Chapter 104 - 104 104 Slander and Belief

104: Chapter 104: Slander and Belief 104: Chapter 104: Slander and Belief Fei Hou summoned his Galaxy Martial Soul, waving his hands once, and saw the Galaxy Martial Soul continuously revolving midair.

The attacks of the fierce bandits rushing over all hit it and were met with a “clang”, ricocheting back.

Their broadswords and longswords were shaken and thrown into the air, falling to the ground.

Some unlucky fierce bandits failed to dodge in time and were struck in the toes by the flying broadswords and longswords.

“My foot!”

Within the screams of agony, these fierce bandits held their feet and hopped like kangaroos.

All the fierce bandits panicked and retreated.

Seeing this, Fei Hou sneered, continuously waving his hands, making the Galaxy Martial Soul materialize and strike around, with constant screams erupting.

Wherever the Galaxy Martial Soul passed, all the fierce bandits were sent flying, some even wrapped and thrown high into the sky.

Having broken through to Innate, the power of Fei Hou’s Galaxy Martial Soul was more than doubled.

How could these sixth rank, seventh rank fierce bandits withstand Fei Hou’s Galaxy Martial Soul attacks?

Instantly, fierce bandits were sent flying everywhere.

Before long, only the one-armed leader of the bandits stood there, stunned.

Fei Hou withdrew the Galaxy Martial Soul back into his body and slowly approached the one-armed bandit leader.

“You, you, don’t kill me!” The one-armed bandit leader was panic-stricken.

“Who sent you?” Fei Hou asked coldly.

The bandit leader’s gaze darted frantically.

“Just stop the act, you two!” Just at that moment, suddenly, Liu Mu, who was standing by Chen Li, spoke up.

Everyone was taken aback.

Liu Mu slowly stepped forward and looked at Fei Hou and Huang Xiaolong, “We’ve been traveling for nearly half a month without any issues, and yet, we just happen to encounter this group of fierce bandits not long after meeting the two of you.

What does that imply?”

Fei Hou’s eyes flashed with a chilly glint, but Huang Xiaolong gestured with his hand, stopping Fei Hou, instead, he looked at Liu Mu with interest, “Go on.”

Liu Mu sneered, “This group of fierce bandits were clearly brought here by you!”

“Oh, brought by us?” Huang Xiaolong asked indifferently, “And your reason?”

“Reason?” Liu Mu spoke harshly, “You two know it best in your hearts.” With that, he turned and stared intently at the one-armed bandit leader, “Tell us, was it they who instructed you to come and kidnap our young lady?”

The one-armed bandit leader hemmed and hawed.

“Tell us, was it?” Liu Mu looked at the bandit leader, a subtle cold glint flashing in his eyes.

The bandit leader, seeing this, nodded frantically, “Yes, yes, yes, it was they who instructed us to come and kidnap your young lady!”

Liu Mu turned back to Chen Li and said, “Miss, you’ve heard it yourself, it was these two who instructed this group of fierce bandits to kidnap you.

I’ve said it before, these two are of dubious origins, with malicious intentions!”

Chen Li shook her head, “Housekeeper Liu, there must be some misunderstanding here.

Senior Fei Hou has saved me before, he is my lifesaver, he couldn’t possibly do this.

Moreover, with Senior Fei Hou’s strength, there’s no need for him to instruct others to kidnap me.”

Liu Mu continued, “Miss, we must be cautious of others.

When he saved you back then, maybe it was premeditated.

And now, seven years have passed; isn’t it too coincidental that we just happen to encounter the same place where the miss was saved years ago?

And the bandit leader has already admitted it.”

Chen Li shook her head; she still couldn’t believe Fei Hou would do such a thing because there simply was no need.

If Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou were the masterminds, then they could have kidnapped her directly by now.

Why go through all this trouble?

At that moment, Huang Xiaolong started clapping his hands.

Everyone couldn’t help but look over.

Huang Xiaolong looked at Liu Mu, “I must say, your performance is better than I expected.”

