The group quickly left the mountain hollow.
They immediately changed direction and sped toward the outskirts on the right.
Only after fleeing across several mountain peaks did they slow down.
"Brother Shen, why did Huang Tianji attack you? Did something happen to the Heavenly Machine Tower?" Qin Shaofeng asked at once.
"I thought you weren't going to ask."
Shen Wang gave a bitter smile. "Wasn't it your fiancée who caused the trouble?"
"What exactly happened?"
Qin Shaofeng's expression suddenly turned grave.
Though his status seemed lofty now, and he had a number of Shining Star Position experts under his command—
He knew his own situation best.
Even Ximen Lingzhong treasured the Eternal Love Pill immensely.
He did not believe its effects could be false.
If anything happened to Ximen Bingning, he would certainly be affected as well.
"Miss Ximen's beauty is truly a root that invites disaster. On the second day after we brought her back to the Heavenly Machine Tower, news about her had already spread."
"The young masters of all the great Lineages within the Heavenly Machine Tower practically gathered around where we were staying, using every kind of excuse to get close to her."
"Fortunately, the Grand Tower Master was the personal disciple of a high-ranking figure from the main branch, which gave us a brief period of protection."
"And because we promised you that we would protect Miss Ximen, we ended up offending every one of those young masters."
"When those people saw that soft methods did not work, they began using all sorts of excuses to deal with us. Though we were not the last batch, only seven of us remained alive."
It was clear Shen Wang had a bellyful of bitterness to pour out.
Qin Shaofeng did not mind him going into such detail.
