Chapter 97

  Softly spoken, his voice carried a firm tone, like a muffled thunderclap, striking directly at the ghost's head.

  Heart, at this moment, seemed to have been cut into two halves by a long sword.

  Pain, a piercing pain that went straight to his bones. Even if he had been hurt by others before, he could endure it, but now, Han Xi's words brought him heart-wrenching pain that almost made him collapse.

  Apart from his mother's death, he had never felt the pain of heartbreak again. But this little woman in front of him made him experience what it was like to have a broken heart once more!

  Listening to her firm words, looking straight into her resolute gaze, Gui Mei didn't say another word, slowly turning around and facing away from Han Xi Tong.

  His back was so straight and majestic, like a towering mountain range.

  His entire body was clad in cold blackness, like a waterfall of jet-black hair, forming a strong and vivid contrast with the vast expanse of white ice and snow.

  The chill emanating from his body at this moment was almost as biting as the snow, and the loneliness that he could not hide made one's heart clench involuntarily.

  Seeing Gui Mei's desolate and lonely appearance, Han Xi suddenly felt a surge of unbearable emotions in her heart.

  But as soon as she thought of Xuan Mei Chen possibly worrying about her departure, she immediately steeled herself.

  No matter what, she has to leave!

  Thinking of this, Han Xi saw Gui Mei still facing her, seemingly not intending to give her an answer. She became anxious and immediately walked up to Gui Mei's front.

  "Hey! Are you going to let me go or not? Say something!"

  "Jing'er...... I......"

  Facing Han Xi's resolute departure, Gui Mei's red lips parted slightly, her voice husky.

  The demon's heart was bitter, had he really done wrong? Then, should he let her go or not!?

  If he let her go, his heart would ache. But if he tried to keep her here by force, he was afraid that even if he could keep her person, he couldn't keep her heart.

  As he thought of this, Gui Mei had already made his choice, and his red lips opened again as if to say something, but just then a hoarse, icy yet polite voice suddenly came from outside the Water Pavilion.

  "Report to the Prime Minister, Cui has been captured."

  "Bring it along."

  Upon hearing his subordinate's words, Gui Mie's eyebrows immediately furrowed, and his face once again returned to its usual icy coldness, expressionless.

  Perhaps sensing the change in Gui Mie's body, Han Xi's eyes narrowed slightly, and she was puzzled in her heart, but she didn't speak up.

  Instead, he turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound.

  Only to see a man in black kneeling on one knee outside the Water Pavilion, his face pale and gaunt. Only to see that after the man finished speaking, Gui Mie's expression changed instantly, arousing Han Xi's curiosity.

  Just then, a middle-aged man wearing a brown fur coat was brought up by two men in black clothes.

  All I saw was that brown-haired man in a fur coat, who obviously had injuries on his body, but still had an unyielding look on his face.

  However, when he saw the ghost's icy eagle eyes, a hint of fear flashed across his eyes, but soon, he let out a cold snort and turned away.

  I don't know if it was disdain for seeing a ghost or fear of his cold gaze that made him dodge.

  However, Han Xi thought he should belong to the latter!

  Only when the two men in black clothes brought the middle-aged man with a brown coat, the middle-aged man still stood there straight, finally, he was kicked by one of the men in black behind him, and he knelt down on the snowy ground with a hum.

  The ghostly figure had its hands clasped behind its back, and with a steady gait, slowly approached the middle-aged man known as Master Cui.

  The ghostly footsteps were steady and slow, approaching Cui Tang's master step by step.

  The cold wind howled by, blowing up his black sleeves and raising his silky black hair. His majestic figure, like a mountain, seemed to possess boundless power, making it impossible for others to look down on him.

  Han Xi Tong also noticed that as the ghost approached step by step, the middle-aged man who was originally strong and calm, had a crack in his disguise on his face, and fear gradually welled up in his eyes.

  And that tall figure was like a yellow leaf on the treetop, being blown and howled by the ruthless wind, shaking violently!

  It's no wonder that even though there is some distance between him and the ghost, the cold air that is slowly rising from his body at this moment, as well as the killing intent that cannot be ignored.

  It's as if he came from the 18th level of hell, a Shura who has only known bloodshed for years!

  Han Xi Tong was seeing a ghost for the first time, and it was even more terrifying than when he had seen himself for the first time!

  Just as Han Xi Tong was thinking about it, the ghost on the other side had already walked to the front of Cui Tang Zhu and slowly stopped.

  That towering physique like a mountain, the intimidating aura emanating from his entire body, made people feel the footsteps of death approaching.

  "Choi Dang Zhu, you're the most familiar with the rules of Luo Sha Ge. Now I'll give you two options: either take your own life, or if you can't do it yourself, I can help you out."

  A low and menacing tone, with a murderous intent, escaped from the ghostly mouth, sending chills down one's spine and making their heart tremble with fear.

