Li Qiushui stood tall and graceful, her figure as elegant as a pure lotus. Her beautiful eyes held a cold killing i as her red lips parted slightly.

  " Yueming, you foolish dog, you never expected that your carefully id trap had already beehrough by me."

  At this moment, the situation had reversed. Lin Hao stopped pretending, sprang up like a carp, and stood beside his Senior Sister. His starry eyes were filled with indifference as he sed the crowd.

  "I knew you pnted a wolf by my side long ago. I just wao see what tricks you could pull.

  Ha, and you ended up trying to harm us with a fool. You're truly inpetent."

  Yueming's face was so dark it could drip water. Her plexion ale as paper due to the injury on her chest.

  Her meticulously pnned scheme had beehrough from the start. A trace of desotion fshed in her eyes. Where did it all g?

  Seeing her nemesis in such a dejected state, a hint of satisfa fshed in Li Qiushui's beautiful eyes as she took two steps forward.

  " Yueming, your ing pns have backfired. Everything you inteo do to me, I will return to you. Prepare yourself!"

  Swish!

  A tiny sword flew out of Li Qiushui's ste bag, like a streak of emerald light, shooting toward her oppo.

  At the same time, Lin Hao moved, fmes spewing from his palms as he attacked the enemy.

  Even a lios full strength to catch a rabbit. Although the oppo was ihere was no guarantee she didn't have a trick up her sleeve. That's why Lin Hao went in for the kill, to prevent any ued turn of events.

  Yueming, already heavily injured from a sneak attack, was now besieged by two masters. She couldn't withstand the assault and was utterly suppressed.

  Her robe was sshed with sword marks, and her breath was chaotic, clearly uo hold on.

  Her so-called supporters were quick to read the situation and had long since fled.

  A siree ot support a forest!

  g!

  Lin Hao spped away the flying sword and delivered two fierce puo the woman's abdomen. The blows were so violent that she spat blood wildly, her legs uo support her as she colpsed bonelessly to the ground.

  Whoosh!

  The emerald green sword hovered at Yueming's heart.

  "Don't move!"

  Li Qiushui looked down at her nemesis, her beautiful eyes filled with mockery.

  " Yueming, how does it feel to be captured?"

  Though unwilling, the woman had no words to retort, as she was at the mercy of others.

  Seeing his Senior Sister subdue Yueming, Lin Hao turned his cold gaze to Li Xunran. Everyone else had fled, yet she hadn't.

  This woman truly deserved to die!

  If he hadn't seen through the plot, he and his Senior Sister would have been the ones humiliated after drinking the drugged tea today.

  Although killing was forbidden within the sect, severely injuring someone wasn't against the rules. He inteo make her wish for death!

  Spiritual energy surged around him, fmes coiling around his arms as he stepped toward Li Xunran.

  "Senior Sister, save me!"

  Fear fshed in the woman's eyes as she turo flee.

  "Your Senior Sister has already been..."

  Lin Hao's words were cut off by Li Qiushui.

  "Lin Hao, don't harm her. She's one of mine."

  ???

  Lin Hao was bewildered. What did she mean, this wolf was his Senior Sister's person?

  Seeing Lin Hao's fused expression, a hint of apology fshed in Li Qiushui's eyes.

  "Junior Brother, I didn't mean to keep it from you. It was necessary to lure Yueming into the trap."

  A wry smile tugged at Lin Hao's lips. He uood now. His Senior Sister had deliberately let Li Xunra close to him to set up her nemesis, using it as a bargaining chip to gain trust and orchestrate a grand scheme.

  He couldn't help but admire her. It was brilliant, truly brilliant.

  Yueming's chest heaved with anger. She had thought herself the hunter, but from the beginning, she had been the prey.

  "Li Qiushui, how dare you deceive me like this, you wretch!"

  Realizing she had been pyed like a fool, her lips trembled with rage!

  "Li... Li Xunran, you little traitor, I've treated you well, why betray me!"

  Li Xunran straightened her back, a hint of disdain fshing in her eyes as she spat lightly.

  "Bah, I've always been Senior Sister Li's persoray you? Everything I've done was to deal with you!"

  Li Qiushui cast a cold g Yueming. If not for the sect's rule against killing fellow disciples, she would have ended her with a sword.

  However, she had already thought of a way to punish her.

  "Junior Brother, it was wrong of me to keep this from you. Let me make it up to you. I'll leave Yueming to you for punishment. I want you to return the favor in kind!"

  "..." Lin Hao.
