Wuxia: The Super Slave Master

Page 164

"Xiao Zhi, just listen to my advice and don't act rashly! If you continue like this, I will report to the Grand Master and expel you from the Mo family."

Upon hearing Zhang Liang's words, Dongguo Zhi glared angrily at him, but Zhang Liang didn't flinch. At this moment, Xiang Liang, who had been standing to the side, stepped forward and, acting as a peacemaker, advised the two: "I believe Miss Duanmu Rong must have been delayed by something, which is why she hasn't returned yet. The Qin soldiers are hot on our heels. Why don't we go back and wait a day or two, until things calm down, before searching again? Don't you agree?"

Chapter 404 Heading to Feixue Pavilion

Seeing the two of them, Gao Yue, who was standing to the side, slowly stepped forward and said to Dong Guozhi:

"Brother Zhi, just listen to everyone's advice!"

Seeing everyone trying to persuade him, Dongguo Zhi's temper subsided. He nodded helplessly and then said to Zhang Liang with a hint of apology:

"Strategist, I'm sorry! I was indeed too impulsive just now."

After hearing Dongguo Zhi's words, Zhang Liang smiled and patted him on the shoulder, then led everyone onto the small boat. Once everyone was on board, the boat quickly began to move across the lake.

At this moment, Luo Chen led his troops to slowly catch up. When Luo Chen saw that the Xiang clan and the Mo family had already left by boat, a smile appeared on his face, and then he gave the order:

"The whole army retreats!"

After Luo Chen returned to Xianyang, he began to stroll through the streets. He slowly walked to the front of a magnificent teahouse inn. Upon seeing the sign above the inn, Luo Chen was overjoyed. The three large characters "Fei Xue Ge" (妃雪阁) immediately caught his eye. He then leaned forward and entered the Fei Xue Ge. Although Fei Xue Ge was a place for the wealthy to relax and enjoy themselves, when Luo Chen entered, he didn't...

How many people were there? Only a maid dressed in a thin gauze dress gradually emerged from the side. Upon seeing Luo Chen, the maid hurriedly carried her tea towards him. Luo Chen, seeing this, also took the tea from the maid's hands.

He took some reward money from his clothes and threw it into the maid's plate.

Just as the maid was about to leave, Luo Chen hurriedly called her down and asked her in confusion:

"Where is your sect leader, Snow Maiden?"

Upon hearing Luo Chen's words, the maid slowly addressed him:

"My master is receiving guests in the back hall. Please rest for a moment." After saying this, the maid slowly left Luo Chen's sight. Following the maid's instructions, Luo Chen quietly crept into the back hall. Hearing this, he could hear sounds gradually coming from the direction of the back hall...

A zither melody played for a while. The music was as clear and pure as water, soothing the mind and spirit. Even Luo Chen gradually immersed himself in the music. Then, the sound of a xiao (vertical flute) emerged, sometimes joyful, sometimes melancholic. The zither and xiao, two different...

Their emotions were able to blend together perfectly.

Upon hearing this, Luo Chen quickly entered. He saw a woman dressed in a white dress, her long, black hair cascading down to her waist, completely absorbed in the music. The man beside her appeared somewhat rustic. After Xue Nu and Gao Jianli finished playing the piece, they began to look at each other. Gao Jianli looked at Xue Nu and sensed a familiarity in the sound she was playing. He slowly rose from his seat.

Come, looking at the snow woman with a puzzled expression, and said to her in surprise:

"Are you the Snow Woman from the Gate of Death?"

Upon hearing Gao Jianli's words, Xue Nu excitedly put down her flute and nodded emphatically. Just then, Luo Chen slowly walked in from outside the door, clapping and exclaiming to the two of them:

"Oh, what a touching scene!"

Upon hearing the voice behind her, the Snow Maiden hurriedly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, regaining her usual indifference, and said to Luo Chen:

"Who are you? This is my private space, please leave immediately." At this moment, Gao Jianli, upon seeing Luo Chen, hurriedly approached him with his zither, eyeing him warily. When Luo Chen saw their wary looks, he couldn't help but burst into laughter, slowly walked to the side, and sat down.

