“Absolutely not!”
Tang Tianyou immediately declared, “How could I stoop to such a despicable act…”
Bang…
Before Tang Tianyou could finish his sentence, Wu Teng threw a punch that struck Tang Tianyou’s left eye. Instantly, his eye socket turned purple.
“Tang Tianyou, I’m not asking you,” Wu Teng growled menacingly. “If you don’t do it, do you think I won’t let you live to see tomorrow?”
“You know my father is a second-rank spiritual alchemist, and Master Lu Entao is well aware of how I’ve treated you. At most, he would just scold me a few times. Do you really believe that if I killed you, no one in the Qingyun Pavilion would bother to investigate the death of a mere mortal alchemist?”
Hearing this, Tang Tianyou’s body stiffened.
“Moreover…” Wu Teng chuckled sinisterly, “I’ve already slipped some medicine into Wulingzhu’s drink earlier. She must be unconscious by now. If you go and steal a few pieces of clothing, I guarantee no one will ever know.”
“But if you refuse, I’ll go instead. And when I see Wulingzhu’s fragrant, bathed body, if I can’t control myself and take her as my own, then Wulingzhu will be mine!”
“You should know that my father and Wulingzhu’s father are close friends, and they both hope that Wulingzhu and I will end up together.”
“Once it’s done, I’m sure Master Wuxuan, for the sake of his daughter’s reputation, will accept me as his son-in-law…”
Hearing these words, Tang Tianyou’s face turned even paler.
“Fine, I’ll go.”
Tang Tianyou immediately said, “I’ll steal the clothes for you.”
“Now that’s more like it!”
Wu Teng straightened Tang Tianyou’s clothes, patted him on the shoulder, and chuckled, “Don’t worry, no one will ever find out.”
After being released by Wu Teng, Tang Tianyou walked through the courtyards at the back of the Qingyun Pavilion until he finally arrived in front of one. Not far away, Wu Teng, along with several guards, kept giving him meaningful glances.
Tang Tianyou took a deep breath, entered the courtyard, and gently pushed open the door to the room. The door was open?
How could Wulingzhu be so careless?
He pushed the door open and immediately closed it behind him, then called out, “Lingzhu, are you alright? Are you hurt?”
But there was no response.
Had the medicine Wu Teng gave her already taken effect?
Tang Tianyou quickly went into the inner room, where he saw a sixteen- or seventeen-year-old girl, her clothes in disarray, large patches of her snowy skin exposed, lying unconscious on the bed. The clothes scattered on the floor were in complete disarray, and steam was rising from a bathtub in the inner room.
“Lingzhu!”
It was clear that Wulingzhu had just finished bathing when the medicine took effect and she fell unconscious.
“Lingzhu, wake up! Wu Teng has bad intentions. Please wake up…” Tang Tianyou urged frantically.
He had agreed to come here not to steal clothes, but to protect Wulingzhu.
“Damn it!”
Tang Tianyou, still young and inexperienced, was thrown into chaos by the sight. He quickly picked up the disheveled Wulingzhu and rushed toward the door. However, as soon as he opened it, more than a dozen people suddenly poured into the courtyard.
Leading the group was none other than Wu Teng. In front of him stood Master Wuxuan, Master Wu Ao, and even Master Lu Entao.
“Tang Tianyou, I never expected that you would be so brazen as to drug Lingzhu and attempt to take advantage of her!” Wu Teng shouted upon seeing Tang Tianyou holding Wulingzhu.
“Tang Tianyou, you bastard!”
A roar of fury erupted. Wulingzhu’s father, Master Wuxuan, lunged forward in an instant. With a flash of movement, he struck Tang Tianyou with a slap.
Crack!!!
Master Wuxuan was a second-rank spiritual alchemist and a high-ranking condensation-vein cultivator. How could Tang Tianyou, merely at the body-refining stage, withstand such a blow? The slap sent him crashing into the back wall, causing it to crack. He slowly fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
The unconscious Wulingzhu in his arms was gently caught by Master Wuxuan.
“Lingzhu, Lingzhu, how are you…” Master Wuxuan asked anxiously.
