76: Chapter 76 The Bright Moon Token is Obtained

"Tsk! You sure know how to cozy up to people!"

Qin Ge had a smirk on his lips as he looked down at the wailing Shangguan Yuer.

If Shangguan Yuer knew what fate awaited a non-blood-related sister who called him "Brother," would she still be able to say that word?

Qin Ge tilted his chin, feigning ignorance as he asked, "Tell me, what kind of trouble have you run into?"

Shangguan Yuer's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said, "Actually, you know my enemy, Brother. His name is Bai Feng. He's the one who was sent scurrying with his head in his hands by your sniper rifle, only to be blasted into a mist of blood right at your feet before slipping away!"

Qin Ge raised an eyebrow. "You were following me?"

Shangguan Yuer swallowed hard and quickly explained, "I was following Bai Feng, and I just happened to run into you, Brother."

Qin Ge let out an "Oh," then said, "Go on."

Recalling the past, Shangguan Yuer clenched her teeth in frustration and said indignantly, "Actually, Bai Feng and I were betrothed since childhood. But when Bai Feng was young, he was arrogant and overbearing. Because of a minor conflict, he broke the leg of a direct descendant of the Dragon Family! Fearing retaliation, our Shangguan Family broke off the engagement with the Bai Family. Even so, we suffered a series of reprisals from the Dragon Family and were severely crippled."

"The Bai Family was almost wiped out because of this, and in the end, they had to sever ties with Bai Feng to escape disaster!"

The Dragon Family of Magic City is a true titan. They are a behemoth that can shake the entire city with a single stomp. Even now, the Dragon Family holds a pivotal position in the business, political, and military worlds. They are certainly not a Family that ordinary people can afford to offend.

After a pause, Shangguan Yuer continued distressfully, "Everyone thought that Bai Feng, having had his limbs broken and been left on the road to beg, would die of hunger and cold. No one expected that Bai Feng would obtain an Opportunity by chance, leave the Dragon Kingdom, and even gain another Opportunity abroad to make a resounding name for himself. His strength has reached a terrifying level!"

"Bai Feng has been ruthless since he was a child. Having suffered such humiliation, his desire to kill is overwhelming. He has returned this time specifically for revenge! The Dragon Family is powerful and cannot be destroyed overnight. As for the Bai Family, Bai Feng's parents are still alive, so our Shangguan Family has become Bai Feng's number one target for retaliation!"

"I suspect that Bai Feng's revenge has already begun, because the guard dog raised by our Shangguan Family died miserably for no reason two days ago!"

Gulp! At the thought of Bai Feng, who could activate his Body-Protecting Gang Qi, launching a revenge campaign against the Shangguan Family, Shangguan Yuer was trembling all over. It was as if she could already see the scene of Bai Feng going on a killing spree in her home, holding her parents' heads, and smashing her little head into an exploding watermelon with a single punch.

Qin Ge rolled his eyes. The Shangguan Family's dog died, and she could blame that on Bai Feng? That dog had been raised for nearly twenty years; it had clearly died of natural causes, but in Shangguan Yuer's mouth, it had become the beginning of Bai Feng's revenge?

He didn't bother to correct Shangguan Yuer's theory and said with a casual smile, "Didn't you go to the Bright Moon Sect to study martial arts specifically to prevent such retaliation?"

"What's the matter? Could it be that you are no match for Bai Feng, and your Bright Moon Sect doesn't have any experts at Bai Feng's level?"

Shangguan Yuer felt even more aggrieved. She pouted and wiped away her tears. "Don't even mention it! I told my Master about this, but she told me to handle it myself!"

"My Master thinks I have the ability to solve the current problem, but don't I know my own worth?"

Never mind facing Bai Feng; she couldn't even compare to those Senior Sisters in the Sect! Among the Seven Martial Sisters, she was originally the second one to enter the Sect to Cultivate. As a result, the third became the second, the fourth became the third, the fifth became the fourth, and she, the original second, had dropped to fifth!

Shangguan Yuer wailed sorrowfully: "They all look down on me, yet I am not good enough myself. No one supports my lofty ambitions, and I cannot rise on my own. The wind and snow have pressed down on me for two or three years—add it all up, and it's been five years!"

She bowed down to Qin Ge, "Brother, save my life!"

Qin Ge pulled his leg out from Shangguan Yuer's ample bosom, crossed his legs, and asked with a smirk, "Why should I save you? Just because you called me 'Brother'?"

"Of course not!" Shangguan Yuer hurriedly wiped away her tears. Qin Ge was the most powerful person she knew who could protect her. She couldn't afford to be aggrieved anymore and quickly pledged her loyalty. "Brother, you don't know, but those Junior Sisters and Junior Brother of mine, and even your own sister Qin Huanhuan, all harbor murderous intentions toward you!"

"The three of them are just trash, and indeed they pose no threat to you, Brother. But if those Senior Sisters from my Sect come down the mountain, or even if my Revered Master comes down, then there will be big trouble!"

"I dare not say much else, but if my Revered Master comes down the mountain, she could kill someone like Bai Feng with a snap of her fingers!"

Qin Ge narrowed his eyes, scrutinized Shangguan Yuer, who was speaking as if it were all true, and said coldly, "Are you threatening me?"

Shangguan Yuer shook her head like a rattle-drum and pouted, "How could I dare!" She knelt flatteringly in front of Qin Ge, hugged his thigh, and said with a silly grin, "What I mean is, I can be a spy for you, Brother, inside the Sect!"

"If those Junior Sisters and Junior Brother of mine have any plans to retaliate against you, I will report to you immediately. As for the Sect, I will also speak well of you, Brother, and absolutely won't let your image in my Bright Moon Sect deteriorate any further!"

Shangguan Yuer had already thought about how to surrender before she came. As for assassinating Qin Ge? She wouldn't dare, even if she had a hundred and twenty times the courage. Moreover, Chen Yuan, Qin Huanhuan, and Ruan Xingrou combined probably wouldn't be enough to fight Bai Feng. What qualifications did they have to act up in front of Qin Ge?

By being Qin Ge's spy, she could gain his protection and also, at the appropriate time, beg him to spare her Junior Sisters' lives. It was killing two birds with one stone. She would just lose some face. But face was nothing; was it more important than her own life!?

Qin Ge shook his head. "If I protect you, Bai Feng must die. I don't think it's worth fighting to the death with Bai Feng for an inside spy like you from the Bright Moon Sect." He changed his tone, "Unless you give me the bright moon token."

Gulp! Hearing this, Shangguan Yuer swallowed hard in shock. She made a bitter face, looked up helplessly, and said aggrievedly with teary eyes, "The bright moon token is my Revered Master's token of authority. To see the bright moon token is to see my Revered Master. My Revered Master carries this item with her; how could I possibly get my hands on it?"

"And in our Sect, this item is the symbol of my Revered Master. If I were to hand over my Revered Master's token to an outsider, let alone my Revered Master, even my Senior Sisters would tear me to pieces."

"Although I, Shangguan Yuer, am afraid of death, my Revered Master has shown me great kindness by giving me a new lease on life. I don't have this item, but even if I did, I absolutely could not hand it over! This item is more precious than my life!"

Qin Ge did not make things difficult for her and waved his hand to dismiss her. "If you don't have it, then you can leave."

Shangguan Yuer glared at Qin Ge resentfully. "Fine, I'll leave!" She stood up angrily, causing the high, protruding curves of her night-suit to shudder violently. As she turned, a red object fell from her body. Seemingly afraid that Qin Ge wouldn't see it, Shangguan Yuer kicked the token with her small foot toward Qin Ge's leg, and only then did she 'depart in anger'!
