Chapter 41 Suppressing Sword Qi

Chapter 41: Chapter 41 Suppressing Sword Qi

Mo Shang is now committed to protecting Ah-Chang, guessing that once the itching powder touches the skin and takes effect, he would surely be the first to slay Ah-Chang.

"Hmph, in my opinion, this Evil Slave is clearly putting on an act!"

"Who doesn’t suffer from some pain or itch? If all the servants in the Manor could ignore the rules whenever they feel discomfort and offend their masters, what would become of order?"

Enraged, Chu Feng brandished his sword, intent on killing, which frightened Ah-Chang into clinging even closer to Mo Shang.

A trace of a triumphant and scheming smile flickered across Chu Feng’s face, visible only for an instant.

Having achieved his goal, he genuinely hadn’t expected that he could eliminate two Managers in one fell swoop today.

Especially Mo Shang, who was a formidable character.

Eliminating him was akin to severing one of Prince Liu Mansion’s arms.

After protecting Ah-Chang, Mo Shang put on an act to check his condition.

"From what I see, this servant of the Sword King Mansion doesn’t seem to be lying; he truly has contracted some strange illness! Since this servant has come to me for help, I would ask the two Princes to grant this Manager a favor and spare him this once!"

Previously, Mo Shang would call Chu Feng and Chu Jianlan by their names, even referring to Chu Feng as Little Chu.

It was very disrespectful.

Now, to call them Princes, it was indeed difficult for him.

The purpose was only one, to save Ah-Chang, his spy.

"Since Manager Mo has spoken, I cannot refuse to give this face! Get lost!" Chu Feng was happy to do a favor, because Ah-Chang was as good as dead anyway.

The itching powder concocted by Chu Feng was a unique secret formula, let alone the Pill Masters of the Jianyun Dynasty.

Even the other Alchemy Venerates of this realm, I’m afraid, would be helpless.

As Ah-Chang walked away, he wondered, "Strange, why isn’t Chief Luo here?"

"Looking for Chief Luo? Don’t worry, you’ll see him very soon!" Chu Feng said with a smile, pointing to a charred corpse on the ground.

Ah-Chang hadn’t noticed what was on the ground before, as he was too itchy and filled with the fear of death.

Now reminded by Chu Feng and glancing subconsciously, he saw the scorched body on the ground.

"Ah..."

Ah-Chang saw the charred person on the ground was his backer, Chief Luo, and was so terrified that he fell to the ground.

He nearly scrambled to flee the audience hall.

Now that his backer was dead, how could he, a mere minion of Luo, dare to be arrogant?

Mo Shang felt his own hand itching.

He couldn’t help but scratch it, and the more he scratched, the more irresistible it became. Even if he scratched until he bled, it didn’t hurt, and it felt oddly refreshing.

"Heh heh, there’s something I don’t know if I should say?" Chu Feng looked at Mo Shang with a smile. "This Evil Slave’s strange disease that broke out in my Mansion, it seems to be contagious! Ah-Chang is not the first to contract this bizarre disease."

"The first to contract this disease was Luo Mao. Not long ago, I saw him carried out, covered in pus, hanging by a thread!"

"I guess Ah-Chang will soon follow in his footsteps!"

Chu Feng said casually, seemingly unconcerned.

"You, why didn’t you say that earlier?" Mo Shang felt a chilling terror and quickly shook off his clothing, all the while frantically rubbing his body.

Frightened, the three experts from Prince Liu Mansion hurriedly took the fool, Liu Cong, and kept their distance.

Now, Mo Shang felt even itchier, including his neck and face.

"I am a Sword Master, immune to all diseases; even if this strange disease really infects me, it won’t affect me! I’ll be fine soon!" Mo Shang reassured himself as he hastily made for the exit.

Almost everyone who itched severely had the first thought of going back to take a bath.

Outside, just so happened that two servants of the manor were carrying the nearly breathless Luo Mao over.

Because Luo Mao’s condition had further deteriorated and he kept causing a ruckus, the two manor guards wanted Chu Jianlan to make a decision.

"Reporting to the Eldest Prince! Manager Luo Mao caught a strange and severe itching illness yesterday, and treating him at the Medicine Hall today was ineffective. Now that his condition has worsened, we ask for the Eldest Prince to make a decision and handle this matter!"

The two manor guards were both wrapped up tightly, afraid of being infected.

"Carry him outside the manor, then go to the Medicine Hall to buy some medicine and come back. Do what we can, and leave the rest to fate!" Chu Jianlan subconsciously glanced at the calm-faced Chu Feng, faintly feeling that Luo Mao’s matter might be the doing of Chu Feng.

But he still couldn’t believe that his younger brother had such great ability.

If it were indeed possible to get rid of Manager Luo, Luo Mao, and Ah-Chang all at once, it would undoubtedly be a huge boon for Sword King Mansion.

There’d be no need to be on guard and wary of these three every day.

"Hmph, you two sure put on quite the show! The roads I, the Manager, have traveled are more than the bridges you two brothers have crossed, how could I possibly be frightened by your trivial tricks?"

Mo Shang glanced at the pus-covered Luo Mao and believed that Chu Feng and Chu Jianlan must have been putting on an act together.

He flicked his sleeve and led his people away swiftly.

"Whether it’s an act or not isn’t important; Manager Mo, just remember this: the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it!" Chu Feng spoke a seemingly enigmatic sentence, watching as Mo Shang and the others made a shabby retreat.

A mere few Sword Masters still dare to swagger before him, truly courting death.

Even if Mo Shang’s cultivation was a bit stronger, he could only hold on for two more days at most before he wouldn’t be able to withstand it anymore.

Whether he lives or dies then will depend on whether he seeks the right path.

If he comes to beg Chu Feng and is willing to serve Chu Feng in secret, naturally, he could save his life.

After sending away Mo Shang and the others, Chu Jianlan ordered his servants to deal with Manager Luo’s corpse and didn’t mention it further. He solemnly pulled Chu Feng into Chu Yun’s room.

"Little brother, now that you’ve driven away the people from Prince Liu Mansion, do you have a way to cure our second sister?"

Today, Chu Feng’s performance greatly surprised Chu Jianlan.

He secretly guessed that Chu Feng might have already figured out a way to cure Chu Yun. Otherwise, he wouldn’t so readily confront the people from Prince Liu Mansion.

Even if refusing to marry off Chu Yun, other conditions could still be exchanged.

"Senior brother, I won’t hide it from you; indeed, I have thought of a method! However, this matter requires utmost secrecy." After speaking, Chu Feng moved his second sister into his own room.

Now that Manager Luo and the others were no longer around to monitor, actions became much more convenient.

Yet, Chu Feng still appeared very cautious to avoid any unexpected mishaps.

He had his senior brother guard outside before he dared to call out the black-clothed woman he saved last night.

"My second sister is outside, I’m entrusting her to your care!" Chu Feng was very polite to the black-clothed woman.

Last night, I didn’t get a clear look at her.

Upon observing the black-clothed woman again at this moment, she was even more beautiful and enchanting than imagined. Despite wearing a mask, one could not help but speculate about her stunning beauty.

"What are you looking at? Such a young age and not learning good things!" The black-clothed woman noticed Chu Feng staring at her boldly, which made her very annoyed.

This mysterious woman possessed Great Sword Master Cultivation, and Chu Feng did not dare to provoke her.

He quickly averted his gaze.

Outside the secret chamber, the black-clothed woman checked Chu Yun’s condition and then placed her jade hand over Chu Yun’s heart.

Moments later, she coldly said, "Feed her the Continuation Pill now!"
