Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 406 - 384 Liu Hongxue’s Choice

"What’s the matter?" Liu Hongxue spoke up at this point.

"Hongxue, you allowed them to follow us. I did not refuse this point, after all, they are your friends, so naturally, I must give you this face,"

"But now, when I ask them to come over, what is this attitude?"

Liu Zhuoyan saw Qin Qing and his two companions unmoved and suddenly became dissatisfied.

"Heh..." At this moment, Qin Qing let out a cold laugh and said, "You sure think highly of yourself. I simply wanted to travel with Hongxue. As for following you? I think there’s no need for that!"

"That’s right!" Cang Yuan nodded as well, "Senior Qin and Miss Hongxue are friends, so we choose to travel with Hongxue. As for you, we merely met by chance. Is it really necessary for you to talk to us like this?"

"Exactly! What’s our relation to you that you think you can order us around!" Zhu Linglong, seeing Cang Yuan and Qin Qing speaking up, also expressed her dissatisfaction.

"What a joke!" Another descendant of the Liu Clan by Liu Zhuoyan’s side sneered, "If it weren’t for us, could you have made it here? I fear you would have already been devoured by the White Jade Tiger!"

"That’s right!" Liu Zhuoyan also said, "Without us, you would have already died under the claws and teeth of the White Jade Tiger. Now, I simply ask you to come over, why is there so much nonsense?"

"Say another useless word, and don’t blame us for being impolite!" the young man beside Liu Zhuoyan warned fiercely.

"Liu Zhuoyan, what do you mean by this!" Liu Hongxue’s face turned cold.

"I’ve already said, Qin Qing is my friend. By talking to him like this now, are you completely disregarding my presence?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhuoyan’s expression slightly changed.

He knew that Qin Qing was a friend of Liu Hongxue, but it seemed he had underestimated how important Qin Qing was to her.

"Hongxue, don’t be angry. We are doing this for you!" Liu Zhuoyan was struggling to suppress his anger, "Indeed, this trip to the Sword Pavilion is partly for our own ends. But we are also entrusted by the clan leader to ensure we get you into the Sword Pond! Hongxue, if you can enter the Sword Pond, then you’ll have the initiative in the competition for the next leader of the Liu Clan!"

Liu Hongxue’s gaze shifted slightly.

Indeed, this factor was part of the reason for her visit to the Sword Pavilion.

Liu Baiying had once come to the Sword Pavilion but eventually did not get the chance to enter the Sword Pond.

If Liu Hongxue managed to get the opportunity to enter the Sword Pond, then she could seize absolute initiative.

Currently, Liu Hongxue’s position in the Liu Clan was actually very precarious, with Liu Baiying’s mother, Zheng Meng’er, constantly manipulating various actions, bribing many of the clan elders and gradually marginalizing Liu Hongxue.

If it weren’t for Liu Chaoxian who had not yet made his stance clear, she might have already been expelled from the Liu Clan.

If Liu Hongxue could enter the Sword Pond this time, then she would be able to completely break away from the current passive situation.

Liu Hongxue frowned slightly and said, "Zhuo ge, I know you are trying to help me! But I’ve made it very clear, Qin Qing is my friend, and you cannot treat them with such an attitude."

"I know... you’re asking them to come over just so they can walk in front and explore the dangers of Sword Valley. But I don’t think that’s necessary!" Liu Hongxue said.

Liu Zhuoyan’s face started to look unpleasant.

At this moment, another team arrived at the entrance of Sword Valley.

Liu Zhuoyan simply stopped talking.

They moved aside.

Wanting to let that team take the lead...

After discussing for a moment, the team gradually entered.

"Pfft!"

All of a sudden, a mist of blood arose.

One of the martial artists was directly eradicated by the Sword Qi.

"Retreat quickly!" someone shouted.

However...

While retreating, the places that had been safe moments ago suddenly burst with Sword Qi.

"Pfft, Pfft!"

Two more martial artists were directly shredded by the Sword Qi.

"Don’t move in panic, or everyone will die here!" the leader of the team shouted.

After a moment, the chaotic situation gradually stabilized.

Meanwhile, Liu Zhuoyan and the others had even more serious expressions on their faces.

This Sword Valley indeed was full of crises.

Just now, they had wanted Qin Qing and the others to go forward to scout the path.

If there was any danger, Qin Qing and his friends would be the first to face it, and they would be the ones to die.

They, on the other hand, could then use the route that Qin Qing and his friends took to avoid danger.

The team inside Sword Valley gradually stabilized and began to probe continuously, finally regaining order. Before long, they disappeared from Qin Qing’s sight.

"It’s our turn now!"

Liu Hongxue’s gaze swept over everyone as she spoke.

However, at this moment, Liu Zhuoyan was unmoved.

Even on his face, there was a trace of a mocking smile.

"Hongxue, since you disagree with them taking the lead, then you go first!" Liu Zhuoyan said with a smile that was not quite a smile.

"What do you mean?" Liu Hongxue frowned.

"What do I mean? I’ve made it very clear!" Liu Zhuoyan shrugged his shoulders and pointed to Qin Qing and the others, "They’re just three outsiders. What’s the problem with me wanting them to go first?"

"Are you insisting that we should go in front to face death? Every person here is a descendant of the Liu Clan! You, Hongxue, are noble, you are kind, you can’t bear to let your friend die, then you can bear to watch our kin march to their deaths?" Liu Zhuoyan said angrily.
