Although his attempt failed, Bai Xiaosheng still smiled sinisterly and sighed:

"What a pity, I couldn't kill that damned man."

He is now the prime suspect in the theft of the scriptures, and all his previous schemes at Shaolin have come to naught.

Bai Xiaosheng thus harbored a deep grudge against Afei and was determined to kill him.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, and that Chu Liuxiang's attention was not on him, he made his move decisively.

Chu Liuxiang was filled with rage as he watched a young life slip away before his eyes.

He took a single step, covering dozens of feet in an instant, and flew to Bai Xiaosheng's side. Grabbing Bai Xiaosheng by the collar, he pulled him up and demanded in a deep voice:

"I have heard of the great reputation of 'Pinghu Baixiaosheng' (a pseudonym), but I never expected him to be such a despicable and ruthless villain."

"How can you live up to the respect that the people of the martial arts world have for you?"

Bai Xiaosheng seemed to have heard the funniest joke, and burst into laughter, saying:

"Is Chu Xiangshuai so naive? The martial world is a life-or-death struggle. If you dare to infringe on the interests of others, you should be prepared to be killed."

"I've heard that Chu Liuxiang has three beautiful confidantes. If they were violated, would he still be able to refrain from killing them?"

It was common knowledge in the martial arts world that Chu Liuxiang was accompanied by three beautiful young girls.

Each of them can be described as having a beautiful face and graceful figure.

But everyone knows that the three are Chu Liuxiang's "sisters", so very few people dare to make a move on them.

Chu Liuxiang was taken aback upon hearing this. Instead of softening, his expression turned to one of disappointment towards Bai Xiaosheng.

He gently shook his head and said:

"These are two different things; you're just making excuses."

As he spoke, his fingers moved with lightning speed, striking Bai Xiaosheng's pressure points, and then he said:

"You should reflect on your actions at Shaolin Temple. Your deeds will be known throughout the world."

"In time, everyone will know what kind of person the renowned 'All-Knowing Scholar' really is."

Then he left Bai Xiaosheng on the spot and turned back to check on A Fei and Xing Nu's injuries.

Chu Liuxiang first checked Xingnu's injuries.

Fortunately, although the girl was injured by the iron pen, it did not cause any vital injuries.

After the judge's pen is removed, she just needs to rest and recuperate.

I don't have any ointment on hand right now, so I can't move for the time being.

Ah Fei's condition was more serious. Although he did not have any serious external injuries, the true energy carried by Xin Zhu's finger strike had a real impact on his internal organs.

"what?"

Chu Liuxiang was taken aback. He noticed that A Fei's breathing was rapidly calming down.

When I checked his pulse, it was surprising that Afei's pulse was also rapidly stabilizing.

He was somewhat astonished. What kind of internal energy cultivation did this child practice?

Ah Fei's injuries were able to heal quickly, thanks to the "Lianhua Baojian" (a book on the precious mirror of pity for flowers).

He felt as if he had been unconscious for a while, and in the last moment before losing consciousness, he felt a soft and warm touch on the corner of his lips.

Afei quickly opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was Chu Liuxiang.

Chu Liuxiang asked with concern:

"Ah Fei, you're awake?"

Seeing Ah Fei nod, he smiled with relief.

Afei felt a heaviness on his body, looked down, and realized that it was Xingnu who had fainted.

Her soft, supple body clung tightly to Ah Fei, with an iron pen stuck in her shoulder.

The blood stained Xingnu's monk's robes blackish-brown, like a ghostly hand baring its fangs at Afei.

Ah Fei felt a jolt in his heart. Could it be...?

He wiped his lips, a metallic sweet taste filling his mouth, and wondered if the blood on his hand was his own or that of Xingnu.

Frowning, A-Fei looked up at Chu Liuxiang and asked:

"They're Star Slaves..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chu Liuxiang sighed and nodded in reply:

"This girl almost lost her life to Bai Xiaosheng while trying to save you."

