I was reborn after cheating on the aloof and powerful man.

Chapter 78 Teaching Him to Kill

Three deadly streams of internal energy shot towards the firelight along the jade finger. With three clanging sounds, a figure flashed in front of Fei Xi and the other two, blocking all three streams of internal energy with a sword.

"Miss Fei, what happened?" Startled awake, Liu Nanli struggled to get up from Fei Xi's body.

"Senior Sister, who is she?"

She recognized the peak master Mu Qingfeng in front of her, but why would that cute girl who looked even younger than her kill them?

Fei Xi did not answer their questions. While helping her frightened junior sister up, she stared intently at Bian Yuan, who was blocking her way.

"Hmm? You are... Xiao Ba?"

The attack was stopped by Bian Yuan. Just as Ling Mianqing was about to say something, she unexpectedly heard a pleasant and familiar voice.

Looking in the direction of the sound, she noticed that among the two women and one man in the illicit relationship, the man with his eyes covered by a white cloth looked somewhat familiar.

Upon reflection, she remembered that not long ago, she had also kidnapped a man because of his pleasant voice and the fact that she had never been with a man of this type before—a handsome and shy one—intending to train him to be her little buddy.

Who knew this man was all looks and no substance? No matter what she did, he didn't react to her at all, which made her so angry that she threw him into the dungeon.

Is this person running away? Interesting!

Ling Mianqing ignored the stunningly beautiful girl who annoyed her at first sight and suddenly reached out to grab Liu Nanli, who was hiding behind Bian Yuan.

As soon as she moved, a sharp sword aura, like a dragon emerging from the sea, attacked her direction, accompanied by a strong and arrogant statement:

"You are not allowed to touch the person behind me!"

Ling Mianqing dodged the sword energy in a sorry state, but the sword was as swift as the wind. She avoided a fatal wound, but her right arm was slashed by the sword energy.

A domineering sword aura rapidly spread through the wound, corroding the flesh. Liu Mianqing clutched her wound, her expression changing drastically. Bian Yuan had truly intended to kill her. Did he really disregard the whereabouts of the Tianshan people for the sake of the beautiful girl behind him?

Ling Mianqing harbored resentment in her heart, but feigned composure on her face and chuckled lightly:

"Bian Yuan, these three little mice are my pets. If you like them, just say so. Why are you afraid I won't give them to you? But that boy behind you is my darling. You wouldn't suddenly change your taste and try to steal my love, would you?"

"Grandma..." Upon hearing Ling Mianqing's words, Liu Nanli unconsciously clenched her hands, her tense body trembling slightly with fear.

"She's that grandma?" Mu Qingfeng could hardly believe her ears. She had always thought that the grandma the group of sisters in the bamboo forest were talking about was an old woman. How could it be this innocent and cheerful little girl in front of her?

Ling Mianqing was amused by Liu Nanli's terrified expression, and seeing Bian Yuan's cold face, she laughed even harder.

"Ha, Bian Yuan, you scared my little darling. Listen, he's calling me. I wasn't lying to you."

Bian Yuan remained expressionless, his face cold and silent. He was completely unaffected by Ling Mianqing's words, and his posture of blocking the three people remained unchanged.

The footsteps were light, but Bian Yuan noticed the person behind him as soon as they moved. A familiar medicinal scent approached him, and the soft voice spoke with the same impolite tone as before:

"Sect Leader Ling, when did my Qingcheng Sect members become your people? My junior brother didn't marry into your Xiaoyao Sect. Even if Sect Leader Ling has taken a liking to my junior brother, you can't force yourself on him. Besides, my junior brother is a young man, while you, senior, are already quite old. Do you really want to take advantage of a young woman? Aren't you ashamed?"

After Fei Xi finished speaking, she even scratched her cheek with her finger, which, as expected, made the old woman opposite her furious. She could no longer maintain the calm smile she had before.

"Little girl, are you tired of living!"

Although they didn't know why Bian Yuan would save the three of them, the moment Ling Mianqing made her move, the man beside her, just as she had expected, drew his sword and blocked the attack.

Just then, while everyone's attention was focused on their fight, Fei Xi, risking injury from the impact of internal energy, secretly sprinkled the medicinal powder in her hand into the air.

*Pfft!* Fei Xi coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed instantly, her life hanging in the balance, as the shockwaves from the two streams of internal energy struck her.

The sound of blood spitting out reached Bian Yuan's ears, causing him to frown involuntarily. His attention was momentarily diverted, and he was struck squarely by the powerful Plum Blossom Palm.

Ling Mianqing was also surprised that her move could hit her opponent. She was overjoyed and was ready to press her advantage.

Suddenly, she felt her legs go weak, and then her body collapsed limply to the ground as if her soul had been ripped away.

What happened?

Ling Mianqing opened her eyes wide in horror, looking completely bewildered.

"Senior Sister?!"

Ignoring the ongoing fight, Mu Qingfeng rushed to Fei Xi's side in a panic.

Upon seeing that her senior sister was in trouble, she was immediately thrown into a state of panic, and the worry in her eyes almost overflowed and fell to the ground.

