Chapter 55: Saving Someone in Danger (3)

Before their conversation could finish, the situation below suddenly took a turn—

Seeing that she couldn't win for a long time while Young Master Zhao kept taking liberties with her, Miss Liu flew into a rage. Her other hand formed an arc, and a rain of arrows swept toward Young Master Zhao, covering everything.

It was clear that besides being a Martial Artist, this Miss Liu was also a Water Mage.

Fighting at close range and caught off guard, seven Water Arrows pierced into various parts of Young Master Zhao's body like sharp swords.

Young Master Zhao had a look of disbelief on his face, dying with his eyes wide open as he collapsed to the ground.

Miss Liu glanced toward the second floor with pleasure, then walked back to her group triumphantly.

"Young Master!"

Seeing their master killed, the row of bodyguards behind Young Master Zhao all had bloodshot eyes, their gazes filled with fury, and veins popping on their hands.

They all lunged at Miss Liu recklessly, swearing to cut her down and avenge their master!

However, the classmates beside Miss Liu were no pushovers either; they were all honor students from the Empire's Highest Mage Academy, the legendary geniuses.

Thus, a chaotic brawl was about to unfold.

The owners of the restaurant, the grandfather and granddaughter duo, were filled with horror and despair when they saw Young Master Zhao fall.

By now, the restaurant's main doors had been closed. Seeing things take a turn for the worse, the customers in the hall all scrambled upstairs.

They gathered at the top of the stairs on the second floor. Those who knew of Young Master Zhao's background muttered about their bad luck, their faces full of gloom.

But not everyone knew about Young Master Zhao's background, so one of them asked.

The middle-aged man who knew the truth gave a bitter smile. "We're really out of luck this time. You outsiders don't know, but Young Master Zhao was the son of the local Governor—his only son. I never expected him to die just like that."

Someone chimed in, "He's just the Governor's son. Is that such a big deal?"

In the Dongling Kingdom, there were only about twenty or thirty Governors in total.

The middle-aged man kept smiling bitterly. "This is a small town on the edge of the Sunset Mountain Range. Could someone who serves as Governor here be an ordinary good-for-nothing? This Lord Governor's martial arts are unfathomable; it's said he's at least at the Fifth Rank!"

"Fifth Rank…"

The others were instantly silenced.

Fifth Rank… how many Fifth Rank experts could be found in the entire Dongling Kingdom? Even the Grand General Protecting the Nation, General Su, is only at the Fifth Rank.

"Sigh, that girl really… if she wanted to save someone, she should have just saved them. Why did she have to kill Young Master Zhao?"

"If a scum like him isn't killed, should he be left in this world to harm the neighbors?"

"But she could have killed him in secret! Now Old Man Wang and his granddaughter are involved. Governor Zhao is extremely protective. How are the two of them supposed to live from now on? Is this saving someone or harming them?"

"Exactly. That girl looks beautiful and smart, so why was she so reckless? It's fine for them; they'll just pat their bottoms and leave, but how are that grandfather and granddaughter supposed to survive?"

Meanwhile, the grandfather and granddaughter everyone was talking about were clutching each other and weeping, their faces filled with pain and despair.

Su Luo's eyes were cold as she sighed softly. "My jinx of a mouth… everything I said came true…"

Nangong Liuyun rubbed her head. His deep, beautiful eyes lazily watched the people fighting for their lives below. Turning back, his narrow Phoenix eyes squinted slightly as he gave a satisfied smile. "My Girl Luo is always so clever. What am I to do with you?"
