illicit relationship

Not long after that, Bei Fenshui returned to the private room with Jianghe.

"Shifu.." Jianghe greeted Yahui instantly before turning to face Jufan and Shuren. "Grandmaster Jufan. Grandmaster Shuren."

However, none of them greeted him back. Not only did they ignore him, they even stared at him with sharp eyes. Their eyes were so sharp as if they wanted to cut his body into pieces.

'What is this? Why are they looking at me like that? Did I do something wrong?'

Countless questions emerged on his head.

Previously, Bei Fenshui only said that Yahui wanted to see him. That was why he had no idea what was going on.

"Jianghe, tell me. Why did you betray me?" Yahui asked coldly. His eyes gleamed with terrifying sharpness as he stared at his disciple.

"Shifu, what do you mean by that?" of course, Jianghe had no idea as to why Yahui suddenly accused him of betraying Yahui.

Ever since he became Yahui's disciple, he had never done anything that could embarrass Yahui, let alone betray him.

"Don't pretend you don't know anything!" Yahui's voice became colder than before. "Why did you betray me?"

"Shifu, I really don't understand what you mean. Why do you keep asking the same question? I have never done anything like that. I never betrayed you." like before, Jianghe denied Yahui's words because he never betrayed Yahui.

Because Jianghe kept denying it, Yahui gave Jie Ai's phone to Jianghe. "The person in this photo is you, right? Why did you meet Xiao Tian? Why did Xiao Tian give you money? If this is not betrayal, then what is it?"

Jianghe gritted his teeth when he saw the photo. 

'Who is slandering me?'

He was furious because someone had slandered him. However, he tried his best to remain calm or else; he would make his Shifu even angrier.

"Shifu, this person is not me. Maybe he is someone else who has the same appearance as me." Jianghe had never met Xiao Tian, so he was sure that the person in the picture was not him.

"You still want to deny it, huh?" of course, Yahui didn't believe Jianghe's words.

"Jianghe, we have been treating you nicely until now." Jufan spoke abruptly. "I did not think you would repay our kindness with a betrayal like this."

"Yes." Shuren added. "We always think of you highly because you are diligent, polite and talented in martial arts. It seems like we misjudged you all this time."

"Grandmasters, please believe me." Jianghe still didn't give up and tried his best to make Jufan and the others believe in his words.

"Shut up!" Yahui raised his voice. "The evidence is in your hands and you are still denying it?!"

At this moment, Lan Ruoxi was laughing in her head.

'Young master Xiao is indeed an evil person.'

Lan Ruoxi was pleased because, with this, they were able to reduce one more instructor. Even though they could only reduce one instructor, but that was more than enough because every instructor was a martial artist at the high-level master stage.

As for Jie Ai, she kept lowering her head.

'God please protect me. God please protect me. God please protect me.'

Jie Ai kept praying in her head, hoping that God would protect her later. She was afraid that Jianghe would beat her later.

Lan Ruoxi, who saw Jie Ai, walked closer towards Jie Ai. Of course, she knew that Jie Ai was scared because Jie Ai was not a martial artist.

Yahui then looked at Jie Ai and spoke, "Jie Ai, tell us what you saw last night."

Jianghe instantly turned his head towards Jie Ai.

'So, you are the one who is slandering me, huh?!'

Jianghe's eyes were filled with killing intent as he stared at Jie Ai.

This made Jie Ai's even more scared.

'God please protect me. God please protect me. God please protect me.'

Like before, she kept praying in her head.

Jufan, Yahui, and Shuren, who saw her, did not suspect her. They had guessed that Jie Ai would be scared because they knew she wasn't a martial artist.

"Tell us the truth. Don't worry. Nothing will happen to you later." in order to make Jie Ai feel secure, Yahui promised to protect her from his disciple later.

Upon hearing Yahui's words, she opened her mouth and replied, "Last night, I saw instructor Jianghe and Xiao Tian at th-"

However, before she had finished her words, Jianghe interrupted her. "Lie! Last night, I slept right away after arriving home because I was tired."

"Jianghe, let her finish her words first!" Yahui was unhappy when Jianghe interrupted Jie Ai's words.

Jianghe turned around and replied, "But Shifu, I really di-"

"Shut up!" Yahui didn't let Jianghe finish his words. "Jie Ai, continue."

