Chapter 381: Become a Castaway

ks that Zhào Jǐngchéng has a much higher chance of hitting the prey than anyone else, so she adopts the strategy of casting a wide net and prepares some dried food cakes for him as an advance payment...The man was certain he was very careful, and he had great confidence in his driving skills. He also had something from his father that could completely allow him to blend in with the crowd. So how was he caught!

Unbeknownst to him, it was precisely the gift from his mage father that allowed Ripple to confirm his malicious intentions.

"It was you who blinded my father, I want your eyes."

The man, upon being recognized, finally revealed a cruel expression. He threw the wine glass in his hand away. A surge of Xuan power within him shook, trying to break free from the ripple's control.

The ripples didn't use any Xuan force at all, but directly retaliated with brute force. With a punch to the opponent's dantian, he made the man who was gathering Xuan force around him gasp in pain and fall off the stool.

With a clinking sound, she drew the attention of everyone in the bar. A woman in a tight red halter dress, holding a glass of wine, sashayed over to Ripple's side with a seductive smile and said,

"Ripples, what's wrong with you tonight Such a fiery temper. Such a handsome young man is courting you, and you wouldn't even accept him! You beat him up instead That's so unlike your usual elegance."

"Red wine, you see, I'm not really drinking for the sake of the alcohol!"

Ripple smiled and said.

This Hong Lian was originally one of the few rivals the original owner had, but their rivalry was a benign one. After the original owner's accident last life, it was Hong Lian who first noticed something was wrong and even advised her. She also looked down on Gao Yang, that white-eyed wolf.

When the original body was betrayed by her apprentice and junior sister, Hong Lian secretly helped her several times, allowing the original body to persevere for so long even after losing seventy percent of her Xuanli.

Ripple really liked people who were clear-cut and principled, so she spoke to Honglian with a bit more casualness.

Hong Lian swayed the goblet in his hand and kicked the man huddled on the ground with his foot, deliberately singing a discordant tune.

"Don't be afraid, tell me and I, Hong Lian, will help you sort it out!"

The man finally eased the pain and stood up, holding onto the nearby table. He looked around and realized that everyone around him was watching the commotion, but no one was truly willing to help him.

There is an unspoken rule among wizards that when they have a conflict, no one will intervene unless they understand the situation. This is just like now.

"Wu Lianyi, you blinded my father!"

“Aren’t you and your father the ones who followed government officials, tracked me down to my home, and then sent evil spirits to attack me Dare I say I can’t fight back It was your father who was inferior in skill, the evil spirits were destroyed and retaliated, how dare you come to me for my eyes.”

Ripples stated the facts in a calm tone.

The man's face had a moment of unnaturalness, and it was precisely this fleeting expression that alerted the old foxes watching him. They all began to scrutinize the man.

Wizards who take on covert missions like this are usually not from reputable, traditional mystical backgrounds. They often have connections with practitioners of dark arts. So everyone started searching their memories for someone who fit the description.

The man found himself in a dire situation. With a flick of his hand, he pulled out a sphere from his sleeve and crushed it. A formation appeared beneath his feet, and the next second, the man vanished before everyone's eyes.

"Wow, that's quite the big move, using an escape talisman."

Hong Lian's peach blossom eyes twitched, glancing at Lian Yi with some confusion. This newcomer had been making quite a stir recently, attracting such people.

"What did you do How did you provoke such a sorcerer"

Hong Lian directly asked.

"It wasn't my good apprentice who got into trouble. She took on a case at a haunted house and almost lost her life. I had to clean up the mess and expel her from Xuan Kun Gate. No more wiping her messes for me."

Liàn yī took a sip of the red wine in her glass, giving a simple explanation.

"I heard about it, and I wasn't entirely sure at first, but I have to say I'm impressed by your decisiveness this time."

Hong Lian sat next to Lian Yi, looking as if she was ready for a good chat.

"It wasn't entirely unexpected. I had indulged her for so long, and it seems my leniency bred ambition. She teamed up with my dear apprentice to plot against me. If I don't retaliate now, I'll be finished."

"I told you a long time ago, your apprentice is a white-eyed wolf, completely unreliable, but you wouldn't believe me."

Honglian brushed her short, smooth hair behind her ear and muttered something after.

We are competitors, I thought you were envious of my disciples and that's why you didn't believe me.

After this, it proves that your vision is still very sharp.

Ripple smiled and praised Crimson's work.

Hong Lian immediately beamed with joy, there was nothing that made her happier than getting acknowledged by her opponent.

"Master!"

A voice interrupted the two people who were chatting happily.

The ripples don't need to look back to know it's Gao Yang, that scumbag.

"Well, well! Isn't this the very wolf you raised"

Hong Lian wore a look of gleeful anticipation, and directly in front of Gao Yang, she said:

Gao Yang looked incredulous, then turned to Lianyi, sadly saying:

"Master, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have interrupted your cultivation that day, but I was worried about you."

"That's enough, put on a stop to your act. Are you truly worried about me, or are you taking this opportunity to mix the two medicines and enhance their effects, making it easier for you to seize my Xuan power You know the truth in your heart. Bi Yao has already been expelled from our sect, and so will you!"

Gao Yang, upon hearing Lian Yi's words, narrowed his eyes and turned to leave.

But the next second, a red ribbon pierced his dantian.

"I hereby formally inform you that you are a disowned disciple of the Xuan Kun Sect, and no longer my apprentice Wu Lianyi. I will be taking back everything the Xuan Kun Sect has bestowed upon you."

Immediately, ripples turned her wrist, retracting the red ribbon. Gao Yang directly knelt on the ground, his entire person immediately aging five years. The Xuan force within him was completely dispersed.

"Master, you're so cruel!"

Gao Yang didn't put on any pretense anymore, glaring angrily at Lian Yi, as if he wanted to tear the other person apart.

"How could I possibly deal with you two despicable, conniving scoundrels"

Ripple ignored the other person's gaze and said faintly.

"Bartender, get someone to throw him out. Don't let him dirty this place up. This ingrate, who betrays his teachers and ancestors, doesn't deserve to be here."

Hong Lian raised her eyebrows triumphantly and said.

Immediately, two people dragged Gao Yang to the back alley of the bar on either side.

Gao Yang felt a chill run through his entire body. The uncontrolled evil energy was slowly corrupting him.

Someone from afar had observed for a long time and found that Gao Yang remained motionless. He quietly approached and reached towards the other's neck, but was caught by Gao Yang's wrist.

Gao Yang's vision was blurry. With his last bit of strength, he grasped onto the other person. He only knew that he had grabbed a man.

"Who are you What do you want to do"

"Would you like to seek revenge on Wu Lianyi"

"Think!"

This word was almost squeezed out from Gao Yang's teeth.

"Then follow me!"

The man, supporting a fellow who was half his height, walked out of the alley behind the bar.

Lian Yi, who was talking with Hong Lian, suddenly paused, then as if nothing had happened, continued chatting and drinking. sign a contract. There are still many things to be done afterward, and we need to complete them one by one.Ripple smiled and said."When the winter vacation comes, I'll help my sister run to the marke...
