54: So much nonsense just to say hello, and then collect the body. Huh? Really collect it?
"That little girl, do you think His Highness the Divine Son might have taken a liking to her?"
Downstairs in the tavern, Jun Zizhuo and An Luoxin were waiting below. He furtively glanced upstairs and asked curiously.
His face was full of schadenfreude.
"Qin Family's Young Master, one of the Ten Chiefs next door, already has five marriage arrangements. I heard he's surrounded by a group of women when he goes out. Unlike our Divine Son, who is pure and abstinent, either studying the Dao or practicing at the God Tablet Platform, he should also take in a few more." Jun Zizhuo was typically one to enjoy a good show.
"No, Young Master is not that kind of person." An Luoxin stood there with downcast brows, perfectly composed, as if unconcerned by anything happening upstairs.
After several years of interaction, she had become more like a qualified attendant, and at the same time, she understood Jun Lingxiao better.
"Su Lianxue... this person indeed has a special charm, as if she can easily capture others' attention, but..."
"That's others."
"Young Master's gaze towards her is devoid of desire."
It even carried a hint of killing intent.
An Luoxin thought of this and let out a soft laugh, her voice like a spring breeze caressing a lake, gentle and pleasant to the ear.
If one looked closely, a faint, blood-red madness flashed in her eyes.
'Soon... it will be soon... just wait a little longer...'
...Meanwhile, upstairs.
"What else could I do by asking about his news? Naturally..."
"I want to kill him."
Su Lianxue's expression changed several times upon hearing this.
Because she could tell that the Young Master from the Upper Realm in front of her was not lying; he truly harbored killing intent.
Thinking this, she looked up, about to say something, when she saw him looking out the window again, and her heart felt very uneasy.
This was the feeling of accompanying a tiger.
The other party's capriciousness left her somewhat at a loss.
As a Saintess, she had always been high and mighty, never having been treated this way. But unexpectedly, at this moment, she felt no desire to resist.
[Ding! Su Lianxue's mindset has changed, gaining 400 Harvest Value.]
"Your Excellency is joking." Su Lianxue's voice and the System's prompt sounded simultaneously.
An adult from the Upper Realm specifically talking about killing Han Feng, an unknown good-for-nothing, naturally no one would believe it if word got out, and Su Lianxue was no exception.
She only took it as a joke.
Jun Lingxiao chuckled at this, not answering, and casually asked another question:
"Where are the most people in this city?"
Since he was here, he definitely had to find some check-in spots.
"People...?" Su Lianxue's eyes momentarily showed some confusion, but she still honestly replied, "Although there are many people in Guan Nan City, they are not very concentrated. The most people are usually when the various Holy Lands recruit Disciples."
"Coincidentally, our Guan Xue Holy Land has begun its triennial Disciple recruitment ceremony, and that's where the most people are."
As Su Lianxue spoke, she occasionally looked up to steal a glance at Jun Lingxiao's expression. The Guan Xue Holy Land's triennial Disciple recruitment ceremony indeed had the most people; she wasn't lying. But other Holy Lands also had recruitment ceremonies! She was trying to subtly lead Jun Lingxiao to her home.
"Guan Xue Holy Land..."
Jun Lingxiao opened the map and, sure enough, unlocked a map related to Guan Xue Holy Land. It was indeed a high-value check-in point.
He nodded slightly.
But he had already checked in today and received a piece of trash, some kind of stone, which seemed to be for pets.
He would eventually break it down for a lottery draw.
At this point, Su Lianxue was no longer useful, so Jun Lingxiao directly told her she could leave.
Then he also wanted to go out for a stroll himself.
The two went downstairs one after another, leaving Jun Zizhuo to hold the fort. Jun Lingxiao took An Luoxin and wanted to go out and look around.
This was his first time in the Lower Realm.
And Su Lianxue, of course, silently followed behind.
