Wu Xian could do nothing against these people who trampled on her.


    Soon, the group stopped in front of a house.


    Ning Shu was carried inside, into the main hall. Allen, who had a huge sword on his back, looked at her.


    He said, a little frustrated, “It’s quite annoying that she can’t understand us. We might as well kill her.”


    Allen reached for the sword hilt on his back, seemingly intending to sh Ning Shu.


    Ning Shu: …


    As expected, he really was ruthless.


    “Release me first, then I’ll tell you,” said Ning Shu.


    Hearing Ning Shu speak, Allen drew his sword.Therge sword’s aura was very strong. Allen eyed the sword, seeming to really want to just cut Ning Shu down.


    Ning Shu: Please be more normal…


    “If you could understand me, why did you pretend to be deaf and mute before?” Allen interrogated Ning Shu.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    “I was so scared I couldn’t speak,” Ning Shu replied.


    “You don’t look scared,” Allen said, scrutinizing Ning Shu.


    “Master, this servant is challenging your authority. You can’t be lenient with her,” said the servant, his arm hanging limply like a noodle.


    Allen’s expression was impassive. “Do you possess any skills?” he asked Ning Shu.


    Ning Shu nodded. “I do.”


    Allen took two steps toward Ning Shu, dragging his sword, which carved a line on the ground.


    “What skills?” Allen asked, intrigued. “Or perhaps you possess a treasure?”


    Rumors said a ve of the Duke of Gars could vanish and reappear in ce.


    The Duke would have that ve perform this skill at gatherings.


    Allen hoped that this female ve he bought also had some sort of impressive skill that he could show off.


    It was best if the skill was also rather graceful and fun to watch so that he could offer the ve to the princess.


    He wanted to outshine the other knights serving her.


    “Release me first so I can demonstrate,” Ning Shu said.


    “Master, this female ve is definitely trying to deceive you. It’s better to brand her first,” suggested the servant.


    “Shut up,” Allen rebuked coldly.


    If this female ve really had unique skills that he could show to the princess, there was no way he could present a branded ve to the princess.


    Allen lifted his sword, which radiated a white glow.


    With a ng, the lock on the iron cage was shed open.


    Ning Shu’s eyes dted, but her expression didn’t change in the least.


    Although Allen hadn’t shed the entire cage, just the lock, it was enough to show his finesse and mastery of strength.


    This Allen was not weak.


    Ning Shu assessed the power gap between her and Allen as she quietly pushed the iron cage door open.


    She stepped out.


    Jesus, she felt like she was leaving a birdcage. Her legs had gone numb from squatting.


    Ning Shu hammered her legs, feeling a pins-and-needles sensation.


    “You can start your performance now,” Allen sat down and crossed his hands over his chest.


    Ning Shu leaned against the cage. “Wait for a bit. My legs are numb, give me a minute.”


    After her hasty cultivation session, she finally managed to form a small strand of energy.


    She had absorbed both yang energy and spiritual energy, so her dantian was currently a mess.


    Ning Shu was weighing the odds of being able to defeat Allen.


    She nced at his giant sword and felt that the odds were a bit up in the air.


    “I’d advise you not to try any tricks. You’re my ve now. You won’t be able to escape the palm of my hand,” Allen warned Ning Shu.


    Ning Shu immediately replied, “What do you mean? I wouldn’t dare y any tricks.”


    Ning Shu rubbed her legs as she mused over things.
