Seeing this, Zhou Qingyu feared that Zhao Zhisen, Luo Wendao, and the others had been won over, and hurriedly called to the Flying Sword Fairy, "Flying Sword Fairy, please act!"
The Flying Sword Fairy gave a slight nod. The Ancient Sword in her hand flew out with a clang, shooting straight at Zhou Lian like a streak of silver light, too fast for anyone to dodge or block.
Yet Zhou Lian showed no fear and did not dodge.
Suddenly, a streak of blood-red light slashed at the flying sword. The flying sword was struck and sent spinning away on the spot.
The Flying Sword Fairy gave a muffled grunt and formed a hand seal, drawing the flying sword back above her head. She shouted coldly, "Who is it?"
A young man emanating a sinister, evil aura rose from behind Zhou Lian and smiled. "Gu Fairy, have you been well?"
The Flying Sword Fairy clearly saw the sinister young man's face, and her expression changed drastically. Filled with wariness, she said, "Young Master Huaiyin, Wang Jiehua."
The sinister young man turned his gaze to Zhou Qingyu, sizing her up from head to toe. Then he pointed at her and asked with interest, "Zhou Lian, your wife may be a little old, but she still has quite a flavor. Once we capture her, it won't be a problem for this young master to play with her for a month or two, will it?"
Zhou Lian's expression shifted slightly before he forced out a fawning smile. "For her to catch Young Master Huaiyin's eye is her good fortune."
He had paid an enormous price to hire Young Master Huaiyin, Wang Jiehua, but he had not expected Wang Jiehua to be so lacking in character as to publicly demand to play with his wife.
