Chapter 118: Miserable Suffering
Chen Xiaosheng took a deep breath, squeezed out a few tears, and put on a pitiful look. He said in a sobbing voice, "Miss Murong, please be kind. I really know I was wrong! Now, to fill the treasury, I am ready to work like a slave for you! If you tell me to go east, I will never go west. If you tell me to catch chickens, I will never chase dogs."
After saying this, he deliberately bent down, pretending to pull a cart, and muttered to himself, "I can pull a cart for you for the rest of my life, even if I'm as tired as an ox. As long as you can help me, I'll do anything for you!"
Murong Ling'er looked at his funny appearance and couldn't help but burst out laughing. She said, "Oh! You look really rare like this, but how can I trust your temperament that changes so suddenly?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaosheng quickly stepped forward, raised three fingers, and swore, "I, Chen Xiaosheng, swear to heaven that if I ever have any bad intentions towards you, Miss Murong, I will make you fall when you walk, choke when you eat, and have nightmares when you sleep!"
Murong Ling'er curled her lips: "Your oath is too uncreative."
Chen Xiaosheng stamped his feet anxiously: "Then what do you say? As long as you can trust me, anything is fine!"
At this time, Murong Chen and Huo Zihao also came over on their ponies. Murong Chen said with a smile: "Then you can ride for us first!"
Chen Xiaosheng's face froze, but in order to seek Murong Ling'er's forgiveness, he gritted his teeth and said, "Alright! Young Master, hold on tight!"
So, Chen Xiaosheng really ran with Murong Chen on his back. He looked clumsy and funny, which made everyone laugh.
After running a lap, Chen Xiaosheng came back panting and sweating profusely. He said, "Miss Murong, now you should finally believe me, right?"
Murong Ling'er looked at his miserable state, and her anger subsided a lot. She said, "Alright! I'll trust you this time, but if you dare to have any bad intentions again, I won't let you go so easily!"
Chen Xiaosheng nodded repeatedly as if he had been granted amnesty: "I wouldn't dare, I absolutely wouldn't dare!"
Everyone laughed again, and the cheerful atmosphere spread across the spring meadow.
Murong Linger looked at Chen Xiaosheng's pitiful yet funny expression and couldn't help but roll her eyes. She sneered, "Look at you, you look so miserable. Where's the dignity of a Pavilion Master?!"
After hearing this, Chen Xiaosheng had a bitter face and said helplessly: "Ms. Murong, can't you give me some face?!"
However, Chen Xiaosheng's delusion of trying to gain her sympathy by playing such a pitiful act, and thus reclaiming the looted treasure house, was simply a foolish dream! Murong Ling'er had always been as hard as iron, and sympathy simply did not exist in her.
Murong Ling'er curled her lips and said with disdain, "Hmph! Don't worry, this secret is between you and me. If anyone else knows, it's definitely your own fault for letting everyone know!"
"Besides, just work hard to earn your silver! Don't exhaust yourself to death, vomiting blood, and die in that pile of money!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaosheng's face instantly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot. He cursed in his heart: This woman has a really poisonous mouth. She can't even say a nice word! But he could only complain in his heart and didn't dare to refute her out loud.
Despite the scolding, Chen Xiaosheng still suppressed his anger and said helplessly: "Be careful with Feiyu, she will never let you go easily."
Murong Ling'er crossed her arms and sneered, "What? Are you still worrying about that woman? Don't forget, you can't even protect yourself now!"
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Chen Xiaosheng moved his lips and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
It was clearly a caring advice, but when it came out of Chen Xiaosheng's mouth, it sounded with a hint of gnashing teeth!
As expected, he instantly received a murderous look from Murong Ling'er.
"Humph! That's perfect! I was hoping she'd come find me! I'll beat her till she cries for her parents!"
"You'd better tell your sweetheart that if I see her again, I'll definitely break her neck that's as thin as a bamboo pole!"
Chen Xiaosheng took a deep breath and said, "Miss Murong, I, Chen Xiaosheng, swear here that Jueming Pavilion will no longer be your enemy from now on. If I break my promise, I will be struck by lightning!"
Murong Ling'er raised her eyebrows slightly and said sarcastically, "That's more like it. I hope you can keep your promise and not do anything weird again."
Chen Xiaosheng finally glared fiercely at Chu Lingfeng who was sitting in the carriage in the distance. After a cold snort, his figure flashed and he rushed towards Kyoto like a gust of wind.
In fact, what Chen Xiaosheng did not tell Chu Lingfeng was that he knew very well in his heart that Chu Lingfeng was not poisoned by Fei Yu's Gu.
Chen Xiaosheng's decisive departure meant that Jueming Pavilion had completely withdrawn from the witch clan dispute launched by Feiyu.
This also means that after Longhu Villa, Feiyu has lost another powerful ally.
Murong Linger stared at Chen Xiaosheng's receding back, her eyes flashing, and her mind was filled with thousands of thoughts. She crossed her arms, snorted coldly, and thought to herself: It's hard to say whether I believe Chen Xiaosheng's oath or not, but given the current situation, how bad can it get?
Chu Lingfeng leaped from the carriage and quickly walked to Murong Ling'er's side. He said in a deep voice, "Miss Murong, you must not believe everything Chen Xiaosheng says, but you must also not disbelieve it! We must be extra vigilant."
Murong Linger raised her head slightly, chin raised, and said domineeringly: "I know what's going on, but if he can really keep his promise, then we can deal with one less enemy."
As for Murong Ling'er, how could she be afraid of these monsters! In front of their absolutely overwhelming strength, all conspiracies and tricks were just paper tigers that seemed arrogant but actually collapsed at the slightest touch!
No matter how hard they racked their brains or how hard they tried, in the face of her immense strength, they were all just clumsy clown tricks, not worth mentioning at all! She, Murong Ling'er, possessed sufficient confidence and strength to crush all these conspiracies and calculations, turning them into dust!
……
At this moment, Feiyu was sitting idly in his room, completely unaware of what was happening outside.
She never expected that because of her, Chen Xiaosheng had become a sinner in the Death Pavilion.
It was because of her that Chen Xiaosheng was forced to leave.
Chen Xiaosheng knew very well that he could no longer sacrifice the entire Jueming Pavilion for Feiyu, but he also did not want his relationship with Feiyu to be broken and create an irreparable rift.
So, he had to use the excuse of rebuilding the silver vault to leave for a while, hoping to avoid Feiyu's endless entanglement.
However, Fei Yu was completely unable to understand his good intentions. She was suspicious and paranoid by nature, and thought that Chen Xiaosheng had changed his mind for some unknown reason and was no longer as obedient and submissive to her as before.
