Chapter 1418 Though living in the martial world, my mother dislikes fighting and killing.
At this moment, Shen Linsu seemed to truly not care about anything anymore.
He cared nothing for the opinions of the martial arts world, nothing for his true nature being exposed to everyone, and nothing for what his biological daughter, Shen Yue, thought. He was single-mindedly focused on snatching the Heavenly Questioning Gold Token back from Chao Yue's hands; his eyes were fixed on Chao Yue as if he wanted to devour her.
Shen Yue stood there, her face deathly pale. Shen Miao looked bewildered, while Yi Xiaolan was so shocked by everything that she kept backing away, completely unwilling to accept it, muttering to herself, "How could this be?"
Shen Linsu's martial arts skills are naturally very high; he is definitely among the most powerful people in the martial arts world.
Although Chao Xianxue's martial arts skills were not bad, even top-notch, he was still young and somewhat inferior to Shen Linsu, especially in terms of experience. Moreover, he was currently leading Chao Yue, who had been ambushed, and was about to fight Shen Linsu, so his white clothes were already stained with blood.
But he never abandoned Chaoyue and tried to escape; instead, he protected her very well.
Chaoyue was also busy trying to get rid of the poison in her body. However, the poison was administered by Shen Miao, a master of poisons. Even though she was highly skilled in martial arts and had some powerful antidotes, the medicine was not effective.
Fortunately, she had exposed Shen Linsu's true colors earlier. Now that he looks like that, she doesn't need to say anything more; everyone knows whether she was lying or not.
Otherwise, if everyone present joined forces, Chao Xianxue might not have been able to handle the situation with her. Even so, with her martial arts skills as a disciple, she probably wouldn't have been able to hold out for long.
How to do?
While Chao Xianxue and Shen Linsu continued their battle, Chaoyue's gaze swept over the crowd present.
Her men are now incapacitated and cowering to one side. It's only because Shen Linsu's true colors have been exposed that her men are still alive and well, without anyone arresting them.
Soon, Chaoyue's gaze fell on Shen Yue, who was standing alone at the front. Her eyes brightened, but then dimmed again.
No, at this point, Shen Yue is no more important to Shen Linsu than the Heavenly Question Gold Fragment.
Her gaze swept over Shen Miao without pausing—she wasn't sure how much Shen Miao meant to Shen Linsu, and besides, Shen Miao was hard to control. Her eyes then fell on Yi Xiaolan, staring at her stomach for a moment before finally looking away.
It's no use. She only speculated about how Shen Linsu's previous wife died, but Shen Linsu's attitude was indeed subtle. He seemed to dote on Yi Xiaolan, but at a time like this, how many people would be willing to give up the Heavenly Questioning Gold Piece?
That's not enough. Even if all of these people were combined, they probably wouldn't be a threat to Shen Linsu.
Since they couldn't control Shen Linsu, they had to find another way to break the deadlock.
Suddenly, her gaze fell on Azhen, who was standing to the side watching the show, and her eyes lit up.
This is Xu Zhen. Xu Shan's love for this daughter is evident to all, and Xu Shan's character is also rare in the martial arts world.
Yi Xiaolan may not be a threat now, but what about his biological daughter?
"Xianxue, if you capture Xu Zhen, we can get away. With Xu Shan as your helper, Shen Linsu won't be able to stop you."
Asagi's voice, like a thread, reached Asagi Saki's ears.
Even if there were experts present, as long as Xianxue reacted quickly enough, she could catch Xu Zhen in an instant, since they were too close.
Once he realized what was happening, Xu Shan did move closer to Azhen, but upon closer inspection, he didn't actually seem that nervous. Having learned his lesson so many times before, in this chaotic situation, if his daughter didn't have some ability to protect herself, Xu Shan would definitely stay by her side every step of the way.
But Xu Shan didn't expect that everyone in the martial arts world would think of him as an easy target, and he couldn't help but feel a little angry.
He had already planned it all out; he was determined to teach the people from the Star Moon Palace a lesson.
However, when Xu Shandu arrived at Azhen's side, Chao Xianxue still did not make a move. While dealing with Shen Linsu's fierce attacks, he whispered to Chaoyue, "Master, I have no grudge against Miss Xu. I cannot do such a thing, nor do I deign to do such a thing."
"Foolish! Utterly foolish, you idiot!"
Snapped--
Chao Yue was furious and scolded Chao Xianxue. Taking advantage of a moment, she slapped Chao Xianxue across the face, leaving a red handprint on his cheek.
He remained meek and submissive, showing no anger, but focused solely on countering Shen Linsu's attacks. Even as he found himself at a disadvantage, he still managed to protect Chaoyue perfectly. The onlookers were all taken aback, and couldn't help but whisper among themselves, shaking their heads as they discussed.
"Pity."
"Chao Xianxue's personality is not suited for the Star Moon Palace."
"If only I were in a prestigious and upright sect, I wonder how wonderful that would be."
"Even in the Star Moon Palace, he has grown up to be this tall, which is enough to prove that this child has a strong will."
"Chaoyue is incredibly lucky to have such a disciple."
"If I weren't outmatched by Asahi, I would have snatched him away and raised him as my son."
"You wish."
Xu Shan's eyes also flashed with regret. He shared the same opinion as everyone else: it was a pity that Chao Xianxue was in the Star Moon Palace.
He never expected that Chaoyue could teach such a disciple. But each family has its own affairs. Even if it's a pity, he can't do much about it. At most, he can only sigh and say it's a pity.
"Master, don't worry, I will take you away." Chao Xianxue reassured her, a slight smile even on her face.
Chaoyue sneered, "You are no match for Shen Linsu. In a few dozen more rounds, you will be defeated. Then we won't be able to leave. How will we leave?"
"idiot."
Chaoyue's cursing angered everyone.
Unfortunately, they are now in a dog-eat-dog situation, and they cannot help Chaoyue, much less help Shen Linsu, whose true colors have been exposed.
"Does someone like Chaoyue deserve to be a master?" Shen Linsu seized the opportunity to say, "Chao Xianxue, if you leave her here, I will not hold anything against you."
Chao Xianxue: "Impossible."
Shen Linsu was furious, but unexpectedly, Chao Xianxue's internal energy suddenly surged the next moment, causing a commotion that forced the onlookers to retreat one after another.
It was Shen Miao, the expert in poisons, who reacted first: "He took a drug that greatly increases internal strength. His internal strength will increase exponentially, and Big Brother will no longer be his match. However, such drugs often have significant side effects. It's possible that after a short period of increased strength, he will be weak for a while and unable to use any internal strength at all. It's also possible that it will damage his foundation, or even that he will eventually lose all his martial arts skills."
Everyone was shocked, their eyes filled with regret, and they all shook their heads, feeling that Chao Yue had ruined such a martial arts genius as Chao Xianxue.
Chaoyue, however, showed no concern for the consequences of Chaoxianxue using this drug. Instead, she seemed relieved and stopped cursing.
Shen Linsu, however, was furious and summoned his men to rush forward.
With her internal energy surging, Chao Xianxue easily repelled them.
In the end, he successfully took Asahi away.
Chaoyue, who had escaped with her life, still managed to say, "Shen Linsu, this matter is not over today!"
"Chaoyue, that's what I should be saying! This isn't over yet!" Shen Linsu shouted to his men and chased after them, completely disregarding everything else. (End of Chapter)
