Chapter 106: 6) Tree and branch
Meanwhile,
Xiao Ling'r turned her head Bai Lung when his words fell into her ears.
Her calm figure couldn't help but tremble, spreading a burst of the elegant fragrance of orchids in the surroundings.
She didn't speak up, but her subtle movements exposed what went through her mind.
Bai Lung turned his head and started at her with his deep gaze, and smiled mysteriously,
"Did you think I was going to trouble your mother even when I gave 'My Word' to save her?" he asked using Qi voice transmission technique.
Xiao Ling'r felt that this man right now was much more difficult to deal with than she had thought, and this fact made her feel even more uneasy compared to when he had an indifferent expression talking with her.
He is as unpredictable as ever, but she was little relieved that, this man was in her mother's favour and willing to help her.
All she could do was put trust in him, like a bird to tree branch.
Still, she pursed her lips and made sure not to utter any words because, this man gets offended easily and her master had once told her, to capture a man's heart, shut your mouth as much as possible.
Bai Lung, on the other hand, glanced back at Xu Yin, looking at her sexy and alluring body, while a few words came out of his mouth with a flat tone, "A useless vessel...."
Xu Yin despite being a peerless beauty, was not gifted in any way, she was no different than normal person aside from having beauty.
Hearing this, Xiao Ling'r turned to look at him, with a confused look as she didn't understand the meaning at all.
A useless vessel? What was that?
"Interesting! "Bai Lung spoke with a mysterious smile, his eyes gleaming with sinister red light.
It was as if he was talking to himself, but it also appeared as if his words were directed at Xiao Ling'r so, she was in dilemma.
Her mind was frozen like a ice lake.

At the same time,
Hearing Bai Lung's words, the Sect Master and Beta Fang looked at Bai Lung, they thought the holy envoy would pass a cruel judgment but, it turns out, holy envy was in favour of the concubine.
And what's more, it seems he is talking to his daughter right in front of him, and what's with this 'A useless vessel!' the sect master couldn't comprehend the meaning at all.
Seeing that, Xiao Ling'r and the Holy Envoy had finished chitchatting, the Sect master moved a little closer towards Bai Lung and spoke.
"Holy Envoy, why are you in her favour?"
Hearing this Bai Lung's face became slightly ugly, " Ahem* Ahem* l can't quite fathom why should I speak my mind to sect master,"
His voice was Cold and sharp filled with acrimony.
"F-Forgive me... it wasn't my intention, I was wondering why, The Holy Envoy would be defending a guilty woman," The Sect master spoke with a nervous tone, brows sweating hard.
"Guilty? Is it true that she may be unacceptable... However, helplessness and crime are two different thing... Mu Chen is said to be connected with devil, capable of using enchanting art to make any woman his slave, not to mention, Mu Chen even escaped from the dungeon of Sect, based on my knowledge... Even if sect was helpless, elders getting beaten here and there...
Do you think a woman would be able to defend herself,"
Bai Lung spoke, despite knowing very well that Concubine and Mu Chen had zero intimate relationship.
However due to Mu Chen's connections with devil and Ling Fei, was a crucial thing that made concubine unable to speak any words to defend herself... What can she say?
No! I have no intimate connection, I am innocent?
Well, it can easily be countered by no thief will admit him being a thief.
However, Bai Lung was quite happy as Mu Chen was defamed easily... It's just sad that, he managed to escape the sect so, finding him is going to be hard.
As sharp as he is, he has already sent Bai Luo Yi for search of Mu Chen.
—
Bai Lung's words hung in the air, carrying a weight that seemed to shift the very atmosphere around them.
As his deep, piercing gaze settled upon the sect master, there was an underlying current of authority and command that demanded unquestioning obedience.
"Sect Master speaks as if Sect Master comprehend the full scope of this matter," Bai Lung stated, his voice laced with a subtle condescension.
Xiao Ling'r watched the exchange with rapt attention, her delicate features betraying a hint of curiosity and admiration. Though Bai Lung's words were directed at the sect master, she could not help but feel a sense of... intrigue.
This man was a enigma, his motives and true nature shrouded in mystery.
"I-I meant no disrespect, Holy Envoy," the sect master stammered, bowing deeply.
"I merely sought to understand your reasoning, as it seems to contradict the evidence we have gathered..."
Bai Lung's lips curled into a sardonic smile.
"Evidence? What do you know of the true currents that flow beneath the surface of this world?" He swept his gaze across the assembled disciples, his expression unfathomable.
"If sect master don't need her, how about handing her to me... I am quite in lack of maid,"
The sect master recoiled, his face paling at the implied rebuke.
He looked at his daughter, the sect master knew it was because of Xiao Ling'r, Holy Envoy was willing to keep his concubine as his maid, otherwise, why would such noble man even pick her? Not to mention, she isn't even a maiden.
However, knowing very well he could do nothing more and didn't want to offend Holy Envoy. He decided to do it.
At least, her puny pathetic life could be used in some way.
Ahem* Ahem* The Judgement is final... Concubine Xu Yin isn't guilty nonetheless, she is said to leave the sect.
Everyone! Dismiss!
