Chapter 53
The Beauty's Pride

The two old men of Xuanming were somewhat taken aback. They had originally assumed that Hua Wu Que was trapped in the ancient tomb and would never be able to appear here. They had deliberately provoked Li Mo Chou with their words, but they had suffered a great loss at the hands of Hua Wu Que and dared not offend him.

Lu Zhang Ke stopped He Bi Weng, who was about to fight desperately, and stepped forward slightly, cupping his fist and saying, "Young Master Hua, we were just joking with your wife. We had no ill intentions." He knew that this young man was ruthless and had superb martial arts skills. The two of them had been easily defeated by him working together, and they really didn't want to take any risks. They were prepared to run away if he made any move to harm them.

In fact, with their combined martial arts skills, even if they fought desperately, Hua Wu Que couldn't defeat them in a short period of time. The last time, they had been defeated because they had been careless. However, the two Xuanming Elders had always been unscrupulous and had been scared out of their wits by Hua Wu Que, so they lowered themselves and begged for mercy.

Hua Wu Que didn't speak, but raised his right hand, gathering his internal energy in his palm and striking out with a powerful move. A strong burst of internal energy swept up Hong Ling Bo, who was over there, and she landed in his arms.

He quickly tapped her acupoints a few times, unsealing her, and without paying any attention to her cries of "Master! Master!", he turned around and looked at Li Mo Chou. "Wife, what should we do with these two? You decide. Just nod your head, and I'll take their lives for you."

He was naturally carefree and didn't care if killing these two Xuanming Elders would have any impact on his future arrangements. He only cared about feeling good inside.

Hearing this, Li Mo Chou felt a mix of emotions. This was the first time in her life that she had been protected by a man, and she couldn't help but feel overwhelmed. She forced herself to regain her composure and said coldly, "No need. Li Mo Chou takes revenge, never relying on others. Today, I am indebted to you both. In the future, Li will surely repay you a hundredfold!"

She was a proud woman, and although she was slightly moved, she didn't want to be indebted to him for nothing.

The two Xuanming Elders had originally thought that today's matter would be impossible to resolve peacefully, and they were on guard, ready to escape. But they didn't expect this nun to have such a proud personality. Seeing that Hua Wu Que didn't object, they quickly bowed to Li Mo Chou in thanks and slowly backed away.

Hua Wu Que didn't stop them. After watching them go far, he sighed, "You've been living so hard, aren't you tired?" He truly admired Li Mo Chou. He had originally made up his mind to kill these two, but he didn't expect her to be so proud and arrogant that she actually let them go.

"Master, Master! Why didn't you let Grandmaster kill them?!" Hong Ling Bo was also puzzled. The two had been so sarcastic, which had angered the foolish girl quite a bit.

"Shut your mouth!" Li Mo Chou snapped, scolding her before turning to Hua Wu Que and saying seriously, "Young Master Hua, we both made mistakes in the past. You flirted with me several times, and I used my junior sister as bait to deceive you. You defamed my reputation in front of my junior sister. Li should have been irreconcilable with you, but today you saved me. These debts have been settled. Li Mo Chou is unfortunate and unworthy. I am truly not worthy of your kind of heaven-blessed talent. From now on, we will consider ourselves strangers." She then turned and left.

She really couldn't stay with Hua Wu Que any longer. Just now, she had been in a hurry and, to get away, she had lied to the two Xuanming Elders, saying that he was her husband. He must have seen everything. The previous misunderstanding had not been cleared up, and now they had made such a joke. How could she stay here anymore?

Hong Ling Bo didn't understand what was going on, so she looked around and whispered to Hua Wu Que, "Grandmaster, did you make Master angry? Why is she always avoiding you?"

Hua Wu Que smiled, "That's right, Grandmaster is a little bit flirtatious, and he always makes your Master jealous, so she is now throwing a tantrum and wants to separate from me. Are you on your Master's side, or Grandmaster's?"

"I don't know," Hong Ling Bo said, somewhat distressed. "Master saved my life, and Grandmaster also saved my life. I'm in a difficult position." She lowered her head and frowned, obviously battling in her mind, trying to think it through.

Hua Wu Que took a booklet out of his pocket and handed it to her. "If you still care about Grandmaster, then give this booklet to your Master. Don't provoke her on a daily basis. Be good."

"Hong Ling Bo, are you coming or not?!" Li Mo Chou had been gone for a while, but she saw her foolish disciple still chatting with Hua Wu Que, and she became angry, shouting at them. She was usually calm and graceful, but for some reason, whenever she was with Hua Wu Que, her emotions would be thrown off.

Hearing her call, Hong Ling Bo quickly took the booklet and hid it in her chest, saying to Hua Wu Que, "Grandmaster, I'll remember." She then trotted to catch up with Li Mo Chou. As she got closer, she said something to Li Mo Chou, but she was given a chestnut on the head by Li Mo Chou. She covered her head and followed behind her, looking aggrieved.

Hua Wu Que shook his head and laughed. He didn't expect the two master and disciple, who were so full of bitterness and hatred in the original work, to have such a strange kind of cuteness under his influence. It was an unexpected gain.

After watching them disappear from sight, he gathered his thoughts, determined to head towards Yanjing City, and mumbled to himself, "Zhao Mei Ren, Hua Wu Que has come to keep his promise!"
