Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess - Chapter 974

Chapter 974 Infight at Sanjue Hall
“Yes, Master. I’ll do as you say.”

Baisu suddenly felt a little lucky that she was not the enemy of Lin Mengya. Fortunately, she woke up to the danger at the last moment, not betraying her master.

Otherwise, she would not even know how she had died.

“Let the seven of them come here to see me tomorrow, and others stay where they are.”

She did not intend to make things too difficult as the war was approaching.

Moreover, if she handed Sanjue Hall over to Baili Wuchen in the future, these guys would not be matches for him.

So it would depend on the attitude of those guys tomorrow.

Lin Mengya did not want to cause trouble. However, if someone dared to use her generosity as an excuse to provoke her, she would not mind starting a massacre.

“Yes, Master.”

It was late at night, but Lin Mengya, who was in the room, had an unsympathetic smile.

She said to herself, “Sure enough, it is not my style to be sentimental.”

Chong’an County was an inconspicuous place.

If it weren’t close to the border, no one would visit here all year round,

But now, many people had secretly gathered in Chong’an County.

Even though their future prospects were uncertain, they all had great ambitions.

This was because the high and mighty Hall Master had once made a promise to them.

If they won, they would bring glory to their families. If they lost, they could live a peaceful life.

However, those who joined Sanjue Hall were all down on their luck previously, and they were eager to have an opportunity to become real men.

Therefore, they had given up their stable lives of the past, just for seeking such an opportunity.

However, at such an exciting moment, some discordant voices were heard.

At the foot of the Jiao Mountain, the top forces of Sanjue Hall were gathered in a spacious and neat courtyard,

Even though they belonged to various Branch Halls, they rarely communicated with each other.

Most of them had met each other for the first time.

In general, those who were capable had their tempers.

It was not a big deal at first, but under someone’s deliberate instigation, their tempers turned into conflicts.

In the courtyard, a fierce battle was taking place because of a quarrel.

A man with a slight frown but a very strong aura stood in front of the gate, pursed his lips, and looked at the fighting crowd before him.

“Deputy Hall Master Ren, keep your men under control.”

Master Guo’s deep voice sounded a little angry. Although he was in Lintian, he had heard about the infighting among the several Branch Halls.

Ren Nanbei, the Deputy Hall Master, was a short, round man in his forties. He was wearing silk and satin clothes, which made him look extraordinarily wealthy.

His aura was not as strong as Master Guo’s, but his eyes appeared that he was very smart.

Ren Nanbei only smiled indifferently and cast a glance at the chaotic scene casually.

“The young men are just horsing around. Our Branch Hall in Qing Prefecture is different from your trade caravan. If we are not good at martial arts, how can we have a place in the world?”

There was a flash of chill in Master Guo’s eyes. However, a big man like him would not argue with a mere Deputy Hall Master of a Branch Hall.

In contrast, the young man, who had been following Master Guo behind, snorted coldly with a disdainful look.

“This is your son, right?”

Ren Nanbei was not irritated. They merely smiled at the young man standing behind Master Guo with a look of contempt in his eyes.

“Well, a young man must get to know more about the world so as not to expose himself to ridicule. If Master Guo is interested, I am willing to provide such an opportunity to your son. However, the condition in our Branch Hall in Qing Prefecture is a little hard. I am afraid that your son can not get used to it.”

It was obvious that he was mocking that the Branch Hall in Lintian was so well off that Master Guo’s son had been spoiled.

“You are a mere Deputy Hall Master of the Branch Hall in Qing Prefecture, but how dare you talk like this?”

“Tiantong!”

Master Guo shouted in a low voice, but the look in his eyes hinted at his attitude toward his son.

Apart from escorting Lin Mengya all the way, Master Guo intended to take this opportunity to train his son in person.

Guo Tiantong was not convinced, but he had to lower his head. He made up his mind to find a chance to teach Ren Nanbei a lesson later.

Everyone at the Branch Hall in Lintian had experienced many battles, even though they had the Hall Master as the backer, who had managed to get good connections with the officials in the Nation of Lintian.

But the folk were different from the imperial court. Their entry meant breaking the distribution of the existing forces. How would those people be willing to give way?

Guo Tiantong had shed his blood for the Branch Hall in the Nation of Lintian with his father. He naturally could not bear to be ridiculed by Ren Nanbei.

“It doesn’t matter. Your son is young and vigorous. It is good though. Well, look at my men. They are so unruly.”

Ren Nanbei had an annoyed look on his face, but a hint of pride in his eyes could not be covered.

Once again, the battle between the two sides in the courtyard ended with the victory of his side.

Ren Nanbei had brought along a bunch of vicious big guys, so their side naturally had the upper hand.

The side at a disadvantage was from the Branch Hall in Yun State.

They were all survivors of the plague, even though they did not know that it was their Hall Master who had saved them and their families back then.

However, their Hall Master and Deputy Hall Master were aware of this. For this reason, the members of the Branch Hall in Yun State were more loyal to Lin Mengya than the other Branch Halls.

