Your Majesty, Please Stop!

Chapter 109: Su Miaojin vs. Huiruqing, Transcendent's Rescue

Su Miaojin's footsteps didn't stop, and her words were calm and composed, questioning rather than impulsive, leaving people unsure of how to respond.

At this moment, Huiruqing, who had been silent nearby, suddenly leaped up, surrounded by dazzling green Five Elements wood energy. As her True Qi floated in the air, snowflakes followed her every move, creating a terrifying momentum and snow vortex.

Then she headed straight for Xin Zhuo.

With a sword cry of "Crystal Spirit," her long sword pointed directly at Xin Zhuo's brow.

"Shengping, I was still talking. It's truly impolite."

Su Miaojin's brow furrowed slightly, and with a light step, she stepped on a patch of snow and leaped into the air, like a startled swan, appearing in front of Huiruqing in a flash.

The snowflakes and the magnificent momentum above the entire academy instantly arrived, stirring like flowing water.

But the flowing water formed three sharp swords.

"Buzz—"

Several zhang above the ground, the two women briefly hovered in the air, their robes fluttering, snowflakes flying in the sky, and True Qi surging, making it difficult to see clearly.

"Ding ding ding—"

Three ear-piercing chimes.

Huiruqing had already landed, retreating five steps, her face pale, spitting out a mouthful of blood, staining the snow.

Su Miaojin also landed, taking a step back, her face slightly pale.

The outcome was clear!

"Princess!"

Li Neishi and a group of court guards immediately surrounded Huiruqing.

Li Neishi shouted angrily, "Princess of Nanli, how dare you injure Princess's Highness? Is your Nanli Army rebelling?"

"Forcing the Nanli Army to rebel, a mere princess can't bear the consequences!"

Su Miaojin casually flicked her sleeve and smiled gracefully.

Huiruqing suddenly pushed away Li Neishi, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and looked at Su Miaojin coldly. "I've heard that the eldest daughter of the Nanli County King, born to Pavilion of Celestial Secrets' Elder Shangguan, nurtured by the Qingyu Rain for seven days, truly extraordinary.

But I don't understand, as a noble princess, why did you, who was once captured and humiliated by bandits, protect him?"

Su Miaojin chuckled, "How can you ask such a question? Who was it that was affectionate with Xin Zhuo, almost to the point of entrusting their life to him? Does anyone not know about this? Although I don't understand your intentions, I know you have a treacherous heart, which is laughable!"

Huiruqing trembled, took a deep breath, unable to retort, and remained silent.

At this moment, a voice of an old man came from a nearby attic, "Even Nanli cannot protect Xin Zhuo. If I want to kill him, who can stop me? Has Su Wuji come in person?

I can spare this girl a little face. Tell me your reasons."

"I've seen Mr. Dongfang!"

Su Miaojin bowed and calmly said, "First, Xin Zhuo was born in a bandit stronghold, but whether it was Xinao Tian or himself, he has never actively harmed others or committed any outrageous acts.

Second, Xin Zhuo has injured some people in the past, but it was all out of necessity, unintentional mistakes.

Third, Xin Zhuo recently helped the Great Zhou Army repel the Eastern Barbarians and rebels, charging into battle and killing the Eastern Barbarian prince. This is something that everyone has witnessed, a great achievement outweighing any faults.

Fourth, Xin Zhuo has presented the "Tao Te Ching" and "The Art of War" to the Fufeng Mansion, which has been heard of. These extraordinary works have contributed to the Autumn Palace and the state.

Fifth, Heaven has bestowed its benevolence. The Autumn Palace and the Water Moon Temple have been nurturing Good Fortune. Why couldn't they turn a mountain bandit into Good Fortune? Influence a bandit leader? Isn't that laughable?

Considering all these reasons, this princess cannot find a reason to kill Xin Zhuo!"

Silence fell all around!

