Chapter 671 69: You’re Not Even the Third Wheel, So Who Are You to Talk to Me Like That?
Wang Cheng arranged for some food to be brought for the scruffy group to eat.
The meal was especially simple, with plain rice mixed with a little green vegetable.
But the food for Mo Lin was different: chicken drumsticks, lamb soup.
Perhaps catching a whiff of the meat's aroma, someone glanced at Mo Lin.
"What are you looking at? Eat your own meal."
Wang Cheng scolded that person angrily.
After Wang Cheng's words, the scruffy group all lowered their heads.
"Mo, be careful when you go to the East District.
The East District is not like the South District.
Though the South District is chaotic, it has order, and such random killings don't happen there.
But the East District is different.
The East District has no order, where lives are cheap as grass."
Wang Cheng was talking to Mo Lin about the East District.
He clearly didn't realize that Mo Lin had once come from the East District.
"Whirr..."
A gust of wind blew past.
The black sky was suddenly filled with a purplish-blue glow.
Mo Lin frowned slightly and instantly ducked into a dilapidated straw hut in the distance.
The hut was very shabby; it was essentially just a spot where straw was piled up to block the wind and rain.
In fact, it was hard to even use it to shelter from rain.
Mo Lin had just hidden himself.
Behind him, a gust of wind howled, and a terrifying killing intent surged up instantly.
Dozens of people in the distance were scared to the point of kneeling on the ground.
Wang Cheng's face turned ashen with fright.
A graceful figure appeared before everyone.
This woman held a sword in her left hand, wore a purplish-blue coat, and her jet-black hair cascaded over her shoulders.
She had an extraordinarily beautiful face.
The moment he saw the woman, Wang Cheng was overwhelmed with fear.
"Fairy Yunxia, why are you here?" Wang Cheng asked in astonishment. Why would Fairy Yunxia come to such a godforsaken place?
This place was incredibly remote, with nothing around, so what was she doing here?
Fairy Yunxia's gaze swept over everyone present, then coldly said, "Not here?"
Clearly, she was looking for someone.
"Are you looking for Mo Lin?" Xu Qiaoqiao asked Fairy Yunxia.
Hearing Xu Qiaoqiao's words, Mo Lin's face darkened; he already knew what Xu Qiaoqiao was going to say next.
"Yes, where is he?"
"He's... hiding over there." Xu Qiaoqiao pointed to where Mo Lin was hiding and said to Fairy Yunxia.
"Whirr..."
Fairy Yunxia didn't waste any words and swung her sword.
The straw hut shattered into pieces, leaving Mo Lin standing awkwardly on the ground.
Mo Lin had deliberately concealed his aura earlier; without Xu Qiaoqiao's meddling, Fairy Yunxia definitely wouldn't have found him.
Mo Lin gave Fairy Yunxia an awkward smile.
Mo Lin's smile was stiff.
Xu Qiaoqiao's eyes were sparkling. Seeing Mo Lin and Fairy Yunxia meet at that moment got her somewhat excited.
"They finally met, just as I foresaw.
Can't wait for what's going to happen next..."
Seeing Xu Qiaoqiao like this, Mo Lin inwardly grumbled, "Crazy..."
"Looking for me?" Mo Lin asked Fairy Yunxia.
"I've come to kill you," Fairy Yunxia said coldly.
"Kill me?" Mo Lin and Fairy Yunxia had met once before, and Fairy Yunxia was Yun Xue'xue's friend.
Mo Lin had no conflict with her, so why would she want to kill him?
"Her childhood sweetheart is Xu Zang's close friend.
Fairy Yunxia is here to kill you on her childhood sweetheart's orders," Xu Qiaoqiao explained to Mo Lin.
Mo Lin wasn't from the South District and didn't know much about Fairy Yunxia.
Fairy Yunxia was someone who followed her childhood sweetheart's commands to the letter, having helped her childhood sweetheart kill many people.
This time coming to kill Mo Lin was no doubt arranged by the childhood sweetheart.