He went down and said to Gao Jianli and Xue Nu:

"You don't need to be so nervous. Don't you want to know news about Gai Nie?"

Upon hearing Luo Chen's words, Gao Jianli's eyes lit up with excitement. He hurriedly approached Luo Chen and said excitedly:

"What do you know? Tell me now!"

Having witnessed a great deal, the Snow Maiden, upon hearing Luo Chen's words, showed little emotional fluctuation. Seeing Gao Jianli's excited expression, she quickly approached Luo Chen and calmly said:

"Sir, please tell me your demands, but I expect everything you say to be true, otherwise I will absolutely not let you leave this door!"

Upon hearing Xue Nu's words, Luo Chen feigned great fear and said to her:

"Don't scare me! I'm very timid. If you do this to me and I forget what happened, that would be terrible!"

Upon hearing Luo Chen's words, the Snow Maiden forcibly suppressed her anger and calmly said to Luo Chen:

"Please feel free to make any requests you may have."

Upon hearing Xue Nu's words, Luo Chen took out a jade bottle from his clothes, placed it on his table, and said to Xue Nu:

"I'll tell you once you drink it."

At this moment, Gao Jianli saw the drop of Demon King's blood on Luo Chen's table and reached for the bottle. Luo Chen, seeing this, slapped Gao Jianli's hand away and coldly said, "Didn't you hear what I said? I said she should drink what's in this bottle, not you. You are not qualified to drink what's in this bottle."

Chapter 405 Drawing a Circle to Tease You

Upon hearing Luo Chen's words, Xue Nu slowly reached for the jade bottle in front of him, but her movements were extremely slow. Seeing this, Luo Chen said to Xue Nu with a relaxed expression:

"Don't worry, it's not poison inside. It's a powerful tonic that can greatly enhance your skills."

When Gao Jianli saw that Xue Nu was really about to drink what was in the bottle, he also said fiercely to Luo Chen:

"If anything happens to Xue Nu after drinking this, I will definitely not let you off!" Upon hearing Gao Jianli's words, Luo Chen's eyes flashed with disdain. He then watched excitedly as Xue Nu slowly brought her lips to the bottle. After Xue Nu drank it down, Luo Chen laughed heartily. At this moment, Xue Nu suddenly felt...

He felt like his head was about to explode, and he collapsed to the ground, howling in pain.

At this moment, the system's unique notification sound rang in Luo Chen's mind.

"Ding, the Snow Maiden has become the host's servant."

Servant Name: Snow Woman.

"Loyalty: 4." Upon seeing this, Gao Jianli's face darkened with anger. He swiftly drew a soft sword from his zither and thrust it towards Luo Chen. When Luo Chen saw the soft sword in Gao Jianli's hand aimed at him…

As he came, he slowly raised his palm.

Luo Chen effortlessly clamped the soft sword in Gao Jianli's hand between two fingers, and with a slow twist, the sword began to bend. Seeing this, Luo Chen abruptly released her grip, and the sword, like a spring, lashed out to the other side. Gao Jianli quickly turned his face away, but the sword still struck him.

A bloody scratch appeared on his face.

Upon seeing this, Luo Chen slowly spoke to Gao Jianli:

"Young people are so hot-tempered. Don't you want to know anything about Gai Nie?" As Luo Chen said this, Xue Nu's screams gradually stopped, but she still lay there pale-faced. When Gao Jianli saw that Xue Nu showed no signs of poisoning, his heart eased, but he still looked at Luo Chen with a hint of anger.

Said:

"Okay, then you go ahead and say it!"

Upon hearing Gao Jianli's words, Luo Chen slowly stood up from his seat and said to Gao Jianli:

"What I'm saying is, Gai Nie is already dead, so what are you going to do about it!" Upon hearing Luo Chen's words, Gao Jianli, disregarding whether Luo Chen's words were true or false, angrily thrust his soft sword at Luo Chen. At this moment, Luo Chen, seeing Gao Jianli thrusting at him again, also...

In his mind, he commanded the Snow Maiden to kill Gao Jianli.

At this moment, after receiving Luo Chen's order, Xue Nu unconsciously took out her jade flute and stepped in front of Luo Chen, blocking Gao Jianli. Upon seeing Xue Nu blocking his way, Gao Jianli panicked and hurriedly shouted at her:

"Snow Woman, get out of my way! I'm going to kill him!"

