Chapter 1228: Chapter 1230 Striking It Rich_1

Bai Ruozhu frowned as she listened, feeling that she had indeed been too soft-hearted towards these people. Lieyang Gate had committed too many atrocities, not only plotting against the entire Yuye Sect for some martial arts techniques but also scheming against numerous smaller sects, committing all manner of heinous deeds such as murder, looting, and pillaging. Even if she killed them all, it would be considered serving justice for the heavens.

However, at this moment, let these people endure the torment in their minds; let them live in fear.

Those who resisted were killed one by one by Jianqi; he truly lived up to his dark guard origins, striking with extreme cruelty. Soon, other dark guards arrived, and Bai Ruozhu ordered her men to carry the treasure chest and leave before anyone else.

In truth, it would have been more convenient for her to put all the items into her Space, but with so many eyes watching, she couldn’t reveal her secret.

By then, Morning Breeze had brought Qin Guchun over. Qin Guchun was immobilized by an acupoint seal, but her eyes were glaring furiously at Bai Ruozhu.

"Who are you people? Aren’t you afraid of the Wulin Alliance finding out about this?" Qin Guchun said with a threatening exterior but inward apprehension.

Bai Ruozhu snorted with laughter, "You aren’t afraid of being caught for your misdeeds, so why should I be? Besides, I am simply meting out heavenly justice. Moreover, you’re willing to sacrifice even your own father’s life, so what do we have to fear?"

Qin Guchun’s face turned a few shades paler, "What nonsense are you spouting? My father was killed by the master of Lieyang Gate, and I’ve just avenged him. If I had another chance, I’d rather exchange my own life for his."

Bai Ruozhu suddenly burst into applause while laughing; she truly found it amusing. Qin Guchun was still pretending, no wonder she could get mixed up with scum like Weng An.

All of a sudden, Qin Guchun turned to look at Xiu Cuicui and her eyes widened, "You, you are Xiu Cuicui!"

Xiu Cuicui was startled; despite being masked and keeping quiet on the side, how had Qin Guchun recognized her?

Women’s intuition can often be terrifying, especially towards a romantic rival. Qin Guchun sneered, "So it’s you, the flirtatious woman. You eloped with Weng An and then plotted against him for his martial arts techniques halfway through, running off with a swordsman. Is it him?" She said, looking towards Jianqi. Although she couldn’t see his face, she felt that he was the most formidable one there.

Xiu Cuicui trembled with anger; what Qin Guchun had described must have been what Weng An told the sect.

Bai Ruozhu gave Xiu Cuicui a look, signaling her to stay calm, then turned to Qin Guchun and said, "It was you who poisoned Weng An. In his desperation to survive, he deceived Xiu Cuicui into transferring her Qi to him, keeping him alive. After the poison was cured, he considered sucking out all of Xiu Cuicui’s Qi. It’s no wonder you and Weng An ended up together; you both play hardball."

Qin Guchun suddenly burst into hysterical laughter, tears streaming down her face, "It’s because he didn’t die that I was severely punished by the sect. To protect me, my father had no choice but to leave the sect with his men. Otherwise, why would we live such a dangerous life?" She glared at Xiu Cuicui with fury, "It’s all because of you, you foolish woman! If you hadn’t saved that scum, how would I have ended up like this?"

This time Qin Guchun truly wanted to cry. Now that she couldn’t return to her sect, her father was dead, and the treasure was stolen, where could she go?

Bai Ruozhu shook her head helplessly; Qin Guchun was too selfish, never able to see her own wrongdoings, always shifting the blame onto others, and even now, she felt no guilt for her father’s death.

"Alright, enough crying. Falling into our hands doesn’t mean the end for you. Just honestly disclose where your father hid the treasure, and I might just spare your life," Bai Ruozhu said impatiently, waving her hand as if to shoo away an annoying fly.

"Hmph, if you really want those things, it’s not impossible. Just help me scar Xiu Cuicui’s face, and I’ll consider telling you," Qin Guchun said, his gaze towards Xiu Cuicui filled with resentment.

Xiu Cuicui instinctively took a step back, not understanding why Qin Guchun hated her so much. Shouldn’t he be hating Weng An, that scumbag?

"I am the executioner, and you are the fish on the chopping block. Do you think you have the right to negotiate terms with me?" Bai Ruozhu said with a despicable laugh, finding Qin Guchun selfish to the extreme yet not very bright.

Qin Guchun maintained an arrogant demeanor, "Then kill me if you will. In the end, you’ll get nothing, and perhaps the adopted son my father took in from who knows where will profit from this."

Bai Ruozhu was too lazy to waste any more words with her, suddenly rushing forward and pinching her chin before tossing a pill into her mouth. The pill rolled straight into Qin Guchun’s belly. She started retching in horror, trying to vomit the pill out, but all in vain.

"What did you give me?" Qin Guchun asked in terror.

Bai Ruozhu smiled, "That’s why you’re not in a position to negotiate with me."

Before Qin Guchun could decide whether to relent or not, her consciousness began to fade, and her eyes slowly lost focus.

Soon, Qin Guchun had confessed everything she needed to, at least all the treasure locations she knew of. Bai Ruozhu looked at Xiu Cuicui and said, "She’s of no use now. Finish her off."

Xiu Cuicui was taken aback. Just a moment ago, she had even thought of suffering in front of Qin Guchun, to gain more benefits for her master. Yet unexpectedly, her master would not hurt her at all and had directly handed Qin Guchun over for her to dispose of. Thinking of this, Xiu Cuicui’s eyes welled up with tears, and she said with a choking voice, "Yes, I will not disappoint Master."

Bai Ruozhu nodded and walked away. Despite her decisive actions, as a modern soul, she still had some aversion to killing and chose to stay far away.

Xiu Cuicui, facing Qin Guchun who was like a soulless body, gritted her teeth, slit her throat with a knife, and then, without a second glance at Qin Guchun, hurriedly followed the already distant Bai Ruozhu.

Once in a safe place, Bai Ruozhu checked the contents of the box. There was some gold, some Jewelry, and a few manuals. Since she didn’t understand the manuals, she asked Jianqi to take a look while she herself merrily examined the Jewelry. After looking through them, she picked out a piece and gave it to Xiu Cuicui.

"This necklace suits you," she said with a beaming smile.

Xiu Cuicui’s eyes reddened again, and she quickly stepped back, "Master, I cannot accept it. I haven’t earned my keep; I have yet to repay the great favor I owe you, so how can I take Master’s reward?"

Bai Ruozhu stuffed it into her arms, "If I’m your master and I bestow it upon you, you should keep it. Otherwise, it’s like you’re refusing to give me face."

Xiu Cuicui had no choice but to accept the necklace, but holding it in her hands was like holding a hot potato.

Meanwhile, Jianqi, who was examining the techniques, suddenly looked serious, "Master, this book appears to be the main reason why the Lieyang Sect plotted against the Yuye Sect. Take a look."