According to Mo Lin's understanding, the root of the matter was still Xu Zang.
The way Xu Qiaoqiao seemed to know everything was really something.
"Are you going to take your own life, or shall I do the job?" Fairy Yunxia asked Mo Lin coldly.
Mo Lin hadn't spoken yet when Xu Qiaoqiao, not wanting to see things dull, added again: "This person is your true love. He's the one who can draw the Purple and Blue Treasure Sword."
Fairy Yunxia's body trembled suddenly, her icy gaze showing emotional waves.
In the depths of her eyes was delight, shock, and ultimately a look of decisiveness.
Fairy Yunxia raised her left hand and, pointing the sheath at Mo Lin, said coldly: "Draw the sword."
Mo Lin remained where he was, making no movement.
"As long as you draw the Purple and Blue Treasure Sword, I will spare your life," Fairy Yunxia said slowly.
Mo Lin rolled his eyes.
She could tell that to someone else.
Xu Qiaoqiao had said before that if Mo Lin drew the Purple and Blue Treasure Sword, he'd be killed anyway.
Moreover, Xu Qiaoqiao was particularly out to kill the person who drew the Purple and Blue Treasure Sword.
Whether he drew the sword or not, he'd still be hunted down, so why bother?
"Don't cause trouble for me, I'm not afraid of you," Mo Lin said coldly, frowning.
It wasn't that Mo Lin didn't want to make a move, but he wasn't willing to.
He needed to reserve his strength for when he returned to the East District.
If he fought with Fairy Yunxia, Mo Lin would definitely be severely injured, and then he wouldn't be able to deal with things back in the East District.
"Get lost!"
A scolding voice echoed in the air.
The shrill voice was painful to the ears.
Mo Lin looked in the direction of the voice in confusion.
Who was coming now?
Looking in the direction of the voice, it was a woman.
This woman had exceptionally long pink eyelashes, matched with a pair of enticing eyes.
They were eyes with a contour similar to a fox's.
She wore a coat of ink-black colors.
After she appeared, she instantly attracted the attention of everyone present.
She possessed a captivatingly beautiful appearance.
"Where did this wild woman come from, causing trouble for my husband?" Huang Qi scolded Fairy Yunxia.
Seeing Huang Qi, Mo Lin felt very speechless.
Did he have a tracker installed on him?
How did it feel like even a stray dog by the roadside could find him?
How did Huang Qi find such a remote place?
Huang Qi tilted her face to the side with her left hand, winked her left eye at Mo Lin, and threw a coquettish glance.
"Tsk... Husband, did I come just in time?"
"How did you find me?" Mo Lin asked in puzzlement.
At that moment, Xu Qiaoqiao's voice was heard.
"I knew you'd run into trouble, so I brought Huang Qi over to help."
Xu Qiaoqiao really was someone who was good at making things more interesting, actually bringing Huang Qi along.
Even more surprising to Mo Lin, Xu Qiaoqiao actually knew Huang Qi.
Huang Qi directly went to stand in front of Mo Lin, then turned to stare at Fairy Yunxia, with her hands on her hips.
"Draw a sword... What good is a broken sword to draw?"
Huang Qi yelled at Fairy Yunxia: "The position of the mistress is mine. There is no place for you.
Don't think about stealing my man.
Though I know my husband is very exceptional, very nice... exceptionally nice... incredibly nice.
But... he's not yours."
Xu Qiaoqiao slightly opened her mouth, looking like an onlooker ready to watch a show.
She stood on the sidelines watching the scene like it was a movie.
"Isn't it just because you got the Purple and Blue Treasure Sword? What's so great about it?" Huang Qi's words belittled Fairy Yunxia.
"Scram..." Fairy Yunxia snorted.
"Oh... You're not even a mistress, and you dare speak to me like that?"
Huang Qi rolled up her sleeves once more and said: "Unless I give you a lesson, you won't understand the difference between a mistress and an outsider..."
With her enticing face matched with such rough actions, Huang Qi exuded an indescribable sense of contrast.
