Chapter 203: Holy Maiden of the Li Palace

Tang Zheng did not ask Li Xiaotian why he was framed. Since she said so, it was well thought out. Any of his rebuttal would end up in vain.

Fang Shishi knew the character of her boyfriend well and he would never kill for no reason. So she burst into a rage, like a lioness guarding her cubs, “Xiaotian, why are you framing a good man?”

“I’m just telling the truth,” Li Xiaotian said as she showed that she was wronged.

“Come with us.” The policemen fiercely shouted and interrupted the conversation between the two people.

Tang Zheng looked cold. Suddenly, his hand shot out like a lightning bolt and rested on Xiao Xiaoleng’s waist. Before Xiao Xiaoleng could react to it, a cold shiny light flashed as a flexible sword was exposed.

Xiao Xiaoleng reaction was so quick that when the flexible sword was only exposed for a few centimeters, his placed his hand on the sword hilt and shook back Tang Zheng’s hand.

But it was too late as everyone saw his flexible sword in his waist.

The policemen exploded and loudly shouted, “Don’t move!” They did not expect Tang Zheng to dare move at gunpoint, and he was so quick too.

What was more important was that Xiao Xiaoleng’s weapon exposed from his waist making him look very hostile. Only evil men would hide their swords so secretly. Therefore, they suspected Xiao Xiaoleng more than Tang Zheng in this moment.

A gun was aimed at Tang Zheng, and the other was directed at Xiao Xiaoleng.

Li Xiaotian looked at all this in surprise. She finally realized that Tang Zheng was an expert in hiding. She even made an unexpected mistake. It was awful.

Nevertheless, it became more interesting, and with a sinister smile on her lips, she exclaimed in disbelief, “Ah, there’s a sword here. I’m scared.”

Then she rushed to the direction of the police. “Brother police, you must protect me. I am so scared.”

Perhaps she had experience that the last time Tang Zheng took advantage of her, and did not jump to the arms of the policeman. But blocked the muzzle of the gun aiming at Xiao Xiaoleng.

The policeman looked at her and shouted anxiously, “Miss, get out of the way.”

But it was too late, Xiao Xiaoleng as an assassin, grasped the wonderful opportunity when Li Xiaotian rushed passed by, instantly launched an attack.

Whoosh!

The flexible sword was completely drawn out, like a poisonous snake, heading towards Tang Zheng’s throat.

Tang Zheng saw his circumstance wasn’t good. He could not take care of the muzzle of the policeman. He grabbed the iron box from the Fang Shishi’s hand, sparks splashing in all direction.

“Don’t move, or I will shoot!”

The policeman was shocked and unexpectedly under the aim of the gun, these two men dared to start a fight. Looking at the shimmering flexible sword, which seemed to fit more closely with the wound of the deceased. They knew that this cold man was the biggest suspect and could never let him escape.

Moreover, the train was in a closed space with a large number of people. Such a dangerous force could suddenly injure the rest of the passengers. The consequences would be dreadful. They must take care of them in this narrow space.

So the two officers slightly hesitated before pulling the trigger.

Bang! Bang!

Two dull shots, bullets whistled out. In such a narrow space, bullets were very dangerous.

Tang Zheng stood still and erected the iron box in front of him. The bullet penetrated the iron box but was blocked by the War Spirit sword. The other bullet almost scratched Li Xiaotian’s body as it flew passed her. The police deliberately fired avoiding her, but that caused the aim’s accuracy to lessen.

Xiao Xiaoleng did not move at all, the bullet passed by, broke through the window, flew out, as a small cold wind blew from the bullet hole.

“Hold your head and kneel down!”

When the policeman saw that the bullets had not hurt anyone from the other side, he was sure it aroused a fierce resistance from them, so he shouted.

At the same time, they took two steps backward, pulling the distance between each other, to avoid the possibility of the other side’s attack, but enough to control the situation within their own fire range.

Li Xiaotian smirked and stared at his pitch black eyes. She watched the scene with great interest. As her vision collided with Tang Zheng’s eyes, it was hard to hide the meaning of provocation.

Xiao Xiaoleng face grew colder and colder. He didn’t even pay attention to the threat of the police. He slapped his back hand on the window, slamming it.

Crash!

The window that was shot through by the bullet, shattered into pieces. The huge cold wind poured into the carriage, which made Tang Zheng close his eyes reflexively.

Xiao Xiaoleng shot his hand out like lightning and grabbed Fang Shishi, as she screamed, he jumped out of the window dragging her.

Tang Zheng simply didn’t expect the cold man to grab Fang Shishi, he was so frightened. Even Li Xiaotian could not hide her surprise in her eyes.

“Don’t run!” Tang Zheng roared, held the iron box and jumped off the train. The two policemen stared dumbfounded, they jumped from such a high speed train. Were they courting death?

Truly a group of desperate fugitives.

The two policemen quickly squatted beside the window and looked around, but they couldn’t find the opposite party.

“Hey, two policemen, step aside!” Li Xiaotian pat on their shoulders and said.

“Miss, what are you going to do?”

“Of course, I have to chase. Such a good show shouldn’t be wasted. Bye-bye, gentlemen. Oh, by the way, I want to remind you that I lied just now. The murderer was the guy with the flexible sword.” Li Xiaotian said lightly.

“You lied?” The police were appalled.

