Story 10 - The Spy Who Rocked Too Hard (28🎸)
It didn’t take long before I was thrown out of the cauldron and onto my feet. I directly brought out my guitar and sent out a sword Qi slash as soon as I saw the humanoid figure who I assud was the dumbass who captured . Wait… motherfucking Noxious Fangstrike?
He used a single finger to block my attack. Then he had the audacity to chuckle.
My Qi hadn’t even tickled him.
Fuck. At my realm, I couldn’t go up against him. While Foundation Establishnt cultivators were a long stroll away from Golden Core, the difference between Foundation Establishnt and Nascent Soul was like comparing the heavens and the earth. Cliche as that saying was, it fit this situation perfectly.
Which ant that if he wanted dead, I was fucked.
But he hadn’t tried to hurt yet. As long as this fucker could be civil, I could avoid using the space and possibly outing myself as a spy. Unless he already knew — fuck, was that why he was here?
He cleared his throat. “Junior… Linlin?”
“Yes… Senior?”
“There is no need to look at with so much hostility. I only brought you here so we could have a private conversation.”
Was this guy for real, or just giving enough rope to hang myself? “If you wanted to talk, you didn’t have to kidnap .” I clutched the neck of my guitar tighter.
His face turned bright red. “I heard from little Dread Lotus that you cured her.”
So he was just going to ignore what he did? That was how he wanted to handle things? Did this fucker even know what sha was? Not to ntion he brought his niece into this. While I’d only known her for a day, I could tell that she wasn’t the type of person who would betray her benefactor.
I narrowed my eyes at him. “I doubt that she said anything about .”
“You’re right. She just ntioned that she’d been cured and refused to say who did it. She can be so silly sotis. I an, you were the only one who was there and working to heal her… it’s not hard for to put two and two together.”
That was right! This fucker had seen .
But then why did he capture like that? Was it possible that he was just awkward as fuck, and too used to being near the top of the sect hierarchy, so he went about this the wrong way? That was… actually sothing I could sympathize with.
Being towards the top was so hard sotis. It was just too easy to grab soone from the younger generation and expect them to obey or beco my student. Like I did with the brat.
I just didn’t think it would happen to . Karma really was a force of nature in this world.
Just because I could sympathize with him, did not an I wouldn’t give him a hard ti. He deserved it after what he put through.
I couldn’t do much to this asshole, and he really didn’t seem like he was about to kill , so I threw my guitar back into my ring. I studied the alchemy room he brought to. There were hundreds of jade boxes stored on shelves, probably filled with the best ingredients. There were three pedestals in each corner where strange flas danced while waiting to be used. Three of them!
Apparently, Noxious was one lucky bastard.
I crossed my arms. “This isn’t a nice way to treat your niece’s friend and benefactor. If you hurt , she’ll never speak to you again.”
His brow furrowed in frustration. “I’m not going to harm you! How could I dare?”
I gestured to the massive cauldron that lood beside us like the elephant in the room.