Upon hearing Gao Jianli's words, Luo Chen smiled slightly and then coldly addressed Xue Nu:

"Snow Woman, kill him! Do it!"

As soon as Luo Chen finished speaking, before Xue Nu could offer any resistance, he brandished his jade flute and charged towards Gao Jianli. Seeing that Xue Nu was indeed following Luo Chen's instructions, Gao Jianli hurriedly shouted at her:

"Snow Woman, why are you listening to him!"

After Gao Jianli finished speaking, he quickly used his soft sword to open the jade flute in Xue Nu's hand. Upon hearing Gao Jianli's words, Xue Nu urgently said to him:

"I don't know what's going on. There's a voice in my head that keeps urging me to attack you. If I have any thoughts of resisting it, my head feels like it's about to explode."

Upon hearing Xue Nu's words, Gao Jianli angrily addressed Luo Chen:

"What did you give the Snow Maiden to drink? Hand over the antidote!" Seeing that the Snow Maiden hadn't subdued Gao Jianli after so long, Luo Chen rushed towards him. Before Gao Jianli could react, Luo Chen struck him with a palm strike. Instantly, Gao Jianli's body snapped as if broken...

It flew backwards like a kite with its string cut.

When Gao Jianli landed on the ground, he spat out a mouthful of blood. Seeing this, Luo Chen slowly said to the Snow Maiden:

"You, go up and kill him!" Upon hearing Xue Nu's words, Gao Jianli repeatedly banged his head against her head. Xue Nu, upon hearing Luo Chen's words, desperately tried to control her thoughts, resisting their urges. Then, a deafening roar...

The sound rang in the snow woman's mind once again.

The agonizing snow woman rolled on the ground, repeatedly clutching her head. Seeing this, Luo Chen sighed helplessly and muttered to himself:

"It seems I must raise Xue Nu's loyalty to ten before I can truly make her completely obedient." Thinking this, Luo Chen stretched out his hand towards the jade flute in Xue Nu's hand. The jade flute flew directly into Luo Chen's hand. As soon as Luo Chen had Xue Nu's jade flute in his own hand, he quickly threw his own jade flute towards Gao Jianli. ...

Chapter 406 Plotting Rebellion (Part 1)

At this moment, Gao Jianli's eyes revealed a look of unwillingness, but before he could utter a word, he swallowed his anger and collapsed to the ground. Meanwhile, Xue Nu, seeing Gao Jianli die on her jade flute, her eyes...

God's tears slowly flowed down. Upon seeing this, Luo Chen quickly flashed to Xue Nu's side. Before Xue Nu could react, Luo Chen pulled her into his arms and swiftly left Fei Xue Pavilion. The maids inside never noticed her.

Their leader has disappeared. After abducting the Snow Maiden, Luo Chen began working to increase loyalty within his own palace. Meanwhile, in Zhao Gao's residence, Zhao Gao hasn't left for several days, constantly pondering Luo Chen's intentions—first, after ascending the throne, to annihilate the...

They scattered the quicksand, and then they besieged and annihilated the Xiang clan.

All of this made Zhao Gao sense something unusual. When the Grand Master of Fate noticed Zhao Gao's furrowed brow, he quietly approached Zhao Gao and asked him suspiciously:

"Lord Donghuang, may I ask what troubles you?"

After hearing the Grand Master of Fate's words, Zhao Gao voiced his own conjecture. Upon hearing Zhao Gao's words, the Grand Master of Fate's eyes flickered, and after a moment's thought, he said to Zhao Gao:

"My lord, let me guess what you're thinking. Are you wondering if the new emperor already knows our identities and is indirectly trying to sabotage our plans?"

When Zhao Gao heard the words of the Grand Master of Fate, a look of surprise and doubt appeared on his face. He then slowly stood up from his seat, walked to the Grand Master of Fate's side, and said to her with a hint of relief in his tone:

"Indeed, it seems my years of teaching you haven't been in vain. But do you have any good ideas?" Upon hearing Zhao Gao's words, the Grand Master of Fate gradually revealed a sinister smile, then slowly brought his mouth close to Zhao Gao's ear and whispered something. After hearing the Grand Master of Fate's words, Zhao Gao was immediately delighted...

