Chapter 306: The Sect Leader Wakes Up Grumpy Every Day (54)

Shen Mubai felt uncomfortable, but since they had already been sleeping together for a long time, it seemed a bit pretentious to resist now, so she obediently closed her eyes.

She initially thought that their interactions in the coming days would be very awkward, but to her surprise, she barely saw any trace of Jun Jiuling, Yun Niang, or the others.

Wu Er, however, stayed close to her, watching her more intently. When Shen Mubai asked him, he only vaguely replied that the master had some business to attend to.

Shen Mubai knew that something must have happened recently, but she didn’t expect that someone would go to great lengths to try and kill her. After this dangerous episode, Shen Mubai also realized just how many masters were lurking around her.

Jun Jiuling returned one night, carrying a cold, freshly bathed scent. He then skillfully slipped into her bed, wrapped a large arm around her, and hugged her tightly.

Still shaken by the assassination attempt, Shen Mubai initially wanted to scream but swallowed it back upon recognizing the familiar presence, “Master.”

Jun Jiuling seemed somewhat tired, his deep and husky voice carrying a hint of sensuality.

“Hmm?”

Seeing this, Shen Mubai didn’t dare move, merely asking, “Is everything alright, Master?”

This question was merely a polite concern.

Hearing this, Jun Jiuling couldn’t help but smile, holding her even tighter and inhaling her fragrance as he spoke in a deep voice, “It will be resolved soon.”

They left the inn at dusk as a group of assassins flooded in, fighting against the disciples of the Fire Lotus Sect.

They traveled by carriage, relentlessly pursued by those behind them, determined to fight to the death.

Their intended route was blocked, forcing them to take another path.

As night fell, their carriage was reduced to ruins amidst the clash of swords.

Shen Mubai was held tightly by Jun Jiuling, while Wu Er and others protected their master, their weapons glinting faintly under the moonlight.

A deep voice came from above, laced with pride and mockery: “Jun Jiuling, do you remember the disciples of the Fire Lotus Sect you expelled a hundred years ago?”

Unlike his demeanor in front of Shen Mubai, Jun Jiuling’s incredibly handsome face turned icy, his long, narrow eyes dark and unfathomable, and his powerful presence caused a chill in the hearts of those around him.

He stared straight ahead, a cold smile playing on his lips.

“I don’t remember.”

A figure appeared in the darkness, an old face with eyes like a hawk’s, giving off an uncomfortable feeling. Behind him were people dressed like those chasing them.

“How does it feel to be hunted by the righteous sects and the authorities?” the man sneered.

“You were lucky last time. If I capture you alive and cripple your skills before handing you over to the authorities, how do you think those righteous sects will thank me for eliminating such a demon?”

You Yi spat, “Shameless! Do you think you can defeat our master? Know your place.”

The man’s eyes turned cold.

“It’s just a dog; you dare to bark in front of me.”

As he finished speaking, a hidden weapon from the man beside him flew towards You Yi, who quickly blocked it with his knife and retaliated in the same way.
