Tenfold Repayment

If you don't hand over such a powerful ability to the sect, wouldn't it be a waste?

"Cousin, do my father and the others know that you've absorbed a ten-thousand-year spirit ring?" Yu Xiaogang brought out the biggest mountain of the Blue Sky Tyrant Sect to pressure him.

Lu Mingchuan glanced at the anxious Yu Xiaogang.

Gangzi, you don't have the strength, so why are you putting on an act?

Are you really going to fall apart just from seeing one ten-thousand-year spirit ring?

None of you are as good as my Huazi; she saw my things and didn't show the slightest fluctuation, her expression remaining as calm as ever.

Bibi Dong shifted her gaze toward Tang Yuehua.

She discovered that her expression was indeed as Lu Mingchuan had described—incredibly calm. It seemed that the appearance of five spirit rings of the same color had only stunned her for a moment.

But the next second, she noticed something strange.

No, Lu Mingchuan, if you're going to praise someone, can you at least use your brain?

Bibi Dong was truly impressed by this guy, Lu Mingchuan.

Praising someone who had never even seen a white spirit ring for being calm? Tang Yuehua hadn't even seen what a spirit ring looked like on her own body; it was already enough that she knew your five-colored spirit ring configuration was special.

Facing Yu Xiaogang's questioning, the Old Butler gave him a slap directly. "How are you speaking to the Young Master? He is your cousin; show him some respect."

Lu Mingchuan didn't even need to pay him any mind; the Old Butler could keep him perfectly in line.

The current situation was to continue following the plot.

Lu Mingchuan slowly walked from a distance to a position close to Bibi Dong.

He looked at her with an unruly gaze.

"What? Are you the one in charge of Spirit Hall?"

Being suave was one thing, but he was supposed to mock Bibi Dong in the plot, so there was nothing wrong with this.

Bibi Dong said in a flat tone, "I am, but do you dare to touch me?"

Hearing Bibi Dong pick up the conversation like that, Lu Mingchuan was amused.

In any case, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect's reputation in Spirit Hall was already declining, so what did that have to do with him?

"Spirit Hall? I'll say it again: what kind of thing is that?"

Yu Xiaogang's face turned black instantly. Cousin, can we not be so arrogant? Can't we just leave after saving me?

He didn't even want to ask about any secrets anymore. You're courting death like this; aren't you afraid we won't be able to get out?

Bibi Dong didn't know what to say next either.

After all, she wasn't someone brainless like Yu Xiaogang.

After thinking it over, Bibi Dong left the opportunity to speak to Lu Mingchuan.

"Oh? You want to provoke me? But I won't let you have your way."

She didn't believe that even after saying this, that annoying guy Lu Mingchuan wouldn't reveal what he was planning to do next.

If you don't want to have your way, then don't.

Do you think your role today is that important? Go find somewhere cool to stay.

Today is the plot where Yu Xiaogang confronts your subordinate and wins him over; it has absolutely nothing to do with you.

What about the guard? Don't you usually bring a guard? Who is going to play the opponent for Yu Xiaogang in a moment?

Lu Mingchuan glanced at Bibi Dong, hoping to wait for that guard brother on this empty street.

That man was Bibi Dong's confidant and was highly regarded among all the guards.

Bibi Dong, however, was a bit skeptical. Could that guy Yu Xiaogang really win over her guard in just a few words? Was he joking?

But once she thought about Yu Xiaogang's bizarre nature, she felt it wasn't impossible.

Bibi Dong certainly believed in her people's loyalty to her.

But her confidence was a bit shaky.

"By the way, where is the guard?"

He was usually responsible for her safety and would immediately follow and protect her surroundings after receiving the message that she had come out.

But today, so much time had passed, and she hadn't even seen a shadow.

"Still looking for the guard? What can those useless sacks of wine and rice under your command actually do?" Lu Mingchuan knew.

Those guards would definitely show up. Even if they were absent for some reason, they would arrive due to force majeure because they were, after all, Yu Xiaogang's stepping stones.

It was just that Lu Mingchuan's script had changed to the final big boss cousin, not like those guys who finished their roles in a single scene.

But?

Lu Mingchuan rubbed his chin.

He was exceptionally familiar with Bibi Dong's guard because that guy had a nickname that was extremely fitting: Tenfold Brother.

[Why aren't you coming out yet, Tenfold Brother?]

[I've been waiting for you until the flowers are practically wilting.]

"Stop waiting for the guards, you..."

Lu Mingchuan hadn't even finished his sentence when he was interrupted by a high-pitched voice.

"You bastard! If you dare harm the Saintess even slightly, I will make you pay back tenfold!" As soon as Tenfold Brother appeared, he was desperate to save her.

Seeing Lu Mingchuan intending to harm Bibi Dong, Tenfold Brother urgently analyzed the current situation.

With the Saintess in their hands, it would be difficult to rescue her; the only way was to find something they cared about.

And Yu Xiaogang was the very person he had set his sights on.

He had seen this guy many times before and had figured out his true identity: a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect.

The person blocking the path in front of Her Highness Bibi Dong was indeed wearing the robes of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect, though he didn't know how they suddenly found the courage to strike at the Saintess of Spirit Hall.

He had to save her at all costs.

With a roll, he seized Yu Xiaogang and held him hostage.

"Stop right there, or I'll make this sleazy guy taste what 'tenfold damage' feels like."

Lu Mingchuan had waited a long time, finally hoping for him to appear.

[Finally, the main character has come out.]

[It's time to exit the stage, and time to take someone hostage and leave.]

[But then again, it's not like I absolutely have to take anyone hostage, right?]

His wicked inner thoughts stirred once more.

Lu Mingchuan's expression remained normal, but a little devil had already risen in his heart.

He frowned and looked at Yu Xiaogang: "Cousin!"

Feeling the dagger at his throat, Yu Xiaogang hurriedly begged for mercy: "Cousin, save me! I don't want to die!"

"Don't worry." Lu Mingchuan looked at Tenfold Brother, "Isn't your goal to save her? How about we exchange hostages at the same time?"

Bibi Dong behind him was full of question marks. Was that guard blind? Who was she being held by?

But the moment Lu Mingchuan grabbed her arm, she entered her role in a second.

The two of them moved forward, each carrying a hostage.

When they were only two meters apart, neither dared to act rashly.

Tenfold Brother was very clear that the other side would definitely play tricks, so he would make him stand in front of the Saintess when the time came.

As the hostages crossed the one-meter zone, both men let go at the same time, but Lu Mingchuan quickly struck again.

Tenfold Brother blocked the path in front of Bibi Dong, "Saintess, run! I'll cover the rear!"

But to everyone's surprise, Lu Mingchuan used both hands to instantly capture and restrain Tenfold Brother, who had just reached the level of a Soul King.

"Heh, as expected of the Saintess of Spirit Hall. If I don't see my cousin in two days, I will make the hostage in my hands wish he were dead."

Lu Mingchuan dropped the threat and left.

He left behind Bibi Dong, who stood there empty-handed; she hadn't done anything at all!

[Hehe, Tenfold Brother, 'pay back tenfold' is it?]

[I wonder if you really can pay back tenfold? Butler, hurry up and give this hostage a proper welcome.]
