"Bai Moyu, are you mad? Although there has always been bad blood between our families, we have a mutual agreement to not rob or kill each other. What are you trying to do now?" Yun Chuyi felt his heart sink. Right then, everyone was exhausted, and it was impossible for them to fight back. Even if they fought, they would definitely be killed.
Bai Moyu sneered. "All of you should be grateful to Yun Chujiu. If she hadn't offended me first, I wouldn't be so cruel. I'll kill all of you so that the Yun family will have no offspring! Hahaha! I'd like to see just how you can even think about opposing the Bai family by then!"
Yun Chuqi glared at Yun Chujiu fiercely. As for Yun Chushan, she had a strange expression as if she was cooking something up in her mind.
Yun Chujiu never expected Bai Moyu to do such a thing. 'Seriously, he's a real sinister one!'
Unless the Yun family managed to completely retreat today, they would definitely hold a grudge against her. Yun Chujiu would not be able to gain a footing in the Yun family in the future as well.
"Bai Moyu, Young Jiu only scammed five hundred thousand taels of silver from you. We can just return it to you once we get back." Yun Chuyi hoped to buy them some time. Once everyone's stamina recovered, they might actually have a winning chance.
Bai Morou walked out from the back, and she looked savage. "Brother, you don't have to talk to them. Just kill them! Pass Yun Chujiu to me, I'm going to kill her myself!"
Yun Chushan suddenly spoke up. "Young Master Moyu, Miss Morou, since Yun Chujiu is the cause of this problem, we can just hand her over to you. There's no need for us to make a big fuss over this. Even if you really fight with us, you might not be able to achieve complete victory."
A thought then materialized in Bai Moyu's head. "Third Lady, what you've said is reasonable. All right! As long as you leave Yun Chujiu behind, all of you can leave immediately."
"Chushan, enough with the nonsense! Young Jiu is our sister. There is no way we are abandoning her!" Yun Chuyi rebuked Yun Chushan.
"Big Brother, I can't bear leaving Young Jiu behind too, but we can't just cast away the majority for the minority. Are all of us going to get killed because of her? Young Jiu, tell us, shouldn't you be responsible for this?" Yun Chushan asked Yun Chujiu, as though she could not bear the thought of sacrificing her too.
However, before Yun Chujiu could say anything, Yun Chuwu became the first to oppose Yun Chushan's decision. "No! I won't agree to it! I'll never hand Young Jiu over to them! If worse comes to worst, we can just fight them to the death!"
"I won't stand for this too! I'm not afraid to die at all! I'll just be reincarnated, and twelve years later, I'll still be a man! I, Yun Chuba, will not betray my sister just so that I can survive!"
"Exactly! At worst, we can all die together and become siblings again in our next life!" Yun Chulu forced himself to stand, and he carried his large saber so that he could shield Yun Chujiu.
"Chushi, Chuqi, what do you say?" Yun Chuyi looked at Yun Chushi and Yun Chuqi.
Yun Chushi smiled coldly."We, members of the Yun family are willing to fight to the death instead of staying alive without dignity! If you want to kill Young Jiu, you will need to do it over my dead body!"
"Chuqi, what about you?" Yun Chushan's face was a little pale. She did not expect that within just a few days, Yun Chujiu, who had been disliked by everyone, would gain so much popularity! She looked at Yun Chuqi. 'Yun Chuqi is always treating Yun Chujiu as if she's her greatest enemy, she'll definitely side with me!'
"Hmph! Yun Chujiu might be a rascal, but that's a private matter within the Yun family. Members of the Bai family, who do you think you are? Yun Chujiu still needs to remain alive to be my punching bag!" Yun Chuqi forced herself to stand up as well, and she brandished the sword in her hands.
Yun Chushan was shocked. She had thought that at the very least, Yun Chuqi would stand by her side.
Yun Chujiu was extremely shocked as well. "Seventh sister! It's no wonder why you always cause me trouble! So that's your love for me!"
Yun Chuqi gave Yun Chujiu a death glare. "Get lost!"
Yun Chushan felt deep loathing in her heart. She could not understand why these people would want to protect Yun Chujiu even at the risk of death. Still, she smiled bashfully and said, "Since everyone is so fearless, I will naturally not fear death as well. Come, let us die together!"
Bai Moyu looked at the Yun family members, a sinister look creeping along his features. "Since you want to die so much, don't blame me for doing this. Go! Leave none alive!"
