You expect me to serve your mistress? The mistress is driving this scumbag and his entire family cra

Chapter 88 Taking advantage of others’ danger
Just as Liang Jiang regained her footing, Demon Lord Baili Shouyue casually slapped Gu Xizhi in the chest.

With her body suspended in mid-air and no foothold, it would be difficult for Gu Xizhi to shift her position and dodge this palm strike.

Liang Jiang quickly shouted, "Junior Uncle, show mercy!"

Baili Shouyue glanced at Liang Jiang, paused, and withdrew some of his strength.

Gu Xizhi lightly used the momentum of her right toe to touch the instep of her left foot and quickly dodged, but she was still swept by Baili Shouyue's palm wind, causing her to stagger and barely land on a protruding rock, her body swaying twice.

Baili Shouyue also stood on one leg, turned his head and smiled at Liang Jiang with a slight smile, both surprised and delighted: "Little girl, it's you? Long time no see."

Liang Jiang nodded: "It's been more than two years."

"I went to Yuhua Mountain twice, but I couldn't wait for you."

Liang Jiang gave a soft "hmm": "Something happened at home."

“I know,” Baili Shouyue said in a deep voice, “which is why I’ve been waiting for you to come to me.”

Liang Jiang blinked: "What do you want?"

"You want me to avenge you? I told you, if anyone bullies you, come find me. Turns out, you didn't really consider me a friend, you just saw me as your junior uncle."

Liang Jiang's nose tingled with emotion: "If I can't beat those people, I'll ask you to back me up."

“That’s right,” Baili Shouyue glanced at Gu Xizhi: “Officials are all cunning and treacherous, not a single one of them is good. If you deal with them, you must be very careful and not be fooled by their sweet words.”

"Wait here for a moment. After I've dealt with this scoundrel, we'll find a tavern and catch up properly."

Liang Jiang felt awkward and didn't know how to bring up the purpose of her visit to Baili Shouyue.

"Junior Uncle, I have come here today for this very reason."

Baili Shouyue pointed at Gu Xizhi, his face darkening: "You want to help him? Are you on good terms with him?"

Liang Jiang glanced at Gu Xizhi and nodded against her will: "He has a past favor to my family."

Baili Shouyue snorted lightly: "For your sake, I will spare his life and not hold it against him. But this Golden Longevity Star, this Demon Lord has taken a liking to him."

Liang Jiang cut to the chase, saying, "I'm afraid someone is deliberately trying to harm you regarding the matter of Jin Shouxing."

Baili Shouyue was taken aback: "Where did you get this idea?"

“My mother said that these people deliberately stole the tribute and gave it to you in order to frame you and use the court to get rid of you.”

Baili Shouyue glanced at Gu Xizhi, then looked at Liang Jiang: "If I were afraid, I wouldn't dare accept it. I like this birthday celebrant, and he's just plundered the people's hard-earned money, so he deserves to be robbed."

"Are you planning to give it to my master?"

"good."

“But if you send it to Yuhua Mountain, wouldn’t that cause trouble for my master?” Liang Jiang said anxiously, “My master will be angry!”

Baili Shouyue glanced at the bundle on his body and hesitated for a moment: "Then fine, I'll trust you this once. But I won't hand this birthday gift over to that dog of a prince so he can take it back and claim credit."

Baili Shouyue took the bundle off his back and threw it directly at Liang Jiang: "Same as always, from now on, it's yours. Do with it as you please."

Liang Jiang was surprised that he would hand over the Golden Longevity Star to her so readily, and hurriedly reached out to take it.

Just then, something unexpected happened.

Taking advantage of Baili Shouyue's distraction, Gu Xizhi, who had been silent all along, suddenly launched a sneak attack from behind, delivering a powerful palm strike to Baili Shouyue's back.

This palm strike was so powerful that it sent the rocks flying.

Liang Jiang was terrified and cried out, "Watch out!"

It was still too late. Baili Shouyue was struck by Gu Xizhi's palm, let out a muffled groan, and flew up like a kite with a broken string, plummeting down the cliff. Liang Jiang caught Jin Shouxing and also leaped forward without hesitation, flying towards Baili Shouyue.

On one side of the cliff, Guan Qi and the others exclaimed in unison.

Seeing her fighting so desperately, Gu Xizhi also leaped up, holding a sword in one hand and grabbing Liang Jiang's wrist, which was carrying the bundle, with the other, and shouted urgently, "Go up!"

He flung the ginger back onto the cliff.

He then inserted his longsword into the crevice in the rock, using the force to bounce back to where he landed.

The mountain wind howled, the situation below the cliff was unclear, and Baili Shouyue's fate was unknown.

Liang Jiang's eyes instantly turned red, and she lunged fiercely at Gu Xizhi.

"Shameless! Give him back his life!"

Approaching Gu Xizhi, he unleashed a series of deadly attacks.

Gu Xizhi hadn't expected Liang Jiang to be so unassuming, possessing such sharp skills. He retreated repeatedly, saying, "Let me explain!"

"What's there to explain?" Liang Jiang retorted like an angry little tiger: "He had already handed over the Golden Longevity Star, why did you try to kill him? A sneak attack from behind, shameless and despicable!"

If the two were to fight to the death, and the outcome were fair, even if Baili Shouyue died at his hands, Liang Jiang would not be so enraged.

What angered her was that Gu Xizhi's actions were shameless and despicable, and undoubtedly placed him in an unjust and immoral position.

The two were on a steep cliff. Liang Jiang seemed to have lost her mind. If she was not careful, she would be smashed to pieces.

Gu Xizhi had no choice but to feint, forcing her back two steps, before leaping back onto the platform.

Liang Jiang followed closely, snatched the long sword from the maid's hand, and thrust it towards Gu Xizhi's chest.

"Take your life!"

The two maids were terrified. The other party was a prince! If their mistress really hurt him, wouldn't she be punished?

They rushed forward to stop them.

Guanqi and the others naturally couldn't just stand by and watch their prince get beaten, so they quickly surrounded him to protect him.

The scene was chaotic for a while.

Gu Xizhi angrily rebuked, "Insolence! A ruthless killer like you deserves to be killed by everyone. If you continue to act recklessly and do not restrain yourself, I will not be so polite."

Liang Jiang was filled with guilt. If she had known this would happen, she shouldn't have come!

Just as Baili Shouyue said, there is not a single good person in the imperial court.

With red eyes, she still didn't care: "He didn't kill those people in Qingzhou. He told me that the Vajra Pestle doesn't kill innocent people!"

"So what? He slaughtered thirty-six people when he first entered the world, and countless others have died at his hands since. I, the King, act on behalf of Heaven; he deserved to die!"

"Bullshit! You only know that he killed thirty-six people, but do you know how these hypocritical righteous people tortured and slaughtered his entire family in order to obtain the Baili family's secret recipe?"

He watched helplessly as his dearest loved ones fell one by one before him, their blood flowing like a river! If you were in his shoes, could you remain unmoved?

Those who claim to be eliminating evil in the martial arts world are just using this as a pretext to do despicable, shameless, and greedy things.

Even you! You seem so virtuous, yet you resort to sneak attacks to gain merit. How are you any different from these people?!

While cursing, he showed no mercy and relentlessly pressed Gu Xizhi forward.
