Chapter 585 Not one person
Snapped!
As Fan Xiaojian waved his hand, the whip struck Lin Ping's shoulder heavily, tearing his clothes to shreds and leaving a shocking trail of blood.
"To tell or not to tell?" Fan Xiaojian asked sarcastically.
"Go to hell!" Lin Ping spat a mouthful of pale yellow phlegm onto Fan Xiaojian's face, his eyes darkening.
Fan Xiaojian touched his face with his palm, and his whole face felt sticky.
"You brat, I think you're asking for it." Fan Xiaojian suddenly scrutinized Lin Ping's handsome face: "He certainly has a handsome face. I wonder if anyone would still like him after a few cuts on it?"
After saying that, Fan Xiaojian took out a dagger and held it against Lin Ping's face, waving it around.
"Try cutting it yourself?" Lin Ping's X-ray instantly activated, and a terrifying force entered Fan Xiaojian's mind through his eyes.
His gaze became vacant, his whole body trembled, and a wet liquid appeared in his crotch.
Since Lin Ping advanced to the Black Lotus Realm, his X-rays have undergone many changes. Not only can energy be clearly observed, but they can also induce mild hallucinations.
The closer you are, the stronger the feeling.
Fan Xiaojian pressed himself against Lin Ping's face, and all the energy from the X-ray entered his body.
From his terrified expression, you could tell what was on his mind.
After a long while, Fan Xiaojian finally came to his senses. His clothes were soaked with cold sweat and smelled of urine, making him look extremely disheveled.
"What just happened? Why did I bow down to this kid?" Fan Xiaojian forcefully pulled his gaze away from Lin Ping, breathing heavily as he tried to remain calm.
"No matter what kind of sorcery you use, you're doomed today." Fan Xiaojian's face was contorted with rage as he forcefully slashed at Lin Ping's cheek with a sharp dagger.
Boring!
A cold sword, accompanied by a gust of wind, came and knocked Fan Xiaojian's dagger away.
Guo Zhixi appeared before him with cold eyes, her jade-like fingers gripping his throat like eagle claws.
"Did you inflict the injuries on my junior brother?" Guo Zhixi asked expressionlessly, like a killing machine.
Fan Xiaojian was of similar strength to her, but he had just been terrified by Lin Ping, which greatly reduced his strength. He was no match for Guo Zhiqian.
"Hmph, I'm not only going to beat him up, I'm going to slash his face!" Fan Xiaojian sneered confidently.
He was the head disciple of the Enforcement Hall, while Lin Ping was a prisoner.
Appropriate use of punishment is in accordance with the rules of Lotus Palace, and even Guo Zhixi has no right to stop it.
"Which hand?" Guo Zhixi's voice was like a thousand-year-old ice cave, and Fan Xiaojian felt as if he were in it.
“I am the head disciple of the Enforcement Hall, and I have the right to interrogate this undercover agent. You have no right to stop me,” Fan Xiaojian said defiantly, seemingly expressing more than just Guo Zhixi’s anger.
"Which hand are you asking me?" Guo Zhixi repeated her previous question.
"If you don't move aside, I will definitely report to my master and have you arrested as well!" Fan Xiaojian continued, courting death.
"Since you won't talk, then I'll cut off your hands!"
After speaking, Guo Zhixi's palm strike landed hard on Fan Xiaojian's left wrist, immediately eliciting a sharp, pig-like scream.
"W-what do you want to do?"
Fan Xiaojian was terrified, not expecting Guo Zhixi to be so crazy.
"You didn't make a choice, so I have no choice but to cut off your hands!"
Another palm strike shattered Fan Xiaojian's right hand as well.
Fan Xiaojian's hands hung limply, howling in pain, his eyes filled with fear.
"Senior brother, what's wrong?" Several disciples outside the door came running at the sound of the voice. They were all startled by Fan Xiaojian's disheveled appearance and dared not approach him.
If Fan Xiaojian is already like this, then they are even less likely to be a match for Guo Zhixi.
"Get out! Don't let me see you again," Guo Zhixi said sharply.
"You, you wait! I'm going to inform my master and have you arrested too!" Fan Xiaojian said as he ran, terrified that Guo Zhiqian would strike again.
“You shouldn’t have broken his hands,” Lin Ping said, shaking his head.
Guo Zhixi's behavior seriously violated the palace rules. Mei Jiecao could arrest her directly, and even Chu Rujun had no right to stop her.
"I learned it from the adults." Guo Zhixi pouted, her cold and ruthless demeanor completely gone.
Not long ago, Guo Zhixi was harassed by hooligans, and Lin Ping said the same thing and did the same thing.
"How can these be the same? How can you still laugh?" Lin Ping sighed.
The guy who harassed Guo Zhixi was just a thug; he deserved to be beaten. He wouldn't dare seek revenge again, even if he had the guts.
However, Fan Xiaojian, as the head of the Enforcement Hall, used his power to arrest Guo Zhiqian.
"With the great battle at Lotus Palace imminent, they wouldn't dare do anything to me," Guo Zhixi said casually.
She is the daughter of the city lord of Jiangcheng and a key figure in this great battle. Even if she violates the palace rules, she will not be severely punished.
"Can we avoid this battle?" Lin Ping asked seriously.
This was the first time he had discussed this topic directly with Guo Zhixi.
"Didn't the adults say that we are on different sides and can't stop anything?" Guo Zhixi smiled faintly, clearly feeling a pang of heartache.
She never wanted to fight Lin Ping.
"So you want to keep me in the Lotus Palace forever?" Lin Ping asked rhetorically.
“With your strength, you were able to escape during the last mission. The only one who could stop you was your senior sister,” Guo Zhixi said sadly.
She was naturally happy that Lin Ping was willing to stay, but he wasn't staying because of her.
"My lord, you'd better run away quickly, Fan Xiaojian will not let you go." Guo Zhixi said with tears in her eyes as she helped him untie the rope.
She wasn't afraid of the punishment she would face for letting Lin Ping go; she was only afraid that this parting would be the last time they would see each other, and even more afraid that the next time they wanted to meet, it would be as enemies.
"If I just run away like this, what kind of man am I? Since we have different positions, let's each stick to our own positions, and I will solve this problem in my own way."
Lin Ping said firmly.
He was indeed a cunning man, but he didn't want to take advantage of Guo Zhixi's feelings.
Even if we are to win this battle, we must win it fair and square, not by asking Guo Zhixi, our enemy, for help.
“I understand your intentions, sir, but this is the Lotus Palace, and no one can save you!” Guo Zhixi reminded her again.
Whether Lotus Palace is cold-blooded and ruthless is not a definition given by others, but a collection of actions by the disciples within the palace. You are willing to help me, my wife is willing to help me, even my master and many outer disciples are willing to help me, so what is there to fear even if it is a dragon's den or a tiger's lair?
Lin Ping always stuck to his own ideas.
Before entering Lotus Palace, he also thought it was a cold-blooded killer organization, but later he learned that many of its disciples were actually quite capable and not just simple killing machines.
This greatly benefited his plans.
"I appreciate your kind gesture, and I'd like to give you a gift in return," Lin Ping said with a faint smile.
"A gift?" Guo Zhixi stared wide-eyed with curiosity.
She was a little shy when Lin Ping asked her to take off her clothes.
"My lord, there are people outside the door. You must hurry up and come here!" Guo Zhixi stepped forward, her eyes slightly closed.
"Then I'll begin." Lin Ping stared at Guo Zhixi's fair skin, and pulled out a silver needle from somewhere...
