Chapter 977 - The Alliance Master’s Teachings (22)

Steamed Bun thought that something happened to Ming Shu. When he saw them returning, he immediately hurried them into the horse carriage and got them to change their clothes.

The rain came without any warning.

Rong Li lowered his head as he changed his clothes. Ming Shu wore her wet clothes and ate a fruit at the side of the carriage.

“Alliance Master… are you not going to change?” Rong Li took his clothes and looked at her with a puzzled expression.

They slept together but besides kissing, they didn’t do anything else.

“You can change first.”

“Oh…” I am going to take my clothes off in front of my wife. So nervous.

Should I pretend to fall on her when I’m changing?

That way, I can…

“Why are you smiling? Did the rain make you sick?”

Rong Li touched his face instinctively. Did he smile? He didn’t…

He glanced at Ming Shu’s expression. He puffed up his cheeks and said, “Alliance Master, why are you teasing me?”

“Fine, I will go and tease the sect leader then.” Ming Shu lifted the curtain and made to get down the carriage.

Rong Li pounced on her. “Don’t go.”

Ming Shu grabbed her head which had slammed against the door. “Get off me.”

“… Are you going to leave me?” F**k, there are always pretty boys trying to steal my wife. Unforgivable.

“No. Why are you so irritating. Hurry up and change.”

Rong Li finished changing his clothes and turned to look at Ming Shu. Ming Shu changed quickly so he didn’t see anything.

Rong Li pondered it and concluded that she was not angry.

But…

She didn’t seem interested in this issue.

She didn’t ask him more than five questions.

It was a good thing that she didn’t care.

If she did, she would probably be really angry at him now.

…

They reached Luo City a few days later and sent the sect leader to his destination.

The sect leader pulled Ming Shu aside when he was about to leave. “There is something amiss. Be careful of the people around you.”

“The imperial court is watching our fight. You should be the one that has to be more careful.” Ming Shu patted his shoulder. “With greater power comes greater responsibility. It must be hard for you.”

“You know about it?” The sect leader was surprised.

“I am the alliance master.” Ming Shu flicked her fringe prettily. “Is it weird that I know?”

“Since you knew, why didn’t you tell the other people of the pugilist world?”

“I just knew about it,” Ming Shu said. “Also, why must I tell them? I am not close with them.”

The sect leader: “…”

You are the alliance master!

“How did you find out?”

“You were curious about my injury, right?” The sect leader’s expression was bad. “I met my senior brother. He is working for the imperial court now. He was the one that killed everyone and framed the Demonic Sect…”

The sect leader continued, “Since you are part of the pugilist world, you will definitely be implicated. You should plan ahead. Thanks for you help this time. If I have a chance, I will repay you in the future.”

“If you want to repay me, just go and beat Jiang Ling up.”

The sect leader’s mouth corners twitched. “What grudges do you have against Jiang Ling?”

“None.”

“Why do you want to beat her then?”

“I like to beat her. What is wrong with that?”

“…” Are you crazy?

Ming Shu and the sect leader parted. Right after they left, Jiang Ling and Lord Zhuo came out from the shadows.

Before they could speak, someone appeared again. They quickly hid themselves.

“Ask the other people to hide themselves. Wait for my news.” The sect leader walked out as he gave his order to the people beside him.

“Yes, Sect Leader.”

They walked in the opposite direction of Ming Shu. Once everyone left, Jiang Ling and Lord Zhuo came out again.

“Qing Luo is colluding with the Demonic Sect…” Jiang Ling looked as though she didn’t believe what was happening.

“Hmph, no wonder she didn’t participate when we attacked the Demonic Sect.” Lord Zhuo held Jiang Ling’s shoulder and said, “Ah Ling, don’t worry. I will kill this scum and take revenge for you.”

“Brother Zhuo…” Jiang Ling was touched.

“A-Ling…”

The two of them looked at each other with love.

…

The news of the alliance master colluding with the Demonic Sect spread throughout the pugilist world quickly.

The rumors seemed true. It was as though someone saw Ming Shu and the Demonic Sect together.

The rumors got worse and they were spreading quickly.

The disciples of the Demonic Sect were all in hiding so people from the pugilist world couldn’t find them. They could only look for Ming Shu.

Ming Shu had already returned to the Alliance Master Mansion. These people decided to come to the Alliance Master Mansion to find her.

“No wonder this little girl was acting all weird. She was on the same side as the Demonic Sect.”

“How can she collude with the Demonic Sect? She embarrassed the entire pugilist world.”

“It is just a rumor…” The clan leader of the Flying Tiger Clan tried to explain weakly. He felt that the young girl was not someone that would cooperate with others.

She seemed to be polite with everyone and smiled at everyone. However, he felt that she looked down on all of them.

She was not arrogant… of course, she was a little proud, but that was not the point. The point was, she was nonchalant about everything. She didn’t care about the divine sword or the Demonic Sect…

She was not interested in all these things.

The Flying Tiger Clan felt that she only cared when they got attacked.

“What do you mean? Why are you speaking up for this scum? People saw it with their own eyes. How can she be innocent?”

“If she didn’t team up with the Demonic Sect, why didn’t she help when we attacked them?”

The Flying Tiger Clan’s leader didn’t know how to answer them.

The main crowd reached the Alliance Master Mansion very soon.

“Qing Luo, come out!”

The door of the Alliance Master Mansion was shut tight. No one expected it to open. However, contrary to their belief, the red door slowly opened after they shouted once.

The disciples of the Alliance Master Mansion ran out with a table and a chair. They quickly placed them in front of the door.

Ming Shu walked out calmly. She lifted her clothes and sat on the chair. Then, she crossed her legs.

Ming Shu felt that she was staring at a pile of snacks coupons. Her eyes glowed and her smile got brighter.

“Why are you all looking for me? Did you miss me so much?”

“Qing Luo, you colluded with the Demonic Sect. Turn yourself in now!”

“Since you said that I am colluding with the Demonic Sect, why must I turn myself in willingly? Am I an idiot?” Ming Shu swung her legs. “So what if I did team up with the Demonic Sect? What can you do to me?”

Ming Shu decided to take the blame again.

As long as she could gain Hatred Points, she was willing to be framed.

“Did you hear what she said. She admitted that she colluded with the Demonic Sect!”

Those people that didn’t believe the rumors had nothing to say now.

After all, she admitted it herself.

“Where did you hide the people from the Demonic Sect?”

The clan leader of the Flying Tiger Clan stood among the crowd with a complicated expression.

An amiable middle-aged man raised his hand and signaled everyone to keep quiet.

He walked up and persuaded Ming Shu. “Qing Luo, you still have a chance to atone for your crimes. The people from the Demonic Sect are bad. Don’t continue making mistakes anymore. We believe that you were fooled by them. You can still turn back now.”

Ming Shu smiled and replied, “I wasn’t. I just wanted to cover up for them.”

The middle-aged man: “…”