Li Xiaotian shrugged her shoulders and said, “Yes, one can’t simply believe a woman’s words, especially a beautiful woman like me.”

Her voice fell, and she tiptoed over the top of the two men’s head and rushed out of the window.

“Ah!”

The policeman screamed involuntarily and hastily looked down, expecting that she would be smashed to pieces, but she landed lightly, unscathed, tiptoed, and ran in one direction.

“Stop!” Tang Zheng roared.

Xiao Xiaoleng grabbed Fang Shishi and wildly dashed forward, but because they were two people, the speed was slower after all, a moment later, Tang Zheng caught up with them.

Xiao Xiaoleng suddenly stopped. The flexible sword is on her neck. He coldly stared at Tang Zheng, who was chasing him and said, “Who are you?”

“Let go of my girlfriend.” Tang Zheng raged.

“Answer my question first.” Xiao Xiaoleng murderous Qi was leaking.

Tang Zheng replied, “I’m just a passer-by. I don’t want to pay any attention to your affairs. Let loose of my girlfriend and we’ll go the opposite ways.”

Xiao Xiaoleng sneered and said, “You saw me killing. How could I possibly let you live? I took her to lure you.”

“Why didn’t you kill Li Xiaotian?” Tang Zheng said in disdain.

“Damn, you’re so bad that you encouraged him to kill me. I’m so beautiful and lovely. How can you let me die?” The voice of Li Xiaotian came from far away, then closer, and in an instant, she stood in front of two people.

Tang Zheng angrily glared at her and said, “Why do you want to frame me?”

“For fun.” Li Xiaotian smiled and said freely.

“Fun? Do you know this person was about to get killed?” Tang Zheng was furious, falsely accusing him just for fun was absurd.

“But did you die?” Li Xiaotian retorted.

“I almost died from the gun of the police.”

“Hehe, who told you to deeply hide it? A person does not speak dark words. [1] How on earth did you hide your grade? When I was in your arms, I did not feel any Inner Energy fluctuations.” Li Xiaotian smiled and stared at Tang Zheng as if a doctor had encountered a difficult and complicated disease. She was very interested in it.

T/N: A person does not speak dark words means; a straightforward person does not resort to insinuations.

Tang Zheng was shocked. When she threw herself into his arms, she was trying to examine his background. Right away he knew that his charm was not so great, and it was impossible for a beautiful woman to throw herself into her arms just like that.

Xiao Xiaoleng also heard her speech and stared at Tang Zheng. He inspected countless people, but he still ignored Tang Zheng, because he was really very inconspicuous.

Tang Zheng, of course, would not answer their questions and said, “Why should I tell you?”

“Oh, I am curious. You can satisfy my curiosity, can’t you? Beautiful women very much like gossiping.”

“Don’t act cute, you’re just a poisonous snake, secretly steering up troubles. Once you get the chance, you’ll definitely bite others.” Tang Zheng angrily said.

“Poisonous snake? Wow, am I as terrifying as you said I am? You see that I am so cute, don’t you know how attractive I am? How can I possibly be a poisonous snake?” Li Xiaotian grumbled.

Xiao Xiaoleng looked at them silently and interjected, “Your judgment is very accurate. Those people who leave the Li palace are indeed poisonous snakes.”

Li Xiaotian smiled like a flower, “Wow, is the reputation of a Li Palace person so bad? If I told Grandma that you slandered the Li Palace like this. You, Grim Assassin, would have to escape to the ends of the earth to keep your life.”

Xiao Xiaoleng snorted and said, “Since I am the one who eats this bowl of rice, how can I be afraid of being hunted down?”

“Are you not afraid? Then why did you let me off last night?” Li Xiaotian’s word stabbed him speechless.

“See, just as I’ve said. Man, you affirm with your lips but deny in your heart. [2] That’s what Grandma had been telling me. It really seems to be words of wisdom. Last night you clearly guessed my identity from the Heavenly Silkworm Treasured Armor. Therefore, you rather violate your own rules and let me go. It seems you are still very afraid of the Li Palace. If Grandma knew this, she would be very happy. Li Palace doesn’t coerce fear in others, but let others fear them.”

T/N [2]: ‘Affirm with one’s lips but deny in one’s heart’ means being hypocritical or two-face.

Although Li Xiaotian spoke lightly, even with a little playful and lively, Tang Zheng felt a chill from the information she revealed in her words.

What was this Li Palace, specifically making others fear them? But there was no doubt that the Li Palace must be a powerful organization.

Tang Zheng had no idea regarding any of the world’s organizations and asked, “What is this palace?”

“A good place. Ah, I grew up there since childhood with beautiful birds and beautiful flowers. This was my first time leaving the palace. I didn’t expect the outside world to be so interesting.”

Xiao Xiaoleng was shocked, “You are eighteen years old, aren’t you?”

“Yes, how do you know?”

Xiao Xiaoleng’s complexion turned even colder, as if he were talking to himself, he said, “I should have guessed long ago, the person wearing a Heavenly Silkworm Treasured Armor, must be the holy maiden of the Li Palace. When she turns eighteen years old, she will leave the Li Palace and go out to experience the world.”

“Oh, it seems you know so much about leaving the palace. I thought you, a lone fighter, didn’t know about the world.” Li Xiaotian curiously said.

Xiao Xiaoleng said in disdain, “If I didn’t know the palaces of this world. I would not know how many times have I died.”