"Xiao Tian gave money to instructor Jianghe in the park because instructor Jianghe leaked grandmasters' plans to Xiao Tian." Jie Ai replied, "Xiao Tian also said to instructor Jian-"

Like before, before Jie Ai had finished her words, she was interrupted by Jianghe again. "Stop slandering me! I have never met Xiao Tian until now, so all the words you say are lies!"

"But…but I saw both of you in the park with my own two eyes." Jie Ai lied to them again. "I even took a picture of bo-"

Jianghe, who could no longer hold back his anger, raised his right arm and wanted to hit Jie Ai. "Don't slander me!"

He wanted to teach Jie Ai a lesson because she kept slandering him.

Jie Ai instantly squeezed her eyes shut. She was not a martial artist, so she knew that she was not Jianghe's opponent.

She knew that whatever she did, she would not be able to block or dodge Jianghe's fist. At this moment, she only hoped that Lan Ruoxi would protect her.

"Impudent!" Yahui was enraged when his disciple attacked Jie Ai.

Before Jianghe could hit Jie Ai, he was kicked by Lan Ruoxi in his mid-torso.

*Uakkk….

Jianghe was thrown two meters back before falling to the floor.

His back hurt because his back hit the wooden table before falling to the floor. Not only that, but blood also came out from the corner of his mouth.

His eyes were filled with hatred as he stared at Lan Ruoxi. Of course, he knew that Lan Ruoxi was strong. However, he didn't expect that she was stronger than he thought.

At this moment, Jie Ai opened her eyes.

'Thanks, God. Nothing happened to me.'

She was relieved when she found out that Lan Ruoxi protected her earlier.

Lan Ruoxi then looked at Yahui and spoke, "Grandmaster Yahui, I'm sorry for hitting your disciple."

She needed to keep their friendship. That was why Lan Ruoxi apologized to Yahui immediately.

"It's fine." Yahui didn't mind it. "I'm glad nothing happened to Jie Ai."

'It seems like she is stronger than I thought.'

Yahui added in his head.

Because Lan Ruoxi's movement was so fast, Yahui was sure that she was stronger than Jianghe.

Like Yahui, Jufan and Shuren were also surprised earlier. They had never seen Lan Ruoxi fight, so they didn't know how strong she was.

Lan Ruoxi then looked at Jie Ai and asked, "Are you alright?"

"Yes." Jie Ai replied as she nodded her head. "Thank you for protecting me."

"Don't mind it." Lan Ruoxi smiled softly.

Yahui then looked at Bei Fenshui and spoke, "Bring him to the underground prison."

"Understood." Bei Fenshui replied before dragging Jianghe to the dungeon.

"Shifu, you have to believe me!" Jianghe shouted, "She is slandering me! I have never betrayed you until now."

Of course, Yahui ignored it because he became even more suspicious of Jianghe when Jianghe attacked Jie Ai.

-------

Nanli district, Blue Ice Lotus gang headquarters.

Currently, Xiao Tian was standing in front of his underlings. Because he wanted to destroy his enemies immediately, he told them that he would speed up their plans. He also said to them what they had to do later.

As he was talking to his underlings, his smartphone suddenly rang.

'Big sister Yun?'

When he found out the person who called him was Yun Xin Er, he immediately picked up the phone. "Hello?"

"Little brother, I hate you!" Yun Xin Er said after Xiao Tian picked up the phone.

The corner of Xiao Tian's lips twitched after hearing her words. "Eh! Why did you suddenly say something like this? Did I do something wrong?"

"Why didn't you come to see me?" of course, Yun Xin Er was joking when she said that she hated Xiao Tian. She said something like that because she missed him so much.

"Ah!" Xiao Tian finally understood the reason why Yun Xin Er suddenly said something like that. "Big sister Yun, it's not like I don't want to see you. it's just that now is not the right time to see you."

"Why? Tell me the reason." Yun Xin Er wanted to know the reason why Xiao Tian didn't see her in several days.

"It's like this." Xiao Tian began to tell her everything. "This is the reason why I can't meet you now. it's because I don't want to put you in a dangerous position."

"I see." Yun Xin Er finally understood the reason why Xiao Tian ignored her for several days. "So, when will you come to see me?"

"I don't know." Xiao Tian didn't know when he could crush his enemies. "But, I will come to see you as soon as possible."

"Good!" even though Yun Xin Er was a little disappointed because she could not meet Xiao Tian, but she was pleased after hearing his words. "This big sister will be waiting then."
