Chapter 45: Why Choose? I Want Them All!
"So you're Han Lie?" After giving Han Lie a simple once-over, Su i's eyes shifted slightly.
That ethereal, pleasing, yet undeniably seductive and charming voice made Han Lie shiver all over!
She-devil! Han Lie cursed inwardly before responding, "Yes."
Su i giggled. "Maybe you don't know , but that's okay. I can introduce myself."
"My na is Su i, captain of the White Tiger Squad in the Law Enforcent Hall."
"Do you know why I'm here today?"
Han Lie pretended to be clueless and shook his head.
"Hehe, playing dumb in front of is useless," Su i said. "About a month ago, you killed Zhu Fan from the Azure Dragon Squad, right? That's why I'm here."
"A Servant Disciple killing an Inner Disciple, and a Law Enforcent Hall disciple at that, is no small matter."
"If we don't deal with this seriously, won't you Servant Disciples run wild in the future?"
Facing Su i's accusation, Han Lie took a deep breath and countered, "Captain Su, you accuse This Senior of killing a Law Enforcent Hall disciple. Then please forgive This Senior's boldness in asking: do you have conclusive evidence?"
"Or did anyone witness this event firsthand?"
Su i smiled playfully, then leaned in, her long fingernail tracing Han Lie's cheek. "Oh my, listening to you talk, it sounds like I've wronged you?"
"But it's okay. For Servant Disciples, we don't need evidence."
"......"
Han Lie was speechless, left with nothing to say.
Then, Su i waved her jade-like hand lightly and commanded, "Take this old Servant Disciple back to the interrogation room at the office. I want to interrogate him properly and see if his mouth is really that tough."
"Yes, Senior Sister Su!"
Han Lie thought for a mont and ultimately chose not to resist. He knew that with his mid-Foundation Establishnt cultivation, he had no ability to resist against Su i and her group. Rather than making a futile struggle, it was better to save his energy.
Most importantly, as long as Zhuo Hongyi could co and get him out... then going with Su i to the White Tiger Squad office would definitely be much safer than staying in his own little hut.
And so, Han Lie was escorted back to the White Tiger Squad office by Su i's people.
On the way back, Su i deliberately avoided the people from the Vermilion Bird Squad office. Su i knew very well that if her Senior Sister Zhuo Hongyi found out she had captured Han Lie... Zhuo Hongyi would probably rush straight to the White Tiger Squad office to get him out imdiately.
...
White Tiger Squad office, interrogation room.
Han Lie sat on a chair, his hands and feet bound by ropes fastened to the chair. While not very useful, it at least served a decorative purpose.
"Sitting here now... anything you want to say?" Su i paced back and forth around Han Lie as she spoke.
"Yes."
"Hmm~ Are you going to admit you killed Zhu Fan from the Azure Dragon Squad?"
"I request to see Captain Zhuo Hongyi of the Vermilion Bird Squad."
Upon hearing this, Su i imdiately turned to face Han Lie. She lifted his chin with her long fingernail and said playfully, "Wanting Senior Sister Zhuo to co save you? Wishful thinking."
"Look at . Listen." Su i gently exhaled a breath. Han Lie instinctively looked into her heart-shaped purple eyes.
Imdiately after, a faint pink glow shimred within Su i's beautiful eyes. The mont the pink light flashed, Han Lie's consciousness fell into a montary daze, as if floating among clouds, half-dreaming.
The next instant.
A scorching Pure Yang energy instantly flowed through Han Lie's entire body. Han Lie's body jolted violently as he snapped back to awareness from his daze.
Su i, who had just used her charm technique, hadn't noticed yet. Proceeding as planned, she questioned Han Lie, "Tell , what is your relationship with Senior Sister Zhuo Hongyi?"
"Father-daughter relationship."
"Father-daughter... wait, father-daughter?!"
Su i was slightly stunned for a mont before instantly reacting. She saw Han Lie looking at her with a playful expression, seemingly mocking her clumsy charm technique.
"How could...?" Su i's pupils widened in disbelief.
With her cultivation level, how could she fail to charm a re Han Lie?
But to cover her embarrassnt, she could only avoid ntioning it and instead said, "Hmph hmph, even if you don't say it, I still know."
"You and Senior Sister Zhuo are in a Dual Cultivation relationship, right?"
Hearing this, Han Lie knew Su i was guessing—though she was correct. So, Han Lie remained silent and did not react at all to Su i's statent.
"Don't want to admit it? That's okay too." The corners of Su i's vermilion lips lifted. "Tomorrow I'll spread far and wide about your affair with Senior Sister Zhuo. Guess what all those senior brothers and sisters who secretly admire Senior Sister Zhuo will think?"
"Even if I don't kill you myself... I bet you'd have a hard ti surviving until the next day. Hmph hmph."
"No..." Han Lie's face darkened—this woman is so wicked!
"Captain Su... what exactly do you want from This Senior?" Han Lie had no choice but to compromise.
If his affair with Zhuo Hongyi were truly widely publicized by Su i... he probably wouldn't even know how he died!
"Admitting it now?" Su i said triumphantly.
"Yes. This Senior admits it is indeed as you said." Han Lie could only nod in admission.
"Wouldn't it have been better if you'd done this earlier?" Su i's jade-like hand stroked Han Lie's face. "Originally... according to sect rules... Servant Disciples who kill Inner Disciples are all to be thrown into the Self-Cultivation Self-Immolation Tower."
"But I can give you a chance to live. Just promise that from now on you'll cut off all contact with Senior Sister Zhuo... and engage in Dual Cultivation with instead... then I'll let you off."
"How about it? Hehe... this way... you're not losing out either."
Su i might not have realized it herself yet. Not only had her charm technique failed to charm Han Lie... she herself had actually been chard by Han Lie's Pure Yang Sacred Body.
Earlier in the day when Saintess Bai Ling ca to tell her about it... she had indeed planned to capture Han Lie back for execution. But upon seeing Han Lie for the first ti... she imdiately abandoned that idea.
"......"
Su i's words were unexpected for Han Lie... yet also made sense given the circumstances.
Well then... even when facing the fox-girl adept at charm techniques—Su i—the Pure Yang Sacred Body was still exerting its power!
After pondering for a mont... Han Lie did not imdiately agree to Su i's demand but instead asked in return, "Captain Su... do you have so grudge against Captain Zhuo?"
In Han Lie's view... why should he choose between Zhuo Hongyi and Su i?
Can't I have them both?