  "I've been following Boss Tian since I was a kid. How can you say I have no credit? At least I have put in effort! You, you can't treat me like this!"

  "It's precisely because you've been following your adoptive father for many years that you should die! As the master of Luocha Pavilion, you actually leaked internal information for personal gain, causing over a dozen brothers to die miserably. Tell me, shouldn't you die?!"

  The ghostly figure spoke in a cold voice, its gaze towards Cui Tang's master was so sharp and icy.

  When Cui Tang heard the ghost's words, he immediately became like a deflated balloon, his face filled with despair.

  The ghosts and demons appeared, but they only made a gesture to the two men in black clothes behind Cui Tang's master. One of them immediately took out a sharp dagger from his pocket and threw it in front of Cui Tang's master, letting him kill himself.

  After all, Luo Ye Ge has been able to stand firm in the Tian Xuan Imperial Court for a long time, and the pavilion's rules must be strict.

  Chui Tangzhu is doomed this time!

  For this kind of thing, Han Xi Tong was also used to it. After all, every place has its own rules, and if you don't follow them, you can't get things done properly. So she just stood quietly on the side, waiting for Gui Mei to finish his business, then they would go resolve what they hadn't finished talking about earlier.

  After all, what she wants to do most now is to leave here as soon as possible. Moreover, there is a sense of unease in her heart that she can't explain, and it seems like something has happened.

  And her right eyelid kept twitching, making Han Xi's heart skip a beat.

  Praying in her heart, hoping it was just her imagination, and nothing bad would happen...

  Just as Han Xi Tong was thinking, suddenly, a loud roar of anger from Si Li burst into his ears, Han Xi Tong's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately came back to his senses, seeing the scene in front of him, he was frightened out of his wits!

  All that was seen was that the originally two black-clothed men who were holding down Cui Tang's master on the ground, slowly picked up the dagger from the ground and intended to wipe it across his own neck.

  However, at the last moment, he suddenly saw him with a fierce determination to burn jade and stone together, and suddenly broke free from the two people behind him, took a sudden leap, and raised his dagger straight at the ghost in front of him.

  This thing happened too suddenly, leaving people at a loss.

  Watching Cui Tang's masterful thrust towards Gui Mei's chest, Han Xi's heart was frightened to the point of almost jumping out of her throat.

  Her eyes widened, her mouth opened, and she immediately let out a loud shout.

  "Be careful—"

  As soon as the words fell, Han Xi's eyes didn't have time to think of anything else, her body instinctively rushed towards Gui Mie's direction, wanting to knock him down and make him avoid the fatal blow.

  In fact, Han Xi Tong's worries were unnecessary.

  As for Cui Tang's move, the ghost had already noticed it. Moreover, as soon as Cui Tang jumped up, his right hand immediately condensed a powerful inner force, and then fiercely swung towards Cui Tang's chest.

  He originally wanted to kill Gui Mie, but unexpectedly, Gui Mie struck back even faster and more ruthless!

  Chui Tang was hit by the ghost's heavy blow, and his entire body immediately flew out straight to the back like a kite with a broken string.

  Finally fell on a large tree trunk, and died after vomiting blood.

  At the same time, I didn't know that Gui Mie had this trick, not only Cui Tang's master, but also Han Xi Tong!

  She thought the ghost would be hurt, so she didn't think twice and flew forward, but unexpectedly the ghost was so fast that in the blink of an eye, Cui Tangzhao immediately died suddenly. There was hardly even time to breathe.

  At this point, Han Xi's eyes were relieved at the same time, and he wanted to stop his footsteps. Unfortunately, it was already a step too late.

  Due to inertia, she fell straight onto the ghost's body. With her great strength earlier, it also caused the ghost to stumble a few steps. In the end, both of them fell into the snowy ground together.

  "Uh..."

  She felt the warm and elastic body under her, so wide and spacious, just like the Simmons bed in her home before, very comfortable.

  Her hands pressed against the ghost's broad chest, feeling the warmth and intense heartbeat emanating from his body through his clothes, making Han Xi's heart skip a beat. Especially when her gaze met a pair of warm, gentle eyes staring back at her, her heart skipped another beat.

  Those were a pair of extremely good-looking eagle eyes.

  So profound, so narrow and long, the pupils are as black as midnight, yet they seem to have a magical whirlpool that can swallow one's gaze in an instant, as if it could capture a person's soul.

  Especially when the originally cold and ruthless eagle eyes emit a gentle expression, such deep affection is almost suffocating, making it impossible to extricate oneself.

  Although Han Xi Tong admitted that she had a good temperament, when she met those warm and gentle eagle eyes, she was still shocked, and her heartbeat was also out of rhythm.

  However, she quickly withdrew her gaze and tried to get up from the man's body, but unexpectedly, her waist suddenly tightened. Her body, which was about to rise, immediately sank again, tightly adhering to the warm body beneath her once more.

  "You..."

  "You were just worried about me, weren't you?!"