Liu Mu’s face turned cold, “What do you mean?”

“What do I mean?” Huang Xiaolong said indifferently, “It’s actually you who brought this group of fierce bandits, right?”

Everyone was stunned.

Liu Mu’s face swelled red with anger and frustration, “You’re slandering me, it’s simply slander!

I have served the young lady for over a decade with unwavering loyalty.

You’re just resentful because I exposed you as the mastermind behind this plot, and now you’re slandering me in retaliation!” He then said to Chen Li, “Miss, don’t believe him!”

Chen Li shook her head at Huang Xiaolong, “Young Master Huang, ever since I was young, Uncle Liu has been by my side.

Over these past ten years, he has protected me and been utterly loyal; it couldn’t possibly be Uncle Liu.”

She was even more convinced that it couldn’t be Liu Mu.

Liu Mu looked coldly at Huang Xiaolong, “Do you really think that our young lady would believe you, a stranger, spouting nonsense on mere hearsay?”

Huang Xiaolong looked at Chen Li, “Do you truly believe him?”

Chen Li nodded, “I might doubt others, but I absolutely believe in Liu Mu.” Though Chen Li did not spell it out, her tone conveyed clear dissatisfaction toward Huang Xiaolong.

Clearly, she too suspected that Huang Xiaolong had falsely accused Liu Mu out of anger because Liu Mu had identified him and Fei Hou as the masterminds.

Liu Mu had watched her grow up since she was small, and they shared a deep bond.

Huang Xiaolong’s slander against Liu Mu made her uncomfortable.

Huang Xiaolong turned to Fei Hou, “Let’s go.”

Since Chen Li had said so, there was no need to continue the conversation.

“Yes, Young Master!” Fei Hou replied respectfully.

Chen Li was taken aback, then hurriedly explained to Fei Hou, “Senior Fei Hou, that’s not what I meant.”

Fei Hou shook his head without uttering a word, and then followed Huang Xiaolong away.

However, before Huang Xiaolong left, he suddenly struck the fierce bandits’ leader in the chest with a palm.

With a bloodcurdling scream, the bandit leader was sent flying, crashing through numerous trees before hitting the ground, lifeless.

Everyone around Chen Li was startled.

Under the stunned gazes of Chen Li and the others, Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou rode away on their horses.

Watching the backs of Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou as they departed, Liu Mu, after his initial shock, visibly sighed with relief.

His gaze swept over the lifeless body of the bandit leader and the groaning thieves lying around on the ground, his brows furrowing slightly before relaxing.

A bunch of useless fools!

“Miss, shall we leave as well?” Liu Mu asked Chen Li.

Chen Li nodded.

Thus, not long after Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou had left, Chen Li, Liu Mu, and the rest also departed the forest.

“It’s clear that Liu Mu is colluding with those bandits,” Fei Hou said after they left.

“It’s a shame Miss Chen trusts Liu Mu too much.” Sighing, he shook his head.

Huang Xiaolong nodded.

On the road, Huang Xiaolong and Fei Hou didn’t rush their journey and proceeded at a leisurely pace on horseback.

Meanwhile, one day after Chen Li and the others had left, they were passing through a mountain trail when a group of black-clad individuals suddenly burst out of the dense forest lining the path.

These individuals, dressed exactly like the bandits from the night before, were clearly members of the same group.

Chen Li’s heart pounded with fear as she saw the black-clad attackers encircling them.

After trapping Chen Li and her group, the black-clad people wasted no time in attacking.

They slaughtered with their knives, and within moments, they had killed all dozen of Chen Li’s guards.

However, to Chen Li’s shock, the bandits seemed to show mercy towards Liu Mu, as none of them attacked him.

While Chen Li was still in shock, a bandit stepped forward, bowed respectfully to Liu Mu, and said, “Housekeeper Liu.”

Liu Mu nodded slightly.

Chen Li’s eyes widened in disbelief.

(My eyes are uncomfortable, so I’m going to rest for today.

I’ll update as usual tomorrow.)