"If it weren't for her, I'm afraid I would have had to apologize to Brother Li."

Although Chu Liuxiang did not make any promises to Li Xunhuan when he left "Li Garden".

But in his own view, since he had gotten involved in this matter, he couldn't let his colleagues get hurt.

But life is full of disappointments, and of the people who set off together, only he and Afei remained alive, some dead and some injured.

Thinking of this, Chu Liuxiang couldn't help but give a bitter smile.

Ah Fei seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and shook his head, saying:

"Brother Chu, you don't need to blame yourself. If it weren't for your protection along the way, I wouldn't have been able to reach Shaolin Temple safely."

"Besides, you also helped clear my name of suspicion for stealing the scriptures."

Although Chu Liuxiang has not made a move many times since they met, A Fei did not find it inappropriate, after all, the two had different views.

Chu Liuxiang upholds the principle of equality of life and has been practicing this principle.

It's at least much better than the hypocrisy of those Shaolin monks.

Chu Liuxiang touched his nose and smiled:

"I didn't do anything. You cleared your name on your own. To be honest, your disguise skills are truly amazing."

He did not press further about the secret of the disguise technique.

Chu Liuxiang knew that if someone has a secret, a good friend should be tolerant.

However, Afei's mind was already on Xingnu.

Although his internal energy has recovered somewhat, it is extremely limited.

But even with his limited true energy, he had to heal some of Xingnu's injuries first.

Who can guarantee that Bai Xiaosheng's broken pen won't cause tetanus?

Ah Fei helped Xing Nu over and let her nestle in his arms.

One hand reached into Xingnu's collar to cover the wound, while the other gripped the pen.

Chu Liuxiang was taken aback. He thought A-Fei was going to pull out the iron pen directly, so he quickly said:

"Ah Fei, you'll worsen her injuries..."

Afei glanced at him and said:

"Don't worry, I know a little about medicine, treating this kind of injury shouldn't be a problem."

"Moreover, Brother Chu will definitely not spread the word that I know medicine."

As he spoke, he smiled at Chu Liuxiang.

Chu Liuxiang was relieved and then turned his gaze elsewhere.

Ah Fei's current medical skills are the "living body" bestowed upon him by the seventh layer of the "Pitying Flower Precious Mirror".

As long as the person is not fatally injured and is still alive, they can be saved.

Ah Fei gathered his inner energy in his palm and then suddenly pulled out the Judge's Pen with his other hand.

With a clang, the iron pen fell to the ground and collided with other weapons.

The intense pain woke Xingnu up; her delicate body trembled, and she let out a scream.

Ah Fei held her down firmly and quickly treated her injuries.

However, his face grew paler and paler, and his hands trembled slightly.

In a daze, Xingnu touched Afei's face and kept murmuring:

"Thank goodness, you're still here, thank goodness..."

Ah Fei smiled faintly and said:

"Don't worry, I'll always be here."

Even when he was seriously injured, he was not completely unconscious, and he was fully aware of Xingnu's feelings.

The moment the girl risked her life to save him, Afei couldn't help but feel a soft spot in his heart being touched.

He wanted the girl; she was great.

Ah Fei was even thinking about how to poach Xing Nu from the "Yihua Palace" to his side.

He didn't want to wait until he was powerful enough to annex the "Flower Palace" before bringing this girl to his side.

That would take too long; he seizes every minute.

Afei's true energy continuously repaired Xingnu's injuries. Although the injuries were not fully healed, Xingnu had regained consciousness.

She felt Ah Fei's warm palm, and a warm current flowed from that palm into her body.

This warmth made Xingnu even forget the excruciating pain of her wounds.

Her beautiful eyes stared intently into A-Fei's eyes, so gentle it was as if a clear spring was welling up from them, wanting to envelop A-Fei.

Xingnu desperately wanted Afei's hand to move down a little further, all the way down, until the boy realized how good he was.

Unfortunately, the timing wasn't right, for example, Chu Liuxiang was right beside him.
