While on Mount Hua, my mind is at peace!

Chapter 117 Taking Responsibility to the End

Yun Ruoyu was so ashamed she wanted to disappear. She wrapped the blanket tightly around herself, making her graceful figure appear and disappear. Yue Feng, however, felt a surge of lust and couldn't help but look away. After a while, Yun Ruoyu finally said, "...It still hurts."

Yue Feng reached out a hand and precisely located Yun Ruoyu's lower abdomen, pressing it against it through the blanket. He used his inner energy to regulate Yun Ruoyu's meridians, and within moments, the pain in Yun Ruoyu's lower body was indeed greatly relieved, though her body couldn't help but tremble slightly. Yue Feng withdrew his hand at the opportune moment and said:

"Sect Master Yun, although I was unconscious when it happened, I suspect you must have made that sacrifice to save me. I, Yue Feng, will never forget this kindness and virtue. I will obey any command you may give, Sect Master Yun, and I will be responsible for you to the very end."

After a long silence under the covers, Yun Ruoyu slowly peeked out from the top edge of the blanket, her eyes glazed, and asked Yue Feng, "I wonder if Chief Yue's 'taking responsibility to the end' is the kind I'm looking for?"

Yue Feng couldn't believe his ears for a moment, staring blankly at Yun Ruoyu. Yun Ruoyu's beautiful face was flushed red, but she bravely looked back at Yue Feng. Yue Feng finally believed that what he had just heard was true, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

A smile crept onto his lips as he looked at Yun Ruoyu and said with a hint of mockery, "It seems the true nature of the renowned Heavenly Sword Sect Master is quite different from what outsiders know."

Yun Ruoyu laughed and said, "You're only realizing this now? I thought you already understood it when you were by the Sword Spring."

Yue Feng shook his head: "I was unconscious at the time, so I didn't know much. But now I want to understand it better and also verify whether my 'taking full responsibility' is the kind of responsibility that Sect Master Yun wants."

Yun Ruoyu quickly wrapped herself tighter in the blanket: "Don't do anything rash, I'm not in pain anymore..."

Yue Feng chuckled and leaned closer: "It's alright, I have a special method, I guarantee I'll clean up the mess for you."

"If Zhao'er can't find me in a while, she should come over..."

"The situation up the mountain will keep her busy until noon. Besides, she's already here, so I'm not going to bother hiding it from her anymore."

"Ouch, be gentle... um..."

As a result, from midnight until dawn, Yue Feng cleaned up after Yun Ruoyu five times before they both went to sleep satisfied.

By the time Yue Feng woke up, it was almost noon. Just as Yue Feng had predicted, Xiong Zhaozhao was so busy that she didn't have time to look for Yun Ruoyu.

Yue Feng woke Yun Ruoyu up, personally helped her wash and dress, and then ate with her in the room. Having been nourished by Yue Feng all night, Yun Ruoyu was radiant, like a spring flower in full bloom. Yue Feng's lust was uncontrollably rising; after finally finishing his meal, he cleaned up after Yun Ruoyu once more before finally stopping.

Ever since Yun Ruoyu tasted the forbidden fruit by the Sword Spring, she had become addicted to it. Seeing Yue Feng so infatuated with her body, she not only didn't refuse him, but was secretly pleased with herself. After a long while, the clouds cleared and the rain stopped. The two tidied up, and Yue Feng took out the "Azure Cloud Sword Manual" and handed it to Yun Ruoyu.

"I've already read this book, and now I'm returning it to its rightful owner."

Yun Ruoyu didn't mind Yue Feng browsing through the "Cangyun Sword Scripture" on his own at all. In her mind now, let alone the "Cangyun Sword Scripture," she would give Yue Feng all the secret manuals of the Heavenly Sword Sect without hesitation.

She happily accepted the sword manual, only to hear Yue Feng say, "You stay here and rest while I go interrogate Xie Shengling."

Yun Ruoyu obediently agreed, took a small sword-shaped token from her waist, and handed it to Yue Feng, saying, "This is our sect's 'Heavenly Sword Token.' Holding this token is as if the sect leader is personally present. Do whatever you want."

Yue Feng naturally wouldn't stand on ceremony with her. He took the token, kissed her lips, and left gracefully.

He inquired with a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect about the location where Xie Shenglin was being held, and then went there directly. All the Heavenly Sword Sect disciples he encountered along the way bowed respectfully to him, as they all knew about Yue Feng's actions the previous night.

The place where the Heavenly Sword Sect imprisoned prisoners was a large, secluded house, simple in appearance, but heavily guarded. Yue Feng, holding Yun Ruoyu's Heavenly Sword Token, naturally had no obstacles in his passage.

Upon entering the room, one found nothing but a few extremely thick and tall beams. Xie Shengling was bound to one of these beams with heavy iron chains, his feet off the ground, and blood flowed down the beam, pooling at its base.

Xie Sheng's Qi Sea was shattered, rendering his martial arts useless; his manhood was also severed by Yue Feng's blade, causing him to bleed for half a day. Even so, he was still clinging to life.

Yue Feng asked the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect to splash him with cold water to wake him up. As soon as Xie Shenglin saw Yue Feng, he was like a ghost, struggling desperately, making the iron chains rattle loudly.

The disciples were quite nervous and were about to step forward. Yue Feng stopped them and asked them to leave temporarily, as he wanted to interrogate Xie Shengling alone.

Seeing that Yue Feng didn't seem intent on torturing him further, Xie Shengling gradually calmed down. Yue Feng observed Xie Shengling's change and leisurely asked, "In your opinion, how does my martial arts compare to your father's?"

Xie Shenglin said, "My father hasn't made a move in a long time, and even if he did, I wouldn't be able to gauge the depth of his martial arts skills. However, he is old and frail after all, so he's probably no match for you."

Yue Feng gave a cold laugh, and Xie Shenglin couldn't help but shiver.

"Stop with the empty talk, I don't want to hear it. I'll ask you one more question. If you answer well, I'll let you go, provided you keep quiet about what I'm talking about; if you don't answer well, hehe..."

Xie Shenglin hurriedly replied, "Chief Yue, please ask. I will answer to the best of my knowledge."

Yue Feng said, "What weaknesses does your father have? Whether it's in martial arts or personality, tell me everything you can think of."

Xie Shenglin said, "My father is a very shrewd and skilled man with almost no weaknesses. The only one who could be considered a weakness is my sister-in-law, whom everyone in the family calls Madam Ji."

"Madam Ji holds something my father desires but cannot obtain. He dares not kill her, nor even go too far with her..."

Yue Feng interrupted Xie Shenglin: "Madam Ji is blind and has broken legs. Isn't that going too far? Then I'd like to know what would be considered going too far for your Xie family."

Xie Shenglin said, "Chief Yue, you misunderstand. Madam Ji destroyed her own eyes and legs. If she hadn't been so fierce, my father would have had his way with her long ago. How could she have survived until today?"

Yue Feng frowned and pondered for a moment, then said, "According to you, to find your father's weakness, we have to start with Madam Ji?"

Xie Shenglin said, "Yes. However, Madam Ji has extremely high standards, and ordinary people are simply beneath her notice. If you want to seek cooperation with her, you must obtain her approval first."

Yue Feng gave a faint "hmm." Xie Shenglin then said, "Chief Yue, I have answered your question. Please have mercy and spare my life."

Yue Feng raised an eyebrow in surprise: "I only said I would let you go. When did I ever say I would spare your life? After I killed you, I removed your chains. Isn't that the same as letting you go?"

As he spoke, Xie Shenglin's eyes suddenly bulged out as a finger force pierced his heart.