He burst out laughing.

Zhao Gao happily said to the Grand Master of Fate:

"Your plan is excellent. I'll go to the palace now. Having taught Huhai for so many years, he'll surely listen to me." As Zhao Gao said this, he hurriedly left his residence and rushed to the palace, quickly heading to Huhai's bedchamber. When Zhao Gao arrived, he was surprised to find Huhai lying on the bed, fast asleep.

He fell into a deep sleep.

When Zhao Gao saw this, a hint of anger rose within him, and he kept thinking:

"His own throne has been taken away, yet he still has the mind to sleep soundly. He's utterly hopeless."

Although Zhao Gao thought this to himself, he still feigned a worried expression and hurriedly came to Hu Hai's side, gently nudging Hu Hai's body. When Hu Hai felt someone calling him, he slowly opened his eyes.

When Hu Hai saw his teacher standing anxiously by his bedside, he tried to open his drowsy eyes and, still slightly sleepy, said to Zhao Gao:

"Teacher, it's so late now, why aren't you sleeping at home? What brings you to my palace?"

Upon hearing Hu Hai's words, Zhao Gao squeezed out a tear, feigning sorrow as he knelt before Hu Hai and said sadly:

"This old minister has caused the young master to suffer!"

Upon hearing Zhao Gao's words, Hu Hai became even more puzzled. He hurriedly sat up from his bed, helped Zhao Gao up from the floor, and said to him:

"Teacher, what are you doing! Besides, I haven't suffered at all. My life is no different from before! Why are you saying this, teacher?"

At this moment, Zhao Gao slowly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with his clothes, and said sorrowfully to Hu Hai:

"This old minister is truly lamenting for the young master! The throne should have belonged to him, but who would have thought that the Qin dynasty would be seized by Luo Chen, and now His Majesty the First Emperor is nowhere to be found. This old minister fears that His Majesty has met with misfortune."

"What?! My father has met with misfortune?!" Hu Hai stared at Zhao Gao in panic and questioned him.

As Zhao Gao spoke, tears welled up in his eyes, and he silently nodded. Seeing this, Hu Hai shuddered, abruptly sitting up on his bed and angrily saying to Zhao Gao:

"I will make him pay for my father's life."

Upon hearing this, a sinister smile gradually appeared on Zhao Gao's face, then quickly vanished as he continued his weeping and pleading with Hu Hai:

"Please, young master, you must avenge His Majesty! Kill Luo Chen and reclaim the throne that rightfully belongs to you."

Upon hearing Zhao Gao's words, Hu Hai's eyes filled with sorrow, and he said to Zhao Gao sadly:

"Teacher, I have absolutely no troops left. How can I possibly fight against Luo Chen? Besides, even if I seize the throne, it will belong to my elder brother. What will it have to do with me?" Upon hearing that Hu Hai had this intention, Zhao Gao hurriedly approached him, slowly bringing his head close to Hu Hai's ear to speak. Hu Hai, upon hearing Zhao Gao's words, gradually relaxed his tightly furrowed brows...

It eased up.

After hearing Zhao Gao's words, Hu Hai hurriedly stood up and walked to a nearby table. Zhao Gao, seeing this, smiled with delight, quickly picked up an inkstone, and began grinding ink. → After seeing the ink was ready, Hu Hai hurriedly picked up a brush and carefully began writing on the bamboo slips. About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Hu Hai, covered in sweat, put down his brush. ...

Chapter 407 Plotting Rebellion (Part Two)

When Zhao Gao saw Hu Hai put down his writing brush, he hurriedly went to Hu Hai's side and carefully took the bamboo slip from Hu Hai's hand. After reading the contents of the bamboo slip, Zhao Gao hurriedly put it away before the ink had completely dried.

He said to Hu Hai with delight:

"My lord, I will now hand this bamboo slip to you, Prince Fusu. Please wait for my good news, Prince Huhai!"

After hearing Zhao Gao's words, Hu Hai nodded with concern.

"Teacher, please be careful on your way!"
