she not even have the right to throw someone out?
Besides, that guy had never looked like a decent person to begin with!
Now that he had followed her all the way here, he was even less likely to be a good man!
He had probably intercepted people halfway to rob them before more than once, right???
"You are the young lady, so naturally everything you say is right. I just wonder whether you can bear the price you'll have to pay next."
The Stall Owner chuckled twice. His wrinkled old face twisted together, looking cruel and vicious.
"What are you going to do to me?"
Xiao Yue became alert at once.
The man before her clearly harbored ill intentions; she just did not know what exactly he planned to do.
"At worst, I'll apologize for what I did before and give you all the gold coins on me as well. Consider it the price for buying that broken sword from you. That should be enough, right?"
