I was reborn after cheating on the aloof and powerful man.

Chapter 149 Calculation

The sound of the "smack" was not very forceful, but it was extremely insulting.

In the quiet room, the slap was deafening.

The person who was hit was caught off guard and stood there stunned, not yet able to come to their senses.

The assailant moved swiftly, disappearing behind the swordsman with a elusive and elusive move.

"Fei Xi!" The voice, filled with gritted teeth, sounded like a demon grinding its teeth.

"She's still young..." Facing his friend's piercing gaze, Bian Yuan uttered words against his will for the first time in his life.

Having defended himself, he knew he was in the wrong, sighed softly, and turned to look at Fei Xi.

Why did you resort to violence?

"I don't like him swearing."

"I wasn't cursing your mother! What are you protecting? Come here, and I can let bygones be bygones and let you go!"

Do you think I'm stupid?

Fei Xi pouted and gripped Bian Yuan's sleeve tightly.

His eyes darted around, pretending nothing was wrong, refusing to look at the furious face opposite him.

What were we doing in the past? Getting beaten up?

This butcher clearly wants to fight back, but she won't fall for it!

Seeing the little girl opposite him pretending not to hear him, his effeminate face grew even more gloomy, becoming extremely ugly.

"I said! Come here, and I can let bygones be bygones!"

“Cui Chou! She’s just a frail and sickly girl who doesn’t know martial arts. Why bother with her?”

"So what if she's weak and sickly? Don't underestimate women. Some women are most adept at using their vulnerability to commit all sorts of evil deeds. My friend, since you've taken her on as your responsibility, if you don't carefully guide her, you'll suffer greatly at her hands sooner or later!"

"I know how to treat her; you don't need to compare her to others..."

Before Bian Yuan could finish speaking, Fei Xi walked out from behind him.

Although she disliked the sharp-tongued Cui Chou, she didn't want to see the arrogant Senior Bian apologize to others on her behalf.

“Senior Cui, the Princess is not a madwoman. I know that the person behind this is not Emperor Hua. If it were Emperor Hua, there would be no need for such a great deal of trouble. I'm afraid that the annihilation of all the martial arts sects would be more in line with Emperor Hua’s wishes.”

As she spoke, Fei Xi resignedly walked up to Cui Chou and closed her eyes tightly.

For a moment, Cui Chou was at a loss for whether to be angry at the girl in front of him for slapping him without any grudge, or at her for being so audacious and daring to say whatever came to mind.

But looking at the quiet and handsome face before him when he didn't speak, he hesitated for a long time, but finally couldn't help but reach out his hand.

“Ah, it hurts!”

Her round eyes instantly welled up with tears, making her look incredibly pitiful.

Although he knew the little girl was faking it, her pitiful appearance at that moment pleased Cui Chou, dispelling his anger and bringing a slight smile to his lips.

"Be more careful in the future. I won't hold it against you, little girl, but that doesn't mean I'll treat others the same way. Do you understand? Go on."

Fei Xi covered her ears, wondering if her ears would suffer if she said she hadn't heard.

She raised her head and gave a soft hum, pouting slightly, clearly indicating that she wouldn't listen to him no matter what.

Before Cui Chou could get itchy again, she took a few steps back, and a string of words poured out like beans.

"I suspect this matter is related to the imperial court. Firstly, it is difficult for martial arts practitioners alone to change their schools of thought so many times without anyone noticing. The person behind the scenes must have colluded with local officials to be able to take over all thirty-one schools in just fifteen years."

"Secondly, according to the oath made between Emperor Hua and the Great Hero Yuan at Mount Tai, all resources in the territory of a sect belong to that sect. These thirty-one sects are not only a matter of apparent power; if anyone makes a discovery within the jurisdiction of these thirty-one sects, it must be kept secret..."

"Stop talking!" A rough voice sternly stopped Fei Xi. Seemingly realizing his tone had been too harsh, Cui Chou softened his tone slightly and then said...

"Little girl, I appreciate your kindness this time."

After saying that, he turned around and said, "My friend, I'm afraid I'll have to break our promise tonight."

He then hurriedly left Shuohan Peak.

……

On the fluffy and soft exquisite carpet, a few drops of blood had seeped into the pattern, making it clear at a glance that they would be difficult to clean.

Fei Xi stared at the bloodstains at her feet, thinking to herself, "This wasn't me."

She could understand why Senior Bian wouldn't allow Cui Chou to enter the room through the main entrance.

Given that the other party was often covered in blood, it was perfectly normal for Senior Bian to not want the room to be destroyed and to forbid him from entering.

They said she slept in Senior Bian's bed, and that butcher just left without paying any compensation!

"Were you listening to what I was saying?"

"He didn't even lose money... huh?"

Their eyes met, innocent and naive. The words of reproach reached his lips, but he swallowed them back, and Bian Yuan asked again,

Do you know the eldest princess?

"do not know……"

"What you said today must never be mentioned to anyone else. Emperor Hua is getting old, and the position of heir apparent is vacant, which will inevitably lead to bloodshed." Bian Yuan paused, his tone becoming increasingly solemn.

"As a confidant of Emperor Hua, it's inevitable that Cui Chou will be drawn into the vortex of power struggles. As a member of the martial arts world, you don't need to involve yourself in it."

"Senior Bian... if that ship is related to the imperial court, the Spirit Hall certainly won't let this go any further, will it?"

A loud bang answered Fei Xi's question.

The sword moved like a dragon, its powerful sword energy bursting out of the window, like a dragon soaring into the sky, unstoppable, and in an instant splitting the white world outside the window in two.

"You started plotting against Cui Chou after you heard that the ship involved all the sects of the Spirit Hall?"
