731: Chapter 153: Is There a Mole Among Us?
“Is there…
any point in trying to save her?”
It wasn’t until after the burly dude ascended to heaven that Li Mumu and the other two cautiously opened the temple door and started discussing the “corpse” on the ground.
“To save or not…it should be possible, right?”
Shen Qingxi looked at Li Mumu.
It’s just a fatal injury, after all.
In those BL dramas, even when cars explode into Lego bricks, people can still be brought back to life.
This is nothing; it’s just a heart punctured by someone’s finger.
The body is still warm.
The main thing is whether to save her or not.
“Let’s try to save her.”
Xia Yubing said, “Don’t you still want to travel back to the past?
If she just dies like this, and someone else tries to win you over, would you trust them?”
“I get your point, but honestly, I’m not particularly looking forward to time travel…”
Shen Qingxi pouted: “What I’m mainly considering is another issue.
That burly guy just said that in Tianmen City everywhere is booby-trapped, and lots of people who are causing trouble end up dying without explanation.
Just like Cheng Xuefei; if she doesn’t admit it herself, there’s no way to tell if she’s really an undercover agent or not.”
“So…
could there be a mole among us three?”
After these words, she didn’t get the response she was expecting.
Shen Qingxi looked up to see Li Mumu and Xia Yubing quietly watching her.
“Do you also have a grand plan to wipe out a population of five hundred thousand?”
“Of course I don’t!”
Shen Qingxi became immediately flustered: “Don’t talk nonsense, alright?”
“So what are you worried about?”
Li Mumu raised an eyebrow and said, “Lord Sect Master, it was you who initially came to our headquarters on your own and wanted to spend money to take over our folk sect and become the Sect Hierarch.
Did we force you?
I haven’t suspected you of anything, yet now you, an outsider, suspect us of being moles?”
“That’s true…”
Shen Qingxi couldn’t help but nod in agreement: “Sorry, I’ve thought too much, Sister Bingbing, I shouldn’t have doubted you.”
“So you suspect me, then?”
Xia Yubing asked coldly: “Just because I advocate saving her?”
“No!
Let’s save her!”
Shen Qingxi desperately shook her head.
“But how?
Does anyone have any ideas?”
“I can perform some minor surgery.”
Li Mumu volunteered, “I can handle the stitching!”
Xia Yubing said, “I’ve already suppressed her soul, it won’t leave her body.”
Shen Qingxi quickly added, “I’ll perform the cardiac resuscitation!”
Working together, the three busied themselves, and ten minutes later, Cheng Xuefei’s body twitched with an electric shock, and her damaged heart finally began to beat slowly again.
“There’s a small issue now.”
Li Mumu wiped the blood off her hands and looked up: “She’s lost too much blood, nearly running out.
Who can give her a blood transfusion?”
The three looked at each other.
“I’m type B.”
Shen Qingxi volunteered and then looked at Xia Yubing.
Xia Yubing was expressionless.
I’m a dead person, what are you looking at me for?
Shen Qingxi turned to look at Li Mumu.
Li Mumu sighed.
How am I supposed to explain this to you?
Besides, you don’t even know what blood type Miss Cheng is!
Just as she was about to speak, she saw Cheng Xuefei’s eyelids twitch, and with great effort, she opened her eyes.
With a slight flick of her wrist, a thin piece of paper fluttered out from her sleeve.
A huge 500cc blood pack appeared on the ground.
“She came for us, right?”
Shen Qingxi was instantly displeased, huffing and puffing, “This bad woman just calculated that we would save her, making me feel like my conscience has been tainted!”
“Lord Sect Master, when have you ever had a conscience?”
“I’ve always had one!”
Shen Qingxi squatted down, gritted her teeth, and pulled out the IV tube, inserting the needle into Cheng Xuefei’s wrist vein.
“After studying at Jishan Academy for so many years, I never knew the Mountain Leader was that kind of person.
She has been deceiving me all along, treating me like a child to fool around.
Probably thinks I’m stupid and naïve, unable to accept their ideology and might accidentally leak information, right?”
“…Why are you looking at me with those eyes?”
Li Mumu shook her head silently.
I think their concerns are indeed reasonable.
As the hanging blood pack gradually shriveled up, Shen Qingxi gently kicked Cheng Xuefei and said coldly, “Alright, Senior Sister Cheng, stop playing dead.
Tell me, where is the Mountain Leader now?”
Cheng Xuefei shook her head weakly.
“The Mountain Leader is very formidable…
Don’t go courting death.”
“Huh?
You think I’m going to pick a fight with the Mountain Leader?”
Shen Qingxi crossed her arms and huffed, “Didn’t you say earlier you needed to see my sincerity?
Now I’ve saved his prized pupil and will take her back to him.
Isn’t that sincerity enough?”
“Of course not.”
Xia Yubing interjected, “What she means is, your strength is too weak, you’re not qualified to negotiate terms with him.”
“Saying that really hurts my pride…”
“So, let me go have a talk with him.”
“Hmm?”
Shen Qingxi suddenly turned her head and looked at Xia Yubing.
“I don’t like his theories.”
Xia Yubing said coldly, “Whether his plan is real or fake, I don’t like it.
The lives of Tianmen People might not be that precious, but they’re not that cheap either.”
Li Mumu couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Then what do you plan to talk to him about?
Do you think you can persuade someone like that with just a few words?”
“Advise him to stop, and if he doesn’t take the advice, kill him.”
Xia Yubing answered succinctly and shockingly.
“Great idea!”
This was the first time Li Mumu saw Xia Yubing display such unabashed murderous intent.
But deep down, she strongly agreed with Xia Yubing’s opinion.
Someone with such muddled thinking would only make the cost of rice in Tianmen more expensive by letting him live.
“What great idea, hey!
Can you two calm down?”
Shen Qingxi quickly tried to mediate, “Didn’t Eldest Miss Cheng say that the Mountain Leader is formidable!
He is the Great Demon King who could slaughter five hundred thousand people with just a thought!
Sisters, clear your minds!
In your eyes…”
She paused suddenly at this point.
“Wait, you weren’t just humoring me before and now plan to show your true abilities when trouble arises, were you?”
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became quiet.
Li Mumu didn’t know how to respond.
To tell the truth, it felt a bit wrong toward the makeup products Eldest Miss Shen had given her.
“Sect Master, you should take Miss Cheng to the hospital.”
Xia Yubing bluntly changed the subject and turned her head to look at Li Mumu, “Reddy, will you come with me?”
“Sure.”
Li Mumu didn’t hesitate at all, owing many favors to Sister Bingbing.
It was rare for this reticent person to take the initiative to speak, and there was no reason not to help.
Plus, she herself was quite eager to meet the Mountain Leader to see how extraordinary he really was.
“I’m going too!”
Shen Qingxi quickly raised her hand, “Do you know where Jishan Academy is?
Without me, you wouldn’t know the way!”
