I was reborn after cheating on the aloof and powerful man.

Chapter 170: Trying to cover up the obvious

With a fluttering fan and palms as sharp as cold blades, the Five Poisons Palm strikes wherever it touches, easily cleaving the immortals in two like watermelons, their heads and bodies severed.

Shi Mo stared blankly at the unfamiliar woman who was running towards her, who had claimed to be her master's friend and apprentice.

Behind the woman, a disheveled old man she had met once before in the dilapidated temple slowly walked out.

She had never seen such a master as that elegant young man who could kill people as easily as slicing melons.

"Has he had another episode?"

"Brother Han, I beg you, please stop thinking about it!"

Startled awake by the woman's words, Shi Mo, ignoring the pain in his foot, dragged his injured leg with difficulty to Lian Duhan's side.

She held the man tightly, who was wailing and crying in pain, her tears flowing freely as she pleaded. Helplessly, she could only let the tears keep rolling down her face and soak his shoulder, powerless to change anything.

"Get out of here! I want him dead! I will never be manipulated again, never!"

With ruthless force, he pushed Shi Mo away, causing him to fall heavily to the ground.

A person with a splitting headache has long forgotten everything, not even where they are or who they are.

He just wanted to tear the whole world apart and destroy everything that was so fake and disgusting!

"Grandpa!"

Before Shi Mo could recover from his grief, he heard the woman call out for the disheveled old man.

Without a word, the old man flashed and appeared behind Lian Duhan, sealing the increasingly abnormal man with a finger.

Before Shi Mo could see clearly, the woman had already pulled out a wrapped needle pouch from her bosom.

In a short while, the silver needle pierced straight into Lian Duhan's Baihui acupoint.

The person, who had been in excruciating pain and whose face had turned deathly pale, suddenly fell silent. As the body calmed down, the upper and lower eyelids closed tightly.

Lian Duhan's body swayed, and he actually fainted and fell into a deep sleep.

"Brother Han!!!"

"He's fine..."

"Fei Xi, what have you done?!"

Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted. Fei Xi pouted and looked at Bian Yuan, who was walking towards her and questioning her sharply, with a displeased expression.

Didn't they say the person was about to die?

Are you teasing her?

He's still lively and energetic, and he even has the mood to find fault with her.

Fei Xi was too lazy to explain further. Her hands kept moving, and she pricked the person with several needles. After confirming that the person was temporarily out of danger, she put away the needle pouch and put it back into her bosom.

"Master...master!"

"Sister Shimo, what's wrong with your foot? Let me take a look."

After administering the acupuncture, Fei Xi deliberately turned her back to the person who came, appearing as if she couldn't even be bothered to look at them.

The maid on the ground glanced left at her master, then right at her beloved not far away. The pain in her ankle, as if triggered by Fei Xi's words, became unbearable.

Not only was she not stupid, but she was actually quite clever. She instantly realized that Fei Xi must have used the same trick again to save Lian Duhan.

Even though she knew the truth, she still couldn't hide her worry and wanted to get closer to Lian Duhan to confirm whether her beloved was really safe and sound.

However, she did not do so.

She didn't crawl over to find her beloved; instead, she followed her instincts and looked up at her master walking towards her.

"Master, Shi Mo and Senior Brother Lian have come to rescue you. We are extremely fortunate to find you safe and sound."

Why is she here?

"This... Fei? Miss Fei, didn't you refuse to come with me to save my master? How did you know my master was here? You were following me! Ah!"

A quick-thinking person can see the truth in a single sentence.

The people present had different expressions, and the old man looked around strangely. Before the others could figure out the meaning behind Shi Mo's words, their attention was diverted by his painful scream.

Fei Xi grasped Shi Mo's foot, her movements steady, interrupting him at just the right moment.

"Your joint was slightly misaligned, but we have helped you recover. For now, please avoid strenuous activity when walking and rest for a while."

"Hmm? Oh? It really doesn't hurt anymore!"
