Ling Xi: "..." I mean...

At this moment, Ling Xi could already imagine the scene where Li Sushang would call the Immortal Grandmaster, then call him Master, and finally... the Immortal would pat his head and call him Nephew...

Ling Xi "..."

In short, no matter what, we must correct this girl's thinking before the Immortal awakens!

By the way, Qin Suyi will probably come knocking on my door with her seven disciples soon. I'll just take the opportunity to release Li Sushang and let her follow the original storyline to become Cheng Lingshuang's disciple. As for myself...

All I need to do is teach Li Sushang when I have free time, and maybe increase my favorability with her. I'm pretty free right now anyway!

And so, Li Sushang began to learn from Ling Xi. In addition to fighting, Ling Xi naturally did not forget to educate her in culture. Otherwise, it would be too much of a sight to see a dignified female warrior like Li Sushang being illiterate!

However, it seems that when Li Sushang allocated her stat points, she put all of them into Agility and Strength...

Chapter 564: Seven Swords Encirclement and Attack!

Time flies, two months have passed...

"Hey Little Li Zi, why hasn't your mom come to pick you up yet?"

In the living room, Ling Xi and Li Sushang sat facing each other at the dining table, eating the freshly cooked breakfast—the legendary egg noodles!

Since it was morning, and Li Sushang also wanted to eat, Ling Xi specially made two servings.

"My name isn't Little Li Zi..."

Li Sushang pursed her lips. It had been two months, and this guy still hadn't given up calling her Little Li Zi. Of course, she wouldn't give in.

"Slurp slurp slurp..."

While slurping noodles, Li Sushang said, "It's probably because Mom knows you didn't mean to hurt me. After all, you only injured my mother and didn't kill her. So she probably thinks it's not bad for me to stay with you."

Ling Xi: "..." I really just wanted to show my face, but your mother attacked me, so I brought you back as a last resort. I originally planned to let Qin Suyi experience the pain of separation, but...

Now it seems...

Does this mean I've become a free babysitter?

If this girl stays here, I'll have to provide her with food and lodging, and I'll also have to teach her martial arts and literature. Sometimes, I get so angry about teaching her to read and write that I get a headache. This...

Why do I suddenly feel like I've been scammed?

"So, what exactly is your grudge against my mother?"

Li Sushang continued slurping her noodles, asking curiously, "You two don't seem like enemies at all, and... you even told my mom to call you 'Uncle-Master' back then? Could you really be my mom's Uncle-Master?"

"What, doesn't it look like it?"

Ling Xi glared at Li Sushang.

"It doesn't look like it at all, okay?"

Li Sushang pursed her lips and retorted, "I think you're only twelve or thirteen years older than me, eighteen at most, while my mother is already over thirty. How could you possibly be my mother's martial uncle?"

Hearing this, Ling Xi remained silent for a long while, ultimately choosing not to tell Li Sushang the truth, after all...

This is something that happened to the previous generation; it shouldn't be passed down to Li Sushang!

"Um?"

Suddenly, Ling Xi seemed to realize something...

"What's wrong, Master?"

Li Sushang immediately asked out of curiosity.

"Your mother is here, and also..."

Ling Xi smiled slightly and said, "Don't call me master!"

"Mother?"

Li Sushang's eyes lit up immediately. Could she leave now?

But...

I seem to be doing quite well here. I have plenty to eat and drink, and I can even read comics. Although I can't understand most of the characters, that's one of my motivations for learning to write!

"You've finally arrived, Tai Xu Seven Swords!"

On the platform outside the door, Ling Xi observed the seven people who had come. Through her vague memory, Ling Xi could roughly guess that these should be the seven disciples of the Immortal!

Where is Sushang?

Qin Suyi directly asked about her daughter's whereabouts!

"Mother!"

At this moment, Li Sushang also came out, holding a bowl of noodles in her hand, eating as she walked...

Qin Suyi speechless. She suddenly didn't want her daughter anymore...

Ling Xi was speechless. Thank goodness she hadn't taken her on as a disciple...

"Little Li Zi, you go in first, I'll talk to your mother for a bit."

Ling Xi planned to ask them about what happened back then, so she didn't want Li Sushang to hear it.

"Eh..."

Li Sushang hesitated for a moment!

"Go inside, Sushang!"

Qin Suyi also spoke up suddenly. She could tell that Ling Xi had indeed not harmed Li Sushang, and... judging from the girl's appearance, she seemed to be doing quite well.

"I see..."

So Li Sushang could only take the bowl home, making sure to close the door behind her.

"So, you seven, can you tell me why you did that kind of thing?"

Ling Xi looked directly at Su Mei, because according to the plan, Su Mei was the one who led the master-killing scheme, followed by Lin Zhaoyu. As for the others, he was not sure, but he knew that Qin Suyi was the most hesitant one, which was why he had not yet killed her!

Although Li Sushang was also partly to blame!

"Those who fall into demonic possession must be punished; this is the principle our master taught us."

Holding the Xuanyuan Sword, Su Mei chanted, "But our master has already fallen into demonic possession and killed our relatives. We are acting on behalf of Heaven to uphold justice."