Even Huiruqing, Lifu Zi, and Qin Yuliang fell silent because the concept of the Dragon Qi of Misfortune was something that couldn't be openly discussed. Although it did exist, it was somewhat elusive.

After a while, the voice of the old man in the attic sighed, "Even so, I still can't spare him. You don't need to say more..."

Su Miaojin interrupted, "If that's the case, why not listen to me?"

The old voice said, "Speak!"

Su Miaojin glanced at Xin Zhuo, who had been silent all along, and said, "This princess doesn't know why you fear Xin Zhuo so much and must kill him, but... a useless person should not pose a threat."

It would be better to... disable his martial arts, leaving him paralyzed for life, harmless to humans and animals, and let him live and die on his own, how about that?"

Silence!

The quietness around was terrifying.

Li Fuzi, Qin Yuli, and the others exchanged glances and fell into contemplation.

Hui Ruqing looked at Xin Zhuo, her eyelids slightly drooping, and ultimately said nothing.

"It should be so!"

"The Bai family of Baiya Prefecture guarantees!"

"The student is willing to use the 30,000 Northern Latitude Army of the Northern Latitude Command as a guarantee!"

"The student's eldest granddaughter of the Grand Tutor's Mansion guarantees for Mr. Xin!"

...

Bai Xuanji, Helian Sheng, Li Xiyue, and a group of Yikui students all saluted.

The heavy snow continued to fall, and the surroundings remained quiet and silent.

After a long time, a voice of old age came from the attic: "So be it!"

As soon as the voice fell, two faint True Qi, one gray and one white, suddenly burst out from deep within the attic.

Although the True Qi was small, it carried an extremely terrifying and sharp momentum, heading straight for Xin Zhuo.

There was no way to dodge or avoid it!

Amidst a muffled groan, Xin Zhuo was sent flying, crashing heavily onto the snowy ground.

Blood quickly stained the ground, and his limbs immediately became weak and powerless.

The methods of the Grand Great Master not only disabled his martial arts, but also severed his meridians and depleted his True Qi, leaving him a useless person for life!

Isn't this punishment even more terrifying than death?

The surroundings remained quiet.

Su Miaojin's eyes flashed with a hint of worry.

Hui Ruqing's mouth curved into a smile, a smile of either coldness or the achievement of her goal, as she walked away.

The light in front of Xin Zhuo gradually disappeared, but a smile appeared on his lips, a smile of relief.

...

"Boss?"

"Boss..."

After who knows how long, several hours or maybe days, his head was splitting with pain, and his ears were filled with shouts, causing his head to ache.

Xin Zhuo slowly opened his eyes, and what came into view were the anxious and delighted faces of Cui Ying'er, Han Qiniang, Huang Dagui, and others.

This was the gathering hall of the Fulong Gang's stronghold, the environment remained the same, as if nothing had happened, just like when a group of small bandits were barely surviving.

He pondered for a moment, trying to move his limbs. The bandages were wrapped too tightly, his whole body was sore, extremely painful, as if he had been electrocuted and crushed by a millstone. His body no longer felt like his own, and his head was also a bit dizzy.

"How long has it been?" he asked, his voice hoarse and muffled.

Cui Ying'er's eyes were red, sitting beside him and hugging him, chokingly saying, "It's been eighteen days!"

"Yes, a full eighteen days. It will be dawn soon, it will be the Ninth Heaven!" Murong Xiu and Huang Dagui approached with joy, nervously rubbing their hands.

"If the boss doesn't wake up soon, we will really have to go with you." Han Qiniang desperately wiped away her tears, but couldn't wipe them away completely.

Xin Zhuo looked at the dawn breaking outside, and after a while, he asked, "What happened afterwards?"

He meant what happened afterwards.

Cui Ying'er said, "After the boss was injured, we all returned to the stronghold with the help of Miss Su Miaojin. Those people didn't trouble us, but you..."

She turned her head and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, pretending to be nonchalant as she smiled, "It's okay, let's take care of the boss from now on. Let's leave this place!"