"Xiao Feng, feed me the pill from the green brocade pouch."

The eldest sister in her arms slowly woke up, her voice barely audible, which made Mu Qingfeng exclaim "Ah!" She hurriedly and hastily fed her the medicine as requested.

Seeing that her senior sister was still alive, Mu Qingfeng wiped away her tears. When she looked up, she realized that something was wrong.

It was so quiet... Everyone except her was lying on the ground for some reason.

……

With the help of her junior sister, Fei Xi struggled to get up from the ground. After standing up, she couldn't help but spit out another mouthful of blood.

She suppressed the discomfort in her chest, and the first thing she did after getting up was not to check on Bian Yuan's condition, but to quickly walk to Liu Nanli's side and feed him the pills from the green brocade pouch.

Then, she turned around and walked to Bian Yuan's side.

The man lay motionless on the ground, his indifferent eyes filled with bewilderment, yet showing no fear whatsoever.

"Peak Master Bian, may I borrow your precious sword?"

Fei Xi didn't care whether the other party agreed or not, she took the Mo Wen sword from his hand and walked directly to Liu Nanli's side.

Behind her, the man's indifferent gaze instantly turned dark and cold because of this action, like a bottomless icy pool, sending chills down one's spine.

"You only have a cup of tea's time to decide: kill Grandma, or we all die here."

Fei Xi handed the sword to Liu Nanli. The blind youth touched the hilt of the sword but couldn't hold on to it. The sword fell from his hand with a crisp sound.

He trembled his lips and asked, puzzled:

"Why, why me?"

“You have hatred in your heart, you are afraid of your grandmother, but you hate her even more.”

Fei Xi picked up the sword from the ground and placed it back in Liu Nanli's hand. Her calm, emotionless words sent a chill down the spines of everyone present:

“Kill her. From now on, she will no longer appear in your dreams and become a nightmare you can’t get rid of; she will no longer be able to use her martial arts skills and status to treat you like livestock, to dominate you and abuse you at will.”

"Senior Sister?" Mu Qingfeng felt something was off and wanted to step forward, but she was frozen in place by the icy look in her senior sister's eyes, her body trembling uncontrollably, unable to utter a sound.

The hand gripping the sword was still trembling, but it didn't loosen its hold as before. Fei Xi led the unseen Liu Nanli to Ling Mianqing's side.

"What do you want to do?! I am the leader of the Free and Unfettered Sect! If you dare to kill me, the Free and Unfettered Sect will hunt you down to the ends of the earth, tear you apart, and make you wish you were dead!"

The two ordinary people in front of her, who knew no martial arts, would have been as easy for Ling Mianqing to kill as crushing an ant in the past.

But at this moment, apart from suddenly being able to speak, she still couldn't move her body.

She had never felt such fear when facing Bian Yuan's pursuit; how dare these two!

No, she doesn't want to die!

"Xiao Ba, what have I done wrong to you? Yes, I was angry that you ignored me, so I beat you up, but as long as you let me go, I promise..."

"My name is Liu Nanli, not Xiao Ba!"

The man, who was usually mild-mannered, suddenly became furious. He had been inexplicably tied up in this godforsaken place and was being subjected to inhuman torture without any chance of resistance. Fei was right; he was afraid, but he hated even more.

The hatred in his heart drove him forward with the sword in his hand. He felt resistance as soon as he extended the sword, but the sharp blade easily pierced through the obstacle.

Liu Nanli felt warm liquid splash on his face. He smelled a bloody scent, which excited him. He couldn't help but smile and pushed the sword forward with all his might until it could go no further.

Ling Mianqing stared at the sword in her chest, still unable to believe that the other party would actually dare to kill her.

The man who had stabbed her suddenly smiled, a wicked smile like that of a demon from hell. She tried to run away in fear, but she had no internal energy and couldn't move.

She was like a fish on a chopping board, completely at their mercy. The sword pierced deeper and deeper into her chest, pinning her to the blade.

"No...spare me, please let me go!"

Seeing that pleading for mercy was completely ineffective against the blind young man before her, and feeling her body growing colder, Ling Mianqing immediately changed her target for pleas:

"Bian Yuan, you can't just stand by and watch me die. Without me, the Xiaoyao Sect will definitely be in chaos. You promised her you wouldn't let her hard work go to waste!"

Bian Yuan, who had remained silent and coldly observed the farce unfolding before him, finally spoke:

"Fei Xi, let her go. You can name your terms."

"Peak Master Bian, do you know what this woman has done?"

Without waiting for a reply, Fei Xi crossed her arms and answered herself expressionlessly:

"You want me to let her go? You should ask the skeletons at the bottom of the cliff behind this mountain if they'd be willing to let her go; ask the women who were kidnapped by her male lovers, drugged and thrown onto the ship for their pleasure if they'd be willing to let her go. Since you've tracked her down to the Free and Unfettered Sect, you naturally know what that ship is doing. The person who created that ship may have had good intentions, but now you want to maintain this rotten thing? Do you think your lives matter, while everyone else deserves to die, deserves to be trampled on by you at will?"
