Chapter 612 - Daoist Lu Ya
Commotion struck at the Residence of the Grand Preceptor and it surprised Wen Zhong and the Lady Mother of the Chariot.
The Lady Mother of the Chariot and Wen Zhong came out and saw an almost an inch long flying dagger that was about to pierce through Wuding's skin. Not far away was a girl in red who was controlling the flying dagger.
Anyone would be stunned in disbelief to see the young monarch of Yinshang being held in control by a girl in red.
Wen Zhong questioned, "Who are you and why did you strike him?"
"This courtyard looked lavish and I wanted to take a look at it. But this person insisted on stopping me and wanted to fight me. Of course, I would fight back." The girl groaned. If her face was nice points, her charisma would make it ten and Wuding was stunned by her. It was not his first time encountering a heroic female. Lei Jing was definitely more magnetic but she was definitely not as lively as this girl.
"What are you looking at?" the girl in red said with displeasure.
Wuding smiled bitterly, "I am sorry."
The girl in red looked at Wuding with contempt, then switched her focus on Wen Zhong and the Lady Mother of the Chariot and proceeded to scan them thoroughly.
Wen Zhong said, "Young lady, could you please release him? There is nothing shady about this courtyard. If you want to look around, go ahead."
"Why should I listen to you? I could still look around the courtyard if I do not release him. What? Are you going to eat me up if I don't obey?" the girl in red twitched her eyebrows.
Wen Zhong was pissed. He wondered which school produced such a rude girl. With a deep voice, he said, "Then don't blame me for being rough."
Dissatisfied, the girl said, "The hands are yours, if you want to be rough, go ahead. Why would I blame you?"
Just as Wen Zhong was about to teach her a lesson, the Lady Mother of the Chariot smiled and gently whisked her hand. A warm and gentle mana surged towards the flying dagger and it was a force that the girl in red could not resist. The blades transformed into white gleams and flew back to her body. Her limbs and bones were ruffled by the gentle yet great force and she almost lost her balance. The girl had to take a step back as she lost control of Wuding.
The girl in red found her balance and could not help but be surprised, "You are amazing!"
The Lady Mother of the Chariot responded calmly, "This is nothing compared to your master, Daoist Lu Ya."
"How did you know?" the girl in red got more surprised.
"I could tell from your choice of weapon. Tell me, why wouldn't someone like your master go and die?" The Lady Mother of the Chariot said sarcastically.
The girl in red was pissed as she said, "An old bag like you should just die."
The Lady Mother of the Chariot was not angry. Instead, she laughed and asked, "Wen Zhong, am I very old?"
Wen Zhong awkwardly responded, "Honored master, you are forever youthful. Nothing about you is old."
The Lady Mother of the Chariot laughed, "I am in fact very old, but I look young. Young lady, you sure are not likable. If no one dares to marry you in the future, how about marrying my grand-disciple?"
The girl in red laughed sneered, "My husband must at least win me. I don't think he can."
Wuding flushed awkwardly. Their mana was pretty much on par with each other. However, her flying dagger was too strange and he was caught off-guard.
If they restarted the fight, the situation would have been a lot more balanced, or at least he would not look like a loser.
The Lady Mother of Chariot grinned, "Wuding is a man of honor. If all goes well, he would definitely outdo you in the future. Your master has taught you the flying dagger but he did not teach you the Celestial Slaying Incantation. It is obvious that he did not see you as a descendant. Come and be my grand-disciple in law. I will teach you everything I know and I can guarantee that whatever he can teach is not as great as what I have to offer." This was an irresistible offer that anyone in the Netherworld would be more than happy to accept.
The girl looked suspiciously and said, "You are indeed powerful but I am still young and eventually I will be more powerful than you. Moreover, I want to marry celestial teacher Qingxuan. Why would I want to be your grand-disciple in law?"
The Lady Mother of the Chariot exclaimed, "Oh, so you know Shen Lian? But if you learn from me, Shen Lian may not be able to outdo you."
"I don't believe you. Celestial teacher Qingxuan is second to none. My master is the second most powerful and you… you could only be ranked third." She wanted to say fourth as she wished to be third but judging from the situation, it was not wise to pick a fight, and thus she chose to sell herself short.
The Lady Mother of the Chariot laughed, "Young lady, you sure are interesting. But you are right. Lu Ya definitely has the upper hand against me in this world. But he is destined to hide from the world so how the hell is he going to fight me? Furthermore, the skills that you learned were incompetent. You have no rights to fight me with your half-assed flying dagger."
The girl in red felt uneasy by the Lady Mother of the Chariot's gaze. It was a gaze that was scarier than her master when he punished her. She made a sheepish expression and said, "Old...I mean little aunt, I have to leave now. My master is calling me to go back for dinner."
The Lady Mother of the Chariot responded, "You can eat here too. If you want to eat dragon liver and phoenix bile, we can provide it all for you."
The girl in red smiled and looked like she was about to accept the offer. However, her face changed as she said, "Master, you are here!" As she uttered her sentence, she transformed into a ray of rainbow light and wanted dash out.
The Lady Mother of the Chariot was unmoved. She flicked her fingers and a puff of smoke turned into a net and trapped the rainbow light.
The girl returned to her original form and struggled to break free.
The Lady Mother of the Chariot said with a gentle voice, "Stop struggling. Your master might be able to escape from this 'Inescapable Net' but you stand no chance at all."
Tears rolled down the girl's cheek, "You are a bully."
The Lady Mother of the Chariot responded, "You are right, I am a bully."
The girl in red cried out loud. But in fact, she took out her flying dagger and attempted to cut the net of Qi. She never expected the flying dagger that she was so proud of could not do anything to the net of Qi.
The net of Qi retracted and was flung across. It hung on to the roof. It swayed in the sky and huddled the girl. She had run out of mana and no clue at all what to do.
The girl in red said ragingly, "Let me go!"
The Lady Mother of the Chariot answered, "It's easy to let you go. But you have to first answer my questions. Are you clear?"
The girl was pissed and mad, "Yes just ask, just ask."
Wuding could not help but let out a laugh.
The girl whined, "What are you laughing at? When I get out of this, I will cut your tongue."
Wuding held his laughter and turned to the Lady Mother of the Chariot, "Grandmaster, I think we should release her. It's not appropriate to tease a young kid."
The Lady Mother of the Chariot laughed, "It is so rare for you to ask for a favor. Alright, I will release you."
The net opened up and the girl in red fell from the net. She thought that she was going to end up hitting the ground but a layer of starry clouds caught her and helped her get up.