"Wait! Wait!" Yun Chujiu skipped to the front and said, "You can just kill me, let my brothers and sisters leave."
"Young Jiu! Come back!" Yun Chuwu immediately reached out to pull Yun Chujiu back.
"Young Jiu!" Yun Chuyi and the others also stood in front of Yun Chujiu to shield her.
"Yun Chujiu! Get your stupid *ss over here!" Yun Chuqi glared at Yun Chujiu.
Yun Chujiu pretended to be strong and smiled at everyone. "I understand your kindness toward me, my brothers and sisters. Third Sister is right. I can't have everyone die because of me! When all of you go back, please just give me a grand funeral and offer more joss papers on the first and fifteenth of every lunar month for me. Oh, and good food! That'll do!"
"Nonsense! Young Jiu, we'll not abandon you!" Yun Chuyi scowled at Yun Chushan when he heard what Yun Chujiu said. 'I know that this third sister of mine is a scheming individual, but I didn't expect her to be so selfish!'
The other members of the Yun family also looked at Yun Chushan in disapproval, and they, too, tried to persuade Yun Chujiu from sacrificing herself.
Yun Chushan lowered her head, losing the courage to meet the people's gazes. In her heart was a deep hatred for Yun Chujiu. 'Yun Chujiu, you better die today. Or else, I'll kill you one day with my own hands!'
"Big Brother, you don't have to say anything else, I've made up my mind! I've wronged the Yun family many times in the past, and you can think of this as me making up to all my wrongdoings. Bai Morou, didn't you say you want to kill me? Just kill me if you have the guts to do so, don't be all bark and no bite — you better not disappoint me!" Yun Chujiu suddenly wrenched herself from Yun Chuwu's grasp and rushed toward Bai Morou.
Bai Morou's eyes had been bloodshot for some time. When she saw Yun Chujiu run toward her, she lifted her sword and slashed at Yun Chujiu.
The members of the Yun family wanted to move forward, but they were blocked by the Bai family after a wave from Bai Moyu's hand.
Bai Moyu did not move forward to help Bai Morou. In his mind, he believed that Morou must have been careless and fell for Yun Chujiu's trap last time. Now, she would definitely be able to kill Yun Chujiu, and in turn, prevent this incident from turning into an inner demon that would plague her during her cultivation in the future.
'Also, even if Morou is in danger, it'll never be too late for me to help. There's no way I, someone at the Fourth Level in Spirit Refinement Realm, would not be able to deal with a piece of trash!'
Right after Bai Moyu thought of this, he heard a horrible shriek.
"Big Brother, save me!"
Bai Moyu turned around and saw Yun Chujiu holding a sword against Bai Morou's neck. Her right arm hung unnaturally limp by her side — a clear sign that it was dislocated.
'What happened?'
Bai Moyu could not believe what he saw! In just around ten breaths, Morou had actually been suppressed by that sorry excuse of a human being?
The members of the Yun family were shocked as well. But they had managed to see all that transpired.
When Bai Morou's sword went for Yun Chujiu, Yun Chujiu moved around Bai Morou with bizarre movements and hit Bai Morou's shoulder with a knife hand strike. The sword on Bai Morou's hand was then grabbed by Yun Chujiu, and immediately after, Yun Chujiu had pressed the blade against Bai Morou's neck.
The entire process had lasted only around the span of ten breaths, and the members of the Bai family had not even managed to register what had happened.
For a period of time, both the Bai family and Yun family were a little dumbfounded. 'Isn't Yun Chujiu supposed to be trash who can't cultivate…?'
Just what sort of skill did she possess to subjugate Bai Morou with just one move? It had to be known that she was at the Third Level in Spirit Refinement Realm! Even someone at the Fifth Level in Spirit Refinement Realm might not be able to do that! Had Yun Chujiu been hiding her skills all this while?
Yun Chujiu bared her teeth. "Bai Moyu, take your people and go, or else, I'll kill Bai Morou!"
Bai Moyu's face was livid with rage. He resented Bai Morou for her incompetence. It was all her fault that his plan had been completely ruined!
"Let go of Morou first, and I'll let you all leave," Bai Moyu said with a gloomy look.
"Do you think I'm dumb? I'll let go of Bai Morou when we're safely back home." But Yun Chujiu was a cunning person. There was no way she would be fooled!