"Enough with the nonsense, just kill him!"

The only male among the seven disciples was already fed up and said, "According to Junior Sister, he is stronger than all of us, but not as strong as Master. We must not let him leave here alive today."

Then, the Tai Xu Seven Swords drew their swords, seemingly eager to kill Ling Xi!

Ling Xi: "..." Holy crap, this script isn't what I expected at all. Why did they start attacking right away...?

Wait, what did that guy just say? According to Qin Suyi, although she is very strong, she is not as good as Fu Hua. Is this woman doing this on purpose?

At this moment, Ling Xi seemed to have discovered something big. She had fought with Qin Suyi before, so Qin Suyi should obviously know that she was a more powerful being than Fu Hua. However... she didn't seem to tell the other six people the truth.

This doesn't seem to be quite different from the original plot...

"Let's do it!"

In an instant, the seven swordsmen had already made their moves, each unleashing their signature techniques, seemingly poised to kill Ling Xi in one strike. However, Qin Suyi seemed to have been intentionally or unintentionally a step behind, appearing at the very back...

"Heh, they're too lazy to even explain themselves. What a bunch of ingrates!"

Seeing the six of them unleash their strongest attacks, Ling Xi's last shred of mercy for them completely vanished!

He had originally planned to wait until Fu Hua woke up before saying anything, but now... since they were so eager to kill him, did that prove that they had something to hide?

Since that's the case...

So, I'm too lazy to ask about the truth anymore. Let everything... just fade away!

"Flames, burn to ashes!"

Ling Xi unleashed Aslaug's power, combined with the Honkai Energy of her own Fused Warrior, and under the absolute energy crushing, the attacks of the seven swords shattered one after another!

"What?"

How could that be?

"Puff..."

In an instant, all but Qin Suyi, who was hiding at the back, were struck by the energy released by Ling Xi, and all of them coughed up blood and fell to the ground...

"Heh... Just as I expected!"

Su Mei sneered and silently looked at Qin Suyi, "You were indeed hiding something from us!"

"I'm sorry, senior sister!"

Qin Suyi said directly, "If you insist on doing what you did back then, then I will let you have your way. But... why did you have to kill my master's body?"

"It really was you!"

Su Mei sneered, "After that, you stole Master's body, didn't you? I never expected... that you would still do that in the end..."

"Senior sister, please stop!"

Qin Suyi shook her head. "Master did not wrong us. Senior Sister, you... are attached to appearances!"

"Heh, you really think you've won?"

Su Mei chuckled, then turned to look at Ling Xi and said, "I admit you're very strong, and I can tell you the truth about what happened back then, but..."

While stalling for time to wait for her subordinates to arrive, Su Mei said to Ling Xi, "I hope you won't collapse after you know the truth, because the Immortal Crimson Kite has already fallen into demonic possession. If we don't kill her..."

"Whoosh..."

Suddenly, a flash of sword light appeared, and Su Mei's body was instantly severed from her head!

Chapter 565: Today, I will clean house for the Immortal!

"Whoosh!"

A flash of sword light, Su Mei instantly lost her head...

Everyone was immediately shocked. Second Senior Sister... was she really gone? At the same time...

Everyone looked at Ling Xi with fear, including Qin Suyi, who never expected Ling Xi to be so decisive!

"Ha, let's not even talk about your outrageous behavior, so what if you're right?"

Ling Xi wiped the long sword in her hand and sneered at the crowd. "Don't forget, Hua... no, I should say Chiyuan, she's one of my people. So why do you think I'll stand on the side of fairness and justice? I... will only stand behind her!"

Ling Xi had no desire to know the truth now; he only wanted to eliminate these traitors. Initially, he might have thought they had their reasons for doing what they did, but after experiencing it firsthand, Ling Xi realized...

I don't care what your reasons are, whatever your reasons may be, the fact that you killed Immortal Fu Hua will not change, so...

Ling Xi no longer wanted to wait for Fu Hua to awaken in the future; he wanted to clean house for the Immortal now!

Perhaps the Immortal truly fell into demonic possession, or perhaps Immortal killed their corrupted relatives, but...

So what? Ever since Seele, I've never believed in justice again. I... will only protect those around me, so...

"Die, all of you!"

A green light flashed in Ling Xi's eyes. Shesha's genes were activated, and the terrifying energy suppressed everyone, rendering them almost unable to move...

"Walk!"

Lin Zhaoyu used the Tai Xu Power to forcefully break Ling Xi's suppression, eliminating the fear on everyone's bodies, and then retreated instantly. They all knew very well that the person in front of them was a more powerful being than the Immortal Crimson Kite!

"Hmph, trying to leave?"

Ling Xi conjured a colossal energy statue and slammed it towards Lin Zhaoyu!

"Get out of the way!"

Ma Feima directly stood in front of Lin Zhaoyu with his sword, and Lin Zhaoyu stopped running away and turned around to join Ma Feima in trying to take Ling Xi's attack together!

"Bang!"

Then, with a single palm strike, their defenses shattered almost instantly, and they were both killed...

"Tai Xu Sword God!"
