241: Dao Jue

“Even if I die, I won’t give you the item!”

The woman clutched the long sword in her hand, her face tense but exceptionally resolute.

“Alright, since you’re looking for death, don’t blame us. Brothers, I want her alive! We’ll take turns later!”

The masked man leading them sneered, and the faces of his subordinates behind him were filled with excitement.

“Tsk tsk tsk, don’t worry, Boss.”

“Hehehe, this Young Miss Lin is so fair-skinned and tender, truly delightful.”

“Exactly, being able to play with Young Miss Lin is truly a blessing for three lifetimes.”

“......”

The group chuckled, then walked towards Lin Yueru.

Though she was afraid, she remained vigilant.

Suddenly.

The sound of a carriage approaching interrupted their actions.

Several masked bandits turned their heads, only to see a carriage with two middle-aged men driving it, their bodies showing no trace of True Qi fluctuations, appearing like ordinary people.

The carriage was incredibly spacious, and the two horses were exceptionally majestic and powerful, clearly not ordinary steeds.

“Who are you people!”

The leading masked man grunted.

He stared intently at Su Changqing’s carriage, a hint of malevolence in his eyes.

His subconscious told him that the owner of this carriage was not simple, so he didn’t rush to act.

Inside the carriage, a young voice replied.

“Just passing through.”

Just passing through?

The masked man pondered for a moment, then said in a low voice:

“In that case, please Young Master, leave quickly. We won’t bother you any further.”

The masked man quickly spoke.

He was unsure of Su Changqing and the others’ strength and didn’t want to cause any extra trouble, so he decided to let them go.

After all, he was only here to rob Lin Yueru; there was no need to cause any other problems.

“Let’s go.”

Inside the carriage, Su Changqing spoke indifferently.

He had no interest in playing the hero; he was too lazy to do anything that didn’t benefit him.

Even if the other party was as beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal, what did it have to do with him?

If it were Revered Master or his two Senior Sisters, he naturally wouldn’t hesitate, but the other party was merely a stranger.

“Yes!”

Ape Mang nodded, expressionlessly driving the carriage forward.

Seeing this, the woman suddenly panicked and quickly said:

“Wait… wait a moment, Young Master, I am Lin Yueru, the Young Miss of the Lin Family in Luo Yun City. My Lin Family has suffered a great calamity, surrounded and attacked by villains. I implore Young Master to lend a hand. My Lin Family will surely repay you generously.”

Lin Yueru knew that the young man inside the carriage was her last hope.

However, Su Changqing was not interested in any of this.

He did not speak, and the carriage continued to move.

Lin Yueru immediately grew anxious. She quickly pulled out the Legacy treasure from her person, a dark dao jade that looked like a fragment, with faint flowing light shimmering upon it.

“Young Master, this item is my Lin Family’s Legacy treasure. If Young Master is willing to help, I am willing to give my Lin Family’s treasure to Young Master!”

Lin Yueru seemed to have made up her mind, speaking with determination.

Upon seeing the dao jade, the leading masked man seemed to grow anxious.

“Quick, you few, hurry and act!”

He quickly ordered his subordinates to move.

“Yes!”

The few of them didn’t hesitate and quickly charged towards Lin Yueru.

Inside the carriage, Su Changqing suddenly heard the System’s voice.

【Ding! A dao jade fragment has been detected. If Fusion is performed, the Host can obtain a large amount of rewards.】

The System’s voice suddenly rang in his ears.

Su Changqing was startled.

dao jade?

This was the first time he had heard these two words.

But the System’s reaction indicated that this item was very important.

And it was likely of extraordinary origin.

After pondering for a moment, Su Changqing spoke:

“Ape Mang, bring that woman over.”

“Yes!”

Ape Mang acknowledged the command, his figure flashing, and he appeared directly in front of Lin Yueru.

With a single palm strike, all the masked men in front of him were annihilated.

The terrifying aura sent shivers down the spine of the leading masked man.

Ape Mang grunted, bringing down a palm. The leading man was killed by a single slap before he could even speak.

To him, these Martial Artists were no different from ants; their strength was too weak, completely useless.

“You, come here. My Saint wants to see you.”

Saint... Saint?

Lin Yueru was stunned, also intimidated by Ape Mang’s presence. She dared not make any small movements and obediently walked to the front of the carriage.

Before long.

Su Changqing slowly descended from the carriage, a small, snake-like pet coiled around his hand. His features were exquisite, and his entire being exuded the aura of an exiled Immortal.

Perfect!

This was the first time Lin Yueru had seen such a perfect person.

“Greetings... Greetings, Saint.”

Although she didn’t know which family’s Saint Su Changqing was, Lin Yueru knew that the person before her was certainly not simple in origin, so she respectfully bowed with great caution.

Su Changqing nodded, saying indifferently:

“Let me see the dao jade in your hand.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Yueru, though reluctant, honestly handed it over.

After all, the other party’s background and strength were unfathomable; a mere servant had effortlessly killed several Martial Artists who were besieging her.

Such strength was truly terrifying.

“Yes!”

Lin Yueru carefully walked to Su Changqing’s front and then handed the dao jade to Su Changqing.

The moment he received the dao jade, the System seemed to become excited.

Su Changqing knew that this item must be of great use.

He glanced at Lin Yueru:

“I’ll take this item. Consider it payment for saving your life.”

With the transaction complete, Su Changqing had no other thoughts.

If it weren’t for this dao jade, he wouldn’t have helped at all.

Hero?

He had no such notion.

At best, he was more suited to being a great villain.

“Saint, this humble girl has one more request. My Lin Family has suffered a great calamity, besieged by the City Lord’s Mansion and the Mo Family, who massacred thousands of my Lin Family members and seized our foundation. This humble girl implores Saint to act and avenge my Lin Family. This humble girl is willing to be Saint’s maidservant, to be at your beck and call from now on, through mountains of daggers and seas of fire, without any complaints.”

Lin Yueru lightly bit her lip, knelt on the ground, and spoke resolutely.

As long as she could avenge her Lin Family, she was willing to be a maidservant.

Even if it meant working tirelessly for a lifetime, like an ox or a horse.

Su Changqing’s expression was a little strange upon hearing this.

Avenge you?

Take you as a maidservant?

How can you want both?

One must know, given Su Changqing’s status, if he wanted maidservants, those first and second-rate forces on the Heavenly Martial Continent would go crazy, eager to send their own Saintesses or direct daughters to be his maidservants.

In other words.

Su Changqing’s maidservants would have a higher status than the Saintesses and direct daughters of the Human Race on the Heavenly Martial Continent.

He smiled and said:

“You’re still a bit lacking to be my maidservant. As for revenge, that’s your private matter and has nothing to do with me. I have no interest in such disputes.”

“However, for the sake of this dao jade, I can point you in the right direction.”
