Chapter 1693: Confrontation

There was dead silence.

Chu Liuyue’s expression didn’t change as she smiled. “Oh right, in that case, I’ve done you a favor. Not only did you not thank me, but you even found trouble with me one after another… How interesting.”

The atmosphere became even stranger.

For a moment, Luo Yan didn’t know what expression to show. His expression was awkward and stiff.

He quickly glanced at Nan Yiyi and the others, and his heart sank.

He knew Nan Yiyi and the others too well. Since Shangguan Yue had said so, and although their expressions were ugly, they weren’t shocked… This meant that this was most likely true!

Nan Yiyi finally couldn’t help but refute. “Who knows if you dealt with that person? If you used any methods—”

“It’s my ability to use tricks, isn’t it?” Chu Liuyue smiled and interrupted her. The process isn’t important. The outcome is the most important!

Nan Yiyi choked.

Luo Yan took a deep breath. A true G.o.d… killed a legendary warrior?! How could this be possible? I have almost never heard of such a thing in the entire G.o.d Residence Realm!

Nan Suhuai was also stunned and hurriedly asked, “Yue’er, is what you said true?”

Chu Liuyue blinked. “Master, when have I ever lied to you? Rong Xiu, Father, and Tuan Zi can testify for me.”

Nan Suhuai thought to himself, You’ve lied to me many times…? However, I obviously can’t say this now.

Rong Xiu nodded. “What Yue’er said is true. We’re here this time because that person used Lord Chu Ning’s life to threaten Yue’er. He originally wanted to kill Yue’er, but he was just killed by her instead.”

Just killed by her instead?! Even Nan Suhuai couldn’t help but wince. Listen! Is this human language!? A true G.o.d killed a legendary warrior… Only you can say such things so calmly!

But although he was shocked, Nan Suhuai quickly accepted this. Ever since he accepted Yue’er as his disciple, he knew that as long as he was with her, nothing was impossible in this world.

This girl has even repaired the academy’s Heaven-Locking Formation. What is so strange about killing a legendary warrior?!

At this moment, Nan Suhuai actually felt that this was nothing unusual. He only had one thought left: Sometimes, my disciple is too hard working. It’s really a test of my heart.

He was silent for a moment before giving her a thumbs-up and saying seriously, “Yue’er, well done—as expected of my disciple! You have to tell Master what’s going on later!”

Chu Liuyue agreed readily. “Sure.”

Seeing the happy expressions of the master and disciple, Luo Yan felt as if a string had suddenly tightened in his mind! They are actually directly discussing this matter now? These people… are really too much! All of them don’t take us seriously at all!

“Everything is just your one-sided story! How can we believe it!?” Luo Yan finally couldn’t help but scold coldly.

This voice finally reminded Nan Suhuai of their existence.

He smiled. “Then, isn’t what you said just now one-sided? Why should we believe you?”

These words finally brought the two sides into a stalemate again.

…

Nan Yiyi bit her lip. I never expected things to develop to this extent. Isn’t it just dealing with Shangguan Yue? Why is it so difficult? Even now, I have yet to take revenge and have even completely implicated Uncle Luo Yan.

She wasn’t stupid.

This old man who suddenly appeared made Uncle Luo Yan very afraid. Otherwise, the latter wouldn’t have suppressed his anger and spoken so politely just now.

Unfortunately, the two sides still couldn’t come to an agreement.

Nan Yiyi secretly and quickly glanced at Luo Yan. Based on my past experience, this matter definitely can’t go as I had thought… However, I’m indignant!

Nan Yiyi reached out and grabbed Luo Yan’s sleeve, her voice extremely low. “Uncle Luo Yan… That thing is on her…”

Luo Yan was shocked and looked at her steadily. “Really?”

Nan Yiyi pursed her lips and nodded. “How would I dare to joke about such a thing? Previously, Elder Wu Peng used the geomantic compa.s.s to investigate; the result was the same. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have returned after leaving…”

Luo Yan’s gaze changed rapidly before he finally looked at Chu Liuyue. Initially, I wanted to make peace with the other party. After all, they’re not people to be trifled with. But if it is really as Nan Yiyi says… I’m afraid that I will have to consider this matter further…

…

Although Nan Yiyi’s voice was very low, n.o.body present was an ordinary person. Everyone heard her clearly.

Even if they aren’t annoyed, I am. Chu Liuyue’s eyes were filled with fatigue and impatience. “For the last time, I don’t know what you’re looking for, and that thing isn’t with me. Now, either you apologize or continue fighting. Just choose one!”

With Nan Suhuai around, their chances of winning were extremely high. Of course, they weren’t afraid of fighting them.

Nan Suhuai frowned. “Yue’er, what are they talking about?”

Chu Liuyue shook her head. If I knew, there would be no need to play riddles with them here.

After a moment, Luo Yan took a step forward.

“I have a suggestion. Shangguan Yue, if you’re willing to accept my investigation and confirm that the thing is indeed not with you, we can immediately apologize to you and prepare a generous gift to express our apology. If you’re unwilling, then… I’m afraid today’s matter will drag on for a long time.”

The words were half-negotiating, half-threatening.

Chu Liuyue frowned in displeasure.

Nan Suhuai’s expression turned cold. “Luo Yan—”

“I agree,” Chu Liuyue suddenly said. She mulled over the suggestion and decided she wasn’t losing out.

Although they had a chance of winning with her master around, the other party’s ident.i.ty and background weren’t simple. If they really fell out completely, it would probably not be easy to deal with in the end.

It would be best if this matter could be resolved easily.

She took a step forward. “Go ahead—”
