Since it was Bian Que, would he kill Xia Fuli?
Probably not. A ruthless man willing to let the Demonic Path onto the mountain to root out the spies within Mount Wukang would keep Xia Fuli alive to make use of him. Killing him without an interrogation made no sense.
Besides, Shi Chun had already told him to leave the man alive. That should probably keep Xia Fuli breathing.
After their initial shock, Feng Chi and Xiang Lan'er both turned to look at Shi Chun, who was hiding behind them, their expressions complicated. Thank goodness they had listened to him. Otherwise, they would have plunged headfirst straight into the pit.
They were glad to have someone like him at their side. On their own, the two of them would never have escaped this disaster.
They could now more or less understand why he had been so formidable at the Skyfall Meteor Assembly. His vigilance alone was far beyond anything they could match.
A different kind of brilliance bloomed in Feng Chi's eyes again.
Even Wu Jinliang basked in some of their admiration.
Wu Jinliang wondered how Chuntian had pulled it off, but outwardly, he gave a slight shrug and happily accepted the two women's admiration.
Meanwhile, Shi Chun, hiding behind his back, lowered his head and took out a Mother-Child Talisman to check it again. Yin Huixin had sent a message: Bian Que had gone somewhere, and she did not know where.
Of course you don't know where he went, Shi Chun thought, then quickly sent a perfunctory reply: Understood.
He did not want to say more. Now that Bian Que was here, Elder Yin's usefulness could be set aside for the time being.
Nor did he have time to deal with Elder Yin now.
