The Sentinel exited the house and knocked this time before entering. He was greeted with the sight of his Hallmaster whod been unbound by that barbaric woman. Shed even considerately covered him with a blanket.

Sentinel couldnt help but look completely and utterly confused,

I dont really understand what the hell happened between Hallmaster and thislady.

Bu Jingyun leaned powerlessly against the headboard of the bed. The Sentinel had never had a higher place in his heart as of right now.

Capture her alive! Bu Jingyun gave the Sentinel a domineering order, resulting in Sentinels lips twitching.Lord Hallmaster, can you not see the sword in her hand? She can kill you without much effort, you know?

And as for capturing her alive why, may I ask, is itcapturingher?

Miss Sentinel took a deep breath as he inwardly warned himself to keep his cool. He couldnt afford to provoke her while his Hallmaster was still in her grasp.

If you have any demands, please state them. As long as you release our Hallmaster, everythings negotiable.

Oh. Shi Sheng kept her sword and shifted to the side a couple of paces. Here, Im returning him.

Sentinel, That easy? She isnt plotting something, is she?

He carefully scanned his surroundings, but didnt find anything that hinted at treachery.

The womans faint voice reached his ears, Ive already poisoned him anyways. Hell die without my antidote, so if youre not afraid of him croaking, by all means, take him back.

The Sentinel quickly asked Bu Jingyun with his gaze,Hallmaster, is she speaking the truth?

Bu Jingyun turned his face away in a huff.

Sentinel,

Hallmasters getting angry out of embarrassment? That means its true?!

Calm down!

Calm. Down.

Calm down your head!

Hallmasters been poisoned! This is such a disgrace! This woman must be killed!

A dark yellow bolt of spirit energy shot out from the Sentinels palm as he seemed to shoot towards her. The powerful spirit energy pulses were like the waves in a sea threatening to overwhelm her, shattering the furniture on its way.

A peak-level Spirit Monarch? Sonovabitch, wasnt taking on higher-level mobs the FLs specialty? How come I(bbb) got this treatment too?

Stop!

Right as Shi Sheng was about to use cheats and beat the Sentinel into a bloody pulp not even his parents would recognise, Bu Jingyun suddenly shouted.

The Sentinel was clearly quite loyal to Bu Jingyun for he immediately halted upon receiving the order. The spirit energy that was running amok vanished.

Hallmaster? Sentinel looked at Bu Jingyun uncomprehendingly.Why doesnt the Hallmaster allow me to kill this woman?

Seize her. Bu Jingyun spoke tersely.How could I allow this woman to die so easily after she dared to treat me that way?

Suspicion surfaced in Shi Shengs heart.How come this Sentinel doesnt seem very worried about Bu Jingyun having been poisoned?

And Bu Jingyun doesnt seem to mind all that much either

[Side Quest: Bu Jingyuns Past. Quest has been auto-accepted.]

Shi Sheng,

Whatre you issuing a side quest at this time for? Whats wrong with you?!

Shi Sheng wished she could slap System to death.

Sentinel and Bu Jingyun exchanged gazes, communicating via their eyes. She didnt know what was said, but Sentinel agreed to capture Shi Sheng.

Well fuck me! See, I was right to keep this fellow!

Else Id be the one being kept!

Shi Sheng swiftly took out one of those little balls of destruction and hurled it at the Sentinel.

Bang!

The blast wasnt as powerful as it had been before, but Shi Sheng took advantage of the distraction it provided to quickly get behind Bu Jingyun and grab him before escaping the scene.

Go! Get the Hallmaster back!

The enraged shouts of the Sentinel could be heard from behind.

Since Shi Sheng had her own method to fly, her speed was much faster than those who had to rely on running; she soon managed to shake off the pursuers from Nine Silences Hall.

Theyd already left the city and landed in a small patch of woods.

Even if Bu Jingyun appeared very calm right now, his inner thoughts were akin to a raging volcano. He glared at Shi Sheng.

Indifferent to his anger, she smiled and spoke, Whats wrong with me keeping you? Ill give you whatever you want. Its an honour that others wouldnt be able to enjoy even if theyve been accumulating good karma for several lifetimes!

Bu Jingyun, Why do I feel like theres something off about these words?

I want to return to Nine Silences Hall.

Sure. Shi Sheng nodded, causing Bu Jingyuns gaze to darken as he looked at her in slight bafflement.This girl continues to bewilder me

Shi Sheng shot him a slight smile. But first, I gotta go kill those bitches.

Bu Jingyun,

Bu Jingyun decided to appease her for now. As a villain, he had to have a high tolerance threshold!

Hed already stopped counting on those buffoons.

Its much better to just rely on myself! Wait till I get my cultivation back! See if I dont beat her!

Two days later, Shi Sheng brought Bu Jingyun back to the Academy. The disciples from Nine Silences Hall appeared very excited when they saw that Bu Jingyun was here and perfectly unharmed, but they didnt come forward to so much as greet him.

Shi Sheng discovered that not only were the Nine Silences Halls side merely in a state of suppressed excitement, even the people from the Academy merely expressed their astonishment at his looks. None of them displayed an expression that one would expect when in the presence of the Hallmaster of Nine Silences Hall.

Hey, how come they look like they dont recognise you? Shi Sheng poked Bu Jingyun, causing him to glare angrily at her before slowly speaking, Theyve never seen me before. Naturally, they wouldnt recognise me.

Eh?Never seen him before?

Bu Jingyun humphed in disdain. Even the one with the highest cultivation has yet to reach a century of age.

Shi Sheng seemed to have understood something, Oh, so its because youre too old.

It had been ages since Bu Jingyun had become famous, so most people had only heard of his name. Those that had seen him tended to have died already, so it was perfectly normal the people in the current era didnt recognise him.

Shen Yaoguang, call me old one more time, and Ill kill myself!

Shi Sheng,

When Bu Jingyun saw hed shut Shi Sheng up, he relished in satisfaction.She seems to be afraid of me dying as long as I threaten her with suicide, shell stop insulting me!

Meanwhile, Shi Sheng was bursting with frustration.System that bitch! Just randomly adding rules whenever it feels like it! Goddammit, it really pisses me(bbb) off!

Yaoguang, whereve you been? I was beginning to think youd panicked and ran off! Hobo Uncle popped out of nowhere and grabbed Shi Sheng before starting to chatter away, Eh? Whered you kidnap this fair maiden from? Is she a student? How come Ive never seen her before?

Panicked and ran off?! Your grandpa! Do you even know how to use idioms?! Illiterate!

Meanwhile, Fair Maiden Bu Jingyun was shooting icy daggers at Hobo Uncle with his eyes.

Hobo Uncles scalp numbed from that stare, causing him to shift closer to Shi Sheng and speak in what he thought was a quiet voice, Yaoguang, this lady seems quite cold!

Shi Sheng gave Hobo Uncle a pitying glance.

Wow, you even called him a lady! Do you really have a death wish? This guys very petty, you know?

Its starting soon. Arent you going over? Shi Sheng looked towards the stage and attempted to divert Ye Tiannans attention.

Oh yeah! I had something to give you. Here. This is our Academys prized treasure. Remember Yaoguang, dont try and act tough if you cant beat them. Your life is most important.

Hobo Uncle shoved a black object into Shi Shengs hand, before looking around furtively. Dont tell anyone I gave it to you. Okay, this is as far as I can help you.

Andhowexactly did you get the Academys treasure? Did you steal it?

Dont tell me he really did steal it

Are you on my side or not?! Are you sure this bozos not an undercover agent sent by the FL?!
