Chapter 560: Revised - 560 Banquet Invitation
Gong Lie is dead, dead without proof, and for the moment Mo Buwen and the Flower Demon also couldn’t do anything about Nan ZaiXu. But in the end, they were displeased because Nan ZaiXu had betrayed the alliance of the three.
They couldn’t openly accuse Nan ZaiXu of sending all these assassins, because if they tore the facade, no one would benefit. Some things are better left unsaid; just plant the seed of doubt, and believe that it would be difficult for Nan ZaiXu to gain favor with Xia Yanbing and the others.
Moreover, seeing Nan ZaiXu’s face desperately trying to tolerate, they felt much better. If you don’t stir trouble, you won’t get in trouble.
Indeed, Nan ZaiXu felt like his heart was bleeding; losing so many people, including a Nascent Soul Realm expert, yet gaining nothing in return—this feeling of lifting a stone only to drop it on one’s own foot was utterly unpleasant.
"Thanks to the three of you for your help," Xia Yanbing said gratefully.
Nan ZaiXu thought Xia Yanbing was thanking him, Mo Buwen, and Flower Demon. But when he looked up, he was immediately embarrassed; Xia Yanbing was thanking Xiahou Jun and the others.
Xiahou Jun and the other two put away their weapons and walked over, slightly bowing to Xia Yanbing. Mu Lingchen said, "Miss Xia, you’re too kind. Qin Yi was a hero of our generation, once leading us to fight far into the Southern Country, exterminating the Zhi Family. Now, even if he has unfortunately fallen, we definitely won’t allow these evil spirits to disturb his family."
Xia Yanbing hurriedly bowed in return. These three were acknowledged by Liu Yiren as friends, so they must be Qin Yi’s true friends.
"Brother Xiahou, why are you here?" Liu Yiren asked as she walked over.
Xiahou Jun smiled slightly: "After Qin Yi’s fall, we suspected some shameless people might come to disturb you. We intended to come earlier, but were delayed."
"You arrived just in time; otherwise, we would have been in danger this time," Liu Yiren said with a smile.
Actually, even if Xiahou Jun and the others hadn’t appeared, each of the women had a Death Replacement Talisman set up by Qin Yi, and even a Nascent Soul Realm expert might not have been able to break it.
