Chapter 397: Chapter 75 Mad Woman_2

Last time something happened in the Taoist School... Bai Lu stepped in to help me out, I still remember that.

Bai Chen rescued me overnight.

Not just because of the teacher... but also because of the Grand Judge.

All in all, it was a favor.

"Alright... Iron Eater Shen Li, it seems you still don’t understand,"

Bai Lu sighed and said with a smile, "If you’re being polite to me just because you were saved last time, then there’s really no need... Because saving you was my brother’s and teacher’s idea, it has nothing to do with me. I actually hope to see you locked up in the committee’s prison for a few more days, you should know that because of your presence, Gu Shen got rid of many troubles out of thin air."

Shen Li’s face turned ashen in an instant.

This crazy woman...

Was she looking for a fight!

He never indulged such people!

Fight if we must, who’s afraid!

With a "swoosh" sound, Shen Li grabbed the large iron gate, ready to make a move.

But Bai Lu’s smile grew wider as she watched the scene with interest, silently flipping her wrist, ready to unleash "Thorny Dreams" at any moment.

The next moment.

An iron hand landed on Shen Li’s shoulder.

The iron hand buzzed!

The Iron Eater could dissolve all things made of iron, yet Shen Li discovered in surprise that a tremendous force was holding him down, rendering him incapable of moving even an inch forward... The iron hand had withstood the digesting power of the Iron Eater!

"Why the sudden need to fight when the two of you were having such a good conversation?"

Luo Yu still had a smile on his face, playing the peacemaker.

"This is the Gu Family’s Villa District... harmony is preferable."

At the same time, he transmitted his thoughts to Shen Li, "Are you an idiot... Can’t you see she’s deliberately provoking you, do you really want to fight with this lunatic?"

Veins bulged on Shen Li’s forehead.

He ignored Luo Yu and coldly said, "It’s just a fight... if we must fight, what need is there for so much consideration?"

With that statement.

He had exposed the matter of Luo Yu transmitting thoughts.

Bai Lu smiled and said, "Brother Luo, if you want to act as a peacemaker on behalf of the Gu family, you should be fair... you can’t secretly speak ill of people behind their backs. Besides, if other people can fight in the Gu Family’s Villa District, why can’t I?"

Luo Yu cursed Shen Li as an idiot in his mind.

He sighed deeply, "Of course, you can fight, but if a real fight breaks out, and the Federation Security Committee has to come again... wouldn’t that be somewhat inappropriate?"

This was a very clear reminder.

The Federation Security Committee!

Only then did Shen Li realize that something was not quite right... He silently retracted his hand, carelessly tossed aside the iron gate, and then coldly stared at the witch from the Bai Family, roughly understanding the causes and consequences.

This woman, purely did not want to see Gu Shen have an easy time!

In the past few days, those who came to the Spring Rain Temple seeking battle had all been defeated by him.

If he were sent into the hands of the "Federation Security Committee" again.

Then Gu Shen would have a headache for a good while...

Actually, Shen Li also knew, a real fight would not be advantageous to him.

But... why was there such a strong emotional urge just now, making him want to fight it out with this person?

Thinking this far, Shen Li suddenly felt a bit scared.

The act of pulling out the iron gate to start a fight, it seemed, had not gone through any thought... had this woman applied some "psychological suggestion" to him?

Bai Lu still had a smile on her face, with one hand behind her back, and asked, "Little Iron Man, are you really not going to fight? Sister can let you have one hand."

Before Shen Li could react.

With a "swoosh" sound!

Bai Lu’s face turned pale in an instant.

A strand of snow-white light flashed before her!

A wooden sword flew out from the nearby Fenglai Temple, breaking through the air in an instant, like thunder, and then swiftly returned.

The speed was so fast.

Shen Li did not see it clearly at all!

Even Luo Yu... only saw a shadow!

"This is..."

Fatty Luo suddenly realized that next door lived a young lady named Lu Nanjin, who was quietly cultivating.

Bai Lu’s expression turned ugly.

As a Spiritual Transcendent, she was very sensitive to any anomalies around her.

A lock of hair floated down from the air.

That sword had come infinitely close to her face just a moment ago, and yet before any of her defenses could be deployed, the blade had swept past... cutting a strand of her hair!

This was a warning.

A naked warning.