And Lin Mengya also returned the favor to Master Guo and gave him a lot of care in secret.

Over time, the Branch Hall in Yun State was called the direct line of the Hall Master by other Branch Halls.

Ren Nanbei was the leader of the four, and he wanted to teach the Hall Master a lesson. So the Branch Hall in Yun State, as the direct line of Lin Mengya, became his first target to attack.

Now that even the lineal members had been trampled underfoot by his men, Ren Nanbei was extremely proud of himself.

“Deputy Hall Master Ren, I’d like to only warn you. Behave yourself.”

Last night, Master Guo received the message sent by the personal guard of the Hall Master. That was why he had to hold his horses.

Since the Hall Master wanted to deal with this matter personally, he would leave it to her.

After all, Lin Mengya’s methods were not inferior to his.

Master Guo cast a cold glance at the three idiots, who were gloating at him behind Ren Nanbei.

“Even if they are disloyal to the Hall Master, it’s better to keep it in their mind, but not let her see through.

“Not to mention these guys come here to die.

“I am afraid that from now on, there will be no place for them in the Sanjue Hall.”

The tall and strong guy from the Branch Hall in Qing Prefecture fiercely trampled on the man from the Branch Hall in Yun State, who was relatively shorter and thinner.

“Haha, Look, you are the direct lineal members of the Hall Master, so what? Under my fists, you all have to obediently lie on the ground like my dog!”

The member of the Branch Hall in Yun State, who was being trampled on, gritted his teeth.

Even though he had been beaten badly by the big guy, he did not allow himself to cry out in pain.

“Let him go! We’re all members of Sanjue Hall. Aren’t you afraid of being punished by the hall rules for being so ruthless?”

The members of the Branch Hall in Yun State, who were stopped outside, shouted at the big guy angrily. However, the guys from the Branch Hall in Qing Prefecture were too powerful, while the others did not want to get into trouble, so they did not stand out to help.

Moreover, Ren Nanbei was quite partial to his men. Yesterday, one man from another Branch Hall could not bear their arrogance and argued with them. As a result, he was almost crippled by that big guy.

In just a few days, they seemed to have become the overlords of this place.

“The hall rules? I’m the rules!”

A trace of hostility flashed across the big guy’s eyes. He lifted his foot and was about to stomp on the man’s head.

Everyone could do nothing but watch the bloody scene that was about to happen in front of them. Apart from the members from the Branch Hall in Yun State, who shouted in grief and indignation, others just stood there, onlooking at the scene indifferently.

“Ah!”

A heart-wrenching scream was heard, but it was not from the man, who was lying on the ground, with his eyes wide open and a sorrowful expression.

“To harm fellow disciples violates the No. 19 terms of the hall rules. You deserve to be punished by cutting in half at the waist.”

The cold tone was mixed with a trace of killing intent.

With a “bang”, the big guy, who was so domineering just now, covered his foot and fell to the ground.

Blood gushed out of his left ankle, splashing a pool of blood on the ground.

The girl in white, who put on a straight face, took back her sword, without a stain of blood.

It was as if she was not the one who had just cut off the man’s left foot with her sword.

“Bai… Miss Bai! It’s Miss Bai!”

Baisu had arrived here in advance a few days ago, so the group of people who came early recognized her at once.

Baisu did not glance at anyone but walked straight to the several Branch Hall Masters.

“I am here to pass the Hall Master’s order to you guys. Go meet her at once. The one who does not obey her order will be punished according to the hall rules.”

Baisu had an extremely indifferent expression, which was just like the cold jade that was buried deep in the earth, freezing cold and extremely hard.

“You… Who do you think you are? You hurt my men. How dare you!”

Ren Nanbei was furious, but his eyes were filled with excitement.

He was afraid that the Hall Master was a tactful person and that he could not find any way to deal with her. He did not expect that she would come to him directly.

Baisu ignored Ren Nanbei. She just took out a waist token made of fine steel from her waist and threw it on the table in front of him.

“This is… the logo of the Enforcement Team!”

The Deputy Hall Masters behind Ren Nanbei were perceptive. When Ren Nanbei heard their words, his round face twitched unnaturally.

“Insulting the Enforcement Team is another crime! The one who questions the Enforcement Team will be judged by the Hall Master herself. If I handle it improperly, I will be punished severely. If not, the one who questions me will be punished.”

Ren Nanbei’s face turned ashen when he heard Baisu’s rigid and cold voice.

Ren Nanbei had long known about the prestige of the Enforcement Team in Sanjue Hall. He was aware that they were a group of stubborn people who were loyal to the Hall Master with their hearts and souls.

However, he had received the message, saying that the Enforcement Team would not show up this time, but the woman in front of him did hold the waist token.

He recognized the waist token. The members of the Enforcement Team were all highly skilled in martial arts and were probably not easy to deal with.

But now, in front of so many people, he could not easily give in.

So Ren Nanbei had no choice but to force himself to be brave.

“Okay, let’s make it clear in front of the Hall Master! Everyone, please go to welcome the Hall Master with me now.”