The proud daughter of heaven, who always stood in the most conspicuous position, could only stand at the very back in front of these people, making her sigh with emotion.
However, thanks to this, she overheard some information.
'So... this Young Master's surname is Jun...' she thought to herself.
Then suddenly, her peripheral vision caught a somewhat familiar figure.
As the group of three exited the tavern, they encountered a graceful Young Master.
The Young Master appeared to be about seventeen, elegant and poised, holding a black fan that he swayed. Every movement exuded grace and composure, and his smile was like the spring sunshine, warm and bright.
Behind him were four younger brothers, clearly the Young Master of some prominent Family.
He seemed to have been waiting for a long time. Seeing Su Lianxue emerge, he immediately led his people to greet her, his eyes constantly lingering on her.
"Young Miss Su, we meet again."
"And who might this be...?"
It was clear this person was Su Lianxue's suitor. After looking at her for a while, he finally shifted his gaze to Jun Lingxiao.
Su Lianxue frowned slightly, not daring to speak. And when he saw that Jun Lingxiao didn't answer, he began to talk to himself even more.
He even directly cupped his hands towards Jun Lingxiao and began to introduce himself.
"I am Fan Zuo, the second Young Master of the Fan Family, one of the four great Families of Guan Xue City."
"Presumably, you are the important figure who has caused such a stir throughout Guan Nan City today. It's an honor to meet you. Your presence in our Guan Nan City is an honor for Zhongzhou, for our Guan Nan City. If you don't mind, I know a few fun places, and even beauties..." The one calling himself Fan Zuo kept talking, while Jun Lingxiao listened with a faint smile, nodding occasionally, as if quite pleased.
But then suddenly, Fan Zuo's eyes only saw a flash of white light, and then he abruptly widened his eyes, as if he still didn't know what had happened.
"Uh..."
The next moment, Fan Zuo subconsciously touched the fresh blood gushing from his neck. It was then that he realized he couldn't utter a single word.
After swaying for a moment, he fell straight down.
His handsome head also rolled to the side, his eyes wide open, completely unable to believe that the other party would suddenly attack him.
"Murder!"
"Murder!"
"The Young Master of the Fan Family... is dead!"
"Young Master!"
Immediately, the surroundings erupted into chaos. The surprise of the onlookers, and the group of younger brothers behind Fan Zuo, were even more clueless about what had happened. They could only stare blankly at their Young Master's corpse until the blood flowed to their feet before they reacted.
Their Young Master had been killed!
"!!!"
An Luoxin chuckled at this scene, while Su Lianxue, watching, gasped, unable to believe what had transpired.
She could only see that the adult in front of her lightly tapped the sword at his waist with his finger. After a flash of white light, Fan Zuo was decapitated... What kind of technique was this??
Fan Zuo was a True Disciple of her Guan Xue Holy Land, and his Family was wealthy. He had grown up consuming Medicinal Pills, yet he was so easily defeated.
One moment he was smiling faintly as if enjoying himself, the next he had beheaded the person who was fawning over him... Su Lianxue's heart trembled, and a chill shot from the soles of her feet to her head!!
"Just say hello, why so much nonsense?"
Jun Lingxiao's expression remained unchanged. As he spoke, his gaze at Fan Zuo's corpse carried a hint of regret. After saying that, he looked at the group of younger brothers.
"Collect the body."
A light sentence fell, and the four, scared out of their wits, pushed each other forward, wanting to carry their Young Master away. One person even, despite his trembling legs, picked up Fan Zuo's unclosed eyes head.
"You're really collecting them?"
Jun Lingxiao feigned surprise, calling out. Then his finger lightly tapped the sword hilt again, and after a flash of white light, four heads flew up neatly.
Having done all this, Jun Lingxiao turned to look at Su Lianxue, leaning forward slightly, with a hint of confusion and questioning.
His face still held that faint smile she couldn't decipher.
"Do I look like someone who indiscriminately kills innocents?"