Gu Nanfeng was not here... but there was indeed Lu Nanjin. Bai Lu had previously only vaguely heard this name and hadn’t taken it too seriously.

The sister of Mrs. Lu from the Huazhi lineage.

A background indeed formidable.

But that was the affair of Da Du District...How did it concern her?

"You dare to lay a hand on me?"

Bai Lu gritted her teeth and looked toward Fenglai Temple as she coldly asked.

The only response she received was the wooden sword, once again suspended high in the air.

It was just a simple, unadorned wooden sword... it wasn’t a sealed object, and it didn’t seem to have any accumulation of Extraordinary Aura.

But what was frightening was this.

It just hung there, yet it gave off an overwhelming sense of oppression.

"Why wouldn’t I dare?"

A woman’s calm response came from inside Fenglai Temple.

"My surname is Bai!" Bai Lu said in a heavy voice.

"So what?"

It was as if Lu Nanjin had heard a very amusing joke.

"Your surname is Bai, what does that have to do with me?"

With that question.

Bai Lu was, in turn, at a loss for words.

She suddenly realized... from Lu Nanjin’s perspective, the background of her Bai Family didn’t hold any particular value.

"Make another sound to disturb my cultivation, and the next strike won’t be as simple as cutting hair!"

The wooden sword spun once in the air.

The sound of the wind whistled.

It slowly dissipated.

The aura within Fenglai Temple once again cascaded down and gradually drew back.

Bai Lu was not someone who would suffer in silence just to save face... more often than not, she just wanted to "stir up trouble," confined to troubling others. If the situation was unfavorable, she would immediately cease her actions.

She knew when to be flexible.

Such a person... was the most troublesome of all.

After seeing that wooden sword unsheathed, and weighing the situation internally, Bai Lu indeed chose to smartly shut her mouth.

Meanwhile, Shen Li watched the wooden sword flying through the air, slipping into a brief daze.

In his mind, he continuously recalled that one stroke...

Too fast.

Too stunning.

He hadn’t been able to see the specific trajectory at all, only remembering a fleeting arc of light.

Fighting on behalf of Gu Shen these past few days, he had only known that a redhead woman resided in Fenglai Temple, but he had no idea that her Sword Skill was so exquisite.

Martial frenzy by nature, his hands itched unbearably.

But Shen Li knew very well that with his current strength, were he to actually challenge her, he’d probably be knocked down by that woman in two or three moves!

The most important thing was.

That woman was actually able to make Bai Lu "back down in the face of difficulty"!

Shen Li had a straightforward nature, but he was not foolish... Bai Lu was known in Changye as a crazy woman who acted without following rules, was unyielding even when in the right, and was wildly aggressive, yet such a person actually cowered under that wooden sword!

If the person wielding the wooden sword today had been Gu Nanfeng.

Bai Lu wouldn’t have much to fear.

Because the Gu family was deeply rooted in Changye and had centuries of good relations with the Bai Family.

If the Gu Family Young Master threatened her over an outsider... if the situation blew up, it would be hard to settle, both old and new factions were watching Gu Nanfeng’s actions closely.

But it happened to be Lu Nanjin.

Rooted in Da Du.

And with a powerful background to boot.

The most important thing was... this woman seemed to be a "madwoman" as well, utterly heedless of conventions.

Provoking Shen Li today, it was her own fault, and if Lu Nanjin was intent on giving her a "lesson"... Bai Lu could only swallow her grievances silently, daring not to make a fuss.

Rather than swallowing her teeth after being knocked out.

She’d rather choose to be silent voluntarily.

"Splendid, splendid."

Outside the gates of the villa district, the sound of resounding, clear clapping emerged.

"To witness the Miss of the Bai Family at a disadvantage, this is indeed a rare sight to behold."

The Bai Family Witch was taken aback.

She had not realized at all... when had a person appeared behind her?

Wait... it was when the "wooden sword" was unsheathed!

All her spiritual power had been drawn towards that one strike!

Gu Shen, covered in dust, arrived at the gate, his clothes somewhat unkempt, his expression slightly weary, but the smile in his eyes was very distinct.

"I heard all that just now..."

Gu Shen ignored Bai Lu and came before Shen Li, his smile beaming, "Brother Shen... you mustn’t fall for this crazy woman’s trick. She’s not looking to fight; she clearly wants to get you thrown in jail. Truly devious."
